Rally ! Democrats, p„Hj : JACOB REED, Chairman Dem. Co. Com. A FEW WORDS ABOUT ORGANIZATION. Every Democrat must feel the necessity of compact and complete organization, in order to ensure the success of the Democratic ticket at the coming election. The lines must be drawn closely and every tent in the Democrat ic host must be sentineled watchfully and in cessantly. We must be a solid, impregnable phalanx, steadily marching to battle, and think ing of nought but victory and the discomfiture of the enemy. In the last campaign our time was frittered away in intestine warfare over the Lecompton question, whilst our opponents improved every moment by 3 quiet, but genera! and thorough organization of their forces. Besides, thousands of Democrats remained at home on election day, because they supposed that the Democra cy of Pennsylvania would, as usual, be sucess fut by an overwhelming majority. The result was that we were defeated. Shall this lesson be forgotteo now that we are about to enter into another contest with our toe? Shall we stand idle and listless when vigilance and activi ty alone can give us success * Democrats! Pennsylvania is to be redeemed. The biack banner of Abolitionism, waves over the '-Old Keystone" in mockery of ail your past triumphs. Will you not pluck it down f Shall it not be replaced with the "Stars and Stripes" of De mocracy, the banner of the Anion and the Con stitution ? Ay, it shall be done ! But to ac complish it, we must organize. Every man must go to his post and labor tor the cause.— There are democratic votes enough in Penn sylvania this hour, to elect our State ticket by fifteen thousand majority. But these votes are of no account, unless they are polled . Bed ford county could have given at least 300 mere ola majority last Fall than she did, if i every Democrat had gone to the polls. Other counties also could have polled many more longing to, it is worth working for. If our principles are correct, as we all firmly believe they are, .t is our duty to labor tor their tri umph. Therefore, we say, organize! orga nize! Let every township and borough have ita vigilance committee and let that committee work steadily and steadfastly for the good of the party. LETTING OF THE BEDFORD RAILROAD. It will be seen by reference to an advertise ment in to-day's Gazette , that the Bedford Rail road Company propose to let the graduation and masonry of their road between the town 3 of Hopewell and Bloody Run, on the 25th day of May next. The reason that the portion of the road between Bloody Run and this place will not then be let, is the unwillingness of the land-holders along that part of the route to give the Company tLe right of way. The damages demanded by these people amount to more than all the stock subscribed in Bedford county. It it almost certain that so long as the right of way cannot be obtained for a reasona ble consideration, there will be no railroad mad* between Bedford and Bloody Run. The part of the road which is to be let, will be made altogether by foreign subscriptions. Bedford county will not be called upon to contribute a dollar to the makiog of the twelve miles be tween Hopewell and Bloody Run. The sub scriptions obtained by the President, Mr. ScHfXL, from capitalists outside of the county, will alone be relied upon for that purpose—— As for the remainder of the road, we still hope to see it made before many years shaTT have elapsed. Certainly the publie spirit of the people between this place and Bloody Run, will not always be so weak as to deny the Company the right of way. The "sober, sec ond thought'' will, doubtless, yet make them the friends of the road. So mote it he. t ATLANTIC MONTHLY.—The May number of this, our favorite among the Magazines, is on our table.

K. We copy an article from the Somerset Demo crat, from which it will be seen that that paper j condemns in strong terms the action of the re cent Convention of would-be disorganize™.— j The Democrat was one of the few Democratic J papers in the State, which favored the call for j that Convention. Our friend, Mitchell, has ; righted himself, and we are heartily glad that ' he has lone His heart is always right with ; the Democracy, and we can only wonder that he trusted Forney, Knox &. Co., as far as he j did. The Democrat talks as follows: As our readers are already aware, a mass Convention of the Democracy of this State was to have been held at Harrisburg on the 13th instant. It was held, and was permanently organized by the selection of Alexander Mc- Kinney. of Westmoreland county, as its Presi dent, assisted by a number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. The resolutions are not such, j taking them as a whole, as will commend them selves to the noble-hearted Democracy of this State. They are factious and disorganizing, opposed to conciliation and harmony, opposed to healing the unfortunate breach that already exists, and should be frowned down by every true and loyal member of the party. We had hoped and were half-persuaded, that the call for this Conventiou was made for a very dif ferent purpose—that it was issued with the view to bind up the wounds of the party, and to heal all divisions. But in that hope we have been disappointed, and in that half-way l belief we have been utterly deceived. Instead | of acting as true friends of the party, they have ; done what they could, and ail they could, to ! widen the breach which so unhappily existed, j They have repudiated the regularly nominated Democratic Stale Ticket—they have resolved i to nominate another ticket, and by so doing I thev have resolved, deliberately and with malice j prepense-, to aid the Abolitionists in defeating the Democratic party of the State—and as such j we repudiate its action, and cleanse ourselves of ; anv sympathy we may have had in the move | me'nt." We bad hoped for better things from | men professing to be Democrats. e knew i that the holding of this Convention could 4p us ; DO further harm, if conducted in a spirif* of candor and true Democracy, and might do us a * great deal of good—and such being the case we took no stand against it in the oulsfart.— We were willing it should be held, but were determined to rebuke its action if that action tended to enlarge the schism that already ex isted in our ranks. That ;ts object and action was such—that it was assembled for that pur pose and for no other, we are fuliy convicced —and as a Democrat who has no sympathy with factious opposition in our own ranks, and who never can consent to give "aid and com fort" to the Abolitionists, by opening to them the way to victory, we condemn and repudiate the'obj ect, intent and action of this late so-call ed De mocratic State Convention. HON. WILLIAM P. SCHELL. We copy below an article which lately ap peared, in the Philadelphia -Irgus, the whole tenor of which we heartily endorse. Mr. Scbell has made an able, active and useful Senator : "Among the many prominent young Demo crats in the State o( Penary runic* * I fV l ' g u_x~o nf !he par fy, than Hon. William P. Scbell, at present Senator from the Bedford District. He began his legislative career as a Representative in the I General Assembly from the counties of Cam bria, Bedford and Fulton, to which position he was re-elected by a majority moch larger than ! that usually given to the Democratic party. — At the commencement of his second session in the House, be was chosen Speaker, and it is rendering him but simple justice to say that he made one of the most efficient and popular pre siding officers that body ever had. At the ex piration of that session, he resumed the practice of the law in Bedford and Fulton counties.— He was solicited to become a candidate for Congress in his District, at a time when a nomi nation would, in his case, have been equivalent to an election, but he declined, preferring the quiet life ol his own home, to the turmoils, and too often empty honors of a Congressional career. But the people of his district were not wil ling to dispense with his services, and in 1857, the Senatorial conference representing the counties of Bedford, Somerset and Huntingdon, voluntarily and unanimously nominated him for the State Senate. This nomination he twice declined, but the delegates, knowing his personal and political popularity, refused to accept his declination, and he was in a manner forced to become a candidate. When he found that |he Democracy thus demanded him for their standard bearer, he went to work with zeal and energj*, and the result was his trium phant election in a district which usually gives an Opposition majority ot two thousand. By this resait the Senate was saved to the De mocracy, because it is well known, that in the present session that party has but one of a ma jority. This predominance was secured main ly through the popularity of Mr. Schell, be cause be carried a district almost hopelessfc agsimt *t, and he was probably the only Demo crat in it who could have been elected. Sinee he took hi* seat in that body, his course has been marked by the same and Integrity that has always characterized his official career. He has been watchful of the people's interests, and has originated several measures calculated to save the public treasury from depletion, and advance the prosperity of | the Commonwealth." XiFThe Pittsburg Port, Allentown Demo crat, Somerset Democrat, Perry county Demo crat, and Armstrong Democrat , all repudiate the action of the late Forney Convention. These journals sympathized with Forney in the be ginning, but have been brought to their senses, by the open and undisguised hostility to Demo cracy manifested by the Forney-ites. Fornev i will not have a corporal's guard of Democrats to accompany him to the Black Republican ranks. KF"The Greensburg Democrat is one of the most reliable Democratic newspapers published in Western Pennsylvania. The last number tells some plain truths concerning certain of the disorganizes. We wish the Democrat God speed in its good work of placing such men as John M. Laird and .-vlex. in their proper position. NEW PUBLICATIONS. THE PILLAR OF FIRE: on ISRAEL IN BON DACE. By Rev. J. H. ISGKABA*, author of "The Prince oflbe House of David." New York: Pudoey & Russell. Philadelphia : G. G. EVANS, 439 Chestnut Street. "The Prince of the House of David" has had a sale unexceeded by any volume of its size and character. In that work the effort was made to il iustrate events in the land of Judea, by the letters of a Jewish maiden. In this a* young prince of Phenicia is supposed to write form Egypt. The condition of the children of Israel, and the wonders wrought by Moses, form the staple of the work, and as much of Egyptian history and description is introduced as is necessary to complete the picture, and give it fullness and unity. Mr. Ingraham has j diligently consulted all accessible authorities I upon the antiquities and customs of Egypt, and | the volume is the result of long and patient 'study. Many difficu Ities attend an undertaking of such a nature, and justice to the writer re quires that the preface and appendix should be ! read before the text of the work. The object ■ is to promote a knowledge of the Bible, by leading readers to compare and verify, and search for themselves. The material for the ; volumes, it is proper to say, is drawn from ■ other sources, and the imagination of the wri ter is employed to fill up, from brief data, a | continuous narative. It is a Phenician and j cotemporary view of the scenes and events which we are accustomed to regard from quite ' a different stand point. It will popularize ' knowledge upon subjects heretofore restricted to archxologists. This entrancing and instructive book of 596 | pages, bound in excellent style, is sold for sl.- 25—same price as "The Prince of the House of David." Evans of Philadelphia, has purchased 10,- ! 000 copies of "The Pillar of Fire," and 5,000 {of the "Prince of the House of David," and will mail a handsome Gift, with either book, on receipt of the price and twenty-one cen'.s for postage. A new Classified Catalogue of Standard j Books, in every department of Literature, with a new list of Gifts for 1859, has just been issu ed by Evans, and will be mailed free, on ap plication.

It is a neatly printed and ably edited sheet, and what is more, is soundly Democratic. We wish the proprietor! much success, which they will hardly fail of, as their firm has got "the Beans." THE CCBA FILLIBCSTER EXCITEMENT.—A good deal of excitement has been created in thk city and throughout the country by the statement that an expedition has been fitted oat from here to Cuba, and that the Island is on the eve of witnessing another filibuster excite ment like that it experienced during the Lopez invasions. W 6 have obtained the following facts in re lation to the matter from a reliable source, Don Jose Elias Hernandez, one of the ex-members of the last Cuban Junta that was established in this city, left here about three weeks since with a small number of Cuban exiles, on board ol an American *iscboooer, with the avowed purpose of throwing themselves ashore on some | pan of the eastern end of the Island, and I endeavoring to create a revolution. A'one of j the Other members of the late Cuban Junta, nor lof the Americans that were connected with | their operations, have any participation in the plan of Senor Hernandez, or have lent hirn any countenance in his present step. Rumor has largely augmented the numbers of Cubans that have gone with Senor Hernandez, and we have reliable information that be has no connection with any American organization of character or numbers. The Cuban residents here do not sanction his present movement, which they look upon as the height of Quixot ism and follv, though very many of them sympathise with his wishes to see his country freed from its subjugation to Spain. It is not believed either that Senor Hernandez has con nections with any extensive organization in Cuba, as he is known to hold social views which are not entertained by the great majority of the people of that island- Should the expedition ever land in Cuba, ol which there are strong doubts, it can do no good to any one, and only bring destruction upon its own members. For reasons entirely disconnected with this -dlep of Seaor Hernandez, our city has lately been visited by a number of Spanish spies.— These are continually finding new proofs of the existence ot a large filibuster organization here, to operate against Cuba, and alt kinds of reports are circulated by them. AmoDg the latest re ports made by them to the Captain General at Havana, is one stating that the Order of the Sons of Malta is the cover of the movement they pretend to have discovered. While it is tobe regretted that any enthusiasts should under take an attempt like that we are speaking of, their movements should not be looked upon as being an expression of the popular sentiment, either in this country or in Cuba.—JV". Y. Herald. DISTRUST OF THE PEOPLE. In this country there have always been rranv politicians belonging,as their occasions might serve, to different parties, who have been distinguished by no characteristic more marked than their distrust of the people. This distrust is shown in various ways:—in cantempt, sometimes, for what they call "the populace," or the "popular" judgment and taste: at other times, by disregard of the most absurd manifestations of the personal populari ty of public functionaries: and, again, by ef forts to play upon those whom they despise, or at least doubt, by various sorts of trick, strata gem, and imposture. The instincts ot some, and honest impulses a others, among such men, naturally drive tiem into OPPOSITION to the Democracy: and tie more candid and disinterested among them have, at different eras of our political history-, cpeniy avowed their antagonism under the names of Federalists or Whigs. With the laders and the rank and fileot this sort it is ! uy to deal; they are open and above-board; | aid at the least, as well as at the best, they are ! joite harmless. Candid and honest enough to express their j learty, if not rancorous, distrust of Democracy, i hey must be ever in a hopeless minority in a 1 fation wherein, by the very nature ot our po- j iitical institutions and social life, and individu- ' J! aspirations, Democracy must be paramount n some form or other. But, from time to time—as at this hour— have been found persons making noisv and incessant professions o( attachment to the ! Democratic cause—assuming the name of "the j party,"—and boastfully pretending 0 express its opinions and feelings, and yet ignoring the ! deliberate and settled, the wise and dispassio nate judgment of the PEOPLE. These persons ! are notable to every attentive observer for every quality which can designate and define the spirit and the aims of FACTION. At present thev display their factious animus by the intemperance and unscrupuloumess of their attacks upon the man whom the people ' of this Union elevated to the Chief Migisttacv. i Mr. Buchanan could not, ot course, by his poli cy, or his patronage, or his courtesies, satisfy the personal and variant, and, in many instan ces, contradictory views and wishes of these self-seeking pretenders to authoritative position r I yW<igcghip in the Democratic rauks. So tion at an the Admmistrs wouid not only preserve w.-iliT possessed, in the act of desertion, but also transfer the masses, by whom they professed to be backed, into the camp of the opposition. This fancy, we presume, is now patent to them selves as the merest illusion. They are not recognised by the adversaries of Democracy as quite so mighty, by talents, influence, or char acter, political, social, or personal, as they ex pected to be acknowledged: and thpy are acute enough to discover also that the PEOPLE, of whom they never thought, except as a mass to be cajoled, or wheedled, or squeezed into such | form as suited their desires and aims, are still : the hearty friends and ready supporters of the j Chief Magistrate.— Washington Constitution. Why am I a Democrat I This is a strange question. The U3ual answers about political measures X need not give you ; but I will tell you why. Democracy is the party of progress and of the people. You know that the Opposition never originated anything. In regard to State or national measures, what has been with them is the rule ; with the Democracy it is what ought to be the measure. Democracy is not afraid to check corporate power, to aim at such policy as will make wealth equal, as near as the* accidents which happen to mankind will permit. De mocracy, too, is American ; for though it held in contempt the midnight Americanism, commonly called Know-Nothingism, and de feated it, yet Democracy is truly American.— It separates from Old Word forms—from Aristocratic privilege, has helped to found new j States, new law systems, new constitutions.— It takes the lead in progress, in living education, in literature and in political science. Are judges to be restricted ? Democracy does it. Is a foreign power to be battled against, our tprritory to be preserved, our national honor to be vindicated, new territory to be acquired? It is trom a Democratic Administration this is looked to be accomplished ; and it is. from the acquisition of Louisiana to'lhe present day, Democracy has dared] everything ; acquisition and diplomacy ;. war, to maintain the nation's honor. Democracy, too, accomplishes what it undertakes. Does upon a National Bank as inimical to public rights I Away goes the Bank, and bursts and blows to atoms, to show that Democracy is right. Dae3 it propose a better means to preserve the public money the Independent Treasury ? It is enacted ; and the test of war, panic, and revulsion vindi cate Democratic sagacity. The Opposition to the Democracy never manage to pass a great measure in'.o a law that will stay on the statute book. The national laws are the work of Democrats. j Do the Democracy inaugurate a new policy |in Territories ? They carry it out andffreedom is the result, f is a noble daring about Democrats 100 ; they are not always trying to be popular—they would rather be right; and in the long run they prove to be. They have bull-dog tenacity. Trifles don't discourage them or break their organization. They are the same, fifty years back, to-day, and w.il be in matter of principle, fifty years hence. They progress, it is true, but it is in the development of ideas and measures, carrying out the great principles which lie at the founda tion of free government. They go tor the principles and men—not men without the principle. When you are a member of the Democratic party, vouare not sure it is true, but that occasionally in a man or a measure, they may be somewhat mistaken, but you are sure of pledging allegiance to great principles : you are sure of effort for great truths, and you ueed not fear to-mofowor next day You'll have a new name, new leaders, and new principles, and have to ask, as a great opposition man once did : "Where arn Itogo ?" The path of the Democracy is straight, steadily traversed, with out turning to the right or left, or to northern sectional or southern disunion principle. It is upward and onward, with a march as steady and keeping step and time with the onward march of our country's glory, prosperity, aod greatness. I could not be a true patriot unless I were a Democrat. Do not wonder, then, that with iieart,soul, and intellect, I am a Democrat, and -hail be so while lite lasts. I could be nothing else.— Extract. ALLEGHENY MILE SND FEMALE SEMINARY.— The Spring term of this institution, commenced on the sth inst.

TO CONSUMPTIVES. — Persons of a con sumptive tendency have need to be very care ful in the outset of a cough, and betake them selves in time, to a proper remedy. A cough is always evidently of irritation in the throat and lung?, resulting from some obstruction of the skin. In order to prevent these attack?, guard the feet from damp and wet and above all, take DP.. KEYSET'S Pectoral Cough Syrup upon the first approach of a cough or sore throat, and check the disease thereby in its infancy. There is nothing like attack ing disease on its first approach. By due at ention to this a ivice you will save much suf fering and sometimes prolong life. Even when consumption has become seated, this medicine will mitigate the suffering has cured some very bad cases. Sold at Harry's, Bedford, and at Colvio's, Schellsburg.
