A. Fl, Cofroth, Eso,

This gentleman has been nominated bv the
Congressional Conference, as the Democratic
candidate for Congress.
Mr.. Coffroth always has been, and still is one
of the firm, unfinching Democrats of the coun-
ty. He has always nobly stood up for the men
and principles of the party; always opposed
coalition with other parties, whose doctrines
were considered heresies and invariably stood
by the platform of the party. He is one of our
self-made men, having nothing but his native
talent and his character for integrity, COM
bined with strong energy to help him along.
He was, in his earliest manhood the editor of
the Democratic journal of the county, and earn
ed for himself an honorable position among the
editorial fraternity. Mr.. Cofroth is so we'll
known in this county, that we can say nothing
to add to his high standing. He is deserving Of
the vote of all the Democrats and conservative
men, and we appeal to our Democratic brethren,
to give him every vote in the party. Remem-
Der, he is one of those that stood by the pcrtv,
when in this county, it was charged as treason,
to stand by the great old Constitutional party;
one of those who resolved that the Democratic
party should not die, as long as we had u Union
aud Constitution to defend.

Mcpherson and the War,

We call upon all men who desire to see our
armies victorious and the war brought to an
early and successful termination, to vote against
Edward MCPHERSON, the Abolition candidate
for Congress in this district. Mcpherson voted
for the Abolition of slavery in the District of
Columbia, for the Confscation. Act, and for the
other ultra enactments of the late Congress
which drove thousands of Southern men into
the Rebel army, and united the people of the
seeded states as one man against the Govern
ment. From the date of the passage of those
unfortunate laws, we can reckon the long cate.
CORY Of our military disasters. Prior to those
enactments and whilst the Crittenden resolution
was yet in force, we had victory after victory,
and rebeldom had lost more than half its terri
tory. But what is the story since the adoption
by Congress of ultra measures9 Defeat, disgrace,
disaster make up the sad and shameful record
With this practical lesson before them, can the
people trust their best interests any longer in
'he hands OF radicals and fanaticsf We, who

General Oohroth,

We think the Democracy of this Congression-
al district have reason to congratulate themselves
on the nomination of General A. H. Coffrotb.
of Somerset, as their candidate for Congress
Though comparatively young man, he has
been recognized for number of years among
the leaders of the Somerset bar, which has been
long distinguished for the ability of its members
Indeed there is no spot in the State which has
furnished the State, and the nation more talent
in proportion to its population than Somerset
county. The position of Gen. Coffroth at home.
and the fact that he is recognized as the leader
OF the Democracy there, is sufficient evidence
of his capacity and fitness to fill the position
for which he has been nominated. Could Gen.
Coffroth be sent to represent this district at
Washington, it would do much toward check
ing the fanatical and ruinous course which has
been persisted in by the Republican majority in
the present Congress. The Abolitirnism of that
body has done much toward completing tbe r,,
in of our once happy country. OF all the acts
passed by them, scarcely single one can be
called wise or judicious. BY them the Soutb
has been made unit, and the North divided
and distracted, and to them is chiefly owing the
i'll success of our arms. The blood of many
thousands of brave men, whose lives MIGHT have
been saved, calls from the ground against them.
Their course has lent ten-fold atrocity to the ex
isting war, and indefinitely delayed the Cherish
ed hope of friends for the Union. The people
must turn out every man of them, who has iden-
titled himself with the mad schemes of the ultra
Abolitionists. Among them is Edward Nc.
Pherson, who has been little else than an echo
of the voice of old Thad. Ssevens-a man who
carries his love for the negro so far as to have
illustrated it for years by practical amalgama-
ton. Every vote of Mr.. Mcpherson was with
the radicals, and against the conservative men
of his own party; his name and the name of
Stevens stood side by side all the time. Wedo
not see how any conservative Republican can
vote for him, and we are sure many will refuse
to do so. Let the masses who are opposed to
Abolitionism rally to the support of General
Coffroth, who, while in favor of a vigorous
prosecution of war, insists that it shall be car
ried on for the single great purpose of resto-
ring the Union as it was, under the Constitu-
ton which forms the basis of all our liberties.
Until the halls of Congress are filled with a DIFF
ferent style of men from those now holding seats,
we see no hope of a restoration of the Union
the only prospect before us, under the present
rule, being desolating strife, the end of which
no man can see.- Fulton Democrat.

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 16, 1856:

To the Editor Of tile Bedford Gasette:
SIR:-I have been in the Loyal Army of the
Great Repu bic, since November 18, 1861, and
and would like, now, to write a short account
of my travels, &c. enlisted at Schellsbure,
in the 10lst Regt., Pa. Vols, Company G, un-
der Captain w. B. Spray. We left Schellsburg
on the 9th of November, 1861, and proceeded
from thence to Harrisburg, Pa, where we cam
ped till Feb. 9th when we left Harrisburg for
Washington, and the seat of war; afterwards
we were ordered to the loyal armies in Virginia.
The first engagement | was in, was at Will
iamsburg, on the 4th day of May, but our
regiment acting as a reserve, we suffered little
or no loss, upon this occasion-Shortly after
this we were ordered to full back to the James
river, which no doubt many of your readers
are aware was accomplished by the whole army
under the able direction of our well known and
excellent leader, G.. b. Mcclellan. After we
arrived at james river, my afiction being SO
great that could not stand the hardships which
necessarily befall soldiers, was sent with many
others to the Hospital at Washington City, and
after remaining there about two months, was
removed to the hospital now write from. I
have to regret that shall not be able again to
JOIN my OLD company, pelhS greatly alnlcteu
with rheumatism, which makes me a perfect
cripple at certain times. OF the hospital am
now in, DR.. S. w. Curry is the Medical Officer
in charge, who is ever in attendance to sooth
the pains of the afflicted The nurses, Mr. j.
A. Carter and Mr.. John Dunn both of Balti-

my remarks to close, and hope have not tres

PENNSYLVANIA MnITIA.-We regret to have
to state that some portion of the Pennsylvania
militia assembled recently for the defense of their
State, object to marching into Maryland to de-
fend Pennsylvania there from invasion. No Of
fcial information of the fact has reached here,
we apprehend, though it is doubtless true. 1t
cannot be possible that storm of public opin-
ion at home will fail to cure the recreants of
such shameless poltroonery in twenty-four hours
Washington Star.
'Ingratitude, thou marble-hearted fiend!" ex-
claimed the poet, and Pennsylvanians may ap-

the cowardly maligner who is the author of the
above. Pennsylvania soldiers twice saved the
Capitol whilst this miserable defamer sat scrawl-
ing his diatribes in his easy chair, within the
confines of the beleaguered city. Pennsylvania
has sent 100000 volunteers for Tie suppression
OF the rebellion, and to-day is ready to yield
without murmur TO the call of the President
TOR moro men. And for all this, the thanks we
Pennsylvanians get, from such war papers as
The Star, are curses when we choose to do no
more than our commander-in-chief. the Cover
nors requires Of us. Shame! Shame that anv
