and which, if persevered in, must and will end calamitously. It is either disunion and civil war, or it is mere angry, idle, aimless disturb ance of public peace aii'd tranquility. Disun ion of what? If the passionate rage of fanati cism and partisan spirit did not lorce the fact upon our attention, it would be difficult to be lieve that any considerable portion of the peo ple of this enlightened country could have so surrendered themselves to a fanatical devotion to the supposed interests of the relatively few Ah icaits in the United States, as totally to aban don and diregard the interests of the twenty five millions of Americans; to trample under foot the injunctions of mora! and constitutional obligation, and to engage in plans of vindicative hostility against those who are associated with them in the enjoyment of the common heritage of our national institutions. Nor is it hostility against their Fellow-citizens of one section of the Union alone. The inte rests, the honor, the duty, the peace, and the prosperity of the people of ail sections are equal ly involved and imperilled in this question.— And are patriotic men in any part of the Union prepared, on such issue, thus madly to invite all the consequences of the forfeiture of their constitutional engagements? It is impossible. The storm of phrenzy and taction must inevita bly dash itself in vain against the unshaken rock of the Constitution. I shall never doubt it. I know that the Union is stronger a thousand times than all the wild and ciiemerical schemes of social change, which are generated, one after auother, in the unstable minds of visionary sophists, and interested agitators. I rely confi dently on the patriotism of the people, on the dignity and self-respect of the States, on the wisdom of Congress, and, above all, on the con tinued gracious favor of Almighty Cod, to main- tain, against all enemies, whether at home or a broaJ, the sanctity of the constitution and the integrity of the Union. FRANKLIN PIERCE. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21, 1855. - - - The Foreign Sews. The late arrival of the Steamer from Europe, brings information which shows that there is very little prospect of peace between the Allies and their stubborn antagonist, Russia. The in sulting proposition of the Allies to prohibit Rus sia having a fleet in the Black Sea, has been met with a counter proposition from the latter pow er, that none but Turkish and Russian vessels of war should navigate tiiose waters, the number of ships to be agreed upon by the only Nations interested directly in (lie question. This is Russia's explanation of the knotty third point in the articles submitted to her by the A ilies. The ' strip of land controlling the Saline mouths of the Danube will not be surrendered by Russia, so long as she is able to retain it, because such relinquishment would be an admission of her in ability to cope with the Allies. Sweden ap pears to be buckling on her armor, and Den mark will probably follow in the same direc tion. All Russia has to do, in order to over come this gigantic combination, is to put her self on endurance, as she did in the time of the great NAPOLEON. Another year, with a short crop for France and England, will set elements in motion in both tiiose Nations, which will re lieve Russia of their terrible pressure. How will the matter then stand with Sweden, Den mark and Turkey ? The swoop of the North ern Eagle may then be from the Mediterranean to the North Sea. What of Great Britain in that event ? The Vikengers tracked the latter waters centuries since, and Russia can find the lurrows of their vessels keels.

Mr. Clingman thought the House had degen- ! crated into a mere debating society. Voting was more likely to result in an election than discussion, because the latter only seems to in fluence parties and factions, thus increasing the j difficulty. The resolution was adopted. The House then proceeded to vote (or Speak er, Hie ballot resulting as follows; Banks, 94 : Fuller, 31 Richardson, t>9 j Pennington* 3 Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, 3, and Messrs. Por ter, Foster each one. Necessary to a choice, 102. Messrs. Quitman and Grow spoke each at some length, one defending the South, and the i other the North, concerning the slavery ques tion. Mr. Colfax gave a history of the adoption of •he pfeurality rule in 1849, saying that before its adoption eight similar propositions had come from the Democrats, and one from the Whigs. The Democrats then claimed to have a majori ty, but owing to defection in their ranks, could not all unite upon a candidate lor Speaker.- **The Republicans were now similarly situated, and should have the benefit of the rule The Democrats denounced the Whigs as bitterly then as they do the Republicans now. Mr. Babcock said if this was a mere squabble between national parties, there could be aetious objection to the adoption of the plurality vole. But the old Whig jiai ty was as white as snow, compared with the crimson guilt, speaking po litically, of the Republican party and when tie saw the adoption of the rule was likely to re sult in the election of a sectional candidate, he would be justified in standing here till the crack of doom in resisting it. Mr. Savage expressed similar views. -f Mr. Humphrey Marshall aud Mr. ol Illinois, in replying to Mr. Grow, earftstly de nied that Henry Clay had favored the passage of the Missouri restriction. Mr. Harris, in addition to documents, refer red to the testimony of Gen. Jessup in support of his position, saying that Gen. Jessup was pre.ient at that time and took notes. Mr. Grow referred to the declaration of Mr. Clay himself, m the Senate, in 1850, to show that the latter favored the line of 3d 30. After Further debate, Mr. Clingman offered a resolution, that for one week, unless a speaker, is sooner elected, no debate shall be in ordec un less by unanimous consent. The resolution was adopted by 45 majority, and the House adjourned. THE BEDFORD GAZETTE. Hertford, .fan. ISSG. G. W. Bowman, Editor and Proprietor- Democratic County Bcetins !

Mr, Big I was eiected Governor of Pennsylvania in libst r. j in which canvass ite defeated the celebruGy William F. Johnston, the well-known leader a! j the abolition forces. In that memorable canvass' j he advocated with signal ability the compromise I measures of 1850, including the fugitive slave ; law ; and in 1854, when a candidate for re election, he met the Nebraska issue upon the stump in a series of masterly and convincing j arguments. He was defeated in tiiat Campaign by the abolitionists and Know-.Not hi tigs. In j 1855, when the Democracy of Pennsylvania j met the hosts of fusion, and look issue with them in the most direct and emphatic manner, ! crowning their labors with an almost unprece dented Democratic victory, it was natural that they should turn-to the leader who had been i ; stricken down in the preceding conflict.

Hi ! preference lor Mr. Buchanan was known to th Democratic members of the Legislature, nine tenths of whom are Buchanan men, before h i received the caucus nomination. The oppo : Merits of the Democratic party may send bogu telegraph report over the lines, to all quarters but the effect will be destroyed by 11utfi over taking the falsehood. Pennsylvania is mor than ever unanimously for Mr. Buchanan, am tlie dullest dabbler in politics cannot fail to mak the discovery. DEMOCRATIC Govcaxou I.V MAINE.
