In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been leached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. Ido not expect the Union to be dis solved—ldo not expect the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the farther spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall test in the be lief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will pusn it forward till it shall be come alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new—North as well as South." h ih h b b hJsJ? hJb y|EI£LEI,'ATE ELECTIONS™. vXSJ** Pursuant to rules adopted by the Democratic party of Bedford county, at their regu lar Meeting held in February, 1556, which rules are now in force, the Democratic Vigilance Committees of the several townships and boroughs of Bedford county, are hereby requested to give written notice that elections will be held in their respective dis tricts, on SATURDAY, THE 16TH DAY OF JUNE, next, for the purpose ol"selecting two delegatesjfrom each district, to represent such district in the com ing Democratic County Convention, said Conven tion to meet in the borough of Bedford, on TUES DAY, THE 19tb DAY OF JUNE, NEXT, at 2 o'- clock, P.

Chairman. A Slap in the face of Americanism. The Black Republican Convention at Chica go, under the pressure ot the foreign element ol that party, adopted the following resolution That the Republican party is opposed to any change in our Naturalization laws, 01 any State legislation by which the rights ol citizenship hitherto accorded to immigrants from foreign lands, shall be abridged or impaired, ar.d in fa vor of giving a full and efficient protection to the sights oi all classes ot citizens, whether na tive or naturalized, both at home and abroad. These arrant hypocrites, doubtless, imagine that their adoption ol such a resolution as this, will be sufficient to wipe out ail the blood that has been shed in the unholy cause of which they have but recently been advocates ! They, doubtless, think that it will cover and hide the blood-stained page that bears the record ol Louis ville and Baltimore! They offer a bit of treacherous paper a? a recompense for the loss ola thousand lives ' How cunning and yet how foolish! But what will our intense "American" friends say to this ? What us there now to hind them them to Black Republicanism?— What can Francis Jordan and the other Know Nothing leaders in this county, now give as an excuse lor clinging to Black Republicanism ? ; Their doctrine that the naturalization laws I should be remodelled, so as to require loreign ers to remain a longer time in the country, be fore they can become citizens, is completely ignored in the above resolution. Tliey cannot vote lor the Chicago nominees 011 that platform, without taking back what they have said during the iast five years. We repeat, what will the "Americans" say to this? "A wet Blauket." The nomination of Lincoln and Hamlin, has lallen like "a wet blanket" upcu the so-caliea "People's" party of Pennsylvania. Its leaders are discouraged and disheartened at the pros pect before them. When the news of the nomination, was received here, a blank stare ot astonishment and disappointment lookrd out from every Black Republican countenance.— Poor fellows ! We pity their distress ! The Daily Ntws, the Philadelphia 'organ ol the ' People's" party, says of the Chicago nominations, that it s "idle to disguise the fact that there is not only very great disappoint ment in regard to the candidates presented, but 1 marked dissatisfaction. ' The same papei also ; says of the "Dutch plank" in the Chicago plat form. that it is "an insult to the American ele ■ ment." and as such it eschews aa<l denounce* I it. Black Republicanism will find "breakers a head" in the coming contest. NO PROTECTION AT CHICAGO. After all the sound and fury of the Black Republican leaders, on the subject ola Protec tive TarifF, their Convention at Chicago has not dared to insert in its platform the doctrine of Protection. The reference to the Tariff question contained in that platform, asserts the Democratic doctrine of a tariff' for revenue, with proper discrimination in favor of home industry. In other words, it asserts the princi ple of the Polk and Dallas Tariff of '46, for j voting for which David Wilmot, late Black j Republican candidate for Governor of this state, | was denounced by the very men who now sub scribe to that principle, as a '■■ British. Free i Trade Tory ," and as a man "t vtio would 'stink lin the nostrils of every true Pennsylvanian ! forever /" The resolution is as follows : That while providing revenue for the sup ! port of the Geneial Government, by duties u ! [ion imports, a sound policy requires such an | adjustment ol those imposts as to encourage the | development of the industrial interests of the j whole country, and we commend that policy ;of national exchanges which secures to the ! workinsrmen liberal wages, to agriculture re ■ muneraling prices, to mechanics and manufactu rers au adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial prosperity and independence.

See Advertisement in anolh column. ... The only thing that ever gave Abram Lincoln any notoriety was his defeat by Ste phen A. Douglas for the U. S. Senate. To relieve hnn of this odium, his partizans claim that he had a majority on the the popular vote. This is a sheer falsehood, as there were Admin istration candidates run in nearly every coun ty iD Illinois, whose vote when counted with the Douglas vote, exceeds by several thousand that cast tor the Lincoln candidates. The Chicago Couveuliou.—Wilmot—Gree ly—Ashrnuo.— Lincoln nominated for President.—The fence-rail candidate. The Convention of the sectional " Republi cans," which met at Chicago an the 16th inst., was a scene of perpetual storm. Hisses or. the one side and cheers on the other, seemed the order of the day. Nothing but the "cohesive power" of their thirst for public plunder, re strained the delegates from dissolving the Con vention. David Wilmot—the "British Free Trade Tory," (as th? Whig newspapers used to call him) was chosen temporary chairman. George Ashmun, ot Massachusetts, a man whose cor rupt practices when a member of Congress, have made his name a reproach and a by-word among all honest men, was made permanent chairman. Horace Greely, editor of the JV. Y. Tribune, and Eli Thayer, Member of Con gress from Massachusetts, were deleqates from Oregon! [qfirere. Is a nomination made by a Convention thus composed, binding upon a party ?] Texas was also represented by non resident delegates ! Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky, states which together cannot cast 5000 votes for the "Republican" nominee, had delegations in the Convention ! This was brought about by the opponents of Seward, for the purpose of defeating him. The friends of that candidate declare that he was deliberately cheated out of the nomination—Greely, Blair and other plunder-seekers, were afraid of the irrepressible conflict, and, therefore, resolved to beat Seward. They succeeded, but in turn were beaten themselves, their favorite being Edward Bates of Missouri, a milk-and-water politician, whilst the nominee, Abram Lincoln, of Illinois, is a 'positive and emphatic Aboli tionist. The defeat of Seward and the nomina tion of Lincoln, was but leaping from Scylla to plunge into Charybdis. It i 3 said that the only reason why Lincoln was nominated was, that some of his friends brought a couple of rails into the Convention, which they asserted he and a certain John Shanks, had made some thirty years ago. It is said, also, that the Con vention had great trouble in deciding which was the better man, Shanks, or Lincoln. They, however, finally settled upon Lincoln and a greed to put him forward as the Jence-rail candidnte. Hannibal Hamlin (ye gods ! what a name) of Maine, received the nomination for Vice President. The doings of this Convention are truly gratifying and encouraging to the Democracy. A third-rate Illinois lawyer, whose greatest forte is to spout Abolition speeches, has but a poor show, in our opinion, to become President of these United States. Such a disgrace can scarcely be in store for this glorious Republic. Let the Democracy but nominate a good man, and nothing will be surer than the defeat of Abram Lincoln and the Black Republican party in next November. TIIE TRIE DOCTRINE. We copy below an article which appeared in Gen. Bowman's Constitution, last August, we conceive, embodies the true doc trine with regard to the protection of slavery in the Territories. VVe should like to see the Baltimore Convention governed by the spirit of this article, believing that in that case the Democracy ol the North and the South could consistently and honorably harmonize. The doctrine ol pen. Bowman's article, is that of the Reading Convention, and we think that as it seemed to be acceptable to the South last year, the Pennsylvania delegation to Baltimore, should insist upon its adoption by the Conven tion. The reader will observe that the article combats in a most able and irresistible manner, the claim setup by Mr. Yancey and the sece ders from the Charleston Convention, in favor of Congressional protection to slavery. Jt is, in fact, one of the clearest and soundest exposi tions of Democratic doctrine on slavery in the Territories, that we have ever read. We heartily subscribe to every word it contiins. [From the Weekly Constitution, August 27th, 1859.] Congressional Intervention in tbe Ter- ritories. There is no portion of the democratic creed to which all sections of the party are more sol emnly pledged and bound to adhere than that which prohibits interference by Congress with slavery iff State and Territory, and District of Columbia. This policy was adopted after years of ex hausting and profitless agitation ; was accepted as final, and by none was it more strongly ur ged, or more readily assented to, than by the South. If we look back to the records of Con gress and read the speeches of the chosenjleaders of "the South —the most renowned and uncompromising advocates of Southern rights —if we look back to the course taken by Cal houn and Berrien, and other distinguished Southern statesmen, when the slavery question was most hotly discussed—we find that they recommended " non-action " by Congress in the Territories as the only true pol icy, and the only effectual means by which the question could be safely settled in the interest of the South, and that they demanded "no law to give them, any advantage." This principle of non-intervention is the ba sis of the compromise measures of 1850, and of the Kansas-Nebraska bill; was adopted unan imously by the Cincinnati Convention, and was incorporated into the platform framed by that body as "the only sound and safe solution of the the slavery question." At the time that this [tolicj was adopted it was a matter of dispute whether or not the Constitution of the United States recognized the right to hold siaves in the Territories prior to the adoption of any municipal law on the sub ject ; and special provision was made in the Kan sas-Nebraska bill by which the decision of this important question was left to the Supreme Court of the United States, the highest judicial tribunal ol our country. That tribunal has de cided that the Territories being the public do main, and consequently the common property ot all the States, the slave-owner has as perlect and indefeasible a right to settle there with his negroes as the citizen of an}' free State has to establish himself there with his horses or his sheep, and that the proprietary rights of the for mer in his slaves, and ot the latter in his hor ses and his sheep, being rights guarantied by the Constitution, are equally entitled to protec tion. The position of the question, therefore, at this moment is as follows : First. Congress has no power to interfere with slavery in the Territories, either for its establishment or abolition. Second. That power is vested exclusively in the people of the Territories when they assem ble in convention for the purpose of forming a State constitution preparatory to admission into the Union. T/ii'd. The Constitution recognises the right to hold slave property in the Territories, as a right indefeasible by Congress or the Territories, and places that propeny, like every other spe cies of propert}, under the protection of the courts ot the country, created for that purpose, and armed with full power and authority lor its execution. Tte North and the South accepted this po | sition, and pledged themselves to maintain it, | as the most equitable settlement of the constitu ! tioual relations which should exist between the States and Territories, and as the most complete | establishment of the rights and privileges of the vaiious members of the confederacy as de fined and guarantied by the Constitution- Without a violation of our pledges, and with out a deliberate annulment of the great princi ple of non-intervention by Congress, we can neither admit that a territorial legislature can lawfully pass enactments hostile to slavery, nor that Congress should intervene by special en actment to protect slavery in the Territories. Honor, good faith, and patriotism demand the most faithful observance of the spirit and letter of our compact. "But," we are asked by our able and court eous cotemporary, The Mississippi/in, "should the first handful of squatters in a Territory ar rogate to themselves the authority to drive out slavery trom the Territories"—i n other words, should the people of a Territory defy ihe Con stitution and trample ou the law, and resist the authority of the United States/and should that authority prove incompetent to subdue the nul lifies and rebels—"is it not the duty of the Federal Covemment to intervene through all its departments to interpose and prevent the wrong or apply a remedy V To this we reply, tiiaf, as soon as the inhabitants of a Territory violate the law, usurp powers which are spe cially denied fo them, refuse to obey the man dates of the judiciary, and sanction the destruc tion or robbery of the property of their fellow citizens, the Federal Government has the pow er now to punish rebellion and nullification in the Territories, just as it has the power to so in the States.- Hitherto, the inhabitants of the Territories have quietly and legally obeyed the law, have not attempted any "unfriendly le gislation," have not manifested any desire "to drive slavery out of the Territories" or exer cise any power to which they are not constitu- , tionally ent-tled, %nd have never questioned j the binding authority of the judgments of the ! federal judiciary. In short, our territorial sys- i tern, as practically carried out by peaceful, law- 1 respecting American citizens, illustrates its own success. When it proves to be a failure, it will then be time enough for us to consider by what better system it can be replaced. It is as unwise as it is untrue to atfetnpt to draw a distinction between slave property and any other specie? of property, and to require the passage of special laws for the protection of the former. Slaves are property just as money, household furniture, cattle, or silver spoons, are property. The federal courts will apply the same laws to slave property, and those are am ple for the purpose ; and if a territorial legisla ture should attempt to pass laws hostile to sla very, the federal courts would treat such legis lation as void, and apply the proper remedies lor the correction of the evil. Were we to admit that Congress should inter fere to pass special Jaws for the Territories whenever any man or class of men required it, the work would be endless. One set of men might deem the laws for the punishment of mur der, or assault and battery, far too lenient to af ford them sufficient protection for their fives, and might apply to Congress to pass other and severer laws. Another set of men might think that the laws punishing arson were two mild ; another, that the punishment for thelt ol hor ses or money was inadequate; and they might severally require Con<jres3 to intervene. Where is intervention bv Congress to end, when once it is allowed to begin? Is it with the sla very question alone that it is to he permitted to inteifere ? The democratic parly, ir-espective of sec tions or factions—the democratic party ol the entire Union—are pledged in the most sacred manner to "resist all attempts at renewing, in Congress or out of it, the agitation of the slave very question, under whatever shape or color the attempt may be made." We are bound to keep that pledge. The democratic party, irre spective of sections or factions—the democrat ic party of the entire Union—are pledged to maintain the great doctrine ol non-interference by Congress with slavery in State and Territo tory, as embodying the only sound and safe so lution of the slavery question, by which "the equal rights of the States will be preserved in tact, the original compacts of the Constitution maintained inviolate, and the perpetuity and expansion of the Union insured." We would ask our cotemporary to recollect that, during all the time that the slavery agi tation continued, both in the halls of Congress and throughout the country, all that the South asked or required was non-intervention. Through her senators in the Seriate of the Uni ted States, through her representatives in the House, through her delegates in National and State Conventions, the South declared with Calhoun, that "non-action, by leaving the Ter ritories free and open to the emigration of all the world," was all she desired; that she de manded no law to give her any advantage in the Territories, but was willing "to leave the Territories open to all their citizens so long as they coniinue to be Territories, and, when thev cease to be so, to leave it to theii inhabitants to form such governments as may suit them, with out restriction or condition except that imposed !by the Constitution." We would ask our co [ temporary to recollect how the Northern de- I mocracy responded to this demand ; how they | fought and bled, and fell fighting on behall of ; what they believed to be the rights ot the South, how they were driven from place, and powei, and position, and from a majority were driven into a minority, oecause they contended that the demand of non-intei vention by the South was just, and ought to be granted. Let our co temporary tuin back to the history ot this mem orable struggle, and he will find the path of the battle marked by the great and good Northern democrats who sacrificed themselves in uphol ding the cause of the South. Their ranks were thinned, they suffered great and irreparable los ses, but they never faltered, or wavered, or struck their flag. They fought bravply, and without ceasing, until they conquered; and is it now, when all that the South lias demanded has been obtained—when even the opposition j are afraid and ashamed to allude, even in aw his per, to prohibition ot slavery by Congress or 1 any Wilmot-Proviso legislation—when the! question has been settled by common consent,! and in the manner that the South required ; j is it now, we ask, that the South can, with any I show of justice or honor, spring new issues for j which there is no practical necessity under ; heaven, and ask the democrats ot the North to j expose themselves to the same difficulties, disas- j ters, and sacrifices which they encountered and j suffered in days gone by ? We would ask our ! cotemporary to consider the question in this j light, and say whether, even it it should be con-, ceded that Congress has the abstract right to ! pass laws for the protection of slavery in the Territories, it is either fair or just to make a re- j quest for which there is no practical need or j justification, and which can only result in a re ; newal ot past strifes and dissensions. We would also respectfully ask the Alissis sippian to define its demand, and how it pro poses to obtain it. Does it propose thai Con gress should pass a set of abstract laws for the regulation of slavery in the Territories ? or does it advocate he assumption by Congress of the power of general legislation, and the practical annulment of our territorial system? or does it propose that Congress should interfere to pro tect slavery alone, and not any other kind of property, where neither slavery nor any other property is attacked or impaired in the slight est degree ? We believe in the soundness, wisdom, and constitutionality of our territorial policy. We regard the squatter-sovereignty doctrine as false, anti-democratic, and unconstitutional. We have faith in the good sense, respect for law, and love ot order of ttie Territories, and believe that, in the future as in the past, they will not attempt to pass laws injurious to slave proper ty, or violative of the constitutional rights of their fellow-cilizens; and we do not believe that there is, or is likely to be, any case where the laws which now exist for the piotection of slavery in the Territories will prove inadequate for that purpose. The Republican Nomination for the Presidency. The Republican Convention at Chicago have nominated Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, for President ol the United States—a third rate Western lawyer, poorer than even poor Pierce. This is a complete defeat of Seward, who was fairly entitled to the nomination from the p-rty which is of his own creation. The result was brought about by the intrigues of Horace Gree ley and old Blair, of Silver Springs, who, though they could not obtain the nomination for Madame Bates, their first love, yet prevent od the success of the apostle of the higher law, and got a man whom they can mould to (heir personal purposes more readily than Mr. Sew ard. A few year a ago, at Washington, lbe New York Senator gave offence to Greely, and he has never been forgiven, though it was he who first raised the editor oi the Jr/bune to importance. Mr. Seward's defeat is a blow to Thurlow Weed, who built upon his nomination high hopes of preferment, which now turn out to be only castles in the air.— What Raymond and Webb will do remain to be seen. The conduct of the Republican party in this nomination is a remarkable indication of small intellect, growing smaller. Tbev pass over Seward, Chase and Banks, who are statesman and able men, and they take up a fourth rale lecturer, who cannot speak good grammar, and who, to raise the wind, delivers his hackneved, illiterate compositions at S2OO apiece. Our readers will recollect that this peripatetic poli tician visited New York two or three months ago on his financial tour, when in return for the most unmitigated trash, interlarded with coarse and clumsy jokes, he filled his empty pockets with dollars coined out of republican fanaticism. If, after he becomes President of the United States, the public finances should fail, he can set out upon a lecturing mission through the country, taking Horace Greeley along with him. He may thusjrepienish a col lapsed treasury. If people will not exchange their loose dimes for the instruction cr the pleas ure derived from his eloquence, they may be induced to part witbjsome of tbeir cash in the cause of patriotism, s.nd to save the nation from bankruptcy—an event which is very likely to happen if the republicans get hold ol the nation's purse. The only other thing lor which Lincoln has been distinguished besides his itinerant lectu ring, is his deleat by Douglas in his own State, at a time when the ticket of the republican party had five thousand majority over the de mocracy in fllinois. In his anti-slavery opin ions he is the most ultra and revolutionary of all the candidates whose names were introdu ced at Chicago ; and in the campaign in which he was beaten he gave utterance to the most violent sentiments, and went into the itrepressi ble conflict before Seward himself. At such a nomination the democrats have good reason to rejoice. They have a clear road now before them, and nothing can arrest their onward march to victory if they are only true to themselves. Their stars are luckier to them than they deserve. They have the game in their hands, if they will suppress their insane quarrels and unite upon a single candidate, be he Douglas or Dickinson or Lane, but notTluth rie, Hunter or Breckinridge, or any Southern man. The candidate must be a man who will run well in the Middle States, and b* must be taken without any platform on his former re cord in regard to the South. There is no need ot any platform. The republicans have made the issue, and that must be met. not by side winds or abstractions, but by a direct negative, f heir principles involve the dissolution of the Union. Their policy is to overthrow the in iitution3 of the South, ,by force or fraud, by legislation in violation of the constitution, or, if necessary, by fire and sword.

Ihe opinion of America on a vital subject. | Show an American any invention, lrom a political constitution to a patent rat-trap, and his first impulse will be to search for its defects; ! his next to improve upon it. If, however, he finds it perfect— capable of performing all that 1 is claimed for it —invaluable, unimprovable he "acknoweledges the corn " adopts the arti cle, whatever it may be, and renders due hon or to the inventor. This trait in our national character is signally illustrated in the boundless popularity of Professor Hollowav's remedies in this country. When they were first advertised in the United States, half the world had al ready approved them. The leading govern ments of Europe, public institutions "and emi nent scientific men had endorsed them. But these credentials were not sufficient for "Brother Jonathan." He must try them in the crucible of experiment. The results were in the high est degree satisfactory. Dyspepsia, bilious com plaints, affections of the bowels, all the painful and dangerous varieties of internal disease dis appeared, invariably, under the operation of the I'ills : while external disorders, and the effects ol external injuries, were rapidly and uniform ly removed by the application of the Ointment. This was demonstration. The national mind was convinced. Enthusiasm replaced all doubf. We presume that ne establishment in New 5 ork it a central depot tor the sale of his rem edies in the Foiled States, has been the means of adding very considerably to his princely for tune ; but if it has been a pecuniar}- benefit to him, it has been a benefit which money cannot measure to thousands of our suffering fellow citizens. The Ointment and Pills are now ac cessible to people of every class, in every nart oft he Lnion, and the amount of good they have accomplished may be estimated from the fact, that almost without exception, the newspapers and other periodicals have published statements of cures effected by their operation, and back the statements by editorial declarations of thvir authenticity. This is a mass of evidence not to be controverted 0 r shaken. It is a rock of truth agamst which the waves of prefessional prejudice beat in vain.—JV". I*. Courier. Mai'kefs by Telegraph. BALTIMORE.

Grief cannot change our brother's state, His spirit's left its house of clay j No more his voice our ears shall greet, Or presence cheer us on our way. In youth's bright morn, the silver cord Which bound the spirit to its dust, Was snapped asunder at the word Of Him who gave it to his trust. And now he lies beneath the vale, His manly form will soon decay, Which teaches us that very soon We all must travel this dread way. Sleep on, dear brother, sweetly sleep, The memories which thy name imparts, Will cheer us on life's rugged road, When sorrow chills our drooping hearts. w.
