A cHANGE OF BASE.

Last fall Andrew johnson issued an
order forbidding the Government employees
to contribute to the fund for carrying on the
Union campaign, on the grounds Of public
virtue. To-day his obsequious tools are
assessing every officer in the employ of the
Government, down to village Postmaster
5 per cent of their salaries, and they openly
announce that only By the paymentof this
assessment win parties be permitted to con-
tinue in office Never Eefore in the history
of our country has there been such an open
and unblushing prostitution of public pat
ronage to partisan purposes. While Andy
johnson possessed a single spark of honor
or virtue he very properlyfforbid any com
pulsory assessments for political purposes.
When he diberately betrayed his party and
country and undertook to hand botho7er to
the tender amercies of unrepeBtant rebels,
Undetermined to prostitute all the power
and patronage under bis control 10 the
carrying out Of his diaboliCal aims, s.sa

R9-Col. Filler must feel highly aattered
by the complimentary notices which he is
receiving at the hands of the Copperhead
press in this Legislative District. To us it
israther amusing. The same papers which
eulogize him so highly contain column after
column charging the Republican party with
being in favor of Negro Suffrage and Negro
equality, this in the face of the fact that
Col. Filler is the only man in the county
who has ever openly advocated Negro Suf-
frage. The Cops are surely advancing.
They are coming up higher ~

ORGANIZED ORGANIZED

The Republicans of this coun-
ty will see the necessity of organ
izing at once. Do not delay an
other day, yea, not another hour!
Let every man be seen and his
sentiments ascertained. Bedford
county can be carried against the
Copperheads, if the friends OF
freedom and opponents Of rebels
do their duty. Go To WORK
GO TO WORK! A word to

HOW is ssMy Policy97?

AUGUSTA, Maine, September I0.-The
victory in this State to day for the Union
party is unpara!led Our majority is fully
twenty-nine thousand. Our average majority
for the past eight years has been less than
fifteen thousand We have carried avery
Congressional district-thc closest by nearly
four thousand majority Have swept every
county, elected every Senator and nine
tenths Of the House The total vote is a
very full one, and our victory is complete.

nTThe Gazette shrieks against Negro
Suffrage and supports Col. Filler for the
Legislature. This may be consistency, but
some people are not willing to believe it.
If the Colonel is elected is he to introduce a
joint resolution submitting an amendment to
the Constitution striking out the word
white"
Bedford inquirer. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1857-1884, 1866-09-14

sThe Copperhead Party is now sup
porting Col. Filler for the Legislature who
short time ago was SO decidedly Radical
that Republicans were afraid to allow him to
canvass for them lest he would iniure their
cause. Negro Suffrage is looking up!

SS%We invite the attention of the public
to an able discussion of the Rolling Min pro-
ject, on the third page Of this paper, from
the able pen Of John Fulton, Esq. of Sax
ton. Mr. Fulton has given the matter very
close attention, and his facts are overwhel-
ming and conclusive. Let the professional
man, the farmer and the mechanic read it
and ponder well what he says. It seems to
us that it should not require any further ar
gument to satisfy anybody that the project
should become a reality, and that it would
pay large dividends, Read Mr.. Fulton s
letter and then take as much stock as yeur
circumstances viii warrant. I.i7g ~ fo.. Z.
