THE RESI LT IN THE STATE.
Our readers arp, doubtless, already aware
that the Democracy of Pennsylvania sustained ;
a defeat at the late election and that the mon
grel Opposition )ecte| their S'sie Ticket ami
a majority oftlmir candidates lor Congress, State
Senate ar.d Assembly. For three successive
years the Democratic organization had been
triumphant at our State electrons and its vic tory
of last year was one of the n >*t splendid a
chievernents that adorn the long and brilliant ;
record of Democratic triumphs, To add vie-;
tory unto victory and to perpetuate the Dem.n- j
cratic policy in our legislative ar.d governmental l
affairs, it was but necessary that the Democracy
should remain true to their principles and that .
the men whom they elected to oflice should
faithfully represent them and stand by the party.
The great body of the crgan'zition felt this to (
be a vital necessity and, ttieretore, stood firm and ;
unwavering around the Democratic banner.—
No matter how furious the onset of the enemy
—no matter whether fanatics sin ieked, or tiai-
tors rebelled —the masses of the Democratic
party, were found rallying around the good old ;
flag which it las ever been and ever shall be
their delight and their glory to preserve un
sullied. But what of the leaders 1 t h-e ambitious
spirits whose insatiate maws whole treasuries
could r.ot surfeit ? the Forneys, the Webbs, and
the Nebingers, w "no must either rule, or ruin?
Like so many infatuated Don Quixotes, we find
them running a tiit with a Democratic President
i |
a Democratic Congress, and with the great bulk
of the Democratic party ! They revile the very
men whom they once fain would have us be-j
licve were infallible ! They strike at the very
party which they have assisted in building tip
and with the praises of which they filled tie
rars of the people ! They join hands with the ■
bitterest and mo3t uncompromising iocs of every ■
Democratic principle, and exert all their powers
to elect candidates who represent doctrines
utterly at war with those they profess to cher
ish ! And we are told by these men that their j
infidelity to the Democratic organization ami
their combination with our political adversaries,
were all intended to "save" the party ! A
pret'y salvation they have made of it, surely. j
As the smoke of the battle disappears, we *
look over the field and find tiiat JOHN AJ. REAE, j
an . Ibolitionist , is elected Supreme Judge, |
YVit.ti AM E. FR*ZEK, Abolition-Know Nothing, j
Canal Commissioner, and that about twenty
of the twenty-five Congressmen are opponents;
of the Democratic party. This issuing 1 ' the j
Democracy with a vengeance. j*YVe look again 1
and we see MR. NEP.JNC.ER, Hie Anli Leeomp- j
ton candidate in the First District, beaten j
several thousand votes. see M CV o j
nother Anti Lecompton Democratic candidate, 1
in the Schuylkill district, in a minority of sever- I
al thousand. VY'e see HENR) D. FOSTER, of
the Westmoreland Distiict,a very popular man,
who also ran as an Anti Lecomplon candidate, |
defeated by from 1200 to IbOO. Ir fact we
find but two Anti Lecompton Democrats elec
ted to Congress and those two in dis'ricts where
the Opposition despaired of electing men of
their own party. YV" see also that REILLY, -
FISHER, JONES and other regular Democratic
nominees are beaten by but trifling majorities.
Has not Anti Lecomptonism. therefore, injured
rather than benefited the Democratic candidates
, that professed it ? _
In connection with this subject, we cannot i
refrain from referring to our own county, which 1
in the general wreck looms up erect and tin- <
scathed, a Democratic county, showing the same
unbroken front it has always presented. /nr
February last, the Democracy of Old Bedford, ]
in Mass Aleeting assembled, resolved to stand j
by the National Administration, and proclaimed j
their determination to cling to the regular Dem
ocratic organization. And what is the
YVbii st the Democracy of sister counties that i
wavered on the subject of Kansas, havesutlered '
a disastrous defeat, we have won a victory of j
which we may well be proud. And so would 1
it have been in every Democratic county in the '
Stale, had the party stood firmly and unflin
chingly by Hie President of its choice. There- j
fore, let the result of this campaign be a war- j
mngtoall Democrats who may hereafter be !
foolish enough to suppose that their principle? :
will be established, or maintained, by opjiosing 1
a Democratic A dmrnfst ration ami the regular ;
nominees of the party. Let it bach us that we
gain nothing, but lose alt, by arraying ourselves !
against the masses of the party and insisting j
that our v ill, as a minoiitv, should be done, in '
preference to that of the majority, whose is the j
unquestionable prerogative to say what shall,'
or shall net, be the principles and policies of
our organization.
vCfln our late campaigning perambulations,
we had considerable experience in the way of
lodging at country taverns. Among the vefy
best that we remember, is that kepi ny our obli
ging friend, CAPT. JAS. S. BCCKWITII, of Hope
well. Considering that the Captain is no
Democrat, he keeps an excellent house.
In this connection we cannot refrain from
mentioning the "Broad Top House,'* a t Stoners
town, as a very commodious and well kept es
tablishment.
As tor good eating, commend 119 to the fable
of our Iri-nd Micti.m. VVVAVT, of I'nion tp.
Besi ies keeping a good I O'ase, Mike is a clever
fellow and "sound on the great issues."
iTF*"Alleghany Synod," ot the P.v. Lu
theran Church, was in session here during the
past week. The attendance of delegate, we
understand, was full.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
*V> have elsewhere expressed the rpinion
O.V il (lie 1). rvmi i die paitr of Pennsylvania
bad unanimously endorsed the Kansas policy of
the Administration, instead of dividing upon
that issue, li.e result ol the late election would
have been far different fiom that winch weaie
compel! d to lecord. This is not an after
thought of ours, as our columns far the last nine
months will abundanOy prove. In all our edi
totials on the Lecompton question our prime
object was the preservation of the unity of the
party for it was our settled conviction that op
position to the Administration would tend to
'.he utter and mi nous dismemberment of our
organization. On thi point we also cite
the letter ol den. Bowman published in the
daze!!? some lime previous to the late election,
in which it was emphatically ass i led that should
VViiliain A. Porter be defeated, he could attrib
ute his want of success to no other cause than
his neglecting to place himself on the Demo
cratic platform.
This refusil to give the Piesident of our
choice a unanimous endorsement, w as the lead
ing cacsi of our defeat; but al the same lime
the trickery and frauds of the opposition had
not a little to do with it. The form r operated
to keep Democrats at home on election day,
uiiiist the latter brought out an increased op
position vote. In Philadelphia, fur instance,
a large Democratic vote was unpolled, whilst,
on the other hand, the Black Republican au
thorities threw open the alms-houses and hun
dred;, of paupers were made to vote the Oppo
sition ticket. In the iron districts, the furnace-
imager? either humbugged, 01 forced, their em
ployees into opposition to the Democracy. In
our own Congressional district, yea even in our
j own county, men WPIP compelled against their
! own convictions, to vote for Mcpherson. In
i '
j some of the northern townships, railroad hands
! and furnace employers, were threatened with
an immediate discharge it they dared to vote
for Iteilly. At Coalmont, in Huntingdon coun
! ty, dozens of men were marched up to the polls
j. protesting that they were voting contrary to
their cherished sentiments, but said thev, "what
' will we do? we must vote as these Republican (')
! iron masters bid u, or we lose our places and
i our children must beg for bread!" And this
U the way our opponents have conquered.—
These great sticklers for "freedom in Kansas,"
tlvse ardent Black Republican loveisofliberty,
trample the rights of the free laborer in the
dust, put a political yoke upon the necks of
freemen, and then claim that the people have
rebuked the National Administration!
BEDFORD COUNTY.
- The result of the late campaign in otir own
county is most gratifying, especially as our un
scrupulous adversaries made every effort in
their power to carry it against us. Notwith
standing the unwearied exertions of the mon
grel leaders, their auU Insidious
falsehoods, and their compulsion of railroad and
furnace operatives to vote their ticket, we have
carried the county, I y a larger majority than
that obtained by our party in October 1856.
j Our triumph will appear still more splendid,
I when it is borne in mind that about 400 Demo
crats stayed 3t home on election day. Had
| our entire vote turned out, we might as easily
have given 600 majority as we did 200.
Last year the aggregate vote of the county
for Canal Commissioner was 431 C : this year
it is only 3830, a loss of 477 votes. The com
bined Black Republican and Ilazlehurst vote of
I last year, for Canal Commissioner, was 1971 :
j this year the whole Opposition vote for the same
j office, is 1831, showing Ifiat the mongrels lack
|cd but 140 of polling their entire strength in
the county. Subtract (he 140 from the 177
votes absent from the polls and we have 337
Democratic absnt j e, who, had they voted,
would have swelled our majority to upwards of
500. This shows a large Democratic gain in the
county over the \cteof one year ago.
Our friends did noblv in all parts of (he
kmunty, where fair [day was shown them.—
Tor their gallant exertions in behalf of the great
cause of Democracy we cannot award them too
much pra's \ The Democracy of Schellsburg,
Juniata, St. Clair, Middle Wood berry and other i
districts where we have made gains, deserve the
thanks of ali who are interested in the success
and perpetuation of Democratic principles. In
Schellsburg borough our vote is increased , over
that of last year and our majoiity is 5 more
than that for Packer. In Juniata we poll 173 !
votes; last year Packer had 168. In St. Clair I
the majority for Rr.sn, Abolitionist, is but 14 ;
last year Packer was in a minority of 30. In
this township, our candidate for Commissioner,
Mr. Berkley, has 2 majority. In Middle
Wood berry onr majority on the State Ticket is
: last yi'ar Tacker was beaten 5. But in
C. umber land \ alley, Southampton and Bedford
townships alone, one and fifty Demo
crats did not go to the polls. In the remaining
districts, our friends also succeeded remarkably
well in staying at home, as in Monroe and
South Wood berry, in each of which some 35
Democrats did not turnout.
I his shows that Be 'I >ni county i Democrat
ic by 500 minority, at bast, and it the' Democ
racy are true to themselves when ru-xt election
day comes around, the returns will prove our
argument to be corect.
BALTIMORE
The "Plug Cglies" and "Blood Tubs" of
this thrice disgrac> d c ity held their u>ual satur
nalia on election day. The present Know
Nothing Mayor was re-elected, of course. The
Baltimore Know Nothings have reduced terror
ism at the polls, to a science, and only need a
little instruction from the Black Republican
manager* of Pennsylvania furnaces and alms
house's, to make them oerfect in the art of for
cibly defeating the will of the people.
HON'. WILSON REILLY.
It is with sincere regret that we are cjn
pe I led Jo chronical hr defeat of I his genllemin,
the Democratic nominee for Congress, in iliis
disliict. The majority lor his opponent is com
paratively small, and the Opposition have 10-
thing to brag of when it is remembered that I ley
were wont to sweep the district by fhousards.
Their majority, however, is a fraudulent ne
and could never have been obtained throigh
lair means. Had evpry freeman in the dist'ict
voted as he desired, and haJ not Abolition vtes
been manufactured to order, Wilson Redly
would this day be elected a member of the
Thirty-Sixth Congress. It is a notorious act
that Thaddeus Stevens imported a large mm
h-r ol men into Franklin county, a few weeks
before the election, under pretence of employ
ing them at his iron works in that county, out
with the real design of making them vote foi Ihe
-iiineiant" Mi. McPherson. To a victory a
ciiieved bv such means, our opponents are hearti
ly welcome. We are only sorry that so able a
man and so round a Democrat was thus stricken
down.

Messrs. Editors :
1 he sermon delivered oe
fore the "Young Men's Christian Association,"
of tiiis place, by the Rev. VV . L. Spotswood, on
Sabbath evening, the 10th inst., was one of the
most able and eloquent efforts that f have ev r
heard from the pulpit. Mr. Si nils wood's
oratory is of the most impressive and effective
kind. His manner is earnest, In? language chaste
and concise, his gestures appropriate, and every
illustration he makes of his argument, is fraught
with force as well as beauty. Such at least is
the impression which the sermon above referred
to has given me ol his character as a speaker,
i beg leave thus to refer to Mr. Spottswood's
sermon, not only because it deserves praise, but
because I have seen no notice of it in any of
the Bedford papers, and therefore hope you
will indulge me with space sufficient in the
"Gazette" to jr nt these f. w words from

A HICH-HANDEI) ATTEMPT AT THAI l). I
The Rlark R-publicans, it seems, are not
fi.atisli.-t) with tarrying electiotisd'y forcing men ;
to vote again ! their own .sentiments anti by
dragging paupers to lite polls, as limy did at the
late election but even attempt to delraud j
successful Democratic candidates, by endeavor- j
ing to prevent their being granted the election
certificates to which, thev are entitled. The
following from the Philadelphia Lvlqer, an '
independent sheet, will acquaint our readers j
with some of their attempts at th's sort of bit si- !
ness :
"AN ATTFMI'T TO DEFEAT 1111- PEOPLE'S :
WILL-—The return judges of the'elecfion are r- !
quired bv law tormct the first Friday after the j
general election, and count the votes received j
by the respective candidates. Their duties are
entirely ministerial, and their powers extend '
no further than casting up the rotes, ascertain
ing who among the candidates voted for lias the j
largest number of votes, and giving him the
certificate of election. The law S3VS expressly
that the judges shall not omit or reject any part
; of the returns,' except when, in the opinion of:
j the judges, the certificate of return 'may be so
defective as to prevent the. same from being j
understood and computed in adding the number
of votes and even in this case they are to at- ,
tach a correct copy ot the paper, and transmit
it, with the returns, to the proper office. Not- j
withstanding the clearness of the law upon j
this point, an attempt was made yesterday, in |
the Board of Return Judges, to throw out the
returns of some of the precincts of the Fourth
Ward, on accour t of alleged fraudulent voting.
The object of this, it was well understood, was j
to defeat the election of Colonel Florence, or. j
j by giving the certiorate to his opponent, to
| compel him to appear in the nexl Congress as a
I contestant for the sea?. Phis attempt, which,
it is rumored, was planned by some desperate!
politicians the evening before, failed of its pur- j
pose, for when the Court was appealed to, it j
d cid.-d that the return judges had i o power to
go behind the returns, and that charges of ft a'.id i
were f>r the Criminal Court to investigate.—
I'liongii baffled by the intervention of the Cou.t n
tiiis scheme, the attempt was not the less dishon
est and reprehensible. While professing to he
shocked by the illegalities alleged to have been
pursued in the Fourth Ward, the parties whose
moral sensibilities were* roused in defence of i
the law and of honest elections, openly attempt
to violate the one and disregard tfie other, bv
usurping a power that does not belong to them, !
and endeavoring to defeat a candidate who, !
according to the returns before them, had the
largest number of vol.s. Wherein does an at
tempt to defraud the people out of their election
in this manner differ in culpability from th<-
polling of illegal votes ? Morally an.l legally
there is not the least differ- nee between ballot- :
box stuffing at an election, and the illegal
throwing out of votes after it. The purpose ol ;
both acts is to defeat the fair espr - ion of the
popular will. None but the n,o,t desperate '
and unscrupulous partisans would rcsoit to such
illegal measures togain a temporary advantage. ■
If the allegations are true respecting the con- i
duct of the election officers in the Fourth Ward, J
the parties aggrieved know where their remedy
lies. Thev can have the eb-ction officers ■
.iinunnnxit into Couit. and on prod of wilful
Iraud have them-punished by fine ana imprison
ment, or fined fur misdemeanor in oiiiee. Tim
allegations also, when sustained by proof, will
oe proper facts to lay b.-fore Congress, who alone
are the judges of the returns and the qualifica
tions of their own members."
TUB Ovum, AND CALIFORNIA MAIL. — The first
[ overland mail from California, under tin* great
'contract with Butterfi.ld & C>., reached S'..
| Louis at 9 o'clock last Saturday night, in twen
j ly-three days and lour hours fiom San Francis
t co. The stages brought th;oogh,six passe"gers.
I We have news by this anival, from California,
| Oregon, etc., ten days later than previously re
| teived by the Panama route. There Lnothing
i encouraging from Frazer river, but good gold
diggings, it is now confirmed, exist at Wenatche,
Washington territory, where a fight has taken
j place with the Indians.
According to the tern s of the contract the
overland mail must make its trips regularly
within twentv-five days, and the contractors
have commenced operations most auspiciously,
agreeably disappointing ail who feared || ;t . thing
to be an impractical) lity. The mail line fiom
San Antonio, Texa, to San Diego, California,
I is carried on, inside of twenty-three days-, with
| remarkable regularity. H'e, Iheiefore, do not
doubt that the great mail line now begun will
be able to d) as well. A. the mai!s v of cour.se,
follow the faste-t route, it only needs regulari
ty fi>r the Panama line to lie superseded, ard
the entire Pacific mail service to be carried ori
over our own territories. To insure the safety
j of these mails, guards and posts must be always
jat hand, and with such advantages 'lie travel
. will go by these stages, insteid of (lie ocean
i steamers. These are not merely possibilities,
| out probability s, and as it is lo t!i-> interest of
I the contractors to hasten the event; th-v will
| leave nothing undone to ! hat end.

j The Sirge of Canton— Hostility of the
Chinese,
Severe in [he extreme (says the China .1 hi/)
are the measures of extermination adopted by
the Braves of Canton, not only in plans of as
sassination against us, but in persecution to
which all Chinese are subject who continue to
have intercourse with us. Death is not only to
he inflicted on the pat ties themselves, but pun- S
i&hmerit is lo extend to their relations, their j
neighbors, their property, their village, and!
their descendants for ever. This i publicly and '
officially proclaimed throughout the surround
ing districts, and in the suburbs of Canton it
self. Bright us the prospects look in the north,
they are dark arid lowering here. If the pre
sent state of things is not speed!y changed, vve
shall find ourselves at vvar,not with China, not
with the government of Kwang-tang, but with
I the various leaders and the rabble of ilie w bole
! province, with a numerous disorganized, law
less population, without head, without govern
ment. If Kwang and his coadjutors do not
speedly adopt a peaceful policy, it will soon be
out ol their power, if it is not so already, to quell
that system of waifare which they have crea
ted, or to control those lawless bands of rutlians
which it is so easy to create, but so difficult to
get rid of. The province uf Kwang tang is
making rapid stride* toward* aslalc of anarffiy 1
which none hut Kwang atn) his iolleagoes, ;
