THE BEDFORD GAZETTE. Bedford, Tlarih I t. 1 5.16. G. W. Bowman, Editor and Proprietor- FOR PRESIDENT, HQS. JAMES ii[(HAm._ OYCOL. JOHN \V. FOBNKV lias been chosen Chair man of the State Central Committee, a position for ! which he is eminently qualified. We may expect, ' during the next summer, some ol the ablest addresses j ever published in Pennsylvania. Forney is the man to make a pen talk, and to talk hinasell. OJ-H. J. STAHI.K, Esq. the talented Editor of the Gettysburg Compiler, is the I.lector lor this District, j and we can say, ir. all candor, that we would as soon ; vote for him as any other man in Pennsylvania. He is not very large, but he is AIX MAX, and a Democrat in the most comprehensive sense ol the term. He is a beautiful writer and fine speaker, ami we hope to introduce him to the Democracy ol Bedford C ounty j lieiore the Campaign closes. CT7"Many of the papers announce John Vers* man a-a delegate to the National Convention from the 17th District. This is one of the blunders of the tele graphic wires. The delegate alluded to, is Hon. JOHN CESSNA, of Bedford, as will he seen by refer ence to The list on the first page. [JA MEAN ACT.—Some evil disposed person sent us a notice. |K>st marked Berlin, Somerset couu- tabling what purported to be the Marriage ol John G. Weisel to Miss Mary Piper both of Bed lofd count) . We are authorized to say that no such marriage took place, and we venture to assert that a similar fraud will not lind its way again into the columns of the Gazette. "7" The Opinions of our townsman, JOHN A. J Bioflci.r, Esq. one of the Judges of the '-.Moot Court" held in Bedford during the iVrl-fr; composed of lion. A. KINO, C. J.—Hon. Jon MANN. and JOHN A. Br.oin.' T. Esq.—are about to he pub lished in Philadelphia early in April next, in pamph let form. Price 25 cents per copy. Some of these Opinions have already been published in the Gazette, arid, from our sentiments oi their worth, and fire n pinions of other- competent to judge, we have no hc -itation in saying that they will prove highly inter esting to the general reader, containing, as they do. a great fund of legal information, very creditable to j their author. We have no doubt the work will meet with ready ami extensive sale. ITiij&ni MATTERS' Uy At the call of tire Trustees, the Presbyterian j Congregation of Bedford assembled at the Church on last Saturday forenoon; and, in the course of an hour nearly enough of Pews were disposed ol to meet the annual salary oi the Pastor, Rev. Mr. SAMI-I.K, who | Iras accepted a call, and is at present with us. He preached on last Sabbatii to ihe evident satisfaction j of his audience, and wili, Providence wilting,preach riitain on next Sabbath, after which, we presume, he 1 will return AA ith the view of bringing bis littie fami ly to Bedford. The unanimity and good feeling manifested at the meeting alluded to, gives gratifying assurance of the future prosperity of the Church—and we have every reason to believe that the Congregation have been very fortunate in securing the seivices of Mr. S. who is a gentleman of piea-ing addres-, and high ca- ' jiaeity. Modest and humble in his deportment, he ' presents the appearance of one fully devoted to his -acred calling. Let him receive that encouragement ' which is due from a congregation to their pastor. j ' The meeting unanimously Resolved, That each ' member should pay hi- pew rent quarterly, in ad- ' vance. to ti.e Treasurer ol the Trustees, Hon. S. J.. !li -set t., the fir-t payment being due on the first of April, when it is expected that this duty will be performed promptly, without any further solicita tion. Will any falter f A little time will show. The Trustees will proceed, ill a few days, to col- : !Wl tlit-inscriptions yet remaining on the Pat ton- ' .!+*. "WSUrliose w hose iiuiues me on ihe paper would vjefreler :t courtesy by calling on the Treasurer at once, with the view of making immediate payment. The Bible is Opposed to kuow-nothnigism! C . We have heretofore said that the Bible repu diate.- Know Nothingism in all its teachings. In ad dition toother evidence adduced to prove the ia<-r. we offer the following, which will he found at the Mth chapter of Leviticus, and 'JJd \ei-e; " Ve shall have one manner of law. as well ; or the stranger, as for one of your own country; for j I nm the Loid your God." Could any thing be more comprehensive or more j easily understood than this.' Say w hat they may, ; and squirm as they will, the Know Nothings desire rhe passage o' -uch laws as will degrade and disgrace j the "stranger," whilst the Bible commands us to | ireat the "stranger" as one of our own country, with the admonition that He is the "Lord" and •-God" of j ALL ! Now. with this emphatic declaration from I The Supreme Being himself, is it not wonderful that J any sane<span, but more especially a Minister of the j Gospel, or other professing Christian, would dare to 1 take an oath to DO what his Maker has expressly commanded him NOT to do ! But Dr. BONO tells us ! there are evils in the land for which he knows of no other "remedy" than the action of oath-bound mid- | night Lodges! Suppose we point trie Rev. gentle- : mail to a pa—age oi Scripture which ought to re lied sufficient light to illuminate his bewildered , mind. A reference to the Ith chapter of St. Mark, j from the :57th verse to the conclusion of said chap ter, discloses the following sublime sentiment-: !!7. And there arose a great storm of wind, and t he waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. ■ IS.

And lie said unto them why are ye so fearful? how i< it that ye have no faith? •11. \nl they feared exceedingly, ami said one 'o another, What manner of man i- ibis, mat even the wind and lite sea obey him? Does Tir.vr "MASTER" still live ? If so, is he not as capable of "remedying any earthly evil" as lie was to-still the lury ol' the wind and to calm the boisterous waves of tile ocean ! How truly it may be,j3id of tlio-e Preachers who seek to correct what they assume to be evils by conspiring with Tnfideli tv in its rno-t odious form—"How is it that ve have r,i> fa ; th ?"

The reason why so many do- ! quen? and hm 'Gamely worded prayers fall upon the ear as an "empty nothingness,'' is because theirau thors lack the one thing needful, "faith in God."

The Know-Nothings carried the Legislature ol \ r )s by a majority ol about three to one. Their labors consisted principally in passing the Jug Law! They tried to elect a V. S. Senator, but could not do so, each taction sticking to their own man, and charging the other with ihe blackest of crime, occupying months in an examination ol their own bad charac ters, as charged by themselves. This same Amen rjn party carried the present Congress by nearly the same majority, and look two monthsto organize, at a cost to the people of SIIIO,OOO ! They tried to elect a Serjeant-at-Arms and Printer to Congress, and could do neither, placing both these highly important trusts in the hand* of those they denounce as jesnits ! Such is Know Nothing Americanism. \ SIGN: fry The Hol'idaysburg Whig, one ol the most rad ical opposition papers in the Mate, in the issue ol last week, gives the names of forty-five old line whig papers in Pennsylvania that refuse to support Fill more and Dnnel-on. The Editor says the hand wri ting is on the wall, and that Republicanism will place the Fillmore ticket nowheie! Such is the har mony of the factions opposing the Demociacy ! The Stale toiiveutiou. Cy We publish on the first page of the Gazette of to-day the entire proceedings of the late Democratic State Convention, to which we invite the serious attention of all candid men, satisfied that those who read them will be amply repaid for the time thus spent. The Convention, it is conceded on all hands, was the most able and talented body of men ever as sembled at Ham-burg in a similar capacity, and the speeches, nominations, and resolutions, all indicate the most peifect harmony in the Democratic ranks of Pennsylvania, and give as-uranceof an overwhelm ing majority for the Democratic Tickets both of Oc tober and November next. It i- truly refreshing to lead sn.rh proceedings alter being bored by those of the Abolition and Know Nothing National Conven tions which recently met a r Pittsburg and Philadel phia. Let the people compare them, and then ask themselves, as conscientious men, if the Democratic Party is not the real American Party—the Party of the Country and the Constitution—arid the only Par ty to which any true friend of our glorious institu tions can safely %eiong? The following notice of the proceedings oi the Convention, from that able anil reliable Democratic Journal, the Pe tin sylvan tun, is forcible and to the point: "What a marked contrast there is between tire proceedings of the Democratic Mate Con vention, and the miserable abortions which met in our city recently, under the name ot Know-Nothing Councils. The one all liar inonv, the other all discord. The former actu ated bv a real love oi country, and desiring to perpetuate the blessings oilier tree institutions, so that all the world may catch inspiiation from their humanizing benefits. The latter drawing crude notions from the dark ages ot history, and proscribing: man tor the accident ot his birth, or the convictions of his conscience. How could the actions of the latter be otherwise than dis cordant ? Wherever the Evil Principle dwells, there will be strife. Within the Secret Lodges is concentrated all that is wicked in social and political economy—hence Virtue has fled she may be safe in her avocations—to the em brace of the Democracy of the land—and tlie hopes of the country are now centred in our ac t ions. Our Con vent ion has presented to the Nation the ablest living Statesman of the age, whose large experience and prudent nnnd are safe guarantees of a successful administration of our National affairs. He began at the first round of the ladder of Statesmanship, and perfected himself in each step ot elevation, until he reach ed Ihe top, a giant in intellectual magnitude.— Pennsylvania, a unit in her demands, now pre , sents Mr. Bi;< IIAN\N to the T'nion, the loiemost man of all this Nation. She has been put off", front time to time, with empty compliments upon her Democratic integrity, and fraternal } consistency : but justice has still been denied i her. An aroused Democracy, both at home and abroad, will have no further delay. As our candidate excels in wisdom, so Pennsvlva nia excels in forbearance : but even the most ex j alted virtue in mankind will giow cold in well doing, if it meets no recognition at human i hands, but compliments which insult by their i nun.her and sameness. Mr. BUCHANAN has been trained to Statesmanship. The great | CtiOMWELL followed little events, before he ventured to govern great ones. NAPOLEON never sighed for the sceptre, until he had gain- I ed the truncheon, nor dreamed of the imperial • diadem, until he had conquered a crown. Lit tle children sometimes cry for the moon ; but it is because tliev tancy thev can touch it. The moment they discover it beyond their reach, their desire to grasp it ceases. Mr. BUCHANAN ! has reached his present eminence bv degrees, beginning hi- career with the smaller events of life, and growing to greatness in experience and intellect by the only method open to mortals. He is sensible of the fact, that thev who move in ttie higher spheres, are like the heavenly bodies in the firmament, which have much ad miration, but no rest. It is not necessary to ■ invest a wise man with power, to convince him that it is a garment bedizened with gold, which dazzles the beholder by its splendor, but op presses the wearer by its weight. Whilst oth ers may look upon power as the source of hap piness, Mr. Brcn.tx.vN, by the light of his rea son and the greatness of his soul, views it as a thing of small value, and unworthy his atten tion. except where it can be made serviceable to the welfare of his country. Power was forc ed upon Nr vi.v, by his countrymen, and Koine uas peaceful and prosperous under his admin istration, And such may be said to have been th case with WASHINGTON. TO minds of the highest order, power has no charms. So it has been with Mr. BUCHANAN, in all this canvass, in no manner seeking the honor of the highest : post on earth, but leaving it to the people, while he was fiir removed from political strife, to shape their actions in accordance with their own intelligent convictions of right. He is the people's candidate, spontaneously presented, ! and not the protege of scheming politicians. THE MARKETS.

WISE. RICHMOND, (Ya.,) March 3, ISAG. DEAR sap : 1 received yours of the 29th ult this morning. The slip which you enclose from* the Baltimore Republican of the 27th February® which puiporisto report the remarks ol th>J Han. A. H. H. Stuart in the know-nothiuf nominating convention at Philadelphia, is tjjp' first and only printed report of those remarks I have seen. According to this report Mr. Stuart said : "■Even .Mr. Wise, at the lime he stumped the State of Virginia, said that the administration of Fillmore tons Washington-like throughout Now, 1 am constrained to believe that Mr. Stuart could not have made this remark. In the first place, I never utlerrd nor thought such a sentiment in my life; secondly, I don't think Mr. Stuart heard me at all on the stump during my canvass; if he did, he never heard such a sentiment from me, and, if such was reported to him, the report was incoriect: and, thirdly, Air. Stuart, a member of Mr. Fillmore's cabi net, could hardly have been so immodest as to boast that anybody had said that Mr. Fill more's administration was "Washington-like THttOFGHOt-T for "The planter was too thick For all the praise to stirk Again : the report says : "Mr. Wise claimed his election by the vote of 17.000 out-side whigs." 1 must contradict this sentiment, ton, wheth er made by Mr. Stuart or not. Certainly, the cause of civil and religious freedom, maintained by the democracy of Virginia, was r.obly sup ported by many of the truly conversative, con scientious. and constitution-loving whigs ol our State, but 1 never was able to fix their number. We gladly took tliem in exchange lor the rene gade democrats who sneaked awav from their former friends, and took a test oath, in the se cresy of the culvert, by the light of a dark lan tern. Whether these whigs can be reclaimed by the new nomination at Philadelphia, time will show. 1 think they cannot be. Mr. Fill more is no longer a whig : he has been chan ged by the hocus-pocus of the necromancy of Sam. In the next presidential canvass there will be new issues presented bv three parties: the white man's party—the democratic ; the black rr.an's party—the black republicans: the mulatto parly—the cross of the northern and southern know-nothings—the ticket of Messrs. Fillmore and Donelson. Ail nature abhors va cums and mongrels ; and so do conscientious, conservative, and constitution-loving whigs of Virginia. They can put up better vyith pure Africans—wool, flat nose, odor, ebon-skin and gizzard, foot and all—better than they can bear the cross of the Caucasian arid Cuffey which you call a— -1 ask you fo publish this letter in the I'nion, in order to correct the ;-port of the speech of Mr. Stuart. truly and hastily, HENRY A. WISE. A Know ftotliiug Among (he Jesuits. In a letter from Rome, dated January 1, we find the following interesting paragraph : "Our friends, ex-President Fillmore, Dr. Foote and Mr. Jewett, vvere'at the Church of the Jesuits, and appeared to enjoy the ceremo nies quite as well as others. The ex-President has only been here two or three days. Cass makes a party for him on Thursday evening of this week. I think the Papal government will make something of a lion of him, as they did of Mr. Van Buren last winter." Think of that! Mr. Fillmore the Jo suits at Rome, and the Papal government ma king a lion of htm. History of the Juniata Valley Col. JONES, of the Hoilidaysburg Standard, (one of lite very best papers in the State, too,) has collected the materials for a history of the Juniata Valley. Such a hook has long been needed, and will he lead with great interest, particularly when to its truthfulness and vary ing descriptions of interesting events is added the nice sense of the beautiful, so characteristic of its author.

Tin: HOUSE AMENDMENTS. —The Select Com mittee ot the House of Representatives, to whom was teferredlhe Senate's Liquor License hill, reported the same to the House on Thurs day, with numerous amendments, which were severally adopted, with one or two trilling mod ifications. They make the lollowing changes in Mr. Browne's bill: Prohibition against ea ting-house and restaurant licenses is removed, and the Courts of Quarter Sessions of the sev eral counties and Appraisers of Philadelphia, are authorized to grant licenses for restaurants, oyster-houses, and eating-houses, to be classified under the Act ol 18+9, and privileged to sell domestic wines, cider, porter, ale, beer, and other malt and brewed liquors, upon paying double the license-fee required by the Act of 18+9—said license in no case to he less than $"2 O. In Philadelphia, the keepers of restau rants and eating-houses may sell spirituous li quors in addition to malt liquors, upon paying tavern license lates. The rates of license lbr breweries and distilleries are reduced from treb le to double the rates fixed by Senate bill. The classification of tavern-licenses has been redu ced, in the sixth class from S2OO to $l5O, in the eighth class from $75 to SSO, and in the ninth class from SSO to $25. The ratio of li censes for taverns is made one to every one hun dred taxabl-s in the cities and counties. Im prisonment for violations of the law is stricken out. Brewers ol malt liquors and manufactu rers of domestic wines may bottle and sell the same in quantities of one dozen bottles or more, without license. The prohibition ot the em ployment of minors in tin* manufacture or sale oi liquor is stricken out. !L/"The la w as passed by the House is a stringent license law, and would, we think, be acceptable to the people. Tt is now in the hands of a committee of conference, of which Mr. Jordan is a member. We may have their decision in time for the next Gazette. (LP When JACKSON lived, the Whig pa pers branded him and all his acts as "worse than war, pestilence, and famine."

An unscru pulous secret designing loe forces upon you a contest for township officers, officers heretofore elected without excitement, and most generally bv a union of parties, so as to subserve the best interests of the township. .\ow a secret and dangerous organization has prepared a ticket j for each township, and by oaths and pledges, j have bound its members to support the same. It moves stealthily, and asthe thief in the night, and unless met by FREEMEN will succeed in their vile purposes. AROUSE, then, DEMO CRATS—prepare lor this forced contest—meet the DARK LANTERNS in the open light of' dav nominate good men and true—prepare your selves tickets—go to the polls manfully, and success will follow. REMEMBER, Ihat the Dem ocrats in no township are so weak that they i cannot elect an INSUECTOU OF ELECTION. Se cure this OFFICER by uniting on a sound, intel- I ligent Democrat. Remember that an election of IMMENSE importance takes place in the ensu- < ing fall—now is the time to prepare.

The Evening Journal refuses to see in the course of parties— such as the taking up of Blair, Banks, Fremont, Houston and Donelson — any recognition of the greatness and the political fidelity to the Constitution ol the Democratic party. \et three of these men are taken up JI because they are supposed to bear in their gar- j! merits some odor ol Jacksonism. One is a son-f in-law of Benton : the othei is a Democrat of' Massachusetts. Their cecession is proof of the dissolution of the Democracy — so says Jour nal. Vain sophistry ! Air. Blair will not bring ten Democrats of Maryland into the Black Re publican camp. Mr. Donelson's "fire-fly lamp*' will illuminate the "dismal swamp" of mock Americanism without attracting a single fol lower. Texas will be as Democratic without Houston as w ith hnn. The Democratic party will not be weaker lor the cecession: one hon ored names will only sink, severed from the connection to which they owed their promi nence. We mourn the loss of such men, not for our selves, hut for them. But they are still of use to the Democracy. They serve "to point a mor al and adorn a "tale." M-n will conclude— seeing how all sections lay down their arms and abandon their animosities, in oider to recognize the justice of the Democratic cause, and to con fer honors on the least of its leaders—that that party is the party of the country, and that in terest, as well as duty, invites all patriotc citi zens to its tanks.
