REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC PRINTING. Weax oCTTTganoosns to 'WEN. BOWMAN, Superintendent of the Public Printing at Wash ington, lor a copy of his interesting and able R'-porf. The press teems with just laudations of Geo. Bowman's official course, and his Re port is admitted on all sides to be one of the most important to the Government th'-t for a long time has emanated from any of the Depart ments. The economical plan upon which he has conducted the affairs of iiis bureau, and the still greater reduction in its expenditures which he has shown can be made by Congress, afford ample proof that the present Superintendent is an honest, capable, and patriotic officer. We learn from the Report, among other things, that $75,000 1 ave been saved to the Government, by Congress striking the colored pictures from the Patent Office Reports; that at least fifty per cent, has been saved, over former prices, on all the engraving, and lithographic printing, exe cuted for the last session of Congress, and con tracted for by the present Superintendent; that SIO,OOO have been saved on two contracts for white piinting paper; and that about SIO,OOO can be saved annually, by striking from the cx/ra numbers of the message and documents the tables of statistics and other portions which are of little or no interest to the general reader. Truly, General Bowman has done a good year's work, and we hope that Congress w ill speedily take such action as w ill enable him to finish successfully what he has begun so admirably. FAIR PLAY. In the lat week's Abolition organ, there ap peared an article headed "Bedford Railroad," in which the assertion IS made that MAJOR WA&HABAOGU has done more for the said Rail road than any other man. Now, we do rot wish to abateonejot or tittle of the praise due to the Major for the interest he has manifested in our Railroad; but we do protest, in the name of all that is fair and honorable, against this at tempt to make capital for one man at the ex pense of others. This is not a time to make invidious comparisons between the different friends of the road. All should labor together cordially for its success, and every cause of mis understanding among those who are engaged in pushing forward the enterprise, should be studiously avoided. Were we to discuss the merits ot the (juestion whether any one man connected wuh our railroad project, deserves more credit than another, truth add justice would compel us to say that a certain WILLIAM P. SCUELL is that man. He it was who first breathed tiie into the scheme; who obtained the charter for the road; who secured the subscrip tion of $75,000 (more than al! Bedfoid county has vet raisaJ;) who called the first public meet- ing to urge the importance of the project, and who made the first public speech in its favor.— Cut tve believe such a discussion to be altogeth er uncalled for, and, therefore, for the shall no! engage in it, hoping that others will have sense enough to reliain from it also. was celebrated by our citizens in their usual quiet manner. The stores and shops were closed, according to previous an nouncement, on which account but few peo ple from the country came to town.

On the other hand, we noticed a number of industrious gentleman ! usy laying out 'worm-fence" all over town, and in the evening there were strong indications of a fight in front of Mr. Blymire's store.

The determined purpose of Ihe opposition to. beat down the National Administration, ri<ht : or wrong, is shown by the comments of their press upon the President's Message. During the late political campaign in this State, the I'urijff was used as a lever to lift opposition candidates into power. The hard, times were attributed to a want of sullicient protection to the manufactures of the country, and more particularly those branches of industry in which Pennsylvania is most deeply interested. It was charged that Mr. BUCHANAN was neglectful of the welfare of his native State, and the only way to bring about a revival of our drooping industrial pursuits, was to elect Congressmen who were hostile to his administration. We denied the alleged indifference of Mr. BUCHAN AN to the interests of Pennsylvania, and med that the Tariff would as certainly be revi sed if "Mr. MCPUERSON were sent to China as if he were sent to Congress." We said Mr. REILI.Y would vote for a bill increasing the Tariff and Mr. BUCHANAN would sign if, and already we are in possession of proof of the disposition of both these gentlemen to do precisely what we said they would do. Mr. BUCHANAN has re commended an increase of the Tariff arid .Mr. REILLY lias voted for a resolution instructing the Committee of Ways and Means to report a hill raising the duly on Icon, Coal and Wool, in the production of vv hich such a large share of Penn.-y Ivania capital is invested. Tile great difference the oppo.-iiion press | pretend lo see between tile views of Ma. I BICHANAN and of Mr. Cone, is not very percepti* | uk* lo unassisted eyes. The magnifying power !of strong political ifcaHce i required to bring [ out this great diiTeience. The truth is, the dilftr -1 ence between the Piesident and the Secretary iof the Treasury is unimportant. 1311 1 suppose these high public functionaries were as widea part as t!:e poles—how would (fiat affect the /her if of the President's recommendations ? Is a Chief Magistrate less deserving of praise be cause be recommends an increase of the Tariff and a change from ad valorem (o specific da ties in certain casp?, contrary to the views of one or of all his Cabintt offict rs, provided Pie alteration Le l ight in itself, than if he did so with the full concurrence of his constitutional advisers ? II the opposition were sincere ia their professed wish to enhance puhlic'prospenty by raising the tariff— if they held the public good and net their own political success in view —they would loudly applaud the President for recommending the adoption of measures they profess to believe necessary to the revival of trade and manufactures; and they would ap plaud him all.tlie more loudly, if he made his recommendations in direct contrariety to the views of the financial otiicers ol his administra tion. The fact that they do not give the President credit tor what lie has done, but content them- selves with the wretched employment of hun ting out and magnifj'ing a difference of opinion between him tn 1 one of his Secretaries, proves conclusively that they would rather the "languishing industry of the country" should continue to languish, than that our Democratic President should have the credit of contributing to its revival. A political organization that evinces no higher regard than this for the pub ic good, ougiit to be kicked out of existence by a patriotic people. The protligate leaders of the oppo.-iiion do not want the Tariff raised during Mr. BUCIIANV AN'S administration. They want the revenue to fall short, in older to give odor to their false charge of extravagance; and' Lhev --*•*** , j" - JZ rrrarTney may have some available capital for the next Presidential election. They would rather see the wheels ol government stopped aud every poor man in the country starved to death, than lose the po litical capital they could make out of deficient revenue and continued depression ofbuisness.— But they will iniss their mark. Their Repte senlatives in Congress, however glad they might be to embarrass the administration and to damage the Democratic party by retarding the returning prosperity of the country, dare -not refuse to sustain the President's Tariff proposi tion when it come s before them for their ac tion. The success of MA. DEWART'S resolution in dicates that Congress u til adopt the President's Tariff policy. MR. REILLY and other Demo crats front Pennsylvania who were overthrown by extra votes piled up at Iron Works, will by their action iu Congress, restore the curtailed revenue to its former standard arid afford to the depressed industry of the country the inciden tal asistance it is supposed to stand in need 01. MR. MCPHERSON and his worthy compeers in political humbuggery can then suck their thumbs through the Congress of which thev have become numbers by means ol fraudulent representations to the people, and at the close of their term, retire with the consciousness that they each have six thousand dollars in their pockets for which they have rendered no equi valent to tire public.— Valley Spirit. ANOTHER. NEW COUNTERFEIT ON THE STATE BANK OF Onto.— A new and rather dangerous counterfeit was shown U3 Ivy a Third street ban ker yesterday morning, and having aeenseveral of thesame kind since, we concluded that the}' are numerous iu our midst. They are on the State Bank of Ohio—will rogues never weary of ma king counterfeits on this institution?—of the denomination of two, and, though the engraving looks badly to a practical eye, the bill will, no doubt, pass with retail dealers who are not cau tioned against it; indeed, as it is a small note, very convenient in making change, we think it will prove decidedly dangerous, especially to persons not familiar with bank notes. The sha ding about the word "Two," running diagonally across the lower part ol the bill, is heavier than in. the genuine, and the head of Webster, at the left end, is badly done. However, as the spu rious "Two" is nearly an eighth of an inch shorter than the genuine, measurement with a good bill will enable one to determine the coun terfeit.— Cincinnati Enquirer, Dec. 25. WHERE IS HE T Can any one tell what has become of a cer tain JOHN C. FREMONT, late Republican candi date for the Presidency ? The Journals that were so particular to chronicle his every move ment, to bring out the strong points in his his tory, and to magnify him into a hero of colios sal proportions, have forgotten that such a man exists. Is it possible they allow him to pass from place to place without simple mention of the fact ? Have the studied eulogists of the Rocky Mountain hero so soon forgotten their lesson?*® Where are admirers who re-nominated FREMONT for President in J860? Have they concluded that : Presidential candidates may flourish and may fade, A breath can mak fl them, us a breath has made I 1 sterling Democratic newspaper, I the Philadelphia Pennsyloanian , in a lite article headed, "MN. BUCHANAN IN PE.VNSYI.VA • N'IA," thus refers to Hie late mass meeting of the Democracy of this county : On the 15th uit., the invincible Democrats ol Bedford county assembled for the purpose of congratulating each other on the splendid tri umph achieved in that county at the late elec tion, over the combined forces of the reckless and unscrupulous Opposition. The meeting was very large, an d full of enthusiasm and good feeling. Among the resolutions adopted was the following, which speaks plainly the sentiments of the Deinociacy of Bedford coun ty : "Resolved, That we reiterate our adherence to the principles embodied in the Cincinnati : Platform, and again acknowledge our full and : unshaken confidence in the'integrilyjand practi cat statesmanship of President Buchanan and his Cabinet." This is the manner in which the Democracy of the President's native State speak of his ; Administration, and the estimation in which j they hold the man who has thus far held fhe helm of the Nation with a steady hand and ! unfaltering purpose. Against the Tariff. Thousands of Democratic votes were cast against the Democratic party in ttiis State, at ! tiie October election,on the Tariffquestion, un der the belief that an increase of duties would be j Certain to follow the change. Whether such ! will be the result, tune will determine. The | Indications are that our erring friends will find | themselves mistaken, and that they are depend j ing upon a "broken reed." The New York Evenin-r Post, one of the leading Republican journals of the country", is out very strongly against any increase of the Tariff. It talks quite flippantly of the persist ent effoits of the Iron ma-ters to secure protec tion of their interests, without regard to "the immense mischief to agriculture and to indus tries of every kind which dear iron inflicts." The Post says : —"Give protection to a given thing, and the evil iuqiosfs itselfas a necessity upon all interests which have to use it." Fur ther "A false prospei ity is created ; the in dustries of the ci'ies and towns are stimulated to excess j tiie agricultural interests are neg lected, then laid prostrate, and finally begins." And still further :—"Protection must necessarily break down all the industries of a nation more or less effectually, and to the ex tent of its application to the interests standinc at the very threshold of commerce." Such is the view taken of protection by one of the most influential Republican journals" in the North. The same views are entertained and promulga ted by several ol the leading journals ol the same pirty in the West. The Republicans of Pennsylvania, fogettier with those Demociats who joined with them at the last election, may judge from these outgiv ings of the Post , wtiat amount of support their protective policy will receive from their breth ren iu the North and East. The Iron-rnasters can also estimate the value to themselves of the late Republican victories in the North, to which many of thern contributed so greatly. The people would not believe it though it was repeatedly brought to their recollection, that the Republicans of the Congress which ex pired on the day that Mr. Buchanan was inau guialed President, had reduced .lie Democratic tariff of 1856, it was true, hovrever; and it the neonle til n.ll -- r.—— rroTi to trie pioceedings ot Congress hereafter, ttiey will see that the Republicans of the East and the West are no more fiiendly to protec tion than the Democracy of the South. President Buchanan recommends the levying of specific duties on iron, raw sugar, and foreign wines and spirits, so as to increase the revenue, and at the same lime affmd incidental protec tion lo our iron interest. We shall see, slier a while, how lar the wise recommendation of the President will be sustained by those who have been crying ont so lustily for protection. (Er°The correspondent oI the New York Sun, Dec. '2lst, thus states the itse anil progress thus fir of the English difficulty. The statement shows the conduct ot both parties to have been very discreditable, and that of Montgomery to have been the more paltry part. The idea of intimating to Mr. English that he (.Montgomery, a man weighing over two hundred pounds) wanted a fair chance to knock him (English) down, is puerile and contemptible iu the ex treme : Now for a few facts, which will enable the distant reader to understrnd the aflair. Last winter, English and Montgomery, up to a cer tain date, were very intimate on Lecotnplon matters. They voted together against the ori ginal Kansas bill as it came from the Senate.— English frequented Montgomery's roam where the genuine Anti-Lecompton Democrats met to make plans. After English caved in, upon the compromise, he boasted in a speech in front of tile White House, that his purpose, from the first, in associating with the Douglas Democrats, had been to wntch them. Montgomery looked upon this statement as an acknowledgement that he was a spy, and from that day to this has refused to speak with his old frieud. The gen tlemen sit near each other in the House, but have not interchanged civilities this winter.— English, doubtless, resented this conduct, con strued it into an insult, and meant to punish the offender. How far he succeeded, each man will judge for himself. Judging from present appearances, I should not be surprised if there be further difficulties. Montgomery entered a complaint before the authorities, but left word that if Mr. English would give him a lair chance to knock him down lie would withdr aw the complaint. Direct From Kansas. The editor of the Chicago IlcrnU /, was called on by A. C. Davis, Esq., U. S. District Attor ney for Kansas, on the 2d inst. He represents the state ot things in that Territory as much improved, and constantly improving. The Democracy of the Territory are perfecting their organization, and are harmonious. With the exception of the lawless outrages of the notori ous Montgomery, peace and order prevail, and the people, heart'ly tired of the outside influ ences which have so long operated to their disadvantage, are determined to manage their own affairs in their own way. Poor Kansas has been the victim'of misplaced confidence. The Aid Societies and their coadjutors, as well as border ruffians and broken-winded political hacks, have done her much mischief. But, now that no more capital can be made out of hei sufferings, the people will be left free to pursue a course wnich cannot fail to render them happy and prosperous. Mr. Davis is on a flying visit to his friends iu the State of New York, and will soon return to his post. GEN. CEO. VV. BOWMAN. We are indebted to ( Jen.

Gentlemen—The close attention which our own affairs have required since the lire, has hitherto pre vented us from writing to you about the Safe. On the occasion of the fire 19th July, by which we suffered a large I oss, our store, with a number of other buildings, was consumed. The Safe, of your manu facture, which we bad in the store, was exposed to a most intense heat, as is well attested by the effects on its strong iron frame, wl ich, from its flaked and scaly appearance, looks as though it had been heat ed for a long time in a furnace. The Safe, with heaps of mo'ten glass and kegs of nails, fmtJ into a mai~, fell into the cellar, surrounded by burning ma terials, and there was suffered to remain, (as the contents had been removed before the Hie reached us.) until the 2.1 of August, 11 days afterwards. The difficulty in cutting it open with the best tools that could be procured, convinced us• of its power to resist the attempts of burglars, and when it was opened, we found the interior, to the astonish ment of all, entirely uninjured by fire. This test has so fully convince 1 us of the capabili ties of your Safes, that we would not part with tha one we have in use tor a large sum, were we debar, red the privilege of getting another. Respectfully yonrs, R. 11. W ARDLAVV & SON. FARREL, HERRING &,CO., ISO Walnut Street.
