The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1856-09-05

Dy- FIR JoRDAx s. Co., have another "outragen
for the public ear, in the fact that Mr.. BUCHANAN
called upon Rev. MIR. HEYpFN, of the Catholic
Church, and did call upon The Protestant Clergy
men OF the place. This story is about on par with
the eares-aaopping slander To which made alu-
sion last week a few days after Mr.. BUCHANAN ar
rived at the Springs Mr.. HErDeS called TO see han,
as is his custom with distinguished public men Of all
parties when visiting Bedford Whilst they were
in conversation, a gentleman inquired of MIR.
g. if he was al leisure 10 sit for his Portrait, 10
which he replied that he would be in few minutes.
TThis Portrait Painter had sent from Louisiana
TO take the likeness of Mr. Buchanan.] reference
10 this subject induced Mr.. Heyden to remark that
there was Portrait Painter in Bedford professor
CLoeeEa.) whom he considered quite equal 10 any in
the United States, and reqaested Mr.. B. when he Wis
tied the town 10 call at his (Nr. Heyden's) house
and see specnsns of his great skill in the art. Mr.
Buchanan said he would do sc with great pleasure,
aud accordingly fulfilled his promse-and this act of
common courtesy is heraded 10 the world bid
for the s.Catholic vote, and intentional slight TO
the Protestant clergy of the place!
In addition to the gentleman above allued TO, the
Ministry of Bedford consists of Messrs. HEckERMAN,
BENEDICT, SAMPLE, GIBSON, and Irwin, none of whom
are tarnisbng their clerical robes by entering
the arena OF politics. We I1ow that of them
will role for Mr.. Buchanan, and that they all enter
tain for him high regard, both gentleman and
Statesman. Rev. Mr. IRWIN, who has for many
years been recognized as warm advocate of the
Whg cause in Bedford County, is the decided friend
OF Mr.. Buchanan, aud will vote for him because be
considers the dearest interests OF our beloved coua
try identified with his success. And further he
views the Know Nothing and Abolition organiza-
tons demora!izing and dangerous in all their
denotes.
We had hoped that it would not be necessary, in
any way, to connect the Ministry of Bedford with
political contests, but the OF our opponents
has rendered it necessary for Us TO say this much.
All they have made by the operation, they
place 10 the credit of their joint hrml
Gg-WM f. Booxr, Esq, who formerly lived in
Bedford, but who is resident of Philadelphia.
has taken strong ground in favor of Buchanan and
Democracy in late letter published in the Pemnsyi-
0gaiam. Mr.. Boone the Wing and antimasonc
candidate for the State Senate in this District some
years since, and held All honorable appointment
der the administration of Gen. Taylor Satisfied
that the present sDis and sectional factions are tend
ing to certain dissolution Of the Union (if
fui,) Mr.. Boone manplly declares for the party he
has always heretofore opposed. it being the only Ma
tiopal Party now in existence. Many ef his old
Wing friends in Bedford will cheerlully endorse his
course by stepping upon the sane platform.
Gg-That Mr.. Polk E'better tariff man than
MIR. Clay is fully exempfed by the fact that Mr..
Poik's tariff is now endorsed by all sections of the
country whilst Mr.. Clays, that Of 1912, is not so
much as named in any political discussion in any
State in the Union. Who wants better evidence Of
the truth OF the assertion than this
