SPEECH OF COL. BLACK AT CHICAGO. Captain VVvman and Gentlemen ok the Light Guards.— VW have come to exchange friendly and fraternal salutations on this anni versary of our National Independence. We ; have brought with us a token and testimonial of the cordial sentiment which is entertained by 1 those we have the honor to represent towards your gallant company, and all the good people of this goodly city. The first offering of friendship from Penn sylvania to Illinois is the Flag of the American Union. Our feelings will suffer no violence if the gift is accepted as "a sign and a token" of earnest attachment on the part of Pennsylvania to your noble State, and every several sister State of our common confederacy. (Cheers.) "The Duquesne Greys of Pittsburgh" have commissioned us to offer to you, in their name, this brilliant stand of colors. Our hearts have fully entered into the performance of this proud and pleasant duty. It is right that I should tell you something of the Deques!)" Greys, and this 1 shall endeavor to do without a sacrifice of delicacy or good taste. Mv personal association with them has been lung and intimate. Having no present active connect ion with the company, J trust that 1 may, with propriety, speak of their past ser vices. their signal virtues and reputation. In the Mexican campaign they volunteered in file Ist IVnnsvlvania Regiment for the war.— Their entire conduct was so gallant and merito rious, that no soldier need blush or tremble to take from them the same American flag under which tfiey fought and conquered lor our coun try. Few ol til" "Corps" survived the dangers of the distant field—enough however to form the nucleus of "tfle Duquesne Greys" as- they now exist. Saf- guardians of their own reputation, and faithful, always; to the name and memory of the dead. { A pplause.) The speaker here referred to the two cities cf j Pittsburgh and Chicago. Their infancy and 1 early history were in manv respects alike. Both J were mihta: y outposts. Pittsburgh sprang from j old Fort Duquesne and Chicago took her first ' beginning from a Block H use. Through much tribulation ami many dangers, their existence lias been achieved. Both are now prosperous and populous cities, interested largely in manu factures and every branch of commerce. Your city has quickened into full life and manhood almost hv magic. The sun set upon a wilderness, a lake and a river, and rose to re ceive tiie smiles and salutations of a hold and thriving people. (Lorn! cheers.) Mythology was wont to start!" us with the story of a God dess leaping in full armor from the brain of Jove. Chicago, as a fact, surpassed far the fable. She has leaped from her own brain, clothed with the armor of enterprise and peaceful industry to a chieve new and noble conquests. (Immense applaus-.) Your city now is a type of our coun try, whose extending greatness is but beginning to he fully felt. When Dr. Franklin was our representative at th" court of Louis the XVI, he was asked bv the King what would be our probable increase of population, in cas" the colonies were suc cessful. He replied that he thought the popu lation would double itself every twenty-five years. Tie* first census was taken in 171)0, and between that period ar.d UKIO the population doubled every 221 years. The great philoso pher and statesman calculated closely, hut with in th" mark. If we count for the future by a ratio ro greater than the past fully justifies, the setting sun of the last day of the nineteenth century wiil fill the eyes of a nation number ing one hundred and ninety millions of people. (Tremendous applause, which lasted several minutes.) On this day—this day of dnvs, let us pause for a moment to dwell on the delight ful thought, that one hundred and ninety mill ions of American Freemen will gather, as we ar* gathered, under th" same Star Spangh-d Flag tiiat floats to-day over the American Un ion. I know you will bear with me, (continued the speaker,) while I turn vour attention to the ! origin and significance of this Hag. It is not the Hag which the Colonies unfurled when the first blow was struck fot freedom. As late as February, 177b, we find an American ship of war carrying at her masthead "the rattle snake and the pine tree" with the motto "Don't (read on me," the inference naturally following "inv stroke is death." "The Stars and St rip- s" were adopt" 1 after the Declaration of Independence by th" Ameri can States in Congress assembled. The ratll ■ snake was a tierce and hostile banner fit only for war. It was "of the earth—earthly." But the other has its firmament in the heavens ami to them appealed for its stars. While it flashes lire in conflict, it adorns with benignant smiles the paths of peace. (Applause.) It becomes a procession of Sabbath School children r.s well as an ar:ny in the field. Tt does not need to say "Don't tread on me," for the stars of heaven are there, and though they have no tongue, with most miraculous or gan they constantly do sav, no human FOOT can treas on us. (Great cheering.) .No par ticular star was singled out to adorn our flag.— Our fathers laid the whole heavens under con tribut ion and took in the firmament. The sweet influences of the Pliades are th-r". May we not hope that the sweeter influence of Bethle hem's star are also there ? No particular Stat" ofth" Union is indicated by anp- particular star. Yet tiier" is a star for every State, hut thank God, when we look at the flag, we cannot discern one star from an other. Illinois and Pennsylvania, Massachu setts, Virginia and the Carolina.*, are there.— All together forming one glorious constellation. Blot out but one, and you destroy forever the beauty and harmony id a!!. A word to you, my fellow-soldiers, and I have done. It is- related of Henry of Navarre, that before going info his greatest engagement he said to his troops, "when you are in doubt follow my white plume." May Ib" pardoned for saying to you, my countrymen, if a doubt comes over you in p< ace or war, in prosperity or adversity, follow the flag of the American t Union. God grant that the trembling wires, in their office of mystic communication, may this day carry uo sentiment over the States but filial love to the Constitution an 1 fraternal attach ment between the States of t:.e American Union. (Cheers.) Capt. W yman, I place in your hands for the company you command, this flag of the free.— It is the gift of true and tried men. "Take the banner to your keeping, W!nie our hearts are thrilled with joy- I nun th" men of Pennsylvania To the men of IPin >i [Gr at cle'i-iing.] THE BEDFORD GAZBTTE. Bedford, Audits! s, I 8.H5. G-.

E7*We were honored with a call by this distin gu -hed gentleman, a few days since, and were pleas ed to see him look so well, lie is spending a few | days at the Bedford Springs. To Capt. MCCAM.KS the people of Bedford and Huntingdon counties are I more indebted tor the great work which has opened i up our immense Broad Top Coal Region than to any ! other source, and ins name will ever be dear to our : j citizens. An accomplished gentleman, possessing ; the liuest business qualities, and purest integrity, whatever he undertakes always seems to prosper.— j Vie hope he may long live to see the advantages the public wiil derive lrom his spirit ot enlerptize, and | to still further encourage others to acts worthy the' great State of which we are a part. EULOGIES I ECU Some men's eulogies are written after death— others prefer to see them in print before "shuffling ] off this mortal coil." Fa.. Jordan, Ksq., would seem to be among this class, as his has already made its appearance, no douht to his great edification! Mr. J. thinks the (lazette is opposed to him on ac- . count of his "talents and high position," a point we should never have thought of had he not directed our I attention so especially to it, but the ruling passion is always strong, even in death. This Knlogist pa thetically tells when he came to Bedford—how strange he was—with whom he studied law—with whom he entered into partnership—how he has in- j Cleaned itl practice—how he was twice appointed ■ prosecuting Attorney—how "popular" he was in be- j ing elected to this office at a time w hen there was no Democrat w ho would consent-to take it, even though ; it could have been conferred by appointment—how j he was elected Chief Burgess of Bedford Borough— , and how he was considered the "/•<•" man of his j party in the Legislature by being notnr.! for Speaker j of the Senate at the close of the session, lie con- ; eludes this molest paper by the assertion that the j Bedford Gazette wi.-hes to "drag him down to its j own level (was he ever that high?) by maligning his | character both public and private a statement he ■ cannot sustain by a single quotation from our pa- ! per! A part of his history, however, he has not I written,and we herewith append it. When he was elected to the F-enate, his constituents thought he j would conform to their wishes w hen fairly express- . ed—but how they were deceived can be better irn magiued than expre-sed. The LIQUOR QUKSTION was one of the most exciting ever brought before j the people; and, notwithstanding his constituents! had decided against a Prohibitory Law, by an i:n- ; mense majority, .Mr. Joidan treated tiieir decision j with the mo>t perfect contempt, and voted for the ! famous, or rather infamous, Jug Law—and he con-j tinued steadily to vote against every effort to repeal it, while at least nineteen-twentieth-, of The voters: of this Senatorial District were demanding its re-j peal! This fact is known to everybody, and needs | no argument to enfoice it. Finding, however, about I the cio.se oi the last st*.--ion, that this humbug hail i been worn out, he meanly change 1 lus entire course j without putting upon record a single line of explana- | tiotitosbow why he had done so. After all his! speeches agaii,st rum-sellers, rum-suckers, wife- \ whippers, and liquor drinker* in geneia!—altera!! hi* j efforts to comjir,'. men to become the advocates of his fanaticism, he suddenly made a "Jim Crow" of him- | self, and w heeled about and turned about ami voted for aw holesale system of Licenses—arid afterwards | advocated the licensing of a house in Bedford to re tail Ale ar.d Beer ! To him. too, the tavern keepers are as much in debted as to any other fanatic for the high price they are compelled to pay for their licenses. As he an nounces himself to speak to the "Americans" of-St. Clair, in a school house, we invite some of his friends to inquire of him whether he is not justly entitled to the plank we have added to his Eulogy— and whether a man is fit to speak to freemen who deliberately irisuit., their judgment by opposing their wishes fairly and emphatically expressed at the bal lot-box, as they were in reference to the Liquor Law ! Fr. Jordan & Co. denounces the appointment of Mr. John G'. Bovvi.es. as operator at the Telegraph office tn this place, as a "Loco Foco Outrage," not withstanding he received his appointment from a Board which is exclusively controlled by the opjm nentsoi the Democratic Party, as is fully manifest from the fact that Capt. Banner, a violent Know Nothing, was retained here for years, and up to the day of his death. The Telegraphic Company sent Mr. Bowles here, we presume, because it is a point requiring a man of ability, and because Mr. B. is one of the best operator* in the State. We do not believe a single Democrat in Bedford knew anything about his appointment until announced a* above. If any Democrat asked for the removal of Wm. ,Mc- Mullen because "he was a mechanic and a mechanic hat' no business in the ofiee," let the name or names be given, or forever wear the brand affixed to falsehood in its dirtiest shape. U'e call upon the Chairman ot' the County Committee for the proof for so glaring a charge. The outrage upon the widow of Capt. Harmer, in the article alluded to, has uo parallel for meanness. E7~ Ihe County Committee have not yet been called upon for that StOOO Reward they offer to any man who ran show that James Buchanan ever advo cated the reduction of labor to 10 cents a day. No one dare meet the proposition, knowing the statement to he a deliberate fal-hood. HENRY NHODEMS, ESQ. two years since this gentleman left the Democratic Party and joined the Know Nothings, a right conceded by the Democratic party to all who saw proper to do so. For this act he was not de : nounced either publicly or privately, and was never threatened with RUIN and INFAMY for having ex ercised the right of a freeman. Now, however, al ter having fully satisfied himself that he done wrong I in joining that order, an order existing in violation of the Constitution and opposed to every principle ot : truth and justice, and having determined to abandon it, he is denounced for all that is vile arid contempti ble by this extraordinary combination to elevate ne groes and degrade white men. Such is the difference between Democracy and the elements that stand op posed to it. Democracy allows ail men to think and act for themselves—Know Nothingisni would com pel men to follow a few corrupt oliice-seekers, and place their conscience and judgment in their keeping. As for Mr. Nicodemus he has always borne the char, acter of an honest man and good citizen, and no stam ever rested upon his reputation except that ol con necting himself with Know Nothing i.-m, of which he has honestly repented, and lor which he deserves the respect of ail good citizens. Mr. NicoiiKiics has frequently been elected by the citizens of Bedford to posts ol trust and honor, and I never was defeated we believe except when he run for Treasurer ot the Comity, and his defeat on that : . occasion was owing to the fact that his r.ame had been connected with tlre political temperance move : ment then agitating the public mind—a movement which, tor a season, cajoled many Democrats, who were temperance men, into the ranks of the opposi tion, believing that party to be honest in its proles sions ol love tor the cause ol temperance. '1 hey iotind out, however, that tile most radical advocates of temperance, who belonged to tlie Whig party, were willing to vote tor any lover of rum rather than j support a temperance man who belonged to the Detn- : ocratic party—and to this cause alone was Mr. Xieo- ; detnus indebted for his detrat for Treasurer. If pro- I lessuig ton]ieraiicc. wings had voted for him lie would : have been elected by a handsome majority, but be; did not get a simile vote in that quarter, whilst at : least a hundred Democrats refused to vote lor him, because be was designated as the political temper- 1 ante candidate. ; But suppose we take Mr. Nicodemus to be the de i graded man he is now represented to be by Fr. Jor- j i dan & Co. in what position does it place this virtuous \ ; firm They made Mr. Nicodemus the President 01 j their Council, the Secretary of their County Commit tee, and, consequently the bosom and confidential as- j t soeiate of Mr. Jordan—they gave him their unani- j moos vote for Justice of the Peace, and even 8 votes more than were given to Mr. Jordan for Burgess, \ thus placing him one head higher than the said Fran- f eis. Now, it the Know Nothings of Bedford County were willing to make Mr. N. the head and front ol 1 i their order, and their candidate for Justice of the i Peace, In wring him to be the mean man they now represent him to be, does it not prove that a convict j ! Corn the Penitentiary could as easily have obtained their siifirages as either Jordan or Nicodemus, had i he been placed in nomination by a majority of these false-styled Americans'' If Mr. Jordan's -'high posi tion" is attributable to the fact that he was elected | Chief Burgees by the Know Nothings ot Bedford, ' does it not follow that .Mr. Nicodemus' "position" jisof a "higher" order than his .' Or is this rule in ; tended to work one way for a Lawyer, and another I way lor a "Mechanic 7 " ! The fluttering caused by the withdrawal of Mr. 1 Nicodemus shows that more than or,e bird has been j | badly wounded! We advise them to take it easy, ■ I however, as this is only the beginning to a geiieial stampede. s'or I''s"Ct" Trade! CC7" Our K. N. opponents have not only abandoned j their opposition to the TARIFF policy of the Uem : ocratic Party, hut have actually come out iri favor of j free trade! They charge, as a burning shame, that the poor man is paying a tarllf of live cent-, per i pou;id on sugar to keep up 1100 manufacturers ol" the i article, the very thd-.g they have heretofore alleged as the greatest blessing That could be visited upon the poor. A "High Tariff" and "Protection for the j sake of Protection," has heretofore been the rally ! ing cry o! Federalism*. Now it is: Down with the I Taritl give us free trade—so that the foreigners . i may send in their supplies to the destruction of our own manufacturers. The Democratic policy always was right—always will be right—and always must rule this Nation if we would be a prosperous people. C~?"Fr. Jordan it Co. in speaking of the late Dem ! ocratic Meeting held in Ft. Clairsville, assert that i , one half the number were in a beastly slate of in ! toxication, a fact we desire the very large and re i spectable audience who attended that meeting to note down as a specimen of the estimation in which j Farmers are held by the leaders ol Know Nothing j ism in Bedford. The only place that liquor could be J had was at the Hotel of Mr. PETER AMICK, and all 1 who know- him know that he is not the man to make | people "ueaecret circular recently addressed to the K. N. Committees of the different Townships, says that Bedford County can and must be carried against the Natianal Administration. This is strong language to emanate trom a weak stomach, and about which we think the people will have something to say. To declare that the freemen of Bedford County must sustain the rotten and sink ing fortunes of Know N'othingism, is to proclaim that they are the mere tools of this stereotyped chair man, and that thpy have no opinions of their own 1 li.

It was a union barbecue, where several thousand Kentucky freemen and sev eial hundred Kentucky ladies assembled in a beauti ful grove to consult* together upon the momentous cri-is which is now upon the country. Hon. Richard 11. Stanton called the meeting to order, and introduc ed Col. George B.
