REPUBLICAN MEETING*.
Grand Flare Up among the Irre
pressibles !
"When Greek meets Greek, then comes the
tug of war!" Such was our involuntary ejacu
lation as we wended our way to the Court
Houston Tuesday evening last, to look in up
on the "Republican" meeting then and there
in progress. It seemed to us impossible that
such incongruous elements as those which at
present compose the "Republican" party, could
come together harmoniously and act in unison.
Our convictions in this regard were soon ver
ified. A Committee on Resolutions was ap
pointed by the Chair. The Committee was so
lormed that the ultras had control of it. Alex.
King, of this place, was Chairman. The Com
mittee retired. Mr. King's partner, the inevi
table Jordan, addressed the meeting in a furi
ous speech against any amendment to the Con
stitution, evidently for the purpose of prepa
ring the minds of his audience for the radical
and uncompromising resolutions of his senior
partner. Mr. Jordan's rattle-snake and fish
stories, told with a squeaking vocileration that
would have done honor to a newly fledged gan
der, finally drew their slow length to a conclu
sion. The Committee on resolutions reported.
The whole series was a fierce and furious tirade
against the South, aud in two of the resolutions
it was declared that any amendment to the Con
stitution would be inexpedient, degrading and
harmful to the Government. To the rtsolu
'ions opposing amendments to the Constitution,
R. D. Barclay, Esq., would enter his earnest
protest. He did not desiie to provoke discus
sion on the subject, but would merely protest
for himself, individually, against those resolu
tions. The irascible Chairman of the Commit
tee on resolutions, however, was not content to
let Mr. Barclay thus quietly enter his protest.
He was evidently sorely angered, and must
give vent to his wrath ir. a speech. Afttr the
Chairman had concluded, Mr. Barclay arose
and began to pour hot shot into the radical mad
caps who refuse to make any concessions, or to
give the Union men of the South any encour
agement in their patriotic stand against secess
ion. He said that he was willing to endorse
the Border State Compromise, or the proposi
tion of Mr. Etheridge, of Tennessee, or, if it
would settle the difficulties in the South, he
would be in favor, —word for word, letter for
Utter, —of the Compromise Measures of Mr.
Crittenden. Why, said he, North of the Crit
tenden Compromise line, slavery cannot go, as
every body admits. Climate and soil forbid it.
South of that line it can only go during the
Territorial condition of the country, but when
the people come to ask for admission into the
Union as a State, they can vote down slavery,
as they did in Kansas, and come into the U
was not humiffa'ti any "Republican."—
Gentlemen might say that because the "Repub
licans" were victorious at the last election,
they should not yield an inch to their oppo
nents, but he believed that when we are victo
rious we can afford and ought to be generous and
magnanimous to our adversaries. It was said
that these difficulties had been settled at the last
election, and that we ought to abide by that
settlement. He thought that no such settle
mer.t was made by that election, because the
subject of the present troubles was not in issue
before the people. He had voted for Abraham
Lincoln, but if Mr. Lincoln had expressed the
sentiments before the election which- some of
the gentlemen here entertain at present, he
couiti never have been elected, nor would he
have 'vserved to be.—ln this strain Mr. Bar
clay proceeded for about one hour, and to our
miod, completely vindicated his position. His
speech was eloquent and full of tilling points.
■Ye heard a number of persons pronounce it
superior both in matter and manner to any de
livered cluriug the meeting. So cogent was
his reasoning, that the ostensible pditor of the
Abolition organ felt it necessary to call out
that his time was up, and to call him to order,
tor which the said "ostensible" was himself called
toorder by "Procrustes" and other Republicans,
all of which troubled Mr. Barclay about as
much as the nibbling of a minny would the tail
of a whale. The sentiment of the meeting was
evidently with Mr. Barclay, but as he had no
wiie-puller3 with him, his opposition to the res
olutions was in vain, and after Mr. Filler had
fixed up his Procrustean bed for the meeting,—
which being interpieted, means squaring the
sentiments of the audience by the resolutions of
the Committee, — said resolutions were adopted.
I'he r icetidg adjourned in a very lugubrious
p'igtn,the visages of the leaders being quite
elongated and chop-fallen, and the rank and
file grsnuing horribly the ghas'liest of smiles.
(TJ-ADHITTED TO THE BAR.—On Monday

DEMOCRATIC HON MBETIMi.
THE CONSERVATIVE MASSES IN
COUNCIL.
—_
Pursuant to previous notice, a large number
j of the Democratic and Conservative citizens of
Bedford county, assembled in the Court House
in Bedford, on Monday evening lart. The
meeting was called to order by the appoint
ment of that veteran Democrat and stout-hear
ted Union man,
GEN. JAMES BURNS, OF JUNIATA TF.
The following gentlemen were selected a.
Vice Presidents :
David Evans, Joseph B. Noble,
Michael Holderbaum, Sam'l, W. Statler,
F. D. Beegie. George VV. Horn,
Sam'l. S. Fluke, David Miller,
John May, Francis Beard,
Richard McMullin, Cornelius Devore,
Jesse Dicken, jr., Andrew Crisman,
George Deal, Isaac Keusinger,
W. M. Akers, VV. M. Pearson.
The organization ot the meeting was then
completed by the appointment of the following
Secretaries :
J. Henry Schell, • John Hoenstine,
William A. Powell, Peter Koontz,
William Bonnell, John Blair,
John Burns.
The {meeting being thus organized, G. H.
Spang, Esq., moved the appointment ot a Com
mittee of nine to draft resolutions expressive of
the sense of the meeting.
O. E. Shannon, Esq., moved 10 amend Mr.
Spang's motion so as to make the Committee
consist of two persons from each election dis
trict.
After sim# discussion, the amendment was
adopted.
The Committee was composed as follows :
G. H. Chairman, John Cessna, J.
W. Tomlinson,* I. D. Earnest, S. S. Fluke,
Thos. Haney, Abraham McClellan, W. P.
Morgart, Henry Rose, John Blair, Geo. W.
Powell, Jacob Devore, Daniel Defibaugh, VV.
Fluke, P. F. Lehman, Caspar Stroup, Corne
lius Devore, Benjamin "Valentine, Isaac Ken
singer, John Hornao, David Evans, Oliver Hor
ton, Richard'McMullin, D. A T. Black, Cad.

Koontz, Alex. McGrigor, Francis Beard, J. B.
Fluke, J. S. Brumbaugh, VV. M. Pearson, Si
mon Brumbaugh.
The Committee having retired for consulta
tion, on motion O. E. Shannon, Esq., addressed
the meeting in an able and patriotic speech.
VV. M. HALL, Esq., was then called uoon,
and in response made a very able speech on
the subject of the piesent difficulties in the
South. Mr. HALL'S speech received the ap
proval of every conservative man in the house,
as it was good Democratic doctrine from.begin
ning to end. The frequent bursts of applause
with which his remarks were interrupted, at
tested the impression that Mr. Hall's speech
made upon the Jminds and hearts of his audi
eQSfoa. J VJfluA vuvu vsuif nrt
lowed Mr. Hall in a speech of great power, a
bounding in strong language and fiery arid elo
quent outbursts. Mr. Cessna held the Repub
licans office-holders responsible, for the
present troubles, but denounced the ultra men
of the North and of the South with equal oit
lerness. He denied that he was in favor of
coercion, but asserted that the Union must be
maintained and the laws carried out.
Col. TATE also addressed the meeting in his
usual powerful style.
After the adoption of the following resolu
tions, reported by the Committee through their
Chairman, Mr. Spang, the meeting adjourned
with three cheers for the Union and the Con
stitution and the Democratic party to uphold
them.
RESOLUTIONS.
We, the Democratic and conservative citi
zens of Bedford county, deeply impressed by
the imminent danger in which the Government
and the country are at present involved, and
moved by an ardent desire to do our utmost to
preserve to our fellow citizens of all sections of
the Union, every right and privilege guaran
tied them in the Federal Constitution, in Mass
Meeting assembled, do reso/.ve,
1. That the Union of thpse States is conse
crated in our affections by the inestimable ben
efits it has secured to us, by the .memories of the
past and the hopes for the future, by the proud
position it has enabled us to occupy in the scale
of nations, by the achievements of our arms in
war, and the "benefices policy of our Govern
ment in time of peace, by every tie that binds
the heart of the patriot to the country he loves,
and we, therefore, look with alarm and regret
upon all efforts to destroy, or impair this Palla
dium of our civil and political liberties.
2. That whilst we believe our Southern fel
low citizens to have been grievously wronged
in many instances by the conduct of Northern
fanatics, and whilst they have always had and
still have our sympathy and assistance in their
demands for redress of those wrongs, yet, be
lieving that their remedy is to 4 be found in the
Constitution and within the Union, we cannot
sympathize with those persons, or communities,
among them, who advocate secession, in their
attempts to revolutionize and overthrow the
Federal Government.
3 That we have always looked upon the
doctrines and obvious purposes of the so-called
♦•Republican" parly, as subversive ot the Con
stitution, dangerous to the Union, and calcula
ted to lead inevitably to a crisis such as at pres
ent agitates and distracts the country. The
sol-.'mn prediction made by Washineton and the
Fathers of the Republic, by Mr. Fillmore in his
Albanj' speech, and reiterated and quoted,
times without number, by conservative and
pat riot ic men during the late Presidential
struggle, that the success of a sectional party
such as that which elected Mr. Lincoln to the
Presidency, would prove to be destructive ol
the Government and the Union, is now fully
and completely verified, and in our opinion
the only means ot restoring peace to tbe couu
try and preserving the menaced and endanger
ed Union, lies in the repudiation of that party,
its principles, organization and aims, by a peo
ple shamefully and fraudulently deceived by
the cunning representations and specious
promises of its leaders.
4. That, in order to erect a basis for the
settlement of the unhappy difficulties which
now threaten the country, and in order to
strengthen the hands of the Union men of the
Southern States, and without abandoning any
doctrine ,n regard to the question of Slavery
in the Territories \y',iich we have hitherto en
tertained, we respectfully and earnestly re
commend .o our Senators and Representatives
in Congress assembled, to adopt the resolutions
proposed by Senatoi Crittenden, of Kentucky,
or to pass an act allowing a vote ot the people
thereon, or if'not willing so to do, to resign
their seats, and allow the people to elect their
successors.
5. That we earnestly urge our Senators and
Representatives in the Legislature of Penn
sylvania, to unite their efforts to repeal all
laws obnoxious or odious to the citizens of anv
portion of the Union, or in any way conflicting
with any provisions of the Constitution or laws
of the Government.
6. 7 hat whilst we deprecate all warlike or
hostile collision between the military forces
of the General Government and the people of
the States, believing that a peaceful settlement
of the existing difficulties is possible, it honora
bly and justly sought for by the people of both
sections, and that Civil War would put an end
to a1! hope of reconciliation between the North
and the South : yet we cordially approve of
the course of President Buchanan in his pa
triotic endeavors to protect the public property,
and execute the Federal Law against any and
all persons refusing to obey them. *
t. That we heartily endorse the efforts of
Senator B-gler io bring about a peaceful ad
justment of our national troubles, and also ten
der our thanks to his colleague,"Senator Camer
on, for his patrioticJisregard of the behests of
his party in ccmir.g to the rescue of the Union
and Peace men of the country.
8. i hat Hon. Job Mann be and he is hereby
appointed Senatorial, and John Cessna, B. F.
Meyers and J. H. Schell, Representative dele
gates to the Democratic State Convention,
called to meet at Harrisburg on the 2lst inst.,
and that we concur iu the selection of Somer
set and Huntingdon counties, and respectfully
ask their concurrence in the appointment of
Mr. Mann ; and that in case any vacancy
should occur in the Delegation (four members)
this day chosen to the Hanisburg Convention,
it sha'l be filled by a majority of those delegates
who may be present to whom we hereby give
the power of substitution.
Jordan's Overflowings.
At the "Republican" meeting on Tuesday
| riigbt, the inevitable Jordan was at high tide.
| He was utterly incontinent ol his bitter waters,
and gall and wormwood disembogued them
selves in rushing streams fiorn his month. His
uttering* overflowed his audience with thp
liothiest of falsehoods, and he stranded upon
the shores of credulity in plentiful abundance,
the wrecks of exploded engines and worn out
craft , once, but never more to be, used with
effect against the Democratic party.
Mr. Jordan said : "ff'e have a majority of
the Congressmen from North Carolina, and,
therefore, that State refuses to secede." Who
are we ? The friends of Lincoln, of course.—
Did Lincoln get a single vote in North Caroli
.Ak^.°flSt.,.^}fy?ffo<Wai"7n favoToPEMP
coin * Not one. Is there not a majority of
Democratic Congressmen from North Caroli
na ? The record proves it. This then is lie
number one from Mr. Jordan.
The same was said bv the "inevitable," ol
Kentucky and Tennessee. Is there a single
Congressman from either ol those States that
voted for Jordan's candidate, Lincoln? Not
one. Has not Andrew Johnson, Democratic
Senator from the latter State, and has not John
Y. Brown, and have not other Democrats, of
Kentucky, fought disunion with tiger fierce
ness ? Have not both these States Democratic
Governors ? It is, therefore, another lit to say
that Kentucky and Tennessee refuse to lecede, j
because the Democrats are not in a majority in
those States.
Mr. Jordan, moreover, forgot to speak of
Virginia, which has lately declared for he U
nion by an overwhelming majority, ji this
State the Democrats have ail the Congressmen
but one, Mr. Boteler, and he votes
with them. He also forgot'to name Missouri,
true to the Union, from which, in the present
Congress, all the members are Democnfc.
Again, he asked, when did we evetfiear of
secession from New England, or the .®rtl\ern
States? We can tell him. Massachurtts de
clared herself out of the Union, by an Act of
her Legislature, when Texas wasadmited, and 1
that Act remains unrepealed upon her statute- '
book, and she 13 just as much out of tie Union j
at tlfis day, as South Carolina. ,
Further, h" quoted Henry Clay, 'he sage
of Ashland had said that he would neer vote
to extend the institution of slavery ovr a foot
of Territory now free. Very wd. Mr.
Clav would not, as an individual, oris K U.
S. Senator, vote to extend slavery.-But' did
he ever deny to other people, to the fizens of
the South who had emigrated to the Territ
ories, the right so to vote t No, ne>r ! On
fhe other hand he advocated the rigl of the
people of all sections of the Union trgo into
the Territories with their properly, an to make
their domestic institutions in their ou way.
And in that particular he and the "Reiblican"
party are as wide asunder as the polei
The whole secession trouble is blarrf by Mr.
Jordan ujxin the Democrats of the Soh, when
it is well known, that before the "Rub'ican"
party attained power in the
was an empty theory existing only ithe vis
ionary brain of a few ciscontenled *1 ambi
tious schemers in the Cotton States. U is the
sectionalism and unfairness toward t South,
exhibited in the platform of the "Roblican"
party, and in the speeches of it iotlers and
leaders, that have given food and nrishnient
to its present growth. This Mr. Jom knows
very well, and he is trying to divert attention
from the guilty party, by the old trick of cry
ing "stop thief!" It will not do, Francis !_
The people will hold you and your parly re
sponsible, no matter how specious and sly your
pleas of innocence, or how fierce and violent
your accusations of other parties.
Local and Miscellaneous
. .. .SELECT SCHOOL. —We understand that
Mr..A. N. Raub, Principal of the Union School
of this borough, intends shortly to open select
school in this place. Mr. Raub's qualifier .ons
as a teacher are of a very high order, as is fully
attested by his success as Principal of the Union
School. We hope the citizens of our borough
anil vicinity will give him a cordial support.
... .Any persons desirous of ptnehasing a
first rate Mill propeity and Farm, would do
well to attend the sale of L. N. Fyan, Esq.,
of Juniata tp., on the 14-th of March next. See
advertisement in another column.
.... I r. Jordan saj's that a rattlesnake is
coiled about the Palmetto tree on the flag of
South Carolina, and that he would prefer
Yankee Doodle played by any other instrument
than the tail of a rattle-snake. From his
known proclivity in favor of the amalgamation
of the races, we presume he would prefer a
flag with a dark ground and a cupper-head on
it.
. .. .Hon. Ira Harris has been elected U. S.
Senator from New \ork, in place of Senator Sew
ard, whose term is about to expire. Horace Gree
ley was a candidate, but "old White-Coat' rouldn't
quite "reach the persimmon." W. C. Noyes was
also a candidate, but the "noise was completely
knocked out ot him." The'election of Harris, is con
sidered as a rebuke to the radical "Republicans."
. .. .\ irginia and Tennessee have both voted
in favor of staying in the Union, provided the
North does not refuse the Compromises' asked
by the people of the Border Slave Stalps. Will
this love of the Union be reciprocated by the
North in agreeing to compromise with Ten
nessee, Virginia, and the other Border Slave
States ?
(CP*We have been requested to publish the
following which originally appeared as a com
munication in the Chambersburg Valley Spirit.
We give place to it with pleasure.
PRESIDENT JUDGE
j MR. EDITOR :— lt is well known that the
year upon which we entered a month ago will
J close the official term of Hon. Francis M. Kim-
I mell, President Judge of this Juoicial District.
I have never heard that the Judge intended to
j be a candidate for re-election, r.d therefore take
it tor granted that he intends to retire,
j The upper end of the District has now had
| the Judge for twenty years. This being the
j case, Franklin, the most populous of the four
! counties, may put in a claim to the successian,
without being charged with a disposition to
"take the lion's share" of judicial hcnors.
I admit that if she pu's in such a claim she
is bound fo produce a man who is qualified to
dispense justice to the people of the District,
and I submit that she has such a man in Hon.
WILSON REILLY.
\ou know and the public know that for fif
teen years Mr. Reilly has been regarded as one
Of lhe.best
point of law, and no man in the whole.District i
surpasses him in the faculty of makiu* his i
points clear to a jury.
Knowledge ol the law and powers of speech I
to explain it to others, joined with uprightness j
and firmness, are qualities that a man must
have to make him a good Judge. These quali
ties Mr. Reilly possesses in a high degree '
His soundness as a lawyer is well known. So I
is bis ability as a speaker. So is his honesty '
He has popular traits 100. Of all men he is j
one of the least selfish. He is a Man of the
People, and his hand and his heart are always
open to all his fellow citizens. These trails
have given him a strong hold on the popular
heart, and I am persuaded that he would run
a much heavier vote than any other man we
could nominate.
I believe our friends (in the other counties
of the District would accept Mr. Reilly with
pleasure and give him a very cordial support.

''ThirJy-Six TliiriyT"
The reader who is curious to "know exactly
where luns this oft-mentioned line, will get a
clear idea of it by taking the map and tracing
it as follows : It commences at the point on
the Atlantic coast, where the dividing line be
tween Virginia and North Carolina 'commen
ces ; passes along the line between Tennessee
and Kentucky ; along the hue between the
States of Missouri and Arkansas, Cherokee na
tion, through New Mexico, striking the eastern
boundary of the Stale of California, a shoe
distance south of the middle, striking the
Pacific a shoit distance South of Monterey bay.
On the South of that line there are about-300 -
000 square miles, including Indian reservations,
while on the Aorth there are about 1,300 000
square miles. Of the 300,000 square miles
South of 3b ;30 there is not the slightest
probability that there could be carved out
more than one slave State. All New Mexico
comprising about 210,000 square miles, would
never become slave Territory, from the fact
that it is not adapted to slave labor. It produ
ces neither cotton nor cane. North of that
line though slavery Jwere to be legalized, it
could never exist.

employment of a gentleman of th at Cltv . wh
inquired f he had not bee,, a W,de-Awsk
Ttie answer was, ves. The ne. •
if he still had his uniform I
answered atlir ma,,vely The gentleman , h £
offered him a dollar a day s0 long ag , )e
wear the uniform. He accepted the offer an i
has made it his business ever since to aor
in his Wide-Awake habiliments. The \I
Haven JVews says that tf*e Wide- A wake 'P*
ternitv remonstrated with him about it an/."'
thus justified himself : Ul and he
"I carried this thing around, day alter dav
during the campaign, and made nothing hm
lust considerable by it. II it Wa , honorably
then, it is equally so now 3 and it j 3 gj Vjfl ;
means to pay for my board and °Y
attend to your business, ar,d I w.|| to* mine"
but if you don't like my style, furnish me bet
ter employment, and I will lay dovyr)
torch and throw away my rig."
The Yews says ""we doubt not (h ere Brtr
hundreds of young mechanics Jn this town who
during the heat of the late campaign, wanted
lime and money with the Wide-Awak r , h
would now jump at the opportunity oharnin
a dollar a day by parading through" the pnnci !
pal streets, in their uniforms."
Are there none such in Bedlord 1 Have
they got what they bargained for ? They
were told that "flush times" would lollow Lin
coln's election—plenty of work, and money
in abundance. We fear that many hundreds
are now realizing that all their marchme with
their caps and torches, to the tune ol "Hixev'i
laud," was only a march to want and woe. * "
GREELY READIJ.G OUT !—Horace Greelv has
assumed the position of drill master to the" Re
publican party, and stands with drawn sword
ready to cut down every unlucky offender who
shows any weakness or signs of wavering. His
paper gives law to the Republican members ot
Congress, and woe be to the luckless wight who
runs counter to his wishes
For instance : Mr. Corwin is told by the bes
pit of the Tribune, iual his late conservative
speech is a "singular mixture of sense and fol
ly and as to Gen. Came.on, for ezpressmg his
reading to sustain the co* iro;.,ise proportions
ol Gov. L'lgi-r, im is cunoimned without the
benefit of clergy, and kicked out of the Rep'.o
lican party !
Greelv wiil have his hands fuil fc< -'ore he is
done with his dirty work, and wiil have ?reat
trouble in keep ; -g a' his Republican friends in
the traces. But we shall see.
