BADICAL OPINION'S OE SIMON CAM
ERON.
The rage and fury of the Radical
leaders at the nomination of Gen. Cam
eron, by their representatives in the
Legislature, are beyond description.
They know that Cameron cares no more
about the success of their revolutionary
schemes than he does about the ques
tion whether the moon is made of green
cheese. They don't own him. lie is
nobody's man but Simon Cameron's.
Hence, the howls of chagrin and dis
appointment with which they receive
his nomination. We give a few speci
mens of these Radical ululations.
At a caucus of the C'urtin and Stevens
men, held a few hours previous to the
nomination of Cameron. Gen. Fisher,
Senator from Lancaster, said: "I be
lieve the election of Simon Cameron to
the Senate of the United States, at this
time, would be the greatest disaster
that could happen the Republican par
ty." Mr. Billingfelt, the other. Senator
from Lancaster, said, 0:1 the same occa
sion: "A great crime is to be perpe
trated to-night. The high office of U
nited States Senator is to be bargained
away for gain... .He, for one, should n< 4
become a party to a movement thai
would bring dishonor and disgrace, not
only upon the members of the Legisla
ture, but upon their constituents and
the great 'Republican'party of Penn
sylvania." Messrs. Fisher and Billing
felt refused to go into the Radical cau
cus. Col. Lemuel Todd, of Cumber
land, a leading Radical, said: "I have
no hesitancy in saying that the election
of Simon Cameron would be the worst
calamity that could befall the State. 11
would be a dishonor, not only to the
State, but to every member of the Re
publican party Better, ten thous
and times, that no election should be
made than that Cameron should dis
grace us." We find these speeches re
ported in Forney's Press. The same
paper, of the 11th inst., has the follow
ing in regard to the nomination of
Cameron: "There has never been so
studied a violation of public sentiment
and public decency, as this nomination.
Although a large body of our trusted
champions appeared on the ground,
protesting against the selection of Cam
eron and warning the Union members
of the dangers of such a step, their ap
peals and admonitions were alike dis
regarded." The Pittsburg Commercial,
the principal Radical paper in Western
Pennsylvania, holds the following lan
guage: "Few men can expect to sur
vive the odium of supporting Simon
Cameron, in the direct violation of their
professions, in flagrant disregard of the
instructions of their constituents, and
in contempt of public opinion. They
who shall do so, will speedily dig their
political graves, do that which will go
far to insure the scorn of honorable
men, and raise a cloud over their mem
ory so long as it shall live."
If all this be true (and it must be, for
Radicals never lie!) what a set of ras
cals, those members of the Legislature
must be who will cast their vote for
Cameron for U. S. Senator ! Why, the
majority in that body, are written
down, by the leading politicians and
presses of their own party, as so many
corrupt and unprincipled scoundrels,
men who would disgrace the State, and
what is infinitely worse, dishonor and
ruin their party! Well, the quarrel is
in their family, and we are quite wil
ling tliey shall fight it out.
LET it be observed that the Supreme
Court of the United States, the high
est judicial authority in the country,
the tribunal 'which decides all dispu
ted Constitutional questions, sustain
the Democracy in their opposition to
the trial of citizens not in the military
or naval service of the United States,
by Military Commissions, or Courts
Martial. Every word uttered by the
Democrats against the persecution of
Vallandigham, Dr. Olds, Mr. Maho
ney, J. W. Wall, and other leading
Democrats, is sustained by the decision
of that court in the Milligan case. Re
member that even JUDGE CHASE,
Secretary of the Treasury,
was compelled to concur in this decis
ion. Thus are the Democracy vindica
ted.
THE PRESIDENT IMPEACHED.
The impeachment of President John
son was one of the threats of the dem
agogue during the last political can
vass. Accompanying the vituperation
and exaggerations of an unusually vi
olent campaign, from every radical
platform and press, arose the menace
to depose the President for violation of
the Constitution and abuse of power.
When the facts were demanded upon
which to base such grave charges, the
radicals generally retreated amid a con
fusion.of empty words and an absurd
jargon about removals from office.
Outside the circle of ultra-radicals and
their fanatical or ignorant partisans,
the subject, when mentioned, excited
contempt or indignation only, accord
ing to the temperament of the listen
er. But the hyperbole of the stump
has at last been put into a resolution
instructing the Judiciary Committee
of the House of Representatives to in
quire into the official conduct of the
President. The immaculate Ashley,
of Toledo, Ohio, who promised his con
stituents last fall, "not to give sleep to
his eyes nor slumber to his eve-lids un
til President Johnson was impeached,"
introduced the resolution, which was
passed by a strict party vote, all the
Radicals supporting it except Raymond
of New York, and the venerable Judge
Spalding, of Ohio.
Thus the menace of the political
campaign is fulfilled in this initiatory
step towards impeachment; Ashley,
the insomnious, has redeemed his he
roic pledge, and—we shall hear no more
of the subject during the present Con
gress. For it is not probable that the
Judiciary Committee will be able (if
willing) to report before thecloseof the
present Congress, when it will be too
late to act.
Practically, the only effect of this bra
vado of impeachment, has been a slight
flutter in the Wall St. money market.
But capital is proverbially timid, and
instinctively takes alarm at every ten
dency towards violent measures. Else
where the movement attracts no atten
tion, notwithstanding the melo-dra
matic air of the sleepless Ashley and
the owlish solemnity of the House.
What gives the resolution still less
significance, is that the impeachment
was not agreed upon in caucus, Mr.
Ashley having foolishly resolved to
redeem his promise, without coasult
ing that formidable body. For the
caucus of Thaddeus Stevens is as pow
erful at Washington as Marat's Com
mittee of Public Safety in revolution
ary France, with the conscious disposi
tion, but lacking only the power, to
exercise the mercies of the guillotine.
It is useless to speculate, at this early
day, on the probable course of the next
Congress, in regard to impeachment;
when the hero of Fort shall re
ceive the radical lash from the palsied
hands of Thad. Stevens.
THE ELECTION OF F. S. SENATOR.
We presume the election of Simon
Cameron to the United States Senate,
is a fixed fact, though, at this writing,
we have not heard whether he has been
chosen. But we know that he is the
nominee of the Mongrel caucus, and
that, we toke it, is equivalent to an
election. The success of Gen. Cameron
is the defeat of the Radicals; nay, mere
than this, it is the overthrow of a clique
of demagogues that have ruled Penn
sylvania during the past six years. It
is political death to CURTIN and worse
than political annihilation to FORNEY,
to whom it will lose the Secretaryship
of the Senate. Of course, had we been
a member of the Legislature, we would
have done all in our power to secure
the election of thestiffest-backed Dem
ocrat in the State, but among all the
Radical candidates for the position, our
choice was Simon Cameron. For, first,
his election smashes the Curtin-Mc-
Clure machine, whose Juggernaut
wheels have run long enough over the
necks of Democrats; secondly, it wipes
out the malign influence of Thaddeus
Stevens; thirdly, it pulls the last feath
er out of the rotten "dead duck," For
ney ; and lastly, it makes SIMON CAM
ERON, and not a creature of the Mongrel
Radical party,U. S.Senator. As to the
cry of corruption raised by Stevens, Cur
tin and Forney, they are not a wh it purer
than Cameron. They are all "tarred
with the same stick." If the people
would put an end to corruption in the
public offices, they must turn their
faces not only against Cameron, but
against "the whole ship's crew" of the
Radical leaders.
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTIONS
have been held, recently, in Connecti
cut and Ohio. Both were largely at
tended. The Connecticut Convention
did not meet for the purpose of making
nominations, but for the more import
ant one of considering the state of the
country. Resolutions were passed by
this Convention, approving of the
course of President Johnson, and pledg
ing him full support in carrying out the
measures of the Government. The
Ohio Convention, after adopting an ex-
eellent platform, nominated Judge
ALLEN G. THURMAN as their candi
date for Governor. Judge Thurman
is one of the ablest men in the State,
has been a member of Congress and
Judge of the Supreme Court. He is a i
nephew of Hon. William Allen, the
old Jacksonian Senator. The Democ
racy of Ohio, although in a much
greater minority than our party in ,
Pennsylvania, are up and doing, and
intend to give the enemy a hard race in
next October.
DEMOCRATS! Renumber that the
Mongrel Radical Congress has forced
unqualified Negro Suffrage upon the
people of the District of Columbia, in
face of the fact that nine-tenths of the
people of the District expressed their
opposition to it at the polls. It there
be such a tiling as Tyranny, we have it
in its most monstrous shape in this act
of Congress. Let this matter be talk
ed over among the people. Call your
neighbors' attention to it. Above all,
bring home the fact to your friends in
the "Republican" party. They must
acknowledge, now, what they lately
denied, their party is iti favor of
Negro Suffrage, and they must either
endorse that doctrine, or they can no
longer consistently act with that party.
Rut it at them !
THE Carlisle Volunteer has again
been enlarged. Messrs. Bratton and
Kennedy make an excellent paper, and
we rejoice to note their prosperity.
WE are indebted to Mr. Stutzman, of
the State Senate, and Mr. Weller, of
the House, for public documents.

Correspondence of the Bedford Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.
MR. EDITOR:— Among the notable
events in Congress since my last, 1 sot
down the passage of the District of Co
lumbia Negro Suffrage Bill, over the
veto of the President. The message of
President Johnson returning this bill,
with his objections, to the Senate, in
which it originated, is one of the ablest
and clearest that has yet emanated from
the pen of Mr. Johnson. It does not
leave the Mongrel authors of the meas
ure, an inch of ground to stand upon.
But, of course, the arguments of the
President are not regarded by men
who must vote under terror of the par
ty lash. A number of "Republicans,"
in both Houses, voted to sustain the
veto, but the bill was passed by a large
majority. Hence Negro Suffrage is a
fixed fact in the District, and every
"contraband," no matter how ignorant,
or degraded, will be allowed to cast his
vote alongside of the most intelligent
white man. If the people in your State
who have been acting with the Rad
ical party, do not see the tendency
and aim of that organization, they are
truly to be pitied.
Another matter which may be con
sidered of some importance elsewhere
than in this city, is the proposed im
peachment of President Johnson. Mr.
J. jr. Ashley, M. C. from Ohio, a few
days ago, introduced a resolution in
structing the committee on the Judi
ciary to inquire into the propriety of
preferring articles of impeachment a
gainst the President of the United
States, basing his resolution upon
charges of a corrupt use of the powers
of the executive. This resolution was
passed. 'Judge Spalding, of Ohio, op
posed it, and several other "Republic
an" members voted against it. The
Judiciary committee are empowered
to take testimony, and to this end, to
send for persons and papers. I under
stand the testimony of Ashley, him
self, and that of John W. Forney, are
to be taken before this committee.
Ashley and Forney, par nobile frat rum !
If the President is to be impeached up
on the evidence of such men, an Arch
angel would not be safe in the Presi
dential chair- There is not much im
portance attached, here, to this im
peachment scheme. It is bound to
fail. Nevertheless, the Radical party,
having commenced it, must push it to
a conclusion. They dare not halt now.
If they stop where they are, they ac
knowledge themselves whipped. If
they go on, the people will laugh them
to scorn. Between the horns of this
dilemma, prefer to risk the latter,
simply because it is in the future, and.
Micawber-like, they expect something
to turn up which may relieve them of
the odium which must attach to them
if they fail.
The glorious eighth of January—Old
Hickory's day—was celebrated by the
Democrats and National Union men,
by a grand banquet at the National
Hotel. The venerable FRANCIS P.
BLAIR, SR., presided. PRESIDENT
JOHNSON attended and was seated at
the right hand of Mr. Blair. His en
trance into the banquet hall was greet
ed with cheers and the waving of hand
kerchiefs. The health of the President
was proposed, and in response his Ex
cellency gave the followingsentiment:
"No State has a right of its own will,
under the Constitution, to renounce
its place in, or to withdraw from, the
Union; nor has the Congress of the
United States a Constitutional power
to degrade the people of any State, by
reducing them to the condition of a
mere territorial dependency upon the
federal head. The one is a disruption
and dissolution of the government;
the other is a consolidation and an ex
ercise of despotic power. The advo
cates of the latter are aiikethe enemies
of the Union and of our Constitutional
form of Government." This senti-
ment was received with vociferous ap
plause. Speeches were made by Hon.
Edgar Cowan, Hon. J. R. Doolittle,
Hon. J. S. Black, Hon. T. A. Hen
dricks, Hon. M. Blair and others.
Judge Black eulogized the Supreme
Court for its action in regard to Milita
ry Cdninlissicfns and paid a high trib
ute to Mr. Justice Davis. Taking it
all in all the banquet was a grand suc
cess.
Congress is to be perpetual. A bill
for this purpose has been passed by
both Houses of Congress. The next
Congress is to meet on the fourth of
March, next, immediately after thead
journmeut of the present one. Of
course the tax-payers will relish this
arrangement. It seems necessary that
Congress should be in continual session
in order — to save the Radical party !
Any public measure tending to this
end, Will, of course, receive the sanc
tion of the people, and nobody will
complain of the expenses it will entail
upon us.
The defeat of Stevens for U. S. Sen
ator is received in conservative circles
here as a favorable omen. It is thought
that Cameron will not vote with the
extreme men of his party. The Radi
cals do not regard him as sound on the
impeachment question, as wellas some
other measures of theirs.
Gen. Coffroth, Assessor of Internal
Revenue, is here, looking as serene and
happy as ever. The General's confir
mation bv the Senate is confidently ex
pected. More anon from PRY.

Correspondence of the Bedford Gazette.
HAKRISBUBG, Jan. 14.
MR. EDITOR:—The legislative fur
nace is now in full blast, and the usual
amount of special legislation is being
rushed through. This kind of law
making has become a positive nuisance.
Even Gov. Curtin, in his late message,
was obliged to raise hisvoioe against it.
Our printed laws, annually, make a
ponderous volume, three fourths of
which is composed of special legisla
tion. Of this character is the law reg
ulating the selection of jurors in your
district. Now, if there is anything
good in that law, why not make it gen
eral, so that the whole State may have
the benefit of its wholesome provis
ions? Will somechampion of
cial jury law please answer this ques- 1
tion ?
The great fight among the Mongrels
for the U. S. Senators]]ip, is ended at
last. Their caucus met on Thursday
evening last, and nominated Simon
Cameron ! The vote stood, Cameron,
40; Curtin, 23; Stevens, 7; Grow, 4.
Two of Stevens' men, Senators Billing
felt Hud Fisher, did not go into the
caucus. They knew that it was vain
to oppose Cameron, and, concluding
that in this instance, "discretion was
the better part of valor," they kept
clear of the battle. Whether they
will vote for the General, now that he
has received the endorsement of their
party, remains to be seen. Messrs.
Stutzman and Weller, of your district,
voted for Cameron ; Mr. Richards vo
ted for Stevens. Poor Curtin! "What
a fall was there, my countrymen!"
Poor, miserable tool! His treachery to
President Johnson and his violation of
pledges to the Democrats, have brought
him nothing but defeat and disgrace,
llis stumping-tour for Geary, his sign
ing of the infamous "Deserter Bill,"
his electioneering harangue injected
into the bowels of his late message, all
were to no purpose. He got down on
his belly to eat dirt that he might be
elevated to the C. S. Senatorship, but
those whose favorhe sought, only tram
pled him deeper into the mire. Fare
well to the demagogue! Let him lie
in the grave he digged for another, but
into which himself has fallen. Thad.
Stevens, too, has received a terrible re
buke at the handsof his party. He re
ceived but seven of the eighty votes cast
in the caucus. The "Great Common
er" has been decidedly flattened out.
Ilis power in Pennsylvania, is broken
forever. I am told that his influence
is on the wane in Congress, and that he
denounces his radical compatriots, as
cowards and knaves.
Hon. Edgar Cowan has been nomina
ted by the Democrats, as their qmdi
date for U. S. Senator. This is a com
pliment well deserved by the eminent
statesman who during the past six years
has soably represented the real feelings
and true opinions of the people of
Pennsylvania. This nomination rep
resents 290,000 voters, a decided major
ity of all the legal voters of this State.
If what the Mongrel papers state be
true, i. e., that Cameron's nomination
was obtained by corrupt means, and
was not made by the will of their par
ty, then Mr. Cowan is certainly the
choice of a majority of the people of
Pennsylvania, rather than the caucus
nominee of the Mongrels. The elec
tion for U. S. Senator comes off to-mor
row, when, 1 presume,' Gen. Simon
Cameron will be chosen. The Curtin
and Stevens mfen talked loudly about
the outrage upon the people by the
"corrupt endeavors of Cameron" to
obtain the Mongrel nomination, hut
they dare not vote against the man
whom they have charged with conduct
so monstrous and shameful. If the
people would rid themselves of such
representatives, it is high time they be
stir themselves.
W. 11. Kemble has l>een re-elected
Btate Treks u rer. Th e I )em oerats voted
for John F. Spangler, of York, who
may now be considered in the "line of
succession."
A number of seats in the lower
house are to be contested; that of Mr.
Mullin,of Philadelphia, on the ground
that he is not naturalized; that of Mr.
Roush, of the Lycoming district, on
the ground that "deserters!' voted and
acted as election officers; and that of
Col. Linton, of Cambria, on any possi-
ble ground that may give the commit
tee drawn in his case, an excuse to oust
him. Linton's majority was upwards
of 700 and Mullin's about twice as
much. But what care the miscreants
who "run" the Legislature for such ex
pressions of the popular will?
To-morrow Gov. Geary will be in
augurated. Great preparations have
been made for the occasion. The hero
of Snickersville will be seated in the
gubernatorial chair with all "the pomp
and circumstance of glorious war."
The State will pay the piper, and Berg
ner and Ivunkle, who resisted the pay
ment of expenses for honors to Grant
and Farragut, will not say a word in
behalf of the "suffering tax-payers."
I shall try to keep the Legislature so
ber, but, of course, that is an easy mat
ter, as none of the members are ever
known to drink. LEX.

THE IM hIKVCE OF WOMAN.
"Hail, woman, hail! last formed in Eden's bowers, I
Midst humming streams and fragrant breathing ;
flowers, '
Thou art 'inidlight and gloom, through good and ill, j
Creator's glory, man's chief blessing still.
Thou calm'st our thoughts, as halcyons calm the ;
sea,
Sooth'st in distress, when servile minions flee ;
And 0, without thy sun-bright smiles below,
Life were a night, and earth a waste of wo."
31K. EDITOR : —As the tendencies of
the times seem to threaten the domes
tic circle with the loss of the presence
and talismanic influence of woman, its
present "brightest ornament and glo
ry," by transferring her to the public
positions of political life, to aid the
politicians of the day in their intrigues
of ambition and corruption, but man
ifestly to the detriment of woman's
true sphere, purityand power in social
life, I offer for insertibn in your staunch
and excellent paper, the following just
and appropriate sentiments of Dr.
Spring, as found in his admirable j
work, entitled "Obligations of the'
World to the Bible." They will, doubt- j
less, prove highly acceptable to the j
readers of the GAZETTE, as they are in I
themselves, full of refreshing truth in j
these dark and degenerate days:
"In speaking of the social institu- j
tions," says Dr. Spring, "we may not j
forget how much the Bible has done for i
woman. —The Bible has an appropriate
place for woman, a place for which she
is fitted, and in which she shines. It
elevates her, but assigns her her proper
sphere. It does i ndoed exclude her from
the corruption of thecamp and the re
bates of the forum. It does not invite
her to the professor's chair, nor conduct
her to the bar, nor make her welcome to
the pulpit, nor admit her to the place of
magistry. It bids her beware how she
overleaps the delicacy of her sex, and
listens to the doctrines of effeminate
debates, or becomes the dupeof modern
reformers and fashionable journalists.
It asks not to hear her gentle voice in
the popular assembly, and even usuf
fers her not to speak in the Church of
God." It claims not for her the right
of suffrage, nor any immunity by which
she may "usurp authority over the
man." And yet it gives her her throne;
for she is the queen of the domestic cir
cle. It is the bosom of her family. It
is the heart of her husband and chil
dren. It is the supremacy in all that
interesting domain, where love, and
tenderness, and refinement of thought
and feeling preside. It is the privilege
of making her husband happy and hon
ored, and her sons and her daughters
the ornaments of human society. It is
the sphere of piety, prudence, dili
gence in the domestic station, and a ho
ly and devout life. It is the
sphere that was occupied by Hannah,
the mother of Samuel; by Elizabeth,
the mother of John; and by Mary, the
mother of Jesys. It is "the ornament
of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in
the sight of God, is of great price." It
is the respect and esteem of mankind.
It is that silent, unobserved, unobtru
sive influence by which she accom
plishes more for her race than many
whose names occupy a broad space on
the page of history. More than this,
too, does the Bible do for woman. It
opens to her the stores of knowledge.
It proscribes her no intellectual advance
ment. It commits to her intelligent
culture the minds of the rising genera
tion. it tells her that her peculiar prov
ince is to embellish and adorn. It op
ens before her the lovliest spheres of
active benevolence, so that, while in
the scriptural sense, she is to be a "keep
er at home," she is yet to go forth as
an angel of mercy, in ministrations to
the poor, the afflicted, the widow, the
orphan, the sick and the dying. The
Bible does more for woman than for
the stronger sex, because it gives her
more piety than it gives to pious men;
more ardency and devotion in her relig
ious affections; more numerous, as well
as more illustrious examples of conver
ting grace; a greater reward, and a
brighter crown. Nor can sheeverknow
what she owes to the Bible, until she is
'presented by her great Lord and hus
band, faultless before the throne."
