Fre mont's proclamation, to which was addpd an extract from fhe Louisville Journal (the strong eat Union paper in Kentucky) condemning the action of Gen. Fremont. The Union-Shnelc ers (there are two kinds of Unionists in this country, the Union men, and the Union-s/trfefc ers) ait once declared that the little editorial was evidence "strong as proofs of holy writ" that we are in sympathy with rebellion. Not a "Republican" could be found that did not en- ! dofte the proclamation of Gen. Fremont. It j suited them exactly. It was just right, and : any man that said any thing against it, w * j i iunking traitor. So wilfully blind ; and stupidly besdtted are these men that any j thing that is done by one of their leaders, is j right in their estimation, and instead of dis cussing the matter impartially in their own j minds,they straightway ret about inventing rea- > sons and excuses therefor. How dpsperate'v i leader-ridden they are,is sufficiently attested by . the tact that whilst they are ready to swear by : Gen. Fremont's proclamation, they are now compelled to repudiate it in order to keep in line with President Lincoln who has modified and changed Fremont's pronunciamento, so as lo make it tally with the Confiscation Act. What will they say now, when the President himself considers it necessary to modify Fre mont's proclamation? Is Mr. Lincoln also in "sympathy with rebellion?"—As for ourself, we frankly confess our gratification at this ac tion of the President. Whilst we have un reservedly condemned some of his acts, we shall ever be ready to give the President our ap proval when his conduct deserves it. If the modification by the Piesider.t, ol Fremont's Abolition proclamation,, should operate to pre vent the dreadful curse of the liberation of the negro slaves of the Southern States, Mr. Lin coln will truly Lave done a service to bis country for which the blessings of future gen erations will rest upon his memory. Misrepesentation. One of the speakers at a recent meeting held at Rainsburg, for the purpose of obtaining " recruits," took occasion, we are informed, to tell the people that wt Democrats should not be against the war because their paper tells them to be." Vow, we have never counseled Democrats, since the war began, to be against the war; on the other hand we have always urged our readers lo support aad uphold the Government; we have assisted in raising vol unteer companies, and have given of onr sub stance to minister to the soldiers' comfort. There is hut this difference between the views of the gentleman who misrepresentd us at Rains burg, and those entertained by ourself and promulgated in these columns, viz: That, in his opinion, it is necessary and right that the Ex ecutive should violate the Constitution in a dozen instances, in order to put down rebellion; whilst we believe that if the rebellion can be suppressed at all, it can he done more effec tually by a strict adherence to (he Constitution than by a disregard of the limitations and in junctions ol that sacred instrument.

Black and White, ten day>3 ago, there met in the town ot C'hambei-b.irg, what purported to be a "Union" ConvenfTon is, a,C6ajen>w^rV|.(eseping^ the Repuldfcan party and those Democrats (U who deem it tieceasar y for ihe salvation, of the j country to joip hands, for thepiesenl, with that pure am! incorruptible political ofgankurfion. This Convention, in order that the cause ot the Union might be greatly advanced, nominated the Hon. .fa*. Till, of Chamber^urg, for the office ot President Judge of this judicial district, and appointed Conferees to present his claims to some other imaginary " Union" Conferees, who were yet to be chosen. It turns out now, however, (at least there is a welt-founded report to this effect) that the immaculate " Union" Conferees who are to support Judge Kill, deem it nectary to the more certain and infallible salvation of the Republic, that they should meet the f* Republican" from Somerfei, Bedford and Fultpn I A pretty market, tiuly, to which the " Union" Democrats of Franklin county, are sending their "pigs! A delectable least .without cavil,for ■hutgeTv'ill and his friends to partake of! A pretty,"Union" Conference, to he sure, in which the Judicial merits of Jas. Kill are to be compared with those of Alex. King, by a committee composed of eleven_ liße publicans" and one Democrat ! That will be a " Union" Conference—a "Union" of the wolf and the lamb, but very much wolf and very lit tle lamb—a "Union" of black and while, but mostly black! Now, thi unseerhlv, unusual and unnatural mixture means mischief. It portends bargain ami sale. It foreshadows victims. It smells of liaud. Let the people ol the district beware! The Victory at Hatteras. Successes like- that at Cape Hatteras, are worth ten fold more, so far as the restoration of the Union is concerned, than victories won by grand armiys in bloody and obstinate battles in the heart of the Southern country. The re-ta- Ling of the Forts along tiie Southern coast, would have a greater moral effect upon the peo ple ot the Seceded States, than the subjugation of Virginia after a desperate and determined re sistance. This.is evident irom the fact that by invading the Southern country, tha loss to tha Union men of that country is as great, in point of property, as that ol the Secessionists, and consequently gives them but a poor opinion of the war. But the re-possessing of the Federal property along the Atlantic and Gull coasts, would operate only to affect the Secession cause and to re-establish in the Seceded States, the visible authority of the Government. Had not [ the Administration belter turn its attention more particularly to the latter i Bedford Riflemen, Captt T. H. Lyons ahd Lint. S. S.

The "deceased was a highly resoected citizen, and leaves a young wife to mourn his loss, OCt^Amis'.vo—to hear ttie " Republicans" encouraging one another to "slick to the ticket." We were under the impression that there was to be "no more party," and (hat il the Demo crats nominated men whom the "Republicans" acknowledged to be "good Union men," the latter would vote for them. Come, now, no backing out! MONSTER TOMATO—Mr. A. B. Cramer, of this place, exhibited to us, a few days ago, a tomato which weighed two pounds and a half.

I The Theory of or,r Government. I\LU. ELITORV'.— A few days since, J read the following extract, winch deserves the careful consideration, of every American citizen: it h taken from the New York IKor/d, an organ ol the Liucoln Administration, and is as follows: The theory of the United States Govern ment, and of those who uuppeit t in its determination to use the military power to over come armed opposition in certain portions of the country, is that the Union is not dissolved, and that the armed opposition which the Gov ernment has to encounter is rebellion swelled to the proportions of war, and therefore to he put down by ail the a r ls and laws of v ar: that the Constitution of the United Sates is as blading a- ever over every Stale; that all laws in accordance with the Constitution are valuj, and all laws in antagonism with that in strument are an usurpation ami invalid ; that no yhaoge 11a been made in either the laws of Lie States or the Constitution aud laws of the United States-, either by the secession aud its armed and forcible operations, cr by the armed action of the United States: that the armed ac tion of the United States is for the purpose of makiag the enforcement o( those veiy laws practicable ; that properly organized legislative bodies alone can repeal, make or chaogejsws, except iu rasa of the temporary establish meat of a military government; that in that case the military government, does not .repeal, change or ! make laws, but for the time being supersedes the Laws by Us authority,,, that'.he contemplates a state of peace, and that military law is adapted to a state of war, and has tacit or explicit justification in all constitutions and all forms of government when the nation in question is engaged in war." Instead of being the theory of our government, the above is a more conglomeration of fallacies and- mis-sta'emen's. II the Constitution is as binding as ever on every Slate, it must be go over all the people of the States; it must be as binding as ever over those who are sworn to sup port and defend it, and, therefor?, no military necessity can serve as an excuse for the slight-, t.at infringement ypou that instrument. Nat withstanding this, we see its plainest provision* violated almost every day by the A irnini ra tion not only with regard to the seceded hut abo in its treatment of persons inthe loyal Slates. And this is done because, rays the theory," " the Constitution contemplates a state of peace, and military law is adapted to a state of war." Did, then, the framers of the Consti tution imagine that this nviv-born government could grow up and fulfil the course ol its desti ny unmolested by the pioud a-iid jealous nafcu s arcund them ? Tn plain word', did they, net provide for war I If th p y di i not it was'cer tainly a great oversight in them to leave this infant republic without a Constitution in time of war, when a military chieftain might assume the reins of government, and with the plea that mili'ary law is necessary, convert our republi can institutions into a military despotism. If the Constitution c inlemplates a state of peace, : alone, then are all the military acts passed dur ing the date extra session of Congress, togetner with all the other military acts ever passed in the United Slates, in direct antagoiii.ui With that instrument and accoitiing to "the tiiei ry," are "an usurpation aDd invalid." Bui it ;s a J libel upon the illustrious framers of that imtru ment, to say that they did not provide for a state ol war, as well as it is a positive c ... ra diction ol the Constitution itself. Among the powers delegated to Congress, (Art. 1, Sec. 8), are ttiose of declaring v.nr raising and supporting armies—providing and maintaining a navy—making rules for the gov ernment and regulation of the land and naval forces—providing for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, s .ttpprea in surrections sad repel invasions, &.C. Why were these provisions made, if the Constitution contemplates only a state of peace. In fact, the above is not the theory ml our government at all. !Ve will riot deny howev er, that it is the theory of the present adminis tration ; but it was not the theory of JefLrsoo during the Burr rebellion.; i'. was not the tixeo ry of Madison and Polk during the wars through which they carried the nation, with so much honor and success. The thousands of Democrats who willingly and cheerfully support the government, have not such a monarcbial idea of our democratic institution* as to believe that the Congress, or the President and Cabinet constitute the gov ernment. They believe ikat the Constitution is the government, and that these are the mere agents whose duty it is *o make.Jaws in strict Conformity with that instrument, or execute such hws as are in accordance therewith.— They are well aware that the Constitution does not contemplate a state of peace, alone, because it makes provision for war : ami herce the}- mean to hold their agents' responsible for their usurpations of power, in war as well as in peace. They know, too, that the President of the Uni ted States is as much 'subject' to the government as they are, and is as much bound to respect their constitutional tights as thdy nr to respect his v and that it is their duty'ns worthy sons.of illustrious revolutions'v fatti ':" 7 . to statin up f;r thoye rights ami defend them-at every hazard. Minnie Woodherrv J. fj. UNION MEETING. The I," a ion meeting, 011 Thaesjfciy. night, 3d irist-, was presided oyer by Hon. JobjMann, as sisted by a number of Vice Pftgsiwnjts aui-Sec retaries. Speeches were made b_v Judge Kim ruvli, Hon. J. Uugus, Gen. Bowman, J.IL Rush, E?q.,Capt Fill r, Maj. Jordan and Dr. McGirr. The following resolhtionswere adop ted : The hval citizens of Bedford County, in Ma "s A'i-etsng as*emblrd, to deliberate upon the solen n duties and responsibilities which rest upon them in this hour of severe tiial to the Republic, laying aside all former party associ ations, m order to unite in harmonious action for The ' defence of {lie Government founded , under the guidance of Almighty God, by the | wisest and purest patriots, after years at strug ! gle and sacrifice-—a Government which, for ; three quarters of a century, has afforded its be nign nrotection not only to those born on its ; sml, but to those coming from lands beyond the sea: a Government which has never, in the slightest degree, oppressed those who in armed ifDellion, art seeking its destine! ion: a Govern ment which has for its object the elevation of ; humanity, and which is based upon the immu table principles of Right and Justice—do re nd ve and declare 1. That the prese.nt rebellion is utterly without cause, and that we seek in vain to tind its parallel fur atrocity in the jtrast history of nations. 2. That <he ambitious men, who for thirty i yeais have been plotting the overthrow of i Democratic institutions, by their own open i avowal are stiiviog to establish an aristocracy, j by wresting the power from the many and con cent rating t in the handset the few. H. That, while the nation is struggling for its very existence, and our Ire? institutions are imperilled, there can be but one path of duty for us all —lO sustain the Government with men, with money and devoted hearts, that those who fail to give their sympathy and sup port are but abettors of treason, and should be held as recreants to the first instincts of palri ism; because we hold in the language of the venerable Lewis Cass of Michigan that, 'iie who is not for his country is against her. There is no neutral position to be occupied. It is the duty of ail zealously to support the Govern ment in all its effort# to bring this unhappy Civil War to a speedy conclusion." 4. That the war should be prosecuted with the utmost vigor, until our arms are every where triumphant within the limits oi the Un ion; and that there should be no compromise with traitors until tfU cause of the country shall be vindicated, nor until they have dis banded their forces, and returned to their al legiance. 5. That although in tins struggle it may cost vast treasure to sustain, in its original in tegrity, a Government securing the dearest fights of masses, yet, if it should now fall, there must necessarily be built upon its ruins a ty rannical and expensive despotism, which would exhaust by continued taxation the wealth and substance of our people. G. That the thanks of the nation are emi nently due to the brave volunteers who at heavy sacrifices left their homes to defend the honor of the country, and trie principles of free government. 7. That no difference of political opinion, no name or badge of diversity upon points of party distinction shall restrain or withhold us in the devotion of all we have, or can com mand, to the vindication of the Constitution, the maintenance of the Galon, the enforce ment of the laws and the defense of the flag of our country. 8. That we fully endorse the eloquent lan gu.v.e of the late Stephen A. Douglas, who in the last speech of his life when speaking of the rebellion now raised against the Government of our fathers declared, "This is no time for. a detail of causes. The conspiracy is now known. Armies have been rais d, at.d war levied to accomplish it. There are only two sides to the question. Every man must be for the Uuited States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war— only Patriots or Traitors. 9- Tail we delight la approve the senti ments of Joseph flolt of Kentucky, late a mem ber of the Cabinet of Mr Buchanan, in which he declares, '-I am for this Uuioa without con dition?, one and indivisible, now and forever. [ am for its preservation at any arid every cost of blood and treasure, againt all its assail ants--! know no neutrality between my coun try and its foes, whether they be foreign or domestic; no neutrality between Ilia', gloiions flag which now fi its over us and the ingrates and traitors who would trample it in the dust, my prayer is for victory, complete, enduring and overwhelming, to the armies of the Re public over all its enemies. lam against any and every compromise, that may be proposed to be made under t!e guns of the rebels, while at the same lime, I am decidedly in favor of affording every reasonable guarantee for the safely of southern instilutior.s, which the holi est convictions of the people—not the conspir ators —of the South may demand, whenever they shall lay down their arms, but not uolrl then." 10. That wilh equal cordiality do we en dorse and approve of ihe language ol Gen. J. A. D:x of New Yoik, another member ol the Cabinet ol Nlr. Buchanan, i.i which he de clares, ''l am lor supporting the Government, luo not ask who administers it—lt is the gov ernment oi my Country, and as such I shall give it, in this extremity, all the support in my [lower —I regard the pending contest with the scessionists as a death struggle lor constitu tional liberty and Jaw—a contest, which if successful on their part, could only end in the establishment ola despotic Government and blot out, wher ever they are in the ascend ant, every vestige of national freedom." 11. That we agree with the late President ol the United States, Franklin Pierce, when he deciared, "There is no lime now to consult our feelings. The question has resolved itself into one ol patriotism and stern duty. There is now no way for us as citizens, but to stand to gether and uphold the flag to the last, with all the rights which pertain to it, and with the fi delity and endurance of brave men, 1 would counacl you to stand .ogether with one mind and one heart—calm—faithful and determin ed." And also with that patriotic statesman of New York, Hon. Dan'i S. Dickenton, when he declares "when the citadel of our country ; s on fire, w hen the. edifice that Washington and Franklin and their associates elected, is in flames, it becomes lis, whatever may have been our political proclivities before, to rhe far a bove ail oilier considerations, and to keep this citadel fronj destruction—l canmit afford | to turn away*from MIV duty because a j-oliti- j ca! opponent is acting with me, tinr to slay hack from a duty because a political frit up de- ! serfs great duty. I hold it to be the fust duty of every ciHfceftk of evpey party, lo aid in n "tar ing this great and good Gotiennnernt." 12. That the present struggle involves the very existence of civil and reiigi .us liberty not only in our country and upon this cor.ti- j nent, but throughout the world—that it is the Constitution—Hie Union and the Government as our lathers made them on the one hand, and the tyranny, despotism and anarchy of, Davis and his allied tiaitors on the other—} that it is our duty to preserve, defend and per- | petuate to the latest generation these sacred I lJU4|s uf pur Jalberi. Liiooo anu treasure, were , pouted out to establish them they shall not be bas-iy surrendered to spare either the bob or the other.
