IaRN ALsIP. ESQ.

Qg A rcport having been circulated that Mr.. Al
sip and the editor OF this paper has had personal
difficulty take this occasion 10 say that the re-
port is destitute OF the shadow OF foundation
We have been on terms OF intimacy with Mr.. Alslp
and his family ever since he moved 10 Bedford, ana
no, word has ever passed between ns 10 mar our
friendly intercourse In all the relations OF neigh
Dor and citizen, we consider Mr.. Alsip gentleman
and whist we shall steadily oppose his election as
matter OF duty 10 the political principles which di-
vide us we expect to pass through the contest With
out an unaind feeling existing between US. The de-
feat OF Mr.. Alsp would afford us furihe- gratih-
cation than to see the party of which he is promi-
reut representative trail its black Flag again in the
dust. as il most assuredly will Mr.. Alsip is en-
trey too good a 10 suffer himself to be used by
such miserable faction, and only regret Is that
he accepted a nomination from such discoTdant ana
contempiible elements-whose LEADERS were all Sc
cretly hostile to him-and used their mightiest et-
forts 10 defeat his nomination We congratulate
him upon rHA1 triumph, at least
u7-The travelling community respectfully re-
ferred to the advertisement Of Mr.. JOSEPH a.
GARMAN, which will be found in the proper 60
lunn. and by which it viii be thai he is run
ming dily line OF mail coaches between Bedford and
atrobe, that passengers desiring TO come from or
go to Plttsburs, can do for less by this than
anv other route. Ina few days he Will have NEW
and handsome Hacks the road, and be prepared to
accommodate the public in the best manner possible
The Proprietor pledges bimself to employ none but
competent and courteous drivers.
GZ-Mr. George Il. Oster, we are told, denies that
he ever belonged to the Know Nothing orgauizationl
If this be true, what claim has he to their votes2-
Did their fearful oaths so shock his feelings as to
compel aim 10 decline the association. If he cous-
dered il wicked 10 join them, it not equally
wicked 10 ask them for and accept nomination al
their hands Why George even scented to be as
hostile 10 the Freemont Abolitonists before the e
lection last fall as were the Democrats, and he
is the standard bearer Of onnon'' of Abolitonsts
and Know No;hngs, thus endorsing both the Plat
forms How a candidate, thus constituted, can have
the et'rontery 10 AK democrat TO vote for him,
IS more than independent Freemen well UNDER
stand. Mr.. Oster is of that class that is never
known 10 vote for a Democrat, and even al the late
Presidential election he was willing to follow The
lead OF ssANY THING to beat BUCHANAN,'' The
lavorte son OF Pennsylvania, and the greatest OF all
living Statesmen. We refer TO these facts 10
put Democrats on their guard for whose VOTES
Mr. Oster seems to have especial and aiectionate
regard \ democfat who had been hard pressed for
his "yote and influence" by this young gentleman,
laughed heartily his credulity, and assured that
be woaId give him hearty support over the-----
Left George viii be taught 10 'shinney on his own
side" between this and the election, for Democrats
are little too wise be caught the spider caught
Tie fly.
