More Lies!

We understand that Gen. James Burns, still
continues bis assertions, in bis e!ectioneerns
trips through this County that the people of
Somerset County intend to vote for Walker and
Hay, the two Somerset County candidates., The
Card of Mr. W. 10 our last paper clearly puts
the lie TO this charge. Our friends in Somerset
will do all in their power for Mr.. Williams as
well as Mr.. Walker, our candidates for Assem-
bly. MIR. Burns had better get at some other
clectioneerine hobby-this bait won't take.
We understand, also, from reliable authority,
that when Mr.. james Burns, was using this
hobby In the Northeastern part of this County,
he was asked the question, spould he uote for
GEORGE W. WILLIAMS he replied that ssho
certainly would.' This is mean and conte,np-
tible way to try to catch votes, but it won't do,
Mr.. Burns will not vote for WILLIAMS, and
only says that he will, to deceive you He will
not, and dare not vote for man OH our ticket.
Williams and Walker, are first rate men, aud
we trust all our friends will see that both their
names are ON their tickets
We also have it from good authority, that
b. +. Meyers states in his speeches, that Mr..
Walker told bim that if he was elected. uhe
would take the seven hundred dollars pay, and
if tho Legislature increased the pay to one
thousand dollars, he would take it and put it
into the funds of the agricultural society..-
This is Ii. out of the whole cloth, Mr.. Walker
NEVER told Myers SO, he is not on such iuti-
mate terms with this haug-dog as that. Mr..
Walker has pledged himself to us, aud author
lied US TO state that If HE is ELECTED HE WILL
DO ALL IN HIS POWER TO BRING THE PAY
DOWN TO $500-THE FORMER SALARY. He
WILL VOTE AGAINST ANY INCREASE, AND HE
WILL VOTE AGAINST ANY EXTRA PAY FOR
ANYTHING.
Mr.. Williams writes to US and authorizes us
to say, that "HE WILL VOTE FOR AND
ADVOCATE THE REPEAL OF TIE
EXTRA PAY LAW" should he be elected.
He also ssfavors the reduction of the salaries
of all the high-salaried ofice-holders in the
State" Such are the facts let the people
know them, and vote accordingly Believe
nothing that Burns or any of the Locofoco
speakers may say agains: our candidates.
Williams and Walker are excellent men, will
make good and attentive members, and we hope
all our friends viii stand by them to the last.

David Hay and Extra Pay |!

REMEMBER, taxpayers of Bedford Coun-
ty that DAVID HAY, the Locofoco caudi-
date for the Legislature from Somerset County
took the TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS EXTRA
PAY, OF THE LAST LocoFooo LEGISLATURES,
AND APPLIED 1T TO HIS OWN USE. If you
oppose Legislators pocketing your money in
tho shape of EXTRA PAY, vote against him on
next Tuesday. Gen. Burns is in the same
boat with EXTRA PAY DAvY HAY, and will no
doubt do all he can to get some of the EXTRA
too, in case he should be elected
GEORGE W. WILLIAMS and GEORGE G..
WALKER have pledged themselves against Ex-
TRA-PAY in any shape. Which will you
chose taxpayers Of Bedford County! HAY,
BURNS AND EXTRA-PAY or WILLIAMS and
WALKER AGAINST EXTRA-PAY

Gideon lid. Trout.

We have heretofore considered the voters OF
Bedford County fortunate in having the OPP
portunity to vote for SO good man as Gideon
D. Trout for County Commissioner. He not
only comes fully up to the good old Jefferscni-
an standard Of honesty and capacity, but is So
cialIy most agreeable gentleman, aud every
way most acceptable candidate. And yet, in
the Gazette of last week, in an article headed
"Jacob Beckley," is the following false and
cotemptible paragraph;
ellis opponent, Gideon D. Trout, is not to be
compared with him in poiut Of ability. Nr.
Trout is bad fnancier, poor manager, as is
proved by his heavy Indebtedness. A mar
who cannot keep his own affairs in order, espe-
cially with the opportunities Mr.. Trout has
had, would make very unreliable agent for
the people. The County needs just such
mau as Jacob Beckley TO keep it out Of debt"
The above article, to say the least of it, is
very nngentleu,anly and very untrue, and its
falsehood is so manifest with those who know
Mr.. Trout, that we doubt not it will do nim
more good than harm. In recent suit, where
the worth Of DIR. Trout's property was called
10 question, witnesses stated upon oath that he
was worth more than twenty thousand dollars
oUer and Gbove hiS tadebtedneSs; and get this
is the man OF whom Il is said he sscannot keep
his own affairs in order" He never got dol
lar from from his fathers estate, but has been
actively engaged in storekeeping, milling and
farming for many years, and now has hand
some estate, acquired alone by his honesty,
ability, business tact and hard work. Heis
one of our most intelligent and successful bus
iness men, and yet, according to the Gazette,
be is ga bad 6nancer," and ga poor manager"
We would not say anything unkind, and
much less untrue, about Mr.. Beekley, but We
do think the Gazette has been doing him bad
service by getting up comparison between
him and hlr. Trout. lie has not half the bus
mess tact, experience or ability of Mr.. Trout,
AID everybody who knows the two men knows
these facts. And it is a notorious fact, proved
by the County records, that it is only few
mouths since the property of this great dpan-
cier, Beckley, was in the hands of the Sheriff;
and we will ouly suggest that the less Mr.
Beckley's friends say about the matter the bet
ter it will be for him.

Notes and Queries for Working Men.

The federal government has recently made q
contract for $750,000 worth of Scotch water
pipes, which are now in course of being deliv-
cred.
The Galveston and Houston Railroad Com
pany has just made a contract in Belgium for
14,900 tons of iron.
The Atlantic aud Great Western Railroad
has just made large contract in England for
railroad iron.
The shipments of gold from New York las.
week amounted to 81 1861, ,l40 46.
The total shipments from that port, for this
year, have been $l9.400,S49 46.
If We had made our own iron, could we not
have retained all this gold
If the demand for gold had not existed,
should we have had the financial crisis of the
last year and present year
Had there been no reason for such crisis,
would not confidence have prevailed throughout
the community, enabling men of activity and
enterprise to obtain the loan of money at mod
crate rates of interest
Had such men been able to obtain money at
such rates, should we now see our mills and
furnaces closed, aud our mines abandoned Z
Had our mills, furnaces and mines been kept

demand for labor!
Not having done 81, what is their present
duty to their wives, their children, their couu-
try, and themselves
Does not that duty require that they should
refuse 10 vote for any man whose past history
does not furnish conclusive evidence that he is
honestly in favor of such tariff as will ena-.
BILE US to make our own cloth and iron, and
keep our gold at home
Had the demand for labor increased, would
not wages have tended TO become higher, even,
than they before had beeua

Poor Director.

We warn the people of Bedford County
against the election of JOHN AMOS, the Loco
foco candidate for Poor Director. He is in
every way unqualified for the Office, and if un-
fortunately, he should be elected, the people Of

tion,in case Of his election, to hape CHRISTIAN
SToUFFER, hs son-in-iaw, appointed as the
Miller Mr. Stouffcr, several years ago, had
charge of the Poor House Mill, and the people
know how badly affairs were then managed,
and if they wish to return to the same state of
affairs, they will elect john AMOS. Remem.
Der our prediction, as sure as he is elected,
stouifar will be the Miller. lie also intends to
have his own son appointed to the Stewardship,

as Steward, and the son-in-law as Miller, the

COL. FORNEY'S ADDRESS,

In the Press of Both ult. appears an address
of some eight columns of Mr.. Forney's, in
yiDdication Of the principles of Popular Sow
ereignty, and in reply to the assaults of the
Leeompton organs. He intended to deliver
the address ct public meeting, but the null
tiplicity of bis duties has rendered it mposs-
bic. He commences by reviewing the part he
took at Tarrytown, and the causes which in
dueed him to make the speech which he did
there.
He then alludes to the statement of the
Union, denying the conversation he is repre-
seuted to have had with the President He
says: "Nos only did the conversation take
place, but many things that were said we're
omitted in the Tarry:own speech. Among
other things, the President said, sIf yo1, Walk
er a1d Douglas will unite in support of my
Kansas policy, the people Of Kansas will vote
for II at the election on the 21st of December.
] know that y2u have The strong side of the
question, and that yon can carry off the people,
but appeal 10 you TO stand with me, because,
if | don't adhere to NY policy, Alabama,
Georgia and Mississippi will probably sccede
from The Union.' \ few days after this in
sterview, friend from Southern y. York visited
me tForncyl at PhlladeIpha, saying that the
President had desired him to assure me that
the President intended to make his Kansas
policy test upon the party, and that no man
would be tolerated by the Administration who
did not approve and sappert it's
Regarding the Unions assertions that his
lForney's) statement of the cabinet meeting is
false, Mr.. Forney says that the report of the
conversation between Walker and the eabine;
was communicated and described BY COL s. NJ
johnson, one Of the editors Of the Union.--
MIR. Foruey then alludes to the attacks of the
New York Herald upon him, applying terms to
the editor of that paper far from complimentary.
de next quoted from several articles that had
appeared in the Herald during the Presidential
campaign, saying that Nlr. Buchanan once said
TO him with much excitement, 'Why am | so
iraduced and pursued by this Infamous kuaye
Have | no friends who will visit New York
aud punish him as he deserves His ears
should be taken off iu the public stre ets''-
Subsequent to the election when he iForney)
had published caustic article about Mr.. Benz
nett, MIR. Buchanan regretted the publication,
saying, 81 desire that Sir. Bennett shall sun
port my administration" Mr. Forney then re-
views the political condition of the Union,
claiming that all the Democratic victories at
the North have been anti-Lecomptou, and con-
cludes by predicting the complete overthrow
Of the Presidents rule in the coming election
in this State.

The County Debt |!

REMEMBER, voters Of Bedford County,
that since the IIocofocos have secured ma
jority of Commissioners and Poor Directors.
the Debt Of Bedford County is somesUhere in
the neighbmhoOd of $4,000! They bor-
rowed $4,000 las. Spring, and by next spring
the probability is that they .O,H be borrowinq
more
REMEMBER, that they have created a
new ofhce-tinker at the public buildings at
an expense of $4OO aud $500 a ye ar, when
the buildings should not cost over $40 or $50
d year. Remember that this tinker is almost
constantly employed at the buildings.
REMEMBER, that the County buildings
cost $Sll.36 in 1s56-and $45l. in 1857
land the probability is that they will cost the
taxpayers $500 in 1858, at the rate the fink
ering has been going on so far this year.
REMEMBER, that the present Locofoco
board of Commissioners, last year, by m,sman-
agsnssnt, bungiing and careiessness, sunk for
the County, in two small matters, the sum Of
$1087.S5!
REMEMBER, that the present Locofooo
board of Commissioners have sunk the County
SO largely in debt that we will not be able to
pay it off for generation to come
REMEMBER, that your County tax will bo
largely increased neat gear, to pay the enor-
nous debts incurred by the Looofoco Cemmis-
sioners.
REMEMBER, that the Poor House is fast
running you into debt, and that its affairs arc
badly managed under the present Locofoco
board of Directors
REMEMBER, that when the Americans
had majority in :he board, that the taxes
were lowered-that they paid off portion of
the debt--but under the present Locofoco ma
jorlty things 60 on in the old way.
REMEMBER, that the only way TO have
things 60 better, is to make change in the
Commissioners Office, and in the board of Poor
Directors.
