Among the .number we no- j tice the name of the ''Bedford Inquirer and Chronicle," and the amount charged as having been received by the editor of that j paper is §SOO. The statement, it appears, is gtven on the strength of sn Btiidnvit by a?>V> W. Wffdifard, a hiftd of fife New i'riric Herald, who (dates that he teecived the list from Lieut. Gov. Ford, of Ohio. In this Address Mr. Swoope states, that "there are some other names on the above list, that for reasons perfectly sath-fa'ttbry to uiyStlf ahd to the gentlemen whom I heve consulted, pre not voir pub lished." W hij are these itautes net pub lislicdT '■ llueher in the course of h Ad dress, eay 5 , or not the papers abore enutuera'ed -acthnlly received the ! amounts spceitied, 1 ehi, of eours", uiiable t to say." This sentem-e alono proves hint I a scoundrel of the deepest dye: he Make* i charges in one place, and in another, hetti- • a'lv says that he don't know whether they are true or not. Sb fur srs the above charge has any refer- ! enee to the editor of thia paper, we pro- ' notint e it a base IE, an unmitigated false- ! Lttod, and : Its author an infamous liar and ; sccutldieh Our course during the last campaign is j well known. We were an American from first tOjl ist, as the files of our paper fully arid satisfactorily show. From the time ot Mr. Fillmore's nomination at Philadelphia until the electron, we supported him j tiifcfugiioUt in good faitli. But early in the | canvass, seeing the hopeless division of thy opposition elements in Pennsylvania, and being fully satisfied of the utter impo-sibili tv of carrying the Ktate for Mr. Fillmore, We favoted a union of the opposition ele ments on a fingle electoral ticket. By: that means tfc hoped to secure r.t least a portion of the electors from Pennsylvania J for Fillmore and Douelson, thus throwing the State against Buchanan, and the dec-j tion of President into the House of Kepte sontafives. This we conceived was the on- : lv hope for Mr. Fiilmore, which subsequent events have fully demonstrated. Had j .those "straight-out Americans" in Pennsyl vanra ; ursut'd the course last fall that we did, Mr. Fillmore might now be occupying the executive chair. in rtw-*pr.ici-' "ria"nfer* J A jnCl'i EvrrgiisVl-tyq which was tid Iressed by Me.-srs. Hazelfmr-r and Swotqic, the latter genfleiiiah, tn the , cotirsc of his speech made some genera! charges of corruption against those presses in Pennsylvania that Supported a union ; electoral ticket. We inmiedtatelv put • the question to Mr. Swoopc—Was the Sud fbrd liKjtiirer and Chroriicle in that list ? He replied, that ",'le ttv/s hnppy to sf'th ffi,,/ the Hertford fhqnhrr (tn ! t'ftrotntle wis not on Unit list This was said in the presence of at least one hundred respecta ble witnesses, who can testify to the truth of the assertion. We presume Mr. Hwoope has since fottnd it necessary to accomplish some purpose not then thought of, to put our paper in that list. We n *ccmpanied Mr. Swoope from the Bedford Hotel to the CVurif House, aud in conversation on the | way tbfre, be remarked -lo us that "he did not hhitic us for supporting the union elec toral ticket lu-t fall, and that had "Alt been in our ait it'tt ion in this County, he tcould hope do w> the wry si me. thine!" To se cure a large Vote for Ilazelhurrt, to defeat Wihnot, and elect Pucker, is the evident object of this hired Loeefoco eiunii-*ii:y, u'lm trnvcls under tire guise of Amerieau- I i-nq in making these fsk-a charges against , the American press in the counties iu which American sentiment predominates. Now we will bind ourselves to pay the suui of one thommul dollars, to Mr. Swoope or any one else, who will make (lie above charge as against us good, that we ever ro- . eeived one dollar as a consideration for sup porting the uni.m electoral ticket. Now slanderers, here is a fair opportunity for you to make your allegations good, or for ever hold youi peaco. Wc,appeal to the honesty and candor of the people of Bedford County, to beiieve no .such charges of so serious a character. ; unless clearly substantiated by positive tes- , tiuiauy . We think we are well enough kiwwu i:i Bedford County, where we were , . raised, uu l arc willing to by the rep utiitieu which wchavii acquiicd iLuoug our i'eiipvv citiz^'irs. >V. i. Scbell, Bsq.

Mr. Wilmot, tliecaiidiibito for Governor, is a man of rare abiii'y and unimpeachable j ; character, and eminently merits this sup- I port on account of his personal worth. Ills ' great popalarity at home is the best cvi i der.ee of his claims to the favorable regard 'of the peo[ 11 of the State. And it should he remembered that deep solieiMt le is felt throughout all the northern Counties of the , State, where he will receive overwindiniug majorities, and where, heretofore, the de mocracy carried everything before it.— Should they he disappointed in their hopes, ju- means of the iukewartmico that they may : never be re-united.

Is it wise, then, to divide our : strength, and allow our opponents to carry these important offices? Have the Ameri ' cans who hesitate to support this ticket du- ! ly cilcalatod tlic consequences of their con ' duet? We entreat them not to throw away 4 their votes, but to allow the "sober second i ' thought" to incline them to a cordial union I : with the great body of the Auiericao party, h ' and thus assist in achieving a glorious vie ! fory over Our ' ancient political adversaries. j At the request of several Democrats of this (J unity, who hail intended to vote for Packer, utter hU nomination, au l before, j the fact became.kuown that he had support-? : ed a strong Prohibitory Mi fie Liquor L tW, , whilst in the Senate of Dennsyiviinia, we j re-publish our article of several weeks ago ! o.u this subject.

Oh fh© foiiowing morning tlie sfory of the pole ; sprinkling was told us by two different gentlemen, whom had s">n Dr. ! Stewart sincethe niiditte ofthe previous dity. j , The fact of the Doctor's being in iVeabin- , t:is fill a Jato hour in tlie evening, can he ; i establi.si.ed by more than fifty of the voters of Greenville towifthip; some of whom are | Democrats, while u:i equal number perhaps, j 'of those present at.

Of the truth or falsity of the story , wc a' i present care nothing; but wc published it at tue time it occurred, on what wc then thought aud still think, sufficient authority, and dm Democrat did nut then even dure to deny ir, let alone cliargc it as a falsehood upon Dr. STEWART. In this community, where the Democrat is kf.own, its slanders injqru no one, but as we before remarked, this lio was invented for circulation in Bedford County., therefore we have gone to the trouble of .shewing its utter impossibility, as well m improbability. The commuuity iu which Dr. STEWART re sides, and where for years lie has practised his profession with great acceptability, is noted iu this County fr its high toned moral and religious sentiment, and die fact that he received not only a uearly uuanimous, but ;.u uuusualjy heavy vote at the primary election, proves the estimation in which he is held by Lis neighbors, as well as the utter and outrageous falsity of tho Democrat's chargo against reputation. We add only, for the enlightenment of our friends iu Bedford, that charges similar to this brought again-I Dr. STEWART, have been made bv the Democrat against nearly every prominent American in this community, and i that we could readily name a score of our most reputable citizens—men, the 1 itcbct of whoso shoes the editor of the Democrat is uot worthy to unloose, whose good names . 7-.".-,;. ■ —- I have been atdpferiwit times a* grossly t§fiig ned by tlufppTsc! dfAjtg- . nant S^'j Hjp .J The fri-nds of DavLi WII.MOT throngh out the country, who hie!uJo all the sincere : iipponeaU of the present pro-?hvery admiu istration, should feel that now i- the tine f 'ft>rthAn^<^Re v at work in the cause of Frec ! ilotn.
