BEDFORD GAZETTE. ®. P. MEYERS, EDITOR. JOHN PALMER, AEIISTART. FRIDAY : : i MARCH 18, 18G4. nessra^ 11 "J" 1 What They Promised. THE.FSIENDS or Gov. CURTIN PROMISED THE PEO PLE THAT If THEY WOULD RE-ELECT HIM, THE WAR WOHLp BSD IN 30 DATS AND THERE WOULD BE NO MORE SRATTIN. HOLS THEM TO THEIR PROMISES. The Coming Campaign. The quest ions to be decided in the next presidential campaign are: Sliall this Union be restored ? Shall it be re-constructed on a new plan ? there be a separation between the"North and the South? These •re questions that interest every man, wo man and child in the country, both North •nd South. . Let us suppose that the Democrats will .elect the next President; and that the South '.by that time should be thoioughly tired of 'fhe war. The new President might take jiis seat, and change the entire policy of the present administration. He might (his .party being in a large majority in the North) offer them terms, such as would be honor able both to the North and to them. He might offer to guarantee their rights under the old constitution, and offer pardon to all except the ring-leaders; and, if they are taken, let them be tried by the law, and if they are found guilty of treason let them be punished! either by death or imprisonment, as a sound policy shall dictate. Confiscate their property during their lives according to the constitution; and, at their death, let it revert to their children who have not been attainted by treason. Let them, if they see fit, retain the institution of slavery.— They are not fighting for slavery—they are fighting for the principle, that the states have a right to make their own local laws and "regulate their own domestic affairs in their own way." Let the President even grant this. He can do it without compro mising either Republican or Democratic principles. Let him grant amnesty and ,nrtin hum nnt an oath to "jsuport, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States," and re nounce their allegiance to the Southern con federacy. Let us suppose now that all these terms were offered by a president who had Borne show of power to guarantee them; would it not, go further towards restoring the Union than all the niggfer proclamations •ver issued by the present incumbent, or that ever will be issued by him unless they should embody the principles set forth above? If a Democratic President were elected, could not this be done? Of course, they would, in case they acoegted these terms, have to assume their share of the national debt; and this would be no heavier than their own. If they were to accept these terms and eome back by repealing their secession or dinances, and electing Senators and Con gressmen. they could hereafter help protect themselves—not by a vote of one-tenth of their populatioon, but, perhaps, by nine tenths. It is our honest opinion, that if ever the Union is restored , it must be done "by this plan and no other. The history of the world shows no exam pis where from five to eight millions of free people were ever subjugated, and made to submit wholly to the terms offered them by their enemies;—no matter how much supe rior they may have been. On the contrary, it shows that, no matter how powerful a people may have been who have undertaken to invade and conquer another, of anything like the extent or population of the South, they have always had to compromise to some extent in the end. Supposing now, that the Union could be thus restored, what hon est Republican, who really loves the Union more than the nigger, would refuse to help restore it on these terms? It ia true, no Abolitionist will ever vote to restore the Union. He wants reconstruc tiim, which means a new form of govern ment, on some lair-brained, transcendental theory, beyond the pale of practicability; and which shall not only guarantee the ne gro freedom, but political, and social equal ity. In short, a government in which the aegro should be, jiot only the peer, but the superior, of the white man—voting at the elections, filling all the responsible offioes, and eves marrying and intermarrying with the whites. He looks forward to the mil lennium of "miscegenation," "when there shall be no black no white, but all shall be ana color, one flesh and one bone." lie Wants a government to suit this fantastic. supposititious being, that nerer had an ex istence, and never will have, anywhere out side the cracked brains and disturbed fan cies of such men as Garrison, Pliiilips and Greeley. We repeat that, if the Union is to be re stored it must be done by the election of a Democratic President, who will pursue the fine of policy laid down above,*r there is no longer any hope. If, on the other hand, | the Republicans re-elect Abraham Lincoln, or elect Fremont, there will be neither a restoration nor a re-construction; but the final and eternal separation of the North and South will follow. Or, if we should be mistaken, and a re-construction should take place by mere force of arms; neither the North nor the South will be inhabita ble, for any one having either the principles of a freeman or the skin of a V.'hite man. We ask our Republican friends—we mean those who arc not cra2y with war, drunk with blood, or gorged with "greenbacks"— and they arc very few in number—to take these things into consideration seriously!— We want them to think and reason the mat ter for the good of the and not for tffe good of their party. If we elect a sound Democratic President there is yet hope to save tins Union —if we fail, then this war will not be ended finally for the next four years; £nd debt, taxation, con scription and the shedding of more blood will follow. And, what is to be dreaded most of all, either separation or despotism. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. No. 7. ' HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES, 1 HAHRISUURQ, Feb. 29, J REAR GAZETTE: Legislation is now progressing quite brisk ly, the machinery of both houses being in good working order. The Abolition Senators have at last abandoned the position which they held for the last two months, viz : that yhe Speaker of the last Senate is the Speaker of the present one. This is a great triumph for the Democratic Sen ators and a complete vindication of the correct ness of their position. If Mr. Penny was the lawful pressing officer of the Senate for the past two months, as claimed by the Abolition members of that body, why did he not continue to preside without a rc-clection ? The truth is thnt the miserable pretence that the Speaker of the last Senate is the Speaker of the present one, was set up only to enable the Abolitionists to have an election held in the Indiana district. It was a "military necessity" on the part of the men who seized the control of the Senate. The exigency now having passed, they abandon their opposition to precedent and law, and virtually un *rv ednestfay last, .ViV: i-enriy was elected •peaker. The vote stood for Ponr.y 17; for Clymer 16. „ The bounty bill has passed the House, nnd, I presume, will soon be through the Senate. There are now three hundred and fifty-six bills on the file of the House and ninety-four on that of the Senate, many of which have already been considered and passed. There is a proposition before the Legislture to remoro tho capitol to Philadelphia. IVhat its fate will be, lam un able to Bay. There is nothing new in politics, except that Secretary Chase is said to have withdrawn from the Presidential canvass. I should not be sur prised if this declination of the Marquis of Greenbacks, will, in the end, turn out to be a poor imitntion of the great Roman, who, '-on the Lupercal," thrice refused the imperial crown. On the other hand the Frenfont men are gain ing ground day by day. A new paper in their interest, has been started in New York city. It is calfcd the New Nation. The N. York Tribune also opposes the re-nomination of Mr. Lincoln. Tho New Hampshire election, as was anticipa ted, resulted in favor of the Abolitionists. Tho granite State has not been Democratic since 1852 twelve yearß ago—and "from present ap pearances, has not much notion of returning to the love of her earlier days. Hut "time sets all things even and it cannot be but that oven in fanatic New England, Abolitionism and "Miscegenation" will succumb, sooner or later, to the true interests and dignity of the white man- * B. F. M. Senatorial Conference. The Conferees from the Senatorial District composed of the counties of Huntingdon, Bed ford and Somerset, met at the Mangel House in the borough of Bedford, on Wednesday, the 9th day of March, 18G4, and organized by call ing Col. Andrew Johnson to the chair, and ap pointing Isaac Mengcl and William Foster, sec retaries. The following named gentlemen appeared and were admitted to compose tho conference : Huntingdon—Col. Andrew Johnson, Major John S. Miller and David C. Gates, Esq. Bedford—lsaac Mcngel, William Foster and John P. Reed, Esq., substitute for William Gil lespie, Esq. Somerset—J. D. Roddy, Esq., A. J. Colborn, Esq., and George F. Baer, Esq., represented by Wm. J. Baer, Esq. On motion of Mhjor Miller, the Conference proceeded to elect a Senatorial Delegate to rep resent the district in the ensuing Democratic State Convention. J. P. Reed, Esq., nomina ted Hon. William P.

On motion of Mr. Reed, the officers of the meeting were directed to exeouto and deliver to Mr. Sehell tho proper credentials. On motion, adjourned. ANDREW JOHNSON, Prcs't, ISAAC MENGW, 1,, . . WM. FOSTER. | S *°* URlE *' For tkt Gazette. J The Wood Ordinance. MK. EDITOR : Permit me to ask my fellow citizens, through the medium of your, paper, before they allow themselves to be influenced by the persistent ef fort of a few to prevent the successful operation of the Ordinance for the Inspecting and Meas uring of wood, to view with candor the action of the Council and tho causes that inlluenced them i to examine carefully tho law, in order ■ to ascertain whether it requires amendment, or j has any defects that can lie remedied; and also 1 to consider whether the condition of affairs lias ' changed since its passage. Whether our opinion of the law and its operating is favorable or un favorable, We must admit that the Council in passing the Ordinance could not have been gov erned by any other motive than that o1 duty; and tliut they acted under the well founded be lief that it was for the best interest of the Bor ough, und in accordance with the wishes of a large majority of the citizens. It lias been for many years, Iho general remark and frequent complaint, (and with reason) that tho uncertain and irregular quantity of wood in loads, caused us to pay unfair prices; that the custom compell ed us to pay according to the numderoi horses, without due regard to the quantity. Many re flections have been cast on the Council for not adopting some measure that would secure to the purchaser (what he has an mid,.ubted right to demand) the quantity; and at the same time do justice to the vendor. These reflections were just, for it is the sworn duty of the Council to pass such laws as the true interest of Borough de mands. At the time the Ordinance was passed the rapid increase in the price of wood made it imperative that some measure should ho adopted to secure to the purchaser a regular quantity. The mode directed by appears to be the only practical one by which it can be ac complished, for it requires that each load shall lie measured and inspected by a person appoint ed for that purpose,' whose duty is not only to measure, hut to inspect. The plain construction of which is, that he is to make reasonable deduc tions for uneven loading, intentional or other wise; this certainly embraces all that is required. To charge tho Ordinance with causing the ad vance in tiie price, when every article we use had gone up, from one hundred to one hundred anp fifty per cent, is certainly very unfair; and as the condition of affairs has not changed, un less it be for the worse, prices still ranging high er, to expect by its repeal to lower the price, is, to say the least, very short sighted; the only prob able reduction would be in the quantity. Let us give to this, among the first laws for the regulation of our Borougli Market a fair trial; considering that all new measures require lime to put them into successful operation and expe rience to amend them understandingly; being mindful that the question from the circumstan ces that have attended it, is of greater importance and call for. a more serious consideration than it otherwise would, and that the consequences that are certain to flow from our decision will have a strong bearing on our future Borough govern ment. We have had rights guaranteed, and priviligcs granted, by our Charter and by tho laws of the State, for the good government of the Borough, and the interest of its citizons, the claiming and exercising of which can do in justice to none. Are we, having concluded to pass a law in accordance with these chartered rights and privileges, to he prevented from car rying it out by persons from outside combina icu: r, uS a citizen, having in view the respect due to our ancient charter and the future wel are of the Borough, protest against establishing so unworthy a precedent. A CITIZEN. For the Bedford Gazette, Salaries of County Superintendents. "The salaries of County Superintendents are payable out of the gross amount of tho State appropriation. Each is not paid out of the a mount or dividend df State appropriation com ing to his proper county." (Sec School Laws page 81.) The above extract from the School Law states a fact that should, by this time, be well under stood, but there still seems to be considerable misapprehension with regard to it. Many still think the Superintendents' salary is deducted from the appropriation coming to the county, or that iii some way or other it increuses their taxes. Owing' inninly to these mistaken views, the salaries in a tew of the counties have al ways been miserably low, while in others where the matter has been better understood, the sal aries have always been high enough, and in some instances too high. This matter should .be well understood by the Directors and people of our county. 1 he salary of the County Superintendent does not affect taxation in any way whatever', nor does it in this county diminish to any consider able extent, the State appropriation belonging to the county, It is paid by the whole State out of the State Treasury, and not by the coun ty nor out of any moneys "belonging to the eountv. The county pays its share of the salary as well as the rest of the State, but this share is a very small ono. It the office were abolished in the county the five hundred dollars now paid to the Superintendent would be divided not among tho taxables of tho county but among the texablcs of the whole State, the county receiving only Its share in proportion to the number of'taxables residing in it. A very simple calculation will Bliow bow little of this salary is really paid by tho county, and how little the county would gain by abolishing the office, or lose by increas ing tho salary five hundred dollars. The num ber of taxables in the State is 612,291. Five hundred dollars distributed among them will give to each .00077. The number of taxables in this county is 6,037. Heneo our share of the $5OO would be only $1.65; and if the sal ary were increased $5OO tho State appropriation coming to this county would he diminished only $4.65. Bedford or any othor poor county lias a much larger number of taxable in proportion to its wealth than the richer parts of the State. Honce when money is taken from the State Treasury and distributed at a certain sum per taxable, the richer counties are always the losers and the poorer connties the gainers. Salaries of Su perintendents are paid in this way: and yet tho outcry against the office and the opposition to it have always been most prevalent in the poor er counties like our own, where the office is least burdensome and ought to be most popular. The salary in this county jias always been n mong the lowest in the Stnte. Other counties have from tho first paid two, three, and sotne of them four times as much as Bedford In pro portion to the work to be done.

From the Leioietoton True Demoerat, Eev. Mr, Kepler's Withdrawal. During the late sitting of the East Baltimore Conference of tho Methodist Episcopal Church, ; 1 fins many fAentW in" | his resignation, and received an honorable dis missal from the communion of the church. Tho story that Mr. K's course was prompted by a fear of excommunication, which some malicious persons are endeavoring to circulate, is, we nrc assured, utterly false. For the information of the public we print Mr. Kepler's letter of resig nation in full: To the members of East Hal/tin ore Annual Con ference. Dear Brethren ! For several years past I have thought, and have comfhlentialy stated my im pressions to a few friends, that a crisiß might ar rive in the history of the Methodist Episcopal I Church which would make it my duty to ter ! minute my ministerial relations to thisconfer -1 once, although composed of a body of men whcJm 1 1 have long and devotedly loved. : I was strongly influenced at your last session jto carry out this purpose. Yet, as my appoint- I mcnt for the past year was to say the least, one | of some peculiarity, I determined, although ad j vised by friends to a contrary course, to go to ! my work in spirst ofi christian meekness, per form the duties assigned mo and then with hu mility and in the fear of the Lord to retire from any further connection with the Methodist Epis copal Church, Allow me then, dear brethern, in all good conscience nnd in the spirit of kind ness and love, to send you this paper as contain ing my resignation as a member of the East Bal timore Apnual Conference. Under other cir cumstances it would have been my highest hap piness to have lived, and labored and died with you, as a "Worker together'' in tho glorious Ministry of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. And T will not v now disguise the fact, that I have realized much of Christian enjoyment and also numerous testimonials of brotherly affec tion, in t:.e society and sympathies of tho mem bers both of tho Baltimore and East Baltimore Conferences, during a term of thirty-seven years connexion with these two ecclesiastical bodies. Nor do I take leave of you now, without deep, heart-felt emotion ; without profound gratitude to tho "God of all grace," that he permits mft in his 'Wonder-working Providence, in looking back upon the years that are past, to give glo ry nnd praise to his holy name, that in the va rious fields of labor in which my imperfect.Min istry has been exercised, I have witnessed the conversions to God of more than two thousand precious and immortal souls. I feel that lam unworthy to have been thus privileged, and I feel, also, that "it is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy." Begging, dear brethern, that you will throw over tho many imperfections you have found me to betray in my holy calling, as a Min ister of Christ, the beautiful mantle of heaven born charity, I have in conclusion to say, in all Christian frankness, and in all good conscience before God, that as, after an examination of a long series of years, with an honest desire to know and obey God's most holy word,-my views . and convictions respecting the relation of master < and servant, as contained in the Bible, are utter ly, and I must say irreconcilably opposed to i those which now govern the great body of the M. E. Church, and which doctrines I cannot ' preach without being a dissembler before the 1 Lord : while in saying thus much, I pretend to judge no man, but only speak honestly and fear lessly for myself, and thus commit the justifica- 1 tion of my own course to the unfolded pleasure of a future Providenoe, I feel now I have no other duty to perform iu this writing, than elm ply to respectfully request that you may lie pleas ed to direct my name to bo noted as withdrawn upon your journal®. With the assurance of many prayers fyr your spiritual progress, nnd requesting a continued interest in your supplications to God on my own behalf, l am, dear bretliern, Yours, very truly nnd respectfully, SAMUEL KEI'LEk MoConnellsburg, Fulton co., I'a., j November 18th, 1803. J The State Senate. The Senate of Pennsylvania is at length* le gally organized. On Wednesday last, the Sen ator from Allegheny. Mr. Penney, left the Chair, which he had occupied for over two months in palpable violation of a plain provision of the Constitution, as interpreted by the unvarying practice of sixtv years, and was then regular ly elected Speaker ; all the other Abolition Senators, nnd his Democratic competitor, Mr. Clymer—l7, voting for Mr. Penney, and all the Democratic Senators (Mr. Clymer excepted) anil Mr. Penney—l6, voting for Mr. Clymer, tho Democratic caucus candidate. This tardy , act of submission by the Abolition majority to ! law, precedent, right and justice, was not vol : notary; but was forced upon them by the posi | tion of affairs on Tuesday, when by the absence | of one of their number (Mr. Connell) and the I refusal of the Democratic Senators to meet i them, the Senate was left, without a quorum. ! Hut, whether they yielded willingly or upon compulsion, the fact that they have yielded is a complete vindication of the position which was taken by the Democratic Senators at the open ing of the session, and which, to their honor bo it said tlicy steadfastly maintained to the very last. tho Deiboeratic Senators have issued an able and conclusive Address to the people of the State in justification of their course.

This was a necessity. —The tri fling number of Unionists had to be added to. A Washington paper says tho small pox seems to be making its appearance all over the country.
