GEMS FROM HELPER.
We stated in our last issue, that some of the
leaders of the so-called "Republican" party, in
this county, were busily engaged in circulating
that iafamous and detestable Abolition docu
ment, "Helper's Impending Crisis of the South.'
One of these leaders, 'Squire Oldham, ol Union
township, acted as colporteur for the Abolition
ists during Court week, and he and his carpet
bag filled with Helper, became nearly as con
spicuous, for the time being, as the razor-pow
der man with his knee-breeches and three-cor
nered coat-buttons. We have been shown one
of these books, and for the benefit of those gen
tlemen belonging to the Opposition, who „eny
that they are Abolitionists, we have noted down
a few extracts selected at random :
"Ist. Thorough organization and independent
political action on the part of the non-slave-hol
ding whites of the South.
2d. Ineligibility of pro-slavery slaveholders,
never another vote to anyjonewhojadvocates the
retention and perpetuation of human slave
ry-
3d. No co-operation with pro-slavery mer
chants— no guest-ship in slave-waiting hotels—
no fees to pro-slavery lawyers—no employ
ment of pro-slavery physicians—no audience
to pro-slavery parsons.
sth. No more hiring of slaves by non-slave
holders.
6th. Abrupt discontinuance of subscription
to pro-slavery newspapers.
7th. The greatest possible encouragement to
free white labor.
This, then, is the outline of 'our scheme for
the ABOLITION* OF SLAVERY in the South
ern States. Let it be acted upon with due
promptitude, and, as certain as truth is mighti
er than error, fifteen years will not eiapse be
fore every foot of territory, from the mouth of
the Delaware to the eraboguing of the Rio
Grande, will glitter with the jewels of fiee
*■ ' orators tell us that their party
does not intend to interfere where
it exists, and ye* here we have a deliberate plan
for the ABOLITION OF SLAVERY, endorsed
by 68 "Republican" members of Congress, and
hawked about the streets of Bedford by the lea
ders of that party. Actions speak louder tban
words, and the conduct of the "Republican"
paify, in its endorsement of the heresy and trea
son of the Helper book and in its strenuous ef
forts to inculcate the doctrines of that work £in
the minds of the people, must be conclusive ev
idence to every fair and reasonable man, that
"Republicanism" has become identical with
Abolitionism. Who can doubt it ? Who dares
dispute it 1
We make anothe- extract :
"For its truckling concessions to the slave
power, the Whig party merited defeat, and de
feated it was, and that, too, in the most decisive
and overwhelming manner."
This is a choice "morceau," and we recom
mend it most respectfully to the consideration
of those old Whigs, who in the overflow of their
good nature, assist 'Squire Oldham and his broth
er "Republicans" in their election to the offices
for which the Whigs, in the opinion of the said i
Oldham and his fellow "Republicans," suflered j
such merited defeat. Our Whig friends will i
please "stick a pin there !"
Again :
"With the intelligent Protestant element of
the Fatherland on our side, we can well afford
to dispense with the ignorant Catholic element
of the Emerald Isle. In the influences whicli
they exert on society, there is so little difference
between Slaver}', Popery, and Negro-driving
Democracy, that we are not at alt surprised to
see them going hand in hand in their diabolical
work of inhumanity and desolation."
Such are the sentiments that the Black Re
publican part}', are at present inculcating upon
the public mind. Sectional, bigoted, intolerant,
they denounce and vilify all citizens who do
not agree with them in iheir politics and their
religion. In their own opinion they are the
saints, political and religious, and all others are
heterodox anJ heretical. But still, these high
strung gentlemen (and some of them ought to
be "strung" a good deal higher than they are,)
are not so intolerant that they will not accept
Irish, Catholic, or even "negro-driving" Demo
cratic votes, when they want office, and we
have no doubt that some of them will be about
within the next three weeks, soliciting aid from
the men they stigmatise as the "ignorant Cath
olic element," and the suppoitersof the "Slave- !
power" of the South. We shall give some j
more ot Helper's gems in the future.
The Tariff.
We learn from private sources, that it is the j
object of the Opposition members of Congress
to stave off the adoption of a higher tariff, so as
to throw that question into the canvass for Pres
ident. How hypocritical! If, as Itie Opposi
tion say, a higer tariff is necessary for 'tie gooff
of the country, why delay its passage ' Now
is the accepted time. It Pennsylvania does not
get "specific duties" on coal and iron, ffnring
the present session of Congress, the chances are
tjjjpt she will never get them ; for alter the Pres
idential battle is (ought, the Opposition will not
say "Tariff," or "specific duties," ouce. Mark
the prediction !
The people will not be deceived by resolu
tions of Opposition meetings, nor by the action of
members of the legislature who under pretence
of favoring a higher Tariff, strike at the Presi
deot'sinfluence lu favor of such a Tariff, and pre
vent, with malice aforethought, the Democratic
members from supporting Tariff resolutions.
Their trickery is too palpable, and "he who
runs may read it."

"REPUBLICAN" SECTIONALISM.
A great out-cry was raised by the Black Re

partiality for that portion of the Union. Be

We are indebted to GEO. W. WILLIAMS, Esq.,
lor a copy of the annexed Bill lor the sale of
the Bedford County Poor House, recently in
troduced in the Lower House of the State Le-,
gislature. The lite hour at which it was re

The Negroes in Canada-
The readers of the FREE PRES3 wiil remem
ber the recent negro outrages in Canada, and
particularly the affair in the township of An
derdon, a few miles from Windsor, where an
elderly female was violated, and several males,
who went to her assistance, were cruelly bea
ten and left for dead on the floor of the house.
Subsequently the perpetrators of the outrage
were taken into custody, and, while being con
ducted to jail, were rescued by a band of their
fellows The exposure of this deed of violence
in this paper brought down upon us the impre
cations of the entire negro worshipping press,
not only of this city and country, but of Cana
da, who justified the outrage by insisting that
the female was "nothing hut a squaw." It is
true that the woman whose home was assaul
ted, and upon whom the outrage was commit
ted. was of mixed blood—French and Indian,
but it is yet to be proved that the virtue even
of an Indian woman is not as much to be re
spected as that of a white.
It seems tnat this woman, though thus sneer
ingly spoken of by the negro sympathizers, is
not without her friends, and her appeals lor
justice have not passed unheeded. The conse
quences of the outrage which the negro com
munity sought to palliate, and the punishment
due to the perpetrators, whom their compan
ions refuse to surrender to justice, are to be
visited upon the negro population of the town
ship. Their homes are to be sacrificed, and
they are to he banished from the township.
It seems that the greater part of the town
ship of Anderdon is held under the Canadian
laws as a reserve by the Wyandotte Indians,
i who, by their local authorities, have entire con
trol ot their affairs. The authority is vested
in a council, composed exclusively of the In
dians.
In consequences of this affair, the injuries re
sulting from which, having befallen the Indians
i alone, a Council has recently been held when
(the case was taken into consideration, and after
a full and dispassionate discussion, an order was
issued expelling all negro settlers from the lands
embraced in the reserve, immediately ; at the
same time a provision was made for the benefit
of those having crops in the ground, giving
them until the first of September next in which
to remove. There are in this township between
jtwo and three hundred negroes, nearly all of
I whom are fugitives from American slavery,
j A few months since the entire body of them
were presented by the Grand Jury of Essex
county as a "lazy, thriftless, thieving set," and
(he government was importuned to interfere to
prevent the increase of the nuisance. This
was looked upon as an act of oppression and
wrong toward an unfortunate and down trod
den race. It has never been urged that the acts
committed by these fugitives toward their white
and Indian neighbors, such as sheep stealing,
bouse burning, robbery, violence to females,
| and even murder, were worthy of censure.
! These were to be considered as the pastimes of
j tnis much abused class. The Grand Jury of
; the county thought differently, as do the Coun
' cil of the Wyandotte Indians.— DETROIT FREE

The lltioitutiui of Sewardism.
The N. Y. "Courier and Enquirer" innig
nantly denies the recent story from Washing
ton, that there is an arrangement for Mr. Sew
ard to retire from the contest and leave the
course free to Mr. Bates, to run as the republi
can nominep. On the contrary, it very dis
tinctly states, that while Mr. Seward's friends
will acquiesce, if he is beaten at the Chicago
Convention, by a genuine Republican of >856,
they will not submit to have him overslaughed
by Bell, Crittenden, Bates, or any other candi
date who was not a Republican, and diu not
support Fremont in 1856, but in the event of
such a nomination will bolt. We quote :
"But if on the contrary, the Republican con
vention should so far forget what is due to their
constituents, as to place in nomination for the
Presidency, and proclaim as our standard hear
er in 1860, Mr. Bates, or any person who la
bored successfully to defeat IH in 1556, and
hus secured the election ol James Buchanan,
we repeat what we have heretofore said, no
earthly consideration will induce us to support
such a nominee.
Wfien cither of asks to become our stan
dard bearer, and modestly requires us to (ail
into their ranks, in the name of the Republican
party, we most respectfully, but decidedly,
decline the honor intended to be conferred
upon us, or in olher words, we bolt in ad
vance."
The "Courier" further announces (hat it is j
"neck or nothin" with Mr. Seward now. h i
not Dominated he will retire from public I
life:
"We will say, for the information of Mr. j
Sewatd's friends, that we have the best reason i
for believing, that if not elected to the Presi
dency next November, his public life may be i
considered as terminated, as he would not j
even consent to a re-election to the Sen- i
ate."
REPUBLICAN PURITY. —The following facts
are their own best commentary. The Republi
can State Treasurer of Maine stole §IOO,OOO
of the people's money, and applied $36,000 of
it fo bribery in the elections, bv that means e
lecting Daniel E. Somes and Ezra B. French,
a couple of "pure Republicans" to Congress by
small majorities from the first and third districts
of Maine. Bribery and corruption alone elec
ted these men, and bribery with stolen money,
too. The Republican State Treasurer of Mich
igan is another plunderer of the people's monev
to the tune of §110,198 75. In Massachu
setts the Republican Liquor Agent is proved to
be a cheat, and he too has "extended" to the
tune ol $300,000 ! And one cf the Republi
can State Senators in the same Slate—Frye, of
Worcester—has just been compelled to resign
his seat by the discovery of forgeries amoun
ting to $15,000! These things show that the
"purity and reform" of the Republican leaders
are mere hypocritical professions—nothing
more.
A TRAGICAL RENCOUNTER. — W r e learn that
two men, Messrs. N'orthington and Welch, had
a difficulty in the town of Wharton a few days
since, and in the rencounter Northington shot
Welch through the heart, with a double barrel
shot gun, but the latter immediately attacked
Northington with a knife and managed to cut
him several times, once to the heait, when both
fell together, within 15 feet of each other, and
both died imrnediaiely after, and within a min

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!
THE LATEST PRODIGY OF SCIENCE
Great truths are indestructible. When Jen
net averred that vaccine innoculation was a
safeguard against the small pox, the "/acuity"'
sneered. Forty-five years later, the world
laughed at Daguerre's first announcement that
he could fix a shadow and render it as imper
ishable as substance. Even Morse's telegiaph
was regarded by thousands as a myth,
until the first line was put up in 18J-L Now
vaccination is universal, daguerreotypes are as
common as wood-cuts, and we talk by telegraph
with almost as much facility as across a friend's
table.
Such is necessarily the progress of a grand
discovery or invention in an age like ours , and
of this irresistible onward movement of the use
ful end beneficent in practical science, we
have a still more striking example in the world
wide popularity of Holloway's great remedies.
If we mistake not, they are scarcely older as an
invention than the photograph and the electric
telegraph, and yet they are familiar to half the
human race. The discoveries of Daguerre and
Morse have not been applied througout the
whole area of civilization : but barbarian and
semi-barbarian races, upon whom the light of
Christianity has not yet dawned, have experi
enced the benefits of these preparations.
When fhey were first introduced to public
notice ttirough the column" of the English press,
about twenty years ago, some of the medical
magnates of the day scoffed at them, as their
prototypes of the days of Jenner and Harvey
scoffed at vaccination and the theory of the cir
culation of the blood. But how is it now?
The name of Holfoway has been rendered il
lustrious by the spontaneous testimony of count
less multitudes. The voice of skepticism has
been hushed, and the specious arguments of
professional dogmatists confounded, by the in
lioduction of his Pills and Ointment into the
medical institutions of the most enlightened
nations.
There may possibly be here and there a dog
ged disciplinarian of the old school, who vont
see what is patent to the whole world—some
fossil specimen ola bygone age of aiedical big
otry, who closes bis ears to the great fact that
Holloway's vegetable remedies are displacing
and superceding the mineral poisons, once con
sidered all in all ; but Mich instances of con
firmed and hopeless "old fogyism" are fortu
nately few and far between. They will prob
ably be remembered when Hoiioway is forgot
ten —and uot till then.— A. Y. "AW. Pol.

HOLLOW AY'S PILLS. — An incontrovertible
truth. The Blood the source of health. The
blood is the river of life and conveys on its
current the elements of health or disease in its
course through the fibres and tissues of the
human frame—if pure it strengthens the
muscles, braces the nerves, gives solidity to
the b ne,(firmness to the flesh, lustre to the eye,'
brilliancy to the complexion and elasticity to i
the animal spirits : when vitiated, it infects
the whole system and is prolific of such disor
ders as scurvy, scrofula and all cutaneous erup
tions. With these facts before us, we see now
essential it is to health to preserve the blood
pure—HoHoway's Pills will purify it in the
most effectual manner, no matter how tainted
it may be.

GRENADA, Miss., June 5, 1555.
Dr. Setb S. Hacee, Baltimore, Md.—Dear Sir : 1
take great pleasure in relating a case of spasms or
fits, cured by your invaluabl" Pills. My brother,
J. J. Ligon, has long been afflicted with this awful
disease. He was first attacked while quite young.
He would have one or two spasms at one. attack at
first ; but as be grew older, they seemed toincrease
likewise. Up to the time he commenced taking
your Pills, he had them very olten and quite severe,
prostrating him body and mind. His mind had suf
fered senously ; but now, lam happy to say , he is
cured of those fits. He has enjoyed fine health for
the last five months past. His mind has also re
turned to its original sprightliness. All this I take
a great pleasure in communicating, as it may be
j the means of directing others to the remedy that
will cure them. Yours respectfully, 4-c.,
