The Board of Commissioners, Audi
tors and Directors are now all Demo-
Gratis. We call upon the honest masses
to rise above party this fall, and vote
for the good of the public for the Re-
publican nominees. 1t is time to have
a change.-LRQuireT.
You "call upon the honest masses to
rise above party this Fallw Eth? Do
you, indeed? You call upon them to
rOte yOIn' OlCT party ticket! What a
sacrifice you must have made when
you uttered that "callw Do you ask
them to ''rise above party" when they
come to cast their ballots for members
of the Legislature? Do you tell them
nOlC, as you did three months ago, that
the last Legislature, was the most cor
rupt body that ever assembled, and
that "another such legislature would
sink us?" DO you tell them, that in
view of the acknowledged corruption
of that body, they should rise above
party and vote for honest men? Do
you tell them that your candidates,
Weller and Richards, were members
of that body and voted for almost ev-
cry one of the corrupt measures which
have rendered it infamous? Oh no! I!
The quietest Of quiet little mice could
not be as still on that subject as the ed
itors of the Bedford Inquirer. But
they will discover after the next elec-
ton, that, with all their quietneSs, they
can't nibble themselves into the public
cheese. The people cannot be hum
bugged by their great pretensiOns to
honesty. Mr.. Guffy, of WestmOreland
county, once said of John Cessna, when
the latter was boasting of his Democra-
vi always observed that the cow
that bawls the loudest forgets her calf
the soonest" The public will apply
Mr.. Guffy's observation to the profes-
sions of the Inquirer in regard to coun-
ty affairs, and will, doubtless, come to
the conclusion that that COW bawls
little too loud to care much about it's
calf.

''SOUND. PRACTICAL MENr'
They ''wiII Make Good and Reliable OIL
cers!''

The Bedford Inquirer, of June q, 49,
81, in an article criticising the Demo-
cratic County Ticket, thus spoke in re-
gard to the gentlemen composing that
ticket:
haCOpperhead County Convention
assembled in this place on last Tuesday
and put in nomination a ticket to be
supported by them at the coming cleo
ton. The nominees are for District
Attorney. E. F. Kerr, of Bedford
Treasurer, Isaac Mengel, of Bedford ;
County Commissioner, Peter NJ. Bar
ton, of East Providence; Poor Director,
Auditor, Samuel Whip, of fCumberland
Valley. This is about the best ticket
that has been put in nomination by
that party for some years. AU the men
are sound practical men and lCW make
good and reliable officers. 1t is evident
that the country for once got the advan-
tage OF the town, and the leaders here
were fOiled in their efforts to secure the
usual creatures who are entirely sub
servient to them. We claim some cred
it for this deviation from the usual
course of nominating men without bus
mess qu lifcations for the offices of
Commissioner, Poor Director and Aud
itor. 1t will be a credit to the candi-
dates put in nomination by the Repub-
lican party to defeat or be defeated by
such men,"
Yes, you may we'll say, Mr.. Inquirer,
that the Democratic candidates are
'sound, practical men and will make
good and reliable officers" Such men
as Isaac Mengel, L. f. Kerr, Peter NJ
Barton, John |. Noble and Samuel
Whip are eminently worthy of the
compliment you bestow upon them.
And as you think it ga credit to your
candidates to be defeated by them, the
people will take great pleasure in con-
ferring that ''credit" upon your whole
ticket, from top to bottom. OF course,
the worse your ticket is beaten, by our
candidates, the more "credit" will at
tach to the persons composing it.
Hence, as we have great desire to do
those persons much "credit," we shall
do all in our power to beat them as bad
ly as possible. Hurrah for the "Sound,
Practical" Ticket, saw we!

NEGRO STATES.

Did any decent "Republican" ever
dream that his party would make
NEGRO STATES of ten States of this
once free white Republic? Incredible
as it may seem, this has been done i!
Tennessee is now ruled by a Governor
elected by Negro votes. Every South
ern State under the rule of the "re-con-
struction" Satraps, is negroized, the
greater portion Of the whites being dis
franchised and the blacks, to a man,
made voters. Negroes sit on juries in
those States, to the exclusion Of the
most intelligent of the whites. This is
the Gods truth, and no Republican"
of ordinary intelligence will attempt
to deny that it is true. Is this what
"Republicans" expected at the hands
of their party? Did they vote for Ne
gro ,Sdtes ? Did the tacO ha0adl,ed thOus-

who have betrayed them.

The Radical papers are in great
stew over the article said to have been
published in the ,Salena (IUdss. Journal,
denunciatory Of the "Pennsylvania

peared in that paper or any other pub

whether that article was published in
a Salem paper, or in some other New
England sheet, and the New York
Tribune has taken up the cudgelS a
gainst the Pennsylvania Dutch" it
matters but little whether it was pub
lished at all. We will substitute the
Tribune for the "Salem Journal" That
organ of RaGicaIism (the Tri6a01e) re-
Gently had an article in which it spoke
of certain counties of Ohio, as having
been settled by a "Scho0l-ltdting, rum
lOUi1ag breed Of Pennsylvania Dutch," of
whose politics it processes holy horror.

borhOOd love the Radicalism which
thus brands them with ignominy, so
much as to swallow such insults, they
will get plenty Of that sort of diet in
due time

THE Bedford Inquirer will have it
that Democratsare rebels, and publishes
some manufactured statements about
individual Democrats in Kentucky,
to sustain its opinion. Well, we pre-
sumo that such "loyal'' folks as Mr.. j.

Radical county ticket, don't want ''reb
els" to vote for them. We advise some
of these candidates not to link arms
quite so much with the pe5ky ''rebels,"
lest they come under the ban Of the

THE Negroes Pennsylvania recent
ly held estate Convention" at Read
ing. That aUhite Niger, f. H. Rauch,
editor ola Radical paper in Reading,
addressed the Convention" and said
in the course of his remarks, that he
thanked God that not One-tenth of the
criminals Of the State are colored men!"
The dirty knave did not stop to tell his
sable heare.s, that the "coIored" popu-
lation of Pennsylvania, is not the one
tenth part, nor the one-iftieth part,
either, of the entire number of the in
habitants of the State, and, therefore,
couldn't well furnish the One-tenth
part of its criminals. Was there ever
a meaner, Sinner, fouler traitor to his
own race and blood, than the man who
could utter sentiment like the above?
The Negroes, under the dictation of
fellows like this Rauch, passed resO-
luton recommending the blacks of the
South to vote as a body with the Radi-
calls. Do the Africans of Pennsylvania
want to array the Democrats against
their race? Do they want to make
enemies of three hundred thousand vo-
ters in this State, many of them their
protectors and friends? If so, let them
stick to their Reading resolution.

cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more dura-

easily kept in order and repaired than any other

while in an old English watch there are more than
700 parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let.

HENRY w. WILLIAMS.

The Radical candidate for Supreme Judge, stands
upon a platform, in which occurs the following
language:
"Resolred That warned by past misfortunes,
we ask that the Supreme Court of the State be
placed in harmony with the political opinions of
m jority of the people"
Thus, the Supreme Court, which is the final
bitter between the weak and the strong, between
minorties and majorities, is to be swayed by poit
ica bias against the rights of that portion of the
people a0hO may happen to be IN tile minority.
Have mlnorities no rights which majorities are
bound to respect? Nay, are not the fewest num-
Der of people lavyerS, jwristS and is not often
the smallest minority right, on questions of law,
rather than the mass who have had no legal or ju-
dicial education? Who, therefore, could trust
man as Supreme Judge, who will agree to substi-
tute for mis- own deliberate judgment, the crude
opinions Of the mob!
