WHO SHALL DECUTC WHEN DOCTORS
DISAGREE?
Senator DOUULAS, in in.- Lie sp-rdi on Kan
sas affairs, lavs paiticular sties- on what he pro
nounces the illegality of the Lt-compton Con
vention. Hi* whole argument rests on the ba
sis of an assumption: viz : Thai the Convention
which formed the Lecomp'nn Constitution was
not a legal body, for this reason lie urges Con
gress to refuse the admisiot. ol Kansas under
that Constitution. For this reason lie insists
that an "enabling act" is necessary. On the
other hand, Gov. WALKER acLnow ledges the
legality of the aforesaid Convention, llis op
position to the admission of Kansas under the
form of government adopted by that Conven
tion, is based* on quite different foundations.—
He says that sovereignty can not he delegated—
that the people cannot appoint agents to make
a Constitution for them which shall bind them
any length of time unless it be ratified by a ma
jority of them. Therefore, Senator Douglas and
Gov. Walker differ very materially in their
theories, in fact the argument of the one greatly
weakens thatjof the other. Again : Mr. Secre
tary Stanton, disagrees with both of these illus
trious theorists. He savs in plainand unequiv
ocal terms that the refusal of a majorily (the
free state Abolitionists) to vote for delegates to
the constitutional Cvnvention teas the cause oj
all the evils and dangers of the present crisis.
He truthfully attributes all the trouble which
we are now having in relation to the affairs of
Kansas, to the stubbornness and hypocrisy of
the Abolitionists. Thus we see the vast differ
ence between the opinions of the men who, the
Abolitionists say are opposed to the Kansas poli
cy of the Administration. They contradict pact)
other time and again. There is scarcely a sin
gle position, save that of hostility to the Le
compton Constitution, held in common by them.
The Abolitionists had, therefore, better set about
reconciling these contradictions, lest the people
propound to them'the question "WhoJ; shall de
cide when doctors disagree?" and answer it for
them in a voice of thunder, JAMES BUCHANAN ;
GOV- WISE, OF VIRGINIA-
The Abolitionists felicitate themselves ex
ceedingly over a letter lately written bv this
gentleman to the Tammany Society of .Yew
York city, in which the ground is taken that
Congress should admit Kansas with the Lecomp.
ton Constitution, the said constitution to be
submitted to the people of Kansas for ratifica
tion after their admission into the Union. How
these very consistent gentlemen could ever bring
themselves to rejoice over any position assumed
by that "arch-priest of slavery propagandists,
Henry A. Wise," as tlu-v w.-re wont to call
him, we find it impossible to conjecture; much
less able are we to comprehend how such ardent
haters of the "Lecompton swindle" ( so denom
inated in Abolition parlance) as they profess to
be, could become so boisterously jubilant over
the opinion of that "arch priest"—that Con
gress should receive Kansas into the Union un
der the Constitution adopted on the 21st ult.—
But "every day brings something new"—espe
cially in regard to the Abolitionists. The next
thing we shall hear of, will, doubtless, be that
they propose to erect a monument to the heath
en who first engaged in the African slave-trade.
The following is the concluding portion of
Gov. Wise's letter; the Abolitionists are lieaiti
ly welcome to all the comfort they can derive
from that:
"The great State of \eiv York should realize
the responsibility resting upon her. If she will j
stand by Mr. Buchanan as she did by Gen. Jack- I
son; if her democracy will only firmly unite- :
if she will maintain no other rule of law and
the constitution ; if she will remember her great- I
est stake in swelling the late democratic tri
umphs into a permanency of power, and in :
maintaining law, order, justice, peace, and uni- j
on ; if her democracy will cease their factions 1
divisions and devotedly and unitedly come up
to the patriotic work of saving a happy ami
prosperous confederacy from the dangers of dis
solution, or the disasters of civil war, then, tru- •
ly, New York will resume her empire ande
an arbitress thrice blessed as the peace'n aWr.
All the sister State? already contribute tomer
beauty and strength; she is in position pnd pqw- '
er lobe an arbitress, but to be so in truth and!
with effect she must be sanctified to the hfoh
and holy office.'"
Abolition Rilhngsgalr,
The clique of black-guanis who does up j
the fish-woman slang that pass, s for etiiorinL
(heaven save the mark !} to the muddy columns i
of the Abolition organ in this place, seem to
think that they make a very happv hit when
they call the Gazette the "/Agger org///? We
have no doubt the epithet is a very witty one
for, cert e.<t, a "buzzard feast" Senator would not
say anything dull. We do not know, howev
er, whether the Democracy of Bedford county
will consider it either u illy, or complimentary.
They may, for aught we know, object to beiDg
called "niggers." They mav even go so far as
to say that the aforesaid ••piiii.t would applv
with equal torce to that party of fag-ends which
has strained its utmost to curtail the pri- j
vileges <-V the while man ghe foreigner) and
which are even tng to enlarge those of'
the black. Th.v will at least remember next;
lall, wh n Ab.i!f'oii-lvn.|. \y!;ing candidates 1
wiil be again sneaking ixmi.j begging theirij
voles, thai the Abolitionist* ks?W upon the Bed
ford Gazette as the nigger ar<r, i/>," and per
consequence, upon Democrats as "niggers." j
Don't, you thiuk so, Buzzard!
i£r*The New York Herald publishes a letter
from Senator Brown, of Mississippi, denying
having abandoned the Lecompton Constitution
and saying that he has no doubt of its adoption.
HON. WM P SCHELL-
We notice that our able and attentive Sena
tor has been made chairman of one of the stand
ing committees of the Senate and that he is a
member of several others. Mr. Schel! is deser
vedly held in high esteem by his fellow sena
tors, and we have no doubt that lie will in his
present position, do great honor both to himself
and the glorious Democracy of this Senatorial
district.
HON- J NO- CESSNA.
We are informed that Gov. PACKER had ten
dered the Sea etaryship since accepted by Mr.
! Heister, to 1 lon. John Cessna, of this place.—
We regret that Mr. C. did not accept the ap
pointment as he would certainly have made an
excellent officer.
speaking of the charges of corruption
now before Congress, the Philadelphia Jlrgu*,
j says:—
Grave charges of fraud and corruption are
now before the Congress of the United States.
First we have a charge against Mr. Cullom, late
Black Republican Clerk of the House ot Repres
entatives, for defrauding the Treasury of $25,-
| 000 in the distribution ol books to the members,
i Then there is a charge of bribery and corrup
! tion against certain Black Republican members
of the last Congress, arising from the item in
the books of Lawrence, Stone be Co., of Boston,
of $87,000, for passing the amended tariff act:
: then the private sale oi Fort Snelling reserva
tion by the government at a price which some
j Black Republican growler alleges to be far less
than might have been obtained for it; and last
! though not least, the movement for the re-expul-
I sion of the notorious, O. B. Matteson, member
I from the Oneida District, from the House of
! Representatives. Highly interesting view of
■ tilings to the lovers of justice of molality.
THE FAILURE OF THE OUTRAGE CROP. —The
editor of the Albany Argus and .'lt I as is evi
dently a wag in his way. In a late number he
roasts the Republicans and their allies unmerci
fully on account of their deplorable condition,
arising from the late entire failure of the Kan
sas outrage crop. Hear him :
"The Tribune pointed with pride to its story
of'two free State men burned to death to Fort
Scott,' and 'the hanging of a clergyman named
Stewart,' while 'Civil War,' 'Siege of Fort
Scott,' 'defeat of United Slates Troops,' 'March
of Gen. Lane and 130U,troops,''Arrest
Lane,' &.C., brought .forward by its colleagues.
All these fruits of Black Republican culture,
In 11 of promise, have been blighted—nipped in
the bud by a kiliing frost.
"Poets speak of 'the luxury of woe,' but
this is not a question of luxury. Outrages have
come to be a matter of necessity ; and the ca
lamity will deprive people of their livelihood.
What will Greeley do without his outrages '?
He can set up the cry for 'Protection to Amer
ican Outrages,' and require of Congress to inter
fen- in behalf of this branch of home industry :
but in the meantime what are his readers to do
without their daily outrage—their brown-toast- j
ed free State men and hung clericals, which
they are accustomed to partake of lor break
fast' ?
"We know that, by a wise provision, the
growers oi' tins profitable political crop, have at
tempted to extend it beyond Kansas and have
put Utah under cultivation. A few weeks
ago, we had a glowing account of murder, star
vation, poison, and defeat, oi which the United
States troops were the victims! It promised
well ; but it peiished ere its bloom! Yesterday
a first-rate outrage was brought out for the de
lectation of tfie iiJack Republicans in the shape
of rumor that a division of Government troops
in Utah had been intercepted, overpowered by
Mormons, butchered fo the number of 200, and
taken prisoners to a large extent besides, and
the officers hung. This was a most gratifying
evidence of the capacity of the distant soil of
.Utah for tfie growth of outrages ; but we fear
that this beautiful and efjbrescent specimen has
been brought out too !at- in the year, and
perish in the fro>t !
"The contemplation of th* misery caused by
the failure of this great staple is heart-rending.
Greeley may be compeljeU {.. tej| (he riutb:
Beecher to Pun to religion: and Heaven knowns
to what extremities others mav be driven in
mid-winter. We draw the veil upon the
picture, ami wait for some philanthropist to
propose a subscription."
LATEST NEWS FROM UTAH-
1 he St. Bonis Republican of the l.'Jlii announ
ces the arrival in that city pi Lieutenant Cor
nd, 10th regiment I rutnl States infantry, di
recj from tin' army at Fort Bridger, having
left Colonel Johnson's command on the Ist De
cember.
Tile whole of tfee troops sent out upon this
expedition have been concentrated, and wre in
winter quarters on Black's Fork, about one and
a quarter mile above Fait Bridger, with the ex
ception of Colr#nel ( ooke's command of dragoons,
inch was posted forty miles distant, on Hen
ry s fork, where there was some scant supply
of grass for the hnr>es. Five companies of in
fantry were stationed at old Fort Bridger, and
ivefe engaged m rebuilding the works, for the
purpose of protecting the provisions, and to he
occupied hereafter as a permanapt fbrt by the
I iiited States. To • whole of the works, it was
anticipated, would be completed by the spring,
ihe locality is an excellent one for this ofej?fct.
1 here is an abundance of wood lor fuel and of
water. The troops were all comfortably sta
tioned in tents, with stoves, and the weather
had been, luckily, very mild. Tiiev were in
excellent health, and numbered some twelve or
fifteen hundred in addition to which, it may he
staled, that there were about a thousand team
sters. and other attaches of an army.
Ihe rumors that the .Mormons proposed to
abandon their settlment at Salt Lake City and
remove to the British possessions are repeated,
and the impression prevails '.hat a removal in
the spring is contemplated. , : Col. Johnson is
represented to be so firmly of this belief, that he
asks no increase of the numerical force of the
aimy under his command, although supplies will
be needed.

WASHINGTON, D. C\, Jan. Utli, 1858.
1 stepped into the Supreme Court Room a few
days ago, and, to mv astonishment, found it
crowded with the most distinguished men o! the
Capitol, and being curious to know the cause of
this unusual gathering of great minds, I soon
learned that it was the occasion of Judge Black s
debut before this Court in a case of great impor
tance. All seemed anxious to hear how his first
forensic effort before the most august legal tri
bunal in the world, would sustain his high char
acter tor talents ami learning.
As a Pennsylvania!), 1 felt an unusual inter
est in his success, and 1 must admit that I was
restless and uncertain of the result ; tor, with all
my confidence in Judge Black's great inind, I
well knew that he had been for years upon the
bench, and in the character of Judge J feared
he had forgotten th>* cunning of the advocate,
and that the cairn deliberation requisite in the
decision of casf-s, had unfitted him for the
"rough and tumble" of the bar : and J feared
lest the constraint of a first appearance before
this exalted tribunal might so embarrass him,
that his effort would not be worthy the man.
The case was that of the United States vs. Hen
ry Cambuston, and the questions involved some
of the most abstruse legal learning found in the
hooks. The defendant claimed title to a large
and valuable tract of land in California,and the
defence to his title was the allegation that his
-papers w?re forged and his evidence manufac
tured for the occasion. Attorney General Black
rose calm, easy, dignified and collected, and
with a logic clear, forcible and convincing, h>*
proceeded to unwind the tangled skein of the
defendant's claim to bring to light the secret
machinery employed to perfect this pretended
title. With illustrations simple and familiar,
yet pertinent and expressive, the whole case
was made to assume a new appearance. You
could almost see the li3nd that wrote the spu
rious grant faltering in its work of fraud. You
looked upon and pitied the poor perjured witness
who craved the wrath of Heaven and invoked
the terrors of the last great day on his tale of
falsehood; he stood before you with the secret
witness of his heart laid hare—a revolting spec
tacle of the degradation of man.
You know that I love Judge Black, but never
before did I feel so proud of him, and never be
fore did he rise so much above himself as on the
occasion of his debut in this great case. The
deep tones ofhis manly voice, the coolness and
clearness with which he dissected and exposed
to view the intricate secrets which hung
around the inception of the defendant's title,
clothed in the rich drapery of racy, pure old
Anglo-Saxon words, combined sentences terse
and so powerful, all contributed to heighten the
man and the occasion, and to win from the
auditory full admiration.
It is admitted on ail bands that Judge Biack
is one of the ablest Attorney-Generals we eve r
had. This is saying much, but nevertheless it
is true. Here, as at his Keystone home, he is
a universal favorite—admired for his excellent
talents, and loved for his social virtues,
SEPOY" VICTIMS IN ENGLAND-
fhe Medical Jimes says : "It has become the
fashion for certain writers to throw doubts upon
the truth oi the reports of the atrocities commit
ted by the Sepoy mutineers upon our countrv
loen in India. It is said that these reports
have come through native spies, have been col
ored by Indian press, and have not been authen
ticated by European testimony. How for these
irgnments are ivorrhy of credit our readers may
judge from the following statement.— We have
Oeen assured by a medical friend that he has
been consulted by a ladv who has recently
arrived at Bayswater, fiom India, whose noes
has been cutoff. H>T child, three ve.irs old,
has neither hands nor feet ; thev were all cut off
by tiie mutineers. How the child survived is a
mystery. The governess to the family escaped
with the loss of her ears, which were cut off as
an easy way of getting her ear-rings. Another
friend is attending a lady whose nose has been
slit open, and her ears have been cut off. She
has brought home to England three young chil
dren, all blind. 1 heir eyes have all been gou
ged out by the Sepoys. We have heard from
another source, quite beyond question, (a lady
who speaks from personal knowledge,) that there
air several ladies now in Calcutta, who have
undergone such unspeakable degradation that
they obstinately refuse to give their names.
They prefer to be thought of bv their relations in
England as dead. There are also in Calcutta
several young children whose names are quite
tnknown. One little creature says "she is
namma's pet," and that is all we are likely to
know of her past history.
TJIE JEWS IN NEW YORK-
A New York correspondent of the Boston
Journal mentions the following recent modifica-
in the religious observance ol the Jews in
tiat citv, who number, we believe, nut tar from
&,000 :
j 4l H)e old slyleol singing, in one or more of
tie lip-town synagogues, has given place to a
modern choir, organ and all the accompaniment?,
ibis has brr-n done ir; the face of tire most
virulent opposition from the staid old Jews,
aid to the inhntle disgust ot all who ask for the
oil paths, But the innovation does not end
\yilh the organ and the choir. The question of
tie day ol worship has on many occasions agi
tated the Hebrews. Some are uncharitable
erough to say, that the Jews cannot alibi J to
lc*e two days in the week; and as Saturday,
their Sabbath, is one of the best days in the
wfek lor trade, and Sunday, our Sabbath, is
ere of the worst, it is proposed to adopt the
Sunday of the Christians. And this latter plan
has already been put into practical use by Rev.
Di. Raphael, who on Sunday last preached on
the death of the late Judah Touro.
"Touro is the Girard of the Jews, and at the
title ol iiis death he distnbuted his immense
walth among the Hebrews in America, and an
annual service is held in commemoration of his
buieficeiice. Jt was a marked sight to see the
synagogue of the Israelites open on the day sa
ctvd as that on which the Lord arose from the
dtad. It may indicate the near approach of
that time when those who crucified the Son of
the Highest, shall through their descendants
say, 'Blessed is he that cometh in the name ot
the Lord!'
