VOLUME 56. NEW SERIES. NEW AGRICULTURAL SETTLEMENT, TO ALL WANTING FARMS, A RARE OPPORTUNITY IN A DELIGHTFUL AND HEALTHY CLIMATE 25 MILES SOUTH EAST OF PrHLADELPH 'A, ON THE CAM DEN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD, NEW JERSEY. An old estate consisting ot several thousand of acres of productive soil has been divided into Farms of various size s to suit the purchaser. A popula tion of some rt/ter* Hundred from various parts of the middle State? and New England have settled there the pa-t year, improved their places, and W The price of the land i s at the low sum of from sls to S2O per acre the soil of the best quality for the production o H/w . rimer.

Crops of grain, grass and fruit are now growing and can he seen By examining the place itself, a correct judgment can be formed of the productiveness of the land. The terms aie made easy to secure the rapid improvement of the land,, which is only sold lor actual improvement. The result has been, that within the past year, so me three hundred houses have been erected, two mills, one steam, four stores, some forty vinyards and peach orchards, planted, and a large number of other improvements, making it a desirable and active place of business. THE MARKET, as the reader may perceive from its location, is the BEST IN THE UNION, Productsoringing double the p'ice than in loca tions away from the city, and more than double the price in the West. It is known that the earliest and best fruits and vegetables in this latitude come from New Jeisey, and are annually exported tolhe extent of millions. In locating here, the settler has many advantage. He is within a few hours ride of the great cities of New England and Middle country tcltcre every im proiem ut of comfort and civilization is at hand.— He can boy every article he wants at the cheapest price, an I sell his produce for the highest, (fin tie West this is reversed,) he has ?cboois for IBs chil dren, divine service, and will enjoy an open winter, and delightful climate, wi ■■ le fevers are utterly un known.

Bricks from the brick yard opened in the place, every article can be procured ill the place; good carpenters are at ! and, and there is no place in the Union where buildings and im provement can be made cheaper. The reader will at once be struck wi*h the advantage? here presented, and ask himself why the property has not been taken up before.

The worth of this Union to ourselves and the world oi mankind is infinitely beyond price.— No powers of arithmetic, no mathematical ge nius, however cultivated, can figure out the intrinsic value of this Union to ourselves and to the race. The eyes ot the civilized world, are upon us to-day. Fixed and steady is that gaze that comes from every quarter of the globe ; it seems just to hover, iu its burning look, upon this galaxy of States. The nations of mankind are watching us with especial interest, because we are engaged in working out the great, mo mentous proolern of self-government. The fin ger of sco.-n has been pointed ; Ibepen of the opponents of republics has been dipped long and deep, and has dashed rapidly across the page, declaring the impossibility of our suc cess. It has long been mv fixed opinion that the monarchies of Europe and especially England, were jealous of us. It is possible that in this we may be mistaken ; but the old adage tiiat '•actions speak more loudly than words," comes in to our assistance. When small in size and voung in vears, we escaped from under the op pressive dominion of that government : and in | despite of her armies, her navy, her wealth, we moved on with the strength ot an infant giant, I and hurled from our necks, shook from our j hands, burst from our feet, eveiy badge and fet ter of political bondage, and stood up lreemen ! —freemen before the universe. Subsequently, ' insult added to injury, roused the heart of the j young giant, and brought him into renewed conflict with his former oppressor. That at tempt to crush us failed, as fiad the previous at tempt. Why did the first fail ? Because the heart of our nation was infused with the spirit of the Bible and pat riot ic unity. Why did the second fail 1 Because the increased multiplied States of this Repuolic felt that they were bound together by hooks of eternal steel as one man they met the enemy, I hey conquered, they tri umphed. The invading foe, with fallen crest, were commanded to return to their shores and let us alone. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER IG, 1859. This spirit of jealousy is, we think, manifest: and the monarchies, the despotisms of Europe can to-day see no hope of triumphing over this Western Continent in any other way than by breaking us to pieces. Ttiey cannot break us; but we can break ourselves. The combined armies and navies of the whole three continents are not equal to the task of severing this Union i if we be irud to ourselves. Seeing then, no hope,other than by dividing j us against ourselves, our adversaries are apt, as ' a matter of course, to seize hold ol that where by they most readily engender strife—make us | sectional lift the heart from the great ark ol ! the covenant of the Union, and put it down in a little spot here and a little spot there. Hence it is you find England particularly, most imper tinently officious in attempting to interfere with our institutions. Her press, her pulpits, her fo rum, her Senate chamber, roil out anathemas upon u', with which they have no business.— And, as the Lord lives, it they are not careful, that arm will one day be smitten from the shoul der, in its intermeddling attempts. We area long suffering people; but, brethren, there was a point at which we found encroachment unen durable ; and t iere may be another, if we are capable of working oul the great problem of self-government, we are capable of taking care of our own institutions, whatever they may be —commercial,agricultural, domestic, civil, re religious ; we are capable of taking care of oiy own institutions, and we must be let alone. ]f, however, the enemies of republics can, by j the utmost stretch of their tunning ami iberr power, urge us on to a spirit of mutual jealousy, of anarchy, of confusion ; it they can discover, (and they think they have discovered it) ttie j means by which an entering wedge of separa- j tion may be introduced between these States,: now hound together by ten thousand filaments ot theliuman heart, and cemented bv oceans ot holy and patriotic blood—ifthey can discover how they may divide and disiupt this Union,; tfiev will doit : and when it shall be done, 1 , they will put the iron heel of despotism upon J the scattered fragments as may suit their plea- ; sure or their interest. But, 0 Cod ! that day; caDnot come, that day will never coine, if we be true to ourselves. I have no apprehensions from the malignant influence of any power, unless it be seconded by our own folly. Sometimes men tell me— "lf we should have war with England, our ene mies would burn Boston, and ourn .New lark, and burn Philadelphia, and burn Baltimore ; they will burn every city on the Atlantic t bore.' Ido not believe a word of it. That is not the kind of stuff that we are made of, to be thus burned. But we may burn ourselves. While no oTfn r hUrid TTare grasp the I; dr.i oi the hip i ot the slate, and drive the noble vessel up on the quicksands, and on the locks, we may do it. In viewing the aspect of public morality in this country, one of the most alarming signs of the times, to my mind, is tne utter indifference that septus to prevail with legird to the solem nity, value and importance of an oath. Every President, every governor, every judge, all the mayors and lawyers, and marshal!*, and justi ces of the peace, all the members ol Congress and of our respective State legislatures, are sworn solemnly before G'ul, as they w ili answer iat the great Day, to stand by the Constitution 1 and the laws of the United Stales. Tnis is the 1 oath that they take. It is no trifle. The ques tion is now, is this oath complied with? All naturalized citizens—and I want this heard, I want it understood—all natuializ'ed citizens are if possible, more solemnly bound to the Consti tution and laws of the United States by oath, than either the President, the Governor, the judge, the lawyer, or the Magistrate. For the man that comes to this country from abroad and is naturalized, first solemnly renounces allegi i ance to the Government under which he was | born, solemnly declares his abandonment of that Government, and then solemnly swears, or affirms before the great > AM, that tie will main tain the Constitution and laws of the United States. I ask, then, are our ofbcial men faithful to j their oath ? What do they swear? They i swear to stand by the Constitution and laws of | the United States. What do tiie Constitution and the laws require? It is your business to know, if, as an adopted citizen of this Repub lic, you have not examined them that you may know what those laws teach, and what are your duties in regard tolhem. The Constitution is the compact. It does not j belong to the .\orth nor to the South, to the i Cast nor to the West. It is the covenant, my brethren, between the States of this Union ; 1 and while that Constitution remains as it is and | what it is, you are bound by it. You may possibly say to me: "But lam na tive born. I never took the oath of fidelity to j the Constitution and the laws." But, my bro | ther, your birthright holds you to that f'-onstilu tion as solemnly as the oath which binds the a dopted citizen. You are born under its obliga tions. Being born here, you are bound to obey the Constitution arid the laws. No man has a right to set them aside. Now, for example, the Constitution most pos itively and absolutely—in the plainest and rnosi unmistakable manner—provides that a fugitive from labor, escaping from one State into another shall be delivered up. This is the Constitution, j I am not to-day touching slavery, right or j wrong. lam looking at things as they are. j This is the provision of the Constitution. If, | then, the President or Governor, the judge, the j lawyer, or the magistrate, the citizen, (native born or adopted)does not comply with that pro- j vision, when it is within his jurisdiction to do ; so—if he connives at its evasion, if he aids or i abets the fugiiive in his flight, lie is before hea ven a perjured man, aud the waters of the ocean could not wash out the slain. With regard to the fugitive slave law, it is not my purpose to say whether that is n right j law or a wrong law. But it is the liw of the i Freedom of Thought and Opinion. land. It was enacted by a majority ot our rep resentatives ; it received the signature of the President. It became a law. Every public of. ficer is bound to obey it. Every adopted citi zen, is, by his solemn oath, made when he re ceived the rights and privileges of an American citizen, bound to obey it. If the Constitution is wrong, the people who made the Consiitution have the right and the power, acting through the legitimate means, to alter it. If the Fugi tive Slave Law is wrong, with the people rests the law making power ; and thank God, they have the tight, acting through their representa tives, to repeal that or any other law. Rut no individual man has a right to ignore that law while it is the law, you and I and all the citi zens of this country are bound by it. If, there lore, we, as President, or judge, or lawyer, or magistrate, or naturalized citizen, aid or abet, countenance or encourage, the violation of that law, or wink at its evasion, we are perjured. I defy mortal man to contradict this. If it he not so, law is worthless, and an oath is a bagatelle. Unless an oath is to have some rolemnity and obligation, unless the Constitution and the laws are to have s>me bin ling force, we may as well throw up the game and let all go. After these genera! prefatory remarks, I now take up that question ot questions, "Can this Union he perpetuated I" I answer yec. Ry what means then ? By faking the Bible far our rule. This as I have intimated, is the sheet anchor of our hope. If this be faithfully watch ed and guarded, the ship of State need fear no peril. The winds may blow, the political sea | .nay rage, the wrathful waves may mount, the S po nieat heavens mav gather blacknes , theNigh'- niiigs may flash, and the thunder-bolts may be i da-bed down, but I tell you, my brethren, il this Bible be followed, strictly, prayerfully, earnestly, no storm tha* earth or hell may raise, no tempest that crowned heads or despotic scep tres can invoke, will ever throw our ship upon the lee shore or put out the light of this Ameri can Union. ; In considering the means by which this re | public is to be preserved, 1 would remark, in ; ihe tirst place, that government is of Divine ap ; pointment. If we turn to the 13f h chapter of ' the Epistle to the Romans we shall iind this j question definitely and absolutely settled. We •there read : "Let every soul be subject unta the higher powers" (the civil authorities) "for there is no power but of God ; the powers that be are ordained of G >d." God has appointee civii government. I saytnot that God has giver us absolutely any s pecitic form of government i dosay, 1 learlesslv say, that the men whe claim sfie Divine right ot king-i, claim a rigtv which God gave in His wrath. God did give s king to Israel, but God gave him in his wrath 'i.Vy t.owev;-,. > merely by the way. In a government of the people, the laws ar< of th'ir own selection. We are subject to a Constitution ordained by ourselves. Toe for mation of that Constitution was an object o long solicitude, to wise heads and noble hearts You remember that those large minded patriot: in the Constitutional Convention expended upon their task five weeks ot anxious thought and consultation, vet a satisfactory issue seemed still far distant; no daylight appeared to break upon them. Then Franklin, (though fie has been suspected of rather skeptical views on the sub ject of religion) made his grand proposition.— He rose and said that the Convention had been laboring in the dark, trving to get along alone ; lie desired that they should gel some light from God, and proposed that prayer should he offered. The proposition was adopt edj; and if 1 recollect lignt, in three (Jays after that, the Constitution of the United States was completed and sign ed. The next point I would notice is the duty that all men owe to the Government.—Every citizen of our country, whether an official man or unofficial, whether native born or adopted, owes allegiance to the Constitution and laws of the United States, as lie does also to the Con stitution and laws of his respective State, and to the municipal authorities. In this great compact, as citizens, we are bound. Obedience to the legal authorities is not a mere matter of option. We may not say, "I will do as I please; I will obey, or not obey, as suits mv wishes or mv convenience." You are bound, my brethren. The official man is bound by his oath: the adopted citizen is bound by nis oath: the native born citizen is bound by his immuta ble birthright. \Vli3t are the teachings of the Bible as to the duty which all men owe to the Government? The great teacher, the grand Reformer, the mighty Missionary from the skies, who made Judea's hills resound with the eloquence of his sentiments and the divinity of his doctrine, was on one occasion applied to by some persons who were anxious to ensnare him. "Is it lawful, said the\, "to give tribute to Caesar? 'Jesus was j amenable to Csesar's laws. Had the son of God answered "no" instantly the charge of trea son would have been b r ought against hun. But lie, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto lln-m, "Whv tempt ye me? Bring me a penny, that I may see it," and they brought it. And he said unto them, "Whose is this image and superscription"' And they said unto him "Caesar's." What then did Jesus sav?" Did he say, "Never mind Caesar; Caesar is a tyrant: his laws are not worthy of obedience; pay, or not pay, then fight ?"—Did Jesus say that? Not a word of it.—"Jesus answering, said unto them, "Render to Ca-sar the things that are CasaiN, and to God the things which a;e God's. In the teachings of Jesus Christ, fherp is, you perceive, no interference with the civil in stitutions of the land—no attempt to excite the people to riot or bloodshed. —Christ says in ef fect, "Go meet the claims of the Government; you may not like it, but you are under it, and you are bound to it.' The Constitution and laws of this country are made by ourselves. He may not be en tirely satisfied witlu ibem; it so, lher.e is a le gitimate and orderly mod? by ;w hich Jbey ca be altered. The adopted citizen has no light | to complain if our Constitution and laws . But it our institutions are to be kept from peril, the parent or the ''uardian, the father and the mother must inst.ucl ttieir children in the prin ciples of the Bible—honor.integiitv. patriotism lave oi country and love ot the tace. Do not set vour children an evil example: do not inflame j them with passion, and darken their minds with prejudice; do not jbring them up to hate their fellows: but subject them to the blessed influence of this gospel. It is only necessary that we /allow (he in structions of the Bible. As I believe in the ex istence of a God. 1 believe that this book— whatever it may be to other people and to o ther ppopje and to other nations —I believe that this open, free, untrammelled Bible is as I have said, the sheet anchor oi my blessed country. I have no other panacea to present. Again, we have the duties of master and ser vant clearlv set iorth. "Servants to be obedi ent to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in single ness of your heart, as unto Cluist; not with eye service, as men plpaser.-, but as the servants ol Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service as to the Lord, and not to men; knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive ol the Lord, whether he be bond or free. .And ye masters, do the same unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in Heaven: neither is there respect of persons with Him." This is the teaching of the Holy Ghost, remember. There is no State in this nation, there is no country in this nation, there is no township in this nation, where I would not stand up as God Almighty's minister, and preach these doctrines of His Gospel, whether men would hear or forbear. J would preach the du ties ot the master, just as I would those of the parent, or the husband, or the wile, I would sav, "Sir, vou are bound by the God who made vou to treat that servant kindlv and honorably, and provide faithfully for his needs." The master is bound by the very same Gospel thai binds the servant. ] do not go into the question AS to HIP legii lv the moral right, tin* religious right, of tin'f things are here; these things existed in the days of Jesus Christ. Whatever is wrong, this (ios pei will correct. It we carry out it.- great doc trines we shall have peace. Are we all conscientiously impressed with this sacred obligation to obey the Constitution and the laws'? We must remember that if we disregard this obligation, we become guilty be fore God aod man. If any ci'izen directly or indirectly violates the Coustdniion and laws, whether by his own acts or hv abetting others, he is in such proportion destroying his title to - tam, who was in the habit, when time hung heavy on his his hands, of occupying it by working at embroidery, was one afternoon engaged upon a red flower, and being anxious to finish it, prolonged his labor until twilight came on, and he found it difficult to select the suitable colors. To obtain more light, he went into the companion way, and then continued his work. While thus taxing his eves, his power of d.stinguishing colors suddenly vanish ed. He went upon deck, hoping that an in crease of light would restore his vision. In vain. Prom that time to the present, more than ten years, he has remained color blind.— Mr. White Cooper, who brought this case to notice, says that, after the great Exhibition of 1 Sf> I, several instances came under his notice ill which the sensibility ot the retina wa3 temporarily blunted by t he excitement to which it was exposed in that brilliant scene. ATTEMPT TO BURN THE WASHINGTON PENI TENTIARY.— A most daring attempt was made on Saturday night to burn the U. S. Penitenti ary at Washington, which was happily frus trated through the loyalty of the convicts and the vigilance and courage of the officers. The plot was laid by George Nelson, a discharged convict, whose term of sentence expired on the *24th,ult. He had tried to persuade another convict named Kelly, to assist him, which was refused. He, however, entrusted his plans to Kellv, and on Saturday night at the hour na med, appeared at the east wall and attempted to get over and set the out-builuings on fire. Kel ly had previously divulged the plan, and when it was attempted, Nelson and an accomplice were taken, the former being shot in the back, during the scuffle that pnsued.
