agreeable duty for me to perform, provided the tact* would justify, than could the converse. Mr. Speaker, I have not deemed it proper to discuss the merits of the act upon which this resolution is based. I have chosen to re serve anything I may have to say on that sub ject until the bill tor the repeal of that act corr.es up for the action ot the House. : I shall then hold myself prepared to demonstrate, be yond the possibility of cavil that the repeahof the tonnage tax, with kindred measures which have been carried through the Legislature, within the past two or three years, has taken from the people some eighteen or twenty tnii lionsol dollars, and bestowed it upon two cor porations. But, as I have before intimated, this ques tion does nut, in my judgment, arise here.— Let us then, sir, have this committee. It is demanded by every consideration of justice, patriotism and public doty, and I trust that we shall not be driven from our purpose by the jhitlcriHK ot v>oun(ted p'v'on.i, either in the other end of the Capitol or elsewhere- BEDFORD GAZETTE. ILLN. (Jim W N KEBFOStI?, Pa.— FRIDAY FEB. 7. 1862- B. F. Ueyera, Editor & Proprietor. DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING. The Democrats of Bedford County are hpru bv requested to assemble in MASS MEETING, at the Court House, jn Bedford, on MONDAY EVENING, FED. 10777, as required be the rub s of the party. A full attendance is expected. Addresses will be de livered by a number of speakers. Democrats, to the rescue! JOHN S. SCHELL, C/nirm in Dem. Co. Com. Cameron's Appointees. Nearly every one ol the fledgling buzzards taken under the sheltering wing ol that great Winnebago bird, the late Secretary of War, remains snugly seated U|>OTI his official perch, just as though nothing had happened and Simon didn't "point down." Like the leeches found in muddy creeks that stick to the limb as long as there is blood to be diawn, these rapacious vermin chug to to the Treasury, no matter what occura around them, entirely impervious to honor and shame, and determined only to draw the last dime out of Uncle Sam's pocket. When their friend and benefactor, (he Hon. Wiggle Waggle, was deposed by the President, if they had had any esteem for his memory or any respect for themselves, they would at least have resigned. But the jingle of new dollars and more lately the rustling rattle of treasury notes afforded a charm that wrought upon their moral sensibilities with irresistible effect. JOR DAN, TACGART St Co., though very unselfish in their patriotism, especially when making political speeches and denouncing what they styled the "corruption of the Buchanan dy nasty," could not resign to revenge poor Cam eron, whilst such delicious music fell upon their ears. Perhaps, (00, they had some doubt as to whether their resignation would be such a loss to Abraham as to constitute the proper degree of vengeance lor the slain Winnebago. Or, per contra, their intense love of country, per haps, would not allow them to inflict so great a sacrifice Upon the Republic at tlrs critirial time. But should they desire to resign, ill our opinion Cameron's appointees ought to be re tained in office. There is nothing like uniform ity ol action in military affurs. The war fur lhe Union could not go on so rapidly and suc cessfully if Cameron's money-changers were hurled out ol the Temple ol Liberty. Uni formity would be gone. A link in the great chain that is to bind the Union together, would be broken. Officers might dash into ambus cades and make reconnoisances in force in railroad cars, sutlers might carry on their usu rious crime against soldiers, contractors might sell the Government ling-bone and spavin by the ton, Wells might "let" and Morgan "op erate," lut the pay masterships would no longer co-operate in the grand effort for the suppies sion of rebellion and the restoration of peace and liberty to the South. We think, therefore, that Cameron's appointees had better not re sign. Fur the good of the countiy, thpy should not he allowed to do so. The harmony ol things about the Federal Capital must not b disturbed. Ye who carp st the doings of con tractors, keep off your sacrilegious hands! Ye whose faith in Alex. Cumtr.ings and Geo. D. Morgan, would not remove mountains, touch not the holy alliance! Uniformity is unity! Jolerference with office holders, death! Sudden bt-atb- We are pained to record the death of Ser geant ALEXANDER CROFT, of Captain Brisbiu's company, (now stationed mar Cuinherland, Md.,) which look place alter an illness of tit hours, at the Bedford Hotel, in this place, on Wednesday evening last. His disease is sup posed' to have been brain fever. We were well acquainted with the deceased soldier, and in common with a targe circle of friends and ac quaintance, sincerely regret his untimely loss. 11 He sleep! hie lasl slap, he has fought his last battle, No sound shall await htm to glory again !" TUB BLAIAGYILLE RECORD establishment it for sale. The Record is the only Democratic paper in Indiana county. OCR PAPER is delayed somewhat by being o bliged to wait tor the copy ot tbe Auditor* Report. Abolition Blasphemy. The Pine and Palm, a leading organ ot the emancipationists, edited by JAMBS RBDPATU ot Kansas and John Brown notoriety, contains some ot'the most infamous and impious blas phemy that ever stained the pages of a licen tious press. We cannot pollute our columns witti specimen? of the more offensive of its arti cles but give the following, without comment, as a sample|of the milder effusions ot its writers: ''Will you, Messrs. Unionists, not leave off your mouthings, your platitudes about the Con stitution and Thricn, your squinting towards Emancipation as a pis alter and begin to be in earnest? Can you not drive benentn the Con stitution and sow above the. Union, to rescue Liberty from the surges of despotism, and to place the rights of man upon an immovable ba sis? We tell you, sirs,there is but one issue, that ol Slavery or Freedom—do not then en deavor to conceal it under the euphemism# Re bellion and Union; IT IS CRIMINAL—there is but one alternative, universal liberty or com plete despotism. The despised negro, in the name of God and Liberty, lias long demanded his right, and God, in answer to his prayer, now grunts the harvest of Ins oppressors' syste matized wrong, by the infliction of that most appalling scourge, civil war. Will you not now release him? He is the bit'.er ingredient in the cup which even handed justice com mends to the lips of a nation recreant to its vows, ami faithless to its trust as standard-bear er in the advance of civil and religious freedom. LET IT DRINK! and in the bitter drangfit real!?.. i|ie enormity of its c inip, and the det cstation with which the off-nded majesty of Heaven regards its impious affence." ONLY 75.001)! Mr. GIDEON WELLES, Secretary of the Nary, sayi the Clinton Democrat , has submitted to Congress a statement, longer than s President's message, defending himself against the impli cations of fraud contained in the report of the Van VVvck Committee. He admits that the Government tvas outrageously swindled in a number of cases; but. denies that he had any agency in these transactions. He defends the operations of Mr. GEORGE D. MORGAN, of N> w York, as advantageous and an actual saving to the Government in the purchase of vessels. Mr. MORGAN himself denies that he made $95,000 in three months from commissions. He only made $75,000! Accident. This has been, so far, a remarkable winter for sleet and ice—the pavements especially, and even the streets, being in such condition as to require the greatest caution on the part of pedestrians. It i 9 fortunate thai more acci dents have not occurred. Dili it is our unpleas ant duty in this connection, to record one of a painful nature, which happened .to our estimable friend and fellow-townsman, HON. W. T. DAUGUCRTV, as he was returning to his resi dence on the evening of the 25th ult.—the frac ture of his leg near the ankl- 1 joint. We are gratified, however, to be able to stale to his numerous Iriends that he is doing well, and that he hopes to be up. again before many days have passed. Andrews, who was imprisoned in Buffalo for counterfeiting A YER'S PILLS, lias now been indicted in Toronto, with one G. C. Briggs of Hamilton, C. VV., for conspiring to defiauil the public by their nefarious pursuit. Impris onment, though it be for years, can scarcely punish enough the heartless villain who could execute such an imposition upon the sick. The wicked tascal who, for paltry gain, could thus trifle with the life and health of his fellow man lake ficm his lips the cup of hope while jink ing, and substitute an ulier delusion and cheat, would falter at no crime and should be spared no punishment. Some ol his trash is still ex tant and purchasers should be wary of whom they buy. [ Guzctle Ulieu, eV. y.] The Bedford Contested Seat. The committee tn whom was referred the matter of the contested seat between Mr. Cess-| na and Jli Householder, in the Bedford and Somerset legislative district, by a vote ot six to j nine, reported in favor of Mr. C-'ssna,and week before last lie was sworn in. The ground of i the-contest was the fact that tiie Constitution guaranteed to each County ia existence at the j time of its formation and'amendment, a separ- | ate representation, and that Bedford County j being in existence at that time, could not be ; united in a legislative district, against her will with any other County, and thus be deprived of j her representation byjany legislative provision. Convinced of the justice of his cause, Mr.Cessna prepared an elaborate, powei ful and unanswera ble argument, and submitted it to the House of Reprisentatives; and although some of tile committee who tried the case did not sign the majority report, they were yet unwilling to "bring in a report of their own, saying they had not yet fully made up their minds. All the members seem now to admit the justice and fairness of Mr." Cessna's position; while the press ol the State generally endorse it— Chamberslturg Timet. [For the Gazette.] CAMP CUIITIN, Jan. '27. Lt>2. Mr. Editor: Our company tras been for .some time taring sumptuously, as a consequence of a most extraordinary treat from the citizens of Colerain Tp., in the shape of a number of boxes, seemingly about bursting wiih tbe luxurious dainties which they contained. The open boxes, however, made an iinpos- : ing scene that was really inviting; (here were the best served turkeys and chickens, sausage truly tempting to tile appetite, from 60 to 70 lbs, of line golden butler, the most magnificent sweet-cakes, the finest pies and scores of other articles that would have done honor to the ta ble ol Dives. For all this festal enjoyment we are indebt ed, in great part, to John Shoemaker, whohad the exquisite kindness to collect the articles and bring them to camp, and partly, to the good peopled Rainsburg and vicinity, who so kind ly remembered us in their liberal donations. It was not a dinner but a series of dinners. There is certainly nothi.sg more cheering to a .volunteer abroad, than for him to feel that he is not forgotten at home; that there are kind hearts {here whose sympathies are still with him hearts that throb in anxious' solicitude at his privations. Then, 100, these feasts contrast so beautifully with the usual crackers and bacon. But do not inter, for an instant, that we wish to enter a complaint against our rations, not by any means; it is not that we love our crackers and bacon the less, but because we love turkeys, occ., more. Be this as it may, we as a company, shall j ever look back on the citizens of Colerain, j with the happie.-t reminiscences. Perhaps the only return we will be able 1 to make for all these favors, is, to do our duty 1 studiously in the service of our country, which j we shall cerlanly endeavor to do. J. H. L The Tax Bill- It was understood that the tax hill is now be ing peifected in its details by the Committee ol Wa\s and Means. It proposes a moderate j rate of taxation upon most ot the articles' of ; necessary consumption, higher rates on distill- ; ed liquors and other articles of luxury; legacies ' and probates, on passengers, by railroads and ' other conveyances, newspapers and telegraphic; messages. From these sources, taken in con- j nection with the tarifi'on imports,it is confi- j dually expected after the most careful investi-, gatio.i, that the Government will derive a revenue of at l j ast S>J 50,000,000. This tax j will give to the United Slates bonds a sure specie paying security. The Committee have; also considered the subject of a national banking law, which will require the deposit ol United; States stock as security for the Bank notes that are circulated as currency. The Attempt to Instruct Our Senators in Hie Grigk: Case. An error occurred in our report ot the pro-; ceedings of the house of Thursday last in at-j tribu'.ing to Mr. Cessna the motion to procopd ! to the consideration of the resolutions instruct- j ing the Senators from this State l<* vote for the expulsion of Jesse D. Bright. Mr. Cessna re- j corded his vote with the majority against ta king up the resolution. The mor" we .-effect upon the passage of sim ilar resolutions by the Senate, the more con firmed are we in the conviction that the act was a gross outrage —ami this with out refer-, ence to the propnty or impropriety ol Mr. i Blight's expulsion from the United States Sen-; ate. This is a question exclusively for lite j body ol which Mr. Bright is a member—a ques- j tiori which it alone is competent to decide in view of all the facts and circumstances of the case. The Legislature of Pennsylvania lias no i moral or constitutional light to meddle in the i matter, or attempt to influence the decision one i way or the other. The Constitution declares that the House shall b? the judge ol the quali fications of its'own members for disorderly be | l.avior, and with the concurrence of two thirds, i expel a menber. It is under the authority con j ferred by this section that the U. S. Senate is j acting in lb ■ proceedings against Mr. Bright. The Constitution assumes that each branch of Congress is the proper guardian ot its own purity and honor. It is a great siretch ol im pertinence lor members ot the Legislatuie to undertake to control the action ol Senatorson a question that oelongs exclusively to the latter.— Patriot and Union. FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL 01' THE AFRICA NEW YORK, Jan. 31. —The steamer Alrira has arrived wilh Liverpool advices, via Queens town, to tiie 19th inst. The prohibition against the exportation of saltpetre, has been removed. It is reported that Lord Russell has sent a de spatch to the Federal Government hoping that the stone blockade will not be perpetrated at any other port. [.SECOND DESPATCH.] The Commissions of Cus'.oms haste received orders to permit the tree exportation ol all ar ticles against which a prohibition was recently issued. It ia repotted that Earl Russell, in a response . to a memorial from the Liverpool Ship-owners | Association relative' to the stone blockade ol Charleston, said he sent a despatch in Decern- I her, warning the American Government against iheili leeiiug the proceeding would engender, and that it would lead to the opinion that the reconstruction of the Union was considered hopeless. After the design was carried out he sent another despatch expressing strong hopes that it would not be repeated elsewhere. It is rumored also that the French and other Governments are taking similar steps. The Morning i'o >/ rejoices at the general condemnation of the act. and savs it is rousing European Governments to a common sentiment of indignation, and asks why more forbearance is shown America than was the case when Bel gium was recognized, particulaily as Holland was never guilty -of the barbarities to omitted by the Washington Cabinet ? The Duty A'ews, in reviewing Mr. Seward's I Trent despatch, 6ays that, although it contains j much that is questionable in law, iis main posi | lions are correctly based on acknowledged j principle s. | More diplomatic correspondence has been pnb ! lished, including a letter from Secretary Sew | ard to the Secretary ol the Navv condemning ' in strong terms the fact that the Captain ol Uie I Hiitish schooner James Campbel! was taken in | o New York with the Biitish Hag flying under j that of the United States, and another note con demning the act ol in American ommander in ; i xacting an oath from three British seamen cap j tured for a bleach of tire blockade that they j would not undertake a similar proceeding again. I The seamen are released Irom the obligation oi the oath. ]t is reported that when Minister Dayton ! submitted the names of twenty or thirty Amer i cans to Count Thouvenel lor presentation to the ' Emperor, on New Year's day, the latter inqui ' red as to the character of the Americans, and ! Mr. Dayton replied that they were all eligible j lor presentation to the President ol the United : States. The result, according to the report was, 1 that no Americans were at the recepiion. The La lf*i. | LONDON, Jan. 10.—The Observer suggests the expediency of ttie intervention of France anJ iSngUhd between t tie Federals and G mreder a tea of America. It says such an act would'bt j approved by the whole world, and inlerventioi I j would he gladly accept-"! by both t. lev. ■ I The Persia arrived at Liverpool on the I" 1 ' i and the Niagara at Queen'town on the 19th MADRID, Jan. 9.— The Sumter, having order i by the Spanish Government to leave Cadiz, ha • gone to Gibraltar. PARIS, Jan. 19. —The Journal ties Dehals. thinks that Palmerston's intentions toward the j United States are not pacific. The Temps in announcing that Mason and i Slid-'II were expected at Havre says no obstacle will be offered to the fulfilment ot their mission to France and England. The plenipotentiaries i of the South will be allowed to plead lor the recognition of the South. The Presse says the French Government will rpceive neither Mason nor S'ideli, nor any other Southern Commissioners. The Independence Retire says that France will assume the initiative in the remonstrance a gainst the blockade of the Southern ports, and England will only afford France moral support. VIENNA, Jan. 19.—1t is reported that Iresh negotiations have been opened between Austria and Hungary. PARIS, Jan. 19. —The Monileur says that the partisans in England for the recognition ol the South are increasing, and no doubt there are many advocates of the measure in Parliament. FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA. Muulcipal Election in Wheeling, l'a.— Triumph of (lie Conservatives. WHEELING, Va., Jan. 27 1862. The municipal election at Wheeling, was held on Monday last. A legular Union ticket had been nominated by the Union clubs, which was defeated, as to the important officers of Mayor, City Sergeant and Treasurer,- by unu sually large majorities; A. J. Sweeney receiv ing 951 votes for Mayor, and J. W. Panton (Union) receiving 6(13 votes. Smith McDon ald, for City Sergeant, had a majority ot 334 votes over John Bishop (Union,) and R. W. Harding a majority of 4-U votes over James McConnell the Union nominee for Treasurer. The result of this election see.n9 to he pregnant ot meaning, as indicative of the political senti ments of the citvof Wheeling in this crisis. The Sumter. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. —Four Federal steam ers and three sailing vessels are now on the a lert to capture the Confederate steamer Sumter, and the ship-of war Constitution is now fitting out at Portsmouth for a similar purpose. Seve ral national ships are lying in port for want of seamen, about 4,030 of whom are now needed by the Navy Department, while Flag Officer Foole is in want of about 1,033 lor service in the Western waters. The New England fish ermen, it seems, have in large numbers entered the army, there being a slight excess of pay over thai of the navy, but in other respecU no advantages. The War Debt. Mr. Spaulding, of New York, told the House ; of Representatives on Tuesday that the nation- j al debt will amount next July to $650,000,000, | and in July 1863, if the war continues, to j $1,200,000,000. These estimates are consid erably higher than those made by Mr. Chase in | December, and as they are made in view of la- i ter developments, are probably more correct. I Tie Relief for Unioa Prisoners. Bihop Ames and Hamilton Fish, the com-; rnissioners to visit the Confiderate Slates to | look after the well-being of our prisoners, had ; on interview at the War Department to-day ; with Mr. Stanton and the Adjutant-General. They started "this evening for Fortress Monroe, ' where the negations with the Confederate au- j thorities for the commissioner's reception will j be conducted through Gen. Wool. A pcti- j lion is in circulation am >ng Congressmen k>- | the appointment of Alfred Ely as third com missioner. The Remains of Col. Cameron, A request has been preferred through Gen. j Wool, to the Confederate military authorities J in Richmond, to permit an agent to visit the j field of' Bull Run to obtain the remains of Col. j James Cameron, and bring them to Pennsyl- i vania. His brother Simon is loth to go to Rus- ; sia until he has performed this sacred duly.
