CORO.YO R : HENRY ESQ. OFR TMkET. | [£/=" We publish above the Democratic Tick- j et selected by the regular County Meeting on I Monday evening of the Court week. It should j have appeared in our last issue, but was neglec- j ted owing to circumstances to vv fiiCh vve have! already alluded. The 1 icket was chosen bold, open, and honest manner, and cont ™ns l the names of such men as every good citizen in j our couuty can vote lor, regardless of what may j have heretofore been their political sentiments.: The candidates for Assembly are sound, sensi- | ble men, and enjoy the fullest confidence of all j who know them. Messrs. SMITH and BERN- I HARD both stand pledged to go for the repeal j of the odious Liquor Law ot last session—there fore, every man who votes against them gives his endorsement to the measure. \V e place this fact plain ly upon record so that no one may j vote misunderstandingly. As the people deter mine we are satisfied. The candidate lor Treasurer, ISAAC MENCEL, Esq., is, perhaps, among the oldest citizens in Bedford County. He has paid his full share of taxes, and has never asked the people for an otfice. Even now, his nomination is not ul his asking. It was conferred upon him by the vol untary action of the Democracy without a par ticle of solicitation on his part. The otfice seeks him, and not him the office, and this can be truth fully said of every man on the Democratic Tick et. Mr. M. is as well qualified as any man in the county to discharge the duties of Treasurer, aud he lives in decidedly the most eligible and convenient place in the Borough—and, having no other business to engage his attention, the tax-pavers couldiaiways have the lullest and freest access to the Records of this Department. We do think that such a man, with a reputation entirely unspotted, can (ail to command the confidence of a majority of the votes of Bedford County. \ V The candidate for Commissioner, THOMAS VV. HORTON, Esq., is also a sound and reliable busi ness man, and would discharge the duties of the trust for which he has been nominated to the entire satisfaction of the tax-payers. Affa ble and corteous in his demeanor, he lias always appeared to be a.great favorite with the people, especially those who know hirn best. A more honest, upright, and sterling citizen than HENRY WERTZ, Esq., of Cumberland Val ley, who is the candidate tor Poor Director, was never presented for the suffrages of the ci tizens of Bedford County. lie is a model man, and so considered by all his neighbors. For Auditor, EOWAIID PEAKSO.V, Esq., is well known as one of the best writers as well as oue ol the best accountants who has ever occupied this highly responsible station. HENRY TAYLOR, Esq., the candidate forCoro nor, is well calculated to discharge its important duties, and, should any accident occur to the Sheriff, would fill the post with honor to him self and advantage to the best interests of the people. Now, Democrats and Freemen of Bedford County, you who iove open, lair, and manly dealing, is not this Ticket worthy your serious, active and generous exertion 1 Let every man go to work as if he felt that the responsibility rested upon himself alone, and the result cannot be doubtful. Hundreds honest Demo crats as well as good honest r \Vliigs, who were last vear led either to join or vote with the dan gerous Order of Know Nothings, from mista ken notions, will go with them no longer—and we most sincerely trust that every man who desires to stand before the world as a FREE MAN, will exhibit the fact by fearlessly vo ting the Democratic Ticket as presented above. Passaaure IViliiamsou la.se. C-7"The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, the Chief Justice anil alt the Jutices being on the linnet) at the tune, have <teculed against .his application—Justice KNOX dissenting. Justice BLACK delivered the opin ion of the Court. We have been too' much prostrated to be able to read either the opinion of Justice BLACK or Justice K\ox, and we have concluded to defer their publication until we get able to resume our duties, which we sincerely trust will not be long. We have already published the able opinions of Hon. JOUN K. K.vsc, of the U. S. Court, and Hon. ELLIS LKWIS, Chief Justice of this Commonwealth- It is under stood, we believe, that Justices Lou si* and WOOD WARD wilt also write out opinions. In due time we will publish all these great papers. We fear to place them tn press now, lest some errors might occur.— We consider this one of the most important cases •ever brought before the higher court of Pennsylvania. 14, - , - ; COUNTY FAIR. —The Third An nual Exhibition of the Franklin County Agri cultural Society wtll be held at Chambersbtirg on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the 2d, and 4-th of October next.

The following is a brief synopisis of the K. N. Liquor Law which goes into operation on the first day of October, 1853.

I The gallant Democracy of Bradford met in County Convention at Towanda, on the 4ih instant, aud nominated that true and incurrupt ibie Democrat, Col. Victor E. Piollet, lor As i setnbly ; H. S. Salisbury for County Treasurer Marry Elliott, for County Commissioner, and J. B. Beeves, lor Auditor. Col. John F. Means then submitted a series of resolutions, which ' wfre -unanimously adopted. We copy the tol ; loiving : Resolved, That we do not deem it necessary > j to reiterate, upon each anniversary of our nom -1 j mating Convention, the well-defined and long ! established creed of the Democratic parly, that . ! it is the party of progress, and the one under j which our country has risen to her present : strength and prosperity ; and although its poli ' j cy may for a time be misunderstood, yet it has ■ | always been found right in the end, and calcu ■; 1 ajed to promote the wellare and lights ol the [ j majority. Resolved, That the attempt to proscribe men because of their foreign birth, or peculiar reli gious views, is abhorrent to our feelings, ami meets with our unqualified condemnation. Resolved, That the so-called Republican par ly is a consolidation of all Ihe isms and factions tnat disgrace American politics—a heteroge neous mass, wanting capacity to direct, or prin ciples to govern, and without any object to at tain except the deleat of the Democratic party and its candidates, and that we in the embryo "Fusion" party of this country the same taction, alike destitute of principles, blind ly subservient to policy, and having tor its on ly end and aim, the personal aggrandisement of its leaders. Resolved , That we hail the nomination of the Hon. Arnold Plumer for Canal Commission er as a good omen tor the future. His practi cal business habits eminently qualify him for the jKjst ; and his irreproachable character, mor ally and politically, entitle him to the respect anq confidence of honest men ol all parties. The Democracy of the whole State will re joiqe in the unwavering tirm.'iess and untaulter ing devotion of their friends in Biadford. The hydra ol Abolitionism has raised its head there, and some whom the party has honored have bowed down to false gods, but the masses have remained true, and the clarion voices of Means, and Piollet, and Tozor, and the Chabbucks, and tliejOvertoiis now come to us reiterating in its luirh'ss every cherished principle of our faith. The Party of Contradictions. The citizens who are to vote at fhe coming elections should demand the Know-Nothing or acles to solve the following singular mass of contradictions:— Koow-Nolhingisnt is national in the South and sectional in the North ; is secret in New York and open in Georgia ; Catholic in Louis iana and Protestant in New England; black in Maine and white in Virginia ; it swears the son to proscribe the foreigner, even if that for eigner should he that son's father : it opposes the caucus, and settles its candidates in pack ed cabals : it elevates the negro and degrades the adopted citizen : it curses all tnonarchs, ' and adopts the creed of George the Third a- j gainst emigration ; it abuses the Pope, and de clares itself infallible ; it assails tbe Spanish inquisition, and imitates its clandestine perse cutions: it professes Christianity and proscribes its neighbor ; it adores the Bible and shoots down unoffending citizens ; it adores the con stitution, and sets up a test by that constitution prohibited; it pays a premium for treason to friendship, and affixes the brand of perjury to all who reluse to obey its. obligations : it asks' for free schools, and proscribes poor, helpless female teachers ; it repudiates the Catholic and admits the Infidel ; —to crown all, it perse cutes the must eminent native citizen w ho does not approve its mummeries, and protects the lowest of ruffians—it discards an Edward Ev erett fur a William Poole.— lVashington U nion. fCF-The Editor is improving, but is still con fined to his room.

The Sabbath Schools of Pattonsville and Yellow Creek, united on the first ult., in a pleasant grove, about one mile east ol Pattonsville, lor the puipose of celebrating the blessings and mercies ol Him who . governs the earth and rules the armies of Heaven. The morning sun shone out upon the neighboring | hills in all its splendor, and sweet smiles lit up liie 1 countenances ol the ?>abbath >chool Scholars, as they hastened to meet their respective leacheis and super | inteiulents at the appointed place, and ere the hour | of nine arrived they were seated in tbe M. E. Church I patiently awaiting their orders. Alter singing and j prayer they were iormest in the order of procession ! by the Chief Marshall, Mr. WILLIAM MUSLMA.N, | headed by the Woodbury lirass IJuud, which per- I lotmed most excellently sortie of the best pieces that !we have ever had the plearure ol listening to. The i procession moved on to the ground, where was pre i pared, by the Ladies of t'attonsviile and Yellow i Creek, a large table with all manner ot good things i lor young arid old, exhibiting the goodness and long torhearance man especial manner of our Heavenly Father both to the just and lite unjust. When they were ail comfortably seated, the exer cises ol tiie day were opened with singing anil piay er by the superintendents, after which addresses weie delivered by John E. S-aiterhelii, Rev. Mr. Heller and John C. Foor, Esq. The band played appropriate pieces aiter each address. A choir was also tunned which sang appropnate pieces. The table vias then surroundei! by the children and teachers, and an intermission ot three quarters at an hour, the audience was again entertained by speeches trom Mr. William l'etwiier, Thus. 11. C. hurch, (son ol Dr. Wm. liuicb,ot Pattorisville) Martin \ an liuren Spielman and Jacob finite, and a recitation by Miss Harriet P. bpielnian. The proceedings throughout the day being fine,no thing occurred to interrupt the harmony anil joy of the occasion, and the supeinteiidentf Air. James De tract, A. Hadderman and Henry C. Gales, are each entitled to rnucb couimendat ion for the manner in which they conduct their Sabbath Schools, anil the children certainly deserve credit Ibr their punctual atteudence and good behavior at the Sabbath School. O. The "Republican 5 ' State Convention. This Convention met at Pittsburg, on the sth inst., and after the transaction of some ' preliminary business, on motion of Rev. Sam uel Aaron, of tins place, Passmore Williamson, who is now confined in Moyamensiog Prison, for a contempt of' the United States District court, in refusing to make a true return to a writ of habeas corpus requiring him to restore the servants taken away by force from Hon. J. | H. Wheeler, Minister to Nicuarauga, tor Canal I Commissioner. Upon a member of tbe Con vention suggesting The difficulty that Mi. Will iamson would labor under to perform .tbe duties ot the office, on account of bis confinement, it is said Mr. Aaron allowed, that was nothing at all, he had a remedy that was as prompt as it was etticacious, arid that was, alter Mr. William son's election, for the Republicans to "repair to Moyatnensing prison, with no other arms than those which God has given them, and tear it down stone by stone. Another member of the convention agreed with his friend Mr. Aaron, and was in favor of releasing their nominee by tearing down the State prison stone by stone, not leaving one block upon another. We apprehend that Mr. Aaton and his friend w ill have considerable difficulty in getting their job of tearing down Alovamonsiog completed. 'Tiie convention adjourned without fixing a time when tins work is to be commenced. From the Philadelphia Argus. TKIOIPII OF THE JtDiHAKI OVER AB OLITION FANATICISM. In our second edition ol Saturday last, we published the opinions of the Supreme Court, delivered by Justice Black for the majority of the bench, Justice Knox dissenting, in the ha beas corpus case of Passmore Williamson, con fined in Moyamensing under a commitment of the District Court of the United States, in refu sing to obey its process. The process which he is imprisoned foi disobeying, was a habeas cor pus commanding him to produce the bodies of certain colored persons claimed as slaves under the law of V irguna. The Supreme Court of the State, in the present decision, refused a habeas corpus in Passmore Williamson to lake him from the custody of the United States. The grounds ot the Court for such refusal are un commonly lucid and satisfactorj - —at once sound in argument and convincing in Reasoning, and ii,*ist be universally approved wherever the opinions are deliberately read and <1 is pass inn ately reviewed. The attempt of the abolition ists to bring the State and Genet al Government into tollision, has most signally failed, through the ability, dimness and incorruptibility of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Had they faltered a moment in the strict line of Their du ty as conservators of the Constitution and the laws, anarchy arid bloody violence would inevitably have been tbe immediate conse quence. The result in this matter shows the vital importance of having men of the right stamina to preside over our Courts of law, whether State or Federal—men possessed of clear heads and stout hearts to discriminate be tween the distinctive rights, and to enforce the . behests and mandates of either. Were it other wise, tile judiciary would soon become a.muck erv and a larce, and be tinaily swept ofitrrely away in the let} spirit ot insubordinuti dT and anarchy. Without a tearless arid .-taale Judici- | ary no government could exist a single day.— Courts of equal jurisdiction cannot possibly in terfere with the proceedings of each other.— As Judge Black remarks, the Federal Tribunals, though Courts of limited jurisdiction, are not inferior Courts, and by consequence, their judgments, until reversed by the proper appel late Court, are valid and conclusive upon the parties, though the jurisdiction be not atiedged in the proceedings, nor in any part ol the re coid. l'he State Courts cannot go one step be hind the proceedings, ot the Federal tribunals. They have no more authority in law th tome between a prisoner and the United States Courts, to liberate him from custody, in a case like that ol Fassmooie Williamson's than they would have to countermand an order issued jby the Commander-in-Chie! of the United Suites.— These views are palpable enough to the simplest understanding—at once based in conimoo. ethics, and founded in common sense. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, undoubtedly, as a cotemporary cogently remarks, held in its hand the judgment which it gave on Saturday last, and the alternative of civil war. Had the Court listened to the senseless clamors ol the Abolitionists, it would have not only broken down its own power and influence, but would instantly have let slip the hounds ol havoc. A terrible and bloody collision between tin- State Federal forces must have been the necessary consequence. The duly ot the United States Marshall would have compelled bun to refuse the liberation ot Passmore Williamson—-this ie fusai would have resulted in his arrest, while the Sheriff having tire Marshal in custody would also have declined a liberation ul bis prisoner on a habeas corpus issued t>y tbe United Mates Court, and lor such contempt would na\V been seized by the troops ul Hit* United Mates anu placed in durance vile, at tile command of the I Federal prerogative. Thus the Mate and Fed i era! Courts would have come in direct cunHict, | and each attempting to assert its power, would have led to a state ot general excitement among i the people that nothing but the enginery ot war and the superior right and prowess ot State i or National soldiery would have finally settled. Happily, from such civil war—from such ter | rible strife and shedding ol fraternal blood—we ; have been saved by the wisdom and patriotism j ol the presiding officers ofThe Supreme Court i of Pennsvlvama. The punishment imposed by Judge Kane up on Passmore Williamson for contempt oh his court, is now fully sustained by the Supreme Court of this State. The Abolitionsts have either now to compel their tool to make due concession to the court that punishes him, or else gather together their fanatical cohorts, the crazy bloody-thirsty Red Republicans included, and attempt his liberation by storming and lev elling to the ground the Rastile in which he is confined! As the Supreme Court says, Pass inore Williamson holds the key of his prison in his own pocket. He can come out when he will, by making terms with the Court that sent inni ttiere. But if he chooses to struggle for a triumph—if nothing will content him hut a clean victory or a clean defeat—he cannot ex pect the court to aid him. n A On the 1 3th inst., at the Parsonage, in Mar tinsbuig, Rlair co., by the Rev.

He leaves behind him a wife and eight childieri lo mourn his Ios. The deceased originally trorn Ger many, had been a citizen of Bedford for a number of years, and conciliated to himself the love and repect ol his fellow citizens. He was remarkable for his industry, honesty and a most obliging disposition which made him a general favorite with all bis neigh bors.—The closing days of his life were spent in making a suitable preparation lor eternity. His strong religion- principles were strikingly displayed by the piety and penitence in winch he received the last sacrements oi the Church which he truly adorn ed by his christian walk.

The past history of the Academy will, we trust, be a sufficient guaranty of its iuture efficiency. The branches taught will be the same as heretofore. To MASTER PRINCIPLES will be consid ered the most important pursuit of the pupils; and while it will be the constant business of the Instruc tor to impart knowledge, it will also be bis aim to lead his pupils to make a practical application of their acquisitions. To load the mind with innumer able tnimulqs. without causing it to use them, would be like placing a bow in a child's hand, without teaching him how to bend it. In fine, it -hall be our object, as it has ever been, to lead the pupil to THINK. N. B. Instruction in Book Keeping in all its bran ches both Single and Double Entry will be given by the Principal. The Class in this study will be so ar ranged that any young men desiring to pursue this important branch in order to prepare themselves for clerkships can recite in it alone. This recitation will receive attention out of the regular school hours. Instruction in this branch will be extra and so chant ed.
