THE BEDFORD GAZETTE. Bi'diord, Feb. 66, 1555. G. W. Bowman, Editor and Proprietor ■' An Apprentice, to learn the Printing, "Will he taken at the office of the Bedford Ga zelle on favorable terms. SiyAn ineffectual attempt to elect a U. S. Senator for Pennsylvania was made by our State Legislature on last Tuesday. General CAMERON is the regularly nominated candidate ol the Whig and Know-Nothing caucus. On the day fixed lor the election, however, the supporters of Mr. CnuTtx, the Administration aspirant, boited, and the election stands post poned until the 27th inst.—so that we may ex pect little business to be done by the Legisla ture for the next two weeks. The General only lacked 7 votes of an elec tion. Important Vote in Congress. The following resolution was offered on Monday in lh House of Representatives of the United States, by Hon. William Witte, of Pennsylvania, and on the motion to suspend the rules, so as to bring it to dis cussion and a direct vote, the yeas and nays were called: Whereas discussions have been indulged in this House, in Committee of the Whole, which, with oth er circumstances, lead to the conviction that there exists in this country an extensive secret oath-bound political association, which seems intended to inler tere with The purity of elections and the legislation of ihe country, such an association a- excited the (ears and induced the solemn warnings of Washington in Ins Farewell Address : therefore, Resolved, That, in the opinion of this HOUSP. the existence of secret oath-bound political association-, having in view an interference with The sanctity of the ba!lot-hox, and the direction ol the course of na tional legislation, is inconsistent with and dangerous to tiie institutions of republicanism, and directly ho-- lit'e to the genius of the government. Resolved. That every attempt to pro-crihe any c of citizens on account of their religion- opinions, or to favor or to injure any religious denomination hy t .riofial legi-lation, is a di-tinct violation of the j- •,:rt♦ ol the constitution of the United >'utc-. Resolved, That while a caretu! and strict adminis tration of the naturalization laws is a solemn duty, vet every interference with the guarantied rights <>f naturalized citizens is iiicon-i-tent with the plighted fa it h of the nation, and must diminish its growthand prosperity. Democrats in the affirmative 00 Whigs in the affirmative 11 104 Democrats in the negative fit Whigs in the negative, 19 "its not a two-thirds vote ; so the House refused to con sider ttie re-oiilutiou. We have already given tiie yeas and navs. It is jii-t to say that nearly a!! the democrats who voted :II the negative on this re-olution did so on the ground that it might open a iengthy discussion, and delay important business to a late hour of the ses sion. This was the po-itiou of the lion. George S. Houston, the able chairman of the Committee of Ways and .Means, who has labored so strenuously to bring the House to action on the pressing business now before it; and this, al-o, was the position of the chairman of most of the leading committees in the House. As it was, however, the decided and con trolling majority of the democratic party w ere found enrolled, we are gla'i to say, in favor of the princi-' pies avowed hy the resolution, and fourteen whig aided to swell the affirmative votP. This is a question which mu-t be squarely met. It cannot be evaded. However aspirants for office may dislike the te-f, the people will demand that every candidate shall show his hand. Such an issue a- that presented by the resolutions of Mr. Witte rises above temporary party issues. The idea of oppn-ing the new conspiracy is based upon principles of enduring vi-tue and of daily neces-ity, and wo unto the public mail who, in the se]ti-h race for tempoiary success and persona! advantage, forfeits his obligation to his fellow-beings and to the truth bv uniting with this know-nothing conspiracy. The democratic party has here another opportunity to show its firmness and its fidelity in adhering to great principles in the.dark hour ; and though menaced by di-aster and defeat, it will not surrender before a crusade which, however transiently successful, will soon end in the over throw of ail who are concerned in it.— lUai/i. Union. Professor Tiffany. This gentleman, alter leaving here, re-deliv ered his Know-Nothing Lecture before the Young .1 hn's Christian dissociation of tiie Borough of York, on the succeeding evening tiller his debut in Fulton Hall. Are these As sociations also to he conceited into Know- Nothing Lodges ? Verily, it looks verv much like it in the town of York, when thev will em ploy such a politico-clerical demagogue to lec ture before them. By the way, does this man, Professor TIFFA NY, traverse the State delivering his Know- Nothing Lectures at the instance or instigation of the Faculty of Dickinson College? or does he do it, and thereby neglect his duties in the Chair of Mathematics, by permission of the Trustees of that time-honored Institution?— The public have some interest in this matter— inasmuch as one of two things is certain ; eith er lie neglects his duties iti the College, or else his services are of so little importance there that his presence is not required. It was well re marked the other day by a gentleman of our ac quaintance in this City—"l pay Professor Tiffa ny for teaching my son the Mathematics, and not for travelling over the State making political speeches.*' We can tell the Baltimore Conference and the Trusteesot Dickinson College, that if they do not very shortly put a stop to this dema gogue's lectures, or eject him from the Pulpit and College, he u ill do lasting injury to the Church and the venerable institution til Learn ing under its management.— Lancaster Intelli gencer. A MARKED COMIUHEA-T. —The London Court Journal, m ai hiding to our Minister to England, -Mr. Bio HA.XAN, pays him this handsome com pliment : —'-Among the many able men whom America has sent to represent her at our court, not one has obtained a greater amount of consid eration with our statesmen than Mr. Buchanan. To great diplomatic talents, his excellency unites a modest demeanor and wonderful con versational powers, so that in any political gath- i ering, his ascendency is speedily manifest." A NEW FEATURE.—A lady in Franklin county, in this State, was recently married, her hither refusing to give his consent, however, till the husband gave bond in sboo that lie would treat her kindly. Alter marriage he treated her so badly that she left him, and the father brought suit for the recovery of the bond. The case was declared invalid in tin- County Court, but being taken up to the Su preme Court a decision was given, for plaintiff for the amount and costs. Just as we Expected. Mrs. Sarah Young, one of the wives of Brig ham Young, in Utah territory, and a Miss Kliza win ianw, are about to travel the United States, on a lecturing expedition against Mor-monism.— VVe supposed that opposition to Mormon ism would be a speculating scheme in the hands of some lecturer or strong-minded woman, before long, and the announcement by these two wo men of their intentions, proves our conclusions right. Morir.onism at first, was, and is still, a vile hoax by which simple-minded people are led to the adoption of a system at variance with every principle of Christianity and social order. It was designed to enrich some at the expense of the credulous, and thus far has worked admi rably. What, however, strikes us as exceedingly strange, is that Mrs. Sarah Young should live so long with Brigham Young, and not find out the iniquity of the whole system. We think she was a long time coming to her senses, that is if she had any desire at all to know the ob ject and intentions of the leaders of the Mor mons. It is either so, or being a strong-minded woman, fancies hv running off from her leige lord, and coming to the States, she can, by pat terning alter Lucy Stone and the Rev. Antoi nette Brown, amass a fortune. The latter con clusion, we are inclined to think, is the ruling one. It is only within the Inst year that Mor monism is beginning to be discussed, and as it will likely he an exciting topic, in which all various congregations of Christians will take a deep interest, Mrs. Young no doubt supposes that by lecturing, and thus ministering to the excitement of tli- people, she can make herself comfortable li>r the balance ot Iter life.

In the United States Senate, on Monday, on the presentation of certain resolutions adopted hy the Legislature of Michigan, the veteran (fen. Cass, boldly declared his purpose to dis regard the treasonable and illiberal instructions, nor would fie, on the other hand, by resigning his seat, give place to some more pliant repre sentative of the faction now in the ascendant in that State. He said the Democratic party has lost its as cendancy in Michigan, and these resolutions are the result of the action of the new party, iam now instructed to vote to deprive American ci tizens in the territories of the power to regulate the relations between master and servant, and for tile repeal of the fugitive slave act, which was passed to give effect to the solemn guaran tees of the constitution. I shall neither obey these instructions no resign my seat. II a |ki litical party, whenever, by whatever combina tions, it attains power, can compel its opponents holding legislative trusts to violate their consci ences and consistency, or resign their positions, it would radically affect the organization ol the Senate, and he incompatible with its office, as the representative branch ol the sovereignty of the States. The Senate would loss every characteristic of permanance, as power was transferred from one party to another. This would operate against the Democratic party, for their opponents do not recognize their right to instruct. The intol erant proscription which is advocated by the new party would exclude from political confi dence the first General who lell at the head of an organized army at Quebec, and the last sur viving signer of the Declaration of Independ ence, because he was a Catholic. The adoption of either measure recommended hy the Legislatuie of Michigan, would he the sequel for the breaking lip of this government, and the dissolution of this confederacy. There are many honest men who sconf all idea of dan ger, and are prepared to sacrifice the structure of freedom to one overpowering impulse. J shall remain in the position 1 now occupy till the end of my term, unless the democracy of Michigan shall require me to act against my own convict ions of dut v. What T tear above ail things, is that the peo ple may he struck with judicial blindness, with which the nations are punished for national of fences, and thus add to the melancholy list of the people who had not wisdom enough to ap preciate the value of free institutions, nor virtue and firmness enough to maintain them. 35 S "A MENDIC ANT LENDI.NO FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. —The Buffalo Republic states that a merchant of that citv was "short" five hundred dollars, a few days ago, and found it difficult to raise, until a friend took him to the house of a worthy old German, where, on giving good se curity, it was handed to him,all in specie, with the offer of live hundred more, if it w as w anted. This generous offer was declined, and as the merchant turned to leave, the door opened, and in trooped the three or four ragged children of the money-lender, with baskets on their arms, whom the borrow er at once recognized as "reg ular customers" at his house, and who had just that moment returned from ins latder with tiieir customary supply of cold victuals. OGT'THE SEARCH FOR THE Sr.oon OF WAR ALBANY - . —Advices have reached Washington from the 1 nited States war steamer Fulton, now in cruise in the West Indies, in search of the missing sloop of war Albany. The Fulton was at Cape Hayti on the loth ult. No intel ligence, savs the Star, had been obtained of the search, though the Fulton had visited Nassau, San Salvador and St. Malthewstown, to that end. Nothing was known of her at Turks' Is land. It was clear she was not wrecked near either of the On the loth ult. the Fulton was to have weighed anchor to continue her search, proceeding through the Mono pas sage, and thence to the island of St. Thomas for coal. 35 = *California exhibits at the present time the oddest extremes of life. Many of these have already become widely know n by the des criptions of travellers and letter writers, hut the theme seems always new. One account, now before us, after mentioning the existence of great distress in San Francisco, speak? of the habits ot dress as insanely extravagant. Noone wears calico, and while even servant girls sport handkerchiefs which cost ten to fifteen dollars, mechanics' wives wear laces costing from fif teen to three hundred dollars, and dressi-s cost ing from two hundred to five hundred dollars. The private entertainments given are of the same character. fLf~ L>- wis Schonberger, a joung man ol abrut twenty-three year* ol age, married a short time since Louisa Ann Jordan, in Henrico, \ irginia.

The husband said it had not bet n, and contended (hat il it had, the \ irginian code did not annul (he marriage, and the law pointed out the pun ishment. The Judge agreed with the husband, gave him hack his wife, at which result there was a great shout of approbation in the court room. OT^*PROHIBITORY LIQUOR LAW IN MICHIGAN. —The Governor of Michigan has signed the prohibitory liquor hill passed by the Legislature of that State a tew days ago. It takes effect in ninety days after its approval. There are some provisions about it that rendei it doubtful whether it is constututional or not. One of these allows a man to make an affidavit that he suspects and believes that an individual has li quor about his premises'with intent to sell—and tberupon a justice may issue a warrant to seize and deslioy the liquor, upon proof of the com plaint. Another provision allows druggists to sell liquors. .

A, living in Philadelphia, owned a section of land in the State ol lowa. In IMS A em ployed Bto pay the taxes on the lain!. In 1K52,A wrote to B requesting him to examine the land, and report its value peracre. 15 went and looked at the land, and wrote to A that it was worth $2 per acre. In 1853, no puJc/mser offering, B wrote to A that lie would give $2 per acre ; the bargain was closed and A conveyed the land to B. At the tune 13 wrote to A the land was really worth A refunded the money to B for pay ing the taxes and also paid him lor his services in paving the~taxes. A paid B nothing for looking at the land and B never made any charge for it.' Attornies for Plaintiff, Shannon, Fyan, Fletch er, Reed Tate and Schell. Attornies for Defendant, Barclay, Hail, Spang, Bannan, Tate am! Boyd. The charge of the court was delivered by BLODGET (JNO. A.) Justice. The action brought by A against II upon (lie above stated case was in form an action of AS SUMPSIT, embracing the usual counts, tor money laid out and expended, money had and received, account slated and the usual counts found in the ordinary printed forms. The court areof opin ion, confining themselves to the facts embraced in the "care* stated," that the plaintiff" has mista ken his remedy, and that the present form of ac. tinn cannot he sustained, as there is a total and irivconcileahle variance between the "allegata and probata"—between the cause of action de clared upon and the facts relied upon and set forth in the "case stated" ami that a demurrer to the evidence embraced in the "rase stated'" w oiild be fatal to the plant ill 's recovery in the present form of action. The Count contained in the declaration "for money hud and received ," appears to he princi pally relied upon. Ceitainlv it docs not appear in any part of the transaction, that the defeti- daiit, L, was in the receipt of any money what evi r. It (iocs not even appear that I? alter the delivery of the deed to him by A sold the land, or that lie received any consideration for the same. The very converse is the true state of the case : B was the payor of the onlv monev that passed bet ween the parlies, and A was the recipient. . It has been decided that an action for money had and received, cannot be sustained without proof that the defendant had actually received money to the plaintßPs use. 1 Dall. M5,'2.2, 242 Lord Mansfield says, that the action for money had and received is a beneficial action lor the plaint ill*, and particularly so tor the de fendant, because the defendant can be liabie no further than for the money he /ins receimi/. It is in fact an action to oh litre the defendant to refund "ex ri termini'' precludes the idea of in.? being answerable for more than fie has actually received. 1 Dal!. 223. Here there was no fund to refund, the defendant not being in the receipt of any money whatever. The plaintiff, how ever, bases his right to re cover on the ground of alleged misrepresenta tion of the defendant, as to the vaii land, and says that the title to the land, was obtained from him, by the defendant, through circumvention and fraud. Were ihe allegation never so true, tlie plaintiff could not recover un der the present declaration, for the defendant has not been called upon to respond to a charge of fraud. He is without notice, and therefore all evidence offered to establish fraud on the part of the defendant would be a departure from the allegata and the subject of njection from its illegitimacy. In this form of action the plaintiff waives all "TOUTS" —admits the right of the defendant to receive, anil therefore can recov< r no more than hasaccutallv come to the defendant's hands.— *2 Burr, 1008, Cow p. lib, Bull X. P. 128. Here there is not the slightest evidence to show that B realized a dollar bv the sale of the Jand purchased by him from A. Even had B sold the land for four dollars per acre, he must have sold it as his own,deriving his title from the deed of A, and it is declared that "Assumpsit will not lie, to recove the proceeds of land, sold by the defendant under a claiuiof title as his own." 10 Watts, 335. Suppose the plaintilf in his "election of ac tion" had preferred an action upm the case, in nature of deceit, and set forth specially all the facts embraced in the case stated, and "The defendant had answered, bv producing the plain tiffs deed for the land: the onus would be thrown upon the plaintiff to prove that it had been obtained from him by fraud and circum vention. There is nothing in the "stated case" importing; fraud, and fraud cannot be inferred from straining implications, fraud is not to be presumed, but must be established by proof It is said that B was the a cent of A. He may have been so tor a special purpose, for ;lie mere payment of taxes, hut tile amount paid by him for taxes was refunded to him by—A, and a compensation paid to him for his services.— There is certainly nothing in the alter transac tions Let ween the parties, that can he drawn from the "stated case" that would enable A to sustain any form of action whatever against B. A wrote to Bin 1852, four years after the special agency fins expired, "requesting" him to examine the land and report its value per acre. B went and looked at the land and wrote to A that it was worth two dollars per acre.— There is nothing so far, from which an Agency, (in the true meaning and spirit of the word) can be inferred. It was a mere naked request from one friend to another, creating no tki st, im posing no duty, discharged by B without com pensation and from courtesy alone. Aw hole year expired without A making any further en ij'iirv as to the value of the land. In 1853(no purchaser offering) B wrote to A that he woftld give him two dollars per acre for the land, the bargain was closed, and A conveyed tlm land to B. At the time of the purchase of the land bv B, all relationship between the parties from which a trust could lie raised had ceased, and B had as fair a right to purchase "a bargain" as an entire stranger. A when he was written to by B that his land was worth two dollars in 1852 (when it was really worth four) made no further enquiry in relation to its value or con dition, and received no offer of purchase from any one, until B without saying what the land was worth in 1853, offered him two dollars per acre, which was accepted; whether the land for the last year had increased or decreased in value we are not informed. Here the defen dant sustained no fiduciary character; he acted neither as plaintiff's agent or attorney bv any contract, express or implied, in law or in equi ty. We can therefore perceive no fraud in the transaction that would enable A to recover from B in any form of action Assumpsit case or Eject ment. There has been an exception taken to the jurisdiction of this court, upon the ground of the defendant being an inhabitant of a sister Siutr, ; and doubts have been raised as to tt'hehe the contract v. as consumated. Without h ing sen sitive upon the subject, or thinking the t xc< je tion ungracious, we will simply say, that rlie law regulating contracts is the "/ of the place'' where the contract was made. That tile correspondence by htter between A and B : to and from Philadelphia, is the incipient evi-I | dence of the agreement and "meeting of minds" ol the parties and the delivery and acceptance : ot the deed in Philadelphia was its consuma tion. Ihe contract was therefore consumated in Pennsylvania, and the process of the court served upon the defendant while in this State, and he has appeared by aide counsel and taken defence. This would ue a sufficient answer for the present case, hut for the purjiose of avoiding all exceptions to The jurisdiction of this court hereafter, we will say that w> find nothing in our commission having the slightest tendency to restrain or limit our jurisdiction. .Neither are our proceedings subject Jo revision by any other Court upon writs of Error.
