The Bedford Gazette* AX HOME AND ABROAD. The horrible in newspapers. —W v art* often asked why we do not publish detailed accounts of murders, robberies and other horrid crimes ) the history of which toooften disgraces the col umns of many of our cotemporaries. \Y e now propose to give an answer to the inquiries made in reference to this subject, which we hope will forever exonerate us from the unpleasant task ot > writing on a theme which so vividly brings up to our consciousness the weakness and depravi ty of human nature. We decline burdening our columns with this kind of matter lor several ve ry good and sufficient reasons. We believe that if vice be continually'held up to the gaze olthe people.it will become so familiar to their eyes that its hideonsness will no longer repel them from its embrace. We believe in the doctrine of that poet who tells us : •>Vice is a monster of such frightiiil mien As to be hated needs but to lie seen, Hut teen ton oft, familiar with its fare, It's first i admit, then pity, thai em!,race We believe, further, that it is the duty ot the nevvspap.-r pi ess, to endeavor toro/sethe stand ard of m-.u als, inst-ad of making it an object to d-press it, or of conniving at the depraved taste of those wh > have unwittingly imbibed the poison they ask to have administered to the public indiscriminately. Therefore, we can not find, il Ul our heart, to give place in our paper to the thousand and one shocking and obscene stories which make up the criminal romance ol our country. YY e couid not issue our paper without a blush, were we to do so, nor could we refrain from thinking, should we hear of a crime committed in our community, that, perhaps, the criminal was strengthened in his evil resolve, by the exciting description of some deed similar to his.own uoic.. may have met his eye in our columns. I his. then, is one reason,and an al:-s ifficie.it one it is; for excluding from the newspaper toe sort of matter under consideration. It is a reason which morniitij assigns and one which will he readily acknowl edged as perfectly sound and valid by all good and honest people. Another objection to this system of retailing accounts of revolting crimes jn the columns ofa public newspaper, is suggest ed by the fact that tin-re isalwaws enough use ful and amusing reading matter to be found by the editor to fill his sheet, and such, too, as will possess a deep interest for all well regulated minds. Hence, if even the criminal literature (if we may be allowed the expression) were not noxious in its influence, the editor would still be in duty bound to exclude it, in order to make room fir that which demands a place in his journal, bv virtue ot its ministration to the hap piness of the people. Let none, therefore, expect us to tatni.-ii our pages with a weekly recud of all the horrible crimes that hang a cloud ol blackness between heaven and earth. Rather than thus violate our sense of propriety, we would sell our type to a broken ironmaster and sink our press under the waters of the Juniata. _Vetc Democratic /inju r in Mer'pr. —We have received n0."2 of the "Democratic Register", published at Mercer, Mercer Co. Pa. by Win. M'Knight, Esq. It is a large sheet, well printed, and edited with marked ability. We hope that the "Register" will prove, what it gives ample promise of being, an aoir ami untiring vindica tor of Democratic piinciplcs, and tnat its propri etor may meet with much success jn his new venture. A'etrspoper Change. —The "Juniata Register' has passed into the hands of Messrs. Greer and Ali son who have greatly improved its typogra phical execution, and have added much to the interest of its editorial columns. The"Register," if we mistake not, will soon he in the front rank of the Democratic country press of the State. The new publishers have our hearty wishes for their prosperity.

The Kvansviile / Indiana) J< urnal savs that the injury to the corn hv the early frosts of November, and the subsequent rains, has been very serious throughout all the mid land and northern counties of the State. On the upp-r Wabash, the damage extend® to a large part of the crop. The injured crop serves t 1 feed stock, and to increas" the quantity of heel and pork that will be thrown upon the market. The price of corn will he affected by the disaster, and the value of wheat and flour will be raised in the regions where the corn has been rendered unfit for food. THE NEW YoriK" Tribune, on to • mrrni'l: of the Presidenti-iI election, declare*) that "n.v sure as there in a (iotj in 11< riven , il" James Buchanan is elected President,'* Oregon will lie made a 1 slave State. James Buchanan v:os ejected, and j Oregon has been n:ac!e a free State ; the infidels I of the Tribune will probably be confirmed in : their infidelity hy (his fact, and will regard it : as conclusive proof that "there is no God in ; Heaven." ' But it is interesting to .see, in the ca*e of ()r- I egnn, how beautifully the doctrine of popular ! sovereignty operates among honest, s i silde ' and patriotic people, and how completely the | result has falsified ail the predictions ami as- I serf ions of the black republican agitators.— j Smarting out on the willfully false theory that the | Nebraska act was designed to force slavery upon j all Jhe territories, they liaw never halted in . their persistent assertions tfiat micli was sure to be jhe fruit of the great and glorious princi -1 p|e which that act was designed to carrv into effect.
