The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1859-07-29
TO THE PATRONS OF THE GAZETTE.

BY reference TO the preceding article, II will
be seen that the undersigned has become the
sole editor and proprietor Of this journal
Whilst change has thus been made IN the
proprietorshiP OF the 'Gazete," it is hardly
necessary TO inform The reader, that in lis
During the past two years Of my editorshiP,
have endeavored by every honogahle rneaez- N
great national party under whose watchful and
faithful guidance our country has reached lis
presen: condition of prosperity and glory. So
long as that party Is worthy of the name of
Democracy-so long as it remains the advocate
Of equal rights to all citizens, without distnc-
lion of birth or of religion-so long, in brief.
as the Democracy is the party OF the Constitu-
ton and the Union, pledge myself to follow
wherever its flag shall lead. In every struggle
between sectionalsm and na,ionality-in every
effort to bring about the Gismemberment Of the
Republic-the "Gazette" will continue TO do
battle, as of old, on the side of conservatism
and the integrity OF the nation. Steering clear
of the "malignant reforms that like mushrooms,
are daily springing up in society and IN politics,
stunning likewise that stagnant and stupid con-
servatsm which binds governments and people
TO effete systems and rotten conventionaties,
| will endeavol TO be liberal on all subjects.
"nothing extenuating, nor setting down aught
in malice" But 1t is not my purpose 10 lay
down platform on which to plant my editorial
tripod. Deeds are better than words, and by
my deeds am willing to be judged. Suffice
it to say that my duty TO the part, will be
fearessly aud zealously discharged, and il my
duty to humanity remain unfulflled, il will be
"an error Of the head and not OF the heart"
To those who have hitherto supported me,
PecunIarily or otherwise, and especially TO
The Democracy of Bedford county, return nv
hearty thanks. | shall endeavor 10 deserve
their good will in the future, and respectfully
solicit continuance of their patronage
Hoping that the arrangement thus announced
will prove satisfactory to all concerned, I beg
leave TO subscribe myself, the public's humble
servant, B. f. MEYERS.
10 The Opposition, whose doctrines, if they
were incorporated into the policy OF the gov
ernment, would be like milestone round the
neck of foreign born citizens, have lately made
a great ado about the rights OF those citi-
zens. These blatant hypocriies are wonderful
friends of the foreigner, so far as talking goes,
but when it comes to acting, where do we find
them In the dens Of Know .Nothing-ism,
eonspiring against tie rights Of those citizens;
in The streets Of Baltimore, Louisville and
0FeD Orleans, shooting dO0n voters of foreign
birth! The Democracy guarantee whilst the !
relns of government are in their hands, equal |
protection to all classes Of citizens, without |
Distinction Of birth. Even now the Presiden,
and his Cabinet are demanding the liberation
ola naturalzed citizen,s native of Hanover,
who, whilst on a visit TO hrs native land, was
forced into the army against bis will. Citizens
Of foreign birth ye know your friends See
that Tou are not deceived by your enemies.
