JOB MANN, President.
The Voice of Old JYapier —The first re
sponse to the action of li e HarrisLurgConven
tion, comes from the gallant Democrats of glori
ous "Old Napier."' We give their resolutions
below. It will he seen that they emphatically
orttlorse the Kansas policy of MR. UI:CIIANAN.
We hope that the example ol the Democracy of
Napier will he followed in every election dis
trict. in the county, in the thorough organization
of the party, so that our enemy will not meet us
unprepared at the coming election.
At a Meeting of (he Democratic citizens of
Napier Township, ueld in Schellsburg, on
Saturday the Gtb day of March, to form a town
ship tick-d, the following Resolutions were
unanimous!)* adopted :
Resolva', That we unanimously approve of
the ticket nominated,and, as Democrats, will
heartily support and elect the said ticket, on
Friday the 19th of March next.
Resolved, That ue approve of the Adminis
tration of James Buchanan an ! his Kansas pol
,c.v'
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet- i
ing be signet! by the officers of the meeting, f
and published in the Bedford Gazelle.
JOHN S. STATLER, President, j
G. W. GUMP, Secretary.
Breach of Promise. —The Abolition organ !
made a solemn [ romise, a few weeks ago, that j
if we would publish the speech of Senator .
DOUGLAS on Kansas affairs, it would give place j
in its columns to that of Senator Bi I.F.R. We :
accepted the gffer, an ! publish. J the speech of j
MR. DOUGBAS. Now the Ah Gition organ re- j
fuses to redeem its promise. It declines \ •:l>- !
lishing the speech of MR. IliGLi:;:, shamefully I
breaking the pledge which it solemnly made,!
and unblusliinglv vi >|atmg t.he terms of a con- !
tract which it was the lir*f to propose. Who '
would, or could , have confidence in that she t, j
after mjch dishonoi able and unmanly conduct? j
Burned to Death.—One day la&t week, j
Elizabeth Gales, a colored girl of tn or twelve ]
years of age, whilst engaged about a fire in !mr j
father's house in Shover's Valley, in this county ,
was so badly burned by her clothes taking fir",
that she di >d in a short lira* after the accident.
The deceased had charge of a nmnberof children
younger than herself and was her father's main
stay and support, his worse half having drrt-
e i him some t imp ago.
Sentence'!. —C. M. Oftfxger, convicted of
Forgery and Larceny, has been sentenced to
seven years hard iibnr in the Cistern Peniten
tiary.
Sncir.r or a Clergyman. —The Rev. Simon
Dinl who had been deranged for SORT time,
committed suicide in Tiverton, F. 1., on last
Tut sJay.
BEPORT ON KANSAS AFFAIRS.
The majority of the committee of the House
of Representatives, to whom was referred the
Kansas difficulty, have prepared their report
through their chairman, the Hon. A. 11. Ste
phens, of Georgia. They embrace the following
points :
First—The law taking a sense of the people
upon the expediency of calling a Convention.
Second—The law providing for the call of a
Convention in pursuauc" of tj., popular will
expressed.
Third—The registration of voters and the ap
portionment of delegates made hy Secretary
Stanton.
Fourth—The assembling of the Convert 1 >n
-at Lecompton and their arti n in submitting the
slavery question, the only one in controversy,
to the people.
Fifth—fhe Constitution formed bv the Con
ventions so assembled.
Sixth—The action of the people on the ques
tion* in it submitted to vole m the 2ls! ol De
cember.
These are all the essential facts embraced in
Ihe call. Perfect legality and regulai ity mark
every step of the proceedings. Whv sh- oh!
not I fie State be admitted ? asks the report.
The report then takes up and answer- s the
objections which il not arise on t!m face of the
record. No Constitution can be valid which is
n d firA ratified by a popular vote. This posi
tion of Gov. Walker is shown to be untenable,
bath on principle and authority. N :ne of the
Constitutions cfthe oi l States were thus ratified
and many of the new have not been. The sec
ond objection the want of an enabling act —is
shown to be untenable by numerous precedents,
the care ol California in particular. Another
©bp c!ion is a? to the fairness of the registry and
npjrorlionment. This is fully answered. There
• thirty-eight counti s in Kansas, twenty-one
vhich were represented. Thirteen ol the
rs have little or no population. In these
71. cn, on the Ith ofJanuary election, there
"iv hs; than one hundred votes cast against the
Constitution. The fbiir others had no registry,
h "cn'i (In- officers were no! permitted to make
it. They wet e driven away Ly force and threats.
'I he report ignores the votes of the 4lh of
January, although arguing that a fair interpre
tation ot that v te, upon the basis of apportion
ment made bv Secretary Stanton, would show
that the Constitution ha J not been defeated even
then.
The report is very elaborate, ar.d covers ail
the points, an . cl n s with an able srgurwnt
for the admission ri Kansas as recommended bv
the President. This is urged as best fur Kansas,
as well as the peace atul harmony ot (lie whole
Union.
The report and resolution u\ re carried by a
vote of eight to s. veil.
I'iie Committee adjourned nine die, with the
understanding that Mr. Stephens would not
pres-nt his report fo the flouse for a f. vv days,
allowing the minority time to prepare theirs.
ft is understood there will be i p minority
reports, as in the Senate—one from the Douglas
republicans, and the other from the Black P. --
publi ms. The Mouse will probably await the
acii >,n of t!ie Senate.

DEATH OF COMMODORE M. C.
Matthew C. Perry, a gallant jvid
accou'.pifs.'. -.1 officqpiof tfie i "nited States Navy,
died on Thursday morruiw. at hi* residence in
V '\v-York. aft. r a Severe illness. Me repre
sented the third generation of the name of Perry
in the American Wavy, fits uncle having been
tiie distinguished Oliver H. Perry, whose father
v, ai Raymond Perry, first a m< i chant captain
and afterwards a captain in the Navy of the
y ung American Republic.
Commodore Perry entered the-N'avy, March
Ist, 180'), as a midshipman, and served through
the war of 1812, being promoted to lieutenancy
in IS3I. His commission as captain dates from
Feb. 9th, 1537. His first important service,
in that rank, was on the Gtilfof Mexico, in ISM)
when he successfully led the expeditions against
the towns of Tobasco and Lag una, and after
wards as the successor of Commodore Con no i
iw the command of the Gulf squadron, conduc
ted the bombardment of the city of Vera Cruz,
rendering efficient service in the landing of the
American Army at that point,
fn the jnar 1552, Commodore P. rry was ap
pointed (o the command oLfhe East India squad
ron, and in this post it became his duty to con
duct the expedition to Japan. The abilitv u i'.h
which he discharged tin's peculiarly delicate
and important trust, and the complete succes
with' which it was rewarded, are yet fresh in
the recollection of the American people. His
success opened the way for the English and
Russian expeditions, and he has live I just long
enough to hear that Japan has determined to
to send an envoy to the great States of America
and Europe—the crowning triumph of hi* ad
mirably managed mission. Commodore Perry
was nearly seventy years of age.

lows his thoughts to revert to his family oil elects in
a measure safe from the trials and temp ta'ion* f>i the
world. We regret to believe that there are few iui--
bands who give a practical turn to such thoughts, else
there would be a (mover: and K.umuSewirig Machine
