THE BEDFORD GAZETTE. Bedford) Hnrch 18, 1850. B. | Meyers &6. W. Benford, Editors. "" WILLIAMS* FOR AMALGAMATION . Our member votes against the bill to pre vent the intermarriage of whites and negroes ! Ma. Geo. YV. Williams, the gentleman whom the people of Somerset county last Fall elec ted to represent Bedford county in the Lower House of our State Legislature, gave his Black Republican piinciplesa thorough airing on Friday last, by voting in favor of the in definite postponement of the bill to prevent the intermarriage of whites and blacks. We knew Mr. Williams to be a Black Republican ; we always him as an unsafe man to be sent to confess that we nev\ had any idea that he would dare to perpetrate such an outrage as this, upon the feelings and the .decency of tiie people of Bedford county. Men who thus bring us to shame, should be sent into utter ob-curitv, by the unanimous voice of their and insulted constituents. But such Republicanism, and such the men by whomit is propagated and sustained. Negro voting ! and negroes intermarrying wiihinthA. whites ! political and social amalgamation ! when a party countenances and supports such doc tfilf" as these, is it not high time that white freemen of our country take measures 'to Pi put it down 1 Let the alarm be -sounded 1 Let the people rally around the banner of the party of the white man—the banner of the National Democracy—amPkt them say unto Black Republican far shall thou come, but no farther, andMiere shall thy black waves be stayed !" YVe append the bill which Mr. Williams' vote helped to kill, and also the yeas and nays by which it was defeated : The House resolved itself into committee of the whole, (Mr. ZOLLER in the chair,) on bill No. 151, "An Act preventing the intermari age of the white and black races," as fol lows : tio.m 1. Be it enacted by the Senate aruH House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General * Jssimbly met and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the ! same, That from and afier the passage of this ! act, it shall be unlawful lor any black, man to j marry a white woman,or black, womatv to mar ry a white man. •Sec. 2. That any person or persons who shall marry in this Commonwealth contrary to the first section of this act, and any justice of the peace, alderman, clergyman, minister or other person, who shall join in marriage auy peison contrary to this act, and every person who shall be present at stich marriage, shall be deemed guilty of a r-kdemeanor : and shall noon CDfi viction thereof in any ccJuil of quarter sessions having jurisdiction thereof, be fined, at the dis cretion ot said court any sum not exceeding five hundred dollars: which shall go, one half to the-prosecutor, ana ttle other halt to such couu ty as may have jurisdiction of this case ; and shall imprisoned in the county jail of such i countv any time not exceeding one year. kswMr. MU.LER moved the indefinite postpone- : ment of the bill.

KNOW NOT RING-BLACK REPUBLICAN ISM. Heretofore the Black Republicans have suc ceeded in deluding a small portion of the for eign born citizens of our country into political affiliation with them, by falsely represenfing . that Black Republicanism was independent of j Know Nothingism and altogether free from the taint of that prescriptive nativism lately so rife throughout the Union. But it seems that the cloven foot can no longer be sufficiently concealed by the Black Republican leaders, and that those foreign-born voters who iormeriy cast their suffrages with them, are now con-j vinced of their error, and are determined at ! once to cut loose from a party which instead j of being their friend they find to he their worst i enemy. As an instance ol the feeling among | naturalized citizens, we append (he following j which we find in a neutral exchange; The German citizens ol Boston are highly ' indignant because of the alien, pt to revise the Constitution or .Massachusetts so as to allow naturalized citizens the right of suffrage only after they have been two years naturalized.-r- I Thev, in public meeting, have protested a- i gainst the amendment as an injustice to Ihej German and 311 other foreign-born citizens, as inconsistent with the spirit of tne Coastitution —with justice, liberty and humanity; and sure to result most disastrously to the Americas country if catried. Finally, they say, "as {lie Republican patly countenanced this amend ment, they renounce it, and .-m.-r the Ft --It! as its enemy, inviting all foreign-born ci'izens to unite in an Independent party, to give . their | support to that party only which would recog nize their rights, and not hold their birth a a blemish."

WILLI,tiMS AM) g)l ALkEK VOTE TO INCREASE THE EXPENSES OF THE LEGISLATIVE. The S7CO s?lary quite palatable to the Black Republican "reformers." The Lower House of our State Legislature, ! passed on the 4th inst., an appropriation bill, the fourth section of which reads as follows : "Sec. 4. For the payment of the expenses ol "the Legislature, including the pay and mile "age of the members, clerks and officers "and the amount authorized by law for statione ry, newspapers and lights* the sum of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars When this section was reati, Mr. Hottenstine moved to amend by inserting $123,4-00 and j striking out SIOO,OOO ; also by "adding i that so much of the act passed 2lst April, 185S, : increasing the salary from SSOO to S7OO be and the same is hereby repealed." To this Mr. Hamersly offered the following amendment : That in lieu of the mileage now allowed by law, it shall be the duty of each {member of the Legislature to make a detailed statement under oath of his actual necessary expenses in travelling- from his home to the seat of Govern ment, and file the same TTT fhe office of; the State Treasurer. : whereupon it shall be the'dufv of the said Treasurer to pay such member the amount of said expenses, and a like sum a'the end or-Itie session n* me purpose oi affray ing bis expenses home. That the compensation of nrembers of the Legislature, shall be one dollar Ttnd fifty Cents for every day on which they shall be in actual attendance upon their legisla tive duties, and that the daily pay of the Speak er shall be two dollars. That ail laws or parts of laws inconsistent herewith be and the same are hereby repealed : On Mr. Hamersly's amendment, the yeas and navs stood as follows : Yeas—Messrs. Acker, Ballief, Barlow, Bay ard, Bertolet, Bryson, Buriey, Church, Custer, Evans, Fearon,* Fisher, Fleming, Foster, Glatz, Good, Gray, Gritman, Hamersly, Kinney, Me haffey, Matthews, M'Clure, M'Curdy, Miller, Ramsdell, Rose, Sheppard Stnead.

So the question was determined in the alirma tive. On Mr. Holtenstine's amendment as amended by the adoption of Mr. Hamersly's | proposition, the vote stood : Yeas—Messrs. Acker, Balliet, Barnsley, Barslow, Bertolet, Boyer, (Schuylkill,) Church, I Custer, Evans, Fearon, Fisher, Glatz, Gray, ; Gritman, Hamersly, Jackson, Mehaffey, ' M'Clure, Miller, Neall, Nill, Oaks, Penned, Peirce, Price, Quigley, Ramsdell, Rose, Shep parti, Sm-ad, Smith, (Berks,) YVagenseller, YVALKER, YVitman, Wigton, WILLIAMS, (Bedford,) YVolf and Lawrence, Speaker —39. Nays—Messrs. Abbott, Bayard Bryson, Bur ley, Campbell, Chase, Dismanf, Dodds, Durbo raw, Eckman.

Walborn, j YVarden, Wilcox, YViley, William", (Bucks,) ) Williston, Wilson, Withrow, YVoodring, and Z)l! r—sl. So the question was determined in the nega ! five, and the House refused to repeal the "Extra ' Pav Law" of the last session, j It requires but a small amount of shrewdness, to detect the trickery of which Messrs. Wil liams and YValker, the representatives from this district, along with a large number of their po litical brethren, were guilty in voting upon the proposition lo reduce the salary of members of the Legislature. They had solemnly and I repeatedly pledged themselves to the people, that if they were elected they would do their iTfrtiOSklo have the pay of members reduced, and vet, in defiance of all their promises anJ their pledges, we here find them voting for Hamer sly's amendment, which, as every sensible man in the Legislature must have known, was offered for the express purpose of defeating Mr. i Hottenstine's proposition to reduce the salary to SSOO. Messrs. Williams and Walker well knew that if Hamersly's "snake" was permit ted to coil itself around Hottenstine's amend ■ meut, the latter would be dead enough whenev ier the vole would be taken upon it ; They | well knew that if Hamersly's amendment | would be adopted,|the S7OO salary would not be repealed, and hence their vote as above recor ded. But, they tell us that in voting for Hamersly's amendment, they voted for the $1.50 a day salary. Truly, they did. And what was the consequence of their vote ? Why, the flat refusal of the House to repeal the S7OO salary law, and the continuance of the Extra Pay" to members of the present Legislature. Lest it might be supposed that we are doing injustice to Messrs. Williams and VValker, in thus commenting upon their this * \Extra Pay" we append the opinions iol some of their own polittcal friends concern ing the object and effect of the Hamersly amendment. .. . Mr. HOTTEXSTIN"Ef who offered ffe pro position to- payCof members to $500) said : "My reasons for on Mr. Ham ersly's amendments, were, because I was sin cere in carrying my amendment, AND THAT OF MR. HAMERSLY WAS INTENDED TO DEFEAT MINE, WHICH IT HAS DONE, thereby preventing a dirtct vote on the fixed salary of members." MR. NEACL said : "the proposition to give one dollar and fifty cents per diem, had been started solely for "Buncombe," and with out any other motive. The man who made it, he undertook to say, would not refuse the S7OO per session and mileage." But Messrs. Williams and Walker, pending the "Extra Pay" question, did not only vote as above shown, to effort to reduce the salary of members, but the same disguise in which they gave Hottenstine's amendment its fatal stab, they also strove to increase the expenses of the Legislature. MR. MCCLUBE, one of the members who last year voted for tire extra S2OO, offered an amendment making the pay five dollars per day and mileage. This amendment was lost by a vote of 33 yeas tcj 59 nays. Messrs Williams and Walker voted for it, and we again prove then;, by the voice of their 'own party, to have violated their pledge? to the people. "MR. HAMERSLY desired to explain his vote. The proposition was calculated to in crease the pay of members and therefore he j voted against it." "MR. NEALL thought that the amendment ' was making the SALARY APPROXIMATE NEARER TO SIOOO. He had therefore vo ted for it. "MR. STEVENS said, my reason for voting agSifiSt fhis amen&nent, is because I think it will have a tendency PXjncrease our salarjs^ them. I ain in f'a\\>r of a Rjjedsalary of SSOO j and mileage." "MR. KINNEY voted against the"-3£nend • X i ment because tfie per diem system is an expip" j ded system in Pennsylvania, and would tend j to prolong the sessions and on the whole in- j crease the expenses of the Government-" "Mi. FLEMING voted "no" on Mr. Mc- Clure's amendment, because he sincerely be lieved it would result in increasing the com pensation of members to more than SSOO, the sum which he thought sufficient compensation." "Mil. PINKERTON said he was opposed to the amendment offered by Mr. McClure, as it would increase the expenses of the Legisla ture to the amount of $ 12,525." MR. BOYER believed fully that should the amendment carry, it would greatly increase the expenses of this Common wealth." And yet Messrs. Williams and Waller, those scrupulous economists, voted for this amend ment. Queer, is'nt it ?" t POST MASTER GENERAL. The President has appointed JOSEPH HOLT, of Kentucky, Post Master General, vice Aaron V. Brown, deceased. Mr. Holt was Commissioner of Patents at the time of his appointment, which office he lias filled with signal ability.— He has always been a Democrat, and his eleva tion by the President is every where hailed with great satisfaction by the party. We have no doubt that the mantle of the lamented Brown has fallen upon a worthy successor. BROAD TOP COAL TRADE.

COMMUNICATION. I For the Bedford Gazette. OLit COMMON SCHOOLS. •NO. 11. In (he the first article ou this subject, it is saiil that our state policy, in the'establishir.ir of our common schools, is the same in principle as laws lor the protection ol life antPprop erty. But this is not all; I would by no means slop here ami say nothing more on this point, in the direction of the schools, the policy tises much higher in its motives than thai and be comes more ennobling in its principles. It is (his superior policy and these higher principles that influenced the minds of our past and pres ent legislators and p;evailed also in the breasts of all our great and good men, in reference Jto ■MfftWil liollse | nor is it intended only to place facilities in the hands of our children to be regarded as a means ! subservient to the business engagements of life, i The true idea of the education of our children, ! is not reached if we think of nothing more than •rtjvhat is contained in books and a certain rou ! i, sue of studies, ivhich,uhen gone through with, i to be accomplished, and then laid, aside t^ N^ e as ' nter, * s t may suggest, or con venie uce^ en,aiu ' - ' he spirit of our school sys tem includ% much more than this: it does not simply aim ?P9 uali '> our children for the bu siness etnplovlife, jjbut it also lav a sure loum lor fheri moral good and social enjoyment! B ' COin prehends what ev er may have a influence in developing the mind, by giving uij^£* lc>n '° thought and prop er motives to action. It contemplates not only the growth but the '' ie mind also, and has immediate aiio^J"' os T^ c '' ve happi ness in view as its greatest ' education which secures ttiis to our childnfc l '° t' le grea test number ol our children, orSi® '' le uor 'd, is the best education; and that systAP" l best adapt ed to accomplish this purpose, is tliV best sys tem. It is the desire in our coinmoV schools, to give tho:ough instruction in all thetranches qt an elegantly refined English educal it 0 ' 1 , and, with this, associate that correct moral a.vJ soci al influence, which leads the little chidW in '° the piaths ot duty which gives direction t\ the immortal spirits of youth and teaches then** o aspire to the rewards of virtue, by - well doin*j which imparls to them that knowledge whos® ways are usefulness and honor; which leads! them to make their own individuality subserve! .the interests of the public good and reflect |>ro-l perl)' upon the ties which unite them to friends! and kindred and the world around them. In some places these interests are felt and acknowledged and in others they are not. In Bedfoid, lam happy to say, there are many persons now thinking rightly on this great sub ject. It is too true that our schools here have been of the lowest grade, and our citi zens have not heretofore enjoyed the advanta ges, neither have our childien reaped the bene fits, which our common school system places within their reach. The schools in town have beefi'Tnboring, in some respects, under more se rious disadvantages, than the schools in any of our townships. Besides, the poorest kind ot tearhers that were sometimes employed, and very fculty conducted schools, our children were obliged to go to those unhealthy | whicm were rented for school purposes. P>ut i Bedford is waking up in regard to this inter est. l'be stem necessity oi having, better schools and better school accommodations, is acknowledged by all. But from ihejfirst ma king tip on this subject, difference of- opinion existed, and still fxists to a greater less de gree, as to the best plan to be nu; iU <s 'R the erection ol school houses and in elevating the character of the schools. We ha- e children for six schools, and a less number not suffice. A few of the citizens tveo 1 in favor of having six houses located in different parts of the town. But under such an arrangement very little improvement could be expected. Others thought that three laiger should be built, each with an upper and a lower room, and each house to accommodate two schools. But oljet tions were urged against this plan. It was thought three plots each sufficiently large to accommodate one hundred children with play ground, and suitably located, could not easily be had ;. and that three buildings ol this kind | would cost as much, ifeof more ban one euHi i cently large for all the schools and further that the schools could he better graded and conducted to a belter advantage in one building than three. And then after after considerable debate on the subject, at several public meetings, the voice of the people declared, at the spring election, by a majority ol twenty two for a " Union House" which is now being carried forward by an active and energetic board of Directors ; and it is hoped that the better judgment and superior reason of eveiy man, in (his enlightened and intelligent community, will sustain and encourage them till its final completion ; and that we all shall soon have the pleasure of seeing our children thoroughly educated in our Union School House. SUPERINTENDENT. "lip with the Negro—down with the Irish auti Germans." Under the above head in alluding to the spirit of Massachusetts Black Republicanism the Lawrence Sentinel makes the fallowing pertinent remarks, which are applicable to the so-called Republican party throughout the U nion. It says:—"To read their journals and hear their oralois discoursing of the 'ignorant Irish and Germans,' and lamenting that the light of suffrage was extended to them, and at the same lime arguing in favor of universal suff rage fur the African, an uninformed person would naturally suppose that the latter was the superior race. They can cry lustily for 'equali ty' when the negro is in qmstion, but if an Irishman or German is considered in connec tion with tfiat same 'equably' they find that their philosophy can't reach them, and they are only 'ignorant foreigners,' whom it does'nt suit their purposes to include in the embrace of their philanthropy." DEATH OF HON. A. V- BROWN, [From Hie Erie Observer.] Hon A. V. Brown, Post Master General, died at Washington on Tuesday. Just one week previous he was at the Department at tending to the duties of the station he so ably filled. I'he death of a man so eminent al any time is calculated to piodnce a deep sensation but when, as in this case, it occurs so unexpec tedly, and when too his services are so impor tant to the country, the feeling of sorrow and regret becomes doubly intensified. Jov. Brown has been distinguished by many marks of pub lic confidence—as the Governor of Tennessee, as one of her representatives in Congress for many years, and finally as Post Master General he has made a mark upon the annals of his country that will endure as long as virtue, honesty, and true patriotism are passports to the confidence of the people. Gov. BROWN was born on the 15th ol Au gust, 1795, in the county of Brunswick, Va., and was consequently in the fi-ith year of his age. His father was a clergyman, and served as a soldier in our war of Independence. His early advantages of education were good, which added to a strong mind, and a studious life of reading and observation, made him one of the ripest scholars and polished gentleman it was ever our foitune to become acquainted with. In all the relations ol life Gov. BROWN presented a model that our youth may well take for imitation ; studious in his profession, and i industrious in its practice; faithlul to his party ! hiiinnr 1 -'-' 'T twG'i ukmt toTireatbT. j syllable against his tame. The private charic- i ter of Gov. Brown was irieproachable. Asa: man and a christian, his friends have the hap iness to know that the virtues they admired on earth have not perished, but haue been trans planted to a purer and more genial sphere, where they will flourish immortal. What his principles were may best be learned from his address to the Law Class ol the University, de livered in 1853, describing his ideal law yer : I must be permitted to recommend to you those models from whom the pulpit orators have drawn all their inspiration —the models of the Bihle. Study these—the Prophets—the Apostles—our Saviour's great sermon on the Mount. To say nothing of their moial effect, they will he found to improve, enlatge and ex ait your forensic efforts. But remember after all your stucy under the best models, the great seciet of being eloquent is to feel yourself, deeply and sincerely, what you wish to im press on others. To reach the heart your lan guage must flow from the heart. That must dissolve first, or your language will fall cold and powerless on your hearers. Hence it is tiiat the truly great orator must preserve his moral sensibilities pure and uncontaminated.— He must love truth. He must honor virtue.— lie must hate vice in all its deformities. He must sympathise truly and deeply with the weak and the oppressed. He must loath des potism and tyranny in every iorin and shape in which they have oppressed mankind. In short to be great he must be eloquent, and to be elo quent he must be good. With such elements Lot character, he will speak as an oracle and a prophet. Like a strong man he will pull down I the pillars of predjudice, and his utterance swill be.like a stone hurled from an engine.— \o the sentiments and will of such a man ail hubris are surrendered in profound obedience an',lte>n.age. fTiJE LNAIGI KATION OF JUDGE \ MCAxMILESS. ) [From the Pittsburgh Post, Feb, 23.] [The anniversary ol Washington's birth-day \va.- Vnarked by an occurrence of peculiar in terestiito our citizens.
