A RAUJSUAD i'o BEDFORD. Mb. nci,!., ntir aide representative in the State Senate, ?<as.j r-cured a charter for a Rail road to this place, the title ot the company chartered being the "Bedford Railroad Compa ny." The charter is an excellent one and |ives the Company the privilege of connecting with any ra'iroa i now constructed, or which may hereafter be constructed, i;i Bedford, or adjoining counties. It aiso contains a provi sion authorizing any three commissioners nam ed in the act of incorporation to open books and obtain subscriptions of stock, immediately after the passage of the act. We sincere!v hope that the project may be brought to a successful termination. THE SPRING ELECTIONS. The result of the elections held in thediTer ent townships and boroughs ot this county, • n Friday last, augurs wei! for the Democratic party. We have carried our candidates in districts where the opposition usuallv have large majorities. In East Providence, and in M: d!? Woodberry, both generally carrsed bv our /portents, the form r by large majorities, -several of l!)p principal cilices were carried by <:e Democrats. In St. b iair, long considered in opposition strong-hold, the Democratic can didate for Assessor, Cipt. John ACtaJt, was beaten but three votes.' In Harrison, which gave a major ity for the mongrels last Fall, the Democratic candidates for Assessor and Judge of Election, ti -d their opponents. And so in other districts. The Democracy of old Bedford are in good con dition and are we!! prepared to give their ene mies another sound drubbing on the second Tuesday of October next. "EECOMBTON" IN NAPIER. The glorious Democracy of .Napier township, in this county, met a few weeks ago, (as already noted in this paper) to make nominations for the Spring Election. They nominated their candidates and hoisted them on a fair and square "Lecompton" platform and every one of those candidates was triumphantly elected. The Democratic majority is larger than it was last f alt. \\ e respectlulfy as!; the Philadelphia Press to publish this Democratic triumph side by side with some ot those Democratic defeats which it parad. s so conspicuously in its col umns.

We gave in a previous number of the G 2e//e, a statement of several of the most respec table citizens of Kansas, refulingthe assertion of the Abolition demagogues that "nineteen counties of Kansas Teriitorv were disfran chised at the election of Delegates to the Le compton Constitutional Convention." That statement proved conclusively that this asser tion was utter!v groundless and that it was made only for th- sake of manufacturing polit ical capital against MR. BUCHANAN and the Democratic Party. We, now, give, as cumu lative evidence of tue fallacy of this charge of "disfranchisement ," thp following extract from the able report of MR. STEPHENS, Chairman of the Select Committee of the National House of Representatives to whom was referred the L con.pt n Constitution and the paper accompa nying it : "It will be seen from the proclamation of ; Governor Stanton th at twenty-one out of the thirty-four counties* were embraced in the ap portionment; and ihe journals of the conven tion show that all these were represented in that body. From the same proclamation it will be seen that five election distiicts, embracing thirteen counties, were left out of the appor tionment. These were, as will appear from what has been stated, the 13;h district, being Franklin county; the 14lh, including Weller, Breckinridge, Wise, and Madison; the 15th, Butler and Coffee ; the 17th, Anderson county; | and the 19th, Woodson, Wilson, Greenwood, Godfrey, and Hunter. Of these thirteen counties nine had but a | smal I population in them. This (apart from the statement of Mr. Calhoun and other reliable : information) clearly appears from the returns of the election on the 4-th January last, tiie official announcement of which is fifed with the pa j pers of this report. From that it will be seen | that not a vote was returned as having been ! cast in that election in seven of these thirteen counties about the disfranchi. 'merit of' which so I much complaint has been made. These seven counties are Weller, Wise, Buth r, Wilson, Godfrey, Greenwood, and Hunter. Nor was there a vote at that election in either of the three unorganized counti -sot Washington, Clay, and Dickinson. In two oi the thirteen counties staled above —tow : Madison and Wood-on— there were but 90 votes cast—l-0 in the foimer and 50 in • the litter : and hut 1,1*25 in the four rerr.ain , ing—to wit: Franklin, 304: Breckinridge, 19! ; Coffee, 453; and Anderson, 177; so that if the election ol the4lh January* should be re : ceived as evidence of anything, it would prove not! -iig more conclusively than that the clam or about the disfianchisemt nt of half the peo ple. or even a considerable portion of the people of the Territory, is utterly groundless, and re sorted to only as a pretext fir the want of : something more soli*!. This pre! Xt becomes I the more ghring when the cause cf their being no registry in these four counties of Franklin, Breckinridge, Anderson and Coflee is uhder -1 stood. This is fully explained not only br the > statement of Mr. Calhoun alluded to, but bv the deposition of George Wilson, to be found in Senate Document No. 52, at this session. From these and other notorious facts, the real and - —— —* - ro.r.itT- oi ir-iMir m voters in these counties, and a consequent failure of rep resentation being appoitioiud to them in the convention, too clearly appears to need much explanation. The parti-s in whose behalf the cry of disfranchisement is now raised, prevent ed the registry themselves. Since the organ i | zation of that Territory, there has been in it a ■ tia-s of men whoie avuwtd object was to op ; pose and overthrow aii legal authority. Thev i went there with this purpose. Their object | was to set up an imperium in imperio. In the language of the President, they have been in a •'state ofrebeiii-.tr against the legally constitu ted authorities fioui tiie beginning. This is ful ly established by numerous reports of Gover nors Shannon, Geary, and Walker, and S**ere j fary Stanton. They were, to a certain extent, I the emissaries ofth ).-e wiro denounced the Kan sas bill when it passed, as a great "wrong" arid t an "outrage," and who vvre resolved to defeat i its peaceful operation. to show the groundl-'ssness of tit • first clam or, as well as the hist, we might here inquire what was the wiong or outrage < ! tr .t bill ? i\ as it a great vvr >ng or outrage to ' em.it the people of New York, Massachusetts, or other States of the norl , us well as the people of the south going i' i > a m-yv lerrifory, the common property ol all, to be as free as they yvere at their native hones, and in forming new States j toff'Kv the same rights which their fathers did ' in the formation of all our present State con ! stitutions an.. go\ • rninents! 1 his is just : that bill did on the uuin qu stion of controver sy in Kansas —nothing more—nothing less. . But, rather than see tins great principle ot right, ! justice and equality carried cut, this class' of , men went to that Teriitory to defeat it at every j hazard. Setting themselves up in defiance ol layv from the beginning, they noiv denounce a constitution made by those who conformed to liwas "a frau "a cheat," and "a swindle." : But the more ultra of the same party elsewhere ! have long since said much wors things of the | Constitution of the United States. This cla-s of malcontents in Kansas are organized in a party having the control of some oftfie counties. I'hev refused fo recognize the validity of the law requiring the registry to be made. They ! opposed its execution both by withholding their : o ■ n names in some instances, ami in others bv : driving the officers whose duty it was to make it, | from the country, with threats to take the life I of any who should attempt it. This yvas par- ; ticulariy the case in Anderson and Franklin cour:'.!. s. if, then, these counties yvere unrep- I resent.-d in the convention, their disfranchise- | me; ! uas t*. <■ yvor!; of their own people. An oth- r significant fact to be noticed from the! registry and apportionment together with the ! official report of the 4th January, is this : that I Ihe five counties, to wit, Leavenwoith, Atrhi- I son, Douglas, Doniphan, and Jefferson, at that \ election cast an aggregate vote of S,HS, which j is a majority of the yvfiole vote repotted to have been cast throughout the entire Territory ; against the constitution. And yet ait tlwse i count it s were registered ami represented in the convention. They had thirty-six of the sixty' delegates of which that body was composed. • Now, ii it be true that the opponents ol the ' constitution are so largely in the majority in those counties, and are so violent in their oppo sition, as they are represented to be, why did they not elect men to tiie convention yvlio * 1 here are thirty-four organized counties in Kansas and three unorganized. would have formed a constitution more to their liking? These counties alone, by the registry, had within four votes of t o-thirds of the con vention, and could have made just such a con ! stitution as would have been most agreeable to i their people. If they refused to act at the proper time, why do they complain now? If | others, conforming lo the law, went into the convention and formed a constitution to suit themselves, was it not their fair r jut and legal right lo do it ? These complaints come too late, even ifthey come from ordetly, law-abiding citizens. As well might the thousands who ab stained from the polls or threw away their votes at the last presidential election, now come for ward and claim that the present administration is illegal, and should beset aside, because the inaugurated Chief Magistrate did not receive a majority of all the legal voters of the Uuiled States, as for these people now to complain of the lesull of their own laches or illegal acts, or to seek to remedy it by any such irregular pro ceedings as the vote taken on the 4th January against the constitution, after it had been legally 1 adopted. ; DE MoCit AT ICS TAT ft COM MITTEE- In pursuance of the resolution passed by the j State Convention, authorizing me to appoint a | Slate Committee, to consist of not less than one j from each Senatorial District, I have appoiufed the following gentlemen : R.

A BARREN POLITICAL PARTY- Who can name one great measure which the great opposition party has impressed upon Ihe history of the country ? Here it has been struggling and wiilhing for the last twenty years, (WP say nothing of its open federal ca reer before it stole the name of Whig and Re publican,) and yet its impress, does not stamt a single feature nf the history of the country It lias writhed and agonized, broken the hearts of its noblest men, got up all sorts of political swindles, from bard cider to fuss ar.d feathers, j but it has not left the record of any one great j measure on the page of history. It gave up a | national bank long ago. The bankrupt law, | which it passed in the hey-day of the Tippr ! canoe triumph, was so infamous that it died ; within a year from i!s birth of the very j stench which it created. High tariff notions have followed the bankrupt law to its ignoble ! grave. Other political calch-words have long ceased j jto ling from the lips of the once powerful op positr n parly; it has nothing left now but , Kansas and niggers. With all the vast expen ! di'iire of money the party Ins hitherto made, ! j with all the ferocious zeal they* have manifest- j i ed, wi.ii all their mad schemes to convulse] and dissolve the Lnion, the opposition have I ■nothing to show upon the record of history. ! Not one gr at public measure have they adopted ! which now stands in full force. Not one great ' , principle have they ever successfully carried j | out. \\ i;o wishes to follow sucii "blind I 1 guides?" Democra!ic principle, Democratic policy, are I stunped upon the age, and interwoven with j every line of the country's history; but where is I one great measure to show that the opposition patty ever existed ? Its history is one dark chapter of syrrq athy with the foes of our coun try in time of war, and faction and treason in j tune of peace. Philadelphia Jtrgus. The w asbinglon correspondent of (lie i Chambersburg Valley Spirit, writing under date jof the 12lh irsf., makes Ihe following interes ting announcement : "I suppose that your readers will be surpri . set! as well as gratified to learn that on Wednes day last at 2 o'clock, Miss Rebecca Black, the accomplished daughterof the Attorney General, was united in marriage to James F. Shunk, Esq., son of the late Governor Francis R. Shunk, of I Pennsylvania. Air. Shunk has been for some i months past holding an important position in the office of the Attorney General, and has made himself universally* popular in metropolitan society, and his present good luck, which it is my pleasure to chronicle, will be verv gratify ing to his friends here and elsewhere. Mrs. Shunk, of whom it is needless, indeed, that I should say anything in commendation, has won for herself in this metropolis great praise for the gentleness of her disposition and the very lady - hkedeportinent she has ever exhibited towards all who enjoy her acquaintance. The wedding was attended by President Buchanan, Mr. J. B. Henry, his private secretary, Miss Lane, Hon. Henry Chapman, of Pennsylvania—whose wife is, I believe, the sister of Mr. Shunk—a sister of Mrs. Black, ami one orfuo other Pennsyhani ans. The Attorney General and his lady* dis pensed very gracefully the hospitalities ot their mansion, to the few distinguished guests pres ent. On the occasion, the Rev. Dr. Septimus Tu-tin, of tiie Presbyterian Church, performed the ceremony, and at 4 o'clock the happy cou ple left the city for a brief visit to their former residence in Pennsylvania.
