JUG Law !

At the late Locofoco meeting, they passed
Resolution in opposition to the jug Law.
Now would j, be believed that tho present
Legislature is Locofoco in both branches,
and that they have not only not repealed
this jug Law yet, but that in the Senate, all
the stringent License Laws offered in is
stead, have been offered BY Locofocns, and
that the strong probability is that It will no.
be repealed at all. This shows the hypo-
crisy and deceit of the Locofoco party on
this subject. The Locofocos have the power
and they will keep in force the jug Law,
or one a great deal more stringent. The
Americans who voted against our party,
last fall, on account of this law, and the
misrepresentation Of the editor of the Gag
ette, and other lying scoundlels, will now
come back into eur ranks, as they must see
by this time the nlannee Locofoeos took to

THIN ON THIS!

"Above will be found letter purporting
TO have been written by the Rev John
Chambers, which We publish as one of the
extraordinary productions of the age. and
to proue that the man who gets drunk on
fanaticim Is more deplorable object than
the man who gets drunk on Parker whiskey
More infemperate language than that en-
ployed BY Mr. Chambers, in this epistle,

drunkard in the State: and its effect upon
the public mind will Go more injury 10 the
cause of temperance than Mr. Z. can do
good shorld he be permitted TO lecture and
write on this subject for the next ifty years
Because this Reverend gentleman cannot
carry his extreme measures on the subject
OF temperance, he recommends that the ue-
gislature pass bill requiring the Conmis-
roads in the State. aud fill them with whis-
key for the use of Democrats, whom he de-
nominates as below the hog species. Dis
graceful sentiment to emenatc from any
man; pat much more so to come from a
VI mister Of the Gospel. The ipuendo that
the Democratic members of the Legisla-
ture we're bribed by the rumsellers, in pas

their benefit, than the JUG LAW, which
seems to have so strong place in the affec-
tions of Mr. C.---and he and his especial CO.
workers, in trying to fasten such law upon
the people, exhibits the strongest possible
determination sto entail the evils of intern
perance perpetually upon this land Mr.

offered resolution expressive Of the thanks
Of the Convention, the President aud Secre-

bers has been the Pastor of one of the most
devoted Congregations in Philadelphia,

TY OF CHARACTER and powers as
Preacher. .'--Bedford Gazette, Sept. 1st,
1854.
ssFor upwards Of quarter of q century
DR.. c. has been the Pastor Of Congrega-
tiea in Philadelpbia, said to be one of the
largest in that City. After hearing him
preach, we are not astonished that his
church should be constantly crowded dur
ing the hours of service, neither are we as-
tonished that his fame as q speaker, should
be familiar to the whole country, for he cer-
tainly possesses powers in the pulpit given
to but few men. His sermons are entirely
extemporaneous, and hence he keeps the
eyes of his bearers upon MIN, from the mo-
Inent be commences until he closes. The
people who have such man to ministc- TO

true that Dr. Chambers is a Democrat 10

U Our readers have no doubt observed
large advertisement IN the Bedford Gag
cite, proposing for ;he mail contracts. This
advertisement will never do the Government
one particle of service as an obscure country
paper like the Gazette, is scarcely ever seen
or read by the class of persons who take
these contracts. But, We presume, as Mr..
Bowman is one of the best blackguards in
the State, be has got this advertisement,
and will pocket about $500, and the
Government will receive no benefit for il!
But the Post Master General James
Campbell--a rank Jesuit and Papist, only
demands of those editors with whom he
inserts his advertisements, that they shall
abuse, yillify and misrepresent Protestants
and the Protestant ministers, Bowman's
pen and tongue is good at that, and he has
the advertisement He will SANDER any
ones,Eo matter who they are,if be is paid for
it, No one doubts that this advertisement
is the pay for his villanious abuse of some

Our friend of the Bedford Gazette, n
few weeks ago, again .hoisted the name of
James Buchanan for the Presidency. As
Mr.. Dallas has been appointed to the mis-
sion to Englend, it is not very likely that

will hardly take Buchanan's name down
and hoist Dallasn But if President Pierce
should visit the Springs, and offer the same

Mr.. Dallas, the strcng probability is, that
he would haul down Buchanan's name and

AMERICAN TICKET.

We informed our readers briefly, last
week, of the nomination. by the National
American Convention, ut Philadelphia, of
MlLLARp FILLMORE, of New York, for
President, and ANDREW JACKSON DoNEL-
so.i, OF Tennessee, for Vice President. In
accordance with the unanimous sentiment OF
the American party of Bedford County, and
of a great many patriotic men of other par
ties, we this week place their names at the
head Of our columns, and will yield them
cordial support, promising to spare no hon
orable efforts to secure their we'll deserved
triumph next fall.
Mr.. FILLMORE, in the troublous times of
1850, when treason was openly advocated,
in different sections, was then at the helm
of State, and through his patriotic efforts,
aud craftsmanship, the impending storm was
allayed. To no man, of late years, does
the patriotic, loyal citizen of this glorious
nation, owe deeper debt of gratitude than
to Mr.. Fillmore. Under his guidance the
ship of State will be ably and faithfully
steered, from the 4th of March next. No
one doubts that if be now occupied the chair
of State, instead Of the miserable imbecilo
who occupies it, all the ill-feeling which has
been lately gotten up between the different
sections Of the Union, would have been
avoided--the Missouri Compromise would
have remained uudis:urbed. Happy is it
for the American party, for its Nationality
and success, that the pure and patriotic
Fillmore hes been chosen to marshal its
hosta
10 the nomination OF Andrew jackson
Donelson, for the Vice Presidency, the con-
vention was also quite fortunate. He was
the adopted son of President Andrew Jack
son. He has been the aid of the old hero
of New Orleans. was his Private Secretary
throughout all his Administration, and scrv-
ed his country twice as representative to
different Courts in Europe. Gen. jackson
also made him bis executor and heir. So
intimately was be blended with the old he
no, that no other man in the nation knows
more of the jackson Administration than
he. He is acquainted with Governmental
affairs, and sll who are acquainted with him
know that he will fill the station for which
he has been nominsted with talent and dig
nifty. He left the present corrupt Locofoco
party in consequence of that party's deser-
ton of the old Jefferson and jackson land
marks. Truly he is in the only great repub-
lioan party now. Old Jackson Democrats
as we'll as Americans, can vote for him with
the greatest consistency.
This ticket will be the means Of nation
alizing the American party, and quieting all
sections of the Union. That it may be sue
cessful, we most devoutly hope, and all low
ers of their country will yield it their sup
port.
