Pay of Members of (digress. | The New York Tribune, of the IStb, con tains an article denouncing the members of Con giess who voted for the bill iucry#jng their own ; compensation to $3,0u0. In this instance, that paper has acted independently of party consid erations, and the force of its condemnation falls on the heads pi'Giddings and a large number of other Black Republicans who voted for the bill. The Tribune gives the avesand nays on the passage of the bill. From the list it appears that of the members from the slave holding States, thirtv voted for the bill arid forty-three voterl against it. Seventy iree State members voted lor the bill and fifty-five against it. Ihe entile Massachusetts delegation voted in favor of it. The Rhode Island delegation voted tor it in solid column, (two deep.) Vermont and Connecticut gave each one vote against it. In the delegations of all the New England States together, the bill had a majority in its favor ol two to one. Arkansas, Louisiana* Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Virginia gave hut one vote each in favor of the bili. Mr. Ritchie, ol this citv, voted against the bill. Mr. Purvi ance, who represents the 22d District, as also Mr. Covode, of Westmoreland, voted in favor of it. Upon a fair review of the vote, we have no disposition to prevent the Tribune, if we could do so, from indulging in the following strictures: "It was just forty years ago that the Congress of tint day undertook to increase the pay of members. Tht*v put it up to barely $1,500 a year, which is about what they now receive, on the average, at the old charge ot eight dol lars per day. We believe they did not make the rise retrospective, as the new act does.- Yet this $1,500 a year demolished nearly ail who were concerned in it. Henry Clay, who had m t bad a competitor at the polls tor some time previous, barelv saved himself from defeat by superhuman exertions, unrivaled ability on the slump, by appealing to his great anil admit ted public services, and by virtually confessing that he bad done wrong, and promising to do better. Members of moderate abilities and or dinary services went down before the surge of public indignation like drv grass before a prairie jire. The new Congress hastened to repeal the Compensation Act and go back to the eight dollars per day, which did not look so insignifi cant to th ur constituents at their lonely fire sides as to flu* dispensers ot millions at Washing ton, "But the retrospective feature of the new act is most indefensible. Every member now in Congress virtually contracted to serve through the last term for $720. Instead of that, a ma ioritv have now voted to take to themselves $3,000 for that service. This is not exactly stealin but it is a very sharp kind of convey ing. See if it does not howl down a good many of those engaged in it! We earnestly advise all parties not to put up members who voted lor this grab in anv of the close districts. It will HOt be safe. "People ofthe United States! ask your pres ent <>rprospective candidates fir Congress what they Think of this new Compensation Act, ami ?rv twhave their answers in black aad white be- ibi.e#ou yule lor any nf tb.eni Song since Mr. Greeley c mgratulated the country on liaviog such aglorioas Congress as HIP present. He might have tolerated a liitje stealing in consideration of extra services on tm* Kansas question. t " "" Fremont's Financial Operations. Trt Saturday the reports oik the various de partment? in answer to Senator Biglet's resolu tion were sent into the Senate, and cursory ex amination of the facts awl copies from the re cords therein contained justify us in announc ing that their publication will develope some transactions connected with Col. Fremont's fi nancial and military operations in California of the ir.osi astounding cfiatai'er. Ileivmf re there has been a ve'rl of romance—a sort of charm—thrown around these transactions, whereby they have evaded public scrutiny : and while ve have been of opinion rliat, under the .sglarc of magnified achievements and adventures, ' there were covered up speculations and pecula tions of tarm-and small dearer, yet we confess we hud no ■adequate conception of what seems now likelv to be unfolded in the "full light of dnv. Heretofore we have been compelled to grope in the dark, having only isolated facts from which we might draw inferences of presump tions, and, therefore, however well grounded they might have been, stiil there was room for doubt. But in these reports the connecting cir cnmstanc.es and tacts all appear, like the Jinks in a chain. They follow each other, and hrin<r the mind irresistahiy to a conclusion lata! to Fremont. It has been a matter of wonder how a young army qlficer r with no known or visible means of resources, should suddenly be enabled to es tablish a large "/vmcAc," hlled '.\ith herds of cattle, &.c., and enter into supplying Indians with IiKKK in unheard-of quantities, and thus he rankled, in a short tine-, to prefer a claim against the government amounting to several hundred liioUsAtids of dollars. Equally serpi ising was it tii.ii lie should have money with which to pur chase a Spanish claim of sixty-odd leagues of land, of fabulous value, the very rocks and stom .. oiWhich, we are (■ Id. are glistering v\ ith gold ! So, also, was it inexplicable to the uninitiated, who are ignorant of the manner in which "claims" against the government are sometimes gotten up, how, in a .vrvic* of five or six mouths, a small batallion of men, ntinibering, perhaps, three to four hundred, should incur liabilities on account of "subsistence, supplies, &.C., amounting to more than A million of dol lars. But these reports and accompanying doc uments explain a!!. They unravel the myste ry, Horses bv the thousand, cattle at the rate oi a beef a day for each soldier, and "other things in proportion"—such are these claims, nearly all, it seem*, certified to as "correct and Just," and "applied to the public service" by the immaculate black-republican candidate for Pre sident, John 0. Fremont I But notwithstand ing the skill with which these claims were got ten up, backed up by the certificate of Lieuten ant Colonel Fremont, and the great influence brought to bear in their favor, it appears that only about $l4-0,000, or about one-seventh part of the whole amount, were recommended for al lowance and "payment, leaving some EIGHT HUN DRED TNOPSAND DOLL AHA STILL OUTSTANDING and unpaid, and which we are quite sure will never be paid until John C. Fremont is elected President.—Washington Union.

Mr. Buchanan and the Old-Line Whigs! last Saturday, wack, Mr. BUCHANAN was ui Bedford, and, having stepped into the bouse ot Mr. SCHELL lor a short time, a number of persons called in to lake him by the hand. As he was about to leave for the Springs, it was remaiked by one of the company—"Mr. Buchanan, we will give you as an escort Mr. RFXSUAAI and Mr. WM. HARTLEY, two old-line Whigs who intend to vote tor you under ex iting circumstances. *' Mr. Buchanan playfully said in reply—"l am very much obliged to you, gen tlemen; but 1 don't know that I am under any spe cial qMijratiotis, as the compliment is to the ruis- CJVLE or which I am the mere agent, and not to ME." This was -dfe highest mark of respect Mr. B. could have paid the intelligent gentlemen to whom he was speaking, conveying the idea that principles and not men were the motives now propelling the actions ot the old-line Whigs. An individual silting at an ad joining door, happened to •' overhear" a few words of the conversation, and reported Mr. Buchanan as having seiiously declared, in effect, that tie did not thank an old-line Whig to vote lur and the re sult of this eaves-dropping is half a column of K. X. tra-hlocany out the fabrication. If Ml. Buchan an's remark could have conveyed such a meaning, it would have been a deliberate insult to the gentle men he addressed. And will any one believe that gentlemen <>! tiie character and intelligence ot Mr. Bens Law and Mi. llaitiey would not have resented the indignity at once by declining to take a seat in his carriage' The charge cairiesits own refutation, and its author- aie entitled to the appellation ol ten cent men in eveiy sen-e of the teim ! KTWtlftP, a rank abolitionist from Ohio, made a speech in Bedford recently in favor Ot FREMONT and against FII.MOKE—and, whilst i'r. Jordan Ik Co. profess to be the liiends of I'ilmore, their organ contains a fulsome article in commendation ol the speech of this Abolitionist, which proves the secret i coalition between the Filmore leader- and the snp porters of FREMONT. Filmore declared in a pub lic speech that the election of Fremont would le-ult n a dis-olution o' the Union, ami yet his professed organ in Bedford applaud- the emissaries who are strolling over the country lecturing in his behalf!— Do candid men require any better evidence of the "bargain" than this? P. S. My friends of the American party insisted on piittinc rue as Chairman of their county commit tee; and as such I have been endeavoring to do some thing to bring about the ilrefat of Jjtro Forum m ' 1 am not altogettrer sure that you act cordially with In ■ American party, but, not being very well ac quainted in your township, I have ventured to put you on the above named committee, believing one thing at least to he certain, and that is that you can not support ihe Cincinnati platform, or any one who stands upon it. Your compliance with the retjuest ot the above circular. 1 should consider as both a po litical and personal favor. Hoping it may -nit both vour notions of duty and propriety, 1 remain most fe-pectinl'ly yours, ite. FR. JORDAN. Bedford, June 7, ISdO. f'TT'The above beautiful epistle was addressed by Fn. JORDAN to ari old-line whig in Bedford Couritv, with the request ihat the said Whig would act as a member of the secret K.N. Committee, and aid the Chairman thereof in ''bringing about the defeat o) Loro Foroi*m ." Francis barked up the wrong tree, however, for the gentleman to addressed will not only not aid him in this business, but has declared emphatically for Buchanan and Democracy, as thou sands of other old-line Whigs are doing. The whig thus addressed placed Mr. Jordan's printed Circular and written Postscript in the hands of a friend with permission to u=e it as he saw proper, backed bv the declaration that there are a number of Whigs in his immediate neighborhood who are determined to pur sue the same course. It will be seen that the Chair man's professed love for the dear NATIVE and the cor.or.i:i> man is only a eioal- to induce honest Demo crats to aid him in defeating a party to which they have always been attached. '-Pulse Pretence" of no worse character than this would Jt;<s a man if em ployed in the business transactions ol lite. We ad vise Francis to be careful to whom he writes! A number of his secret Committee have already repu diated him and his contemptible Circular; and honest freemen will teach him that a "personal favor" to Fr. Jordan is a poor consideration when contrasted with their duty to their country. Ridiculing the Germans. The Fillmore, ALIAS Fremont organ in Bedford, devotes near a column in RIDICULING the honest Germans who are unable to speak the Engli-h lan guage plainly.

Mr. JORDSN deny that he took both the above degrees ? If not, we would ak him, how he reconciles his oath to support the Constitution ol our country, (as a Representative in the Legislature of this State,) with these humiliating obligations resttng upon him, requiring him to disfranchise every man who was born in a foreign country, or who belong* to the Catholic Church ? Our glorious Constitution says—"No religious test shall ever be required as a qiralification to any office or public trust under the United States," and yet these K. N. obligations as sume the very reverse, repudiating this beautiful feature in our Constitution, cemented by the blood of the Revolution. VVe would ask him another question. How does, he reconcile his desired fusion with Mr. FREMONT with the above obligations, now that it is proved that Mr. Fremont is a Catholic. Is there not a de gree of recklessness in this whole business revolting to every sense of ptr.priety and fair dealing? We call upon all candid men to pause, consider, ami then answer at the ballot box. In order to sustain this declaration, we call attention to the following arti cle- from the Daily News, a K. N. Fillmore paper in Philadelphia, and heretofore one of the leadiugjrr gans of the Whig Patty in Pennsylvania : From the Philadelphia News, Aug. 20. I B PORT A M TESTIMON Y. Proving Fremont to ben Roman Catholic .C' The following Letter tiom the Hon. Nathan Sar gent, well known as Oliver Old School to our rea ders, we find in the Boston Ledger of the I.7th. Col. Russell, whose testimony is here given, is "a cthse ' personal friend of, and an old companion in-atms with Fiemont. We can hardly conceive how any thing can he oliereu of a more conclusive character on the preci-e point of Fremont's Romanism. We give it without further comment: — WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, 18.7 G. A. B. Ely, Esq. —Dear Sir: 1 have your note of the 28th July, inquiring where Col. William Rus sell. of Missouri, resides or may be adilressed, and asking rue what he has said, or w ill say, in reference to Col. Fremont's religious opinions ? Col. Ku-sell's residence i- at Harrisonville, Ca-s Co., Mo.; but lam informed that be is at present in Baltimore on a visit. Col. Ku-sell is a man who trill sav what he has said: and he has said to me that Col. Fremont was a Catholic when he was in California. I spent an e vening with Col. R. at Brown's Hotel two or three weeks ago, and knowing that he had been tnueh with Col. F. in California, and or. very intimate terms with him, I a-ked him if he knew any thing of CoJ. Fremont's religious views at that time? lie replied that he did ; that he was with him a great deal, and in fact might -ay that he had slept under the same blanket with hirn for eight months. 1 then asked him what Col. F. v\a-? He replied, a Catholic, I asked him if he was sure of this? "Perfectly," he said ; and then added, "Co/. Fremont iron't deny that he. was a Catholicevery body there so understood it, and he made wo secret of it." Fnrlher conversation occurred between us on the subject, but this i, the sum and sub-tance of it. I i aked hfin if I might refer to this conversation and | use In" name? He replied, "certainly j you arc at liberty to do so." But he again said. "COL. FRE MONT WILL NOT DENY THAT HE WAS A CATHOLIC." Cpl. Ku-sell, you may not be aware, was Col. Fremont's principal witness on his trial before the Court Marshal. Should Col. Fremont deuy over his own signature that he was a Catholic when Sti Cali fornia. 1 presume Col. Russell w ill then speak for himself. Col. R. is an old, ardpnt, personal friend of Henry Clay, with whose family his own is connected, his daughter having married Mr. Clay's grandson. 1 am, very truly, \ our obedient servant, N. SAUI.KNT. From the Daily News Aug. 23. Fui dovr's CATHOLICISM has now been so tightly fastened upon him by the most indisputable testimo ny, that we can scarcely find one of his friends pos sessing the „boblness and effrontery to deny it. At first, his iriends were vociferous and indignant; but now they are meek and humble, and hope to see the subject ignored or forgotten. It only goes to show how debased politics can rnnke some men, who wiil stoop to deny a self-evident fact, in the face ol proof "strong as holy writ." Head Carefully ihe Fiist Page. UP" The fir*t page is full of interest. Read it carefully—but especially read tbe masterly and con vincing Letter of Rcvrs CHOAIK to bis Whig breth ren of Maine, by which it will be seen that this dis tinguished Whig pioclaims for Buchanan. In-peak ing of the letter, the Philadelphia Argus says: The nationality of Mr. Choate is well known, but even those friends who knew him best were hardly prepaved for such fearless and emphatic avowals of thorough Unionism, and such a decided and pronoun ced step. The National Democracy most respectful ly and heartily welcome Rufus Choate into their crowded and augmenting lank-. What a splendid demonstration of the truth and soundness of our prin ciples it is, that the very flower of the patriotism, learning, talent, and virtue of the late Whig party is compelled, by the mere course ol events, to take re fuge under the banners of Democracy! Rulus Choate is the peer of the pet rhetorician of Free Soilism— Charles Sumner himself—in eloquence and learning, and his superior in common sense and massive intel lect. Cboate's constitutional ideas and sympathies were formed and matured under the majestic auspi ces of Daniel Webster. Having imbibed Webster's seierie and impat ttal Constitu!ionalism and National ity, Kuius Choate readily perceived the narrowness and shallowness, and evasiveness of what dubs itself "Republicanism." He views the slavery question calmly and practically, trom a stand point that em braces the whale country within its lange of vision. His unfaltering intellect always keeps itself in rela tion with the nation and the nation's common inter ests. He thinks, "not as a Northern man, not as a Southern man, but as an American." His fundamen tal thought always is that, at all hazard*, at all sac rifices, ami in any event, the Union must he pre served. And so thinks every great mind. The Un ion of the States has ever been, and now is, the glo ry, the joy, the hope, the political idol of every A mericati patriot and statesman. That Union was sprinkled with the blood of our Fathers, watered with their tears, cemented and made stiong by their con cessions and sacrifices, sanctified by their prayers, sustained b\ their incessant and devoted labors, and watched over by their constant anxiety. Every pub lic man among us who deserves the name of states man has placed the Union in Ins heart, next to his God. Not that these great ones cherished any blind and unreasoning love lor the I'nion. But they com prehended that the Union was the sole and strong safeguard of our liberties, the copious fountain of our prosperities, the essence of our national greatness. — As Washington and Jefferson felt and >pokej so speak now such minds and hearts as Ruins Choate. Alex ander Hamilton once said in private conversation, that "to break the Union would he to break his heart." That expresses the throbbing devotion of the lathers to the Union—it expresses the desire am! anxiety of true and intelligent patriots now. The ti<!e of untoward events ha?, at last, drifted the Tnion amid the breakers so feared and dreaded, by Washington, and all our fathers. The nation is divided by sectional party lines. The contest tor the Presidency threatens to be sheerly geographical. Can the Union survive such a fearful trial? It is time for all wise and good men to come to the rescue. It is time to forget all past minor issues, to ignore mere differences about finance, currency ami public work', and to surround the imperilled Constitution with a cordon of stout and fraternal patriots, where one common feeling and purpose will be "the Union, it MUST and suAi.r. be preserved."

Dear Sir:—Since my last letter to von the hall iti Maryland has opened finely, and the political horizon continues to brighten. Full fourteen thousand Free men assembled in Frederick city on the 7th inst. to listen to the teachings of Gen. Lewis Cass, and oth er great Statesmen of the age. More enthusiasm than was here drveloped has never been manifested. On last evening there "was a grand rally in our ci ty. It was the greatest demonstration ever made in Monument Square; there was-liiH an acre of people. Without exaggeration "thousand persons were present. They were addressed by the old war-horse CASS, ex-Governor BIGLF.R, of your State, and o thers. Know Notbingism and Black Republicani-m. (twin brothers) was well and severely handled. Thousands in our State have come over to the cause of Truth and Justice. Old Maryland, the pride of her people, whose escutcheon has never been black ened by a chat ge ol treason, will follow the example of Kentucky, North Carolina, Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas, by casting her electoral vote for Buchanan and Breckinridge. On this you may rely. A great Meeting Of the Democracy of Bedford County will he held in the Court-Honse in Bedford on MONDAY EVENIN( of the approaching Court. A number of Speakers will be in at tendance. Democrats thru out and prepare fur a noble defence of crur glorious Union. The is sue and the only isbtte before the people is: - "Shall the Union be preservel?" Democratic Meeting in Scltellsburg. Old Napier, Juniata, and the surrounding neigh borhood assembled in mass meeting at r>cbe|!.-bui g on Wednesday alternoon, Aug. 20, and presented an appearance calculated to cheer the heart of every j true patriot. No house in town was liuge enough to ! hold the people who had thus gathered together, and j the consequence was that they had to repair to the | commodious barn of A. J. Snively, Esq., and even this was not large enough for the occasion. Many" j were compelled to lemain outside. On motion of JOHN S. SCHELL, Esq. the as-emblage was orgarr j tzed by calline to the chair that old veteran, Maj. lAMIiS Bf'KNS, now in trie liGtb year of his age— i the names of the other otiiceis have escaped our me mory, the list not having been handed to us. Hon. JOHN CESSNA first a.ldres-ed the meeting in an animated and forcible speech, such as be al ways makes, and which was received with gieat en- I thusia-m. He concluded by introducing to the an- j dieuce Hon. H. S. MAGRAW, formeily ol Pitts- j burg, and at present Trea.-urer ol Pennsylvania. Powerful as he has heretofore proved himself in de- ! i bale (for better lawyers and abler advocates aie , few) he presented a tissue of arguments with a force I and clearness that chained his auditors to th' Truth of every thing he presented. His speech on this oc casion was one of the be-t of bis life. Among other I things he said that the Fremont Abolitionists now pointed to Washington as their first leader in anti slavery doctrine; but lorget or wilfully hide the lact 1 that in Washington'* administration Kentucky and Tennessee, two Slave State *, were admitted into the | Union. That they also hold up to view the immor tal Jefferson as the embodiment of their political he re-ie- on the slavery question; but keep in obscurity that portion ol the h.story of his administration which says that it was he (Jetferson) who puichased Louisiana from the French, the territory of which then included that State, Arkan as, Missouri, and Kansas and Kehra-ka. That he look it with Save ry attached, and stipulated, among other things, that i th" right* of the Master* should, ie Jirote rl rd. and ne ver attempted or suggested a siaveiy reduction. That Mr Madison signed the bill lor :he admission j of Louisiana as a State—that these Fathers of the a greemetit are now claimed by the abolitionists, and that the policy initiated by them w as against the ad mission of Slave States into the Union, and its re | strict ion to those of the thirteen States which had : slavery at the time of the adoption of the Constitu tion. These and the like pretensions ol the Fremont j Abolitionists were so successfully scattered to the winds by the facts and history of the country, as 1 presented by the speaker, that we could only wish ; that the whole country could have been present to ! hear for themselves. The Sumner and Brooks affair was well answered | by charging upon J. Watson Webb of New York, and other- of she same kidney, the maider of the la mented ("illy for woids spoken m debate no! hall Yo gross as those of the Abolitiorii-t Snynner. Such men as Webb, who now clamor so much for the pii j vilegtf of debate, killed Cilley for simply speaking the truth of them in debate, and the present '♦free dom -hi i> ker-" had not a word of condemnation to | ofl'-r ! This Webb is the negio worshipper of New York who made a speech at the Convention which nominated Fierpont! But this was not all. Mr. M. showed ihat FKEMONT bad proved himself the | "great bully and blackguard'' so eloquently ap plied by his friend' to Blocks. That he had way laid. in IFOO, Mr. Footed the U. S. Senate, tor woids -poken in debate, and committed a dastardly j assault upon his per>on, which brought blood, as lie | entered the ante-chamber, and afterwards challenged , him to fight a duel, notwithstanding he disclaimed a : ny intention of giving personal offence in the language used bv him in debate. This tact should be thrown in the teeth oi the Free-monster* every time liiey name the case of "Bully Brooks." The reply of Mr. M. to howling, bleeding Kansas was ;n point. The cry of suffering, bleeding Kan sas comes from whomf From Ex-Governor Ritner, Thadeiis Stevens, and a few more of that sort, who : were delegates to the Convention which nominated Fremont. These men now profess to have a holy I horror for civil war ami alledged frauds upon the ballot box in Kansas; notwithstanding they are the identical conspirators who originated the lamous " 11 u els hot War" tor the avowed purpo-e of treating the flection in the good old State ot Pennsylvania as thqugh it had never occurred ! The speaker drew a vivid picturp of the manner in which ttiey manlac- Tured majorities of thousands in townships that could . only claim a few hundred legal voters! And how , their champ ons fled from the hack windows of the Senate chamber and hid among the toinb-sfones of a grave yard near at hand when five honest Freemen ot the Keystone appeared at the Capitol demanding j that the Laws should he respected, and that the ma jority should rule at all hazards! The wqrsj lpjtyire ! of the "Kansas Outrages," as represented by the a holitioriists, did riot halt equal the outrages atterr.pt tied by Ritner. Stevens. K Co. The fact sohuld never ! be lost sight of, too, that the Abolitionists are tire | author* of all the outrages in Kansas, and instigated them with the view ot making political capital for Fremont! Theie is no security lor the people but in the election of JAMES BUCHANAN. Mr. M. was followed bv Geo. VV. BOWM AN and ! Mr. SHANNON. The speech of Mr. S. was both inter esting arid amusing, and was well received. The ! meeting then adjourned with tremendous cheers for Buchanan, Breckinridge, the State and county ticket , ! and the speakers, i The Young Men's "Glee Club" of Bedford enter ; tained the crowd with several beautiful and patriotic j songs, which were highly applauded.

Il'zal be a test of honesty of opinion, which, to a very great extent, it undoubtedly is, we have every rt-a.on to congratulate ourseive,, as Democrats, on the meetings of Friday and Saturday last at VVOODBERRY AND PATTONSVILLE. Whilst, as to numbers, they were highly respecta ble, the spirit manifested indicated the finn belief of the Democrats of tne Woodberries in the injunction, that "It is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing." At Woodberry the meeting was held at the house ol Mr. Henry S. Ffuck, the speakers occupying the porch, and the audience seats in the yard. William McDonald presided, assisted by John Stoudenhour, Joseph Barley. Jacob ('. Brumbaugh, Henry S. Fluck, Dr. Oleig, Daniel Barley, Patrick Burns, and John Wisegarver and Joseph B. Noble as Vice Presidents, with Di. Smith and John Potter as Secretaries. The meeting at Pattonsville was in the large and comfortable school-house at that place. Major Jas. Pattou presided, with Samuel 0.-ter, William Spiel man, Jacob Eversole, William Tutwiler, and VV'm. S. Fluck as Vice Presidents, and John B. Fluck and William Grove as Secretaries. Addre-*es were delivered at both meetings by Messrs. SHANNON, O. C. HARTLEY, HALL, and Jos. W. TATE. The issue made by the Black Republi cans was fully and fairly discussed, the speakers planting themselves firmly on the platform that the people of every State and Territory ought and must, both of right and expediency, determine for them selves, at the ballot box, their own local institutions. This was treated by all the speakers as the only real issue before the country.
