BEDFORD INQUIRER. BEDFORD, Pa. Friday Morning. MOT 19, ISSS. "FEARLESS AND FREE." D. OVER—Editor and Proprietor. PEOPLE'S MEETIfI£T A meeting of the People will be held in the Court House, on Tuesday evening of Court week, (16th Nov. next,) for the purpose of con sulting together, and congratulating the coun try over tbc recent brilliant victory in this Congressional aud Legislative District, the State at large, aud the glorious triumphs in Ohio, Indiana, lowa, Minnesota, Kansas, &o. Several speeches will be delivered on the oc casion. Let there be a good turn out. Come one, oome all! Oct. 29, 1858. Our friends who iutcud visiting town in Court week, and who are indebted to us for subscription, advertising and job work, will please not forget us, as we never needed money as badly. Those who do not come to town, ean stud their dues by their friends. Our terms will be rigidly adhered to, $1,50 in advance,or #2.00 at the expiration of the year. The Eleetioos of last Week. Our readers are already advised of the re mit of the elections of Tuesday of last week. The victories in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, lowa and Minnesota, on the 12th of October, have been followed up by others, equally bril liant, in New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Michigan Dd Wisconsin. Iu New Yotk, only four Lecompton Locofocos have been elected to Congress, and these all from the City, and two anti-Lecompton Democrats from the country. The delegation will stand 2? Opposition, two anti-Lecompton Democrats and four Locofocos. The Republican State ticket is elected by about 20,000 plurality, and a large majority in the Legislature. In Massachusetts, Banks Re. publican, is elected Governor by about 30,000 majority— the whole eleven Congressmen and an overwhelming majority of the .Legislature. Locofocoism made scarcely a show of oppo sition. In N Jersey, the Oppositioncarriod all the Congressmen, three American-Republican, and two anti-L9Coupton Democrats. In the last Congress there were three Locofocos and two Opposition. The Opposition have a ma jority on joint ballot in the Legislature, which sooures a United Slates Senator—a gain—and a large majority on the popular vote, in Michigan, the Opposition have carried the State, securing all the Congressmen, but one, and a majority on joint ballot in the Legislature. In Wisconsin the Opposition have also triumphed. Tbey have carried two of the three Congress men, and a majority of the Legislature The election iu Illinois, probably, is the most important that has taken place, this fall. To that quarter has the eyes of the whole Union, been centred. The campaign there was the most exciting that Las occurred in the oountry for the last half century. Douglas and Lin coln were the opposing candidates for a seat in the Uuited States Senate, before the people, aud Douglas has triumphod, having secured a majority on joint ballot in the Legislature, which secures bis return to the Senate ; and his ticket has probably a majority on the popular vote of the State. It is known that on the question of the admission of Kansas, Mr. Doug las differed with Mr. Buchanan, and the lead ing spirits of his administration. From that time to the present, he has been puisued by the ad ministration with the most bitter and unrelent ing fury. After the adjournment of Congress, Mr. Douglas went home to Illinois, and there, before the peoplo of bis own State he had to appear and defend his course. He appealed from the President to the people, and they have sustained him ! The command was sent forth from Washington to all the office holders in Illinois, that tbey should vote for the Republi can-Lincoln representatives, and in every ease where there was any opposition to the com mand, the person was removed, and a lick-spit tlo who was williog to obey, was put in his place. He was opposed by the whole Lecom fon force of the oountry, aDd the attacks upon him by their orators and press, were of the roost ficroe, outrageous and malignant kind. The best speakers of the opposition in the country Were canvassing Illinois in favor of Lincoln, aided by the whole power of the administration, and yet be has succeeded, and the Lecomptoo- Bocbanan vote of the State is only about 3000 out of 240,000! What a triumphant vindi cation! What a condemnation of the admin istration ! In this contest Mr. Douglas bad the sympathies of the people of the North, cf si) shades of opposition, which aided bim ma terially. In bis fight with cxecntivc usurpa tion and tyranny, be occupied nearly the cor rect ground. Hi re-election will be more of a condemnation of Mr. Buchanan and his ad visers, than a defeat of the Republicans, many of wborn through sympathy voted for him. In our own town the sympathies of the op position were as much in favor of Mr. Doug las, in bin war wiib the administration, as they were fur Mr. Lincoln. Bat in the Locofcoo party here were to be found the real litter and persecuting enemies of Mr. Douglas. Tbey called bitu a ''traitor,"disorganixer" and "renegade," and threatened to "crush him out" of the Democratic party. Thsy charged him with "heresy," and clamored for bis excommu nication for daring to differ from the President on the Lecompton question. Among those who were thus clamorous, we would name S. H. Tate, Esq., present Prothonotary. Mr. Tate, it is well known, has always been an office seeker, even from the time when the memory runneth not to "the contrary, and always defeat ed. He made loud threats, and danmed the party publicly on the streets, was himself look ed upon with suspicion , and his orthodoxy doubled ; but as soon as he was elected, he de termined to change bis course, and uphold his party in everything, no matter how abominable, and consequently he was for "crushing out" all his party friends who differed with the Presi dent, on his outrageous Kansas policy, and en deavoring to place them in the same suspected position which he himself previously occupied ! Now that be has done all the harm he cao for Douglas, and after he has triumphed over the administration, and all such as Tate, we arc told that he now says that "he was always op posed to Buchanan , and in favor of Douglas Can doughface ism and duplicity go farther ? Shame? Mr. Shannon, also, was one of the loudest-mouthed in abusing Douglas; and Mey ers of the Gazette , who is now only a Locofoco on account of his pocket, which is clearly shown by his belonging to as many as four dif ferent parties before he was twenty-five years old ! Both of these last were for "crushing out" Douglas! Many others of the "small fry" were also for "crushing out! " They have failed to "crush bim" out, and they will all now be "crushed" into his support in 1860 ! They will then bespatter bim with their ful some praise as they have hetofore bespattered him with their abuse! In connection, we might even state that the present P. M. in this place, John Mowry, Esq., was as loud in bis condemnation cf Douglas as any of them, butsinoe his election, even he repudiates poor old Mr. Buchanan,and says that he isTor Doug las for next President! Hereafter we may ex pect them to eat all their words against Dong j las, as they have eaten dirt in favor of Buch anan -b FARE W ELL' SERMON. Rev F. Benedict preached his farewell ser mon to the people of this place, in the Luther an Church, on Suuday morning last. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity.— Mr. Benedict has been the pastor of the Lu j theran congregation of this place f"r a period of nearly ten years, and during that time lie has been, probably, more actively employed in the duties pertaining to the ministry, than any other io our midst. The Church in this place, and Parsonage, were both built under his care, and both have been paid for through his exertions. He ieaves bis congregation free of debt, and a surplus in the treasury. Be tween 300 and 400 were received into the churoh, during his administration, nearly 800 children baptized, and nearly 200 couples married. Mr. Benedict's sermon was delivered in a toletnn and impressive manner, and was receiv ed by bis flock with evident sorrow. He was beloved by all his members, as well as by the entire community, aud all our citizens regret his departure. He will be missed more than any other oitizco who has left us for a long time. He left here on Tuesday morning last, for Somerset, his future home. THE STATFELECTIOXS. OD Tuesday last there were congressional elections held in seven States—lllinois, Mas sachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Wisconsin. In Illinois there were three tickets— Douglas and anti-Donglas democrats and republicans. In Massachusetts there were three tickets. Massachusetts also j voted for Governor. In Michigan there was the regular democratic and republican tickets. In New Jersey the matter was mixed up among Americans, republicans, democrats and nnti- Lecompten derooorats. In New York four tickets were before the people for Governor, but in several of the congressional districts there was a "fusion" against the democrats.— Iu Wisconsin the only issue was between the republicans and the democrats. Delaware and Michigan also elected a Governor. Theee elec tions determine the political character of the house in the next Congress. "BUCHANAN CLUB."— We have not yet been informed of the next meeting of this very ef fectual "stick." When does it meet again *— Da tell ?As all the "unchangeable" are coming round to the side of "little Dug," in this place, we suppose poor old Mr. Buchanan will feel very much grieved, and not visit Bedford next summer—and that "powerful auxiliary,"—the club—will be abandoned, as the old gentleman i 6 no Gen. Jackson, aud his name will not do to go down to 'posterity as the bundle of any political machine. At all events, when does tbo Club again meet ? The people are anxious to know. "Beet-Heels," over the signature of St. Clair, in the last Gazette , makes a great fuss because we corrected an error which appeared | in our paper a short time before ; the difference between him and us, is, that when we make an I error or mistake, we have always tho manliness to correct it—but tf he states the "horse to be I sixteen feet high" he sticks out for it. BEDFORD UV&UIRBR. [C#~ 44 We neglected last week to inform our readers that the boautifui poem on our second page, entitled 4 A Node,' was from tho gifted pen of our 4 Poet Laureate.'

Tbe last Gazette says that the present free trade Tariff was passed by the opposition in 1857. This is so false, and has been exposed so often, that it is scarcely necessary to notice the assertion. The opposition had not the power to pass that Tariff—they were not able to elect the Speaker ia the House by a majority of the whole vote—the Senate was largely Locofooo, and the President is a Loeoieco. Locofocos eant deceive the people in this way. We want a Protective Tariff similar to that of 1842, and we will never havi good and stable times till we accomplish it, and build up i>ur manufactories, create a home maiket, buy less than wo sell Europe, and keep our gold at home. We are for a protective Tariff, first, last, and all the time, and the people through out the country are pretty generally coming to the correct view on the subject, as the recent elections abundantly prove. We copy the following extract from tbe Har risburg Keystone. The subject is as applica ble in Bedford as it is in Dauphin County.— Owners of real estate, whose deeds are not yet recorded, bad better make a note of it; RECORDER. —Mr. Peter Hummel, tbe very efficient and obliging Recorder of our county, has published a notice of great importance to all owners, purchasers, or sellers of real estate. We learn from it that 44 by an act of tbe Legis lature of Pennsylvania, no title for Real Estate is perfect aud secure, unless it be recorded with in six months after its execution, if it be made within this State; or within Twelve Months, if executed out of the State; in the office for lie cording of Deeds, for tho county wlicro the lands lie; otherwise, every such deed or convey ance shall be adjudged fraudulent and void against any subsequent purchaser or mortages for valuable consideration, unless such deed or conveyance be recorded as aforesaid, befoie the proving and recording of said deed or convey ance under which such subsequent purchaser or mortgagee shall claim. THE NEXT HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. —Tbe Albany Evening Journal has a proba ble estimate based upon the eleetioos that have nlreedy taken place. a9 well as upon tbe chances in relation to those which are yet to occur, and it gives the following as the result:— Opposition, 124 Administration, 113 This we regard as exceedingly moderate, and greatly below the probability. That the Administration will be in a signal minority in the next House, we consider as beyond all question. There cannot, iudeed be a doubt up on the subject. REJOICING. —The Huntingdon Globe is the organ of tho Democracy of that county, but "speaks right out in meetin' " regarding the late election as follows. It says— 44 We re joice over the defeat of Lecomptonism, over the defeat of Porter and Frost and every old mem ber of Congress, who misrepresented his con stituents on the Kansas question. Wo rejoice that the Democracy of tho State have spoken in language which cannot be misunderstood, in condemnation of tbe Kansas policy of the President &c." Rev. Mr. Yingling, of the East Pennsyl vania Synod, has accepted a call from the Lu theran congregation of this place, aud will shortly enter upon the discharge of his duties. He is said to bo a good preacher, aDd a very agreeable gentleman. tE?""Attend the People's Meeting on Tues day evening next. Let there be a good turn out. The late elections have resulted so gloriously, that all ought to hear tho result. For Iht Inquirer. Mr. EDITOR: —Permit me to make known, throath the columns of your paper, a lous resolution, passed by the Hoard of School Directors of Bedford Township, prohibiting fe males from acting in the capacity of teucbcr9 in said township. Surely 'tis only in Bedford Township, for who would not desire that such a heathenish idea he excluded from all other township.', and also from the minds of intelli gent men here and elsewhere. 1 would ask our worthy Directors the validity of a decision whioh deserves the commiseration and contempt of an enlightened community, and, we can but thiok, the disapprobation of their own better judgment. Can they think that educated fe males would exert an evil influence as teachers, or corrupt the morals of their pupils? If so, how very different from many good aud great men, who attributed all they were and have been, to the early training of a pious mother. Then, too, our State Superintendent advises that females be encouraged in fitting them selves for teachers, and recommends them as exerting a beneficial influence in our schools. But perhaps be is incapable of giviog advice! Would that some others than the framcrs of such a resolution, might test his abilities.— Great men, truly ! (fit promoters of the cause of education,) and possessing greater mothers, wives or daughters if their influence has been such as to inculcate the thought that females were unfitted to aid the youthful mind in the acquisition of knowledge. What think you? Does our worthy Superintendent countenance such proceedings ? Not likely! We would think of him as a man, scorning such debasing unmeritorious schemes. 'Tis the mind that makes the man, and are wo to suppose that fe males have no intellect to be cultivated ? Alas ! what an era we Bre verging upon. In speak ing of education, we do not mean simply wri ting a good band,and thus being smuggled in to office, but a thorough cultivation of the mental powers, an elevation of thought and soul which raises man above duplicity, by which the uneducated are at times led asirny. And should Dot a like privilege be granted to ladies ? Why deprive them of one real pleas ure, a good education, aud the means of doing good to others ? * [Gazette please copy.] For the Inquirer. WILL Mil. BCHELL RESIGN ? Wm. P. Sohell's party is beaten in this dis trict by over 1300 majority The people of this district have emphatically declared that they do not desire bis services at Harrisburg. Will Mr. Sehell, notwithstanding the repudia tion of him and his party, by his fellow citi zens of tlie 19th district, have the impudence t<> go to Harrisburg and claim a seat in the Senate, this winter, as their Senator, under such circumstances? Would not any man, who has any respect for himself, at once quiet ly resign ? That appears, Mr. Editor, to be tbe general wish of our friends throughout the district. His election came off at a very un lucky time, and with a great many faise promises. He and his friends promised the people in case of his election, that they should have a railroad to Bedford very soon; in fact, any person, to have heard some of their speech es, would have thought that the iron bull would have been belching and bellowing up to Bedford long before this time. Mr. Seheil knows that the people have been very grossly deceived in this matter, and that if he had been a candidate for re-election, this fall, he would have been beaten by not less that 1500 majority. So that if be takes Lis seat at Harrisburg this winter, he will not carry out the wishes of a large uiajoriiy of his fellow citizeos. We say agam, under such circum stances, would not any mau who has any re spect for himself, at once quietly resign ? " . BLOODY RUN. A Damaging Disclosure. Hon. F. P. Stanton, Secretary of Kansas under Gov. Walker, in a late speech at Law rence made tbe following statement: He (Mr. Stanton) came to Kansas ic 1857 believing it to be the intention of Mr. Buehau an to deal fairly with tho people. Had not this been his opinion, he would never have ac cepted the position.of Secretary, nor Walker that of Governor of tbo Territory. Justice demanded the admission that he still believed the intention of the Administration to have been good. Its present line of policy was an after-thought. Until tbe month of September be and Gov. Wulkcr were sustained throughout by the Admidistration. Ho would mention one circumstance which was not generally known, as showing this conclusively. On the Ist of September, General Whitfield and Dr. Debbs, of Kansas, who wero then in Washington, signed a letter "expressly that the course of Governor Walker and Secretary Stanton was acceptable to the people of Kan sas, inasmuch as an undoubted majority were in favor of a free State." This letter was written at the special request of Air. Buchanan, who was anxious to shield himself from tbe assaults then being made on him by the South. Through Mr. Buchanan's agency the letter was sent to the Union office, and was actually in type, accompanied by editorial comments en dorsing the character of Dr. Tobbs as 4 a gen tleman of unimpeachable veracity,' when it was seen in proof by a Southern member of the Cabinet, who ordered its suppression. From that day to this the course of the Administra tion has been a most unscrupulous and shame ful ODC. THE VICTOR A MOURNER.— The wife of HOD. JoLu Hickman died ou Tuesday, the day on which her husband was re-elected to Con gress. The sudden death of this gifted lady has created a profound sensation in West Chester, where she was greatly beloved. Wo learn from the Philadelphia Press that she partook of her dinner as usual, and retired to her chamber to rest, when she was attacked with hemorrhage of the lungs. She arose and walked to ber husband's library, where bo was, and died shortly afterwards. Thus, at the very moment wheu the people of tho Sixth district wero preparing to honor Mr. Hickman by re-election. God called from his side the noble woman who had been his stay and his comfort for many years past. Mrs. Hickman was a lady of great talents and many endear ing qualities. She resembled herglotious hui baud in many respeots, and iu nothing more than in the firmness of her friendship, the gentleness of her manners, and tho kindness of her heart. His friends oar. only regtet that she had not lived to see him victorious. Hlore Thunder! THE ELECTION. NEW YORK. Morgao, (Rep.) is elected Governor by about 20,000 majority, with the entire Republican State ticket, notwithstanding a Locofoeo major ity of some 20,000 polled by the Dead Rabbits and Bruisers of New York City. Besides this a heavy vote was polled for Burrowes, the straight American candidate for Governor,which added to the Republican vote will make the anti-Lecompton majority in the State near 100,- 000. The Congressional delegation will stand 27 Opposition, 2 anti-Lecompton Democrat*, and 4 Leoompton Democrats. The majority on joint ballot in the Legislature will be very large. ILLINOIS. Mr. Douglas and Mr. Lincolu being candi dates for the U. States Senate, the great battle in this State has been for the control of the Legislature. Week after week, and month af ter month, they have been canvassing the State addressing large miss meetings and calling up on the people to rally beneath their respective banners The result is a Douglas triumph.— The telegraph reports that he has secured a ma jority of five in each house—so that lie will be re-elected to the U. States Senate. His pres ent term, however, does not expire until the 4th of Jlarch next. The following Congressmen have been elect ed : Ist district—E. B. Wasbburne, rep. 2J 41 J. P.

"The evii that men do, live* after them ; Tlxs good is oft interred with their bones." This anri:n is Laving a fulfilment in current history. A dead statesman, says the Spring field Republican, now controls our national policy. His doctrines pervade and direct all departments of the government, and in that sense he, though dead, has more power than any living man. The men in office, from the president down to the humblest tide-waiter, are but the instruments of tue policy which he origioatcd. John (J. Calhoun is to day king of these United States. This is no exaggera tion, no mere figure of speech, but cubstantial verity, tbo evidences of which lie open to com mon apprehension. The fact is remarkable aa it is true. The great atutesnnn of South Car olina diJ not get fairly recognized while living. Even his own state, while it honored his con summate ability and his singular devofiou to pro-slavery ideas, had not courage to come up to his radical slavery doctrines, and was in clined to look upon him as poetic and visionary in bis schemes. The politicians of the other southern states stood aloof from him, and con sidered his ideas quite impracticable, while the north held them in entire contempt. Nobody believed then that the day would ever come when the doctrines of Calhoun would mould the prevailing policy of a great national party, aiufc of the general government. Hut the prophetic soul of Calhoun looked forward to this result, and that provision of the future which belong* to all great minds made him confident and assured, although the whole world was appar ently against him, and the eternal law of God and the course of divine Providence seemed to be in direct hostility to the great scheme to which he had devoted his life. And when J. C. Calhoun died everybody said that slavery had lost its great champion, and that henceforth she would unke no more arrogant olaimi to dominion. The event has disappointed all ex pectation. The theories of Calhoun, discarded duriug his lifetime by his own party, and dis trusted by his own section, have become the doctrines of the democratic party and the the government, and fidelity to them i to-day the tost of official fitness in the free as well e * the slave state-*. The democratic party is no longer the party of Jefferson, or of Jackson ; it is the pirty of Calhoun, and he, though eight years dead, is more properly its dictator than any and all living men ia their ranks. It should take h3 name too. It is uot a Jeffer soniao party, n-r a democratic party. It is simply and whol.v a Calhoun paity. That ex presses its entire character and creed. In Lis speeches on the Oregon bill aud his celebrated "Address of Southern Members of Congress to their constituents," Mr. (-aibouu advanced the doctrine that slaverv was a na tional institution—the southern statesman had before insisted that it was purely local, and that the general government should not inter fere with it—and he declared that tbo truo policy of the South was to defer its partv dif ferences and to refuse all connection with anv political party at the North that would not "on lcrce the guarantees of the constitution" m favor of the South, and give to its peculiar in stitution the patronage and support of ihe gen eral government. This udvice, repudiated at the time, h>s sioec l>cn foilowrct Siep by step the democratic party has asceodcu lo the topmost plank of the Calhoun platform, and has secured thereby the unanimous and un wavering illegiunce of the cinire South. It has become n southern party, a mere sectional party, devoted to a single sections! interest, with only such support from tho North as may be secured by the hope of federal office, by the purchase of the votes of the mercenary, or by practising upon the credulity of the ignor ant. In this perfect union of the South lies its strength, as Mr. Calhoun predicted, backed as it has hitherto been, by the weakness and division of the North. 'The siave power now rules with undisputed sway. It has only to spcaK and it is done. The supreme court as well as the executive, registers its edicts with out hesitation, blavery is declared to exist constitutionally in alt the public domain, and neither Congress nor the people of the terri tories uiay exclude it, but are, on the contrary, solemnly bound to cherish and protect it, and every other interest must give way before this, the only loaiiy national institution. \ iil this roigu of Calhounism be perpetual, or lies it reached its climax, and is it destined to fall as .suddenly and mysteriously as it haa arisen ? There are evident signs of decay and demoralization in the Calhoun party. Jt has ventured too tar upon upon the acquiescence of its supporters in the free States. It has become too confident in its power, and too arrogant and aggressive to he lougor endured. The Democracy of Jefferson is now fairly pitted againet it: the struggle will be brief and glo rious, ii the supporters of freedom and true democracy <:e but wi. e aad faithful. The reign of th dead mm must be ended in IS6O, cod the principles, which ought also to £ie, shall be ouihal with his bones beneath the congenial soil of South Carolina. The party of living meo with living principles comes to take it? place and to write its singular imtory. l.pifnph on J. (ilaucry Jones. Glatiry Jones, of old Berks, was Mr. Bu chanan'.- fugieuiaa in the House of Represen tatives, at its lastscssion. On one occasion he accused a member with opposing the Ad ministration because Mr. Buchauau had not in vited him to dine ?t the White House. This first called attention to tho fact that so former President had refused the civilities of the White House to members opposed to blifc in politics. Immediately after tho defeat of Jones, at the late election, Col. Forney published the follow ing epitaph ; In England of oidjt nun ever tbo ruio That the King kept his butler and also his fuol, But in model Republics one man will suffice To be the Court fool, and the bottles to ico.
