FOR SURVEYOR GENERA I.: JOHN ROW E, OF FRANKLIN. WHITE AND BLACK AMALGAMATION* The Bkck Republican party of this State, stand committed, beyond dispute, to the dis graceful, the infamous doctrine that it is right that the white and black races should inter marry and amalgamate. As we have be/ore shown, and as we can prove from the record at any time, the last House of Representatives, which wa9 composed ot a large majority of Black Republicans, refused to pass the bi.i to prevent such intermarriage and amalgamation. This fact alone is amply sufficient to sustain the charge made in the opening sentence c i this article. But in order to make their appro val of this odious doctrine as emphatic a: possible, the Black Republicans of this county, passed at their meeting on Tuesday night, of Court week,a resolution endorsing the conise of GEO. W. WILLIAMS in the Legislature, this same man Williams having voted agains-i the bill refered lo above. They did this in de fiance of the wishes of hundreds of men who have hitherto voted their ticket. Th"V did it, regardless ot the shame and the reproach that Williams' vote on the anti-Amalgamation bill, has brought upon our county. How many of the Opposition-ists cf Bedford county were prepared lor the interpolation into their creiu ot a doctrine like this? How many of the while people whom Mr. Williams represented (or rather misrepresented) in the Legislature, are willing that i! shall be considered proper and right for their daughters and sisters to mar ry npgro husbands ? What "dough-face" jto quote a hackneyed Opposition-ism) can be so kneaded by the whippers-in ot the Black Re publican party, as io sutler his eyes to be pres sed shut against this revolting political specta cle? Citizens of Bedford county! Friends of society and of the development of the white race! Ye who believe in the virtues of the good old Anglo-Saxon blocd—whose hearts beat with exultant throbs as you contemplate the triumphs of white civilization —it is for ijou to say whether the men who would de grade you to the level of Hie black man , shall go unrebuked. It is to you we appeal. No nutter to what party you belong—no matter what vour opinions on the slavery question in the abstract —will you, can you, dare you en dorse the new theory of the Black Republicans, that a negro is good encuyß i" *"•'~' or your daughters? The consequences to the white race, involved in this question of amal gamation, are of the most serious import. Every man of common sense can see them at a glance. A mixture of races such as would he the result if society were to be governed by this Black Republican rule, would render the American people, half a century hence, more effeminate than the weakest of the Oriental nations. Let the sterling, strong-minded, self respecting people ot Bedford county, repudiate and rebuke the party that declares it right that their blood should flow in the veins ofthe Afri can race! COI'RT PROCEEDINGS. The following cases were disposed ot last week. The number of causes were unusually small. In the case of the Com. vs. Solomon Shroyer. Indictment lor Larcpny, on oath of Jacob Hardman, the Jury returned a verdict of guilty. During the absence of the jury in this case the Defendant asked leave o! absence and has not been heard of since. Com. vs. Gotleib Coin.an, Jnd.ctmerit for Perjury, on oath of Wm. Keyser.

Clover died on the 21st ult., after a protracted ami severe illness, at the Forest House, Clarion, ?'a., in the 53d year of his age. He held at various periods honorable and responsible offices, - ich as As sociate Judge, Sheriff and Prothonotary of his county, and forthrep years was Collector ol Tolls on the Pennsyls ania C3nai at Pittsburg. For the twenty years he had taken a pro minent part in the politics of the State, as a member of the Democratic party, and was well known and highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. FORNEY'S COMMITTEE. I The Stale (!) Committee of the Forney-cators, ■ I met at Aitooaa. one ("ay* last we.i. and re- '■ j solved not (• nominate a ticket. What a par !tv Form y's is ■ That the overwhelming num- f i ot Anti-Administration Democials in Pennsylvania, of which Forney boasts so much, ' ) should not have a ticket of their own, seems | odd, indeed. The great Democratic party—hea j ven save the mark.! —of which John VV. For- : ney is the great life-giving head, without a ' ticket, whilst that other insignificant little fac i Lion which met at Harrisburg on the IGth j March, has a ticket which it intends to sup ; port ! Can it he possible ? How strangely ; matters have shaped themselves ! Hut, joking aside, Mr. Forney's committee did not nomi nate a ticket, simply because they intend to vote that of the Opposition. At the next elec tion, depend upon it, who is not tor us, is a gainst us. CONVICTION OF SILAS J. COVER. Silas J. Cover, of Davidsville, Somerset coun (r, was convicted last week in the T_ . S. Dis- j trict Court, at Pittsburg, for the charge of ah- j stracling letters from the mail, and the etr.bez zlement of money contained therein. His sentence is ten years confinement in the Peni tentiary. One of the /.iloesses for the de ; fence in this case, named Emanuel Auman, has been prosecuted for perjury. THE WEATHER AT BEDFORD DURING THE MONTH OF APRIL. There wpre IF days upon which either rain or snow fell, making in all 5.573 cubic inches of water. The water in the rain gauge indi cated about 8 inches of snow on the Saturday i ; before Easter. There were more or less of clouds upon eveiy day of the month. The mean cloudiness for the whole month was 527. 10 being entire cloudiness. The greatest amount of mean cloudiness was at 2 O'clock. P. M., and the least at 9P. M. The prevailing clouds were the nimbus or rain cloud. There were only two days, and these were Hie last two, in which there was no vyjnd. — On the 3d, 4-th and sth of the month, there were high winds, blowing at the rate of 35 rniies per hour at 2 O'clock P. M. The mean temperature of the air for the month was 4,929 degrees, the hours of observa tion being 7 O'clock A. M., 2 P. M., and 9 P. M. The coldest day was cn the 9th.

HECK CRM AN. \£F*On Tuesday last, the curiosity of many of our citizens was excited by seeing a sus picious looking character, with red face, fiery whiskers and white eyebrows, in company with the Chief of Polic°, on his way to the Alder man?* office. Our curiosity, too, drove us there, and upon the investigation of the rr,alter found that the individual, represented himself as Fred'k Alex. SchafTer, and had in his possession a pair of No. 8, fine Gents' patent leather shoes, bearing the cost mark of one of our merchants in this place. The shoes were fully identified, but, nevertheless, the prisoner stoutly insisted upon his innocence, declaring he had purchased them in Philadelphia. Able counsel volun teered their services in his behalf, but to jio avail. After Ins commitment was made out and placed in the officer's hands, a consultation arose among the more considerate of those present, as to the practicability of the case— considered in a financial point of view—and finally prevailed on the officer to take his own recognizance in SIOO for his appearance at our next August Term of Quarter Session. This done, his exit from town was speedily made, he declaring his intention (in copious tears) to return at the fixed time and establish the fact as to how he came by the shoes. THE STATE TREASURER.— CoI. Eli Slifer, the new State Treasurer, entered upon the duties of his office last Monday. He has made the following appointments : Cashier, i iiomas Nicholson, of Beaver county. Clerks, Judson Holcomb, of Bradford. M. Houston Taggart, of Northumberland; and Alexander Wilson, ol Washington. 'CF*At a congregational meeting held ot the Presbyterian church of this place, on last Mon day, leave of absence was granted to the Pastor in charge, REV. MR. SAMPLE, for four months. He intends travelling the coming Summer for his health. During his absence his pulpit will be filled by REV. FRANCIS BUTLER, from New York. TT Daniel Vondersmith, of Lancaster City, who was convicted in the United States Dis trict Coml at Philadelphia, for forging applica tions for pensions, on two bills, was by his honor, Judge Cadwalader sentenced to ten years imprisonment in the Eastern Penitentiary, on each bill and to pay a fine of $5,000.

At Pittsburg, on last Saturday a most destruc- j live fire occurred on the landing involving a loss '■ iof boats valued at $165,000, upon which: there was an insurance ol $75,000 —leaving $90,000 uncovered by insurance. In speak- j ing of the calamity the True Press, says: The fire was discovered in the steamboat Hen- > ry Gratr, lying at the landing, immediately op- j * posite the mouth ot Wood street. The fire ori ginated about midships, and the smoke was first seen issuing from the hurricane ,roof. There was no file, at the time, inside the caoin, or in the engine room, and the supposition is ; that the fire was communicated by a spark, to the roof of the boat. When the fire broke out, there were some thirty-five steamers lying in close proximity side by side at the landing. The South Amer ica occupying a central position, had steam up she backed out soon alter the flame- commenced to spread, and taking with her the lowa and one or two other boats, she passed down the stream to a point out ot danger. The Econo i mv followed her example, also rendering valua ble assistance The Hazel Dell, Cap*. Ileese, was rescued from the line of danger, having been dropped down the river before the tlames had made much progress. Some of the crews of the boats burned na'- rowly escaped : but we are rejoiced to slate ; that no lives were lost. We regret to learn that a large number cf our friends among them lost their entire warci robes excep ting what liny had on. Of course, there was no chance to save any - thing from the freight or furniture of the boats which we have enumerated. Fortunately onlv half of the boats were loading, none were ful- Jly laden, and some had but just discharged. There was a large quantity ol freight on the | wharf, ready to betaken on board, almost all of which was burned. The flames spread with fearful rapidity, and in less than five minutes the steameison either side the Graff were enveloped. The fire spread, at this rate, up and down the landing, exten ling to the Monongahela bridge, eastwardlv, and I to the mouth of Market street on the west, totally destroying the steamers. IMPORTANT ACT.—The following hill be came a law at the close ol the late session of our State Legislature. It is of considerable importance to suitors in the courts : An Act relating to costs in certain cases. SECTION 1. He it enacted by the Senate and House ol Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by authority of the same. That in all cases where petit juries may by law direct that a prosecutor or defendant shall pay the- costs thereof, any such jury shall direct that a prosecutor shall pay a portion and the defendant or defendants a portion thereof, and shall designate in such case what portion each party shall pay*. Approved the twelfth day of April, A. D., one thousand eight-hundred ami fifty-nine. WM. F. PACKER. Extensive Forgery—Elopement. James N.

The scamp hao secu red a check with a genuine signature of the President, but as every check was printed across the face, '- Sot good unless counter ign -d by the Secretary," it was necessary to forge the signature of Mr. F. H. Short, whici was done, though not in a manner to escape detec tion, had it been subjected to scrutiny. The forgery was not discovered until Tue sday afternoon, the book not having beei used in the meantime, when the passbook \va taken to the Lafavette Bank to be balanced. Upon making inquiries, it was ascertained thafyoung Dubois had not been at the office since Satur day, nor at his usual boarding place, .id the forgery was at once traced to hirn. farther investigation developed the lact that V had not only perpetrated the crime we hae de scribed," which he must have had in contmp'.a tion for some time, but that in his subsquent flight from the city he had taken with urn a young lady about eighteen wars ot as*, the sister of" tlie wife of a very respectable ciizen.

The history of the Democratic party, from the days ol its illustrious founder, the immor tal JEFFERSON, down to the present time, prove it to be as essential to the maintenance and per petuity of the Republic under the institutions ordained by the lathers of the Constitution, as is the Christian organization to the welfare and happiness of the human race ; and it is indeed refreshing and instructive to go back to the earlier epochs of 0111 country, am! to contem plate the successive triumphs of Democracy over bigotry and intolerance, and the men and the parties that, from time to time, have sought to pervert our form of government into an in strument of oppression, and to entirely change its aims and purposes. The first and memorable * victory achieved by the Democracy over the enemies of the rights of man and the haters and contemners of our institutions, was in sweeping from the statute book tfie odius alien and sedition laws establish ed by the elder ADAMS, and by which he strove to perpetuate his ill-gotten power. The elec tion of THOMAS JEFFERSON, in ISOO, secured the the domination of Democratic principles and policy in governmental affairs for a long series of years ; and in 1812, during the Ad ministration of JAMES MADISON, the Democra cy won its second great victory, in illustration of its patriotism and nationality, by vindicating the insulted honor of our flag in a just war, humiliating the vaunted piowess of Great Britain on land and sea, and covering the ad versaries of our country, at home and abroad, with shame and confusion. During the Administration of JAMES MADISON, the opposition to the Democracy—those who had scoffed at the war policy and other acts of Democratic ad mi nisi rat ion—seemed to be en tirely ;outtd ar,d driven from the field, and that period was hence chaiacterized as "the era of good feeling." Not much occurred during the short term of J. Q. An AMS in the Presidential chair, from 18- 22 to 1829, to mark the radical difference be tween the Democracy, as the champion of equal rights and liberal institutions, and the party, no matter what various names and disguises it has assumed, which has always been arrayed against it, and seeking its overthrow. Hut the bold, vigorous, and feat less home and foreign policy of ANDREW JACKSON, who succeeded him, soon changed the aspect of affairs, and re created and invoked those sharply-defined party lines and iand-marks which, during a long poli tical calm had become almost obliterated. From that time, we may date a new era in politics tile opening of a sea of conflicting waves ol public sentiment, whose surges are even now around and about us, swaying men's opinions and influencing their action. JACKSON, like JEF FERSON, was a man of the people, and sympa thized deeply with '.he masses. He was a re fornier a foe to wrong and crying abuse, no matter how sanctioned by age or authority.— The money-power of the land had centralized and solidified itself in a vast national institution which, like a gigantic Briareus, stretched out its arms into all quarters of the Union, fie saw at once how this immense corporation, govern ed bv that instinct of selfishness and passion of avarice which control, more or less, all similar institutions under the direction ol bad men, might be used to embarass the Government, to enslave the people, and to beset and demoral ize the public mind through bribery and spec ula'ion : and he determined, like a hero as he was, to interpose his veto to its re-charter and to put it down. The great heart of the Demo cracy responded to his efforts; and though the denounced him as a radical and a Jacobin, he succeeded in prostrating the monster, atnid the plaudits and blessings of the good and tile true in every section of the Union. The next memorable triumph of the Demo cracy in behalf of the people, and over the friends of chartered privileges and the specu lating classes, was the entire divorcement of the Government from Banking institutions, hy the establishment of the Independent Treasury—a system which pours into our public coffers no thins but the Constitutional currency of sold and silver a system which holds every fiscal agent of the Nation to the strictest accountability, under pains and penalties of fine and imprisonment, and a system which so fir has secured the Federal Government a gainst the loss of a single dollar. The next triumph of the Democracy over the enemies of the Republic, within and with out, was the victory of our National arms ru the war with Mexico, and the consequent acquisi tion of New Mexico and California to our Na tional domain. Asa part of this achievement (because the crisis grew out of our new acqui sition of territory,) may be classed the passage of the Compromise measures of 1850, by which the Union was saved from threatened dissolu tion ; for although many good and patriotic Whigs, under the lead of CRAY, stepped into the breach, still the work was mainly accom plished under Democratic counsels, and by Democratic hands and hearts, j When it i-. remembered that ail the glorious ' rsulfs to which we have hurriedly alluded— ; md which have redounded so greatly to the ! jonor and welfare of tire nation—have been iccomplished, in most cases, in the face of a Vice ami relentless opposition, who dare sav lhat the Democracy is not a necessary element of our country's progress, and that its existence is not as essential to our develobment and pre servation in the future, as it was to our great ness in the past ? If it was necessary to save the Union heretofore, it is still armed with the same weapons, and the same purpose, for all coming time. It is now grappling with that monster, SECTIONALISM, as it grappled with the monster Bank ; nor will it release its hold until that many-headed hydria lies strangled in the throes of final dissolution.— Pennsylvanian. DERTS or ENGLAND AND FRANCE. —An arti cle in tlm London Economist furnishes some reliable statistics in relation to the debts of En gland and France, and by whom held. The a mourtl of the English funded debt is £780,- 119,722, held by 268,995 persons, being an average ol £2,900 each. The amount of the French debt is £336,883,868, held by 1,008,- 682 persons being an average of .£33+ each. The amount of interest paid on the English debt is £27,+ 11,995, giving an average divi dend of £lO2 to each holder; the amount of the interest on the French debt is £12,135,- 236, giving an average dividend of £l2 to pach holder. On account of the number of persons interes led in the French debt it is subject to much greater fluctuations than the English, in the same manner that the bank with a large num ber of small depositors is much more like]v to be subject to a dangerous run than one with a small number of large depositors. \L'LIFICATION. —The Nullifiers of the fugi tive slave law in the North make a great outcry over the alleged nullification of the anti-slave, trade laws in the South. They ought to set the South a better example. They suggest that the slavers be taken North and tried by Northern juries, which, no doubt, would be agreeable to the South, if they will send their slave rescuers South to be tried by Southern juries. A compromise of this kind would be' exactly fair, and accomplish more efficiently than hy any other means all the ends of justice. Moreover, so long as the Northern kidnappers' steal negroes from the South, they must not! be surprised if Southern kidnappers fill the va cum with negroes stolen from Africa. II the North wants to prevent this, the most effectual way to do it is to cease th" war upon Southern labor, and s t an example of equity, fair deal ing and obedience to the laws.— Richmond Dispatch.

By this time Davis had drawn hi. six-shooter.— Both fell about six feet apart and commenced filing at each other, and kept it up until the barrels of both pistols werp empty. Davis bad one of his hands torn badly by a ball from Sherlev's pistol, and received two other wounds, none fatal. Sherley was lifeless when the crowd approached them. (Cr"The New Hampshire Democracy "still lives." The Manchester Democrat says— "Time and again we have been assailed by arts and arms which have been omnipotent elsewhere : but when the dust and smoke of the battle had cleared away, and the assailants looked for the fruits of the conflicts, they found indeed, the spoils of the camp at their con trol, but the foe still unconquered and ready for another encounter. We stand in that po sition to-day. Unlike our party friends in many other states, the Democracy of New Hampshire have never been dismayed, dishear tened, much less, demoralized, by deleat. — Our columns are still compact, our courage sliil undaunted, and our faith still unshaken."' AUSTRIA'S FINANCIAL TROUBLES. —The Paris correspondent of the New York Journal of commerce writes : So desperate is the state of the Austrian finance, that the government is said to have seized upon the metallic reserve of the Bank o! Vienna. A forced loan is also supposed to be - wealthier portion of the community. Even the army is repoited to be showing dangeious symptom,s of dissatisfaction, aiising from long arrea.'s of pay. It seems scarcely possible that Austria can maintain much longer her present position : she must speedily come to a resolu tion either to fight or yield. A Boy MADE CP.OSS-EYED BY A FALL.— In Cincinnati, Charles Temple, about eleven years old, while playing a few days ago, stumbled and struck bis lace violently upon a piece of lumber, cutting his nose and forehead quite severely, He rose, however, and bathing his face, went home, when having complained of a pain in his eves and inability to see clearly, it was discovered that both of his optics were badiy crossed, so much so that the retina re ceived a double impression ol every object.— Several physicians, who have examined the lad's eyes since, have been unable to do any thing for them, but they may, in after years, regain their natural position. ASSETS or A DEFUNCT BANK. —The assignee of the Lancaster Bank, Pennsylvania, which failed some two or three years ago with an out standing circulation of over $600,000, reports that the notes will be utterly worthless so Jar as the assets of the defunct bank are concer ned, which will hardly realize enough cash to pay expenses. The only chance for bill holders is to enforce the individual liabilities! against directors and stockholders, who, he j says, are fully able and responsible to redeem j dollar for dollar. Some of the bill-holders hive | determined to prosecute accordingly. FATAL AFFAIR IN TENNESSEE. — From the last issue of the Shelbyville Expositor we learn of a terrible tradegy in Bedford county. A man by the name of Allen had reason to sus pect the fidelity of bis wife, and charged a man named Handy with being her seducer.— The latter indignantly denied the charge, using abusive language. Infuriated by a positive knowledge of the great wrong that had been done him, Allen rushed upon his adversary and stabbed him to death. lie limn surrender ed himself to the legal authorities. THE COFFEE TRADE OF THE WORLD —The consumption of coffee increases in a greater , ratio than the increase of population, in 1832,1 334,000,000 lbs. were used ; in 1838, the consumption had increased to 654,000,000 lbs., nearly double. The greatest consumer is the United Slates, which uses 97,000 tons, Germany follows with 75,000 lons, Fiance consumes 28,000 tons, Belgium 21,000 tons, Austria 19,000 tons, and England 15,000.

A GREAT ARM V. —There are said to be at this time four millions of soldiers under amis in Europe, and this without counting sailors, or civil or national guards, or militia of any kind.

Besides his splendid array >f horses, he keeps one of the choicest variety of fowls, of all the different breeds in the world. Wild geese and ducks of every hue and variety. He has also several fancy cows. HYDROPHOBIA. —A writer in the Providence Journal furnishes the following prescripiion for hydrophobia: "Eat the green shoots ot asparagus raw, sltep, and perspiration will be induced, and the disease can thus be cured in any stage of canine madness."
