doise the libel contained in that article, we
shall be happy to give such endorser ail oppor

he prefer it, to make them good in a more sum
mary and less ppaceable manner. As for the
halt-witted manikin who wrote the article re
ferred to, we give notice, once for all, that we
would no more think of resenting any intended
insult coming from that source, than we would
of kicking out of our way a live skunk, a pile of
street-filth, or any other object whose unsavoii
ness might offend our nostril. We can but
pity the poor fool who imagines that he can
either injure, or annoy us, by publishing the
stale slanders contained in the article referred

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.

The Message and Die Opposition.
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.

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,
