The Democratic meeting on Monday eve nhlfe l ß gt, was a spirited gathering, and showed that the Democrats of Bedford county are a live to tho importance ci keeping up theft' par ty organisation. 1 here cannot, however, bo too much vigilance exercised by the Democra cy, and we would impress upon tho minds of out friends throughout tho county, tho neces sity of- preparation for the coming spring elec tions. It i 3 true, the offices to be filled at those elections, are of a petty character, but tbry, nevertheless have often an important bearing upon the fall election. Our opponents are al ready at work in many of the districts. They know the importance cf crying tho election boards and they hopo to steal a march on us, by quietly obtaining votes from tiia army. In order to enable them to do this, they have bad an act passed, permitting soldiers to send heme votes. They think that because they were enabled to succeed last fall, by fraudulent re turns from the army, they can win again by the practice of similar trickery. We, therefore, urge Democrats to be on their guard. All tSat is necessary to defeat this schema of the enemy, is watchfulness and energy. The ersnio game was recently tried by the Abolitionists in Lan caster, but to no purpose. Mayor Sanderson, Democrat, was re-elected by 2G9 majority, a gain of 142 over last year, notwithstanding the returns from the army. Let the Democrats cf close districts make their nominations at suce and send tickets to the army with proper blanks fur proxies. This done, let every Democrat turn out to the election. Let there *>e commit tees appointed to get oat the indifferent and let every man work! We have netv each an ascen dency in this county, as with proper activity, will enable us to place our majority next fall at 1,000. Dally, Democrats, and prepare for ;bo conflict I . Gov. Curtin's Letter to the President. We rail the attention of our readers to the very able and patriotic letter of Gov. Curtin to the President of the United States, on the cub jget cf the enforcement of Iho eomctipiiori in Pennsylvania. We have frequently eniinaii * terted upon iho very anjo wrongs of which Gov. Curtin complains, and have been soundly abused by the lick-spittle Administration press for doing Now, that the identical com plaints which we have uttered, from linis to time, in regard to the assignment of quotas and the execution of drafts, come from one who speaks ex caSitdra, we hope the toadies cf Mr. Lincoln, will acknowledge that they were wrong and we were right—that our course was patri otic arid theirs against the rights and interests of tho people. We ask every one win reads the letter of Gov. Curtin, to vanfk that be de clares the system of drafting adopted by the War Department unjust and disastrous to tho industrial classes of tho country—that bo shows the alleged deficiency under the last call, to he mora than the call itself, and that Pennsylva nia's quota under that call has been filled; thus fixing upon the administration at Washington, a deliberate attempt to defraud Ike State of Pennsylvania out of a credit due her of 50,000 men. In the name of our conscription-ridden people, we thank the Governor, for this manly protest, on their behalf, against the usurpation snd oppression of tha War Department.

Tb# Abolition Amendments i'be proposed amendment to Oanstitiilion, 1 abolishing slavery within tie United Statei,/ having passed the Senate some lime ago, cam* i y p for consideration in the lower Hottsa of Can-1 grecs on last Tuesday week, and a for much speechifying, pro awl ton., was adopted. Should , this amendment prevail in thnw-iourths of the I states, it will become a part of <he Constitution. I Our opinions on this sebjeci, have been so fre quently expressed, that vre need not repent them here. Sufico it to say, that wa believe the ab olition of slavery, by this procesr, to be an out rage upon the rigflts-of the slave-hold:/. states still adhering to tho Union, and an insuperable barrier iri the way of a:: early peace. Tho | adoption c: this amendment will not only de prive the people cf the revolted states (should the rebel armies be l;spers d| of n large portion of their property, but will iufiict a sever* blow upon the material prosperity of thousands of families in Delaware and Kentucky. Thus, the injustice of the measure is apparent. As in the case of Savannah, there may be slave-holders in every portion cf the South wlfb would wel come the restoration of the old flag, if it were j lent to protect thcra in their rights. But this | amendment strikes at their right of property | and hence they aro driven io seek protection under the sheltering ;egia of Jefferson Davis. It has been, doubtless, a matter of surprise ar.d mortification to many of our readers, that Gen-. Coffroih and some th'rtee* other members of Congress elected as Democrats, shouid have been found voting fog) this amendment. We feel that we cannot do this part of the subject justice. In fact we are thoroughly disgusted with the discussion of the interminable negro question, and would fain turn our attention to subjects which more nearly concern tha inter ests and welfare of that neglected portion of the human race, the white people of ths country. The Peace Question. , Message of the President en tho Subject Tha I'cacc Conference between Messrs. Lln ' coin and Seward, of the United States, and i Alexander 11. Stephens, R ?J T. Hunter and i J. A. Campbell, of the Confederate States, re ) suited, :ts our readers are aware, in no agree ! meat between ttie parties. It appears that all the Southern coninissioiiers asked, was, n eu- J pension of hostilities, with a view to a gradual ' disbanding cf both armies, and a ecmniereis! ] treaty between the North ;.nd the South, in > order to pave the way to re-unien. They did • not declare that they would never consent to return to the Union. But Messrs. Lincoln 'and Seward gave them to understand that r; > • peace could be had except by unconditional ruibmir.-ion on their part and their acceptance !of the abolition programme. Thus tho inevi table rrgro was again permitted to stand in the way of peace and re-union. Mr. Lincoln has sen J into Conpress, a message, giving the cor- I respondence between the parties prior to their [ meeting and the following brief account of tho ' interview: • Or. the morning of the 2d the gentlemen, , ' Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and Campbell, came j S aboard of our steamer find had au interview . i with the Secretary of Stnto and myself of sev-1 ! erst hours' duration. No question o; preliml- i ! caries to the meeting was hr a av J there made | ior mentioned. No other person was present;! ; no papers were exchanged or produced; and it { was, in advance, agreed that the conversation I : was to he informal, and verbal merely, j On our part, the whole substance of the in- 1 . stru tions to the Secretary of State, feereinbe ; iyra fecit*-vn- stated and insisted upon, and nod Lev as said iacaemsfe ntiy therewith; while ; by the other party it was not said that, in any ; event, or on any condition, they ever would con • sent to reunion, and yet they equally omitted I to declare that they never would so consent. — s Tfcey fcimd to desire a postponement of that '• i question, and the adoption of some other course ■ first, which, as some of them seemed to arena, i might or might not lead to reunipa, but *Lich ; course, we thought, would lead to an indefinite j postponement. The conference ended without ' result. The feregojpg, containing, as is believ ; ed, all the information sought, is respectfully j submitted.

Meyers, and John Palmer, Esqs. The Com mittee having agreed upon a report, the chair man, ALr. E. F. Kerr presented, for tho con sideration of the meeting, the following resolu tions, wb.ch vrero unanimously adopted: Whereas, The Republic WHS founded upon the theory of the Democratic party, to wit, that the Federal Government is cne of limited pow ers, delegated to it in the. Constitution, and that all powers not so delegated, are reserved to the States and to the people; and whereas a disre gard for this just and wiiolesome doctrine, on ilia part of the political party which is now in power, has resulted in a dissolution of the Un ion and civil war, and whereas the bloody ex periinen t of centralization and consolidation, j has nttculy failed to r%#*-rs the Union and eo ; cure peace, therefore, j Re U i't solved, That in order t re-establish ; tha governjnent of the Constitution and to ee | cure peao and tranquility with.it the borders | of the Republic, the rights of the states and i of tae pet]pU, reserved and guaranteed to theta | by the Ccasiitution, must bo maintained, anil i to this cad the National Democratic Party must j bo restored to power. Resolved, That the fanaticism which aim? at the equaliz ?.tion of the white and black races, j and which ijfow fiuds its most prominent expo nents in the leaders of the "Republican" party, ; must prove disastrous to both races and will re • sntt in such conliict between them as will bring i about the extermination of one, or the other. | Resolved* That the corruptions and crimes i of the officials connected with the present ad ministration, a3 exhibited in the Weed-Op dyko ens.i, ia the J*ow York Custom House frauds. in the robbery of the Philadelphia Cus tom Ilouso and the greSt copper-theft in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and in many other notable instances, deserve the. condemnation, a? they es cite the eUgnst, of honest men of nil panics- Rtwhxd, That it is the right of citizens ar rested dor violation of the Conscription Law, to bat ried according to she provisions of tha: law, nn 1 that we, therefore, call the attention of the Departr.ent to the fact Ibat citi zens of this county been arrested and im prisoned under pref nee of having violated that law, without being trud according to its pro j visions, itnd we her- .y demand redress for these 1 grisva to our injured fellow citizens. ' Res'.>!ved, That wo recommend obedience to the law? of the land, on tha part of the Fr ?i --! dent as well as the people, and iu the language ; of Gt v. Cnrtin, in his recent letter to Mr. 1 a,, jj v. e lit-i. t ti.u. ujftii iUi.cwt..r.... $ "en— j force v pon his subordinates that obedi-mcn to the law which he owes, as well as thev and nil [ of us." Re-vhtth That the Imw between the Demo* | oeradc and Abolition parties, has been, for j years, and particularly since the existence of i the pirrsi-nt rebellion, "The Constitution as it is, j and übc Union as it was." In violation of the J trust reposed in him, Alexander H. Coffroth, | th-j 11 \trnsentativc of this district in Congress, ' has voted against tfie party that placed him I where be is and has seen proper, for some rea i or other, to betray those who have placed j mere confidence in him than ha deserved, giv i iiig bj bis vote to amend the Constitution, the ! victory to tba abolition party, and putting the Demorzatic party in a falsa position i t'/.-a the the country. For this act of base trcacherv, he should receive tha atom, contempt and o >r.- j demoation of every sound democrat in thodis j * net. Ho has forfeited their confidence and ! should go down with these who have ;one be fore hire, n3 unworthy the confidence of any party —a disgrace to h, positian and a Uishon •cr to the District. Resolved, That we despise tli> petty trickery -of the leaders of the "Republican" party of our Congressional, Judicial anddLegislative districts, by which the Democratic candidates for Con gress, .fudge and Legislature, although fairly elected by a majority of the legal voters of the respective districts, and lawfutlly certified to be so elected by the return judges of the several districts, were defrauded out of their rights to those cilice?; and that we will seize the first J opportunity to avenge the wrong thus perpe j trated upon the Democracy of these districts, by giving a clear Democratic majority in every one of them, over "Republican" frauds and every thing else. Resolved , That the attempt to "whitewash" the outrages perpetrated by the Republican wire-pullers upon the people of our Congres sional, Judicial and Legislative districts, by getting up a one-sided investigation, is too trans parent to deceive even the most unsuspecting mind and thef its object i- we'd understood by the Democracy of Bedford county. /ieschw'f, That O. E. Shannon, Esq., be and lie is hereby elected one of the Representative delegates for this Representative district, to the next Democratic State Convention, and that wet recommend to the conventions of Fulton ami Somerset counties, that each county cf the district be considered as entitled to cno delegate 30 I;'; g as the present apportionment Jasis KeiCikvd, That we earnestly recommend * ' j thorough organization of tla par iy throughout ; the county, for the cowing Spring elections, be lieving that the Democracy need only be firm iu ; j their struggle with fanaticism, to he crownrd < with biiwtfe?s in tlie end, find, therefore, orgs ' upon every Democrat the importance of his do ing'bis whole duty in the premises.

Stephens and associates did no in ,•' <£ I J ta:s general conversation intimate whether they j would or would not accept anything else but recognition tad independence. What they did , j s:.v was that tL?y did not desire to fix any ul tixiatum as a darting point in their negotiations. ( Tae n'tiuiatuiii was a question which, it their ; j opinion, should t> arrived at through nvgotia- , I lice as the terms of settlement, and not fixed , asthe starling point. They asked that com mis ! si tiers, veste 1 with full powers to treat pn peace, I shtuld La appointed by both sides, and that i ih.ro should La an armistice while negotiations ! , were pending. This was the sum and substance j . of their demand, which they claimed was e- i eeaar to work their people up to the point of : reuiic . or any other demand of the federal gov- ! ernaient. ! > MR.
