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.

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.

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.
The one who lies here. Buck's marketing did,
Gave cards round to ditiuer to those who were bid,
And exulted o'er others, when not asked to dina
On Executive raulton ana Cabinet wine.
This slab, on last Tuesday placed over his bones,
Shows the Court fool and boiler was named Clancy
Jones.
Commenting upon this opiiaph, Prentice
says, "the Pennsylvania law against oruelty to
animals should he enforced upon Col. Forney
and his Press, or perhaps tho late member from
Berks can get out an injunctiou to restrain tho
publication of snoh rtilee sv th* ob>vc."
