THE BEDFORD GAZETTE.; BoUM, Jn. S9, * B. F. Meyers & G. W. Benfwrd, Editors. DEMOCRATIC MEETING. 1 he regular fin-oat meeting "I the Democracy of Bedford county, will !><• held in the Court House, on Monday evening of the coming Court Week. February St 1. Uv>B. 1 urn out ! Turn out' Inaugural Ttulrtss of Gov. E'aekrr. We commend to the p.-m.-a! of our readers the "Inaugural Address" of our new Governor, which will be found on the first page of this is sue of the Gazelle. There is not aline ol it which does not contain .-ootid Democratic doc trine. The.sentunt uls which it enunciates'in regard to the leading questions of the day, are such as will meet with a hearty resjionse from every Democrat in the St at *. On t} i• • subject ot the Velo POM er anil the signing of bills by the Executive, the views of the Governor are especially to be commended. Jn the lan. iriiajp of the "Address. ' "it is manifestly the intention of the Cons! nut ion that the deliberate and conxcientinns approval ot the Governor shall he given t > a bill before it becomes a law. in addition to tim approval of the two Houses that have pirviously passed it: unless the ma jorities afterwards given it upon re-considera tion in each House, shall be so decisive as to clearly indicate the wisdom of the measure." The opposition to "small notes as a currency" and to the "increase of banking capital under present arrangements," expressed by the Gov ernor, meets with our unqualified approbation, as it will with that of every Democrat who is loval and true to the principles of his party. We hope the Legislature will at once act upon his suggestions in reference to this subject.— The Governor evinces a laudable determination to carry out the conststutiona! amendment late ly adopted which "demands the establishment of an effective sinking fund for the payment of the public debt." On this head lie remarks very truly that "after eight years of experience un der the sinking fund act of 1849, we find our public indebtedness but slightly diminished."— {This act, it will be remembered, is the "Sinlr tn' Fund .dct" of which the Abolition Govern or, Wm. F. Johnston, and his adherents once up on a time boasted so loudly.]— The declaration .of the Governor, that "our system of incorpora tions has become so vast, diversified and diffi cult of comprehension, that no reasonable in dustry can master the whole subject and under stand precisely where we are and whither we are drifting," should stimulate the legislature to "a thorough revision of our laws on this subject and the establishment of general, uniform regu lations for each class of corporate bodies." The Governor refers briefly to the difficulties in Utah and Kansas, placing himself with regard to the latter, on the broad platform of the "Will off he .Majority ascertained according to I. aw" long since occupied by his brother Democrat, JAMES BUCHANAN. Indeed, as ardent support ers of the Kansas policy of President Buchanan, we could not have desired a stronger endotse ment ol that policy from Governor Packer than that given in his Inaugural Address. We presume that the Governor would not have made the Kansas question atopic of his Address, had not his late opponent, Mr. l\ ilmot, forced it upon tin' people of Pennsylvania as an issue, and thus caused a portion of them to look to the new Governor for some expression of opin ion in regard to it. He, doubtless, therefore, considered it his duty to make known iris views on that subject, hoping, perhaps, in so doing to aid in allaying the useless excitement which has sprung and which is at present so needlessly distracting the minds of the peo ple. In speaking of the Federal Government, the Governor pays a high tribute to Mr. Bu chanan and his Cabinet. He says "At this time we inve -Dong reason to contide in that government,as we know that its administra tion is in safe, aide and patriotic hands; and that it may be trusted to deal justly with all sections of lb- country." The people of Pennsylvania need but read Governor Packer's "Address," to behold the wisdom of their choice in elevating him to the highest office in th-<r gift. If the Legislature will make laws as honestly as the Governor will execute them, then we need not fear that iri three years hence we shall "behold Pennsylva nia advanced and secure in her position a.- - one of the great communities of the New World her standard aloft, and proudly bearing, untar nished, her motto of' Virtue, Liberty and Inde pendence.' " Buchanan's position on the question of admitting Kansas into the Union, is that oc cupied by every man who beiieves that Law and Order are necessary to the successful work ings of a Republican Government. Mis oppo nents are in favor of continuing the reign of fa naticism and violence which has so long and so carelessly ravaged unhappy Kansas. There is not a Border Ruffian, whether of the "Blue Lodge," or the Beecher sml, that is not oppos ed to Mr. Buchanan's policy. Jim Lane is op posed to it. Striugfellovv is opposed to it. All are opposed to it who are in favor of piolong ing agitation and anarchy. The i-ason of this is obvious. Air. Jiuduinan is endeavoring to settle, the Kansas dijjicultits —his opponents are striving for purposes of their own,to keep them unsettled. liyWe hope that the Democracy of each and every township in the county, will have some of their number present at the- meeting to be held on Monday evening of Court week, as business of importance to be transacted. Modest and Liberal. Thf organ ofthe Buzzard Clique , which has been advocating for the last three, or four years, the principles (?) of those factions which would persecute the white man and elevate the black, in its last issue arrogates to itself the title of a liberal newspaper ! Now we might object to this assumption on the part of the Buzzard as lining rather immodest, but when we reflect upon the fact that he is so liberal as even to give the name to which he and his clique alone have any claim, to Democrats (styling them niggers) I his magnanimity entirely overcomes us and we are compelled to acknowledge that he is as liberal a black-guard as ever went into a "Buz zard Feast.'''' The aforesaid organ very modest ly claims to be a news-pa per and one that pub lishes public documents no matter to what side j of politics they may lean. Why, then, does it j not publish the speeches of Senators Bigler, i Green, Fitch, the letter of Judge Black and oth er papers of a similar"political tone? Ay, there's ' the rub ! They don't answer the purpose of making Black Republicans. The Buzzard would like to have people think he publishes all kinds of party documents merely as matter of news. His wish might be gratified if Ihe public were as biind as himself, or if no such person as H. Bucher Swoope had ever existed. But, as the case stands, he dis plays the same cloven foot which he exhibited in prof-ssing to support Fillmore whilst secret ly woiking for Fremont. The public will not j deny that the Buzzard rs said to have been lib ! era' in the campaign of 18o(i. *\ * The Gazette, says, that '"he (Gov. Pollock) tickles the ears of the Know Nothings and throws a sop to the Abolitionists." Then he was after yon. with a long pole, Mr. Meyers, wasn't he?— Organ of the liuzzard Clique. half as long a one as that with which 11. Rucher Swoope last fall stirred tip your rotten carcass, .Mr. Buzzard. PATENT OFFICE REPORTS. Many of our ftiends ate, doubtless, expecting to be fttrnislied with Patent Office Reports by our representative in Congress, Mr. Reilly. To such we would say, that Mr. Reilly's predecess or received all the Reports for 1856, and that, consequently, Mr. R. will not he able to furnish any during the present session of Congress, un less a resolution be passed by the House to print an additional number for the use of the mem bers. Mr. Reilly will promptly send to his constituents whatever documents he may get. A GLORIOI S VICTORY. The Democrats of Allegheny city at the late election held in that place, elected their candi date for Mayor, and also several of their candi dates for councilmen. This is a great triumph, indeed, Allegheny having hitherto been an Ab olition strong-hold. It seems that the more the Abolitionists agitate the Kansas question, the weaker they become. If they keep on in their present downward track till 1860, they'll not have a man left to run for President. Free State men of Kansas swept ev erv thinz before them at the election on the 4-th inst. They carried two-thirds of the Legisla ture, their candidate tor Governor and other state officers and elected their candidate for member of Congress. Therefore, all they must do in order to have every thing entirely their own way, is to be admitted into the Union un der the Lecompton Constitution, and that done, to have their Stale Legislature call a Consti tutional Convention (it desired by their constit uents) to alter or amend the existing constitu tion, or form a new one in accordance with the wishes of the sovereign people. order that theie maybe no excuse for complaint in any quarter, we will publish Mr. Douglas' speech on Kansas affairs, as soon as we can conveniently find mom for it. \\ ill the Abolitionists publish that ot iVI r.

If he did not, our iublioal readers will be able tocor rect us." The above paragraph appeared in the "Herald and Whig"of last week, and we copy it more with the view of extending its circulation than from any other consideration. If David Hay did thus "signaliz- ills advent in the House," what tight have Hi- editors of that paper to com plain Did Messrs. Sen 11 &. Ogle vote for David flay ? or did tiny do anything towards advancing his election'? If they did neither, then Mr. Hay OH < s ih.-m nothing, and it is none of their business for whom be votes for Speaker. We take it that there is a good deal of down right impudencedisplayed in this announcement ot ttie editors of that paper, and we think it will he properly appreciated by the many friends of David Hay in Somerset county. After the Black Republican leaders had done all that they could to get David Hay to decline being a can didate ; after they endeavored to defeat his ejec tion by charging hitn with being "a loeo-fbeo;" after they all voted "square up" against him, the organ ol these Abolition leaders now "comes in ami calls him harsh names, because he has •signalized' his integrity by standing true to the party that elected him. If the above fling of that paper denotes anything, it is that of'intense hatred to the man who rode triumphantly into the Legislative halls over the broken and man gled limbs of his enemies. Long may he wave. —Somerset Democrat. HOKACC GRUBLBYAT CHURCH. —Mr. Greelev says the Chicago Journal , attended St. Paul's church on Sunday evening. One who sat near him says : He came in rather late—took a seat —put on his glasses—looked at the minister and at the pulpit—looked up at the ceiling— then took a glance at the audience on either side ofhim—leaned back in his seat, and— went to alte/i! Duncan Mcßride, a well-known steamboat captain, of Rochester, \. Vis dead. [From the Washington Union.] A few day's since we reverted to the first legal step taken by the people of Kansas to prepare it for admission into the Union as a State, and published in full the law submitting the question oi convention or no convention to a vote of the people. That law was fair and just, and under it all persons, citizens of the United States, were entitled to vote. This vote, thus provided for, was taken at the election in October, I8i)6, at the time members of the legislature were chosen. There were two ways in which the people had a chance (o express their wishes : first, by say ing, through the ballot-box, whether a conven- ' l ion should be held, and their government alter ed ; and, secondly, by electing members of the legislature, upon whom devolved the duty to call tlw convention in the event tiiat a majority lof the people desire it. No way could be de vised better calculated to ascertain clearly the will of the people of Kansas on t his matter. We allude to this initiatory step thus briefly, in order to place in its proper connexion the annexed narrative of those subsequently taken to execute the law providing for the election of delegates to the convention. This narrative we find in a communication recently published in the Si. Louis Republican, and it is also a com plete reply to the new fad dwelt upon with so much emphasis by ex-Governor Walker, to in validate the action of the Lecompton convention. Its correctness is certified to by the several gen tlemen whose names are appended thereto, and up to this time it has not been controverted, that we are aware of, in any direction : At the October election in 1556 a majority of five thousand votes were cast in favor of a con | vention, and at the session of the Kansas legis j lative assembly, which met on the secondMon j day of January last, f!Bf7,J "all necessary pro ! visions were made for" that convention. A law | was passed taking lor its basis the principles of ! the celebrated Toornbs bill, which Senator Doug : las helped to make, and tor which he voted. It ! provided for the registry of all the legal voters | of the Territory by the sheriff of each county j and his deputies. The probate judges Were le quired to hold courts or sessions in convenient parts ot tire counties, and add to the lists return ed by the sheriffs any names accidentally or wrongfully omitted. It also provided that in cases where there was no probate judge,or he would not act, then the sheiriff should, and if there was no officer at ail to perform the duties specified, then the people might petition the governor to appoint some one to carry out the law. The governor says that "fifteen counties" were entirely disfranchised, "and by no fault of their own." Let us see :In Franklin county, one of the "oldest organized," Esquire Yocuin, probate judge, was driven away by the abolition ists, as was also Richard Goulding, sherifTof said county ; each of these officers uas threatened with death should they attempt to perform the duties conferred upon them by the registry law. 1 nder the same circumstances, George Wilson, judge of probate for Anderson county, was pie vented from executing the law. So with Allen county ; Passmore Williams had to leave in order tosaveiiis life. J. J. Barker, probate judge of Breckinridge, being a free-State man, refused toad. These Jour were the only organized counties 'not represented in the- convention. j Why not represented ? It was the fault of those j who now complain, and "on their heads, and | theirs alone, will rest the responsibility." It is well to observe that oi' the nineteen coun ties spoken of as not repreAted, the census was not taken in tour for the Masons stated ; the other fifteen were, for civil purposes, attached to organized counties as follows: Two, Richardson and Welier, to Shawnee. Three, Madison, Butler, and Wise, to Breck inridge. One, Coffee, to Anderson. One, McCee, to Bourbon. Six, Greenwood, Hunter, Dorn, Wilson, Woodson,-and Gregory, to Alien. One, Brown, to Doniphan. One, Davip, to Riley. The counties of Brown, Washington, Clay, and Dickinson were organized at the last session of the legislature; in the last-named three there were no inhabitants. The registry law was executed, and voters were registered in the following counties ; John son, Lykins, Lynn, Bourbon, Douglas, Shaw nee, Doniphan, Atchison, Leavenworth, JeflVr son, Neineha, Calhoun, Marshall, and Riley. It will thus be seen that the only counties really disfranchised were ttm four in which ab olitionists would permit no registry to be taken ; and it i 3 an established fact that many factious people refused to tell their names,and otherwise obstructed the officers—some giving fictitious appellations, and others threatening the lives and property of* census takers. "These officers were political partisans," and they "refused or neglected to take any census or make any registry, and therefore they were entirely disfranchised, and could not, and did not give a singleAote." Why did they not compel the to do their duty? It was possible ; but if not, they could have petitioned the governor for redress. If the people of those counties could not and did not vote, it was a "fault of their own," and on "their heads, and theirs alone, will rest the responsibility." # * # # " a-. From first to last, every opportunity has been given for an expression of the will of the majori ty : and now if the principles of a minority, as alleged, are to triumph in Kansas, by the neglect or factions opposition of the socalled mojority, "on their heads, and theirs alone, will rest the responsibility."
