4 WORD To VOTERS!

II Freemen of Bedford County, the election
is close at hand On Tuesday next you will
be called upon to deposit your votes for the
candidates that have been placed in nomination.
A more important election has not been held
for many years If you love the Constitution
for which your forefathers have bIed aud died-
if you cherish and wish 10 perpetuate the gIorl-
Gus privileges of our institutions which
some Of YOU have lived so long, and that so hap
pily--it is high time that you should arouse and
assist in striking down this vile monster Of know
nothingism That the Democratic Party is able,
if united, TO do this, We want no better evidence
than the fact that their regularly nominated
candidate for Canal Commissioner has been
made to withdraw and acquiesce in the nomi-
nation Of another man who comes before the
people as the candidate of all the factions in the
State. They know too well that their Order
is too weak to attempt TO run candidate Of their
0wn-they know that hundreds have left them,
and many more are leaving every day-but, in
order to defeat the Democratic candidate foI Ca
nal Commissioner, and for this sole purpose a.
lone, they are willing to abandon their nominee
aud 60. with abolitionists. We hope the FREE
MEN Of Bedford County will shew, on Tues
day next, by giving united support to the
Democratic Ticket, that there is something more
than mere preference for candidates to be
gained by this contest that there is principle
involved which is dear TO every lover OF the
CONSTITUTION and OF civil and religious
liberty. We cannot believe that the people
will again place in power, men who have not
the interest Of their constituents at heart, but
are sworn to act in accordance to the dictates
of a secret oath-bound Order We think the
people Of this Commonwealth We're siekened to
the very heart by the acts OF the KNOW Moth
ing Legislature last winter and II they will
but remember the manner in which they sqnan-
dered the money oil the taxpayer, the law they
passed in direct opposition TO the expressed will
ofthe majority, voting themselves i've hundred
dollars for the session, endeavoring to remove
the Capitol to Philadelphia, and thereby incur
heavy expense for the taxpayer to pay' ane
many other laws which the people rePudIatt
as unjust and tyrannlcal, they will See that tins
is the time to crush these lanatical spirits, ant
teach them that the people rule. FREEMEN
arIse. and let the result OF Tuesday next, pro
claim to the world that you still love the Con
stitution and the Union.

I'll Know Nothings, (says the .lHisSissip-
P1an,) and particularly those protesting reli-
gion, ponder the following extracts from the
Gospel OF Jesus and we especially invite the
attention Of Methodsts to Rev. DR.. Clarkp's
comments thereon. Turn to the first Epistle of
James, 9th chapter, and 18th verse, and read ::
"But above all things, my brethren, s1rear mol.
neither by heaven, neither by the earth. nei-
ther by any other oath, lest We fall INTO con-
demnalioD." So likewise in Matthew. 9th
chapter, and 34tb verse: s'But / say unto
yon, srear not at all, neither by heaven, for it
IS Gods throne, nor by the earth, for it is His
iootstoo, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city
Of the great King"
Rev. DR.. Clarke, in his commentary on
