CANAL COMMISSIONER! westley frost, Of Fondle I'ui/nfy. RESOLUTIONS OF TUB MONCRELS. The political hermaphrodites who compose the opposition to the Democratic party in Bed ford county, adopted some very singular resolu tions at their meeting in the Court House on the 4th inst. Their singularity, however, is easily explained. They condemn the late le gislature for passing the Sunbory and Lr.e Bill and for the adoption of other measures which the Abolition and Know Nothing members vo ted for in a body. Queer as this may seem. thev did it, and that, too, with Samuel J. Cast ner, (who supported by bis vote, the very mea sures which they denounce) as one ol the Com mittee that drafted the resolutions. The rea- : son of this movement is that some of the Abo- ; lit, on wire-workers in this town are desirous; of nipping in the bud, Mr. Castnrr's hopes ot a re-nomination, in order to make w ay tor some ; one of their own clique. By repudiating his course in the Legislature, they hope to eflhct this object. - We are informed that Mr. Cast- NER understands their game and that he is quite indignant at the scurvy Ireatment he has re ceived. Nor are we at all surprised at his dis pleasure, for it is said, and we presume truth fully, that the very men who were instrumen tal in getting up and procuring the passage of the resolutions condemning the Sunbury and Erie Bill, advised Ma. CASTXER to vote for it. One thing is quite certain, and that is, that the opposition to the Democratic pa.ty have, times without number, proclaimed it to be their poli cy to dispose otthe Public Works, declaring that even a gift of them would he entirely jus tifiable. It was owing to their corrupt legis lation that the Main Line was taken from the State and made a present of to the Pennsylva- I nia Rail Road Company. Their whole party j endowed that infamous swindle unreservedly j and unhesitatingly. MK. CASTNEK, doubtless, J therefore, supposed that he was merely follow- | ing the foot-steps of the leaders ol his party, when he voted for the Sunbury and Erie Bill, little thinking that for so doing he would be slaughtered in the house of his friends. Mista ken man 1 He has, no doubt, by tins time learn ed what he should have known long ago, that ; . the Democratic party have no \ ' ; ■ ■ sake of th -p'-.ls. Besides" the repudiation of MR. CASTNER, | there are some other startling assertions made in these resolutions. For instance, they pro claim that "the present financial embarrass ments are the manifest and inevitable prints of sham democracy practically illustrated; that the anti-American doctiine of free trade has prostrated our manufactories," &.C., See. This would all do very well, if the people were blind, and if FREE TRADE WILMOT had not within the last seven months been the standard bearer of the opposition. There is also the usual resolution denouncing the National Ad ministration, which we decline noticing, as a falsehood always furnishes its own refutation. "So much for Buckingham." BEDFORD RAIL ROAD- The public mind is now being directed to this great work. The advantages to be de rived horn its speedy completion is incalculable to all classes, living within the county. The farmer, the mechanic, the merchant, the manu facturer, the laborer, and business men of all kinds will be greatly enhanced by the construc tion of this almost indispensable project.— T! e design of the projectors of this work, is not, that it should be solely a continuation or j extension of the Broad Top Road—that part i lying east of Bedford, will be on a line with the Cumberland valley road, at Chambers burg, through Cowan's gap, and IVell's valley, to connect at or near Piper's Run, in II ipeweli township. The same will he the outlet for the Sherman's valley roaJ. Well's valley, and Piper's run, being the common route of the Sherman's valley, and Cumberland valley roads, west of Sideling Hill nap, and of the Uroacilop road, west of Piper's Run until the connection at or near Bridgeport in the western pari of the county. Books for taking subscriptions have been sent to the different township committees, in the county. The subscriptions are made payable in monthly instalments, after the first day of October next. Let all subscribe. WEALTH OF ILLlNOlS. —According to the re turns of the County Assessors of Illinois to the Slate Auditors, the aggregate value of real and personal property in that Commonwealth (omit ting several counties not yet received) amounts to $108,477,367 —being an increase of $72,- 227,248 over the total of the year 1866, or 22 per cent, difference in two years. As the As sessors' estimatesare always considerably below the real value of the property, the actual in crease of wealth in the Staie during the period specified, is probably near one hundred million. This enormous expansion enables us to appreci ate the rapid progress of Illinois since the com mencement of the railway era, which has built tip a great commercial mart on the lake shore oi the State, and opened to the prairie farmers the markets of the Atlantic seaboard. COINAGE OF TUB MINT IN Aran..—The coin age of the U. S. Mint, in Philadelphie, for the month of April, was $!,006,920 in gold, prin cipally indouble eagles: $364,000 in silver, w holly in half and quarter dollar pieces, and $13,000 in cents. From Washington. [Correspondence ol tl>e Bedford Gazette.] Washington, May 6, 1858. Well, Iho Kansas question has been brought j to a close, and every person breathes freer.— For live long months the country has been kept in constant agitation, and painful suspense, by a I question which should never have occupied the attention of the countiy for a single moment.— i The great doctrine of popular sovereignty is, and should be at once a harrier against all such agitation. Hereafter let every person mind their own business and we will have no more disgraceful Kansas imbroglios. To the high, patriotic stand, early assumed by Mr. Buchanan, are we indebted for the al j mission ol Kansas, as a State, into this Union. Notwithstanding the apostacy of men who held ! hiah positions in the ranks of the Democratic party, and notwithstanding his administration was threatened with political destruction, the President has displayed the utmost coolness and j resolution throughout the fearlul struggle. All the violent assaults of demagogues intimidate!, him not, and the powerful opposition he met : from day to day in the Halls of Congress, onlv j seemed "to nerve the old Chief in his heroic el foit to maintain the right. The three apostates from Pennsylvania, I Messrs. Chapman, Hickman, and Montgomery, ; who united with the Abolitionists in a bold at tempt to destroy the only party organization which can preserve the integrity of our institu tions, are deserving of the scorn and contempt of those who elected thern. Well was it tor the Democracy that Mr. Buchanan met the as saults of these" men wiih the firmness ot a Jack s n. HaJ he not done so, the Democratic par ty to-day would have presented the melan choly spectacle of a noble ship at sea flounder ing about without compass or rudder. It is amusing to read the ravings of the op position. Some of them claim the passaged the English bill as a triumph against Mr. Bu lOUANAX, others the opposite, &c., &c. Poor I Fornev, clinging to the old superstitious notions of Friday being an unlucky day, holds up his hands in holy horror because the bill was passed ; 'on that day, and reasons therefore, that the; measure must be a bad one. Now, in order to ' relieve the nervousness of these superstitious Gentlemen, and all who may have a dread ot that fatal dav, I append the following tacts, which clearly show that the great events to which we owe our greatness, a- a nation, actu i aliv occurred on "black t riday." ; On Friday, August 21, 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed on his great voyage ot ctiscov- y. On Friday, October 12,14-92, he first discov- . ered land. On Friday, January 4,1493, he sailed on his return to Spain, which, it he had not reached , in safety, the happy result would have never I been known which led to the settlement ot this | continent. , , . J On Friday, March lf>, 1493, he arrived in Halos in safety. On Friday, November 22, 1493, he arrived at Hispaniola, in his second voyage to America. On Friday, June 13, 1494, he, though un known to himself, discovered the continent ol America. „ . T< ():, Friday, MarJi lj3, Henry i. ot Ln- Ul.icfi led to '.be 6s, Melendez founded St. Augustine, the oldest town in the United States by more than lorty years. On Friday, November 10, 1620, the .May Flower, with the Pilgrims, made a harbor ol Provincetown. And so on the same day they signed that august compact, the forerunner ol our present glorious constitution. On Fridav, December 22, 1620, the Pilgrims made their final landing at Plymouth Rock. Oa Friday, February 22, George Washing ton, the father of American Freedom, was born. On Friday, June 15, Bunker Hill was seized and fortified. On Friday, October 7, 1777, the surrender oi Saratogo was made, which had such power and influence in inducing France to declare for our cause. Ori Friday, October 19, 1781, the surrender at Yorktown, the crowning glory of the Ameri can arms occurred. On Friday, July 7, 1776, the motion in Con gress was made bv John Adams, seconded by Richard Henry Lee, that the United States Colonies were and of right ought to be free and independent. ——- On Friday, September 12, 178J, the treason ot Arnold was laiJ bare, v\ hich saved us from destruction. Last though not Last. On Fiidav, April 30, 185,8, the treason of Stephen Arnold Douglas and his associate conspirators was laid bare, and j the democratic party —and thereby the country , —saved by the tiiumphant passage of an act making Kansas one of the sovereign States of this glorious Union. So after all Friday t* net so "black" a day, especially to America. Now thai Kansas is dead, affairs will go a long swiminglv. Congress has already gone to work in earnest, to legislate for the best in terests of the country, and I have no doubt will be ready to adjourn by the 7lh of June. Col. Otir. has proved himself one of the ablest Speakers we have ever had. His fine appear ance, and ready and happy manner of enfor cing the rules, commands the admiration and respect of all who visit '.he House. The coun try have higher honors in reserve for him. Your member, Hon. WILSON RHILLY, has faithfully carried out the wishes of the Democ racy of his District, by voting for the admission of Kansas, and I am gratified to learn that he has lost none of his firmer popularity at home. Let all true Patriots rally fo his support, and ! thus exhibit their devotion to the constitution I administered in its purity. His re-election, ad mits of no doubt, of course. After a two or three days rain, we now have delightful weather, and every thing presents a cheerful aspect. That awful sound of "Kan sas! Kansas!! Kansas!' !" has passed away, and all rejoice in the fact, except the tenders of Abolitionism, who feel that their doom is sealed, i . The little knot of professing Democrats who ! voted to the last against the Conference Bill, said they were prompted in their course bv a | desire to secure the next Congress to the Lie i mocruci/, and the election of a Democratic Pre sident in 1860. The Abolitionists, I suppose, aided them so ardently for the same reason.' The "opposition" occasionally become very much interested for the welfare of the Democ racy, but they are a little too clever to be con sidered honest in their intentions, hence their advice is always pruriently repudiated, B. news Items.

THE COMPROMISE Box.—The compromise of Mr Erelish is as plain a proposition as could hive been made, Divest it of all superfluous wrbiage, and the simple meaning is : We (Con fess) accept your Constitution, but n->t your (jriimance, in" relation to the public lands, an ipxeu to it. That we do not feel at liberty to Jnerul without your consent, and we there! ire offer an amendment, in the shape ola co.mpac., vjhich we call upon you to ralily. h yoa do si, you are at once a Slate: it you do not, we sash our hands of you, and w ill have nothing fpther to do with you until >ou have the re wVai r * rne 1 apjfoi tl * of the census of 1850. Why intelligent members of Congress should have gsked further time f. r deliberation on s > plain a proposition, which any school-boy ol twelve years of age can understand, i- pasmg strange indeed! It they ar- ready so null of 'comprehension, they are not fit for the, Stations j they occupy, but if they di I understand it, and j yet from factious motives attempted to delay the decision, then tliey are dishonest and unprin cipled, and ar- unworthy to be representatives l of the people.

The Hall Expedition J ST LOUIS May B —Major General Persifer F. 1 Smith has issued elaborate orders relative to the !! movements of the trains and troops of the I Tali forces. The trains are to be divided into divisions of 226 wagons each. The troops are to be organised into columns, each column constituting an escort division. The general supply train is to be escorted by the first column, under the command ol Lieut. I Col. Andrews. This column is already organi sed, and has been ordered to march. The spcond column, under the command ol I [Col. Monroe, will be composed of ati escoit and the first division of supplies. The column w ill !march from Leavenworth on the loth insi. ' The third column, under Col. May, will 1 march on the 20th. | The fourth column, under Col. Morris in, will march on the 25th. The fifth column, under Col. Sumner, will march on the 30th. The sixth column, under Major Emory, will 'march on the Ith of June. These columns will, for the present, consti- ! tote the first brigade of the Utah forces, under the command of General Harney. Each column i will be supplied with lour months' provisions, which w ill be replenished in passing forts Kear ; nev and La'amie.

THE VOLUNTEERS FOR UTAH.—The President has not yet signified his acceptance of the two volunteer regiments for Utah, nor is it probable that he will do so until Congress makes the ne cessary appropriation for their support.

LIFTING HOUSES IN CHICAGO.—One of the chief curiosities at work in Chicago now is Hie rai-ing of entire brick blocks to a level with the new street grades. Innumerable small screws are used. The row of buildings is disjointed from its connections; stout joist- - , sustained by powerful screws, are placed in each doorway, and everv possible precaution taken to ensure perfect safety. The labor progresses with great rapidity when once fairly under way, and it is really a remai kable sight to witness an immense brick block, with all its customary occupants, 1 goods, Jcc., rising steadily into the air, while a i sense of entire security prevades every one who dwells, or does business there. Ihe success which has so signally crowned the experiments j there will tend much to improve the city's ap pearance, and tine buildings which are now squatting dumbily down seven feet below the j street can be elevated to a becoming level with j groat case. GR.ASSHOPPERS )\ TEXAS.—A gentleman who has just returned from a journey through Gon zales, Caldwell, Hays, Comal, Guadalupe, Bexar, Karnes, and DeWitt counties, informs us that generally throughout these counties the grasshoppers have destroyed the entire growing crops of corn, wheat, cotton, and all garden vegetables, >o that there is scarcely a green thing left. On the Cibolo, the grasshoppers were so numerous a week ago that our inlormant could not put his foot lo the ground without (reading on them. The planters, though greatly disheartened, | are in hopes that these destructive insects may j leave early in May, in which case they think | they may make tolerable crops of cotton and ! corn, as the prospects otherwise were never 1 belter. These insects eat everything clean as they go. Our informant says he saw wheat fields on ; the outside ot which the wheat was cut down as clean as it could have been done by a cradle, ' and every stalk eat up, while the balance of the field had not been touched at ail. They not onlv eat the corn that is above the ground, but eat everything under ground to the roots. They are now commencing to fly, aud this is looked upon as a favorable omen. As yet the grasshoppers have not made their appearance higher up than Austin, nor farther to the east, nor are they yet spen in or b?low Victoria. But within this range tile destiuction has already been very great. We understand these destructive little animals are also devouring the leaves and the bark of fruit trees, such as the peach and the pear; but whether they will do them any serious injury remains to be tested.

THE Liver Invigorafoi*. irci-areo by rt. sandfgrd, COMPOUNDED ENTIRELY FROM GUMS, /< one of (he Lr.U purgative and liver mtdicintt now before the pubr.c, thai acts as a Callturtic, easier, milder, and mo-e effectual than any other medicine known. It is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver re medy, acting first on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then on the stomach and bowels tocairy oil that matter, thus accomplishing two purposes effect ually, without any of tne painful leelings experi : enced in the operations of most Cathartics, it strengthens the system at the same time that it j purges it; and w hen taken daily ill moderate do-es, j wilt strenthen and build it up with unusual rapid:- ty. The Livkr is one ot tbe principal tegulaiors of the human body; and when j, >t performs its functions well, the powers of the sys- & tern are fully developed. The stomach is almost en- w tirely dependent on the healthy action of the Liv- — er for the proper per formance of its functions; " when the stomach isat lault, the bowels are at "fault, and tbe whole system suffers in consequ- Jenre of one organ—the Liver —having ceased to do j(its duty. For the dis eases of that organ, oneof lßl the proprietors has made it his study, in a prac- ■ tice of more than twen ty years, to find some re- medy wherewith to counteract the many de- " langements to w inch it is liable. ra To prove 'hat I his remedy is a! last found, any person troubled with Liver many ol its forms, has but to try a hot- V tie, and conviction is certain. ,C These Gums remove mot bid or bad matter from the system, supply- ing in their place a healthy flow of bile, in- -g_ vjgorating the stomach, cau-ing food to digest well,purifying the blood, giving tone and health to~tbe whole machinery, removing the cause of the . disease—effecting a ra dical cure. Billions attacks are cur-.®ed, and what is better, prevented, by the occu-sional use of the Liver lnvigorator. S One dose after eating is „ suficienf to relieve the stomach and prevent the "food from rising and souring. *■ Only one dose taken at night, loosens the bowels gently, and cures Costiveness.
