here on next Monday night to address the
Copperhead meeting. We suppose it is the
same braggadocia, Montgomery, who doled
out a speech at Reading to the Copperhead
fzzle which came off there some weeks ago.
Mrs. Fremont expressed the best opinion Of
this weathercock that it has been our lot to
hear While Gen. Fremont wasin command
of the Department west Of the Mississippi the
Blairs were his inveterate enemies. 1t was
considerable of an annoyance. Mrs. Ere

REBELS TO POWER.''

''RESTORING REBELS TO Pow ERR
So long have we, .as occasional readers Of
the Bedford Gazette, patiently endured its
gross perversion Of facts, its specious, Jes-
uitical reasoning, and its frequent, and ludi-
crous attempts to make the wrong appear
the better reason, that we generally let pass
unheeded, the mass Of absurdities and
exploded theories with which It's columns
weekly teemed But, gentle reader, have
you ever observed, with what an air Of
affected piety, the complacent Editor of the
Gazette, clothed in the garments Of charity,
surreptitiously taken from some meek disci-
pie, initiating his prototype mentioned il
the fable, anlfull Of pity, tenderness and
compassion, humbly begs that the insurgent
States of the South, whose people, as he
assures US, have become submissive, shall
be admitted into the Union, and have all
their former rights Immediately restored?
Hear him, whenno doubt, in deepest sinceri-
ty andanxious solicitude, he asks thequestion,
Now when repentant rebels get down
upon their knees and ask to be allowed to
discharge the duties of citizens, are we to
say they shall not be permitted }''
Now this story Of "repentant rebel"
getting down upon their knees, must
certainly be hoax, at least we know of no
such instance. We do learn, however,
from this same veracious sheet, that at the
Philadelphia Convention, the band, forget
ful that they were almost within the shadow
Of the Hall Of independence, were willing
to subsidize our. beautiful national airs to
the tune ''of Dixie, so popular with rebels
during the war, and that that reconstruct
cd, white-washed traitor, James L. Orr, of
South Carolina, entered the wigwam arm
it-aJm, with the notorious Gen Couch,
whom Massachusetts,, last autumn, discarded
by forty-fve thousand majority. This is
one example of contrite submission But
let the author of the address of the ma
tional Union Party" the Little Villain,
Raymond, tell his own story lie speaks
by the book, and his imparious words are
invested with more than regal authority.
He says, ''The ten millions Of Americans
who live in the South would be unworthy
citizens Of free country, degenerate sons
of an heroic ancestry, if they could accept

HUMILIAToNs thus sought to he imposed

ant rebels getting down upon their knees
Oh, 10, you knew yos falsifed, when you
spoke of "defeat and submission. But
can there be any doubt but that these rebels
are unfit to be clothed with more than their
former power, a demand which they con
stantly press upon the Executive. Let the
remembrance Of the last FIVE years Of san
culinary strife and heroic endeayor on the
part ofour brave soldiery admonish us. Let
the battle fields of the rebellion smoking
with the hot blood Of patriots poured out
like rain, be perpetual reminder, and
never-eeasing remonstrance. The bones Of
our sons and brothers mingling with every
soil, and mouldering hard by Andersonville
and Belle Island, should teach us, that these
arch friends of treason, and bloody conspir-
ators, are not to be trusted, much less to be !

AN INSULT no GEN. GRANT.

The President made arrangements to re-
ceive the Committee appointed by the Wilkes
Booth Convention, which assembled in Phila-
delphia, on the 14th instant, to carry to him
an authorized report Of the proceedings Of
that gagged and hand cuhed body, he then
sent hastily for General Grant, and
the General thinking that he had some
important business, repaired tothe Executive
mansion, and was just in time 10 stand aside
and hear the Johnsons speak piece. The
President knows Gen. Grants sentiments,
and this miserable little trick was an insult.
The Copperhead papers set up a shout that
Gen Grant stood by when the addresses were
delivered and signifed his approval. This
trick shows the character of Andy johnson

NEM RADICALIsn.

The liberal sprinkling of Rebels in the
Philadelphia Convention seems to have
bolstered UP the courage of the Chicago
surrender party considerably From cow
ardly appeals for peace at any price in 1864,
they have advanced by rebel aid in 1866 to
a stand and deliver policy, that smacks
strongly Of the Jack Sheppard style Of ar
gument. This is nothing new among the
rebels, they have been practicing it foryears
and just now their northern lacqueys seem
to be apt students Of the plantation style of
ratiocination. In consideration of the cool
ness with which they threaten to inaugmate
a new and more terrible rebellion in case
they fail in their appeal to the ballot box,
the most fitting title they could have adop-
ted for their bantling would have been the
Radical Rebel Union party.

solely to his own merits. All remember
Gen Pennypacker's gallant charge over the
battlements of Fort Fisher, which the enc

he received the terrible wound in the groin,
from which he still suffers, while planting
with his own hands the colors of the 10th
and 9th Regiment upon the rampaIts Of
the fort The bravery and skill which Gen.
Pennypackeg constantly displayed in the
field are only equalled by the modesty with
witch be bears his well earned laurols
While here Gen. Pennypaoker was called
upon by many Of our citizens, and Oh last
Friday evening received the compliment Of
a serenade, but was too unwell to appear in
person to thank his admirers. We hope
that he may again honor our town with a
visit.

"MY POLICY', FOREsnADOWED.

Our attention has been called to a portion
of the prophecies of Daniel, says the Har-

sands years ago, the faithlessness destined
to interfere for a time, with the final
triumph Of free government and principles
ofequality among men on earth. Since the
President has impiously Geographically
asserted that the finger of Providence was
discernable in the deliberations of the Reb-

The Gazette persists in saying that the
votes which were cast for Col. Filler were
tailed for another, and that the Secretary
who made the tallies is not to blame. This
may be all very clear to She Gazette, but we
are compelled to admit that we cannot com
prehend it. We heard the vote on the oc-
casion alluded to, and we are quite sure that
we announced the result before the Secreta-
~ did, and when the announcement was
made, it confirmed our report. But the
Gazeae moves forward peg and thinks
that ''the fraud upon Col. Filler is cast into
the shade by the Tickery which was used to
floor Capt Stuckey in the Republican Leg
islative Conference We do not hesitate
to admit that the nominations Of Mr. Stutz-
ran and Mr. Richards defeated Captain
Stuckey. IF Capt. Smckey had been nomi-
mated, his nomination would have defeated
one or the other Of these gentlemen. Capt
Stuckey and his friends understood this
matter at the time and were therefore in
