Blair, of Missou ri, was one of the founders of the so called "Republican" party, and acted a prominent part in bringing out Gen. Fremont as the first candidate of that party for President, in 185 C. He was frequently elected to Congress, as the nominee of that organization and was universally regarded as one of its most able and influential leaders. He was the bosom friend of the late President, and it was through his influence that Gen. Scliofield was retained in com mand in Missouri, despite the plotting of the Radicals for his removal. He was, also, one of Sherman's bravest and most skilful generals, haviuggreat ly distinguished himself during the campaigns of that officer. But Gen. Blair finds it impossible to continuehis connection with the "Republican" par ty. He cannot stand Negro Suffrage and the other modern heresies of that organization. Hence, like an honest man, he has dissolved his former rela tions with tliat party, ami is now ac tively engaged in canvassing for the conservative Democracy. From a re cent speech delivered by the General, we quote the following palpable hits: "It is thrown 'ap to us that the pres ent is a rebel Democratic movement. The name does not scare me. 1 have fought side by side with Democrats du ring the last four years, and would rather keep company with them than with those who were rebels at first and turned Radicals afterwards because the emoluments of office lay in that direc tion. "Gen. Sherman is a fair illustration of what Radicals can do. After his great campaign which resulted in the overthrow of the rebellion and the sal vation of the country, Stanton sought to destroy him because he feared that he himself might be overshadowed by the worthy fame of the great comman der. It was the Radical Directory of France recalling the victorious Napo leon. He returned to cover his ene mies with eternal shame." A PBHUMPTIOCS FELLOW. The redoubtable Chairman of the j Abolition State Committee has pub- j lishedr what he styles a "Congratulate- i ry Address," in which he takes oeea- i sion to say some truculent things in regard to those persons who "opposed the war." Who is lie that thus arro gates to himself the right to it as a "Judge in Israel ?" Is he not the same John Cessna who acted with the Demo cratic party for two years after the war commenced ? Is he not the identical ♦"allow wh roooivftl oOu-e at tne lianas of that party, at the sam e time that it passed resolutions in opposition to the war? Is he not the very man who was a candidate for the Jjemocratic nomi nation for Governov at the time Judge. Woodward was nominated and when Yallandighani w.s the nominee in O hio? Is hi* not tne same John Cessna who as late as IF,Hi!, made speeches from the same stum p with O. E. Shannon and B. F. Mey ers, in favor of the same ticket ad vocal .ed by the latter, anil who in August of thatyear, declared, in the Court Hou'ie, in Bedford, that "the war could not lie successful until the emancipa tion Proclamation would be revoked ? " At any rate, what more did hedf, even after he became an Ab olitionist, to farther the prosecution of the war, than a thousand other men in the county, opposed to him in polities? Did he shoulder a musket and march against the rebels of whom he speaks with such awful savageness? Did he send a son, or any one near and dear to him, to tight for the. flag about which he prates so much ? Why, he did not e ven put a representative recruit into the service, thinking that the bounty fund, to which he contributed a few hundred dollars, but the principal jmrt of which the taxable citizens of Bed ford borough are now paying, would save him from the draft. la*t this pre sumptuous fellow examine his own rec ord in regard to the war, and if he has any respect for himself, he will hold his peace about other people who op posed it, or failed to do their full sliare in its prosecution. Ax outrageous election fraud has been perpetrated in Philadelphia, by which the Democratic candidate for City (Com missioner has been cheated out of his certificate of election. Even /.he Abo lition papers of Philadelphia, are, for very shame, constrained todej lounce it. It is of a piece with the sannj deviltry which was so successfully played off in this legislative district last year. What have the Abolition papers in tin is neck of the woods to say in regard to it? Do they intend, by their silence, to keep their readers in the dark about - this last act of villany perpetrated bV tricksters in their party?

"DISLOYAL" BALTIMORE. Fifteen thousand ladies of Baltimore, city, have petitioned President JOHN SON, for clemency to J KFFERS< >N DA VIS. Their prayer was carried before the President, by a committee, of whom a sister of the late JOHN J. CRITTENDEN. was the spokeswoman. JOHN W. GAR RETT, ESQ., President of the Baltimore and Ohio R.

WILL the Franklin Repository an swer us this question : Do you believe, with President Johnson, that the States which passed ordinances of secession were never out of the (<hion, and are in the Union near, or do you go with Thad deus Stevens, who holds that those states are out of the Union and are no longer states, but conquered provinces, and must be governed by Congress and the Federal Executive? No dodging, Colonel. C. M. DUNCAN, Esq., the Democratic candidate for Senator in the Franklin and Adams district, has been elected by majority, but we know that an effort will be made to "count him out." One of the men employed to do the work, lives in this town. Mr. Duncan is a good man, and we hope, will succeed in defeating the nefarious schemes of the t rieksters wh<have determined to cheat him out of his seat in the Senate. WE have some scattering 1 returns from the elections held on Tuesday, but all from Abolition sources. J min ing from these we have been defeated in New York. The Democratic ma jority in New York city is variously stated at from 2r>,(Kioto :!•",( KM I. We have nothing definite from New Jersey, but the Abolitionists claim to have carried it by a small majority. WE are still unable to give the full official vote cast in each county, at the I recent election. Why it is not publish- i ed, is, perhaps, best known to the Sec retary of theComraonwealth. We have it from "Republican" sources, that the majority against the Democratic ticket is about the same as last year, or about : 21,0(10.

HARPER'S WEEKLY: A JOURNAL OF CIVILIZATION.— FabIe tells us of a kind-hearted fool, who, finding a frozen j serpent, pitied it, placed it in his bosom, ! to warm it into life, and in return for his; pains, was struck by the poisonous fang of the revived reptile. The author of this "ower true tale," must have looked down the vista of futurity and beheld a certain "Harper," one who plays on a thousand strings, (he ought to play at the end of one) taken to the embrace of the Democratic party, who (the "Har per") after being nursed into strength by that organization, endeavored, rep tile-like, to strike it with a tooth that N —"Outvenoms all the wonns of Nile."' y' The only difference between the Two cases, is, that the man of whom fable tells, is supposed to have died, whilst the Democratic party still lives, and strange to say, some of its adherents still persist in taking this Harper to their bosom. In fact, during the last year, we harbored him in our own household, unaware, however, when we invited him across our threshold, that he had turned traitor to the party which helped to rear him, to enrich him and to give him the position which he holds in society. "Harper's Weekly, a Journal of Civilization," (it should be Harper'- Weekly, a Journal of Amal gamation) was started as a paper neu tral in politics and religion. Nay, if during the first four or five years of its : existence, it had any jxilitical leanings, [ : they were all towards the Democratic | ; party. Prior to the breaking out of the j ! war, it was pro-slavery in its tendencies ; and ridiculed and caricatured Abolition ism without stint. It had then a large circulation in the South, and, of course, found it profitable to pander to the no-! tions of its Southern readers. But, | when the war broke out, and it could no longer get money from the Southern people, it gradually changed its politics (although originally professing to have none) until at last it has become as fiercely radical as Garrison's Liln'rator,; or the Anti-Slavery Standard. Li ke the dog, it has returned to its vomit and greedily bolts all the filth it once emp tied upon the heads of the abolitionists. Week after week it fulminates its de nunciations of the Democratic party. Issue after issue is filled with misrepre sentations of the policy, and slanders ; of the representative men, of the De mocracy. Page after page is given up i to miserable political caricatures, vile | enough in their character to disgrace ! even the leaves of the Police Gazette. ; JU UJEITUILIOER UT-UMV I I, I R i then 1 is a large engraving, entitled "The True Defenders of the Constitu tion." In the foreground, a huge A.fri can is lying upon his hack, with an IUS i ket in hi- hand. In the background are I some other men in a recumbent p >i tion, but whether white or black, i sol diers or citizen-, the dimness of outline precludes u- from telling with certain ty. This picture is typical of the pn s ent political predilections of this turi coat pictorial. It keeps the negro in th ? foreground and places the white man in : the rear. It gives the glory of victory in the late war, to the colored soldier, , and assigns the white hero an inglo rious position in the background. It ' advocates the enfranchisement of the ! blacks and the disfranchisement of white men. It would empoverish the white people of the South and give their property to the ignorant, depraved and thriftless negro. Such are the doctrines of this renegade sheet. Yet, Democrats buy it, subscribe for it, and circulate it. Is it any wonder that our political op ! ponents succeed, when we thus assist them in disseminating their doctrines? f Brethren of the Democratic Press! fail to discharge our duty to our party,' and to our country, if we do not warn ! I the public against the malignant influ-| i ence of the pestiferous publications,! which under the garb of neutrality, conceal the stiletto of secret enmity to j the Democracy. Let us Is* true to Tlttf* "Trust, and we will be able to show the publishers of Harper's Weekly , and of i all similar journals, that treachery, falsehood and slander "will not pay," in this country; and in thus teaching decency to such publications, we shall do good, not merely to our own organ- ! ization but to the public generally and white men in particular.

About the year 162G, in a town of \ Km nee, called Chantillon, there existed j an humble, rural pastor. It happened j that during his ministry, it serious ease ' of distress came under his notice. The good man recommended, from the pulpit, to the charity of his congrega tion, a poor family in the neighbor hood. At the conclusion of divineser viee, moved by bis appeal, numbers went forth to assist the distressed ones. Some brought bread, others meat, oth ers, again, vegetables. After vespers, or evening service, the pastor himself proceeded to thehoi ne of poverty; and, Am his way, met a crowd of liis parish ioners returning from the scene of mis ery. When he arrived at the abode of distress, "Behold," said lie, "an abun dant supply of everything for this poor family. But there is no order or judg ment displayed, in all this profusion of charity. The most of these provisions will spoil, and the poor people, the ob ! jects of this benevolence, will l>e as bad ly off as ever." The happy thought ! then occurred to him to form a eharit | able society, whcse members should be specially trained to manage the inter i estsof the j>oor, in a judicious, econom ical way. Pious ladies of the first fam ilies in thi' land, soon offered their vul i uable services, and went to work, ac cording to a rule drawn up by this man | of God and approved of by the spirit ual authorities. This was "the mus tard seed," the germ of that charitable association of world-wide fame, styled "THK SISTERS OFCHA in TV," whose s i im- nal services, during our late civil war, to our sick, wounded, dying soldiers in hospitals and on battle-fields, are so well known all over the United States. The immortal founder of this benev olent Institute, was the humble Vin cent I)e Paul, justly deserving the titie of "Benefactor of the Human Race." T. B. For the Bedford Gazette. SCHOOL HEFOR.M--XO. a. HAI> PENMANSHIP. —We are a sen oration of bad penmen. Formerly the ability to write a beautiful hand was earnestly striven for and highly prized: now such an accomplishment is rarely found, lawyers, Doctors, Preachers and Teachers write a hand that is re markable only for its irregularity and ugliness, and think it quite good em >ugh. •Thetlaysof beautiful penmanship seem to have passed away. Such a thing is not expected now, and many even seem to take pride in their wretched chirog raphy. Very few pupils learn to write well i in the common schools. Hardly one in twenty learns to write what may be called a {food hand. I have not found : ten in the county who can write a beau tiful hand. This is deplorable, hut it is the fact. The branch is generaJly neg lected. Instruction in it is generally J a failure. The chief reasons for this ' unfortunate condition of things are, in ' my judgment, the ...„ . 1. The materials used by pupils are of the most wretched kind. Paper of the thinnest, roughest, and cheapest i quality; pens of the commonest and cheapest make; and ink that is not fit to write with at all; these are the m; v terials with which hoys and girls arA expected to write. The best penman could hardly write a legible hand with the same materials, and yet parents wonder and grumble that their chil dren do not write better. ■l. The copies are nearly all written by the teachers, and the teachers are nearly all unable to write a copy that is a model fit for a child to imitate. J Hence it follows that nearly all our pu- I pits are imitating models which, even iif perfectly imitated, would only make Jus. I penmen of them. We are aware t.tta t many of our teachers will think these strong assertions; hut we have considered our words and mean what we say. About thirty teachers in the < county are marked 1, or within a frac tion of 1, in Penmanship, and these are nil who can write a suit able model tor a-pupil to Imitate. The others are hel ping to rear up a generation of indif ferent penmen; and they'<~an donoth ! ing else while they writ 1 indifferent copies for their pupils to in litate. \ fi. The s.une teacher seld< un teaches r a school tw 'O terms in succession, nor J do any two teachers write alik. -• Hence 1 the style cf writing formetl by one teacher, is broken up and al/ered by the next. This goes on year aft- ?r year. Pupils have e different model .to imi jt'.ite every year, and, consequently, nev •er form any settled style of wri ting, i nor learn to imitate any model well. It follows, therefore, that even with good materials and with teachers all* a ble to write suitable models, we should still fail to make good penmen. No one who tries a new style of writing every year, will he likely to form affix ed and beautiful hand, however excel lent in itself each of these styles may be. I The remedy for all this is simple, cheap and effectual. The idea that teachers should write the copies has long ago been proved erroneous by the most thorough tests that experience can apply. They should not write the copies. <tn the contrary, some system of penmanship should be adopted, and copy books with engravedeopiesshould be used. The models in these are per fect, and they are carefully graded front the simplest to the most difficult to suit all ages and grades of pupils. These books are made of the best of paper, and weshould thusgetridof the wretch ed flimsy stuff now used by a majority of the pupils ill the county. It is true the books cost t trifle more than poor paper, but so little that few would grudge it. In addition to this, let pa rents see that their children have the best pens and tie best ink. This done, its chief causes that have made us a generation of lad penmen will have been removed, and a few years will im- prove penmanship in our common schools more than one hundred per cent. All will then copy after the same models, and form much the same style of writing, and the writing of one can be as easily read as that of another. In most of our districts, Ellsworth's System of Penmanship is now adopted, and arrangements are made to use his books. It is to la? hoped that directors and teachers will see to it that they are exclusively used. It is also to he hoped that parents will co-operate with di rectors and teachers in carrying out tin's much mailed reform. J. W. lIICKE'RSON, Co. Sup't. SKCKKT HISTORY. the Money cam*' fro in to elect Mr. Lincoln—Contractors Lcvicl upon for liis Electioneering Eunl— The Amount of Contributions "to Correspond with the Patronage Received." The Cincinnati Gazette publishes the full testimony in the case of Col. J. C. Crane, an inspector of the CQuartermas ter's Department, who was tried by court martial, in July last, upon numer ous charges of dishonesty in office. The fifth was as follows: Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. Specification. —"ln this: that Col. John C.Crane, inspector, &e., having been duly assigned, did write, cause to be written, issued and send, and caused to lie issued and sent, to Wm. Seniple, A. B. Scruple and others, whose names are unknown, the said Wm. Scrapie and others being engaged in furnishing .sup plies for the use of said military rail roads, a circular and letter, a portion of which circular and letter, is in the let ters and figures, and of the tenor follow ing: "To secure the election in every State beyond the possibility of a doubt, not only does it require the patriotic efforts of every man, but it also requires money for campaigning purposes. It is expected that you that have received the liberal patronage of the government will willingly lend your means to the attainment of the object named. "I am authorized to say, gentlemen, to those who respond cheerfully to this call, that patronage heretofore extend ed to them, shall, without doubt, lie continued. In the transmitting of your subscription, it is expected that the a mount will correspond with the patron age you have received." This charge was sustained upon the trial by direct evidence of parties who had contributed to the Lincoln fund raised bv Col. Crane. One witness, Archibald P. Cochrane, testified that Col. Crane purchased sup plies from their firm on or about the first of November, 1804, and at other times before, which were furnished af terwards; that Col. Crane solicited mo ney from the firm to pay election ex penses. Witness produced a circular from Col. Crane, asking for contribu tions, the genuineness of which the ac cused admitted.

Answer —J had come to the military | railroad department from home, for the , purpose of settling our accounts, and 1 stepped into Col.

Wars ago when we were blessed with a Union, that was cemented by the ai fections of the peoples —when virture and intelligent, were the stepping stones to position—when honesty and truthfulness marked the course of our public servants—when economy in pub lic expenditures, was demanded by the people—when corruption, bribery, or fraud in office, was punishable by the law—when taxation was low, and ev erybody prosperous, happy and content —when negros worked for their living, and were not fed out of the public trea sury —-when a man-was recognized as a man and not as a white-washed nigger —when our government was admired at home and respected abroad —when | the Constitution, not the whims of the President, was considered the supreme law of the land—when our fathers, the glorious old rebels of '7<, administer I the affairs of our country, abolitionism was looked upon as a crying sin, audits 1 i advocates as tories, traitors, and fools.

The Cholera at w York, NKW YORK, NOV. 3.— THE steamship Atlanta, from London, arrived here last night and has been ordered to the low erquarantine inconsequence of sickness among her passengers.

She has been sent to the lower bay and all communication with her forbidden. NEW YORK, NOV. 3,3 T- M.—Dr. Burdett, Quarantine Surgeon, reports thatthere were fifteen deaths by cholera on the steamship Atlanta out of CO or (K) CB.S6S. A special meetingofthe Health Com missioners was held at noon to-day in consequence of the reported presence of cholera. The committee appointed at the last meeting to draft a memorial petitioning the General Government for the use of lands at Sandy Hook for a quarantine, representing the hflcasa p..(£ w. ri ni^ the introduction of the cholera, and that the authorities of New \ ork are without a proper place to establish a quarantine to meet the anticipated e mergency. in this dilemma they earn estly request the General Government to grant, for a temporary quarantine ground, so much of the land as may be needed now owned by the government at Sandy Hook the lower bay. The memorial was adopted, and l>rs. Sayres, Anderson and Mayor Cleveland, were appointed a committee to proceed to Washington and lay the matter be fore the government.
