A full attendance is desired, as business of importance will belaid belore the Committee. JACOB REED, Chairman. "HARD TIMES" AND THE TARIFF. The mongrel opponents of the Democratic party are in an ugly dilemma, just now. They are very anxious to make the Tariff their prin cipal hobby during the approaching campaign, but ate a little aftaid to do soon account of their infidelity to the tariff men, when they had the sway in Congress to 18.Y7. They are desirous of laying the "hard times" which we have re cently had, to the charjeofa low tariff and yet they are fearful if they do it, the Democrats will retort upon them that it was by their own act that the low tariff of which they would complain, was established. Their recent sup port of MR. WU.MOT, who according to the Whig presses in 184-0, was the on!}' "free trade tory in all Pennsylvania," also looms tip in evi dence against their pretensions to high-tarifl-ism, and their nomination tor Supreme Judge, of JOHN M. REAP, who signed a letter congratu lating MR. DALLAS on his giving his casting vote in favor ol the reduction of the tariff of JBl2, is a further battier to their progress on the hobby-horse of "Protection." With all those overwhelming facts arrayed against them, they date not openly advocate their L , 'u tariff doctrines, and therefore, in order to avoid ex posure by the Democratic press, they secretly send out their minions to talk "tariff" to the laboring classes and covertly distribute docu ments filled with falsehoods concerning the principles and aims of the Democratic party. — In this manner they seek to escape front the di lemma in which their inconsistent and vacil lating policy has placed them. They clandes tinely charge thai Democratic measures have been the cause of lite prostration of money matters, and when asked what measures, they look shyly about them and whisper, "/Ae reduc tion of the tariff!" They dare scarcely speak it above their breath, for fear that some intelligent Democrat might overhear and expose the insid ious falsehood. Bui, was the reduction of the Tariff tiie cause of 1 lie late distress in monetary affairs ? Had it any tiling whatever to do with it? We say emphatically, no! It was the rotten and cor rupt system of hanking, sustained and perpetu ated by opposition legislation, connected with an ungovernable penchant for speculation on the part of our people, that lay at the bottom of the panic which last Fall shook the world of business to its centre. Do we not all know that there was no intimation of the storm un til I lie Banks began to break? Do we not all remember that there was not a cioud in the fi nancial sky, until the Ohio Trust Company went by the board and the exhalations of its rottenness daikencd the hitherto unclouded horizon? Ay, there was not a whimper about "hard times," until the Banks and their kin dred corporations shut their doors in the faces at their creditors. All was prosperity until the pel institutions of Know Nothing and Aboli tion Legislatures, began to explode, and then dismay and despair reigned alone where erst while manufactures, trade, and all the arts of industry flcurished and prospered. And what had the Tariff to do with all this? Simply nothing at all. But, for the sake of ar gument, suppose it had; suppose that the reduc tion of the tariff by Congress in the winter of ISo /, di D. CAAtrcKM., a leading Blaik Republican, from Ohio. In fact, as everv body knows, who is acquainted with the history of this reduction of the tariff, it was a lilack Republican measure and was 1 >bbied through Congress by Black Republican wire pullers arid corruption agents. Therefore, if the Black Republican argument that a I nv tanfl fvasbeenthes.ilecau.se of the "hard times," holds good, that party must he held responsible, try virtue of t J • - ir own declaration, fir all the distress and calamity that have resulted from the lale financial d sister. A BOLD CANARD. Ilowman, in his tetter in the last Gazette, depre cates the starting of a "Young Men's Christian As sociation" in Bedford, and intimates rt.at it will do no good. F.very body knows that these Associa tions have done immense good all over the country. I.orofoeoi sre, m n party i. t oppose,! tn every thins that will tir/pantv the cans' of Christianity an t tr'h. Christians, see this doctrine in the last "Gazette."— lieilfnrrt Abolition Org in. We quote the above choice specimen of Ab olition lying, to show to what miserable trick ery the opponents of the Democratic party must resort, in order to keep up the prejudice so long enterfained by the mass of their parly, against the Democracy. It is entirely un necessary to sav any thing in refutation of the silly falsehood, as it is too base a coun terfeit not to be detected, even by an inexperien ced eye: for everybody knows that many of the most active and zealous Christians every where, including the very men who are stri ving to give vitality to the "Young Men's Christian Association," in Bedford, are Demo crats. But, inasmuch as this unwarranted and uncalled tor attack has been made upon our par ty, we deem it our duty to hurl the charge in the teeth of those who make it, at the same time calling upon ail honest men to witness the shame and disgrace of the demagogues who do not blush to publish Ihrir own intamy, in thus writing and circulating an article which they knew to be g slanderous falsehood from '-"ginning to end, WHICH IS THE ANTI-CHRISTIAN PARTY I The Abolition organ charges the Democratic party with opposition to Christianity, but fails to adduce any proof of its allegation. We are more libei al. We only charge the Abolitionists with fostering infidel associations in their ranks and this we are prepared to prove. For in stance, at the Convention of Radical Reformers, an Abolition society, lately held in the Aboli tion State of Vermont, the following blasphe mous and anti-Christian resolutions were a dopted : Resolved, That Slavery is a wrong which no power in the Universe can make right: there fore any law. constitution, court orgovernment, any church, priesthood, creed or Bible, any Chrtst or any God, that by silence or otherwise, authorizes man to enslave man, merits the scorn and contempt of mankind. Resolved, That nothing is true or right, and nothing is false or wrong, because it is sanction ed or condemned by the Bible; therefore the Bi ble is powerless to prove any doctrine to be true, or any practice to be right, and it should never be - quoted for that purpose. How pious these Abolitionists are, to by ur>-! "Nothing is true, orjtgfag nothing is false, or Wrong, becg llS n j{ [ s vajjetioned or condemn ed by the Bible !" WvKjhf it not be well fur men belonging to an orffitpization whose mem bers, in their public (HSUntions, adopt such infamous doctiine as this, first to pull the beam out of their own party's eye, before they at tempt to extract the mote from that of Un it brother ? ABOLITION "ROOKBACKS." I he Abolitionists are becoming desperate and 3re attempting to} aim offal! kinds of falsehoods upon the public. We understand that (hey are busy in trying to make working-men believe that they willstaive if the Democrats are suc cessful at the coming election. Democrats, be ware of these bold falsifiers ! Follow them and nail their base coin to the counter ! Work ing-men, remember that it was the breaking of the Banks, last Fall, which threw you out of emploi'ment and tiie Opposition to the Democra cy have always been notorious for their reck less legislation in favor oi banking institutions. MORE DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES J- The elections in Kentucky, Arkansas and North Carolina, have all resulted in glorious triumphs for the Democracy. The Democratic majority in Kentucky will be from 10,000 to 12,000! Mr. Buchanan had about 0,500. In Arkansas the Opposition seem to have almost entirely abandoned their organization. North Carolina also gives a large majority for the Democrats. Where is Anti-Lecomptonism ? DEPARTURE OF THE PRESIDENT. On FiiJay morning last, the President and party consisting of Sir IV. G. Ouseley, lady and daughter, Miss Lane, Miss Plight and .Ro bert M. Magraw, left Bedford Springs for Washington City. They were escorted by Messrs. Daughertv, Major Watson, Spang and Meyers, of Bedford, Col. O C. Hartley, of Texas, and Mr. Cowan of Pittsburg. The trip was a very pleasant one and the whole party seemed to enjoy it. The Piesident took his departure, greatly pleased with his visit and in the enjoyment of excellent health. May he live often to return to our midst. HENRY S. MAGRAW, E-Q., STATE TREASURER. —Our able and efficient State Treasurer, Mr. Magraw, u ith his family, lias been staying at the springs for several weeks past. In the opinion of c any, Bedford Spring* would not be Bedford SpD.igs without "Harry Magraw." THE ATI,ANTIC TELEGRAPH SI C ( ESSEI L! The Queen cf England's Message received!!

The Queen's mes sage to the j'i indent of Ihe I nited States, which was the first to pass over the line, has hern re ceived at Washington and the President's reply has also been transmitted. The following is the Q> DESPATCH. "To the Honorable, the President of the I'.

Ifei Majesty is convin ced that the President will join with her in fer vently Imping that the Electric Cable which now connects (Jreat Britain with the United Slates, will prove an additional link between the nations whose friendship is founded upon their common interest and reciprocal esteem.

''The President cordially reciprocates the con gratulation of Her Majesty, (he Queen, on the success o( the great international enterprise ac complished by the science, skill and indomita ble energy of the two countries. It is a tri umph more glorious, because more useful, than was ever won by conqueror on the field of hat tie. May the Atlantic Telegraph Company, i under the blessing of heaven, prove to be a bond iof perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred nations and an instrument destined by ! Divine Providence to diffuse religion, civiliza -1 tion, liberty and law throughout the world. In this view will not all the nations of Christen dom spontaneously unite in the declaration that it shall he forever neutral 5 and that its commu nications shall he held sacred in the places of their destination in the midst of hostilities. JAMES BCCMANAN." HON. WM.

Judge Porter will probably remain here till Saturday next. The Opposition Candidate for Supreme Judge. John M. Read, the Opposition) candidate for Supreme Judge, is now sixt v-five years of age. land consequently, if efected, will be eighty years old when the term expires. Some thirt\ 1 or forty years ago, he was sent to the Legisla ! lure bv the old Federal party from Philadelphia. He was a warm admirer of John C. Calhoun | and his free trade doctrines, and acted will the Democratic party for a few years, until the | tariff question was settled under Mr. Polk's I Administration, which Mr. Read defended.— He was appointed Attorney General by Gov. : Shunk, but resigned in a few weeks to avoid I removal for improper political conduct. After thsf poxifirl h tvnrnvd op in politics^ joined with the Abolitionists, and declared j hostility to everything Democratic.

Gid Berks Sound to slip Corf. jiif following resolutions were adopted b\ the Democracy of glorious "Old Berks" in their County meeting on the 3d nit : 1. Resolve!, That the DernocraJs of Berks county have unabated and undiminished confi dence in James Buchanan.. A statesman ol enlarged experience—a patriot of unsullied purity—the exponent ol' true Democracy, we will yield him in future as in the past, cordial, active and efficient suppoit. 2. Resolved, That every measure ol his ad ministration has been based on sound con stitutional and Democratic piinciples. In Utah suppressing rebellion and treason—upon the ocean vindicating the integrity and glorv ot our flag—protecting our weaker neighbors from the attacks of seditious malcontents from within our borders—ami lastly, but chiefly, the settle ment of the Kansas question upon the just principles of popuiar sovereignty, saoject, however, to the constitution and laws. These are acts which add true glory and renown to us as a nation, and endear the administiation ol James Buchanan to every law-loving, law abiding and patriotic citizen. 3. Resolved, That in his cabinet, the Presi dent ol the United Stales I.as the advice and counsel of true statesmen, devoted to the best interests of the several departments committed to their charge, and that, as Pennsylvania Demo crats, we point with pride to Jeremiah S. Black, the Attorney-General, as oue in all respects tin. equal of the great lawyers who hav. been his predecessors. 5. Resolve'd, That the thanks of the Demo cracy are due to those Democrats in the last ses sion ot Congress who grappled with and settled the Kansas question under the just terms and conditions of the English bill, which should he received and acquiesced in by every true Demo crat as a final settlement of the slavery question in the Halls of Congress and elsewhere. The remaining resolutions endorse Clancy Jones, Gov. Packer and his Cabinet, the Demociatic Slate ticket, and a revenue tariff. WHO OWNS Cmcaco?—An intelligent cor respondent of the Cleveland Review, writ in-' from Chicago, says : , ISf'S. To //re Editors of the Herald ; A letter published in your paper of the 7th instant, dated at Saratoga Springs, slates among the arrivals at that place, "josi.ih Randall, one of the Pennsylvania old-line whig suppoiters ol Mr. Buchanan, who would have preferred to go to China." This is one of those flippant remarks in use, or rather abuse, in wlikh some of the correspon dents of the press are in the habit of indulging themselves, without any knowledge ol the mat ter of which they write. The innuendo that I desired the mission to China, or any other mis sion, has not even the semblance of truth. In the cornmuni'v in which I live, such a statement would !>•' laughed at for its absnr.li'y : but I have trirnds at a distance \> ho have j;ol the same means of know tug the truth. A short time after the election of Mr. Buchan an, in accordance with an invitation linn Hut gentleman, 1 visited him at Wheatland. I nad a full interchange of opinions with him on the subjects connected with los coming administra tion, in the course ofwhieh I staled that neither desired, nor would accept of any appointment under him ; and from that position 1 have never yet moved. It is well known that tor some years past I have had, and still have, judiciary interests uoder my care which would prevent nay acceptance of any office, either abroad or at home. The measures of Mr. Buchanan's administra tion have received my most cordial support. — In the recent d iplornafic discussion with Ureal Britain he has exhibited himself as a dignified and conservative statesman, and shown that a great nation can be conciliatory without forfeit ing its self-respect, and he has placed his country beiore the world in an attitude that challenges either criticism or rebuke. I aho approve of (he course ol Mr. Buchanan in relation to the Lecornpton constitution of Kansas, with the single qualification that I never would have accepted of any compromise or modification of the principles laid down by lain in his message to Congress on that subj ct. But he has stood by the rights ot the South steadfastly defended thein throughout the nolo contest. It is time our n<",tli!oii friends should know that no other administration of the gov- B *om< nt Yf iii preserve our Union. So iong as Mr. Buchanan shall preserve ibis attitude I will adhere to him, and no longer.— 1 have no favor to ask of him . rnv motives are entirely impersonal, and I am governed by the desire alone to perpetuate the peace and prosperity ol our common country. JOSIAII RAM)ALL. W li il is lite Mailer r A Republican meeting was h-Id at H'ciis!,li ra', Tioga county, on the 21st ul!., which was addressed by Wilmot, Crow and Williston.— These speakers, who are all alii tried with the most malignant form of necrophobia, of course discoursed the error s of slavery ar.d declaimed against the monstrous aggressions of the odious "slave aristocracy." They are all masters oi that species of card, which still passes current in that benighted region. At the closeof (he exer cises, a resolution was offered endorsing the L nion State ticket, and after an unavailing attempt to stifle its considerations on the around that the meeting was purely local, ihe resolu tion was put to vote, and met \\ it it a prompt and emphatic negative 1 . What is the matter with the straight-out Republicans ? Aie they disgusted with the milk-and-water resolutions passed by the mongrel convention because they do not smack strongly enough of the African, or outraged at an alliance with the detestable "Americans?" Wilmot, who thought this meeting of sufficient impor'ance to deseit Ihe bench in order that it might he graced with his pres"nce, must certainly have the most fraternal and affectionate recollection of the straig-onght Americans. Is this Reason ?

Now AND I llEN —Alost ol our read-us w ill I recollect the celebrated KANE letter of Pi. sident 1 oik on th-* taiill how it was abused, and villified, and its author denounced by the "opposition 'in Pennsylvania. Well, the other day, in looking over the resolutions of the re cent "opposition" Convention which met in Harrisburg ami put in nomination that eminent U J/ee-l ruder, John AI. Read, we were forcible impressed with the idea that the language of the one relating to a tariff was not new—that we had read it somewhere before,—and the more we pondered the more we were convinced that it was in the Kane letter. The following is the resolution : Resolved, 1 hat the revenue necessary for a judicious and economical administration ol the government should he raised bv the imposition of duties upon foreign imports, and in layim* them, such discriminating protection should be given as will secure the rights of free labor and American industry. Now read the following extract from the Kane letter : "I am in favor of a tariff for revenue, such an one as will yield a sufficient amount to the Treasury to defray the expenses ol the Govern ment economically administered. In adjusting flu* details of a revenue tariff I have heretofore mnctiaued such moderate discriminating duties ss would produce the amount of revenue nee fed, and at the same time afibrd reasonable incidental protection to our home industry." June IG, IS 14. The "opposition" as they delight to call them selves now, used to delight in styling the Democratic party as "free traders," bid we Uink it will puzzle them a little to point out tie difference between their Harrisburg resolu tcn and litis extract from what they were wont tccall "Polk's free trade letter." Indeed, the two are as nigh alike as two twin brothers.— Erie Observer. The Telegraph news at Bedford. Anti S.
