ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the Black Republican •ominee for President of the United States, is the j author of the annexed treasonable, fanatical and revolutionary doctrine. It was announced by him prior to Seward's "Irrepressible Conflict" Roches ter speech, the leading idea of which it embodies, tad was the basis of all his arguments against Ste phen A. Douglas in 1658, by whom he was defeated for the U. S. Senate. Let the conservative masses reflect upon this startling doctrine, and let patriots shrink from it as from a serpent whose sting is death ! "We are now far into tbe fifth year since a policy was initiated with the avowed object and confident Bromise ot putting an end to slavery agitation.— nder tbe operation of that policy, that agitation has not only not ceased, but has constantly aug mented. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been teached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. Ido not expect the Union to be dis solved- Ido not expert the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will beeome mil one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the farther spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the be lief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or ita advocates will push it forward till it shall be- j tone alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new—North as well as South." THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET. We raise to our mast-head to-day, the ticket for county officers nominated by the Demo cratic County Convention on Tuesday last.— We lack the room in the present number to speak of the candidates in detail, but will do so at an early day. They aie all good men and deserving Democrats, and we bespeak for them the earnest and undivided support of the party. They have been put forward as our standard bearers—they have been selected to lead the van in the corning fight, and we hope every man who calls himself a Democrat, will come tip manfully to their support. Doubtless, some of us would rather have seen some friend whom we specially respect, honored with a nomination ; but the majority of the representatives of the party did not coincide m our wishes, and, therefore, as Democrats, believing that the will of the majority should rule, we should bury our personal likes and dis likes and submit to the decision of those to whom the sovereign people delegated the right *o make oar nominees. Let the golden rule— ••Do unto others as you would have others do onto you"—be the motto of our disappointed friends, remembering that if they had been successful, they would have certainly expec ted the snpport of their disappointed competi tors. Besides, principles , which are eternal, should be dearer to us all. than men, the mere creatures ofa day. Therefore let u all do our duty—and the victory we shall win at tbe coming election, will be but a precursor of future success, when our ticket shall be composed of tbe Democrats who have just been defeated for the nomination. iO*"No reliable news ot importance from the Baltimore Convention. There seems to be a better prospect than at Charleston, but we ap prehend that itjwill be impossible to effect a rec onciliation between the main body and the e --ceders. SyThe Democratic County Convention on Tuesday last, was composed of the very best men ;a the partv. It proceeding# were con ducted with great decorum and passed off in en tire harmony. 83*"" We publish in this issue the interesting report ot the Poor House Commissioners.

Resolved, By the represent atives of the De mocracy of Bedford county, in Convention as sembled, that the ticket for coun.'y officers se lected to-day, is composed of worth y men and true Democrats, and that we pledge our best efforts individually and collectively, Iv insure its success at the election in October next. Resolved, That we will cordially and ear nestly support the nominee of the Baltimore Convention, believing that in the continued success of the Democratic party, rests the on ly certain safe-guard of our Republic. Resolved , That we highly approve of the j nomination of GEN'L. H. D.

Resolved, That ia the action of the sectional i Convention recently assembled at Chicago, we j regret to recognize the workings of that insane fanaticism against which Washington and he I fathers of the Republic so earnestly warned us, and that we deprecate most heartily and sin cerely the spirit and tendency of the doctrines set forth by that body. Resolved, That the nominations of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin, are adverse to the best interests of Pennsylvania and of the i Union being the champions and defenders of I the "irrepiessible conflict," their election, in our opinion, would precipitate the country into civil commotion and bring upon us all the hor rors of disunion, negro insurrections, and intes ; tine war.

THE TARIFF BILL.POSTPONED. WHO IS TO BLAME ? The Morrill Tariff bill has been postponed by the Senate for the present session. The Democrats of Pennsylvania headed by our gal lant Foster, fought hard to have this bill passed, though their efforts were hopeless from the be ginning, for the reason that the bill was pur posely so shaped by the Black Republicans of the House, as to make its adoption by the Sen ate impossible. The object of the Black Re publicans in so framing the bill as make it obnoxious to three fourths of the States of the Union, is so manifest that it is scarcely necess ary here to bring it to the reader's mind. It in to keep open the Tariff question for agitation during the coming campaign, for the purpose of making political capital. Let this be borne in mind. Had the Morrill bill been fair to o ther sections of the country, and had it not been kept from the Senate until towards the close of the session, when it was impossible to act upon it understanding!}', Pennsylvania would have received all she asked. Senator Bigler exerted himself to his utmost to obtain the passage of a Pennsylvania Tariff, whilst such "Republican" Senators as Hale and Fessenden grinned and leered like drunken satyrs, full of satisfaction that no such Tariff could be made at present. The hypocrisy of Black Republicanism on this Tariff question, smells to heaven, and the rot teness of its designs can attract none but the buzzards that feed on the carrion of politics. The Philadelphia Inquirer, an Opposition news paper, has the following article on the subject of the postponement of the Tariff bill, which we ask our readers to give a careful perusal. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The fate of the Tariff. The MORRILL tariff bill has met the fate in the Senate which its enemies have ail along prophesied for it, and which its friends feared was prophecied too truly. Mr. WIL SON yesterday moved that the session be ex tended to the 28th inst. Mr. HUNTER suggested the 21 st, and then a proposition of Mr. WIG FALL, of Texas, that the 25th should be fixed upon the final adjournment, was affirmatively acted upon, as though it were a species of split ting the difference between the other days named. Some allusion being mede by Mr. CLINCMAN Ito the fact that the Baltimore Convention ; would be in session next week, and a desire j expressed that the time of the final adjourn ment might be fixed, witn a view to the ab i sence "of Democratic Senators, which the I assembling of that body might cause, Mr. HALE made a speech ofa very remarkable character, and one which should leach Pennsylvanians, and others interested in the success of the new tariff bill, that Democratic Senators alone are not to be held responsible for its defeat. He stigmatized the new tariff bill as a partial one, and ridiculed Senator BIGLER and his efforts to procure its passage. "The tariff question," he said, "is settled. There were at least ten votes against it." That this is so is probably true ; and that all the eloquence of Senator BIGLER would be expended in vain in efforts to change the views of those comprising the majority upon the subject, is equally} likely. But it must be remembered hereafter that no party is entitled to the credit of having sought to achieve its success, and no party responsible altogether for its rejection by the Senate. The Evening Post, one of the ablest papers in the country, and an unswerving supporter of the Republican side of politics, has, since the in troduction of the MORKILL bill in the House of Representatives, denounced the bill in the most unmeasured terms, as partial, unjust, oppressive, and made to advance the interests of a few en gaged in particular branches of manufacture, at the expense of every one else in the country. Mr. HALE, now, in the. Senate, hastens the downfall of the bill, by telling the Senate and '.he country that its defeat is foredoomed, and by intimating, if not distinctly urging, that its fate is merited by the partiality of the proposed legislation. On the other hand, Gov. BIGLER, since the introduction of the bill into the Senate, has ap parently been its earnest, if not very effective, advocate. It may be that he knows that there is a majority of ten ready to seal ita doom, whenever the time comes for a vote, at least, as well as Mr. HALE, who is not generally, we presume, very high in the confidence ol the ma jority of the Senate. It may be that .Mr. BIG LER, hopeless of, or even indifferent to its suc cess, has shaped his course on the question, with a view to screen himself from the censure of his constituents. Of these things we are una ble to judge; but one thing, all who run may read—that while Gov.tßiGLEß.has, at least, been the avowed advocate of the MORRILL tariff bill, Mr. HALE, of New Hampshire, has sung its fu neral psalm m fi tone rather of triumph than of sorrow. The Covode Committee felling into Contempt. The effort made by the self-righleous Covode to bring the Administration of President Buch anan into disrepute, through the instrumentali ty of a one-sided, partizan Committee, under the modus operandi of which, the said Covode was suffered to be prosecutor, witness, attorney, judge and part of the jury, has excited nothing but the contempt of ail intelligent and liberal minded men. Many of the Opposition news papers regard Covode as an arrant hypocrite and deprecate his bare-faced attempt to make party capital at the expense ol the honor and charac ter ol our government. The following from the Philadelphia Evming JournaP, the organ of the Bell party in Philadelphia, we commend to the admirers of the" immaculate Covode : "The fact is, as every unprejudiced an cerning man must see, that the present "Re publican" majority in the House of Represen tatives, have employed their power during this session uf Congress, chiefly in ex parte inquisi tions into the conduct of the President and his Cabinet, in which the inquisitorial committees were packed with the enemies of the accused parties, whose action was so shaped as to elicit every fact that was likely to discredit the Ad ministration, while every fact {hat would have been exculpatory, was suppressed. And ail this was done, too, with the foreknowledge that whatever the result of the inquest might be, the parties originating it had the power, by a final vote in the House, to pass and record a sentence of condemnation, and with a foregone purpose to give the whoie proceedings that damning is sue. The event, as exhibited in the resolutions passed yesterday, in censure of the President and the Secretary of the Navy, has consumma ted the design of the conspirators, and the jour nals of Congress are again disgraced with a de nunciatory judgment, pronounced against the Executive of the nation, by a partisan majority in one branch of the Legislature, against eveay principle ol constitutional right and power, and every rule of ordinary judicial propriety and justice. Comment on this shameful abuse of the power of a majority in a single chamber of Con gress is unecessary. It is a striking example of abuse in those who have set themselves up as the special reformers of abuses. Those who will audaciously transgress all established limi tations of legislative jurisdiction, and usurp 1 functions denied to them by the fundamental law of the Government, lor the purpose ol'exer cising a malignant and dishonorable censorship over a co-ordinate department of the Adminis tration, are not fit to be trusted with too much power. Moreover, the people wiij doubtless see that the whole aim of the "Cdvnde," and other like has been to bring the President and his Constitutional advisers into public contempt, merely to provoke a counter current of feeling in favor of the "Republican" party, and, perceiving thi fact, we trust that the only and real purpose of a shameful scheme of persecution will fail of realization." THE BATTLE OF THE "IfIMS" AND THE "RJMS." Mr. T. U. Webb writes from Philadelphia to know if we are sure that Mr. Lincoln's name is Abraham and not Abwygs. W'e answer, that the Chicago Press and Tribune has stated as much on Mr. Lincoln's express authority ; and now we have the Illinois State Journal, pub lished at Springfield, which sajsthat the name Abram does not belong to Mr. Lincoln.—.V. Y. Tribune. The trouble* of the Republicans over the name of their candidate have been really dis tressing to witness. Not a day has passed since the nomination of the unavailable Lincoln, without the occurrence of some unhappy com plication connected with his christian name So long as cur Republican neighbors stuck to "old Abe" they have got along well enough; but once forsaking that plain appellation they have instantly oecome entangled in a "ham ram" labyrinth. "It is hum ," has shouted one. "It is rimf' has responded another. The "bams" have grown heated, and the "rams" have been rampant, until a pitched battle between the "rams" and the ''hams" has appeared unavoid able. By the above official announcement—to which in charity we give publicity—it appears that the question is now decided and that the "rams" are overthrown. But although the Republicans may succeed in preserving their candidate' 3 "ham," they will find it a difficult matter to "save his baco"." THE APPROACHING HARVEST. —The wheat crop is just maturing and ir. many parts of this country, particularly at the South, harvest is in progress. At isolated points all through the Northwest harvesting has commenced, so that the extent of the crop will oe soon known. After a thorough examination of the newspa pers, the conclusion is unavoidable that the forthcoming harvest will be one of the most a bundant ever gathered, taking the country as a whole. Virginia and parts of Georgia, North and South Carolina, appear to be the least fa vored; but even in those States, after weighiug the many conflicting account? given we should not be surprised if the yield is up to a fair av erage—unless we except Virginia, which has suffered severely from insects.—A. Y. Journal of Commerce. AN OCTAROON IN CLEVELAND. —The Cleve land Plaindealer says a Mississippi planter has purchased, for $7,000, an elegant brick man sion in that city as a residence for his daugh ter, an octaroon, just sixteen years old. She was expected there shortly, accompanied by her governess and que or two free servants. A daughter of the Rev. J. C. White has been em ployed as a general instructor of the young la dy. Though born a slave, the octaroon is now free, and the planter will spare no pains or ex pense to give her a thorough education. Her income while she resides here is to be $3,000 a yiar. The preparations for her advent are said to have created considerable excitement in the immediate neighborhood of the house she is to occupy. Hollowiy's Pills.— An indisputable fact. Costiveness of the Bowels.—Many diseases which afflict mankind, originate in the sluggish nature or impaired functions of the stomach and viscera, viz: indigestion, headache, ner vous disorders, piles and cutaneous eruptions, for which cathartics are usually prescribed. These may relieve the bowels for the time, but will not reach the active cause ofthe complaint. Ordinary purgatives create a necessity for rep etition, until eventually the bowels become pow erless. Holloway's Pills not only seek the seat of the disorder, but after evacuating the depra ved humors from the stomach and intestines, so renevate and invigorate them as to prevent a future recurrence.

The column con taining expenses of Poor House, over and above net proceeds of mill and farm as paid out, ex hibits $2,103. 74 ; the last column, containing taxes collected each year, exhibits an average of $3,180.39, showing a difference 0f51.Q76.- 65 ; this difference is accounted for in the con sumption of beef, pork, garden vegetables Sec. not put down in the column of expenses, not being paid out, but counted in as resources of farm and garden in order to what the property has been paying as a separate and distinct property from the Poor House. This difference added to the cost of each pauper per head as above, makes the average cost of each one per week, for the ten last years, §1.71 ; this concluded all expenses of Poor House , em bracing Steward's salary, his family, Physician's salary, Directors, Clerks, &c. From a thorough and rigid investigation of every Treasurer's and Steward's report, which involved an examina tion of every single item in each one for ten years, nothing was delected but a fair and full statement of income and out-lay. Some bills were allowed occasionally which looked ex travagant, but they would not have been paid without checks being granted by the Directors. There is some room for economizing ; but the secret of so much lax and expense, is the un avoidable cost of a very laige family of say 60 people (including Steward and family) to be fed and clothed ail the time; following in its train, Physician' 3 bills, medicines, burial expenses, Clerks, Directors, Justices, making out war rants, constable's fees in bringing paupers he. Sic. These latter things make up a <arge bill of items wrth year, which are not seen, but felt. The mill and farm taken together exhibit an astonishing result. No real estate properly in the county pays like it. The mill is a source ot steady increase, yielding as much as most farms alone, after paying ail its.expenses, whilst the farm and gardens, are still more interesting in their results. It is not a gram growing farm ; but with a large meadow, and its yield of corn, with work done principally by the Steward and paupers, the net increas- is large, and the garden still larger. From £SOO to 3000 hear sof cabbage, 2 St 300 doz. cucumbers are the^annual yield of the garden, including beets, parsnips, beans &c, in proportion. The best thing about it, is, the work costs nothing, or very little. It is a kind of work, paupers can and will do. The above table is as near correct as it could be made from the reports. From the mixed manner in which some are made out, it is im possible to get items seperated so as to get them exactly under the proper' head. It is suggested, hereafter, that for ready informa tion, and a clear exhibit of facta, the Treasurer and Steward keep thetr wtount., and make cur ~ r re P° r li sbowinK the income of the Mill in one column ; the eip, nees in another, and the same wnh regard to the iarm and Poor House property. They are three aepara'e concerns, and the accounts shouM be kept so. varied amount of expenses in different years ,s accounted for from the tacts that more checks were lifted in some years than other. The first three of the above ten, shows the average cost of paupers small ; the next column of receipts by Treasurer explains it in ih e a „ mount ol taxes received, and consequently o small amount paid out. * 19 Too loose a practice las prevailed m i; ow . tng exonerations to collectors; a moie 'jt'd rule would save the honest, willing tax-p a large amount. " re Collectors, if-allowed, g-t in the habit of putting every body on the Vcape list who don't pay just when asked ; this practice has been"* source of considerable burthern to the tax pat ers within ten years. Collectors should bear in mind that no man can plead the three hun dred dollar law against taxes •, and this rule enforcbd, will leave very lew in Bedford county unable to "contribute their mile to the support ol the Poor. The yield of 12J per cent on the investment at original cost, may probably admit of a small deduction : but very little. Under no circum stances could it get below 10. The board ot commissioners appointed to sell the property and buy another, &c., are satisfied that such a change would be useless and unwise. The objection to the property being on the turn pike is no objection when it is taken into con sideiation that the way-faring populalion must be supported any how ;it will not do to let them starve ; the poor-house is made lor the poor, and the whole people of the county mar as well keep them as those who live along the load ; the tax-payers along the turnpike have as it is, more than their share of beggars. Besides this, if the Institution were eight or 1 ten miles, or three or four miles trom town on a farm, a great many way-fsrers would resort to it at all events ;the Physicians would have to ride further, and charge more, the pauper's clothing would have to be hauled and carried to them ; the grand jury would have to visit them at a big expense; a Stdward and a hand or two would have to be constantly on the go to furnish supplies; the expense of several hands on a farm ; a large number of horses and cattle con stantly tOH#ef £od all the other expenses atten ding a gram-growing farm with its vast amount of labor*; opinion, highly ex pedient er to keep what ,tbey now have rather thin ventore on untried experi rnf|pL improvement, bowwer, should be mailK a new house ought to be built tor the paupwlfcj this can be done without much out lay, andihould be so arranged as tc have a place or department exclusively for • sick and another place separately for the way-. s. These places properly attended to and cle„: n -f as they should be, will relieve the rest of the paupers from suffering, aod the Steward from a great deal of trouble and odium. It is to be hoped also that the institution will hereafter be kept from all entangling alli ances with politics, and that an intelligent good business man may be retained as Steward so k>n°- as he behaves himself well. The business must be learned as well as every thing else. An nonest man with some of the people's funds could buy grain, grind it out and supply the whole town of Bedford, in addition to doing the grist work ; this should be done; such a use of the property would in a short time gtea ly relieve the tax-payers. Entertaining these views, after a careful ex amination of the subject, the Commtssionera believing they had discretionary power under the act of Assembly and appointment of the Court, respectfully decline cariying out the provisions of said act, under a conviction that the people of the County would not be benefit ed thereby.

GIANT STRIDES IN THB NINETEENTH CENTU RY. —It is a world of wonders nobody can de ny, we take up the periodical of the day with the expectancy of reading some new theory or discovery, as well as,seeiog news inlhe abstract. The trans-atlantic electric cable, at the time we write, is fast expanding from its central point in nud-ocean to its two "termini" on land, to link the hemispheres! but at the same time that we justly look upon thi3 as a convincing proof of the great "march ol intellect," we must not lose sight ol another and no less great palpable evidence of what a giant intellect, sin gle-handed, can accomplish. THOMAS HOLLO WAY, whose name (as the great medical dictator of the present age) it needs no sub-marine tel egraph to herald from one clime to another, has by mean 3 of his two remedies, a "Piii" and an "Ointment," Jong established a chain of com municating agencies around the globe, without having recourse, however, to the aid,of electrici ty or a metal wire. As the poet has designa ted man to be but "a link in the great chain of causation," so may HOLLOWAY be said, thiough the instrumentality of his all-powerful remedies, to have organized a Universal Dispensary, lor the sick of all nations without regard to color, whether civilized or savage, simple in their all sufficiency, and within the reach of ail. What has 'ied to these remarks at the present was a visit we paid some time since to Dr Hol loway'a establishment in New York, and the inspection, with which we were then favored of some of the innumerable proofs oj his vast enterprize, from which we deduce the almost inconceivable extent to which bis iabors have extended, and the universal accep tation of his twin-remedies as specifics lor inter na.! and external disease—pages might be writ ten in adducing proofs of Ibis, but one will serve to elucidate the fact in the present instance sufficient to convince the most sceptical. In proportion as countries are distinct and diversi fied, so are the means of reaching all the scat tered members of the human family difficult to accomplish. To do this, it would be necessary to employ an almost "Pentecostal" array of diff erent tongues. Accordingly, in almost every living language, has this enterprising man mad# known his mission fo suffering humanity, and in no less than thirty distinct dialects have the wondrous properties of his medicines been actu ally prioted, thus in their own tongue enabling millions to apply to their owa peculiar cases these all powerful curatives. Such "Giant Strides" as these show the pos sibility of one master mind successfully compe ting with the capacities of hundreds backed by science itself.— P AUadt/phta
