THE BEDFORD GAZETTE. Bedford, Jan. £7, ? *6O. 3. F. Keyers, Editor. ""DEMOCRATIC MEETING. The Democrats of Bedford county, are re spectfully requ.-j.tect to assemble in .Mass .Meet ing, at 'hp Court House, in Bedford, on Mon day evening of Court week, Feb. 13th, IS6O, tor the purpose of selecting 'delegates to ttie coming Democratic State Convention and to transact suchv!her business as may come be fore them. A large attendance is desired. Thp conservative and Consfrtotion-loving men of other parties are invited to attend. By order of th>- Democratic Co. Com. O. E. SHANNON, Chairman. TERRITORIAL SOVEREIGNTY. The doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, as enunciated in the Cincinnati Platform, means the- power of the people of the Territories to control their own affairs, and mould theii own institutions, "in their own way," subject only to the Constitution of the United States. This point is undisputed. There can be no question, about it. But there seyms to be some difft r ence of opinion between leading Democrats as te whether the Constitution prohibits the people of the Territories from deciding the question whether, or not, negro slavery shall exist within the Territory. It is not disputed by either side that the people of the Territory have lbs right to determine this question for them selves when they come to form their constitu tion, preparatory to their admission into the Union as a State. Neither is it contended by either party that slaves cannot lawfully bi taken into the Territories and hehi there a: property. The 'difference, howevpr, consist: in this, that Senator Douglas and those who cm incide with him, maintain that though The slave-holder may take his slaves into the Territories, he can hold them there only at the wrtl of the Territorial Legislature, which by indirect, unfriendly enactments, cr by positive prohibition, can exclude slavery from the Territory ; whilst, on the other hand, Presi dent BUCHANAN and, we may safely say, the great mass of the Democrats, hold that the Territories, being the common property of all the States, purchased equally by ihe blood and treasure of the South and of the North, are open alike to emigrants from all the States, o have the right to take with them into the Territories, and own and enjoy there, whatevecis recogni zed as property in any of the States; and that the question of slavery can be decided only when the people form their constitution with the view to ask admission into the Union.— Flence, it will be perceived, that the only practi cal difference between the disagreeing parties, is a* to the lime when the people of the Territo ries have the power to decide the slavery ques tion. Senator JDouglas takes the position that the people of the Territories, through their representatives in the Legislature, can at any tine abolish slavery. President Buchanan declares that this can only be done when the people of the Territories come to form their State Government, in as much as the Supreme Court of the United States has decided that negro slavery exists in the Territories so long as they remain such, by virtue of the Constitu tion. We'bave thus particularly and careful ly stated the difference between Douglas and the President, not that we intend to argue the point at issue, but because it may be made a bone of contention before the coming State Convention, and because we desire our readers clearly and fully to understand it. The whole slavery question i 3 an abstraction, and cannol be made of any practical benefit to the country though it may do infinite damage, and whilst we agree entirely with the views of the Presi dent on the subject of Territorial Sovereignty and shall look <o the State Convention for £ hearty endorsement ol the National Acministra lion, we believe, at the same time, that! then need be no controversy in that body on the present disagreement between Senator Douglai and President Buchanan. Our opinion is thai the Convention should dispose of the subject o slavery in the Territories, by simply aying thai they are the common domain iff all the States .and that whatever is property by law in an\ of the States, may be taken, held and enjoyet there by the owner, and if any of the rights of property shall, according to the judg went of the proper tribunal , be in any way infracted, or annulled, it is the duly of th* General Government to see that such lights be restored and protected. This would make BR whole subject of slavery in the Territories a question for the Court*, and would take it alto gether out of the arena of politics. Under our constriction of the decision in Ihe Dred Scotl case, it would not be necessary to bring this subject again before the Judiciary. We believe that that decision is conclusive in favor of Mr. Buchanan, and that under it slave-holders are guarantied the right touhold (heir property in the Territories until a State Constitution pro hibits them from so doing. But there are those who differ from us, alleging that the question cf Territorial Sovereignty was not before the Court in Ihe Dred Scott case. For this cause and for the further reason that we believe it will thoroughly harmonize the party, we say 1-t the settlement of this question be left to the Court". £_ ill/"" Robinson,of Fulton county, has been appointed Revenue Commissioner for this judicial district. Judge Robinson is well qualified for the position to which he has been appointed and will, doubtless, perform the duties of the otfice with satisfaction to every part of the district.

The election of General Bowman as Senate Pr'nter, is a matter of sincere gratification to his old friends and neighbors in Bedford. ihe persistent and violent opposition which he had to encounter, makes his triumph doubly glori ous. His election is a thorough vindication from'the slander and obloquy which were heap ed upon him. The highest legislative body known to our government, has honorably acquitted him of the charges preferred against j him, and with such a verdict, the General may well disregard the puny attacks of those *vho, through malice or envy, are-impelled to assail him. We tender him our hearty congratula tions. Local and Miscellaneous. —We are happy to inform our citizens that our artist friend, MR. VALLADE, has agreed to remain a short time longer with MR. GETTYS, for the purpose of painting Photographs in bis new and elegant style so much admired and praised by all who see his pictures. In order to give all an opportunity ot procuring one of his fine paintings, he offers them at *25 per cent less than heretofore. Persons desirous of secu ring correct likenesses, painted in the roost oeau tilul style, will please call at Gettys' Photo graphic Gallery, soon. Mr. G. has also re ceived a lot of lases which # he offers at his usual low prices. —At the recent term of the Court of Quar ter Sessions of FXilton County, the Grand Jury ignored the bill of indictment preferred against James B. Sansom, Esq., for forgery. It seems Ifthttt some of the Black Republican leaders of Fulton county, insane with rage at their defeat j last fall, attempted to revenge themselves by j prosecuting Capt. Sansom! for forgery, which | they alleged he had committed in printing cer | tain handbills which were scattered over the | county immediately preceding the late election. ! The result of their efforts, was the ignor ing of the bill by the Grand Jury and the privi lege giver, them by the Court to pay the costs |of prosecution— MOßAL: Politicians should J never try to mend their fortunes by going to j law. —Thieving, in a small way,seems to have be come a regular trade among some persons in this neighborhood. A few nights ago the dwelling of Rev. Mt. Sample, was entered and a considerable quantity of flour, a number of 1 jars of pickles, &c., taken thePefrom. We learn also that some flour was taken from the hotel of Mr. Steckman. It is said that "no thing's so hard but search will find it out," and we think a little watchfulness would soon de tect the perpetrators of these petty thefts.- They ought to have a free pass to Allegheny. —Abraham R. Craine, a worthy citizen of Bedford township, died on Friday morning last. Mr. Craine, we believe, was, at one time, Steward of the Bedford County Poor House. —The Democratic Convention of Hunting don county, has chosen Jacob Cresswell dele gate to the State Convention, with instructions to support Rreckinridge delegates to Charles ton. Hon. W. P. Schell, of this county, was selected as Senatorial delegate. —The Opposition pretend to be great friends ol specific duties, yet, when Democrats are willing to do all they can to have a tariff of such duties adopted by Congress, when, in fact, a Democratic President is the great leader in the struggle for such a tariff, these Opposition friends of specific duties, denounce them as insincere and trv to break their influence by i every means in their power. In proof ol thi.s j we refer our readers to the recent action ot t he | Opposition Legislature of this State, in so fra > ming their Tariff resolutions that no Democrat jfcould have voted for them without stigmatising j the President and dishonoring his party. —We bear that it is rumored that Governor i Packer intends to veto the Resolutions recently adopted by the Opposition members of the ; Legislature, which sustain the supporters of | SHERMAN, the endorser of the Helper book.— i We nope for the credit of Pennsylvania, this } rumor is founded in fact. Should Governor j lacker reluse to sign those Resolutions, he will ! make Iriends of hundreds, aye of thousands, j who have been politically estranged from biro. ( Pennsylvania does not recommend any such i doctrines as those .contained in the infamous publication of which SHERMAN IS the endorser, i Pennsylvania does not counsel the slaughter of i slave-holders, nor do her people believe that a man cannot be a patriot without being an Abolitionist. —Mo Speaker yet. DEATH OF ANDREW SL'OTT, ESQ. The well-known editor, critic and publisher, Andrew Scott, Eq., of Philadelphia, died at his residence in that city, on Friday morning last. It is with profound regret that we make this announcement. Mr. Scott was one of our : earliest friends, and we recall with sincere gratitude his words of encouragement when, in our boyish'days, we became a contributor for hra paprr. May he rest in peace ! The following notice of his life, appeared in a recent number of the Evening Argus : This morning at two o'clock, Andrew Scott, one ol the best practical printers and energet ic publishers, breathed his last at his residence in Ninth street, below Locust. Mr. Scott's lile was an eventful one, and of the many journalists in this city, we can remember none who was more adapted to the position that he for years so creditably filled. In early life he entered as an apprentice, the office of Chas. Alexander, at the age of nine teen he was foreman, and upon attaining his majority became a partner in the Daily Chroni cle, Alexander's Weekly Messenger, and the Job department of the estaolishment. He was not only a bold and vigorous writer and able ''maker up" of news for a weekly sheet, but was a correct and able theatrical critic.— He was adequate to any emergency, whether physical, mental, or moral, and when Andy Scott (as he was familiarly t ailed), either spoke or wrote, nis words were heard. His dramat ic articles were candid and to the point, and he never allowed either personal friendship or animosity to interfere with his ideas of correct ness. In 1844, when Burton had Mr. Hilton arres ted on a false charge, Mr. Scott wrote a bitter, [ but, at the Same time, a truthful article, and the consequence was Burton sued, Scott was 1 convicted, seat to prison, ad immediately pardoned. In 184-fi, he s-.verpd his connection with Mr. Alexander, and IS4-6 commenced the publica tion of "Scott's Weekly Paper," one of the best hehdomedals ever issued in the country.— He secured the services of the best literary people of the day : George Lippard, Howard Meek, E. C. VV. Greene, Mrs. Joseph C. Neat, R. Pi. Levering and others, himself included in his corps of contributors. In 1851, he issued a programme for a mammoth sbeet, but the proprietors of the Saturday Cc urier, J\ r eaPs Gazette., and Saturday Post combi.oed against him, and sent placards through the country that acted detrimentally to his prosp ?cs. He sued the conspirators and got judgment, and for years afterwards kept i "Scott's Weekly Paper" in a flourishing condi -1 tion. | Since t hat period JVeaPs Gazette, died out, i JilcJilakin's Courier went to the dogs, and the I Post is a fossil. In 1854- Mr. Scott, through \ mistaken kindness, assisted a wealthy publisher : in this city, and, finally became involved.— ' The publication of the Weekly was suspended, '■ althoug! i the job printing office, Xo. Hi Hud son's alley, did a lucrative business. Ia the 1 month iif September. 18.it, Mr. Scott in associa -1 li.m wi';h E. W. C. Greene, and the late Vi. G, ! Foster, started the Sunday Review. T'ie pa ' per was short-lived, and since that tir.ie Mr. i Scott has been out of business, his,heart broken. | and hi i ambition crushed by those w'no should I have been (instead of enemies) warm and ; devoted friends. i As i man Mr. Scott wis sociable and philan | thropic ; as a printer none could excel him as a publisher, was energetic : a> a master, kind : and a-r a citizen, generous. To his apprentice boys be was a guardian more than a master, and he who wrote this paragraph can attest to the interest he took in our welfare.

SOHOOL DISTURBANCES AT SANDWICH —Tut BEAUTIES OF PRACTICAL ABOLITIONISM. —The negro disturbances which were ailuded to ii; our issue of. yesterday, were not overrated in importance., as is confirmed by subsequent advi ces, while the extent of the agitation was mucl: gnlater than was at the time surmised. Line ga rd to the -fiendish transaction enacted at An dei don, ha it of the truth was not told. Officer! ari still in. pursuit of the rescued crimnals, and great indignation prevails throughout the whole v icinity, so that, if they are caugiit and deliv ered into the hands of the populace, they will be severely dealt with. At Chatham, forty miles from this city, s crowd composed of several hundred negroes took possession of the public school houses ear .iy on Monday morning, and, when th? whitt teachers and arrived, refused lo allow them to enter or in any manner obtain posses . sic aof them. As there seemed to be a dispo | su ion to carry matters with a high band, the au | thorities were calltd in, but, from the fact ths 1 negroes inhabiting the town far outnumber tbe [ white citizens, there were no means available except those of conciliation. The Africans | were headed by cne TSliudd, a negro who has made himself prominent in that vicinity fbt some time, having been concerned in the for cible rescue case which occurred there twe years ago. The Mayor and Councilinen assem bled on the spot, acco ;rypanied by a majority ol [ the citizens. The wfiole town was in an up ■ roar in consequence t>f tjie warlike demonstra | tions of the negroes, and the crowd and excite | merit were consequently very great. The ne | groes demanded not enly that the schools nbouic I pe thrown open to them, but that they shoulc be allowed lo participate in their management vyhichjon account of their numbers, is equiva lent to giving them the control. The confer ence continued some 1 iours, the authoiities main taining a conciliate.ry and peaceful course, ant the negroes asserting ';heir claims with arroganci and violent demonstrations. They were final ly quieted by the assurance that their claim: should be taken into consideration, and such ar rangements made as coul.l with propriety b< brought about. This means nothing, of course as the demands ot the negroes must be compiler with or resisted. In case they are compliec with,the towr i, and as a consequence the sur tounding cou'atry, will be under their rule, ant if they are n< rt, a conflict may be expected be tween the white and black races, in which th< former will have great difficulty in maintain ing their ground, as they are in the minority There are 3 bout twenty-two hundred negrue in Chatham alone. At Sandwich, three miles below this city there was a disturbance ol the sani< I cause. The whites, in the schoo tax, assessed themselves onluHpaving the negr population out, in order thin they might no control the cause of education by their votes a the ballot-box. 'J*)e negroes were highly in censed at this, and went in a body to the poll on the occasion of the election of school officer-; determined to vote. They were resisted am driven away, and much ill-feeling and enmitr engendered. It wilt be seen by all of these indication that the negro population of our neighborly province is becoming organized and bold in it o; position to the legitimate institutions of tin country, and overbearing and insolent toward its rightful citizens. IVe may safely say tiia the hatred with which lhey are regarded in re turn is not less violent or open than their owi demonstiaiions. There are very few white living on the borders, where this fugitive rac< most congregate, so fanatic as to close their eye: to the tact that their immigration is fast tend ing towards the demoralization of the country As citizens they are worthless to the last degree while crime prevails among them lo an alar ming extent, and swells the criminal calendar: of the country with the most revolting offences Canada has nursed a viper in its bosom, whicf is now preparing to turn upon it. The horde: of blacks which have for years poured into it: bordercodnties are beginning lo feel their pow er, and, it we mistake not, will give infinite trouble pefore they are again crushed down t< their proper level. Republic*u Folly. We see by the proceeding' ol the Legislature that several days have been spent in discussing resolutions censuring the Democrats for not or ganising the House ol Representatives at Wash ington! Of ail absurd actions Oi Legislatures that we ever heard this caps the climax. These gentlemen were elected to attend to the busi ness ol the State, not ofthe .Nation—to legis late for the Slate, not to act as an advisory bo dy to Congress. Rut, admitting the subject to have been properly before them, why should the Democrats be accused of preventing the or ganization of the House at Washington ? There are not more than 90 of them in that body, while there are 111 Republicans, besides about 30 Know Nothings and others elected in oppo sition to the Democracy. If the Democrats had a majority in the body, they might he -justly censured it they failed to organize, but they are in a minority and their enemies have the ma jority. Any sensible man will see, then, who is to blame. The resolutions were resisted with energy by the Democracy in both Houses. Senator WELSH, of York, exposed the untruths they contained, as well as their falacy and absurdity, in a speech of great power. It was a closelv logical, con clusive aod brilliant argument from beginning to end, but he might as well have wasted his rhetoric on the bare walls of the capiiol, so far as the votes of the Opposition Senators were concerned. Fanaticism and Abolition disun ionism in Congress required bolstering, and the Pennsylvania Legislature was called upon to moke tho sacrifice. The virulence with which .\lr. WELSH'S, speech is attacked in the Harris hurg t'elegrapk shows that while it did not ! ffive 'Jhe Republican Senators from their fol ly, it®fell like a thunderbolt am >ngst them. JVot one of them attempted a reply, and the Telegraph labors to make up this deficiency by its usual resort to billingsgate. We know of no surer evidence of merit than the abuse of a common blackguard, and in this phase the Tel egraph j s a prolific aod perfect witness. — Clin ton Democrat. GENERAL J?EWS. . "A WILD*CAT RANK." —Two years ago a wild-cat bank failed at Gosport, Ind., leaving the amount of about $500,000 i:i the hands of the public, towards the redemption of which nothing has smce been done.—Refer ring to this fact, the Cincinnati Gazelle says: The proprietors ol that concern have, we are informed, concluded to try their han f again at the business, selecting as a location this time, however, the District of Columbia, instead ol Indiana. Arrangements have been made, we understand, for a large issue Irom Washington city, and an officer of the "institution" was in this city last week, making terms with parties to give it a "circulation." He is rather "seedy" lor a banker, but his countenance denotes that sharpness which is characteristic ol successful wini-cat speculators. Look out, then, for Dis trict of Columbia "money." A WICKED LITTLE WOMAN WITH GREEN SPECS.—One Rev. Mr. A. S. Finch publishes a card, in which he says that while attending the Brockport camp meeting, a woman, small in statuie, wearing specs, and prepossesing in ap pearance, appeared, pursued him in a carriage, told him of her esteem and how much she was worth, and induced him to marry her. He consented, the knot was tied, and she having accomplished his ruin, forsook him, probably to find another victim. Mr. Finch says she ser ved two men in the same way before; one in Canada and the other in Wisconsin; the latter is in a destitute condition. He gi VPS warning }si" sen* may not inflict similar outrages again. BOGUS HUMANITY ILLUSTRATED. Where is J/rs. Child ?—A frightful number of poor wo men—young trirls the most of them—are still lying half dead and in most excruciating ago nies in the City Hall, at Lawrence, Mass. These poor women need kind nursing and gen tle words to smooth their passage to the tomb. Where, oh ! where is Mrs. Lydia Maria Child! Can only murderers, horse hieves, and traitors stir her sympathies? Why is she not at the bed side of these ill-fated sufferers? Is it becau-e they are of her own sex? or because it is their misfortune to be white instead of black ? —.V. Express. MUTINY IN A HOUSE OF REFUGE.—A mutiny j occurred in the house of refuge at Cincinnati last Friday, during which H. M. -Jones the su ; perintendent, was stabbed in three places by a youth named M'Donald. One of the wounds, inflicted with a knife, is in the left side of the lace, jut below the jaw-bone, passing down in ,to the throat, and in ttie transit nearly severing the jugular vein. Mr. Jones is lying in a dan gerous condition. AN ALARMING ACCIDENT. —The other day in Eldred township, Jefferson county, Pa., a large pine tree, which was being cut down, tell across a school house hard by, it tu atoms. There were forty children the time, yet singular to say, only one was fatally injured. is stated in some of the daily papers that a gang of organized in Adams county, in this whose object it is to take the life of the Constable who captured Cook and returnc-d him to Harper's Ferry. If such exists, the officers of that county should ferret them out without delay, and when secured the law should show them no mercy. Allentown Democrat says there "will be six eclipses this year—two ofthe sun, two of the moon, and two of the Republican or Opposition party. The two latter will oc cur in October and November—one of which will be visible in Pennsylvania, and the othei all over the Onion." Uolloway's Pills and Ointment. —Survive or Perish. Chest Jljjlictions. —During this sea son ofthe year the terrible sacrifice of human life is -eally alarming, and the bills of mortality considerably swelled by r&ah exposure to the damp atmosphere, which received into the lunas poisons the very fount of the blood and indu ces bronchitis, pleurisy asthma and consumption, all of which may be speedily prevented by a timely recourse to Holloway's famous Pills and Ointment —no time should be IOST, the least de lay being dangerous and productive ofthe most frightful consequences. All who die with such remedies at hand are morally guilty of self-de struction. 3EDFORD LYCEUM Will meet at the Court House, on Saturday evening next at hi o'clock.

He was regarded as a most estimable man, by those who were long and intimately ac ; quainied with him. Kind and courteous in his intercourse with others, and in all the relations oi life of it reproachable character, his sudden de case is widely felt and sincerely mourned. He was a member of the Presbyterian church in Bedford. His last days were characterized by great neac of rnind and cheerful resignation to the will of Hod. He sepmed to have a clear apprehension of the plan of salvation, an l urv shaken confidence in the love and faithfulness of Christ. He repeatedly said to the writer: S"I cling to Jesus. He is my only hope. He ; will not leave me nor forsake me." ! And now, his sufferings ended, we trust fee I has entered into rest.
