THE BEDFORD GAZETTEj Bedford. Dec. I, 1807. B. F. Meyers & G. W. Penford, Editors. Kedtafion of Terras! THE "GAZETTE" FURNISHED TO SUB SCRIBERS FOR $1,50, IF PAID IN ADVANCE! In accordance with the general wish of our subscribers we have concluded to reduce the price of our paper to $ 1 50 per annum, cash, in advance. I {payment is not made in advance, $"2,00 will he charged if paid within the year ; whenever a subscriber sutlers his account to remain unsettled at the end of the year, $2,50 will he charged. T T~Thexe Terms will be strict 1 1/ and inwiabli/ adhere/ to. All of our present so! -cribers who will make payment fief&re 1 he. first day of January next, shall receive the C/'Z-tfe at the above named rate of $1,50 per annum, in advance, and those who have alreadv pud u- $2,00-,foi the present volume, shall liave a. cieiiit of 50 cents on the next. Thf Aos • !* is, indeed, what the Aoolitionists U,.. , de manded. Rut they still affect to be dissatisfied. They don't care so much, now, whether Kan sas is admitted "Free," or "Slave," as they do about the minor subjects embraced in (he Con stitution. Therefore, being effectually silenced with regard to the Slavery question, tliev make a great "ado about nothing," and pretend to be very much interested in those s-ctmns of the Constitution which the Convention did not sub mit. It conms with a very had grace from the Ab olitionists, to denounce the KLnsas Convention lor not submitting the whole ( nstitution, wh n they well know that but lithe more than one year ago, they, themselves, strove to force through Congress the well known Topeka Con stitution, which they never oifered to submit to the consideration of tho people, although it was formed with much less deliberation than the present one, and by a body of men that were not by any means the regularly chosen repre sentatives of the citizeas of Kansas. Tn view of this fact, they should be ashamed to sav any thing on the subject ol referring the Kansas Constituti HI to the people. But their object in thus cavilling at the action ot the Convention, is plain enough. They never intended that Kan sas should become a Free State under the Ad tninslralion of Mr. Buchanan, if tliey could Dre veut Us becoming such, that the question of .slavery is placed in the hands of the peopled!Kansa-, to be fairly and honestly deci ded hy them, they most have some excuse however trifling it be, tor their men to stay away from the polls, so "that the pio-sbvery men can nave everything their own way. Therefore, thev object to the course of the Constitutional Convention, thinking that by so doing they can justify the absence of their paftizans from the ion, when the question of slavery IS to be kZ< upon ! V i l|,J <***' °! Su hi | hypocrisy smells ,re will ij more talent in the Low* House, lr) the next Congress, than there has been in that body for some years. One thing e are sure of, and that is that the wholesale traud and peculation • : which characterize the fast Congress will not; I disgrace the present on '• There is, however, a j | sufficient sprinkling ' Aboiit ionists in it, still, i to taint it with corruption, and unless they | aie closely watched, the end ofthe session will ' find some of them well qualified to be "kicked ! out." . . The Democrats have a decisive majority in •both Houses and r.. ing hut] the manatvres |of ambitious, or unscrupulous faction Lsts, can i take from them the government of either body, i We see nothing, st) Dr as principles aip con- | I cerne.J, that sh.u-:-:, in any measure, distract,; ior divide the Den'.- zratic strength in Congress.; I On the other hand, the broad platform of Demo- 1 I cratic doctrines, framed by the Cincinnati Con- I vention, is large and strong enough to bear eve 'rv Congressman through his legislative caieer, i who believes in t! ;c ' policy of the only National partv in existence.

As almost every person in the county feel- more or less interested in our common schools.; - roans it will be very accept able to most of your readers, thave some sta tistic, and facs in reference to their (t!;p schoolC) p P-a of the present wit te.: and if you will please give me a little corner i.i your ' paper, occas.anally, I wili present sucii mat ters, from Ito tune, concerning the schools, as mav come under my observation and be thought interesting to all. On the dtjthof September last, I started on a tour through the county, to visit the different school districts', to examine teachers and to •rive such encouragement and explanation in .-choo! matters as might seem necessary and pro per. The tour was a pleasant one, tor in most of Ihe districts were found active and energetic men as directors. And in every district, with one exception, there was an active interest show n l>v the people, in behalf of the schools. The number of people coming out to the pub lic examinations, was not as large as il should have been. Many seemed to think and say too, that the Superintendent is bound to grant an examination to any person, at any time and in any ; luce, and therefor- they would hold back for a private opportunity, to be, as they expies-- i-fi ii, '* ■■!. i ro.ig.i in two minuti lf this • ere aifewalfe, neither the director* nor the schools wou.d have the necessary protection.— Cut it is a mistake; it is not allowable. The instructions from the department of Common Schools, scarcely allow a private examination •i. all. Tiiev cannot be granted excepting for special r asons. The following is an extract from the instructions touching this point. It Is plain :nd positive and speaks for itself. TCPAHT.MF.NT OF COMMOV SCHOOLS.

END OF THE TRAITOBS Lebo, Wagons-lier and Manear, vvho committed treason against the Democratic party by voting for Simon Cameron, the K. N. candidate for U. S. Senator, have all been left at home, and true Democrats re turned to the Legislature in their places. Thus ended the carreer of the traitors. They go to their political graves, "unwept, uaixonored and unsung." \Ve give below the sclmdule of the ConstitU" ' tio.'i ot Kansas, prepared by the Convention oi ; Lecompton. It will be seen by reference t ! Section 1 1, that the Constitution is !o be stibmil -1 ted to "all tile white male residents of the 1 er , ritory," for approval or disapproval, befire it ; shail be sent to Congress. The people of tin Territory are io decide jor i.'icmstlies, wheth er they will hove a Constitution permitting shivery or not. Therefore, if the so-called Free State men of Kansas, desire a Constitution without a pro-slavery clause in it, thvv can have it !>v going to the polls on ;he2!.-t of De | cernber, and voting tor it. They outnumber ' tiie pro-slaverv men bv ureal odds and they can gain whatever end th-y wish. With them aim with their Abolitiorr dictators, will rest the res ponsibility. it' Kansas presents a Constitution to the ne\t Congress, permitting slavery within ' her borders. SCIIEbtXE. S::crr v 1.
