BEDFORD INQUIRE gR.

''You claim the credit of being The FIRST to
publish a paper in Bedford for one dollar and
ffty cents year. This is the fact, but the
subscribers to the Gazette never grunbled at
two dollars j year, and DO not think any man
should be asked to publish country weekly
for less g. ~ Botcmaa, in The last Gazette.
More lies TIE Bedford Chronicle, pub
lished 10 Bedford few years ago, was ouly
$3.50 per anpum as, we think was also the
Jackson Democrat The subscribers to the
Gazette, we have reason to know, did grumble
at the terms under Bowman, and Mr.. Bcnford,
chief Of the three editors, in bis last paper, in
note to this Bowman letter, contradcts him
and states tina, 81 was at the earnest solicita-
ton of many of their patrons that they reduced
the subscription price Of their paper"
---~~~------
Bowman, 10 his letter in the last Gazetie
deprccates the starting Of ''Young Men )
Christian Association" in Bedford, and inti-
mates that it will will do no good. Everybody
knows that these Associations baye done iln-
mence good all over the country, Locofocoism,
as party is opposed to everything that will
advance the cause Of christianity ami truth
Christians see this doctrine in the last Gazette

HARVEST HOME.-FREE DINNER
NOT QUITE According to advertisements
in the Gazette, and BY handbills circulated all
over the County, Harvest Home Dinner came
off last Saturday, at Hafer's Hatel l. was
given out that President Buchanan would take
Dinner there also, and il order to drawAs large
a crowd as possible there to see tie President,
it was gotten OUT that all parties we're freely
invited to partake of the Dinner, "without
money and without price" The bill to be footed
BY his Ezcellency. A great many persons
came 10 town, but few took dinner-about sew
enty-fgc, we understand, for We were not il
town, and very few of them of the opposition.
The President was there, but those who partook
Of the refreshments had to foot their own bills,
and many of the faithful returned to their
homes with 'curses loud and deep" against
bogus democracy and deception.

ROWING COM N;SSEOYS.

The general telegraphic dispatch from this
city, of July %, says
''The President, before leaving for Bedford
Springs, appointed John Nugeut, Esq, editor
of tho San Francisco Herald, who is now here,
an agent to proceed to Frazer river, TO make
proper representations to the citizens of the
United States, with the view of preventing
collisions or outbreaks in that quartxx'
OF course, this is mere job, got " to re-
ward partisan for whom nothing else could
be found. 1t is mere nonsense tC say that our
citizens in New Caledonia need any instructions
in their duties, aud if they did need any, what
peculiar ftuess has Mr.. Nugent to give them (?
What can be more impolitic, what more calcu-
lated to arouse the jealousies of the British
authorities, than sending American Govern
ment agent into British territory OF course,
Mr.. Nugent would like TO make trip to the
Frazer mines at the public expense, but this
is not a sufficient reason for allowing him to
put his hands iuto the Treasury.
The amount Of money spent by this Admin
istration in these rowing commissions is enor-
nous. Ii is only lately thar William Carey
| Jones returned from Nicaragua, where he had
! been capering about for a year, at nobody
knows how much cost, and all to reward him
! for writing letters against his broher-u-law,
Col Fremont. II Is now said thar Francis j .
Grund has gone on secret mission to Europe,
to reward him for his libels upor honest men,
and his ready apologies for the corruption snd
rascality of the party III power. And these
are only samples of the style 10 which the Ad-
ministratiou appropriates the public money to
FEED its partisans.- Washington Republic,

We see that number of the papers in the
interior are opposed to the military encampment
which is to come off in September at Williams
port. They say he location is not only un-
healthy, but it will cost the State over $780,
/ 600. Several of our contemporaries suggest q
postponement Of the affair until next year. In
the present depressed state Of business, we
think the suggestion a good one.-Er.
The suggestion is eminently proper. No
satisfactory reason can be assigned for the ex-
pendture of 100000 at the expense Of the
State, without the hope of adequate compensate
ing benefits

'.lou will kindly allow me to correct very
gross error into which you have fallen. You
assert that, for upwsrds Of fifty years, the Ga
Setfe has been the unlring advoc lie of Demo-
cratic principles The Gazette never was the
advocate of Democratic principles until few
months before ii passed into my hands. Prior
to tLat time, It was, to the fullest extent, an
organ of the Federal Party CHAs McDoW-
ELL, Esq, who established the paper, never
made any profession Of Democracy until GEN
JACKSON vetoed that Monster, the Bank of the
United States, on which occasion be ob1adoa-
Ell his former party and its odious principles,
and commenced battling manfuly for jackson
and Democracy, This was the condition in
which / found the Gazette at the time pur-
chased aud it is highly important that this fact
should be kept fairly before the people, in or
der that Democrats may not be mislod' Let
ter Of G. ". Bolgmqn, in last Gqzette
This is tissue Of falsehood from beginning
10 end. 1t is true that the G1zettc was Fed
eral paper under Mcdowell, and it is equally
true that il vas 50 under Bowman There are
men now living in Bedford, whom we could
name, that Mr.. Mcdowell, short time before
his decease, told that he was then what he had
always beer, Federalist: and that he had
never changed bis politics. Bosnian, iD hi,
very frat number, told his readers that the pol
tiles Of the paper, under his control, ooutd mol
be changed. They were not changed, and be
supported the same principles the Federal par
ty always did, whilst the IaqurY always, as it
does now, supported the principles Of the Ole
Democratic party. Bowman came to this town
a Federalist, and be served his apprenticeship
in Federal printing Office in Virginia. The
people shoald not be deceived by the lying
statements Of political rcProbatc like Bow
man, and they know him too well to be.

himself to lying aud calling names, like very
drab, and if be dill not also make "snoots,' we

put them at 100000 The interest 90 the

THE BEAUTIFUL LAND.

THE BEAUTIFUL LAND.
BY BARRY CORNWALL.
There is land immortal,
The beautiful of lands;
Besides the ancient portal
A sentry grimly stands.
He only can undo it.,
And open wide the door;
And mortals who pass through it,
Are mortals never more.
That glorious land is heaven,
And death the sentry grim
The Lord therefore has given
The opening keys to him.
And ransom'd spirits signing
And sorrowing for sin,
Do pass the gate in dying,
And freely enter in.
Though dark and drear the passage,
That leadeth to the gate,
Yet grace comes with the message,
To souls that watch and wait;
And at the time appointed,
A messenger comes down,
And leads the Lords anointed
From the cross to glory's crown.
Their sighs are lost in singing,
They're blessed in their tears,
Their journey homeward winging,
They leave to earth their fears.
Death like an angel seemeth;
1--WE welcome thee" they cry;
Their face with glory beameth-
'Tis life for them to die.
