THE BEDFORD liIZETTE. liidford. Jan. *. 185£. B. F. Meyers & G. W. BeaJtati, Editors. SPEECH OF SENATOR BIGLER. At the request of a number of our Democrat ic friends, we publish in this issue, the unan swerable speech on Kansas affairs, lately de livered in the U. S. Senate, by our distinguish ed Senator, HON. WM. BIGLEK. Barren of those rhetorical flourishes which serve to ex cite, rather than to convince—aiming at noth ing but a simple statement of the fr uth —devoid of all special pleading and unfairness —it is an argument that fully and forcibly vindicates the policy for which it contends. The weight of Senator Bigler's effort is felt sensibly by the mongrel opposition to the Democratic party- They know his power and fear it, and hence the vile calumniation and abuse which they heap upon him. But it matters not how much bitterness they expend upon him, he occupies firm ground—such as will never give under him—while the foundations his opponents build upon shall vanish like the baseless fabric of a dream. VVe commend the speech to the atten tion of our readers, hoping that every one of Ihem will read it thoroughly and carefully. LETTER 0E HON. J- S- BLACK- The views of Judge Biack, on the Kansas question will be found in our columns this week. The letter of this distinguished s in of Pennsyl vrriia, comes to us like an old friend in whom our confidence has never been misplaced. Jt hews down the sophistry of the opponents of the Administration, like some g-im Crusader ol old cleaving asunder the Saracen's skull with his battle-axe. It completely' unhorses the Don Quixotes who have seen til to array them selves against the wise and Democratic policy j of James Buchanan. L-t every one into whose ; hands this number of our paper may come, give j it a calm and careful perusal, is is briet and to : the pom! and no Democrat should fail to read i>, coining as it does from one whom we all well know to be honest and trustworthy, and whose lofty intellect has rnoie than once shed light up on the principles cheiished by the Democratic party. SHIN PLASTERS, Elf? The Abolitionists sav that the Treasury Note Bill which Congress lady parsed, authorizes the erection of a bank, and that the notes which the Secreiary ot the Treasiuy is about to issue, I are "shinplasters." This, th-y say, .shows that j the I) emocratic party is' not sincere in its oppo- j sifion to banks. Now, in our humble opinion, the Abolitionists ought to be ashamed even to mention this subject. It is to pay theextrav. I V 1 <>eMs corlract-i bv their speculntt 7lg Con- j greys, that these Treasury notes are issued. In j order that the evil deeds of (hat Congress may j not bring further rii-grace upon the country, the 1 present ( .ingress has been compelled to resort ■ to this measure. Nor will such a flimsy lie as I that of saving that the Treasury Note Bill au thorizes a bank and the issue ol "Government j slunp.asters, cover up the iniquity and wrong j' perpetrated by corrupt and unscrupulous Abo- • ' hiiorus'.s in the last Congress. The Treasury Note* are nothing more than common prori<isi- j ry notes, payable, with interest (whoever heard of interest being paid on "shin plasters?) on the first ol January, 1859. They are just such notes as too, dear reader, would give (d you had no mon-y) to the creditors of a false friend who had cheated you into the payment of his debts. That i ike friend, in the case of th- General Gnv nmerit, was the Abolition partv,arid the people knew it, too, when they hurled it out of power. "TARIFF! TARIFF!!" It is enough to disgust the most inveterate demagogue, to hear the Abolitionists crying out for a "high taiitf." Why in the name of shovel ploughs didn't they trv to establish a '•high tariff " u hen the v had the control of Con gress, if they consider it a measure of so much importance to the country ? Why, if thev be lieve trie doctrine they are now preaching, tlirl they lower Ike duties imposed by the Democntt ic tariff of 1546.' Why did tnev support for j Governor, at the last election, It e bitterest and most uncompromising anti-tariff man in the U nion.' Instead of agitating the subject of a "high taiifj, ' when in the last Congress they had a solid working majority, they consumed their tune m tigh ting about "Bieeciing Kansas" and in settling for bribes with railroad compa nies to which they had made extravagant grants of public lands. Instead of raising the dirties authorized by the Democratic Revenue Tariff of lbtb, they lt, Vfrt d (hem, so that now {he Gov rn,J" '* con, pefied to give its paper in pav- , Abolition d*btfi, lht*re not being a sul revenue.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Gift.-, horn a people to the minister who labors among th*-m. expressive of their attachment to him, are atwavs gratefuHv received. Thev are valuable to linn not only on account of their intrinsic worth, hut also, and especially because of the assurance they convey that his lab rs aie kindly received, and that notwithstanding his frailties, which are common to our poor human ity, they are mindful ol the apostolic direction— "we beseech von brethien to know them which I labor among you, and are over vou in the Lord, and aim >ni-h yon : to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake." Then is another consideration, less selfish, which causes the faithlol mi nister to rejoice in th* j lecepsihi of wilts from the peopleo| his charge j which is that if in the bestow rnent of these they j have been actuated by christian principles, they will be repaid a thousand fold bv the great (lead j of the Church, w ho said, in the da\ s of his IKgli ; that whosoever gave to one of his disciples a cup of cold water only because he u as a disciple, should in nowise lose his reward.
