There i e another thing in the article which if it had not come from a distinguished Senator, and a very upright gentleman, would have been open to some imputation of unfairness. He quotes the President's message, and begins in the middled a sentence. He professes to giv the very words, and makes Mr. Buchanan say : "That slavery exists in Kansas by virtue of the Constitution of the United States." What Mr. Buchanan did say was a different thing. It was this, "It has been solemnly adjudged by the highest judicial tribunal known to our laws, that slavery exists in Kansas by virtue ol the Constitution ot the United States." Everybody knows that-by treating the Bible in that way, you can prove the non-existence of God. The argument um. ad homintm is not fair, and we do not mean to use it. Mr. Douglas has a right to change his opinions whenever he pleases. But we quote him as we would any other au thority equally high in favor ot truth. We can prove by himself that every proposition he lays down in Harpers' Magazine is founded in error. Never before has any public man in A merica so completely revolutionized his politi cal opinions in the course of eighteen months. We do not. deny that the change is heartfelt and conscientious. We only insist that he formerly stated his propositions much more clearly, and sustained them with far greater ability and bet ter reason, than he does uow. When he took a tour to the South, at the be ginning of last winter, he made a speech at New Orleans, in which he announced to the people there that he and his friends in Illinois accepted the Drtd Scott decision , regarded slaves as property and fully admitted the right of a Southern man to go into any Federal ter ritory with his slave, and to hold him there as other property is held. In 18W he voted in the Senate for what was called Walker's amendment, by which it was proposed to put all the internal affairs of Cal ifornia and New Mexico under the domination of the President, giving him almost unlimited power, legislative, judicial, and executive, over the interna! affairs of those Territories. (See 20th Cong., p. .) Undoubtedly this was a strange way of treating sovereignties. If Mr. Douglas is right now, he was guilty then of most atrocious usurpation. Utah is as much a sovereign State as any other Territory, and as perfectly entitled to en joy the right of self-government. On the 12th of June, 1857, Mr. Douglas made a speech about Utah, at Springfield, Illinois, in which he ex pressed his opinion strongly in favor of the ab solute and unconditional repeal of the organic act, blotting the Territorial government out of existence, and putting the people under the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, like a fort, arsenal, dock-vaid, or maga zine. He does not seem to have had the least idea then that he was proposing to extinguish a sovereignty, or to trample upon the sacred rrghts of an independent people. The report which he made to the Senate, in 1856, on the Topeka constitution, enunciates a very different doctrine from that of the mag azine article. It is true that the language is a little cloudy, but no one can understand the following sentences to signify that the Territo rial governments have sovereign power to take away the property of the inhabitants: "The sovereignty ot a Teritory remains in aley an(*> snsjteniied in the United States, in trust for the people until they shall be admitted into the Union as a State. In the mean time they are admitted to enjoy and exercise all the rights and priveleges of self-government, in subordination to the Constitu tion of the United States, and in OBEDIKSCB TO THE oamc uw passed by Congress i instrnmeni. -rt.ese 'VigtuT ■- P nvi,e *® „ through the act ol 1 Congress, and mut oe exeroi.< —> in sim- 1 ,ection to alf the limitations and restrictions which that Constitution imposes." The letter he addressed to a, Philadelphia meeting, in February, ISSB, is more explicit, and, barring some anomalous ideas concerning the nbeynnce of the power and the suspension of it in trust, it is clear enough: "Under our Territorial system, it requires sover eign power to ordain and establish constitutions and governments. While a Teritory may and should enjoy all the rights of self-government, in obedience to its organic law, it is not a sovereign power. The sovereignty of a Territory remains in abeyance, suspended in the United States, in trust for the people when they become a State, and caunot be withdrawn irom the hands of the trustee and vested in the people of a Teritory without the con sent of Congress." The report which he made in the same month from the Senate Committee on Territories, is equally distinct, and rather more emphatic a gainst his new doctrine : "This committee in .their reports have always held that a Territory is not a sovereign power; that the sovereignty of a Territory is in abeyance, sus pended in the United States, in trust for the people when they becomp a State; that the United States, as trustees, cannot be divested of the sovereignty, nor the Territory be invested with the right to as sume and exercise it, without the consent of Con gress. If the pioposition be true that sovereign pow er alone can institute governments, and that the sovereignty of a Territory is in abeyance, suspen ded in the United States, intrust for the people when they become a State, and that the sovereignty cannot be divested from the hands ol the trustee without the assent of Congress, it follows, as an inevitable consequence, that the Kansas Legislature did not and could not onfer upon tbe Lecompton convention the sovereign power of or daining a constitution for the people of Kansas, in place of the organic act passed by Congress." The days are past and gone when Mr. Douglas led the fiery assaults ol the opposition in the Lecompton controversy. Then it was his ob ject to prove that a Territorial Legislature, so far from being omnipotent, was powerless even to authorize an election ol delegates to consid er about their own affairs, it was asserted that a convention chosen under a Territorial law could make and ordain no constitution which would be legally binding. Then a Territorial government was to be despised and spit upon, even when it invited the people to come forward and vote on a question of the most vital impor tance to their own interests. But now ail things have become new. The Lecompton dispute has "gone glimmering down the dream of things Ibat were," and Mr. Douglas produces another issue, brand new from the mint. The old opin ions are not worth a rush to his present position, it must be sustained by the opposite principles and reasoning totally different. The Legisla ture of Kansas was not sovereign when it au thorized a convention of the people to assemble and decide what sort of a constitution they would have, but when it strikes at their rights of property, it becomes not only a sovereign but a soverign without limitation of power.— We have no idea that Air. Douglas is uot per fectly sincere, as he was also when he took the other side. The impulses engendered by tbe heat ol controversy have driven him at different limes in opposite directions. We do not charge it against him as a crime, but it is true that these views of his, mconsitent as thev are with one another, al way to accord "with the interests of the opposition, always give to tbe enemies ofthe Constitution a certain amount of "aid and comfort", and always add a little to the rancorous and malignant hatred with which the aboliiitionists regard the government of their own country. Yes : the Lpcompton issue which Mr. Douglas made upon the Administration two years ago is done, and the principles on which we were then ! opposed are abandoned. We are no longer rc : quired to fight for the lawfulness of a Territo -1 rial election held under Territorial authority I Rut another issue* is thrust upon us, to "distort the harmony and threaten the integrity" oftht party. A few words more, (perhaps of tediou repetition,) byway ot showing what that new issue is, or probably will be, and we are done. We insist that an emigrant going into a Fed eral Territory, retains his title to the properfj which he took with him, until there is somi prohibition enacted by lawful authority. Mr Douglas cannot deny this in the lace of Ins New Orleans speech, and the overwhelming reason which support it. it is an agreed point among all Democ rati that Congress cannot interfe re with the right: of property in the Territories. It is also acknowledged that the people of : new State, either in their constitution or in at act of their Legislature, may make the negroe: within it free, or hold them in y state ofservi tude. But we believe more. We believe in sub nutting to the law, as decided by the Supremt Court, which declares that a Territorial Legis lature cannnot, anny more than Congress, in terfere with rights of property in a Territory— that the settlers ot a Territory are bound to wail until the sovereign power is conferred upon them, with proper limitations, before they at tempt to exercise the most dangerous of all it! functions. Mr. Douglas denies this, and then: is the.'new issue. Why should such an issue be made at such a time ? What is there now to excuse any friend of peace for attempting to stir up the'bitter wa ters of strife? There is no actual difficulty a bout this subject in any Territory. There is nu question upon it pending before Congress or the country. We are called upon to make a con test, at once unnecessary and hopeless, with thejudicial authority of the nation. We object to if. We will not obey Mr. Douglas when he commands us to assault the Supreme Court ot the United States. We believe the court to be right, and Mr. Douglas wrong. TBB BEDFORD GAZETTE.

Com. O. E. SHANNON, Chairman. ICP'The Democratic meeting at BUENA VJSTA, has been changed to Saturday evening, Oct. I. GEN. COFFROTH, of Somerset, one of our candidates for the Legislature, is expected to be present to address the meetings at Schelis -1 burg and Buena Vista. jrnGE BLACK AND THE PRESIDENCY- The newspapers anil politicians of all parties, re j jiistnow busily employed in seeking out candidate' lor the Presidency. 1 here is no good to be derived, neither by the aspirants whose n iraes are brought before the public, nor by the party to which they belong, from this indecent haste in pushing forward and multiplying candidates. Still, the indication ol individual preferences, will not harm any body, and we, therefore, hope to be pardoned for making known, at this early day, our own choice among the distinguished gentlemen named in connexion wtth the next Democratic nomination for President. We are for JEREMIAH S. BLACK, of Pennsylvania. We believe, with a cotemporary, that Pennsylva nia must be carried by the Democratic nominee in IS6O, in order to secure his election. We believe further, that Judge Black is the man to carry Penn sylvania. He has already been twice before the people of our State, as a candidate, and the popular voice each time responded in his favor in the most emphatic manner. In 18-'> l, he was elected a Judge of the Supreme Court, by a larger majority than that obtained by any other of the five successful candi dates for that office, in IS-lt, when POLLOCK, K. N. was elected Governor by a majority of 40,000, Judge Black was a candidate for re-election as Judge of the Supreme Court, and was again successful by an over whelming vote. Such was his popularity that it burst in sunder the bonds of Know Nothingism, and swept before it like chaff, the oaths, the ritual, the pass-words and all the paraphernalia of that redoubt able order. Since Judge Black's imfurtion in the office which he now fills, he has made himself hosts of friends in every section of the Uffion. The un flinching defender of the Constitutional rights of the South, hejhas in more than one .nstance shown himself the true friend of the North. The vigorous and un compromising opponent of the sale of the Pennsyl vania canals, he has won golden opinions from all parties for his staunch political integrity. The e qual l'riend of every citizen, his recent decision in the expatriatioh question, or the rights of naturali zed citizens in the country of their birth, has made him a great and glorious name among ouradoptej citi zens. On account of this last, wo confidently be lieve that Judge Black could carry more Western states than any other candidate, la the event of his nomination a direct issue could be made betwoen the liberal opinions of Judge Black on the natural ization question and the proscriptivc Two Years' Amendment of the Massachusetts Republicans* On that issue, his triumph would be certain. But it is not solely for considerations of expedien cy, that we have made choice of JUDGE BLACK. He is no mere politician no trader in party wares —no buyer and seller of votes by newspaper clap trap and speech-making humbug. He is one of the few ntatesmen of the present day. who have kept their political garments free from the stains of the demagogue and the trimmer. His clanm are far a bove those of mere availability. They consist in his life-long, radical Democracy—in his high-toned and unselfish patriotism—in his great intellectual abili ty and the eminent soundness and vigor of his 6tates- rnanship. We have thus briefly announced our favorite a mong the candidates at present spoken of in con nexion with the nomination at Charleston. We have made this announcement, not in a spirit of dictation to the Democracy of this county, but merely as our own individual sentiment. We shall always abide by the will of the majority, and we shall support the nominee of the Charleston Con vention, be he Judge Black, or any other good and tiue Democrat. HF*The editor of this paper takes great pleasure in informing his Abolition slanderers that he has a fraid to refer. 13 WQftyß&fS Yo all wlfd are acquainted with the history of polities in Bedford and Somerset counties since 1556, and the Abolition- Know Nothing wire-workers of Bedford borough, are welcome to all the capital they can rr.ake of it, whether by misrepresentation, or any other fraud upon the public. That we became a Democrat "because the delegates belonging to the iloman Catholic sect from the state of Louisiana, were ad mitted as members of the American Convention which nominate.l Millard Fillmore," is such a pal pable falsehood thatptis scarcely worth while to re fute it. It is ahe out of the whole tloth , and was fabricated expressly to screen Mr. JOHN TAY LOR'S unrenoitnetd Know Nothingisrn, so as to give him an opportunity to electioneer with persons belonging to the Catholic church. Ii we ever said any thing about the Catholic delegation from Louisiana, it was that the so-called American party were inconsistent in admitting delegate* into their Convention whom they WERE ijWOKN TO EX CLUDE; but we never gave that as a reason, either publicly or privately, for becoming a member of the Demociatic party. We have always maintained that religious freedom—the privilege to worship Ood according to the dictates of a man's own consci ence—is an inalienable right ol every human being. Jn our humble way we have advocated this doctrine in the news-paper and on the stump, ever since we have taken an active part in politics. Jfany there be who doubt our sincerity on this subject, and who are willing to believe the falsehood! uttereJ against us by electioneering demagogues,*re can on ly admire their remarkable l'ar-sightedness on the one hand and their blissful credulity on the other. CJp'The Abolitionists complain of our re minding their, of the promises they nade last fall, that if their party were they would put an end to the "Hard Times." They say Mr. McPherson, their Congressman, has not yet taken his seat. Very true. Hut they asked the people to vote not only for McPher son but for Gee. VV. Williams and their whole ticket, on the plea of "better times." The peo ple are now asking the question, what has Mr. Williams done to improve the "hard times ?" U5 = *The game of brag has been commenced, by the Abolitionists, as usual, to frighten the tim id into voting their ticket. The fact is they are ilread/ully scared and are trying to whistle to keep their courage up. They know that some of their best men have deserted thein since last tall, and that the disgusting conduct oI Geo* W. Williams in the last Legislature, is even now driving many oftheir adherents from theirrauks. Their doom is sealed. (Tr'W'e call attention to the able review of Senator Douglas' views on "Popular Sovereign ty" as expressed in a recent article in Har pers' Magazine, published in our issue of to day. It is said to have been written by Judge Black, which we are not at all inclined to doubt, as it certainly bears the stamp of a powerful intellect. Let every one read it. [GP"The Valley Spirit hoists the name of JEREMIAH S. BLACK, tor President. MiLIKRISM t:XTRAORHISARY Our readers are, doubtless, well aware that there is a sect in some of the Eastern states, called Millerites. They have a prophet, or a son ola prophet, or several prophets, or several sons ot prophets, by whom the end of the world is tore told with remarkable accuracy, every year or two. We believe their last prophecy fixed the time tor the eternal smash of all things terrestri al, in June last. But to the great regret of Tel egraph companies and newspaper reporters, "auld nature" utterly refused to he annihilated, according to the programme of the Millerites. Are the people of Bedford county cognizant of the astounding fact that they have a seer in their midst whose prophetic outgivings far ex ceed in truthfulness anu correctness, the infalli ble predictions of Millerism f If not, let them turn to the columns of the Bedford Abolition or gan, in its issues immediately preceding the e lections of 'SG, '57, and 'SB, and to an article contained in the last number, in which the prophecy is regularly made, in four "equal annual'' guesses, that the Democracy would be defeated in this county. What a gifted prophet Mr. Jordan is! "A Daniel! A second Daniel !" not "come to judgment," but to prophesy! Hadn't the Opposition better add Millerism to their Know-Nothingism, Black-Republicanism, Abolitionism, Amalgamationism, and the vari ous other isms that adorn their creed ? THE SYMPATHY GAME. One of the electioneering tricks of GEO. W. WILLIAMS, is to write letters to Somerset tn the effect that the Democrats ot Bedford county are trying to get votps for MR. GUMP at the expense of Gen. Cofiroth. By circulating this falsehood in Somerset county, he thinks he can bamboozle some Democrats there into dropping Mr. Gump. He knows that his niqqerism is unpalatable to the people, and he must sugar coat it some-how in order to get the old Silver Gray Whigs and Straight-out Americans to swallow it. Mr. Williams also tries his hand at the sympathy game. He has an article pub lished in his Somerset organ, setting forth that Gen Colfroth is trying to defeat him on local grounds, doubtless thinking this would have the effect of geffing him some votes in jthis county, for local reasons. Mr. Williams' plans are very shrewd, but he will find that the people of this Legislative district are not fools enough to be caught by his trickery. •'The best laid plans of mice and men, Gang aft agley." n"jr*"TliO wit of the Somerset Herald When arriving at about the age of twelve ■ years, she was led, through the influence of her pious grandmother, to seek the Saviour. She at . length rested in hope, for, as yet, her evidence of acceptance was neither direct nor clear. She now connected herself with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which 3he ever afterward ■ continued a most devoted and exemplary mem ber. Her opportunities, however, at this pe riod, for attendance upon the means of grace, were limited, so that for some years she coutin ! ued to grope her way in compaiative darkness, ' neither enjoying nor knowing the fullness of her ' privelege as a child of God.—She has often since 1 trnarteen, mai, nau sne in muse nines euj^yea, - as she afterward did, the privileges of the class room and love feast, she had not so long con tinued in a state of anxious uncertainty, sing ing, as the mother of the Rev. John Wesley so long did, i "Thou great mysterious God unknown, Whose love hath gently led me on, E'en from my infant days ; Mine inmost soul expose to view, And tell me if 1 ever knew Thy justifying grace." Soon after her marriage, however, and while listening to a sermon from the Rev. James Sew ell, of the Baltimore Annual Conference, she was enabled to enter into the rest of faith—re alizing the purport of that scripture which saith, "He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness in himself." Then and there the Spirit itself first witnessed with her spirit that she was a child of God, putting "a new song in to her mouth," even this: ".My God is reconciled, His pardoning voice t hear, He owns me for his child, 1 can no longer fear; With confidence I now draw nigh, And Father, Abba, Father cry." From that day till the day of her death, she was a most uncompromising advocateol the doctrine of the direct witness of the Spirit, and those who knew her best, know that she was too good, intentionally todecei VP, and too scripturally inteligent, to have been mistaken. Mrs. Reamer's inteligence upon religious subjects was much more than ordinary ; her in tellect wa9 clear and inquiring; she read much —heard attentively—thought closely. She was thus theoretically intelligent. Besides this she was deeply experienced in those direct manifestations of the Deity scripturally promi sed to the human soul, and which impart to it, such additional clearness and correctness in reference to the true character of the Divine At tributes. One of the disciples inquired of the Saviour, "Lord, how is it that thou wilt mani fest thyself unto us as thou dost not unto the world?" As yet, that Disciple had not exper imentally learned, for the fullness of the Spirit had not yet been given ; Mrs. Reamer, howev er, understood this, for she had experienced it. Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us."Mrs. Reamer prayed not thus, but did, indeed, upon one occasion, venture to pray with Moses, "Show me, I beseech thee, thy glory." And, as that servant of the Lord was permitted, by special privilege, and by special manifestation , to look upon the miider rays of the Divine "Goodness," (for more than this he could not endure and live,) so was she—with this difference, however, that while this special manifestation was made to Moses, natural vis ion—with her, it was made to her spiritual per ceptions, and so overpowering was it at the time, as she afterward professed, that she was fairly burdened with almost unendurable transports. It was Mrs. Reamer's experience then, as a Christian, which more especially, gave to her those unusually enlarged ana striking views of the Divine Attributes, for which she was so remarkable, and is tbe key to her special appre ciation of, and delight in, the character of the Deity. How often would she say, "I so love and adore him for what he is in himself; He is so glorious—He is so good—He is so holy—He is so just—even in his justice He is so good—so holy—O, how I delight in his character."

Some eight years alter this, or in 1844, she removed with her lamily to the Borough of Bedford, where she departed this life, Aug 27, 1859, aged 6S years, S months and 3 days. In the character ol tiie departed, £0 many excellencies met, and their blending was so harmonious and beautiful, that, to overrate her woith, would be difficult indeed.
