A friend who beard him make this remark, figures tin the number of men contained in Mr. Curtin's corporation, according to Mr. Jordan, to be just 74-, which he thinks must mean political men, for Mr. Curtin, doubtless, represents about that number of political opinions in regard to a sin gle subject. Can't some body else take nity on j the Opposition, and give them something new, j instead of Jordan's stereotyped platitudes ? KTTrom telegraphic reports received here, it is supposed thai Alexander Henry, Opposi tion, is re-elected Mayor of Philadelphia, by a bout 700 majority. This is a heavy Democratic gain, since last Fall, ivnen the Opposition j majority in that city, was nearly 3000' The j election ot Mr. Henry is nothing more than ' we anticipated, 'inasmuch as his friends and partizans resorted to every species oj fraud to secure his success. We do not doubt, that if the legitimate voters o| Philadelphia, alone, had ; made choice between the candidates, Henry would have been defeated. As it i, we are well satisfied, for the large gain of 2200, since last Fall, shows that the city will certain ly be Democratic at the coming election.

The meeting being thu3 organized, R., T ] JOHNSTOM, Esq., of Eaensji""-, j ' 1 ' ...ma great applause. I duced, and took tb . . , , , " , .:ien proceeded <.O oeiiver as, eecli Mr. To*-- . JJ g'reat beauty and pov. er, showing forth the 1 mongrel Opposition in their true 1 dors, and illustrating their fanatical schemes and,erratic S doctrines, with a number of well-told and ap propriate anecdotes, which invariably elided j the wildest and most rapturous applause from ' his hearers. Mr. J. said thai he was formerly ! a Whig, but that in 1554-, he felt the Whig platform was slipping from under his feet, and : that when he found the great lights of the i Whig party pither extinguished in death,or ac ting with the Democratic party, he felt that that ' once powerful organization existed no more, and that he would be compelled to attach nim self to some o'.! .arty. Where was he to go ? Not to the ra •' orthern fanaticism 1 Not to the II .- iy a>.us of proseriolive and intoler ant Know Nothingism! But one alternative was given him. The Democratic party—iiie only national party —the only party which ad vocates the freedom of the white race in its true sense was his only place of refuge. At the close of Mr. Johnston's speech, three cheers ; were proposed for the speaker, and were gi/en ! with a will. The next speaker was Dr. J. E. McGfRR, of | Bedford tp., who made a speech abounding in ! eloquence and burning with fervor and earnest : :ies'. The effect ot Dr. McGIER'S speech was very favorable, and his eulogy of HENRY D. ; FOSTER, whom he has known long and well, I will.have great weight in this community. L'r. ' McGirr, though a quiet and unobtrusive citizen, is an able and eloquent speaker, a polished scholar, and what is belter than a!!, a pure and upright man. The endorsement of such a man lis worth all the fulsome adulation of parasites ami flatterers, all the applause of interested anc 1 venal partisans. We expect to imar from the j Ul • " >-<an(Jy during the coming campaign, j JOHN WM n(?xt ca!led up . i on, and addressed tiie meetinv , . , j * 0 short, but i eloquent and pithy speech. Mr. Palmer na, the elements of the orator, and with a little practice, will make .an accomplished speaker. MJr. P. belongs to the young Democracy, to j whom we look for a!! the vigorous and energet- I ic assistance that youth can give, in the J contest. j Th" meeting was then addressed by Hon. W. j P. SCHELL, who acquitted himself in bi usu al able and effective manner. Mr. Schell al ways strikes home, when bespeaks, and Ins a guments are always logical and cca'"ncing. Major TATE was then loudly called lor, but owing to l/ie lateness of the hour, declined speaking, and on his motion the meeting ad journed with three cheers for the Democratic party. The Resolutions reported by the Committee appointed for lhat purpose, and read to the meeting by the chairman, O. H. Gaither, E#q., were unanimously adopted, and arc as follows ; Resolved, That we, a? heretofore, sincere'y and truly believe in the honesty and ißlegri'". of that great political party, the democratic' par ty, under wnose guidance our government has 1 continued increasing until she is second to no ! other power upon earth.

Resolved, That we ere firmly convinced ' "(hat the Harper's Fern* crime was the P ; | rsi, logica', inevitable, result of the doctri I and teachings of the Republican party, as , plainpd and enforced in their platform, th partisan presses, their pamphlets and books, a especially in the speeches ot their leaders ; and out of Congress. 1 Resolved , That we still have, as the deml . cratic party of R-U , r j County has ever ha ,an unwavering faith in the purity, justice ni I patriotism of President BUCHANAN, that I | has endeared bimseif to the hearts of many fc | the firm and manly protest be entered agaioi the assumed authority of toe "Republicans" o | the present Congress, by means of which au thority "thev attempted to make one of their utTi | ber his accuser, ni* judge and one of the jsirnrs— ' and that "we look upon the success which has crowned his labors as th* best arm' proudei! . vindication of f he propriety and wisdom of hit J administration. ' Resolved, That we concur with our Vesi necessary for the wants ol our .pl.t I eminent, could be more readiiy raised, and that we, as believe our condition as a state, would be greatly improved by incre* sed duties upon coal and iron such as advocated by H.

Resolved, That we heartily endorse the state ; policy ol our present Governor, as expressed in ! his last message, as being a proper and just policy and believe Iti.n to have been ever watchful of th* 1 interests ofour state. Resolved, That we thank our representatives assembled at Reading, for the maunerHhe late J Jemocratic convention was conducted, and for j presenting as our standard bearer in the coming ! struggle, th- gallant "Harry of th" West," and {oat v*e will do all in our power to make his ; election as certain as the coming of the Idih of October next.

FOR THE BEDFORD GAZETTE, j | Our County papers have lately,hp- e United ' Webster once said of tji>Vxhil>iti m ol champi- i Stat-?, "an tfp'plicants Ur the offic of County j .9<9fierinten(ient, v, some oi'tiieir, have end-a- ; vored to elevate themselves in the estimation [ of the citizens and School Directois ol Bedford county, by displaying their abilities, is they no doubt suppose, to wield the superintendepcy of the Common Schools to (he best advantage ; more, we believe, for the purpose of securing the election, than for the r*a! interest of Edu cation. Had ali that has lately ben said ar.d written upon the subject of Teaching, Training, See., been said and written at the opening ol the schools last fail, it would have entitled the contributors to more Educational merit. It is not my purpose, in this article, to make a dis play ot my limited stock of knowledge on the "Science of Education, and the Art of Teach ing,"' but to recommend a work on that subject which should be in the possession of every Fam ily and Teacher. The author ol the work men tioned is John Ogden, A. M. Hear him in a portion of his article on discipline : "There is, therefore, this difference between acquisition and discipline, between education and iifbtruction. Acquisition and instruction coll r ct the materials, uiscipline and education dispose of them in their proper places. Th first teed the faculties of the mind, the second exercise them ; 'he first develop knowledge, lb" second power ; acquisition is learning, discip line s wisdom; instruction affords nourishment, education begets strength. Knowledge is" the accumulation of facts and principles, wisdom i the ability to use them. An instructed man is a man of knowledge, an educated man is a man of wisdom. Instruction is a condition of edu cation ; knowledge, of wisdom ; acquisition, of discipline. Instruction and acquisition afford the opportunities of improvement ; education and discipline make use of tiii'T'* opportunities for the accomplishment of the duties of life: so that they are ail as essentially necessary to perfect development id mind as fooil aid exer cise are to th" growth and perfect development of tlie body." Ihe work, from which the above quotation ' has beer taken, contains over four hundred pa : ge, and yet every page is as replete with ex i cellence as the part above quoted. It mav b *aid, however, that there are many parents who cannot read, and therefore, it would be of | no advantage to them to have any work on the | subject of education. Where this is the case, j t recommend iiie following as a remedy : lit : every sub-district there are at least a few voting , gentlemen and young ladies, who are pretty &—J readers, and who, if invited to do sa, wouni come ii„. i t. • , ... , '"miliej where tne parents, for ; either of therr.) cannot r '„4 , , , , . . >n '' spend an hour or two, in reading, at least one or two ev-Pn*- during the week, and the consequence .i Q ,jpj be a four-fold ad vantage. First: Parents would be instructed. Secondly: Good readers would he improved. Thirdly : The mind of the rea der would be enriched , and fourthly : The | time thus employed, would, otherwise, per haps, be spent in idleness, or vagrancy. JOHN B. FLUKE.

D I E §■ i On the !6th tilt., Daniel, infant son of Ma i thias and Barbara Otto, aged, S months and 13 j days. Josiaij D. Shuck, after a lingering and al most painless illness, departed this life, April 9th, 18G0. aged 43 years and 10 months. In the death ot Mr. Shuck, Bedford sustains the loss of one ot her most valued citizens.— Asa man ol business aptitude and thrift, tie had few, if any superiors. He was outspoken, can did, ready, honest, prompt. As a counsellor in public enterprise, he wa3 looked up to and his opinions sought. He was a friend to th- poor. H'hile he lived, and now especially since he is gone, their tongues are eloquent with his r-aise. He was their counsellor, devising schemes or bu siness plans far them by which to help thein on their feet—and, where it would be appreciated or discreet to do so, was ready to afford the ne cessary aid to help them start. Others have been Ad and clothed bv hi 3 benefactions. 1 He became a disciple of the Saviour bv con | version when between In an i 16 years of cge. 1 and for some two years followed him openly - -pJ worthily in connection with the Methodist . • r.'tinrch. At leasth, however, be coming oil -net . v., .... , u ! j • n . -'.what he legarded as an i i ! consistency in a few i, v ' . f . I,, h , .- • . . . members of toe ! Church, he improper,v withdrew i.-m it 9( . I nke IM r, fell in the back ground, and follow .!*, if at ail, :n the far off distance. Like Peter he pi bjiciy denied that he was a disciple, but, like , hifn, he retained a secred lingering regard for 1 his Lord, and never ceased, as he afterward pro fessed, secretly and daily to pray. Thus, in stead of keeping his lighted candle in the can | dlestick, he put it under a bushel, where, being I smothered, it necessarily went out. Praver was continued to be sure—but, tnere was no j answering assistance. A species of Confidence i in his Gad was presumed, but only presumed, lor, that there could have been no Divine ap proval, is most scripturally manifest toali who understand the genius ol the Divine JJdniinis trntion. 41 11 i regard in ; qui!y in my heart," : says the Psalmist, "the Lord wii! not hear me." ; But was not his neglect pubiicly to scknowl- I edge and serve his Saviour, an iniquity? See, i it is a command of the Saviour to confess him before men—and to obey the Saviour is mani festly to do good—now it is said k again, "To him j thai Unoweth to do gad and dotth. it no: to kir.i |it is sin."'' This his neglect "therefore" was ins ' spiritually fatal iniquity. This preventer! trie hearing of his prayers. This, too, but for a timely repentance and reformation, would have j prevented his being "confessed before the Father 1 and his Holy Angels. 1 This aid..! "'as the mistake ol Air. Shuck s life—Had he ''stood ■<; i for Jesus ' as he snoui i have done, how many ! souls might he have been instrumental in sa- j ving from death, and what a multitude of sins,; ; might thus have been covered—and what an | increased gracious reward, too, he might have' had eternally to enjoy in heaven. Of all this j he was most fully convinced before his death, and 0, how biiteriy did he repent it. But ' though repentance came genuinely and t!:or- j onghly, us we think, yet ike moments— the, y.T.s —that had been lost were lost forever. Hat! it been in his power, how gladly would he have recalled his life in this respect, and how differently would he have appreciated it. Bui alas! time once past never returns. He saw his duty and some six months before his death publicly reunited with the church.— This (la y done, lie sincerely sought, by prayer forgiveness for the past. In mercy his suit was heard and he obtained witness that he was ac cepted. He now again rejoiced in a m rne Di- j vine favor—nd from '*'* ,s time forth exhorted ol! w/jo came in tiis way, '-that with purpose of heart they should turn unto the Lord." From this time till his death not a cloud obscured his spiritual horizon. He was constantly trustful, happy and resigned. Ihe vigilance and hon esty that had hh.ierlo ma: ked ali it is business habitudes seemed now applied to sell examina tion and safely, as well as to the advancement of the cause of the Redeemer. Had it been the p'easure of the .Master, he sa'd he would have loved to remain awhile lon ger intthiss s as he-regarded it,'/'beautiful world." especially that lie mighi have the care and rear ing ot his young family. Still if the Divine Wisdom saw it best to remove him, he was rc- I signed, and could entrust both nis companion j and little ones to Him who has said "I will be | a Father to the Fatherless and the widow' 3 1 God.'' While impressing his farewell kiss up on the fair countenances of his little daugh ters, he observed bis wif • tn weep, when addres sing himself to her he said, with both tender n ,s" and assurance "weep not for me ail is well." His confidence continued unshaken and his mind seierie and national to the last. Then "As fat.esa summer's cloud awav. As sin! s the gale *.vhen storms are o'er, As gently shuts the eye of day, As dies a wave along the shore", so gently did he resign his spirit into the arms of his Redeemer. ' Forever with the Lord Amen, so let it be, L>: e from the dead 13 in that word, I is immortality." Or. S indav i n - a of Mr. ohn j.
