Sure enough, where are they? Let us endeavor to en lighten the anxious Gazette a littie. As our readers will remember, the hill for a re newal of the charter of the United States Rank was vetoed by Genl. Jackson during hU Presidential term, more than iventy j years ago. Since then there has been no ;U. S. Bank. It has been as dead to all in ' tents and purposes, as the embargo law of the late war. Notwithstanding all this, however, the Gazette, ami other papers like it, have been harping on the Bank and bringing its bloody ghost into every cam paign since, as a rallying cry of its igno rant followers, although it was no more a ' political issue than the history of the Chi nese Wall. Where is the Bank now, and why do not the same parties again bring it forth as n battle cry of the campaign? We answer, for the best reason in the world.— It is her mis? James Buchanan was a friend -J the I 'aited Slates Bank and it.: re-chai ter. For the last twenty years, even though the Bank was asleep in its grave, it answered Locofocoism to annually and bit terly denounce the Bank, and everybody that could hv either truth or falsehood be identified with it. But James Buchanan was one of the friends of that monster, the Bank, and therefore nothing must now be said upon the subject. This is what has become of the Bank. The proof of James Buchanan's position on this Bauk question is abundant,an Ino unimportant part of it may be found in that celebrated Fourth of July Oration of his, published by us in our pa per of the 4th instant. Knowing the reck iesness of Locofocoism, we expected the au thorship of that oration to be denied; but they not only admit it by their silence, but in last week's Gazette is a letter . over the signature of .Mr. Buchanan himself, in which it is candidly admitted. In that pat riotic production he says, "Time will not allow me to enumerate all the other wild and wicked projects of the Democratic Adminis tration." lie proceeds, however, to enu merate some of them, and one of these great grievances was il by refusing the Bank of the LniteJ States a continuance, of its char ter, and harassing the financial concerns of the government'' These arc James Bu chanan's own words, and hence the reason js veiy plain why we hear nothing more of the U. S. Bank- In the same spirit we may ask, what has become of the charges of "Federalism" and "Hartford Convention Federalists,'' about which we have heard so much from certain quarters time out of mind. True there has been 110 federal party iu existence tor many bug years, aad no perscu we presume, who sympatized with the proceedings of that Convention; and yet the presses which pro fessed to speak for the sham deinocracv have evciy year been long, loud and bitter in their denunciation of the Federalists, and in their dishonest attempts tc fasten the sap posed odium of that name upon all who dared to differ with tbem politically. Why is it the cry has becu so suddenly stopped and that we have heard nothing of it since the adjournment of the Ciueinuati Conven tion' We answer, simply because James Buchanan was i "Federalist.'" He was elected to Congress twice, if not three times, as a Federalist, and never a any thing tisc than a Federalist, and therefore it is that the abuse of Federalists lias ceased. We regret that the lenrrth ot our article will compel us to reserve for some future oc casion cur answers upon the subjects of the Tariff and the Indrgrndtrd Treasury. We believe we can answer them in a manner equally full and satisfactory. For the present tve must conclude with this single remark: That although Locrvfoeo isrnis just now very quiet upon these sub jects, and very careful nor. tc stir the ashes of the I'nited States Rank or of Federal ism, they have other rallying cries equally stale and useless, which will answer the same purpose. It now charges every matt with " abolitionism ," and an intention to "dissolv ■ the Union who will not bow down ami worship at the shrine of sham de mocracy. These last cries are of course just a* false, just as inapplicable, and have just as little to do with the reil issues of the Jay, as that of Bankman and Federalist ever bad, and yet they tire now the burdcu of their speeches, <heir editorials, and their song.- and by them they scorn to expect to w. rk wouJeas for the old U. S. Baukuian and Federalist, James Buchanan. The de cree has gone forth, that every man with the love of country in his heart, and the love of liberty in his soul, who is opposed to the extension of African slavery, and who is io favor of carrying out the Jefferson ordi nance of 1757 an J the Missouri Compro mise of IS2O in their plain terias, and as our ancestors intended they shaul J lie, is to be viHifit d and denounced as an abolition ist and a disunionist. We know of no man in this county or iu this State who is either an abolitionist or a disunionist, in any fair sense of the term, nor do we believe there are any such in the Comconwealth. No sricb issue therefore is before the people; and yet all men who opposj the election of James Buchanan, no matter upoti what grounds, are to be abused a* abolitionists and disunionists, without regard to truth or decency, just as heretofore we have been called Bank men and Federalists for oppo sing the nominees of sham democracy. A NEW SORT OF PROSCRIPTION. In the Gazette of last week is an adver tisement of a Locofoce meeting at St. Clairsville, on the ilGth inst. On all such occasions heretofore, it has been the invari able praetiee to iuvile all of all parties to attend. Under the progressive and liberal views of shaui democracy things have now changed, and their meetings it seems are to be Hfeld for their o*ll special benefit, and a majority of the voters aie to be excluded. Part of the notice above alluded to reads as follows: "A general and eordial invita tion is given to the Democracy and old line Whirs of the surrounding* Townships and Boroughs to be present on the occasion."— "Proscription" is thu cry raised by this same party against all its adversaries; and yet it can, in all its conduct, carry the prin ciples of proscription further than any oili er party in the County; and it has remain ed for the Locofocoism of Bedford County to wilfully exclude voters from poliiieal meetings. la St. Ciair Township, where this meeting is advertised to be belJ, there is an American majority of about from sev erity to eighty votes over all others: and recently we believe there are some Repub licans there. They are not to be permitted without a breach of propriety, to attend this democratic meeting, for we consider it a breach of propriety for men to go where they are uot invited, and especially when so clear an intimation is given that they are uot wauted. They are uot forbidden to at tend in express words, but the democracy are invited, and the oil line Whirs are cor dially iuvited, whilst the Americans and Republicans, living right amongst tlieai, and composing a large majority of the ro tors, are not invited, but evidently slighted by design. We guess they can understand such a hint as this. It reminds us of the hint the man got who was kicked down stairs. From this circumstance be inferred that his company was not wanted, and we doubt not the Americans ami Republicans can draw an inference equally justifiable and satisfactory. la one sense we resrret that we and our V friends are thus deprived of the usual priv ilege of attending the Locof'uco meetings this fall. We will endeavor to stand it, however, cheerfully recognizing the right in this free country for any party to hold its meetings, public or private, just as it pleases. We console ourselves, also, with this furth er reflection, that we will lose but little by the denial of the old privilege, and especi ally if v.e are permitted to judge frout the character of the recent articles it! the Ga zette. For gross exaggerations, wilful mis representation of facts, shameless perver sions of political history, this organ not on ly outstrips all others which come under our observation, but bids fair to outdo itself.— We are apprehensive that not a few of the speeches delivered at these meetings will partake largely of the same character, and are therefore inclined to admire the patriot ism, if not the Christianity of modern Lo cofocoistn in thus eoiiGniiig its errors and its heresies within the various limits pre scribed in the advertisement which has oc casioned these comments, ttTTiie editor of the Gazette nfleets to condemn the hrntal and dastardly assault of Brooks npon Senator Sumner in the United States Senate Chamber, but at the same time apologizes forit by asserting that Senator Sumner invited the attack by his "blackguardism and scurrility." lie pre tends to reprobate the outrage, but eagerly seeks a justification of it. it is always thus with cowards aud hypocrites. Instead of coining squarely up to the mark and de fending the miscreant as he would like to do, he sneakingly intimates an excuse for him. The editor of the Garotte cannot find a syllable in that speech of Senator Sumner that conies within the meaning of the term "seurrility,"' as he understands it, and practices under it. lie knows this, and therefore keeps it from the view of his readers. On the contrary, it is strictly parliamentary from beginning to -end , it is chaste in diction and rich iu classical iliu.s tration, aud as different from the won tod "scurrility and blackguardism"' of the Ga zette, as the keen and polished Damascus blade is from the bludgeon used by the as sassin Brooks. The simple truth is, Brooks is a coward, aud the editor of the Gazette is a coward and a poltroon. No one but a coward conld suggest an excuse for the das tardly act. In spite of the military title aud coppet epaulets which he flourishes with so much pomposity, he has more than once proved himself a cratVK, and long ago should have had his spurs hacked from his heels. li' be had been chastised as be deserved for bis scurrility towards the aged and in firm, and towards innocent aud defenceless females, there would not be sound space enough on bis bide that it could not be cov ered witb a three cent' piece On one or two occasions, whet: be was punished for bis insolence and blackguardism, be "boo-boo ed*' like an overgrown calf, and afterwards took shelter behind the law ; —he picketed the iusult, and the Court recompensed him in damages. Aud yet this valiant General talk* about the scurrility and blackguardism o; Scuato r biuuiiier, and justifies the bru tal and cowardly attack upon him on that BEDFORD INQUIRER AND' CHRONICLE. | ground If it would not be too gross au I outrage upon public morals and decency, we would cull some specimens of scurrility front the Gazette, aud set them parallel with the objectionable , parts of Stunner's speech. We have no taste for such dis gusting work, but if we had the universal judgement of the public it would be,that if Senator Sutnner's language afforded any ex cuse for the assault of Brooks, there is no punishment too disgraceful, or too severe for the wretch who has used language so gross and infamous.

The company of persons who marched into this District, collected in Hay, Howard, Car roll, Boone, La Fayette. Randolph,. Saline and Cass counties, its the Stale of Missouri. Their expenses wore paid- those wlib could not come contributing provisions, wagons. &c.— J'rovisions were deposited lor tiiose who were expected to come to Lawrence in the house of William Lykjtts,and were distributed. The evening before and the morning of the day of election, about 1000 men from the above coun ties arrived at Lawrence, and camped in a ra vine a short distance from t wn, aear the I lace of voting. They came in wagons of which there were over ona hundred and on horseback, under I lie command of Colonel Samuel Vouug. of Rooue county, Mis-mart, and Claiborne F. Jackson, of Missouri. Thev were armed with guns, rifles, pistols, and bow ie-knives, and bad tents, tnnsfc, and flags wit h them. They brought with them two pieces of artillery, loaded with musket halls. On their way to Lawrence some ol them met Mr. N. B. Wanton, who had beeu appointed one of the Judges oi Election by Gov. Herder, nud after learnirg from him that he Considered it bis du ty to demand an oath from tbera as to their place of residence, first attempted to bribe, and ti.en threatened him with hanging, in or der to induce him to iFspensc with that oath. 1 u cons-quence of these threats, he did not apiicar at the polls the next morning to act as Judge. i'he evening before the election, while in camp, the Missourijtu were called together at the tent of Capt. Claiborne F. Jackson, and speeches were made to them hv Oal. Yourg and others, calling for volunteers to go to oth er Districts where there were not Misioiuiaux enough to control the election, and there were more at Lawrence than were needed there. Ma nv volunteered to go. and the morning of the election, several companies, from 150 to 200 men each, went off to Tecumseh. Hickory Point, liloomington, and other places. oil the morning of the election, ihe Missourians oatne over to the place of voting from their camp, in bodies of one hundred at a time. Mr. lUanton not appealing, another Judge was appointed in his place—Col. Voting claiming that as the people of the territory had two Judges, it was nothing more then right that the M issourians should hive i he other one, to look after their interests; anil Robert A. Cummins was elected in Bhnton's stead, because he con sidered that exerv man had a right to vote if lie had been in the Territory but an hour.— The Missourians brought their tickets with them, but Rot having enough, they had three hundred more printed in Lawrence on the evening before and the day of election, They had white ribbons in their button-holes to dis tinguish themselves Irom the settlers. When the voting-commenced the question <>' the legality of the vote of a.Mr. Page was raised. Before it was decided. Col. Samuel Young stepped up to the window where the votes were received, and said lie would settle the matter. The vote of Mr. J'age was with drawn, and Col. Young offered to vote, llere fused to take the oath prescribed by the Gov ernor, but swore he was a resident of the ter ritory, upon which Jit 3 vote was received, lie told Mr. Abbott, one of the judges, when ask ed if he intended to make Kansas his future home, that it wajs uoue of his business; that if lie were a resident then, he should ask no mure. After his vote was received. Col Young got up in the window-silland announc ed to the crowd that he had been permitted to vote, and they could all come up and vote lie told tin: Judges that there was no use in swearing t he others, as they woul I all swear as he had done. After the other Judges conclud ed te receive Col. Young's vote, Mr. Abbott resigned as Judge of Election, and Mr. Benji tniii was elected in his place. The polls were so much crowded until late in the evening that for a time, when the men had voted they were obliged to get out by lin ing hoisted up on the roof of the building where the election was being bWd, and pass out over the house. Afterward a passage wav through the crowd was made, by two lines of men being formed, through which the voters could get up to the polls. Col. Young inked that the old men lie allowed to go up first and vote, as they were tired with the traveling and wanted to go back to camp. The .Missourians sometimes cr.rae up to the polls in procession, two by two, and voted. During the day the Missourians drove off the ground some of the citizens, Mr. Stevens Mr bond, and Mr. Willis. They threatened to shoot Mr. Bond, and a crowd rushed after him threatening Mm. and as he ran from them some shots were fired at him, as he jumped off the bank of the river and made Ira* escape. The citizens of the town went over in & body lute in the aflernooa, when the polls had become comparatively clear,and voted. Before the voting had commenced, the Mis sourians said, if the Judge* appointed by the Governor did not receive their votes,, they would choose other Judges. Some of" them voted several times, changing their hats or coats and coming up to the window again. They said they intended to vote first, and after they had got through then the others could vote. Some of them claimed a right to vote under the .organic act. from the fact that their mere presence in the Territory constitut ed them reJdonts, though they were from M is consin, and had homes in Missouri. Others said they had a right to vote because Kansas belonged to Missouri, and people from the East had no right to settle in the Territory and vote there. 1 Jiev said they came to the Territory to elect a Legislature to mil themselves, a thj people of the Territory au<l persons from the j Last and North wanted to elect a Legislature j that would not suit them. Tliey said the) had : a right to make Kansas a Slave Stale, because j th people of the North had sent persons out i to make it a Free State. Some claimed that ! they had heard that the Knjigrant Aid Society j had stint men out to be at the election, and | they came to offset their votes; hut the most ! of them made no such claim. Col. Young said he wanted the citizens to vote in order to ! give the election some show of fairness. The ! Missourians said there would he no difficulty, if the citizens did not interfere with their vot ing, but they wero determined to vote—peace ably, if they could, but vote any how. They said each one of them was prepared for eight, rounds, without loading, and would go the ninth round with the butcher-knife. Some of thern said that by voting in the Territory they would deprive themselves of the right to vote in Mis souri for twelve months afterward. The Missourians began to leave tlieafternoon of the day of election, though some did not go home until the next morning. In many cases when a wagon load had voted, , ihey immediately started for home. On their ' way home they said that if Gov. Feeder did i not sanction the election they would hang him. | The citizens of the town of Lawrence, as a i general tiling, were not armed oil the day of j election, thoi gh some had revolvers, but not j exposed, ns were tin; arms of the Missourians. J They kept a guard about the town the night af- j ter the election, in consequence of tlie threats of the Missourians, in order to protect it. The Pro-Slavery men of the district attended the nominating Conventions of the Free State men, and voted for and secured the nomina tions of-the men they considered the most ob noxious to the Free State party in order to cause dissension in that party. Quito a number of settlers came into tin; District before the day of election, and after the Census was taken. According to the cen sus returns, there were thun in the District 309 legat voters. Oi I hose whose unmet, are on the Census retains, 177 ace to he found on the poll books of the ,10th March, IKSS. Messrs. Ludd, Labcock, and Pratt, testify to M names on the poll books of persons they knew to have set- ! tied in the District after the census was taken ; and befoielhe election. 1 A number of persons came into the Tt rrito ; rjr in J/.irch, ■before the election, from the ; -Northern ami Eastern States, intending toset j who were in Lawrence on the day of elec tion. At that time many of them had selected no claims, and had no fixed place of residence. Such were not entitled to vote. Many of tlteni became dissatisfied with the country." Others were disappointed at its political condition and in tin- price an 1 demand for labor, and return ed. Whether suy such voted at the election is not clearly shown, lut from the proof, it is probable that in the latter part oi the day after the great body of the Missnnriina hid voted, some did g., to the polls. The number was not over 50. These voted tlte freo .State ticket. l'he u hole number of names appearing upon the poll lists i; 1034. After full examination, we are satisfied that not over 232 of these were legal voters, and Sit! were nou resident and il legal voters. This District is strongly in favor of making Kansas a free State, and there is no doubt that the free State candidate for the Le gislature would luvu Isien elected Iry large ma jorities, if none but the actual settlers lud vo ted. At the preceding election in November, 1851, where none but. legal votes were. poHcd, Gen. Wbitliehl, wiio received the full strength ol the pro slavery party, got but if} votes. The committee have come to the following facts ami conclusions, as established by the testimony: First —That each election in the Terii tory held under the organic or alleged Ter ritorial law has been carried by organised invasions front the State of Missouri, by which the people of the Territory have been prevented from exercising the rights secur ed them by the organic law. Second —That the alleged Territorial Legislature was an illegally-constituted body, aud had no power to pass valid laws, and their cnactmccts are, therefore, null and void. Third. —That, these a Hedged laws have not, as a general thing, beeu used to pro tect persons and property and to punish wrong, but for unlawful purposes Fourth. —That the election under which the sitting Delegate, John \Y Whitofield, hold, his seat, was not hel l in pursuance of any valid law, and that it should be regard ed only as the expression of tiie choice of those resident cilizeus who voted for hiui. Fifth. —That the election under which the contesting Delegate, Andrew 11. Keedcr, claiius his seat, was not held in pursuance of law. and that it should be regarded only as the expression of the choice of the resident citizen who voted for him. Sixth. —That Andrew 11. Boeder received a greater number of votes of resident citi zens than \V. Whitcfield, for Delegate. Stvtnfh —That in the present condition of tlie Territory a fair election' cannot be held without a new census, a stringent aud well-guarded election law, the selection of impartial Judges, and the presou<*e of Uni ted States tooops at every place of elec tion. Eighth —That (lie various elections held by the people of the territory preliminary to the formation of the State Government, have been as regular as the disturbed con dition of the territory would allow, and lhat the coustition passed by the Convention held in pursuance uf said elections, embod ies the willof a majority of tli? people As it is not the province of your Com mittee to suggest remedies for the existing troubles in the Territory of Kausas, they content themselves with the foregoing state ment of fact". All of which is respectfully submitted. WM. A. HOWARD, JOHN SI 1 HUMAN. We :ire pleased to see that our young and ; talented friends T A. Bom, Bs.p, lately of Bedford, and J. 11.

Mr Stuart, of Virginia, claims all t'he above mentioned States as certain for Fill more, ami adds to thcin Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illnidc Island, New York, Pennsyl vania, Missouri and California: In addition to these States, the Philadelphia Times en press. < the opinion that .Mr. Fillmore's pro >- perfs in Mississippi and Arkansas are notv of a very suspicious character, and are im proving daily: and that in Virginia the Old Line Whigs, who, to the number of twelve thousand, turned the scale at tln last Gu bernatorial election in favor of Wise, will go in a body for Fillmore. If these spec ulations are based upon reliable data, it is therefore not improbable that Mr. Fillmore will succeed in carrying the following states: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, N'efr Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary land, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Geor gia, North Carolina, Mississippi, Lousiana, Arkansas, Florida, Missouri, and Califor nia. '•lf, however," says the Time?, "the election goes to the House of Representa tives, as it must, no candidate having 1 f! votes, a majority .f the whole number of electoral votes, which amount in all to 29G, it is impossible to conjecture the result, while it is certain the Fillmore delegation of Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri. Dela ware, and Maryland, will hold the balance of power, and may* force a union ou their candidate. It is evident tluit no one of the candidates lias a majority of the whole num ber of States, at prcseut in the House. Texas and I ova are ties, the former having one Ameriean and one Democratic member, aud the latter one Republican and one dem ocrat. If Mr. Cliiiginan' (Whig) should vote for Filluiore, North Carolina would also belied. Mr. Ruchauan has only nine cer tain States iu the House, viz: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida Georgia, Lou isiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, aud Vir giuia, with a probability of North Carolina. He would therefore have no chance in that body, as the vote is cast Ly States; and six teen being a majority of the whole number." OUT FOli FILLMOIiiJ.

Chronicle thus al ludes to Mr. Fillmoie's Albany speech: "Mr. Fillmore's progress through his na tive State is compared with peculiar felicity to that of Harry of the West in his palmi est days. There arc many points of reseni -1 blauce between the two illustrious men: their sincere love for the Uuion, their un dying patriotism, their total forgetlulness of self, their outspoken chivalrous lan guage, and their noble preseuce which gives the world assurance of r. man. Since the death of Henry Clay, no speech has pro duced so profound an effect upon the Ainer. iean heart as that delivered Ly Millard Fillmore in the Capitcl at Albany. It has awakened long silent emotions, it has por trayed in glowing words the dangers tha 1 menace the country: it has rebuked the spirit of sectionalism; it lias revealed the shortcomings of the tiiuid and vacillating, it has caused the faithful to renew their faith from its fountain head—the Constitution."' 1• rom the .V. 1 ork Independent. SHALL J MAX BE J CATHOLIC .JGALYST ftJS WILLI Political heats are apt to hatch out false hoods as tropica! heats do venomous insects, Hut Christian men should be especially care ful that theij do not countenance or propa gate such falsehoods. At this time many newspapers recklessly charge Col. Fremont with being a Roman Catholic. '1 hough it has been authorita tively contradicted, it still continues o !e asserted, and in very positive sod impudent forms. We have takcu pains to inform ourselves in this matter, and now state to the Chris tian public the simple truth, that good men, at least, may cease to bear false wit ness. Col Freemont was blessed with a mother of devoted piety. She was a member of the Episcopal church, St. Philip's, CharkMon. S. C., and reared licr son in her own faith. Indeed, until he was fourteen, Col. Fremont was educated in the hope and expectation that he would become an Episcopal minister. At sixteen, he was confirmed in the Episco pal church, and has, ever since, when with in reach of the chureh, been an attendant and comunicant. And since his temporary sojourn in X. \crk, he his been an atten dant at Dr. Anthon's church, until recent" ly, and now he worships at Grace Church. Mrs. Fremont was reared strictly in the Presbyterian Church, and united with the Episcopal Chureh uj>oa her marriage with Col. Fremont. Their children have been hattisea in the Episcopal Church It is said that a drughter has been sent to a Catholic institution for education. So far ! rom it, she has never been sent away from home at all, but has been educated bv her own mother. It is well known that Mrs. Fremont is the daughter of Col. Benton, and that, at the time, her father was opposed to her mar riage. Col. Fremont personally solicited several Protestant Clergymen to perform the marriage ceremony, bur. on account of Col. Benton's opposition ro it, they were unwilling to do it. A female friend, in this exigency, said that she could find a clergy man, who would aid without fear, and brought in a Catholic clergyman, who mar ried tlietn. Like a true lover and gallant man, Fremont said he did not carc tc/io did it, so that it was done quick and strong Had arc been in Col. Fremont's place we would have been married if it had required us to walk through a row of priests and bishops as iong as from Washington to Ro un winding up with the Pope himself IIEXRY WARD HIECIIKR.
