Campaign Gazette !
REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT
Civil Liberty and Constitu-
tional Rights

"Light, more light !" is the start
ling cry Of the honest people gropng
in the darkness Of Radicalism. 'Light,
more lightu' shouts the groaniDg tax
payer, bending under the load which
a Radical Congress has heaped upon
him. "Light, more lightr' is the
pleading cry that comes to US from
those who earnestly seek remedy for
the disease that is tugging at the vi
tails of the nation. Look and ye shall
see! Read and we shall know! The
BEDFORD GAZETTE, for the Pres-
Dental Campaign, will be a complete
compendium ofpolitical news, speeches,
documents and every thing that per-
tains to political canvass in the col
umns of a weekly newspaper. 1t will
be published from the 18th Of August
until the seventh of November, next,
at the following low terms, cash in adj
vance:
One copy, S 80
Ten COPIES, 800
Twenty copies, 900
Fifty copies, 20.00
Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the
coming campaign, but he should like
wise make it point to furnish his Re
publican neighbor copy. This is
the plan upon which our opponents
have acted for years, and it is about
time that Democrats do something of
the same sort. NOW, GO TO WORK
and PIT yOur Democratic newspaper into
the hands Of eUery Republican aCitO 1cW
read. If you will do this you WIN
accomplish more good in six months
than you will by any other means in
six years. Democratic politicians,
throughout the county, are enabled, by
the above low terms, to circulate Dem
ocratic newspapers at a very small
cost. We appeal to them to sec 10 get
ting up clubs, and to see to it in time.
NOW is the time to SOW the seed. AT
ter little while the heat Of passion
and prejudice will beam upon the pub
lie mind III all its intense ferceness,
and then seed-time will have passed.
Friends, let us hear from you!

No loss can be more fatal to de0aay,
especially in the female sex, than the
loss Of the hair; glossy, iuXuriant
hair is one of the most power
ful of all personal charms. When
badness or even a deficiency of hair
exists, we naturally look for a dry
and wrinkled skin, a faded complex
ion; when not actually seen, we see
them in imagination. Why, then not
cultivate your hair? Encourage it and
strengthen it; or, if your hair is gray
or white, the natural color can be re-

BEFORE the war nothing was more
universally denounced as -RepubIi-
can than the South Carolina mode of
choosing Presidential electcrs-by the
legislature. South Carolina was for
this assaiIed as an oligarchy on every
Republican stump, and through all
their press. But now these canting
friends of liberty and equality seize on
this outWorn process Of South Carolina,
to defeat Seymour and Blair. The
only difference in the two cases is, that
the legislature was the legitimate or
gan for the expression of the will of
the people of South Carolina, whilst
these legislatures of Florida and Ala
ba;na are fraudfuI and usurping, act
ing in utter defiance of the popular
will. There is not a shadow Of legality
in the legislature of Alabama, nor in
the Constitution under which it pre-
tends to act. That of Florida is the
creation of the Bureau and the bayo-

Thus, it will be seen, the figures show
that during the nine years of Radical
rule, the making of our State laws, has
cost the people upwards Of ONE MIL
LION, ONE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
more than it did during the nine years
preceding the accession of Radicalism
TO power, or at an average of about
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS per
annum more than under Democratic
rule. The expenses of the last Legis-
lature also show that the tendency is
to increase instead of diminish. Com
pare the cost of the last Radical Legis-

A NEW REMEDY IN CoNSUMPTION.--

years with frequent bleedings of the lungs, cured
himself with a medicine unknown to the profes-

or who has any knowledge of its virtues; and he
can ascribe the degree of health he now enjoys to
nothing but the use of his medicine; and nothing
but utter despair and entire extinction of all hope

The Lancaster Examiner. Units last
issue, has an apologize article about
Mr.. SteVenS'S last speech, in which,
though not defending the sentiments
he uttered, it declares he has done
nothing to separate him from the
great masses of the Republican party,
and further avers that whether he is
rigth or wrong in his views, the Re
publican party cannot be held acCoun-
table for them. To which the Ian
caster Express answers: "ThaL wheth-
er the Republican party is response
BILE or not, depends upon whether
they continue to uphold him, or
whether they renOunce his leadership.
/ What sense or consistency IS there in
pretending to oppose the repudiating
platform Of the Democratic platform
of the Democratic party, if at the
same time we follow and support a
| leader who positively declares that he
will abandon Us unless we renOunce
| our own convictions, and accept the
doctrines of the very Democratic
platform which we regard as false

Addressed the Wrong Man.


The Republican State Central Com
mittee of Iowa, have begun to assess
the officehoIders. But last week one
of these letters was addressed to the
wrong individual, as the following re-
sponse will show: .-
MARION, LINN COUNTY, Iowa,
June 25, 1863.
p. Melcndy, Eco, CT airman Republican State
Central Committees
DEAR SIR-Your letter above, as
sessing me twenty-five dollars for as
sisting in the election of the Republi-
can candidates, is received and duly
considered. The following among
other considerations, induce me re-
spectfully to decline paying the amt
assessed to me. First: My treasury
department Is not just now sufficiently
plethOric to admit Of such depletion
as you prescribe. Second-I am about
starting to discharge the functions of
q delegate to the Democratic C0cyon-
ton at New York, and shall probably
require what small change L have at
command to defray expenses. Third
i am opposed from principle to large
expenses for the celebration of funeral
obsequies, and think it quite as well
to let the party you present go down
to its final rest quietly. Fourth-I
don't think Ihe Investment will pay !;
your old hulk is too rotten for repairs,
and my advice is that you let her go
to the bottom, and that you save the
treasure for some more laudable en-
terprise. 1t occurs to me that mas
much as the Republican party is in
the interest of the bOndhOlders of the
country, and opposed to equal taxa
tiOn, that the money necessary to run
your party the coming campaign
should be raised from them instead of
calling on the friends of Pendleton
and equal taxation.
Very respectfully,
II. 5. BARDWELL.

Robbery at Strasburg.

The residence of George Blanc, half a
mile west of Strasburg, in this county, was
entered about o'clock g. m. on the Goth
inst, while the family were all in the field
at work About 10 o'clock MIR. Blanc re-
turned to the house and found the door open
freebooter had entered by the window. Nlr.
Blanc found that his mOney-boI had been
opened, and the contents, ,-one hundred and
fifty dollars, twenty y-hye of it in gold and sill
yer, had been taken. On coming out he saw
a man walking away short distance off
He started after him, but the fellow made
tracks more rapidly, and soon took to the
woods. The alarm was soon carried 10 StraS-
burg';an1 several peSSons turD0i out in purs4s.
DR.. George B. Cock and Jonas Blanc got on
the track of the scamp, and followed him
through Harrisburgh to. Llmaville, and found
him there in q grocery. DR.. Cock, though
he was not an officer, and had noSwarrant, at
tempted to arrest the fellow, but he broke
away, took to the fields, and finally, after a
chase, escaped. DR.. Cock, however, tele-
graphed to Ravenns and several other points,
and the same evening the robber was arrest
ed in Rayenna and lodged in jail. DR.. Cock
and old Mr.. Blanc brought the accused 20

ty-five years old He was searched Al Ra

Settled at Last.

The corner stone of the new Court House
has finally found resting place. The mar
BILE slab which was received from Alliance.
where the first inscription upon it was engra-
we'd, has been reconstructed by removing the
original inscription and putting in its place
the present one. We do not know what
prompted the architect to have this work
done at Alliance in the first place, but prob
ably he had good reasons. Certain it IS that
the present inscription gives better satisfac-
ton. Not only the inscription itself, but the
manner in which it is put on. The Messrs
Bauhoff, of our city, deserve praise for the
neat and beautiful execution of the inscrip-
ton that now graces the corner stone. EY-
cry one seem satisfied with it. Itappears to
challenge criticism. 1t is but one of the
many specimens of beautiful work in marble
which comes from the hands of Messrs.
Bauhaff, on East TuscsraWas sStreet.-STARK
Co. REPUBLICAN.
We were from home week or two about
the 4th, and hence are not fully posted on
the "corner stone business" We are glad
it is now settled satisfactorily, inscription
and all. The inscription is, ''Built A. d.
1868, by The People of Stark County" No
doubt the Messrs. Bauhoff did the lettering
well. This last inscription is commonplace
truth. If read by some explorer thousand
years hence, it may convey something new
to him. The first inscription we learn crea-
ted great Indignation among oElr citizens. 1t
was, 'eBuilt 1868. r. f. Porter, Joshua
Lee, q. W. Lawrence, Commissioners. OF
course it was news to our people to lean
that Mr.. LAWRENCE was commissioner
They thought he was AUS GEsPIELT since last
fall, when the Democracy elected Mr.. Sche-
fer. 1t seems this small piece of business
created such a storm that the inscription was
changed, and is now ALLIES RECHT. Hooray
for ''TuE PEOPLE OF STARK CoUNrY -
