lura tameu. BEDFORD, Fa. PrMa? Ji timing 1 , Oct. 30 ts>r and Fer6." %VU OVRR, EDITOR AND PROPtItKTOR. The 1 a!te Election. The elections in the State and county have resulted in the defeat of the Union ticket. Judge VVilmot i* beaten by Packer, in round nuinber j ,4U,000 votes. Ilazb-burst has about £B,OOO votes. There is a deficit •of a little less than one hundred thousand nyjter this year #cmpareu with tDe last 1 res idential election. The defeat in the county can be attribu ted neither to the weakness of our candi date* net to th popularity of those of our opponents. Our candidates were admitted to be popular men, lully qualified to dis charge the duties of the iffice* for which they were nominated. The fault therefore was not with them. A number of causes have contributed in different decrees to the result. Wo were unfortunately divided among ourselves Instead of directing our united efforts against the enemy, we were constantly employed in settling our own differences. While our friends were vainly endeavoring to effect a complete uuiou upou tire State ticket, our opponenti were busily rfud successfully employed in creating dis trust of ont county candidates; the imprac ticable ot both wings in the end refusing to •vote for theui. These difficulties were t'elt throughout the campaign; and it is now a matter of surprise that onr candidates bore op so well against them. 1 here was ic cuu sequeDce of these divisions a want o, that teal which confidence of success inspire*. Our organization was lamentably inefficient in some townships. There was none oi the esprit de corpa which distinguished the par ty in other election*. While our opponents ea*: nearly their entire vole in the county, our vote is more than five hundred short.— Had our entire vote been polled in the town ships of Utiion, Juniata, Middle Woodburj. St. Clair, East Frovidenee. Southampton, uod Hope*ell,our w hole county ticket would have been triumphantly elected. But our friends in those township* as well aa throughout the county were disheartened on account of the divisions and jealousies that had aiiscn among us ,aud refrained from go ing to the polls. They had strained every uerve at the presidential election one year ago, and were defeated ou account of those unhappy divisions; anticipating a similar dis appointment in regard to their nominees lor diovemor, and other offices, they-determined t o take no part, und let the election go by default- In our Senatorial district tne defeat i-> a matter of surprise s well as mortification. — We had no doubt of the election of our ex cellent Candida tc, (den. Koontr. But the trading of purchased politicians in Hunting •don County, and the magnificent proin;>%*£ oiadc ia behalf of Mr. Schell here at heme, .gave him a start which Somerset County could not overcome. The railroad and plank road project? which Mr. Schell was to put into execution were too daixhng tor many of our plain people nnd they voted for him* But when ihev get that railroad, wo hope they will let us know. The ran made by Oen. Roootz at home is certainly gratifying to himself aud his friends. The result in Mr. SeheH'aeasc is one rf the freaks of pop ular elections. In the start,neitber he nor hit friends bad any hope of hi* sncccss.—— Ho was set up to be knocked down, and o'iuld hardly be prevailed upon to make the sacrifice. His election is a matter of as much disappointment to some a f bis political friends as to his opponents, quiet as they a onld like to keep it. But since this dis trict must be represented by a Democrat we know of no gentleman in the rank* of the opposition whom we would prefer to Mr. Sthel!. We concede that be wilt make i faithful and able representative, but he can't make that railroad. We give elsewhere tbe returrs of' the eleetioa of members of Assembly It wril Se seen that ear friend Oassner escapes by t*e • hair of his teeth," in a district which inordinary lime* is good for one thousand majority against the sham democracy; and so tbej may put it down— next y*a>.

Iu con sequence of the very s'hort and partial notice which was given,a great display was not rx j peeled. But, notwithstanding, the display of agricultural and domestic products was very fine, and the attendance large, under i the circumstances. Had the persons who ; assumed the particular arrangement and I control of the affairs of the exhibition, given I tue public eqnr! notice through our columns, the result would have been tar different, not ! merely in the richness and variety of the ar ticles produced, but in the finances of the society. But those gentlemen could not show off their accustomed favoritism and partiality rxeept at our expeuse; and we could not bo injured in our business by their . narrow screwing policy without its working a far greater injury lo the public. On Wednesday the fair was badly attend ! Ed and it was feared that it would have to ! be written down a failure. But on Thursday the crowd came. The ground within and ' without t>ho enclosure, the streets and stores i and phieee of business were thronged with people, eager to enjoy the pleasures of the day. Not many persons remained iu town on Friday, when the list of premiums ww announced. The display of agricultural and domestic products w! s very fine, but not nearly as profuse us ou some former years. Apples, peaches, melons, potatoes all kinds of fruits and vegetables, of almost fabulous size, were exhibited. We never saw, fine, wheat, rye, corn and farm-products generally. Some of our mechanics exhibited excellent speci mens of their various manufactures. It would be invidious to partieulaiize, but we must bo permitted to mention the tine dis play of tin-ware made by Mr- Abraham Herman. The ladies, always foremost in enterprises of the kind,exhibited a great va riety of preserved fruits,jellies, pickles, and other products of household skill and indus try. The list of premiums will be publish ed next week, and we may then take occa sion to refer more particularly to the arti cles exhibited in connection with the award 8 of the Committees. On Thursday the Bedford Riflemen, Capt. Sansom, the Odd Fellows, in full regalis, and the Bedford Fire Company in complete uniform, marched iu procession through the streets, making an imposing display. The result of this lair establishes, we think, btvond doubr, that they can &e made an annual institution iu Bedford County.— Our citizens prefer this kind of exhibition to any other, aDd will readily come together every season to exchange opinions on the subject of farming, and display their pro ducts. This fair p.aased off exceedingly well, in spite of the shortness of -notice nnd preparation, as well as the manifest incom petency and want of liberality with which it was managed throughout. Let the mat ter ho attended to iu time next year, by ac tive, competent citizens,and there will be no complaint on accouut ci'her of the exhibi tion or the attendance. A ssemMly-—Oflicia 1 BEDFORD.

It is ed* I itcd by'Geo. M. Weston, formerly of 3lair.e t ; and Daniel R. Goodloe, of North Carolina. To show what is the aim of the DCW paper, I we make the following extras'. from its pro- . spectus: Esteeming a- tbs -most imminent and | pressing natinnrl danger, the attempt to f maintain a geographical party by pauder- I ing to the passions of tlio slavery propa i gauda, The Republic will resolutely oppose i an Administration which Las determined I to perpetuate itself by keeping up a foru. | of party so dangerous and so odious. An inflexible attachment to the Union, j ' a reverence for the Constitution of the ■ United States, as the highest achievement j of human wisdom; a geuerai conformity, as to doubtful constructions of the Con stitution and as to principles of public ad niiuietration, to the school of politics illus trated by the genius of Mr. Jefferson; peace and justice iu our foreign relations, the consolidation of our civilization at home, rather thau needless, premature or danger ous enlargements of territory; the dedica tion of our present public domain as a theatre foi tlw prosperous industry of free men, and, with that view, the prohibition ; of its transfer except in moderate quantities to actual settler.-: such, briefly, arc the princip.es, feeiin<r, and objects, which j will civc tone to The Rtiu lit. I w The Dew Congress which will assemble in December next, will bo otic of great iu ! tcrest and importance. The administration j and its supporters iu Congress will be then i compelled to take unmistakeuble ground on the subject of slavery in the nation. Kau | sas will ccuie up for admission as a tree 1 State, ami the debates on that subject will be exceedingly bitter and exciting.

The old adage of "all is not lost that is endangered," is signally verified in reluliou to our Legislative ticket. The first uti-ofl&- cial reports from Bedford, gave Hay nnd Burns majorities in that Couutv ofovers6o, while our own, not mora correct reports gave Stewart SDJ Castner majorities, but little exceeding two hundred in this County The official returns, however, varied the aspect of affairs in both comities, and shewed that while Burns had a majority m Bedford of 353 votes, that Castner has a majority here of 3GI votes,so Samnct J. Castner it elected by a mnj trity of 3 votes. In Bedford, Hay lias a majority of 354 votes, while in this County, Stewart's majority is 211; thus Ilay is elected by a majority of one hundred and forty-three votes. While it is mortifying to the pride of our friends, that Dr. Stew art, the regular nominee, is defeated, yet the defeat of Burns is gall and wormwood to ' our locofoco brethren. They may call tk e defeat of Dr. Stewart, a "Democratic vic tory," but its fruits, like tho apples of the Dead Sea, has turned to ashes on their Sips. After all their desperate efforts, they take nothing by the defeat of Dr. Stewart, and loose all by the defeat of Mr. Burns. Wc have elected Samuel J. Castner, our regular nominee, ar.d they have assisted to elect Da vid Hay, ID Independent, Old Line Whig . candidate : who, during tho entire canvass, j proclaimed that, "He stood where be-always I "did, and had made no pledges to the lnco '•focos." So, the members- from lAis dis trict, are Samuel J. Castner, un .American Republican, and David liny, an Old Line Whig. Have the lncotucus anything to crow over in this?— Somerset 11.raid. THE UESt'LT FOR SEXITOR. We hive no returns, and limbing but a rumor from iluutiugdon, in rilition to tbo vote for Senator. That rumor, however in dicates the defr-at of Gen. KoGSXZ, and as it is, Lnt in accordance with the general overthrow of our par'y majorities everywhere we presume it is true. In Bedford, the majority for Mr. Schell is Gl3, and tbo rumor from Huntingdon gives hiu 137 majority iu that county. As Gen. KOONTZ'B majority in this county is only 593 this beats him 171 votes. It is useless now to speculate upon the causes of Gen. Koomz's defeat, but from present appearances, it can bo attributed alone to the straight American* of Bedford County. Packer has but 37"2 majority, over the combined Wiliuot and Hadehurst vote, in that county, and yot Mr. Sebell has 613. It was unfortunate for Gen. Koontz, that ho yielded to the solicitation of his friends in Bedford, aud devoted souio three weeks of his lime, to the canvass of that county, with the h"ue of saving their county ticket.— Had bu speut that time at home urging out the vo'e of the party i.ere, Le would ur.rjues tiotsabiy have beeti elected.

In correcting sotne pop u.ar errors iu political economy, ho said ibat gold was as much aa American st ip'e as coal was au English staple. The con struction of our railroads might be disas trous to the stockholders, hut it was an ad vantage to the people. The English capital invested in American railroads is a bond of future peace between the two countries. * * * The time was when wrrs were the employment of mankind. Once robbers and pirates were the founders of families. The descendants of fighters the tentitrans-mittoes of a foolish race, had re cently said to the greatest historian of Eu rope. "You aro good enough to train in our company," and tho scholar felt proud of the invitation and aceeptc 1 the bauble; but Baton means fighter, not historian. But in America, money is the social sal vation. It is money that we want—not titles. Farming is hated by the mass of our people; it is not the road to speedy wealth, and to men rush to trade. No where else are such commercial experiments made as in America. This worship of money is a stco forward, but it is attended with great evils. A large portion of our people arc money producers, idlers. Ido not speak of those men who have condensed into twenty-five years the labor of forty; such a man is never idle, the momentum of twenty five years carries him through the last fifteen years. But there are men—Jo nothings, know nothings and leaders nf fashion—who spcud their winters in idleness and their summers in going from pood to pond, carrying a fishline, with a wurro, at "to end and a fool at the other. l think we a.a : :■> i t economical of civilized nation spirit that prevails in out trade is not very botes'. Our sys tem of credit encourages debt by putting off the pay-day. Money is us indispensable to trade as the plough is to agriculture; it is the language of commerce: but we use fr money that which has no intrinsic value —paper. Corn and gold fluctuate in price; labor stands behind both, ant; baptizes tbetn with a specfia value. Paper money is per haps indispetisiblc in large business trans actions. Foreign goods are paid for at paper rates, but with gold. We have tried to make money out of that which is not nion ney. This is cue of the causes—not the sole cause—of the present crisis. Doing business on a false basis, tho system of long credit, commercial dishonesty, and ex travagance in living are tho chief causes of the disaster. It is the brave soldier that gets wounded nud though "soma one has blundered," dot us remember "tho noble six hundred'' who have fallen innocently and bravely. When tbo potato rots, it tolls us that it muxtnot be trusted for a nation's foot!; it is 'he voice of God crying from the ground aud the nation that heeds it not deserves to starve. So this crisis tells us we biv made a mistake. We over rate weal'li. A mil lionarie it not highest proJuetof civili sation. We were never in a better con dition to mend our ways. .

Post SEFIVO TFIE ELEPHANT- —A gentleman from Georgia, who was stopping at Jones'a Hotel, Chestnut street, Philadelphia, was last Saturday afternoon, afforded a view of an elephantine quadruped of the most colos sal dimensions. While talking to a friend at the hotel, concerning tho propiioty of paying a visit to Laurel Hill, he was over heard by an individual, who professed to hail from Louisiana. Louisiana "made a mix" with Georgia, and the two gentlemen got along swimmingly together. Laurel Hill was suggested, and the twain started to that romantio *pnt. After arriving at tlie cemetery, and inspecting Old Mortality and tiic principal monuments, a third gen tleman stepped up.

China was introduced to Georgia, and the latter congratulated himself upon falling in with auoh very good company. In due time, China exhibited a curious ball (the oil patent safe) which ho declared was a contrivance used by tho Chinese for carrying their opium iu.— Georgia bit at the bait, a bet foLowod. and the individual from tho sunny south soon found himself minus §242 in cash, and a watch and chain worth $175, and plus a little lather expensive experience.

TOR R CLING SPIRIT STRONG IN DEATH. —About as strong au exemplification of this raying ns w bavo ever met with was given by the hero of a suicidal projeot which wa undertaken last week, which we gave an ac count of at thotiiue.

Although ho was in the pos session of some two or thteo thousand dol- lars besides, Ire became sick at heart, und determined to risk no more 1 >ssos by bank failures. liis means for doing this was by emigrating to another country■-he trusted a bettet one, but at all events one wbero there were none of that banc of his exist ence, banks to swallow up his profits, aud return him no equivalent, but promise to pay at SOIMO future time. He accordingly west to a drug store and ordered a shilling's worth of arsenic, which was done up tor him. Trne to the last to tho main principles of his life, ho tendered a dime in payment of tho deadly drug which in another hour was to hurry him out of existence, thus unking a saving of two ecuts and a half. After some bargaining it was accepted, and be went away, consoled by the thought that, in the lust trade of his life, he was the gaiuerj lie swallowed the poison, and was saved from death with the greatest difficulty.

Rll OX SEW ORLFtSS BISKS. NEW ORLEANS, Oct, 14 —The Citizen?, Louisiana State Bank, of ieuisiana and Canal Bank refused this morning to take notes on freo banks. The run commenced early on the free bank?, and before three o'clock the Uniau, Merchants' and Traders', and Bank of New Ot leans, suspended specie payment. The Uuion Bank of New Orleans has just suspended. There is a heavy run on all free banks. The .suspension has caused great excitement. The chartered banks are standing by each other. Large deposits are made in all the chartered anJ Southern banks, and, it is said, there is tuore on deposit tban has been drawn. The Bank af James llubb also kept open till six o'clock. There is not a doubt ex pressed of it or the Southern—the only free banks left. Tho Branch Mint purchased fro® the banks $200,000 in silver bullion, paying gold, thus affording joint* relief. There is considerable excitement, but good humor prevails. EFFECTS OF SUSPENSION.—The whole mount of specie iu the United States is es timated at 5200,G00.G00. Pennsylvania, having one-teuth the population, and more thau one-tenth of the wealth of the Uuion, has at least $2- ,000,000 of this specie —in all probabiluy much more, la ordinary times this specie circulator freely. In times of panic and of a depreciated currency, it eearccly circulates at all. If ten dollars iu notes, which arc still money fr.r ordinary transactious, are warth fifty cents or one dollar less than specie, neatly every body refuses to pay out their gold and silver.— They will not suffer their good currency 'to be put ou an equality with a had one.— Tiiis is but natural. Consequently, not on ly have the banks withdrawn many of their own notes front circulation, hut they have also withdrawn the specie front circulations by failing to redeem their note*. Iu a state of suspension, meanwhile, those who have apecie cither hoard it up, or send it to bro kers to be sold fur a premium. Thus thou sands of dollars are sold every day to bro kers in Philadelphia, and they in turn aell it to parties wlto require it to pay obliga tions at points outside af our State, which thus becomes drained of its specie.— Prtss.
