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

SOMERSET COUNTY 0. 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

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.

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

j the calamitous fire in Banstead Piace, on the mor
i ning of the 11th instant.
When we reflect that these Safes were located
! in the fourth story of the building we occupied, and
tnat they feii subsequently into a heap of barntQv
ruins, where the vast concentration of heat caused
the brass plates to melt, we cannot but regard the
preservation of their valuable contents as rr.&s;
convincing proof of the great security- afforded bv -
your Safes. ' ' js,
We shall take much pleasure ic recommend,r *
them to men oi business as a sure reliance aa.
