BLACK REPCBUnSfSM SKOftS [?. I he other day, Senator Brown of Mississippi inarffa speech in the L'riited Stabs Senate, on the President's message, in fact his speech cbs ed the debate on the subject. Those who heard this spe-ch tell us it was a masterly effort and surprised those who uviv not acquainted with Prnwn's ability a> a speaker. The speech 1 "as gall and wormwood to the Black Re;ub!i- I cans in the Senate. A gentleman writing from Washington to an ! Albany paper says: VVilson uas confronted with a letter of his own, written to that notorious abolitionist and traitor to the constitution, Wendell Phillips, curing the late campaign : which letter, like the ghost at Machetlvs kingly table, came to perturb and vex the Massachusetts Senator most inopportunely. Mr. Wilson was unable to re- ! j| \ as Macbeth did : 1 ; hon must not say I did 't. though lie had the best will to do it. Me j hesitated, squirmed, and blushed, like a swain whose first enthusiastic love-letter is .c ad in the presence of a cold-blooded company of rela tives: and, indeed, the find expressio'n of Wil son s missive to his'dear Phillips' sufficiently carries out and finishes the figure. The unhap py senator tried to explain; but halted and otumblpd likea horse in a bog, and finally fell face foremost in the muck, in which position the Senator from Mississippi pitilessly pelted him with a remorseless raw hide. It was in fact, another Sumner outrage, though Air. Brojvn's weapons were simply those of cutting bt courteous parliamentary language. Mr. M ifsnn should go home, smnth. r his head in " et clotiis, an ! appeal to (lie sympathy oi Mas sachusetts. '*VV hen all this was over, Mr. Brown next came down on his unarmed antagonist with a j charge, which, if true, must shock the mora! . sentiment of every decent citizen. The char m j was, that Wilson in a public Hotel in this city, had lately given utterance to the sentiment i that t he slaves ha! the right to cut the threat "ftheir masters, and that lie did not know that he would advise them not to do it Th-> charm. horrified the Seriate, and Wilson, cowering un der tire indignant gaze of the Seriate and the galleries, falterinely denied that he had used the expression. Gov. Brown said thai he nrade the charge on eood authority, and the gentle man on whose authority it was made, publishes a card in this morning's I'nion, assuming its wVrfe responsibility. J also, that,"this attrocious sentiment was uttered i n the pr- s ence of a slave, who greedily listened to the Senator's conversation, and in a house where several slaves resided with their masters. "Such is Black Republicanism—Massachu setts Black Republicanism : Is it anv wonder thai Southern men, and patriots all over the country, dreaded its ascendancy, and united in 'he iate campaign to ward oil such a result. lleat.v Storm—a Train of Jars Buried sa file Snovr. A passenger gives Us- some items of his jour ney from Prarie rin Chien, on the Milwaukie and Mississippi railroad, during the late heavy storm. His party left Prarie du (.'liien two weeks ago, and at : ived the same night at Bosco pal, 2 k miles this side, being tin- first station on the railroad. The snow drifts were deep, and no trains could get away. Getting a fair start on t ie shovelled track, an I after two or three days' delay, the train brought up In a deep drift *ome six miles this side of Boscopal, and then commenced the work in earnest. The train would plunge into the drifts, the snow being sometimes as high as the tops of the cars, and corning to a dead halt, wait till the shovelers—passengers and all amusing and then running hack, das!; in again. So they struggled, but three days and three nights pass ed in making a dozen miles' progress. Provi sions were a5! gone ;on!v scanty supplies could he obtained from the few farm houses accessible. Parties were detailed to cut and bring wood lor the engines, and they kept up steam with diffi culty in tile four locomotives. At length alter almost despairing of being thawed until Spring, one of the working parties returned to the train at about two o'clock one morning, with the joy ful report of having heard the whistle of en gines coming from the eastward, and the ex citement was intense til!, just about daylight, the relief train from Madison, with four engines, which had been working for several days from the eastward broke the drills, and ••hitchingon" the whole train moved to Musroda. '•The Poor—God Blrss Them.'' While the cold blasts of winter, snvs the „Vi/- ftonaf slrgus, play about the streets, lanes, , n ! alleys, and grim want stalks forth tyrannically lording it over those who dwell in penuary and want, we say God bless the poor, tor if lie did not, they would stand hot a small chance in this heartless, selfish world of ours. Th >se who are surrounded by plenty, and at whose doors want never has yet appeared, know hut little of the sufferings of the poor in the winter season. Poverty, at anv season, is bad enough: but in the winter, when it is cold and drear, and there is no work, nor food, nor ftre), and but little clothing for the poor, it isa terrible thing indeed. Those of us who can give, should do so without stint. A small amount, such as most of as spend daily, or nightly, tor some foolish thing, or trifling pleasure, would cheer the heart of the low Iv, or make some poor fam ily, who need food, mr th>- time !i<-ing ch< erf >1 and happy, flow fi.-w of us think of these things. There is not a being w i'h a heat I containing the smallest portion of the milkofhuman kind ness that would not feel unspeakable pleasure in the knowledge of having, at a trifling ex pense, cheered the crushed heart of a fellow being in want. A small sum properly invest ed in this way will yield interest an "hundred fold. Hut few know the great amount of good that can be done with a trifling sum. 1.) ar reader, try it: when you meet the proper sub ject of charity give not grudgingly : but with open hand and free heart and our word for it, you will never repent it. Tongue cannot des crioe the pleasing consolation afforded by the knowledge of having relieved the wants of the poor. \ou who have never given, give to the }x>or a! once, if it is only for the purpose of see ing how happy it w ill make you feel. DEMOCRATIC Qlll.l,— During the late ptvsi unfitial canvass, and at the momptit a gallant Senator I'rom the South was proclaiming the <-ortain election of Mr. Buchanan, a feather dropped at his feet, from the wing of an eagle that uas flying over.

Dowmaa, Editor and Proprietor, "The Union of lake-—-the Lniori of lands, J be Union of States none can sever; The Union of hearts, and the Union of hands, And the liag of our Union forever!" K r. Jordan & Co. give a ley to their Jate dis graceful conduct, in pretending to advocate the elec tion of Filmore at the very time they were in secret correspondence with the Chairman of the Abolition Committee, ami using all their midnight energies to elect Fremont, in ihe assertion that that which is "•considered FILTHY, LOW-BUSH, and ANY THING but VI IGNAMMOCS, "may be looked upon as FAIR and LM'.ITI.MATE while a campaign is in progress.'" These are their own words. Now, the difference between (hem and the Democracy is simply this : U'e look upon a "filthy and low-bred" act in politics with as much contempt as we do upon a similar act in the business transactions of life, and this accounts •or the tact that no matter how badly the tUrnocra cy are OCCASIONALLY beaten through the "FILTH" O our opponents, we ri-e with additional strength tin moment the people have time to scrape off the filth 03, v\ hieii they were blinded to their own true inter ests. In all time to come, let clean-minded people -bun a party who use weapons so pestilential as the ahove. So wonder, under such circum-tances, so o verwbelming a change should have taken place in Bedford borough and County in one shoit year. It was "filthy and low-bred" to charge Mr. Buchanan with being the advocate of ten cents a day as Ihe "ages ot laboring men—and because it was so, our opponents urged the slander and falsehood with all the energy at their command, looking upon lies and slander-ot every description as "FAIR and LEGITI MATE," wh.L-t the campaign was in progress. They are careful not to repeat that lie now, however, knowing that Mr. Buchanan's otlicial course will brand it upon their foreheads ! 'Tilled with l/:es." L.s" It is a very common thing—in fact a stereo- .) ped argument with the enemies of Democracy— to ,hat alt democratic papers are "tilled with lies," hut especially the Bedford Gazette— and, so common I has this become with a few walking slime-pools in j this Borough, that many honest an.! welt meaning j .people in the country have taken up the cry, and ' belch it out at the top of their lungs, without taking ! the trouble to examine into the truth or falsity of the j charge tor themselves. We have a case in point. ! . o mouths i r. Jordan has been bitterly complain- j tug, through his mouth piece, that the Gazette is I t..ied with "l.ies and Slanders against him."

By simp'y requesting a discontinuance®!'the Gazette, (which he bad a perfect right to do, feeling that it annoyed him,) and by the published declaration that making vo aunrer" to our fair and cour teous proposition. .Now, heie is a plain, clear, pal pable admission, on the part of Jordan, that he lied with premeditated malic* rrrproclaiming to the world that the "Gazette was tilled with lies and slanders against him." To give force to the declaration. Francis declared that our course as an editor wan so prolans a> to ".-bock the religion* feeling of our en,ae community when we approached the cornmu , nion table. We asked him to name a single UHLI - man or woman as an endorser for this fiend ish and ungenerous charge, and he could not name one ! not one ! ! We have a right, therefore, to ask the honest Freemen of Bedford comfy. who out on the part ol their black republican Chairman; jan i when, herealter, their retailers of "low-bred filth answer the Gazette with the generai remark. 1 hat's more of Bowman's Lies," ask them to put their linger on the particular item, and see how soon they will follow the pitiful course adopted by-Francis. We shewed, urther, in reply to Mr. Jordan, that ; wil I t he and his paity had taken an OATH to de : grade and disfranchise a large body of ultitr mm, i they were exercising all their ingenuity and sympa i thies in behalf of the colored race; that they had j conferred upon negroes in the State of New York i the r;gbt To vote and hold office; thusgiving irrefuta ble evidence that they consider negioes better than wvite men. We introduced the name of Rev. Mr. Benedict as proof that a gentleman of the highest j standing in their ranks had publicly advocated the ' doctrine that negroes were entitled to equal privileg jes with the white man; and we gave the name of , .Mr. Wm. Hartley to sustain our assertion that one o! the Know Norhing Delegates to the Fitmore State i Convention, lroin B-dibrd county, had declared that he would ratfeer see a negro made President than James Buchanan. And Mr. Jordan's reply to this is: "Si (!! PRQOI !" But, to cap tlie sheaf, Jordan would creep out of his "tilth" by declaring that be had no knowledge oi the article containing the dis i gracelul falsehoods alluded to. srmur SCHOOL AKMVKBSART.

The little bright eyes sparkled with joy whilst j be related some of his boyish exploits, on similar oc casions, and told them how they ought to live to : be happy them-elyes and make others happy, espe cially little boys and girls who were not as highly favored as themselves.

Although Col.
