JORDAN'S DEFENCE. in our article fconcerning the late Black Re- i publican meeting, we pronounced certain state- j tnents made by Mr. FR. JORDAN in bis speech j belore that meeting, unqualified and deliberate ' falsehoods. To this grave charge Mr. JORDAN makes a defence in last week's issue ol his or gan, which instead of vindicating him from the imputation of falsehood, only brings out more vividly the brand we have placed upon him.— It will be remembered that we distinctly and DOsitively asserted that the allegation of Mr. JORDAN that "the Democratic battle-cry in *856 was 'Buchanan and Free Kansas,'" was UNTRUE. And what is Mr. JORDAN'S reply to this direct accusation of falsehood? Why, simply, "Mere is no use noticing it That is all that Mr. JORDAN can say in answer to this charge. He knows in bis heart of hearts that he basely slandered the Democratic party, ifthen he made the assertion above quoted, and. J—— unci a word in defence of that assertion, when confronted by the party he was attempting to injure. We further charged Mr. JORDAN with a departure from the truth in his statement that the Democrats were respon sible lor the establishment of the present tariff. To this his reply is that 67 Democratic members of Congress and 39 Black Republican members voted for that tariff, whilst 71 Opposition mem bers voted against it. Now what does this |>rove? Nothing more nor less than '.hat we were correct in our charge against Mr. JORDAN. For, the 67 Democratic votes, according to Mr. JORDAN'S own showing, were not suffici ent *.o pass the Tariff bill, as there were 7l votes fast against it. Hence the 39 Black Republi cans had the power to prevent the passage of that bill; but they all voted in favor of it, and, therefore, the responsibility rests with their p*'ly and not with the Democracy. But, says Mr. JORDAN, these Black Republicans "mostly" had "iocofoco antecedents !" We would ask him whether DAVID WILMOT, J' n.v C. FREMONT nd Jottr: M. REAE had not "locofoco antece dents f" And did not Mr. JORDAN endorse these gentlemen, with all hi* heart, notwith standing their "!oco-foco antecedents ?" in regard to the other statements {or rnakinz Which we arraigned Mr. JORDAN as guilty ol falsehood, we are given nothing but a simple re-iteration of those statements without a parti cle of proof to sustain them. The original lie concerning the stationing of the U. S. Troois in Kansas, is varied and beautified, by an ex ceedingly chaste and classical paragraph which reads as follows: "It is well known that these troops only overawed Free State men, and protected the border ruffians, in murdering, plundering and violating Free State men and women, &c., See." The charge that the De mocracy are in favor of resortingto direct taxa tion, dwindles down into (he wiertion that Mr. BOYCE of South Carolina once offered a resolu tion favoring that doctrine, and, with a logic that is perfectly irresistible, the conclusion i reached that as Mr. BOYCE was in favor of di rect taxation, the whole Democratic party of ibe Union must be so likewise' Here, we pre stmiP, Mr. JORDAN paused to review hia article, for he wiriffriip in a towering rage, calling us all sorts of hard names, for which we do not blame him in the least, as it surety is enough to make any man angry to be in a predicament like that io which by hi* own s?t he fcas! placed himself.

BEDFORD AXD DIQUESNE. ft e give in to-day's Gazette an account of the celebration at Pittsburg of the Centennial Anniversary of the occupation ot Fort Du quesne by lien. Forbes, November 251h, 1758. It is, perhaps, unknown to some of our readers, that the army of Forbes, previous to taking up its line of march tor Fort Doquesne, was con centrated at this place which was then known as Fort Bedford. We learn from history that Colonels Boquet and Washington first marched to Bedford, with the ad vance, and were follow ed by General Forbes who had been detained by illness at Carlisle. The successful troops that put to rout the French, without striking t blow, were reviewed where Bedford now stands, a-little over one hundred years ago. •■One hundred years ago to-day Ir. martial state the heroes came To plant within the wilderness Their grand old English r.tne and fame. They saw the glory of !| je i an( t s The realm of nations vet to be, And wrested from the allied foe, The empire of the free. One hundred years have passed and peace In golden fullness o'er us reigns ; Full plenty smiles on all our hills And gladness sings in all our plains. The flag of freemen greets the air Where waved the standard ol our sires, And all our altars now arc bright With Freedom's saeted fires." "SECRET - COR RI 111 ONI AGEN TS." Fit. JORDAN &. Co., in their issue ol last week talk a.* glibly about "secret corruption agents," as though H.

What sweet memories of that convenient SSOO must have been conjured up! What bitter thoughts of H. Bucher Swoope must have rankled in their hearts ! Perhaps, too, Mr. JORDAN may have recollected one CHARLES GIDEONS, Chair man of tilt- Republican State Committee, in 1856", to whom he wrote the following letter concerning the transfer of the Filmore men of this county to Fremont: '•Bedford, Oct. 2, 1556. "CHARLES GIDEONS, Esq., —D. ar Sir : Your favor of the 30th "September, inviting me to Harrisburg on the "Bth inst., to make important political ar range "merit?, is just received.

In one of their resolutions adopted at their meet ing in this place on Tuesday night of Court week, they virtually declare the Kansas ques tion to be settled. They say : "Resolved , That this defeat ol the party in "pow r and their consequent inability to con "ttol a majority in the next House ol Represen j -natives, have put a sumo ary and effectual qui !

Hereafter, if the Black Republicans repeat tluir hypocritic whining about "schemes for forcing" the institution of slavery upon free territories, we will take pleasure in reminding them that they have solemnly declared that a "summary and effectual quietus" has been put ' upon all such "schemes," and that, therefore, ! according to their own showing, there can be no danger of any further extension of slavery.

They forgot another matter in their congratulation-, of which we would re mind them, viz : to "t -nder" their "heaitfelt" thanks to 1 tiaddeus Stevens for bis kind assis trnce in importing voters into the District. "Or-ownmg men catch at straws." ;Mr. Jordan claims that the Black Republi cans have a majority on the popular vote in Illinois. In order to figure up this majority he counts only ihe Douglas vote for the Democra cy and throws the Administration vote aside uncounted. Now the olhcial plurality of the Black Republican candidate for State Treasurer over the Douglas nominee, is 3,573, whilst the vote of the Administration candidate for the same office, is 5,021, showing a Democratic majority in Illinois, of 1,148.

Celebration of tlie Centennial Anniversary of (lie occupation of* Fort Diuitiesue by Cienera! Forbes. Thursday, the 25th tilt., the hundredth anni versary of the day on which fhe British and j American troops under Gen. Lorbes entered and ; took possession ot Fort Duquesne, was made the occasion ola grand celebratiou by the citizens of Pittsburg and vicinity. The Pi'.ts. org True Press says : "The city presented a scene of unprecedented activity and bustle from early morn until evening twilight. The marshaling of the forces occupied several hours and tfie procession did not move until half past •en o'clock. The route was decorated at in- j tenuis wi'h numerous flags, banners and other ''"k iwes ; bells pealed forth a merry chime ; and , ever anon the cannon's roar reverberated through the distant valley?. The entire papula- ! tion, increased by large accessions from the: neighboring counties, concentrated in and near the heart of the city, and the main thorough fares were densely packed with a moving mass of gay, joyous and exultant people. The large manufacturing establishments suspended work, the pi incipal stores were closed and the busy wheels of industry stood still. All classe? enjoy ed a holiday and joined with a will in the general jubilee." At one o'clock the process ion moved to the Doqnesne Dejiot of the Paftn svlvania Railrr-ac. Company, which had been fit t-d up for the occasion, when MAYOR WeaVer introduced the President of the Day, HON. Wm. \\ ILK i*:s, who after a fe\y appropriate r£l ~arks, called upon the venerable Chaplain, Dr.. HEBRON, to invoke the blessing of heaven upon the vast assemblage. Letters were then read from President Buchanan, Governor Packer 1 Simon Cameron, S. A. Douglas and others, after which the Orator of the Day, HON. A. IV.

Mrssis. Editors: We notice in the Gazette 1 an advertisement of the Directors of the Poor ; proposing to let tfie mill and farm to some per : son who shall keep the Paupers. Our Directors are worthy men, and desire no doubt to do their duty luliy, having regard ! to the interests of the lax-javers and the com j fort of the jioor. But is it not probable ttiat any arrangement of the kind proposed, would re i suit in the ill-treatment of the paupers; if not !at first,at any rate after a time ? In our Christian community, and land of plenty, every one, no doubt, f-els tbat the poor should be well housed, and warmly clad, I and have an abundance of jilain, vvhol*WHW<* | A..a jn a great many think our present | establishment is not what it should be, and that j more money is requited to keep the paupers | than is necessary. In truth the property is not intended foi the purpose. Why should a Mill be connect- j jed with it ? It complicates the accounts and ; requires heavy exjienilittires lor repairs; and • the appointment of a miller is a bone of cor.ten ; tion. And th-n the farm is not of the right kind; ■ j there is but little farming land, and the location, I | on the turnpike and near to town, is not a good j one. Why not sell this property, and buy a good i j fafm some four or five miles away from town, : in Friend's Cove, or Snake Springs Valley, or j | Bedford Township ? The proceeds of the sale ' i would no doubt buy such a farm, and pay for : | the necessary buildings. There would then be j j no necessity for miller, clerk, treasurer, or attar- i i uey, since certainly a competent Stewaid could ! keep all the accounts of a farm, and the pan : jiers could do the main part of the farm work; i and no doubt they would better enjoy life thus employed. Such a farm well managed, would be nearly or altogether self-sustaining. This is the case in other counties—it is said to be so in Blair. An act of Assembly might be passed author izing the Court on petition of tax-payers to in quire into this matter, order a sale, and the pur chase of another property. We commend the matter to the attention of Mr. Schell. SEVERAL TAX-PATERS. For the Bedford Gazette. Editors GAZETTE : I am glad !o notice by your last issue that the Directors of the Poor propose to change the manner of managing the Poor House, by rentingj the property and giv ing out the keeping of the poor to some responsi ble citizen. lam gratified at this evidence t he part of the Directors, of the.r desire to allevi ate the taxpayer of his burden, for the renting of the Poor House mil! and farm to a good man who shall (or the rent of the same keep the paupers, would certainly relieve the peojile of this county of a heavy tax. There can but one objection be urged against this pian and that is that the paupers might not be well cared for. And this objection amounts to nothing when we reflect that the renter must give bail for the good treatment of the paupers and that he is liable to immediate removal if he does not fulfil his contract to the letter. And besides this it almost altogether depends upon the humanity of the Steward, be he a salaried appoin tee or a renter such as I am speaking of, wheth er th poor receive good treatment at his hands or not. As to the property (the Mill and Farm) I believe that it will be taken care of jnet as well by a renting Steward, as by a salaried one. But the property at present used for the mainte nance of the Poor is altogether unsuited and cannot be managed without imposing a heavy tax upnn the County. Jt is my belief that it could be sold at a fair price and that for the money which it would bring, a good farm could b>- purchased, the necessary buildings erected II[>OII it and a surpilus be left to pay expendi ture# already incurred. Jn order to accomplish this an act of of the Legislature must be passed giving the Director? authority in the matter, as under the present law they have no power to make a sal*, or 0 purchase another property. j Let this be done and our Poor House will be | a blessing insteid ola burden.

THE OPPOSITION "TRIUMPH" IN 1 BALTIMORE. o:ie of the "v ictoi ies" of which the Opposi- j i tion have boasted so loudly for the last month, j j was the election of their candidate lor May- 1 !or of the City of Baltimore. The following : throws a flood ol light en this grand "triumph." The Baltimore Election. J. Men Voting Pie Fusion Ticket Eighty and One Hundred times at the same Polls. ! L. E. Ballard, one of the judges at '.he late j municipal election in Baltimore, has made a ' published statement of t he facts that came under ; bis observation at that time. He states that i when the polls opened they were surrounded ! !by a crowd of men and boys, who openly a>><-r --! ted that no one should vote who was not for | Swann, the Fusion candidate fur Mayor. Men | whom they suspected ola different intention were driven off. The remainder of this state ment must be given in his own words : "The time for opening the polls arrived, and the voting commenced—and I am compelled to | say I never before witnessed such scenes a! an i election—m°n and boys voting as oiten as they ' pleased, both seen and unseen by tile judges, who took their ballots. 4 -l strenuously protested against such a procee ding, but to no avail. This sort of voting went j on for about half an hour, when there was add- | ed to it another mode, viz : That of voting : iiom hacks and omnibuses—a means by which 1 more gross outrages are perpetrated ou the I five franchise than probably any other that could be ad >pted, for in nearly every case two or three times as many ballots were taken as there were persons in the hacks, and there can i be no doubt ol the illegality of almost the entire i number of those that were in them, to say i nothing of the repetition of voting. This mode ; of voting was carried on to an extent incredulous j to state, while those who wished to vote a lick- j et other than those marked on the back, except ; in a few instances, were not allowed to vote at i all. I raw in more than a dozen of instances I a person come to the fence in front of the wiry- j dow, holding a ticket in each hand, both of which were taken and jut in the box, the per son giving some name, no doubt assumed, as he voted. Men from other wards, known to judges, came up and had no difficulty in voting.' I determined to leave the window and have nothing more to do with the election as judge. "I took a seat in the back part of the rorim, ; and witnessed a continued repetition of voting by the same persons until their faces, which 1 i had never seen before that day, became tis i familiar as the sun. From notes taken then, I ' am sure 1 would not exceed the bounds of truth j were I to say that the same person voted in ihe i Eighteenth Ward, on'.hat day, eighty to oae I hundred times, and certainly as often as Ike ! wished. I know the people pretty well in i%v ward, hav ing lived there for the last eight yeafrs, ; and I am confident not more than one thousand j legal votes were polled th<m, although the re- j turns show nearly thirty-two hundred ; and Ij arn sustained in this by fact 3 collected since the j election, viz : Jn some six blocks which I j canvassed, containing about one hundred and twenty voters, one hundred did not vote, and have no reason to think this other lhan a fair! average in the ward. I left the room about j three o'clock, and did not return—consequent- ' ly, gave what I knew to be a farce and a S'IDSJ j fraud, no sanction by my signature. I rjbw I leave the matter to my friends and the public to j say whether or not 1 stand as one of the perj j red judges, and whether, under the circumstan ces, I d:d right in leaving, &c. L. E. BALLARD, "Judge of Election for 18th Ward. ''Baltimore, October 23J, 1858."

I shall assume the privilege of advancing ' t years in reference to another.growing and dor.- , gerous evil. In the last age, although our ia ; tilers, like ourselves were divided into politi j cal parties which often had severe conflicts with each other, vet we never heard, until | within a recent period, of the employment of ) money to carry elections.
