quent and so emphatic were their repetitions OF
it, that some few easy-natured, credulous peo-
pie began, at length, to believe that there
might be some truth in the assertion. The
sequel, however, has shown that they were on
ly "blufing," when they ndulged so freely in
this system of boasting, and that when they
told the people that their candidate for Senator
would be elected by fifteen hundred majority,
they knew they ,oere falsJying, for no politi-
clan as we'll informed of The political condition
of this Senatorial District as these abolition
leaders professed to be, could make a mistake of
seOenteen hundred and te0enty-one, in comPut-
ing the probable vote in the district for the sew
eral candidates. No 1t was their game to
make the people believe that the Democratic
nominee had no chance of an election, and thus
to render Democrats Indifferent to the contest
for Senator. 1t was their plan, as it ever has
been, and doubtless ever will be, to deceiUe.-
Let every patriotic citizen and, especially, eve
ry Democrat, remember this, and hereafter,
when the opposition boast of what they intend
doing, let them be reminded the Democratic
triumph in 1857, in the Senatorial District
planned and arranged by Mr.. Jordan to suit
the wishes and purposes Of his own party.
In order to show how gracefully the politi-
cal aljugglers who edit the AbolitIon newspapers
OF this Senatorial District, play at the game Of
"Brag," we append few extracts from those
newspapers, taken at random .from their col
umns.

Senatorial.
The Locofocos of this District have nominated
WIN. P. ScHELL, Esq, Of Bedford, as their can
didate for Senator, and the Bedford Gazette
talks about his polling "such a vote as will as
tonish those who are credulous enough TO be-
lieve that we shall be misrepresented by Black
Republican Senator in the next legislature
Let every Democrat do his duty tsays the Ga
zette) and Wm. P. Schell will be elected be-
yond peradventure."
Exactly so. Down in Bedford the Locos
talk of Gen. KooNTz as a "BIack Republican,"
here they appeal to the Republicans against
him as 'Know Nothing" We are satisfied
''to let them have their go n'' on any terms
they please. The Gazette talks of its candi-
date as ifit thought he was hnrd- ScheU. Our
b'hoys will make him think he's SchelL-bark
by the way they'll peel him on the 9Th of
October. We can ScheiI-out fifteen hundred
majority for Gen. kooNTz in old Somerset and
that will out-ScheH the opposition candidate in
this district.
Well, the 18th of October came and went
and you didn't do as you promised, Mr.. Herald
& Whig. Instead of giving Gen. Koontz 1900,
as you said you would, you could raise for him
only the paltry majority of 589 What a
''guess" you did make, 10 be sure. Why,
your guessing is nearly as bad as your puns.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR
| 1t will be seen from the proceedings which
We publish in to-day'S paper, that Gen. VIM. Fl.
| KOONTZ, Of Somerset County, has been placed
in nomination for the office of Senator for this
District, composed of the Counties of Bedford,
Somerset and Huntingdon.
GEN. KooNTz is we'll known in Bedford
| County. He has frequently addressed our
County meetings, and last Fall he spent consid-
cradle time in addressing our friends in the diff
| ferent townships. He is one of the leading
lawyers at the Somerset bar, and man of talent
influence and standing. He will have ma
iorty Of some fourteen or fifteen hundred in
that County, and be will also run the full party
vote and something over, in this County, aud
we have no doubt, our friends in Huntingdon
will rally to the nominee, to a man. Mr.
Koontz will rank among the most talented and
able members of the next Pennsylvania Sen
| ate.
