BEDIDRD —BEDFORD, Pa.— FRIDAY : MAY 3,1861 B.F. Meyers, Editor & Proprietor. The Olive Branch with the Sword. ••Blessed are the p?ace-makers ; for they shall be called the children of God.— Matthew, s th Chap., 9th verse. Whilst we hold that the people ol the South ate seeking a remedy tor their wrongs in an im proper and unlawful manner, and whilst we are ready and wilHng to lend all the aid we can to the General Government in putting down rebellion, yet we must confess that we wooid much prefer a peaceful settlement of the exist ing troubles, and as no plan tor such a settlement has yet been offered by the uovernment to the people, we have no good reason to believe it would not be adopted by a large majority in both sections. There is a frenzied feeling in the North as well as in the South, that will be ag gravated to madness shouid there be further blood-shed. The details of toe consequences of a popular outbreak such as would follow the announcement of the first battle between the opposing forc-s, will be too horribie for pen to relate. God only knows what ruin and deso lation would follow in the track of such a con test. But let there be an armistice ftll, the meeting of Congress on the fouith of July.— Then let that body submit a plan for the peace ful adjustment of our unfortunate difficulties.— Let it "be the Crittenden plan, cr some other similar one, which will give the Southern peo ple their rights, and at the same time preserve the dignity and integrity of the Union. This done, our word for it that Virginia and all the Border States will be mollified, and restored in * their loyalty, whilst the Contederated Slates, operated upon by the eight slave States remain ing in the Union, will eventually return to the fold. We have been induced to make these re marks by the appeal of that distinguished Ken tuckian and true Union raaD, James Guthrie, to the peace-loving and patriotic people of the North, made ir his great speech recently deliv ered at Louisville. To Mr. Guthrie we are in debted, more than to any other leading Ken tuckian, for the continued fidelity to the Union of his noble old State. Wnen such men as he appeal to the "still small voice" yet crying for peace throughout the North, we cannot refrain from making a gental r~pnrw* Whilst we ' ~u. it fig^ l " yet let us write upon our near <tiK ~,Jel iblf characters of undying memory, " BLESSED ARE RAT P*ACE-MKER9 ?" A Modest Request. The latest dodge of those disinterested patri ots, the Republican wire-pullers, is to tell Dem ocrats that they have abandoned Republicanism and that Democrats ought to abandon Democ racy , and all 'unite together to rally around the Administration of old Abe Lincoln. The mod esty of this request is equalled only by its fox like shrewdness. Republicans have nothing to lose by rallying around the Administration of Mr. Lincoln, but have everything to gain it they can induce Democrats to join them in doing so. We are coolly asked to abandon our principles and our organization, and the men who ask us to do so are the very identical stiff-necked zeal ots who told us 6!>lv t wo months ago that they could not and they would not sacrifice any of their principles to vote for the CrittiV'den Com- any other measure to save the Union. They must imagine Democrats to be a set of drivelling fools if they expect them to swallow such a bait as this. For our part, we will sus tain the Government cheerfully and to the best of our ability, in putting down rebellion, but as to giving up cur principles, or counselling the abandonment of the Democratic organization, we can never be guilty of such treachery to the party we delight to honor, and w hose creed is the very Constitution for which all good pa triots arp contending. Bear in Mind. The Government of the United States is not composed solely of Abraham Lincoln and his Cabinet. It consists of three distinct co-ordi nate and co-equal branches, the Legislative, Executive had Judicial. Mr. Lincoln and his Cabt -> are, the-efore, only a third part of the Government, viz: the Executive. Conse quently, when wp speak of sustaining the Government, we da not mean the endorsement of the Lincoln Administration, we do not mean the deliberate swallowing ofthe political doc trines of the President, but we mean the aid ing and assisting of the Executive in executing the laws framed by the Legislative department of th Government, as expounded by the Judiciary. We can, therefore, sustain the Government without; endorsing Lincoln's Ad ministration. The Republican leaders are at present employed in endeavoring to blindfold Democrats in regard to this matter, and hence we feel called upon to make this noticp. Bear in mind that you can sustain the Government a Democrats, you can give countenance to the Executive in executing the law; (which is his sworn duty) without endorsing the political measures of his Administration. No More Lynch Law, Our Republican friends ask us to support the Government. This we are doing, have always done, and will continue to do. There is not a Democrat in Bedtord county that will reluse to do it. It is our duty and that is sufficient for us. But, now, we ask o! you, Republicans, that you cease Tiaking threats against your neighbors, that you cease persecuting them, because they do not think with you in regard to the causes and policy that inaugurated the present war.— You ask us to unite with you in sustaining the Government. We answer, we will do so, but you must allow us the same freedom of opinion which you enjoy. We are Union men, Union to I he core, all of us, we have always been such, aye, we were Union men when you sneered and scoffed at us for our efforts to preserve the Union. The Stars and Stripes have always been our flag, yes, were our flag when you re fused to fight under them in Mexico, were our fl3g when in IBf)fi, you blotted filleen ol the stars from the constellation, and will be our flag till the last ray ot hope for our country dies within our breast. Then make us no tests.— Raise no mobs. Let us alone in our opinion. And thus you will thoroughly unite th* people in the cheerful and willing support ot the Gov ernment. We do not ask }his as a favor. We ask it as our light, and we will have it, no matter at what cos*.

M tzger, Esq., ' i returned to this place, on Monday last, from a | lour through '.he South. Mr. M. vis.ted I Charleston, and Savannah, and made a consid ' earble sojourn at Montgomery, tne capita! of the C. S. A. He represents the people of the ! Seceded States to be in a state of great excite- I ment, and determined to achieve I heir indepen j dence at any cost, men, boys and negroes, to the last one able to carry a gun, enlisting tor the j conflict. He also informs us'that the same kind jof terrorism exists there that now exhibits it self among the more intolerant friends of the Government in the North. Truly, we hive fallen upon evil times, when feelings of such deadly hostility prevail between men who once were friends and ought now to love each other as brothers. . .. .Thp new Military Company, the uTay lor Guards," Capt.

A party of scouts went out to reconnoitre, and found that holes had been i bored into trees, filled with powder, plugged, i and then discharged by the application of a slow-match. We hope we may never have a I more serious bombardment. j j . ...Capt. Lyons' Company, the old "Bed j ford Riflemen," has reached the number nect ss | ary for its acceptance by the Governor. The i ( aptain has tendered the services of the Oom | pany, nd as the Government has called upon Pennsylvai: ! a lor additional tioops, we have no doubt the gallant feljows compo.-ing this com pany, will have an opportunity to do their du !!y ere long. The "Bedford Rifle urn" have | always been favorites of ours, and we wis£ well wherever tbey may go. ....We were on the police a few nights ago, but had no adventures with midnight as sassins, highway robbers, nor even with hen roost thieves, or belated "sparks". Two of our fellow watchmen arrested a pair of travelling carpet-bags, over which they boasted wonder fully. Ouronly exploit was taking prisoner one of our brother "perlees," who had wonder ed out of his "beat," and was bending his steps in a direction winch we were fearful briug him to his bier. There is a rumor prevalent here that a case of lynching was attempted at Woodberry, a tew days ago. We hope for the good name ol the jeop!e of that neighborhood, that it is not true. We suppose that it is one of the thou sand and one dying reports that are started no one knows how, and without the slightest foun dation. There is a law for the punishment of treason. Let the people resort to that and not their own base passions. There is also a law lor the punishment of /(* imprisonment , ri ots, assault and battery, muraer , &c.

I have added nothing to it. subtracted ] nothing from it, said nothing about publicly, since the war began, f know well that lam right, and that in a little while "the sober sec ond thought ot the people" will dissipate the present sudden and fleeting madness, and will demand to know why thirty millions ot people are butchering each other in civil war, and will arresi it speedily.

THE BLOCKADE OF SOUTHERN PORT9.—Wash ington, Apni 28 Some excitement has teen produced in diplomatic circle*, growro* out ol the proclamation ol the President directing a i blockade of the Southern ports. It appear* that : a blockade, to be respected bv loreian powers i not Ul,| y be effective, but rbat due notice' j uniit be given ot such intention to their repre sentatives. With Brazil and all the South A meritao government*, a notice ol nimty da\s i* required under treaty. But this has not been j given by our government. Hence consign ment* ol coffee and other natural products de signed for Southern ports are delayed in their transportation to that portion of the couotry, the merchants not being satisfied of'the effects ;of immediate blockade. It has therefore be ! come neces arv that specific inquiries be made ol '.tie Federal government in relation to this subject, so that treaty rights and privileges be not damaged. The toreign ministers will in sist that the stipulation* shall be respected and observed, other wise naval lorces will be d.spatched hither as a means of foreign protec tion. The delicacy of the question is apparent I and horn what is known, may involve serious' ' consequences to all concerned ; at all event* produce trouble now as well as in the future. BALTIMORE, April C7, 10 A. AL._ WE have had a day o| unpiecedented excitement. No pen can describe it. Fortunately no fighting has y< t taken place. All Baltimore is inarms to defend themselves and the city. There are no v but three thousand Northern troop* quartered at Cockey svdle. tWe just have | what appears to be official information horn I Washington, that President Lincoln has given | orders for the troops to return to Harrisburg. There ?enm but one feeling here now, and that is unity tor Baltimore, Maryland and the South, with hopes for peace and an amicable j adjustment. Kvery House in our city has be i com" a peifeet barricade. j Our people have no animosities, no ill-feeling : against their Northern brethren ; but it is held a ooint of honor that armed troop* shall not pa** through Maryland to coerce the South. Nor thern civilians among us are treated with the same cordiili'y and friendship that they ever : were. Not ihe slightest animosity prevails. FILLER.—On Monaay, April 8:h inst., Margaret K. Filler, in the 20th year of her 1 a o ,,# The death nf this young lady is deeply felt and witf-ly mourned. To her natuial vndow ntenls of ir.ind and hear', which secured the fs | teem and affection of her acquaintances, were added, we trust, the richer adornments of reli gion. I nteiested in tfie covenant ol Christ, with views of the plan of salvation remarkably clear, and exercises of mind, though not stri le ingly marked, yet such as indicate the spe | cial operations of divine grace, ''we mourn not as those who have no hope." She was not a communing member of the church. Although she had in contemplation a public profession of i religion several months before her death, unim paired health and other causes prevented; she spake but little to others of her religious exerci | ses and prospects, hut her mind was evidently much occupied with eternal realities. The e venitig 'of tier death, when a christian friend was reading one of the Psalms, she anticipated 1 the reader and quoted, in a clear calin voice, a passage referriog to the harmonizing of the di vine attributes in the work of redemption "Mercy and truth are met together; rigbteou , i ness and peace have kissed each other."
