THE BEDFORD (iIZETTE. Bedford. .9tu><* N, I G. W. Eowman, Editor and Proprietor. OLD VIRGINIA! E7"Rettifn from 1 rJS Counties foot up a majority 10,100 for HENRI A. VVISK the Democratic canrfi -arn from the Reading Gazette. "It feil in such a mass that in places where the rain drove it together, it was from three to five feet deep. Many of the stones were the size of hens' eggs." This accounts lor the recent chilliness of the air. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE That the last Know-Nothing Reform Legislature of Pennsylvania introduced a Rill to give to colored per sons all the rights now et.;tyed by the free white men of this Commonwealth, and were only checked in *heir efforts by an instrument called the Cou>titn i inn ' It nearly doubled the Banking Capital of the S'ate! It passed a law which is nearly equal to giving away the great Public Improvements of Pennsylva nia Rail-Koad company Ota irft/sasaqUhe Pennsylva between twoand three hundred thousand dollars an nually ! It repealed the License Law, and substituted an act fo promote Drunkenness, by which the people's Treasury is defrauded out of upwards of two hundred ihousat.d dollars annually, all of which -must he cot- j lecfed in taxes lrom the sweat of the tax payers' brow • It pa-sed a Law nearly doubling the pay of its own members !! It passed a Law through the lower House to re move the seat ofgovernment from Harrisbug to Phil adelphia ; a measure which, if finally succes-lui, will add millions of dollars to the public deb:, and place the people of the State at the mercy of the Specula tor* of a city now governed by coriuption of the most diabolical character! Owing to the corruption of its K. N. members, it ■was unable to elect aU. S. Senator,one of it plainest and most important dutie,. Here are a few of the real plank* in the K. N. ! j 'otform, which admit of no doubt—none of which, however, are to be found in the little book which is represented as containing K. X. principles—a book only designed io aeeeiv. ' 1 FARMERS and TAX PAVERS the issue is a plain one. If you love the*e things—then encourage Know-Nothing Midnight Lodges, if you disapprove | of them-, then array yourselves, like noe Americans, , under the great P.atiner of DEMOCRAC\ , and con tend fearlessly lor its glorious principles. "SAM" A NATIVE OF ROME. —Martin Luther gave this account of the order which bears very decided resemblance in many respects to the present organi zation : "In Italy there was a particular order of friars called T'ratre* Ignorant kx , that is, Brethren oj Igua ra net, who took u solemn oath that they would nei ther know, learn, nor understand anything at all, but answer ali thing* with A/rr/o, "/ Luow nothing. Luther's Table Tali, A o. -J fT. THE LIQTJCH LAW ! The people sfftn t> be moving in every quar ter lor (he REPEAL of the iniquitous JUG Law passed by the last K. N. Legislature, and approved by a K. N. Governor, i bat it wili be swept out of existence by the popular voice of next October, no man in his senses can doubt. We have no hesitation in proclaiming ourselves in favor of its speedy repeal. He have al ways considered Political I ernperance a hum bug, and we are now fully satisfied on this jiomt. Whilst KI\G, of Cambria County, was the avow ed candidate of the l'< mptraucr men, he dodged the vote on this question baring that it might interfere with his political prospects in future—and n any of the men who supported the measure throughout, drank probably a pint of brandy or whiskey every day they were in Harrisburg ! To suppose that such a code ot morals can result in reform is perfectly ridicu lous. Whilst corrupt politicians are using the Temperance Question as a mere hobby, the cause itself is perishing foi want of moral aid. Deal ers in Liquor, Beer, and Ale, are novo selling in open violation of the law : and, if temperance laws are not enforced, what is the use ol pas sing them ? REPI DUTION. We learn from the Philadelphia Argus that the K. N. Treasurer of that City refuses to receive Relief notes in payment of Taxes, not withstanding these shinplasters were issued on the authority of the Stale at a time when the Whigs (now Know-Nothings) accidentally con trolled the affairs of this Commonwealth. The Treasurer, it seems, is acting upon instructions from the authorities at Harrisburg ! Tile last K. N. Legislature added millions of trash lite this to our banking capital, which w ill eventual ly swindle the people by wholesale. A man mav receive it in payment for his farm, his crop, or his marketing, and yet not be able to jray even his taxes with the filthy stuff!' The people have suffered midnight Lodges to con trol their taxes, and dreadful will be thesuffer >ng they will experience in consequence there of. We take consolation in the fact that the Bedford Gazette never failed to warn them ®f their danger ' C7~ By reference to onr advertising columns it J will be seen that the "Allegheny Mate ami Female I Seminary" located at Rainsburg. in this county, will j open for the reception of Pupils early in August, and we sincerely bope it may meet with liberal encour- j agemer.r. There is no good reason why it should not become one of the valuable Institutions of the ' Commonwealth. The location is tine—the building i good—the country healthy and beautiful—and Thej inhabitants of the town and neighborhood, upright, ' moral, kind and obliging. CTTbe following communication from our worthy j friend, Maj. Taliaferro, was intended lor our la-t is- ! sue, but omitted for want of room. It loses none of its interest, however, from the (act that Mr. Wise's ! majority is several thousand more than we supposed I it would be this rime last week. The K.

BUiIAYA.A AT TIEEROF AL ACAD EM i DIWKR I\ Lo\Do.\: The inauguration dinner of the exhibition season of IS-j-5 attracted on Saturday, May 6, a brilliant a>- semblage, within the walls of the Royal Academy, London. From two o'clock, at which hour the doors were opened, until six, the Ministers of State, many magnificent patrons ot art among the nobility, and others distinguished in politics, law, literature and science, continued to ariin, and to apply themselves with keen arti-tic relish to the inspection of the paintings in the various rooms. The "fusion" of rank, wealth and parliamentary eminence, with the artist world, was no less complete than gratifying ; ^ ol .'P 4 might be seen, in which the merits of the more remarkable paintings. At six o'clock about one hundred and eighty gentlemen *at i down to dinner in the eat room, the cbair being ta ken by the President of the Royal Academy, Sir C. L. Eastlake. During the evening the President said that the next toast which he begged to introduce was the •■health of the foreign ministers, who had deigned on this occa-ion to be their guest-." (Cheers.)— : He bail to regret the absence of some of those in- ( v;*ed,and among thorn the representatives ot those gallant nations now our special allies ; hut they were honored by the presence of other* who might here recognize the perpetual alliance which it was the province of the arts of peace to promote. (Cheers.) Mr.. BCCITANAN. — After what fell from my noble Iripnrt (Lord Palmer-ton) on a former occasion, who said I had no right to call myself a foreign minister at all, (a laugh), I am inclined To think I have no right to address you. but although I might plead this privilege. 1 am not disposed To do it on This occasion. The foreign ministers who represent the different nations of the worh! at this court must be very un grateful indeed if they did not fee! sent intents of deep gratitude towards the British people ai d the numer ous noble societies that adorn This country. We have received the kindest attentions from all, and it is a natural and neces-ary con-equence that thi shouhi produce feelings oi response, not only on our own part, but aDo on the part of the countries we represent. (Cheers.) We tee! it to be a great priv ilege To be present on occasions of Thi- kind. The arts have beer: brought To great perfection in this country, and when we review the page- of history we find one thing to be constantly the lac?, that civ ilization, ami above all, liberty, are the best fo-Ter mothers of the arts. (Cheers.) Painting arid sculp ture sprung into existence almost at once, like Mi nerva iron, the head of Jupiter, w ben Greece became tree ; and I believe it may be said to be a remarkable act, that they sprang almost at once to a (soirit of ?xcel!ence which ha- not since been exceeded in any •ountry in the world. For my* own part, not having iad an opjiortiinity in my own country ot seeing ex pensive .'alienes, or many -pecimens of the periec lon to which the arts have been brought in this ■ountry, everything wears an air of novelty in this exhibition that has inspired me with delight, and I shall remember tbepre-ent evening when I return to my nat ive land as one of the most agreeable and in structive of my whole life. (Cheer-.) Rut, although the taste and immagination may be gratified bv the specimens of art here collected. 1 cannot help tng that noble institution of England—an English dinner. (Cheers and laughter. / 1 have en joyed the privilege of lea-ting with von, and alter enjoying 'he least ot reason and the How ot -out, in surveying the pictures hung upon these wails. I Lave been high ly delighted to enjoy a more material least of this sort. I return you the thanks of my colleague and myself, and I am Mire 1 may also thank you in the name of every member of the diplomatic corps.— (Cheers.) Evrr.AO!tni.\'AUY Sricuu:.—English papers mention the suicide of a .Mr. Royfstone, who, ten years ago, was worth one hundred and fifty thousand pounds sterlinc, which he has since squandered in the gratification of his appetite. He had agents in China, Mexico, Canada, and other places, to supply hint with the rarest deli cacies and a single dish, sometimes, cost him fifty pounds. At length, on the loth of April, nothing was left htm but a solitary guin ea, a shirt, and a battered hat. He bought a woodcock with the guinea, which be had served up in the highest style of the culinary art.— He gave hirr.s-lf two hours for an easy digestion, and then jumped into the Thames from West minster bridge. A collision occurred in Boston Bay on Tues day night, as a consequence of which two were left upon a wreck to drift about at tht mercy of the winds and wares during the recer.l sforni. They were rescu.-d after being on th. wreck more than twenty-four hours. a fie**- >. / "V—-*- Osg:?,- 'v*u jso=.-:jd® *^£Bf£S& From the Philadelphia Argus. ILL HAIL 11R LI MA! The 4 Smiiß{>ioii oi'4'ivil and 34c- Liberty ! A Voice from Independence Hall! FkWSYLVAMA SKMIS GREF/ITXti TO Tilt: OLD DOiIIIMON. As was anticipated, the meeting in Independence i Square la*t evening, was a demonstration worthy ! the occasion, and the principles it was called to en- I dor-e. The meeting was no common one. Since the : adoption of the Federal Constitution such a crisis has >, not occurred in the political history of our country. , The Hartford Convention treason was confined to a few Eastern States, and was therefore comparative ly powerfe-s, hot Know Nolhingism has amalgama ted with abolitionism, and penetrated the entire Northern and Western States, while in the F.a s t everything, save the Democratic party, lie- dead at its feet. With such victories to stimulate them to action, no marvel that when the contest cam* in Air- 1 ginia, the key to the South, intense anxiety was felt ! by the lovers of civil and religious freedom as to the ; result. I.oud and defiant boast- were sent forth by • j the Know-Nothing organs and their allies, that the i like triumphs which had attended their efforts in : other States, would follow them in the Old Domin ion. Though confessedly opposed to civil and reli | gious freedom, and allied to a faction which by iegis | lative enactment- had repudiated the Constitution, and set at defiance the power of the State-, still, with j matchless effrontery, they invaded the -oil of Vir ginia, and sought To trample under foot those princi- ' pies which had been enuuc.ated by a Washington and a Jefferson. Hut in *his they were mistaken. They had under- 1 taken a Task more than equal to their capacities for ! lying, cheating and juggling. They judged old Vir ginia by the same standard they did Massachusetts with her-freason-loving population. They vainly hoped that the bait gilded with specious poison* would be swallowed by the Constitutional men of old Vir ginia. Such was not the case. From one end of the Commonwealth to the other, from the centre to the circumference the alarm was sounded, and when the uay o/ contest came the enemy was driven from her territory covered with -ham-* and di-grace. It ua* this achievement, -o momen'ou* in its consequence that caused the demonstration of last night, and made each patriot s heart beat with quickened impulse as be witnessed the steady tread of the vast column of freemen that passed onward to the Mecca of Repub licanism, from thence to send their greetings to the Old Dominion. Each ward wa. paraded with trans parencies bearing appropriate mottoes, while the ' strain- of martial music, mingled with lire shouts of thousands, filled the air with inspiration. The scene , iuold Independence Square will never be forgotten, j It w as a sure forerunner of that victory which awaits j < ti.e Democracy in this State. The meeting was ca!- ' led at 7.. o clock, but the different sections of the ' consolidated city did not arrive upon the ground un- - tii .liter D o clock, ihe southern wards formed at i I us-yunk road and V\ ashmgton street j the western | ncr of Frankford road and Hanover street, amf lA)e 1 north-western wards at the corner of Broad and Coat-- streets, and proceeded to the square, accomp- t anted by bands of music. J t At about half-past seven o'clock, Col. Florence a- I rose, and called the meeting to order. Mu. Flohkm i: said In undertaking the pleas- J . ing duty of presenting to you the list of names which ( will be submitted as the officers of this meeting. 1 urn sure 1 nay be indulged m a few remarks that i this great oci a-on seems to inspire, I congratulate the twenty Thousand peisons pfes-nt that they have assembled spontaneously, upon This sacred ground. ' to return thanks to Almighty Cod that the spread of . heresy has been stayed in the land where repose the ( bones of the great lather of this country. Cod he praised that these twenty thou.-and men have come together in one common min i, to a-sure our hreth ern in Virginia that we are with thern hear! and *oul, and return to them thanks for the noble deed they consummated on la-t Thursday. As a bright and happy coincidence, as many free men in the cifv of New York are now assembled in Tammany Hall, sending up shouts in honor of the same great occasion, and it is our duty to unite with our brethren in New York by sending them greetmg ot congratulations on this, the mutual occasion, o! rejoicing. The following was read and despatched to the i meeting tn Tamany Hall, New-York : Prima®*i.pnt.i, May 31, ISS-7. To the Chairman of the Democratic Meeting Tamany Halt, JVeto 1 ork. The Democracy of Philadelphia assembled thi ewening to the number of 50,000,-in Independence : Square, within sound of the tocsin of American Liber- j tv, desire to interchange congratulations with their brethren tn V irginia, and pledge the Keystone, in her next contest, to stand by .the side of the old Dimm -10)1. Mr. Florence then rea 1 a letter from F.x-Gov. j Btgler, in which he regretted exceedingly his inabil ity to attend and take part in the proceedings of the i meeting, convened to rejoice over so glorious a vic tory in Y irgmia. 1 hough alr-ent he hoped he would not for that reason lie lost to the spirit of the occa- j ' sion. 'The letter was received with loud and continued applause. Mr. Florence continued : | It is fitting and inspiriting to the heart* of the pa triots of America to come Together, under a call for a i union meeting, and as that meeting, i of the united Democracy, let us, in the name ol the Democracy ot | the city ol Philadelphia, tit the language of St. Paul, < say, in all heart anil spirit to thir-e in New York, as -1 sernbled at old Tamany, "Let brotherly love con ; ttrine." [Applau-e.] As it would perhaps be intrusive, if not improper, , to further detain you before the meeting is luily or ! garuzed, I shall at once proceed to the discharge ot my duty, by reading the li-t of officers of this meet ing. ; Ojfirent un met omitted frrr tnnt of room. ] The meeting being thus organized, Mr. Bobbins, ; on taking the chair, spoke as follows: (•KM r.PMKN :—Accept my thanks for the dLlin -1 gnished honor you have conferred on me, by select ing me for your presiding officer on this very impor tant occasion. The victory which we meet to celebrate, is one of ' the utmost moment to the welfare of our country. — it is a triumph of long established national principle* over error and fanaticism. And in the opin.on >">! many intelligent men, it is the most important victo ry that has been achieved since the great contest be : tween Mr. Adam- and Mr. Jefferson, which resulted in the election of Mr. Jcfierson lo the Presidency of ' ■ the United States. Our opponents, with their secret organization, swept over the Northern and Northwestern States iike a tornado, and their progres- was never checfcd ■ ' or arrested until they fried their strength in the old ; i patriotic State of \ irginia. , I They boasttngly told Mr. Wise that he would be . I defeati-u by some twenty or thirty thousand; but be, ( nothing daunted, buckled on his armor, and met the ' qur-tion openly and boldly, and in-tead of being de- I fea'cd, he tva* elected by tea or twelve thwanil ' mtjtity. \k, therefore, gentlemen, have great came to re- I joict the result, am! > hav- reason to believe that : Peniylvams will profit by the illustrious example set y ber by Virginia.

Jin Cadwalader, Esq., said, Fellow Democrats, bretren in a righteous thi- i-> no ordinary oc casion whifh we meet together. The two great seat of commerce in the United States—New York ; amPtiiladelphia —are to-night simultaneously as-ein : bfer for the purpose of exchanging their mutual con , gradations and heralding loitti their approbation to the, fellow DemocrSTs in every section ot the Union, . on i occasion of which the interest can oniy be niea f surl by the importance of the late cnsi-. in which ' theecurity of the union ol States has been involved I in gieni as yet unsurpassed in our national history, i Tail* Dion lias hitherto depended upon the laitbtul : ageey of Democratic Republicans in protecting the ngfs of all classes who were threatened with oppres j sto from intolerance. Political intolerance had thiateued one class—religious intolerance another, i Dot kinds of intolerance had been ruu.bmed lor the oj jession ot the third. -[Applau-e.] I Ire Democratic party, regardle-s of temporary selmterest, has fearles-ly, on every occasion, been at land lor the rescue of all. (Applause.) Their I potu-ai strength, as the reward ot this political vir • tusbas hitherto been founded on their alliance with ' thsrgriculturul population and with our naturalized feW-citizens, both of which classes HI return for thiprotection of the Democracy, have always been lined in the support of Democratic principles. I coteive that the late election in Virginia was a i trimph over a band of conspirators, insidiously a-- sopited fur the purpose of sowing dissension between tbiagricoltural population and the naturalized Amer icas. Regarding lUimportanre in this light, 1 would i asltlie attention of the meeting to a lew ha-ty ob seiutior:s 01 the character of the agricultural ti.ier esfrif which the Democracy ha- thus been the recug nfc-d protectors. Generally, throughout The Union, Ti(sagricultural population, particularly thaj more rrrote from our Atlantic seaports, ha- lonr.d an irn j rrtnity from oppressive taxation in that economical j sjtem of limited expenditure in aif.tir- of govern nint, for which our party was contrasted so strongly will their political opponents, who had always ini tiated an alliance with the commencal classes in rmparntive disregard of the agricultural interest. Al the fiscal agents of enlarged financial operations -nil artificial regulations of commerce, tending to eltravagant outlays—had been of anti-Democratic pientage. The con-equence was a natural reliance o the farmer on his Democratic protectors, and a i ri-iproca! support of the Democracy by those who erjoyed the benefit of tins protection. But the par ti-iiiar agricultural interest which depended on this potection was that of the planter in the slavebolding fates. Our sister States of the South had united with u qder a geneial government, upon Constitutional fudges of immunity tiorn interference in their do ne-tie affairs. The domestic institutions of the-c hates would have been sacrificed with a total d>s- Bgatd of the Constitution, it they had not received e unwavering support ot the Democracy. Out moralized fellow-citizens depended, in like manner, <1 the Democracy lor the protection of tiie-e rqua ights, pi ivileges and immunities, against which an i-Deroocratic influence had been unceasingly exert *1 from the days of the alien and sedition laws.— low, these two interests, in alliance with the l>e rorracy, especially with the Demoeracv of th> Korth, had always hitheito been able to resist sue •• acces-iorn ol unfaithful mercenaries, corrupt auxil iaries, pvfending to belong To the party, but, truth, posessed of roue of its sterling p'i wiciples uiembersii if only in name." 1 i,e paly, swelled thus in numbers, by spurious pretenders to member-hip, was m. nh!l . those by ~0-e vole it. apparent majorities had bee,, augmented fr, the distribution of patronage, such ot these in, as scrambled into office (God grant they may be levy o! cour-.-, did not become Know-Noth ings. ."who were disappointed in their expec tations ot o)e, became ffailors.
