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!

FORNEY'S COMMITTEE.
I The Stale (!) Committee of the Forney-cators, ■

odd, indeed. The great Democratic party—hea

; matters have shaped themselves ! Hut, joking
aside, Mr. Forney's committee did not nomi

H. 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

DISASTROUS CONFLAGRATION I
Ten leaslo;ls Deslroyeit !!
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 :

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*.

Extensive Forgery—Elopement.
James N. Dubois, a young clerk in the office
of the Hamilton and Dayton Railroad Company,
at Cincinnati, presented a check for $7,009 at
the counter of the Lafayette Bank, and recei
ved the money, with which he -♦-<*• The

withstanding the check was presented some
ten days before the usual tune f >r draw ing the

employees, the fact did not excite the suspi
cion of the bank clerk. 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

flight from the city he had taken with urn a
young lady about eighteen wars ot as*, the

The Democratic Party—lts.Mission.
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.
INTENSITY or THE COLD IN SHTZRERGEN.— •
No discription can give an adequate ideaol tl;e
intense rigor of the six months winter in that
part of the world. Stories ciack with the noise
of thunder. Ir. a crowded hut, the breath of;
the occupants will fail in (lakes of snow ; wine !
and spirits turn to ice ; the snow burns like
caustic ; if iron touches the flesh, it brings the
flesh awav with it, the soles of your stockings
may be burnt off your (eet before you feel the
slightest warmth from the fire; linen taken out
of boiling water instantly stiffens to the consis
tency ola wooden boaid, and heated stones
will not prevent the sheets of the bed from
freezing. It these are the eflects of the climate
within an air-tight, fire-warmed, crowded hut
what must they be among the dark, stormlash
ed mountain-peaks outside !
street incident in Sonora, California
growing out of a difficulty at a horse race, is
thus described : "Davis immediately drew a
Deringer pistol and fired, the ball passing
through Shelley's Body. Sheiley, with great
rapidity, and before falling, drew his six
shooter arid fired at Davis, The ball entered
his mouth, and glancing on the teeth, passing
through the left cheek and out at the ear. 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
