ties; who IL 1861, at the first call of his
country, Democrat as he was, rushed to the
protection OF the cid flag and triumphantly
followed it until the rebel hordes yielded to
the mastery strategy of the world greatest
living warrior, U. s. Grant while his ep-
ponent Col W W. H. Davis, disgusted
with the war after year or two 5 service, re
turned to his home to edit Copperhead
paper, in opposition to the administration.
If you desire to rid out the Surveyor
General Office, and to place it in the hands
of a noble and patriotic son of the old Key
stone, vote for Col. JACOB NJ. CAMP
BELL, a working man, first in the field,
aud ever ready with sword and purse to de-
fend his country, who at the first call for
troops in 1861, promptly rendered his ser
vices as private to fight our battles, and
not only this, when demand for funds was
made, he loaned the government THIRTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS to prosecute the
war, and now since his opponent has been
nominated, the Copperheads are endeavor-
ing to appropriate all his honors to their can
didate.
If you desire to maintain the healthy ad-
ministration of affairs at Harrisburg, which
in the last year paid in the neighborhood of
a million dollars of the State debt, vote for
Lieut.. d. B. ARMSTRONG and MOSES
A. ROSS. Lieut. Armstrong, who is our
immediate representative, served his coun-
try for three long years in the sth Regiment
of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, while
his immediate opponent remained at home,
encouraged deseTtion and cursed the gov
ernment.
If you desire to ell the District Attorney $
Office of Bedford county with man who
comes UP to the Jefferson standard of hon
est and capable, who viii do his duty re-
gardless of political prejudices, vote for
JOHN L. KEAGY, Esq, who enlisted in
the service of his country as private, and
followed the fortunes of the army of the Po-
tomac TO Fair Oaks, where he was badly
wounded in the leg. Surgeon after Surgeon
advised amputation, but this gallant young
man refused permission, stating that he
would sooner die than lose his limb. Time
wore on, and young Keagy returned to his
friends from the jaws of death; while he was
thus pouring out his patriotic blood in de-
Tense of our Institutions. his opponent was
at home advocating the cause of our enemies,
preaching compromise and separation.
If you desire to dispense untramelled JUS
tice, free from the contaminating influence
of Bedford county Copperheadism, vote for
Captain ADAM WEAVERLING another
patriot, who has served his country faith
fully, and whose character for piety and in
tegrity is far. far above reproach. Against
his opponent who entered the service and
conducted himself properly enough, for all
we know, we have nothing to say, only adding
that the man who can thus eat his own rec
ord deserves to be beaten, as he viii be.
Ryou desire to entrust the Treasury of
Bedford county in the hands of an honest,
upright and intelligent officer, vote for Capt.
SIMON DfCKERH0OF, whose record as

page in history. While he was leading his
men to victory his antagonist was at home
plying all his cunning to avoid the draft.
