BEDFORD GAZETTE. -neurone, Pa.— FIUDAF :: HHP 2s. *s6o. B. F. Meyers, Editor and Proprietor The President's Position. We are not of that class of politic! ans wh ; eh follow blindly in the lead of Administrations or prominent political leaders. We have always endeavored to exercise our own judgment, and to act in accordance with our convictions, in regard to the issues that from tin.e to time have divided public opinion. During the late cam paign we felt it oui duty to dissent from the course pursued by President Buchanan toward MR. DOUGLAS, and we did Jnot hesitate, tor a moment, to speak our mind on the subject and now, that Ihe President is most wantonly assail ed for doing what we believe to have been right and proper in the premises, we shall lend our feeble aid in his defpnc? as cheerfully as we dis approved unhesita'ingly ot his position in the Presidential canvass. We say it, as the sol emn conviction of our mind, that ihe President chose the wiser part, when he declined to send reinforcements to the South Carolina forts at the time it was urged tipoD him to do so. The de mand was made at a time when Congressional Union Committees and caucuses were jbusy at their work of pacification, when the conserva tive masses of the Xorth and the South were busy at their work of putting forth a last ieffort to redeem the imperilled Union; and when mod eration, forbearance, conciliation and conces sion were necessary above all else to effect any thing for good. Had the President ordered Ihe reinforcements, blood would surely have bpen shed, and then all the movements of the friends of (he Union, would have been worse than use less, for the whole South would have been in flamed with the spirit of Secession. As it is, we may yet hope for a peaceful settlement ol the difficulties. The following from the Rockingham (Va.) Register, a paper which represents the conser vative and moderate portion of the people of Virginia, and which supported and fought fori MR. DOUGLAS to the last, will serve to show our readers what could have been expected j from the South, had the President made the i warlike monstration of sending troops to the Southern rorts : "We have not bppr. in the habit, recently, of praising the President of the United Spates, for the reason, that we didn't think he deserved to be praised • but bis (present position and trials claim for him the sympathies of a great people, j and his recent conduct entitles him justly to praise from every liiend of the South and of the Union, His stern refusal to let the match be applied to the magazinetin the South, against j the advice ol Gen. Cass, and Lt.Gen. Winfield j Scott, entitles him to the praise of the whole j country. Take Gen. Cass's suggestions, follow Gen. Scott's advice, and civil war would at once rage in the heart of our country. No, nek Whatever other errois has com mitted, his refusal to send additional re-inforce ments to Fort Moultrie is not one of them.— The true line cf policy has been adopted by the President with respect to South Carolina. Se ceding States are not to be "coerced" at the mouth of the Federal cannon and the point of the Federal bayonet. Let South Carolina alone, if you wouldn't explode a magazine already al most in a state of ignition." Tbe Difference. The course pursued by Gen. Jackson toward the Nullifiers of South Carolina, is .frequently cited, at present, as an example which should be imitated by the Executive for the settlement of the existing national difficulties. The ac tion of Gen. Washington in sending troops into Pennsylvania to quell the Whiskey Insurrec tion, is also referred to as a precedent for coer cion. It should be borne in mind, that iu jbcth these instances there wpre attempts made to violate the Federal Laws, whilst in the present case no law ol the Federal Government has, as yet, been interfered with by any of the States that contemplate secession. So long as SPCPS MOU does not come in conflict with the ma chinery of Government—in other words, so long as the seceding Slates suffer (he United States Laws to be executed within their boun daries, they are not guilty of any resistance a gainst the Government, and 'their action is not punishable under the Constitution. Such se cession is nothing more than the refusal of the citizens of the State to take part in the concerns of the Federal Government, and, certainly, no sane man would lor a momeni entertain the idea of compelling the people of a sovereign State to elect Senators and Members of Con gress ! The laws of the Northern Sates n ;>u diating and setting at defiance the Fugitive Slave Law, and the acts of Northern mobs in resisting the execution of that law, are parallel cases with those which happened during the administrations of Washington and Jackson. I hese would be f U ldiable oy force of arms, on the same piinciple upon which Washington put down the "Whiskey boys," and Jackson the Nullifiers in South Carolina. But not so with the Southern States at present. Thev have not resisted any Federal Law, and, therefore, their rase bears no similitude to those in question.— We have pointed out this difference not be cause we have any desire to palliate the rash conduct of the Secessionists, but because we wish none oi our readers to be misinformed in regard to the great issue which is now shaking the Union to its very foundation. A Brief History. Anti-Slavery-ism was prearhed by the Nortlu insisted on by the Noilh and made by the North a basis for the election of a Northern President. Result The people of the South resented the hostility of (he North, and South Caiolina has declared herself independent. Need we com ment ! The First Infraction of the Laws.

There is a well authenticated rumor (hat Pittsbirrtr was (lie scene, on Monday last, ai the \first violation of the [Federal IJIWS since the i beginning of the difficulties with the South.— i The Secretary of' War navtng ordered the U.

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. —Tins well known literary and family newspaper fully re tains its pristine vigor and excellence. The '•Post - 'has outlived all its former competitors for public favor, "The Saturday Courier," "Scott s Weekly, and "Neal's Gazette," hav ing collapsed years ago ; and we have no doubt that it will yet live to chronicle the decease ol j many more of its would-be rivals. It is a jour- 1 nal that deserves success, and in order to enable subscribers to the "Gazette" to obtain it at low er rates than it can be had in clubs or by any other means, we offer the "Post" and "Gaz tie" together, for $2.75 per year, in advance. This puts the price of the ''Pos>" at 75 cents per an num, whilst the jrpgular subscription price is $2.00 per annum, in advance, or $3.00 at the end of the year. 1 his is certainly an extraor dinary offer and should be an inducement to all who desire to take a good literary and family ; newspaper.

In (he crisis which now besets this nation,) the opinions and declarations of the wise and ! great statesman of an earlier period of the Re public are naturally looked to as lights for the i guidanceof the present generation. The opin- i ions of no one have been oftener quoted than j 'hose ot Gen. Jackson. It is appropriate, therefore, when we hear a Union of foice advo cated in high places, and advocated, even in the name of Jacksorqto r.uote from the farewell ad it ressot that great man a apply ing directly on this point. (Statesman's Man ual, vol. 2. pp. 951,952.) it such a struggle is o nee begun, and the citizens ol one section of the country arrayed in arms against those of another, in doubtful conflict, let the battle result as it mav, tber>-! will an end of the Union, and with o an end of the hopes of freedom. The victory ct the injured would not secure to therr. the blessin -s ol liberty : it would avenge their wrong-, but they would themselves share in the common ruin. But the Constitution cannot be maintained.; nor the Union preserved, in opposilion to pub lic feeling, by the mere exertion of the coer cive powers confided to the general govern rnen\ The foundation must be la din the af fections of the people, in the security it fives to life, liberty,character, and property, in ev ery quarter of the country : and in the frater nal attachment which the citizens of the .sev eral States bear to one another, as members ol one political family, mutually contributing to promote the happiness of each oth*.r. Hence the citizens of every State should studiously a-! void everything calculated to wound the sen sibility or offend the just pride of the people of other States and they should frown upon any proceedings within their owe borders likely to disturb the tranquility of their political breth ren in other portions of thp Union. But each State has the unquestionable right to regulate its own internal concerns accord ing to its pleasure . and while it does not io terfere with Die null's of the people of other Stales,oi the rights ot the Union, every State must be the sole judge of the measures proper I to seenje the safety of its citizens and promote f their happiness ; and all effuts on the part of I the people of other States to cast odium upon their institutions, and all measures calculated to disturb their rights of property, or to put in jeopardy their peace and internal tranquility. ; are in direct opposition to tie spirit in which the [ nion was formed, and must endanger its safety.

PASSAGE OF THE ORDINANCE OF SE CESSION BY THE SOUTH CAR OLINA LEGISLATURE. Charleston, Dec. 20.—Mr. Rhett's resolu tion to appoint a committee of thirteen, to pro vide for the assemblage of a Convention of the i seceding States, and to form a Constitution, was ; adopted. Mr. Inglis made the report of the commit tee to prepare and draft an ordinance proper to be adopted by the Convention, as follows : An Ordinance lo dissolve the Union between the State oj South Carolina and other States united with her under the compact, entitled the Constitution of the United Stales of America. "We the people ofthe State of South Caroli j na in Convention, do declare and ordain, and it is hereby ordained, That the ordinance adopted by us in convention on the 23d day of May, A. I). 1788, whereby the Constitution of the TJ nited States of America was ratified, and also all acts and parts of acts of the General Assembly of this State, ratifying the amendments of the said Constitution, are hereby repealed, and that the Union now subsisting between {South Caro lina and the other States, under the name of the United States of America, is hereby dis solved." The ordinance was taken up and passed by a unanimous vote of 196 votes, at a quarter past one o'clock. As soon as its passage was known without the doois ot the convention, it rapidly spread in the street among the crowd collected, and was hailed with immense cheering. Mr. Miles moved that (lie clerk telegraph lo the members of Congress at Washington imme diately. Cariied unanimously. Mr. Desaussure offered a resolution, that the ordinance be engrossed on parchment, under the direction of of the Attorney General, and signed by the President and members this eve ning, at Institute Hall, and that it be placed a mong the archives ofthe Stale—the members proceeding there ir. procession at half-past six o'clock. t ] Mr. McGratb said—l think a special matter! in relation lo the ordinance should be immedi- j ately considered. To my understanding, there; is no Collector of the Port nor Postmaster now \ within the limits of South Carolina. What you have done to day has extinguished the authority of'every man in South Carolina, de-| riving Ins authority from the Genera! Govern ment.' Mr. Gregg said, after South Carolina has ab rogated the Constitution of the United States, are its laws still of force ? 1 think not. Ail the law- of Congress fall instantly to the ground on the act of secession. Mr. Gregg said there is now no law on the ! subject of the collection of duties in South Car- ! olma, now that we have accomplished the woik ot forty years. Mr. Hayne said—The -Congress of the Uni ted States is no longer our Government. It will he for our Legislature to say what laws of the United States shall be continued ar.d what not. The simple act ot secession does no! abro gateali the laws. We have a great many Jaws cn the statute hook which were passed by the Governor and Privy Council. Mr. Greeg said that the Congrewiooal laws' for the collection ol revenue are for the support of the Federal Government at Washington, and thpse and all the Posi Office laws fall, on our | dissolution with that Government. Mr. Mnzyek—There is no duty for the Col i Uctor ofthe P.<rt to do, and the Post Office is swept off*. My opinion is, that the piesent ! system of postal, arrangements is a nuisance, | and the public can be better served by private : parties between the cities, like in Philadelphia ' and New* York, with a postage of one cent in- ! stead of three, and iess important places ten cents, or inn re. \ Mr. Dunkin—lf the ordinance he ratified, things will go on in the Custom House and Post office exactly as now, until other arrange ments arp made by this Convention. There is nothing in the ordinance to afUct the dignity, i honor or welfare ofSoutb Carolina. We must ■ keep the wheels of the government going wheth ; er trie Constitution of the United States is or is i not entirely abrogated by the ordinance. What |is a legcl tender for the payment of debts? Is ! it not the gold and silver of the United Slates 1 In rase of the clearing and entry of vessels, we I will be very liable to have the same confisca ted. • Mr. Carrol! —The present revenue can be continued till the act of the Legislature author ized otherwise. Mr. Crown—There is* no longer any commu nication with tiie government from which we have just separated. Mr. Duncan—The spirit of the ordinance temporarily suspends all laws till we treat with tile General Government. Mr. Gregg—The President oi the United States has thrown down the gauntlet in his mes sage. He has said it : s his duty to collect the revenue, and he wilitio it. On the one side the Federal Government claims the right, and declares its intention to execute the power of collecting revenue in our purls. On the other side we have declared we are free. I desire no compromise. Ji js necessary lo maintain 5-om fifteen to thirty per cent duties. If these im posed by It he Congress of the United States should continue to be levied, oar pt-opie would sutler a terrible calamity. As for carrying the mails let the present contracts be assumed by South Carolina inst°ad of the United States. Mr. Rhett—This great revolution must go with as much danger as possible to the country by making the Federal agents our machinery. Tlie Federal laws of taxation must not exist o ver us. We are now contending with the great principle of taxation. I trust the present system of taxation has fallen forever. Air. Barnwell—we {have seceded from the Unitei!|Btatps and established our independence. . cannot allow thp i nited States lo exercise authority over us any more. Let our postal ! convenience be sacrificed i! necessary. Never j was anything purchased worth having unless at j some coo-t and sacrifice. Air. JVlazvek—ln legard lo the mail, all Fed-i er.i: relatjnn most b° removed. Let us appoint I our ovvd ofijrtrs. Let the Collector ofthe port! battle with the difficulties as tliev come. At 3.40 i*. M., the Convention took a recess! to meet at the Institute Hall at til o'clock, for tlie purpose of signing the ordinance of seces-! sion. As the members of tlie Convention ivere lea- j ving S(. Andrew's Hall, the chimes of *,St. Mi-! chael's Episcopal Church pealed forth "Auld 5 Lang Syne" and other times. The Natioual Crisis. TIMELY COUNSEL. If, in seeking to give liberty to the negro, we nave destroyed our own, let us, ut Last, have enough ol common sense to retrain from the further egregious folly of slaying each other for the sake ol that negro, also. It, undervalu ing the great boon ol our prosperity, we can no longer consent to enjoy it in common, let us divide what we possess on the one hand, and wiial we owe on the other, and preserve our selves and our families at least from the horrors ol civil war, and the degradation of financial discredit. II there arc any among us who are of a different way ol thinking, we think we can with some degree of confidence admonish them that the times are eminently favorable tar the exercise of discretion, and that for their own well being and comfort, and for tile Weil being and comfort of the vast majority of our people, who are men of peace not men of war, it would be well to he discreet now, it they were never discreet, before. Passion must not be permitted to get the belter ol patriotism, or if patriotism be dead, passion must not calculate too confi denily on having its own way. We have sac rificed already too much for the negro; let us see to it that we sacrifice nothing mare. The dictates ol true patriotism and wise statesmanship are to hold out the olive branch —to treat the aggrieved Spates, whether in or out ol the Union, as American brethren and friends—to bear with them in an amicable and fraternal spirit—to the end that il the present Union goes to pieces on the rock of sectional ism and abolitionism, the several States will preserve such a spirit towards each other that they could consistently, alter the sad experience of a few months, or perhaps years, of unhappy separation, come together again in a friendly spirit and form a more perfect Union, with new guards for the better rexnrily of all. in case of the dissolution of the present Pi nion, there could liar liy be a hope tha: a general convention of delegates irom all the States, now j elected and held, could agree upon anj thing, as the convention would be like the Presiden tial Electoral College—a partisan, sec'.ionai one unaer the control ol uncompromising anti-sla very leaders. The great hopes of the future will depend upon the middle States, free and slave. N p w \ork, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois on the one side, and North Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri on the oth ! er, could farm a confederacy that would defy j the world in arms, and one that would draw I the extreme States, North and South into it, as sure as Rhode Island and South Carolina came ihto'lhe present Union. Michigan an i New Eng land cou.'d take then* choice—to go back again I into a Union with the slave states, or go with j the fugitive slaves to Canada.— J\ew York Lx | press. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE ? j A writer in the Buffalo Commercial, 3 Lin coln paper, makes the following Jcnolession in regard to the responsibility of the North for the present crisis : "L-t the North, especially New England, remember that for this fearlul resuit they are primarily and mainly responsible, by their tiea sonable legislation, by bar-room and pulpit as saults upon the South, iu which unholy alliance of things sacred and profane, all epithets ha**e been exhausted, all sound principle abandoned, Jtnd*new terms of denunciation and hatred in dented, irritating at last to madness the excita ble population of the South, who, for a quarter of a century, "have had these coals of fire heap ed upon their heads. ''Let the North and West remember, als**, j that the necessary subjugation of the seceding j States will be a victory without honor and cau- I ses of profit ; that hall a century of prosperity ' will hardly restore the national loss, or heal the resulting enmities : that commercial distress and almost universal bankruptcy will clothe our cities in mourning, and reduce all real es tate, both in city and country, to half its pres ent value. Let them restore the integrity of the Constitution, repeal all treasonable laws, and j offer the olive branch to their exasperated brp- j thren at the South. It war must come, let j them go into this dreadful controversy with clean hands ; let them purgp themselves of nul lification before they proceed 10 punish it in others."' How it Came to Pass. In 1850, as is well known to the whole country, Mr. Clay and Mr. Seward took oppo site side? on the pending Compromise bills.— The contest ended in the victory of Clav over Sew aid, Clayton & Co., by the enactment of ; the Compromise. The Southern Whig Tariff; States stood firmly by Henry Clay. (lor. Sew- j ard, irritahd by this defeat, ar.' having no hope ! of seducing the South from llie ranks of Clay, who had denounced him as an Abolitionist, i proclaimed a ceaseless agitation by the North ; until the country should be arrayed in section- j al antagonism. His"policy was to kill Clay, by making slavery the issue, which would drive off the ei£ht Southern Tariff States from the Whigs North, and which would secure the junction ol the Western Free Trade States. This policy was the only possible hope of Seward for the Presidency, the South having thrown him off irrevocably. He has played his game well and boldly, and by the aid ofthe McMichaels, who were with him in opposition to Clay, he has been enabled to seduce Penn sylvania from companionship with Southern Tariff Slates, and throw her into the embrace of the inexorable Free Trade States. Ttie whole matter, which has now culmina ted in the most imminent peril of dissolution, is the result of a cold blooded conspiracy of the Abolition wing of the Whig party, beaten by Clav in 1850, to swop off the Southern \ "big States, which were true to Clay, for Northern free'trade'States expected to be true to Sew- I ard. True it is that lite fruit of all his labors fum ed to ashes on is lips, and lie has the consola tion of reflecting, that for ten years he has been indefatigable in the wori of a conspiracy to con vulse his country in dissolution, and all for the benefit of a man who joined the nefarious pro ject only at the eleventh hour, and the addition al gratification tiiat his defeat was brought about by a vegetable philosopher, who he himself had raised from the gutter. He now reaps, as a just retributive reward, a blasted ambition and a gnawing conscience. Pennsylwninr,.

THE RESULT TO WESTERN POCKETS.—A co temporary illustrates the efT-wt of Lincoln's • i lection out West, by citing the case of or ■ State. The others are as bad, if not worse ofT: "Michigan ear? Lincoln 20,000 majority.— Michigan fins 4,000,000 bushels of wheat to sell, which before Lincoln's election brought readily C-3. It now is a drug at 80 cents. The loss on 4,000,000 at 28 cents per bushel, amounts to the snug little sum of one million, one hundred and twelve thousand dollars.— This fails almost wholly on the farmers. The same may be said of all the Wheat States." DEPRESSION .T CONNECTICUT.—A letter from Stafford says : "Our satinet mills are running only three quarters lime. This town pr uces from one-hail to two millior. yards of satinet per year, besid s one large cassimere, one stock inet, one cotton, and two cotton warp mills.— The mill of P.
