DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.
JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT:
WILLI AH A. PORTER,
Of Philadelphia.
CANAL COMMISSIONER:
WEST L. E V FROST,
Of Fayette. County.
AM IS ERA BEE A BORTIOX-
The hybrid, speckled, spotted, ring-streaked
and striped opposition to the Democratic Party,
endeavored to get up a public meeting on Tues
day evening last, but failed most ingforiously in
the attempt. They had published the call for
the meeting in their organ, J in the most con
spicuous style and had resorted to especial pains
to attract a crowd on the ocrasion, but a!! in
vain. The people have been too often deceived
by their hollow promises and insidious misrepre
sentations and, therefore, stayed at home and
treated them with the contempt due to their
trickery and dishonesty. A friend who counted
the number of persons present at the meeting
when in full blast, assures us that it did not
exceed eighty-seven , or eighty-eight, all told !
Bv dint of hard labor, the Abolition boss
politicians, of whom MR. F. JORDAN and MR. J.
11. FIU.ER, seemed to be the most active, finally
succeeded in organizing the meeting. 1 hey j
managed to raise a President and were so extra
ordinarily successful as to obtain the consent of
two men to act as Vice Presidents. Indeed, they
were even so wonderfully fortunate as to secure
the services of a few secretaries, whom they were
compelled to take from Bedford Borough, for,
had they taken them from the rural districts,there
would have been great danger that no materia]
wouldremain whereof to construct the committee
on resolutions, which was to be composed ofone
man from each district. After the "heavy
work" of organizing the meeting was at last
finished, MR. JORDAN, of Simon Cameron and
"Buzzard Feast" notoriety, stated the object of
the meeting and moved the appointment of a
Committee of one from each election district to
draft resolutions. MR. JORDAN called over the
townships and boroughs, but only eight men
could be found who were willing and ready to
assist him jn punctuating his resolutions. When
MR. JORDAN called out Cumberland \ alley, his
lace wore a most lugubrious e.vpressioc, and he
could not refrain from making a fling at the
giqpoys Democracy of that ever faithful town
tcat no response from ii Liltle j
when Abolitionisms-culled vpon its
nam'! Whilst MR. JORDAN and hiscommittee
were out tinkering at their resolutions, MR.
JOHN H. FILLER, entertained (?) the large and
enthusiastic audience *it h one of his most bril
liant and elaborately Written out, though badly
committed, lectures on— bosh! MR. FILLER'S
platitudes fell forceless upon his hearers, and it
seemed that not even the strong; flavor of the
sweet scented negro, with which his speech was
so delightfully perfumed, could induce his Abo
lition friends to sit still long enough to hear him
cut. Seeing that bis eflorts were thinning the
meeting, he cut short his remarks and retired,
in evident disgust at the dullness of his hearers
in not appreciating his most remarkable and
extraordinary address. Mr.. FILLER in the
course of his speech, undertook to say that un
der the English Kansas Bill lately adopted by
Congress, Kansas could not be admitted into the
Union until 1860, or until a remote period, un
less she would accept the Lecompton Constitu
tion, and, therefore, would be compelled to re
main a Territory fur years to come. Now a
certain Governor Walker, whom Mr. Filler glad-
Jv accepted as authority a short lime ago, denies
this in toio. He (Walker) says that Kansas
w ill have the requisite population to entitle her
to one member of Congress in a very short time j
and, therelore, the people of that Territory
will not have to labor under the disability of
which Mr. Filler complains. We opine, how
ever, that the longer Kansas will be kept out of
the Union, the better Mr. Filler and his party
will like it. It is but a short time ago since we
heard Mr. Filler publicly declare that he and
his party did not desire that the Kansas question
should be settled and that they wanted Kansas
to remain as it is. This we can prove and we
dare Mr. Filler to deny it. His tears over
this matter, therefore, are not genuine. Like
many others of his political fripnds, he is con
siderable of a crocodile about the region of
the eyes.
After Mr. Filler had concluded his speech,
MR. R. D. BARCLAY was called upon, w ho pro
ceeded to rehearse the editorials of the Bedford
Abolition organ on Senator Bigler, and other
Democrats, in which laudable and interesting
performance he employed himself until the
Committee on resolutions returned from their
pow-wow in the jury-room. Of the resolves of
this redoubtable Committee, we shall speak at
length in our next. We can only, at present,
add that a more miserable abortion in the shape of
a political meeting than the one under consid
eration, has never come within, our knowledge.
EARLY VEGETABLES.—MA. JOHN FLEMING,
gardener at Bedford Spi ings, exhibited to us a
few days ago some very fine vegetables which
were raised by him during the present Spring.
Among them was a cucumber nine inches long,
also a bunch of radishes fit for the table and a
lot of very nice lettuce. It this isn't setting the
seasons and the clerk ot the weather at defiance,
we would like to know what is!
—lt is an extraordinary fact,that when peo
ple come to what is commonly called high words
they generally use. low language.
GLORIOUS NEWS!
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY VICTORIOUS!
The Ctuiference Lecompton Bill adopted by
Congress! .
The Bill for tike admission of Kansas,reported
by the Democrats ot the Conference Committee,
lias passed both Houses ot Congress. This is a
gr-at triumph for the Administration ol MR. BU
CHANAN and the Democratic party, as it sustains
the |>osition of the former that the
Constitution is a instrument, and distinct
ly rerornises the great doctrine of the latter, the
principle of Popular Sovereignty. It will re
unite with our party, those Democrats who dif
fered With the President on the Lecompton
question, whilst it will, at the same time, fully
satisfy those who agreed with him. Governor
Walker and his wing of the Anti-Lecompton
Democrats; it is understood, have already given
in their adhesion to the measure. We publish
the Bill in another part of our paper, this week,
so that our readers may see and judge for them
selves, ofits fairness. It will be seen that the
people of Kansas are to have a fair opportunity
to accept, or reject, the Lecompton Constitution.
The Bill passed finally in the House, by a vote
of 113 to 100, and in the Senate, by a vote of
30 to 22.
RUL ROAR MEETING!
Pursuant to public Dotice, a meeting of the
Commissioners of the Bedford Rail Road Com
pany, was held in the Court House, on Monday
evening last. MAJOR VYASHABAUCH was call
ed to the Chair, and JOSEPH W. TATE,
ALEX. FLETCHER and THOMAS H. MURRAY,
Esqrs., were appointed Secretaries.
On motion, the meeting was addressed by
HON. VVM. P. SCHELL, who referred at length
to the advantages to be derived by the citizens
of the county, from the construction of the
Bedford Railroad, and showed clearly that the
project of building the said Railroad, is at pres
ent entirely feasible. Among other important
statements which he made during the course of
his remarks, he announced the fact that the
sum of $75,000 has already been subscribed to
the road by capitalists in the East. After Mr.
Schell had concluded his speech, Francis Jor
dan, Esq., was called for, who responded in an
able effort in favor of the Railroad.
On motion, a Committee of nine was appoint
ed to take subscriptions. The following gentle
men compose the Committee:
E. L. Anderson, Daniel VVashabaugh, J. W.
Tate, John Alsip, VV. P. Schell, O. E. Shannon,
Fr. Jordan, Job Mann, Nicholas Lyons.
The above named Committee were empow
ered to appoint Township Committees, to assist
them in procuring subscriptions. The meeting
then adjourned.
The Committee appointed at the meeting on
Monday evening, to obtain subscriptions to the
Bedford Railroad, met on Tuesday, at the office
of Col. Jos. VV. Tate, and appointed the fol
lowing Township Committees.

POSITION OF GOVERNOR WALKER.
We announced some days ago that Hon. R.
J. Walker was reported to be in favor of Mr.
English's substitute. The following correspon
dence, published in the Union of yesterday,
will show his position. We give it without
cominpnt:
WASHINGTON CITY, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
April 30, 185 S. ,
To the Editor of the Union :
I ask you to publish the enclosed letter of
Governor Walker in justification of my vole and
that of my colleague, Mr. Lawrence, to-day, in
favor of the conference hill. The letter explains
itself. It it is maniv vindication of our rnocfi
ahused judgment. I understand that it meets
with Governor Stanton's approval. I hope so.
;It se.ms so consonant with his views and ex
perience. Ii certainly had its full weight in
j determining mv vote on so vexed a question.
With respect,
SAMUEL S. Cox.
WASHINGTON CITV, April 27, 1858.
DEAR SIRS : Your letter of this date has just
been received, and [ hasten to say, that in rnv
judgment, the conference Kanses hill should he
adopted. 1 expressed this opinion on first read
ing the bill on Saturday last, and niut adhere
to it, although, it the hill had been, as falsely
represented, a submission of the ordinance only,
I should have sternly opposed it. This bill, as
interpreted by me, is in precise conformity with
;my views and course not only in Kansas, but
'since mv retnrn, and, following the path where
i duty and conscience bade me, I must support
it. I must be permitted, however, to do this in
such away as will cast no censure on valued
friends, who honestly oppose this bill, because
their construction of it differs from my own.
Whilst this bill maintains my views as to popu
lar sovereignty, it would, if adopted, save the
Union from imminent peril. If the bill passes,
theodious Lecompton Constitution, born in fraud
and baptized in forgery and perjury, will be de
feated by an overwhelming vote of the people
of Kansas thus demonstrating by practical results
thetruth of my interpretation, that this bill does
in fact submit the constitution to the popular
suffrage, for ratification or rejection, which is
all I have ever required. With such a bill,
and such a decision of that people, under it, no
formidable effort will ever be again made to
withhold from ihepeop/eoi inchoate States a vote
lor or against the ratification or rejection ot their
State constitution, and the oligarchive doctrine
of conventional sovereignty will be abandoned.
I write in great haste, and will, at a tuture
period, imbody my views fully in a letter for
publication, as expressed in our recent conversa
tion. Yours, truly,
R.J. WALKER.
Hon. S. S. Cox and Hon. Wm. Lawrence.
