Bedford inquirer. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1857-1884, 1861-09-13

We understand that this was as fine looking
body Of mel as has left our County.
Also, last week, Capt. Weavering. of West
Providence, left for Harrisburg with some 80
men-all fine, noble looking fellows.
This makes three companies and one part of
company now in the service from this County
There also many from this County in the
regiment at Cumberland, and in companies from
Cambria, Blair, &c. We have at least four
hundred men in the service. Bedford County
is now dong her duty manfully. There are
also other companies fcrming-one in Napier
and SOhelIshurg, by Capt Geo. S. Mullin, now
numbering some sixty. Capt. Ryce's cons
pauy in this place, is fast filing up, and Capt
Thos Fl. Lyons is recognizing the Bedford
Rifenen for the service of their country.
JOHN PALMER, Esq, made short speech
at the Democratic meeting last week. He
took strong grounds in favor Of peace and
compromise with traitors With arms in their
| hands. lie said be "hated secessionst, bu,
he hated a Republican, more" The last may
be true, but We do bot believe be hates Sc,
cessionist, for in all bis conversations he takes
sides with the Southern traitors, and associ,
ates nearly entirely with the sympathisers
/ with treason. He has gohe so far already as
to say, that ''if the worst came to the worst, i,
he you'd nevsr take up arms IN this contest 20
We are sorry that young man like him should
| take the stand he does in this great crisis
lie will regret it all the days of his life.
|
We are happy TO say that our young friends,
Capt Thomas H. Lyons, and Lieut. S. S.
Melzgar, have been commissioned by the Gov
ernor to re-organizs the Bedford Riaemen i'm
medlately, for the purpose of going into the
U. ). Service. Toe respeotability of this
company is we'll known in our community, and
we hope that all that can will non embrace
this opportunity by signing their roll and fl4
ing up the company ut once.

In Huntingdon, which is strong RepubIi-
can County, both parties met and nominated
Union ticket. John Scott, Democratic can
didate for Senator in this district, last fall, is
the candidate for Legislature.
In franklin, also a Republican County, the
patriotic men Of all parties have nominated
Union ticket. This course is right, and we
are sorry that party everywhere for the time
being, could not be thrown aside for the good
of our country.
OHIo.-ln Ohio the people have met aud
placed IN nomination State ticket composed
Of good men of both parties. Although the
Republicans are largely in the majority there,
| they gave the Democrats the candidate for
Governor, taking the candidate for Lieut..
| Governor for themselves

The Democratic meeting last week, Ieadopt-
cd the reasonable platform ON which their
county ticket was nominated
The Resolutions of last week are also very
Objectionable to a sincere lover of his country.
When it is known that the views in regard TO
the war, held by number of their candidates,
are very doubtful, we do not see how patriot
can vote for the Democratic county ticket.
QUERY.-Isit it, or is 1t not a significant fact,
that the individual who was the most enthusi.
| astlc IN cheering SOEae of the speakers at the
meeting gotten up on Monday night of
Court Week, to couDteraet the effects of the
call for union meeting, went out of town af-
ter the meeting was over, hurrahing ''for JEFF.
Davis and the Southern Gonfederacy"?
