OUR TICKET.

The Convention of the Union party called
by the Union County Committee, assembled
in this place on last Tuesday, the 27th inst.
and placed in nomination a ticket to be
voted for, by the Union men, at the coming
October election The Convention was
composed of the best material in the county,
and the ticket nominated by them was in
strict harmony with the order of men who
composed the Convention. Never in the
history of the Union party has there been
presented to the citizens of Bedford county;
a ticket so uniformly capable of discharging
the duties of the various Offices for which
they are respectively nominated The
ticket presented by the Union County Con
vention is composed of men who are leading
business men in their respective localities.
The Convention again presented D. B.
ARMSTRONG, ESD, for the Legislature, sub
ject to the decision of the Legislative Con
ference. MIR. Armstrong is an old soldier,
who served three years in the sth Regiment
of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps He
served us creditably in the last House of
Representatives and it viii be no more than
an act of justice to return him.
JOHN T. KEAGY was nominated for Dis
triet Attorney. Mr. Keagy is a young law
yer who graduated in the cfice of His Hon.
or, Judge King At the breaking out Of
the rebellion he entered the service and was
severely wounded at Fair Oaks.
Capt. ADAM WEAvERLING received the
2 nomination for Associate Judge, and Capt.
SIMON DIoKERHooF, for Treasurer. These
gentlemen have both seen very severe ser
vice and have made for themselves record
which viii ever be spoken of with pride by
the citizens of this county.
DANIEL SANS, received the nomination
for County Surveyor, WILLIAM KIRK, for
Jury Commissioner; HENRY j. BRUNER,
for County Commissioner; JoHE s. HET-
RICK and LEONARD BITTNER, for Poor Di-
rectors; JAMES ALLISON, for Auditor, and
Capt. AMOS RoBINETT, for Coroner. Never
were better men presented for the sufrages
of the people for offices of the same grade.
DIX out OF the eleven nominations were Civ
en- to men who have proved themselves wor-
thy on many l.aru Iougnr neIus, OF the con-
fdenee of the people Now, friends, let us
60 tc work manfully and elect them; let us
end the reign of Copperheadism in Bedford
county. The time has come, when the men
who have no more patriotism than to sym
pathize with the enemies of our flag should
be hurled from every position of confidence
in the country. Friends, 60 to work, the
campaign has commenced.

ERRATUSI.

The compositors in the article on export
duties IN our last weeks issue, makes us
(. to say:
We annually buy millions of dollars
worth of manufactured cotton goods from
England and pay the bulky and perishahIe
productions of the farm, instead Of sendinp
them to foreign markets where the cost of
transportation is almost equal to their
value.
In this shape the sentence is simply un-
intelligible. Itwas written, and should have
beed printed thus: We annually buy mil
lions Of dollars worth of manufactured cot
ton goods from England, and pay for them
in gold, to the great detriment of our inter
Vi nal commerce and home industry, which we
ought to manufacture at home, and thereby,
while keeping cur gold at home, also create
remunerative home market for the bulky
and perishable productions of the farm, in
stead OF sending them 10 foreign markets
le where the cost of transportation is almost
equal to their value. "

THE AssAssINATI0N TRIALS.

The following remarks, from the Journal
Of Commerce show very clearly where the
shoe pinches:;
The trial presents picture which viii
be by no means honorable to us in history.
There Is no pretense, that we know of, on
the part of the Court or the Judge Advocate,
or any one else, that large mass of the eY-
idence given has anything to do with the
cases of the accused. The civilized world
viii look with surprise end regret on the
strange spectacle presented by this Court OF
Commission, assuming jurisdiction to try
men and women for capital ofienses, where
the civil courts are in full power, and after
assuming this jurisdiction proceeding to
heap up mass of testimony designed sole
" to reach the public mind, and utterly
without reference to the question of guilt or
innocence of any of the prisoners
We may be pardoned, in view OF such 9
scene, for entering once more ON our record
a plea in behalf Of dae process OF law. it is
the grand fortifcatien of life, property and
reputation.
Without discussing the merits of the case
it is very much exercised on account Of oar
honor. Now we have not the least fear for
the honor of the country, but If 1t Is the
honor Of the rebel leaders and those who
sympathise with them, the Journal included,
then its fears are indeed weIl founded. The
evidence is entirely too searching for the
very acute and sensitive organization of the
Journal 1t would rather that some mate
rial evidence should be passed by than that
SO much should appear that is, not somuch,
irrevelant to the case, as, damaging to our
honor For our own part we are satisfied
that nothing has occurred since the breaking
out of the rebellion so wen calculated to set
the country in its proper light before the
world, and to show its leaders and their
sympathizers in their true position as band
of felons. IF the case of the New York
had been half as thoroughly investi
gated we have no doubt there would have
been quite lusty crying out for oatr honor,
not only BY the Journal Of Commerce, but
also, by quite number of Journals of like
procliyities. Though our honor might have
suffered considerably, it would have all been
for the good of the country, just as in the
present case. We have no doubt the DAILY
Ne,rs also feels ike crying out for our honor
Just now. Has the Journal had hand in
the $25, 900 along with Ben Wood?

Mn CAREy's REpry.

PHILADELPHIA, June 8, 1S65.-George
Francis Train, Esq, New Y York-Dear sir
Yours of the Both being misdirected, spent
several days on the road, and is only now
received
There is no real difficulty about the Tariff
question, except that which results from the
unwilingness of the parties interested to
help themselves. For three years | have
been urging them to do this, but it is only
recently that they have been induced to be-
gin to talk about doing something, When
they will begin to do something, | cannot
venture to predict.
Sir months since they held a convention
here, and passed some resolutions
good, but very useless Three months since
they held another at Pittsburgh, at which
they adopted second set of resolutions,
and there the matter stopped They have
adopted another set at Chicago; and Sarato-
GA will now give us the fourth, to be followed
by nth at Cleveland.
IF work were to be accomplished by means
of bic words, they would now be near the
attainment of their views. My experience,
however, is opposed to this idea. So far as
| have seen, it requires time, mind, and
means. and none of these are they willing
glNes Nnlle luci OppObSnto give Ut ~ dtcHt
Bricks cannot be made without straw.
Twenty years Of my life have been given
to the work, and it would REQUIRE more thb3aEs hbas
cost me- me zee il tbs. gonees es enS sfI' ali INV
means would have been given to it had they
not themselves deprived me of the power to
| free them. My rights have been trampled
upon, my property has been deprecated,
and my means Of living impaired, and all
of this has been done by men who have ac-
cumulated millions by aid of tariff for
which they have been indebted to me.
They have thus compelled me to give to
the work ofprotecting myself against them al
the time, mind and means that would so
gladly have been given to protecting them
against their enemies The system under
which | have suffered still continues, and
while it shall do so | have no power to rem
der them the aid of whcih they stand in
so much need
Hoping that you may have better fortune
| remain, with great regard, yours very
truly, HENRY G. CAREY.

ALEXANDER I'll. STEPHENS IN l859.-The
Vice President of the late rebel Confede-
racy, When member of Congress, was distin-
guished above others for what Joshua r..
Giddings used 10 call plantation manners. =
Despite his professed Union sentiments. he
wasfit to succeed j ohm Randolph in the prae-
tiee of insulting the people of the free states
he always seemed to feel that he owned
slaves, and had right therefore to be abu-
sive to those who did not.
This character OF the man is fully exem-
plifed in a speech made by him in the
House of Representatives during the session
Of 1889 Thefollowing passage is a sample:
Gentlemen: You make good deal of
clamor, but it don't a. rm us at all. We
have got used to that kind of talk. You
have threatened before, but Won have neyc-
performed. You have always caYed in, and
you will do it again. You are a mouthing,
white.hvered set. We don't care for your
opposition. 1ou rail, but we are used to your
raIing. You hiss, but so do adders. We
expect 1t OF adders and we expect it of you.
You are like the devils that were pitched
over the battlements of Heaven into Hell.
They set up howl at their discontinue,
and so will YOU. You must submit to the
yoke, so don't chafe.
'Gentlemen, wehave got you in our power.
4ou have tried to drive us to the wall, but
things are changed In 1850 you were i'm
perious and grasping, and wanted to take all
the territory north of 36 30. Now you will
lose all. You went avoiding and YOU have
come home aeeced Don't be so inpudent
as to complain; you viii only be slapped in
the face. Don't resist; you viii only be
lashed into obedience. Your legislatures Of
New York, OF Rhode Island, of Massa-
and your northern divines. our
opponents everywhere, are merely adders.
whose vocation it is to hiss; they are simply
howllyg devils who shall be sent to hell

MCCLELLAN STRATEGY. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Delaware County
4411er7can gives this pleasant paragraph:
| have before me the annual reports ofthe
Rebel Secretary of War from the beginning
OF the rebellion to the close Of 1868. In
looking it over was struck by the report of
operations at Manassas. You remember
how Mcclellan dilly -dallied and would not
move upon this place until he had enough
of men to reach from Washington to that
place, and then how he travelled snaiI's
pace, and only showed determination to
possess it after he found it had been evacua-
ted. Well Gen'l Trimble in his report saws
that he occupied and held that place Nth
four hundred men, till he saw us coming
when he evacuated the place. This was the
army with wooden cannon that held us at
bay till the whole South was organized. and
on military footing. The reports are very
full, and appear as impartial as those pub
lished by our Secretary of War. The bin
ding is indicative of things in Dixie, for it is

scarce to use upon the backs Of public docu-
ments
