A BootIass Business.

As an instance of the bribery and cor
ruption practised by the Abolition wire
pullers at the late election, friend in ST..
Clair township, desires us to state that the
Abolition candidate for Assembly gave GER
tain person in that township, pair Of new
boots to obtain his vote for the Abolition
ticket. The voter who was thus tempted,
took the pair Of boots and voted the Demo-
cratic ticket. Truly this was a dootless
business for Mr.. Trout. He had better
kept his boots and worn them himself, he
might have run better.

Mr.. EDIToR
notice an attempted denial in the Inquirer
of last week of my statement concerning tho
Shoddy Uniforms in the three nionths Service.
This denial is Signed X. T. don't know what
that Stands for, unless it is the whole Abolition
Crew and | would like for the author to sign his
right name to it, but am confident that he is
nobody but liar, coward and a woolly ly-headed
Abolitionist or he would have signed his name.
dare the cowardly scoundrel to come out and
give his name. As to the Pennsylvania troops
going on dress parade at Wiiliamsport, Md, if X.
Y. had not been q coward, he might have been
there and seen it. He stated that didn't belong
to one party three years in succession. Well,
how can man belong to party three years in
succession wheu that party doesn't live thatlong,
but is succeeded by new party every year or
two. never voted the Democrat ticket till this
fall, intend voting it hereafter. have follow
ed the party formerly belongedto, till it became
aboltionized, and am ''off' now and forever
hereafter.
Y. Y. saysI came home from the three months
service with much better suit than ever he saw
me wear AS hecalls Kentucky Jean good
cloth, he must have worn blue drilling all his life
x. Y. puts me down as Il Copperhead because
am in favor of G. w. Woodward If am
Copperhead have been in service and done my
dug as Soldier for our country, but am no
woolly headed Abolitonst like my neighbor,
Y Y. who has been staying AT home like all loud
talking towards; such men as ne will soon put
down this rebellion. Whenever Government
sends them a ticket, they 60 lmping along, and
if not exempted, they pay their money and 60
home to talk about men that have been in SER
vice. Such is Abolition practice. X. Y. will
please come out in the next weeks Inquirer over
his own proper name dare him to do so.
Yours truly, JACOB KEGG,

P.S. Mr.. Inquirer also charges me with be-
ing deserter from the army. lsay it is a false
hood He made a mistake. am deserter from
the Abolition party. He stated that | came
home SONIC months ago on sick leave and had
my time extended. If am too sick, am not

The Result in the State.

We had hoped to be able to give our read
ers!the exact vote of the State, but at the
present writing we are unable to state what
it is. Our own opinion, from such returns
as we have seen, is that Curtin is reelected
by from 10000 to $4,000. That Judge
Woodward received majority of the legal
votes of the State, admits of no reasonable
doubt. Immense frauds were committed in
Allegheny, Philadelphia and other counties.
The vote of Allegheny is to be received un-
der protest. Notwithstanding these frauds
and the freeus Of Government money and
patronage, the Democracy have gained up
wards of 10000 votes since the last CUB.
crnatorial election. This is truly encourag-
ing, and we have no doubt that by next
year we will have such a solid majority as
cannot be overcome by fraud and corruption
or all the arts combined of the wicked men in
power. BY that time the traitors who
stabbed us in the dark at the late election,
will have been sent ''across the lines' to
the enemy, in whose tanks they can do us
no harm, and thus purified, every vote
gained from our opponents will be clear gain,
thus united, harmonized and solidifed, We
shall make campaign that will be irresis-
tble. Therefore, let Democrats be up and
doing. Now is the time to work. Toim-
prove ON the lines of the poet, let us
Fear no future howe'er gloomy,
'Let the dead Past bury its dead,
Act, act in the living Present.

Cleaned Out.

Not single Abolitionist remains in Office
in Bedford county. The people have ''clean-
ed out" the Offices recently filed by Gov.
Curtin's appointees and have placed men Of
their own choice in their stead. We now
have Democratic Prothonotary, Sheriff,
Associate Judges, Board Of Commissioners,
Poor Directors and Auditors. The Aboli-
tion Jacobins commenced the game of pro-
scription in this county and now ''their
chickens have come home to roost."

A Verdict.

The Abolition Inquirer and the clique which
controls it, nay, every dog in the Jacobin ken
nel-Tray, Blanche and Sweethoart-mongrcl,
puppy, whelp and hound cur and terrier, bull
and poodle--were let loose on us during the late
campaign, for the purpose of comprising our
defeat as the Democratic nominee for Repre-
sentative, The foulest abuse the mcanest rib
aldry, the darkest, basest tricks, were rosorted
to by our Abolition enemies 1--WE can't call them
opponents) to accomplish their darling purpose
Besides, at every poll in the county, they had
men posted whose special business it was to in
duce some timid, good-natured Democrat to
scratch our name off his ticket. How utterly
they failed in this, the returns which we publish
to-day fully exhibit. Especially do we refer
with pride to the endorsement which we receiv-
ed in Bedford borough and township, where we
and our sanderers are equally well known.
This district gave Woodward 112 votes over
Curtin, whilst our majority is III, showing that
even a number of men in the Inquirer's own
party, were disguised with its scurrility and
meanness.
| Tho same kind of effort was also made a.
sainst Capt. Aldstadt, Maj. Davis and MIR.
Shannon. In this borough Woodward was bea-
ten one vote, whilst Capt. Aldstadt had ma
jority; so much for the Inquuer's Barnburuer
stories: Maj. Davis tied his opponent, leading
Woodward one vote so much for the influence Of
political preachers: and as for Mr.. Shannon,
he had 20 majority; SO much for that great n
| do about Mr. S. pointing his gun North."-
The verdict of the people of this neighborhood
who know the men who composed the Demo-
ocratic ticket we'll their slanderers, is there.
fore, that the Bedford Inquirer and those who
assisted its attacks upon the Democratic nemi-
nees, are guilty Of fasehood and unworthy of
the confidence of the public.

CONNECTICUT ELECTION. few days ago tho
telegraph gave us the first intimation of the
Connecticut elections Three or four towns
were announced as carried by the Abolitionists,
or Republicans, or Unionists, or whatever the
hybrids now call themselves. Suddenly the
telegraph became silent. 1t announced no more
results.
1t turns out that the Democrats have carried
a large majority of the towns. Even the 2il-
bune says "the Copperheads have come out
pretty strong'' While the New Haven Register
and Hartford Times claim Democratic victory
in the State.
The former paper published list Of ll5
towns, of which the Democrats carry 62 and
their opponents only 52-and the Register points
to it as showing ''that the conservative and
Democratic element is growing in strength and
earnestness in Connecticut, and that many who
have heretofore sustained the Republican party,
will follow its fortunes no longer, in its down.
ward path to despotism and ruin"
Last year the Republicans claimed majority
of IL towns. Conceding that, the result shows
a net Democratic gain of about 20 tpwne

From the Pittsburg Post Oct. IA.
The Result Yesterday.

The election yesterday in the cities Of Pitts
burg and Allegheny, and throughout the county,
80 far as we heard from it, was one which will
be remembered by the Democrats who partici-
pated in it as long as they live. We have heard
of outrages upon the sacred right of suffrage,
but never, until yesterday, did we know the ex-
tent to which reckless partzan oppression was
capable Of going. Men, having an indisputable
right 10 vote Were prevented from doing so,
while fellows, who never knew what a tax.receipt
was, walked boldly to the polls aud were receiv-
ell by leading Abolitionists with open arms.
Money was scattered about in profusion, tempt
ting the needy and encouraging the reckless, in
short there was no appliance which money and
desperation could command that was not array
ed against US in yesterdays contest. The con.
sequence is, of course, that we are beaten be-
yond our expectations And no wonder. In
addition to the powerful influence of money we
had to contend against camps of soldiers, hsv-
ing no right to vote in this county, but who of
course went almost unanimously for CURTIN.
At this writing we can not form an estimate
of the majority against us in the county; judg-
ing from what returns we have in, however, 1t
is unusually large. In relation to The result in
the State we can form no idea; but Judging
from the extensive and extravagant reports of
our opponents, we should judge that they had
swept the State by large majority. But as
is generally the case the official returns will
doubtless reduce their majorities.
In conclusion, if the Abolitionists have beat
en- us. we will submit to our defeat with the
hest grace in the world, with the pleasing refec-
ton that if they can stand the further oppres-
sion of the General and State Governments 80
can the Democracy.

The Election.

Last years experience had taught US that no
dependence could be placed upon the first reports
of Tuesdays election, so that, although we had
no wish to excite our friends by delusiye hopes,
we were not willing to concede that we were de-
feated until some better evidence was furnished
than the imperfect returns given us on Tuesday
and Wednesday. But the figures which we pub
lish this morning show thai our gains in the
country have not been sufficient to overcome the
vote Of Philadelphia and Allegheny, and that
:he State has gone for Governor CURTIN. How
this result has been attained is very we'll under
stood by the people Nothing is more certain
than that if fair election had been held, Judge
Woodward would have been successful; but, in
Inundated by the rcsolute stand taken by the
Democratic party at the outset of the campaign,
the Administration resolved to effect their object
by fraud. Accordingly, fifteen or twenty thous-
and CURTIN men were sorted out of the army
and sent home, manufacturers were visited by
an agent of the Departments and directed to
use their influence with their operatives and
voters were everywhere purchased like sheep in
the shambles. But even with al these odds a.
gainst us, we have every reason to believe that
more Democratic than Republican votes were
polled on Tuesday last. In this city tho aggra-
gate was larger than that OF 1850, ana Trough
out the State it viii be found tia. we lave gained
very largely on the vote of last year but in
many localities our election ciiicors were openly
bought up, and in every district more or less
fraud was doubtless committed. Having con-
troll of the telegraph, it was an easy matter for
our opponents to ascertain where and how much
to cheat in order to manufacture the necessary
majoritles, and that they did this the facts in
our possession forbid us to doubt We do, there
forc, deliberately assert it as our conviction that
not only did tine friends of Governor CURTIN
employ corrupt and dishonest meansin obtaining
voters, but we further say that from the evidence
before us we are fully convinced that after the
polls were closed they Systematically falsifed
the returns. Hence 1t is that little else than
vague and contradictory rumors have been al
lowed to come over the wires, up to the present
time, though there was no reason why the vote
of half the counties in the State should not have
been known on Wednesday morning. These
Charges, we are well aware, are Of very seri-
ons and sweeping character, but they are not
made hastily or without good reason.-Agc.

Look OUT FOR CoUNrERFEIrsl not only Of
bank bills, but of everything truly valuable. We
understand that even the indispensable articles
known as ''Family Dye Colors" are not an ex-
ception to this rule. The limitations, like all
counterfeits, are utterly worthless. Remember
that Howe & Stevens Family Dye Colors are
the original, the only valuable and useful thing
of the kind.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1863-10-16

cyIt is estimated that at least 10000 SOL
diers were sent into this State pledged to vote
for Curtin. Had these remained at their posts,
or had an equal number of Democrats been per-
mitted TO return home, Curtin, notwithstanding
all the other frauds perpetrated by his party,
would have been in minority of about 1000
votes.
