DEMOCRATIC Prophecies rrLFILLEp.
THE 'AMERTCAN'' PARTY DRAGGED
INTO ABOLITIONISM AND IT'S

THE ABOLITION CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR


Fremont and Abolitonism. For doing this,
Democrats were pronounced liars and scoun-
drelS, and the vials of Abolition wrath were
poured out upon their heads in unceasng
streams. Nevertheless, the result at the No
vember election, proved the charge to have been
we'll founded. and verified the prophecy to the
very letter. Notwithstanding the repeated as
surances given BY the Fillmore leaders, both
from the stump and through their newspaper
organ, that they would remain steadiast in their
support OF the 'American" candidate, Election
dav found them voting and working for the
"Union Electoral Ticket" planned by FIRE.
mont wire workers, and gotten up for the speci-
al benefit OF lhe Abolitionists and their candi-
date. The speakers of the Fillmore party,
made il point particularly TO deny that they
were in league with the Fremont factinn.-
They were unspar;og in their denunciations of
those who charged them with being in favor of
the election of that candidate. They insisted
that they were Fillmore men and nothing else.
But. mark the end Two of those speakers,
Francis Jordan and Wm H. koontz, after
having endorsed the SraigH Fillmore Ticket,
after having made the Ioudest professions Of at
achment TO the interests of Mr.. Fillmore, when
the election CAM on, turned around and became
the uncompromisng advocates Of the s'UnioR
Electoral Ticket" composed of Fremont elect
ors, with FilImore's name at the head, as a

and one who took very active part in the last
campaign, DR.. Compiler, now says that the Fill
more party was sold out last Fall to the Fre-
montrrs-EsoId,' TO use the strong language
employed by the Doctor, g like sheep in the
sham5les . Here, then, is the proof, drawn
not only from their conduct in turning from the
Straight Fillmore Ticket, (which they kept
standing al the masthead Of their organ until
within a short time OF the election, and which
they had approved time and again. TO the sup
/ port OF the Fremont Ticket, but directly given
in the declarations of one of their own leading
men, establishing CLEARLY and ncontrovertibly
the truth of the charge made by the Democrats
that the Fillmore men of Bedford county would
/ be humbugged into voting for John c. Fremont.
| II evidence We're wanting that this infamous
! trickpry was accom- mplished, il would only be
necessary to advert 10 the fact that the two prin-
/ ciPaI Fillmore speakers that last Fall canvass
1 ed this county, are now warmly supporting for
Governor, the right hand man Of John c.
/ Fremont, in Pennsylvania, and who was also
4 one Of the men that signed and published the
call for the Convention which met al PhiladeI-
/ pha, and nominated Fremont in opposition to
Fillmore, DAvD Wnuor, the Bradford Aboli-
ZIONIST. These Fillmore speakers, Messrs. Koontz
and Jordan, are now, where the Democrats
predicted last Fall, they would be, in the ranks
Of Aboliionism. The Fillmore candidate, Mr.
/ Hazlehurst, has no charms for them. They are
for Wilmot, the pimp Of Horace Greeley, who
denounced Fillmore as traitor TO his country :.
/ They are for the doctrines Of which Fremont
was the representative in the last campaign, and
which Fillmore declared to be fraught With
danger 10 the best interests of the nation
Should not men, therefore, who respect them
selves, turn away from them in disgust, and
give deaf ear to their reckless assevprations ?
Should they not be met when they come with
/ promises like those made by them last fall, and
which they did not fulfil, with that contempt
which their shameless conduct so richly merits?
/ Citizens Of Bedford county, BE- warned against
their poltiea quackery, MEASURE these men
by the standard of their past deeds, and teach
them that they cannot fost their sopbisms upon
You with imPunity.
QEThe organ Of the Plug Ugips in our
neighbor county Of Somerset, is very cross on
account Of the opposition made by US to its can
didate for Senator because of his Abolitionism.
It says that We oppose koontz on the ground of
his being an Abolltonst, whilst ia Somerset
county his opponents urge as an objection 10 his
claims, his connection with The order of Know
Nothings. We would ask the Somerset Plug,
how can We help doing this, when Koonlz is one
thing here and another therp-wheh hp pretends
TO be an "Amercan" with s'Americans' and an
Abolilionist with Abotlonists2 1t is our priv
