The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1866-04-20

mand they have repudiated their war
debt, to do which required them to sac
rifice their public honor. Yet, to-day
the Bedford Inquirer, in common with
almost every other Abolition paper in
the State, cries out against the restora-
tion of tlDse States to their places in
the Union; to-day the Bedford Inquirer
holds that those States are O1H Of the
Union, that secession took them Out Of
the Onion, that, therefore, the Union ar
nay lcds not successful IN preventing them
from going ont Of the Union. To-day
the Bedford Inquirer regards the Union
as composed of but t,ceaty,fre States
and every man who believes its doc
trines, must also believe that Secession
was successful; for, if it was not, how
could eleten Of the Mjrty-Sir States now
be out of the Union? This is Disun-
ionism, Thoroughbred, full-blOoded
unadulterated DisuniOnism. 1t is the
bursting forth into new and more Wig
Orous life, of the old New England
plant, the germ of which sent forth
some of its shoots when Banks was
willing "to let the Union slide" and
Garrison published the Liberator with
the motto, the "UniOn is It league with
Death anda Covenant with He'll" This
is the salad forSecession, and the drOOp-
ingcreature OF Calhoun and Yaucey, of
Phillips, Parker and Garrison, will de
rive new strength from this nOurish-
ing succulent 50 assiduously cultivated
by the deludcd followers of Mr.. Charles
Sumner and Mr.. Thaddeus stevens.
Let the Inquirer deny, if it dares, that
it holds that. there are but hreHty-fce
States in the Union. l. this not 80,
gentlemen? If 50, yoe1' fag cat hare
dmtwelty.fre stars upon It and you are
Disunionists self-confessedand self-con-
demned.
Again, the inquirer continually pre-
sumes its readers to be ig,a0rait. 1t in
suits them weekly with impostures Of
the most shameless character. 1t tries
to blindfold them by setting up a hllr-
rah over imaginary political victories.
For instance, in its last issue, it has
double-leaded article on the Connecti-
cut election, which winds up with
''huzza for Connecticut" Why didn't
it tell itsreaders that the "Republican"
majority in Connecticut is only about
500, whilst last year it was II, 1,035, and
Lincoln in 1861, had about $500? Also
that the "Republicans' this year lost
IS Senators and 81 Representative? :?
All! this Wouldnot have suited its pur-
pose. II might hure disc0udged some
Of It's puyfjz0lS, to ten He tql}h. 1t has
also a similar glorifcation over Rhode
Island, but it forgets to say that the
Republicans" of that State mate no
phatfOyDl, and that the Democrats did
not nominate candidate against Burn
side. Further on it claimsthat themu-
nicipal elections in Michigan, "show
considerable Republican gains" when
the contrary is true, as the Democrats
and Johnson men made a clean sweep
in that State. The same is also the
case in regard to its claim of the elec-
tionin LeaVenworth, Kansas, as a RE
/ publican" triumph, when Carney, the
Mayorelect, was supported by the DEM
Ocrats and Johnson men as against the
Pomeroy Radicals. Why couldn't it
te its readers about st. Louis, that for
mer Radical stronghold, where the
Sumner and Stevens party has just been
beaten 5000 votes; or, about Evans
vile, Indianapolis and Tcrre Haute,
Ind, the latter the home Of Hon. d.
/ W. Voorhees, all of them last year
strongly "Republican, and all of them
them this year overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic? The Lqquiyer must imagine
that when it caters thus for its readers,
it is buttering the brains of dead
ducks"
But, then, in order TO sugar-cOat its
doses, there is a delicious icing Of mo-
rnity spread over them, for instance,
articles on temperance, one of the edi-
tors belonging to the order Of Good
Templars, he beinga candidate for the
Republican" nomination for the Leg
islature. In the last issue, however,
these articles were not to be seen, mas
much as the editors rival for the legis-
lative honOrs, has also joined the Tenn
/ plars.
/ The devil was sick, the devil monk would be,
The devil got we'll, the devil monk was he"
1 But, findno fault with the Laqurer's
advocacy of temperance. On the other
hand, Ibid itGod-speed. Only, don't
think so excellent a cloak should be
/ put upon 50 vile a body as that which
wears it in the columns of that paper
to wit, PoiHicdt Trickery. Do you,
reader? OLD SALT,
