More Misrepresentation.
Ihr Gazette, (if last week has ait article re
viewing Gcv. Pucker's Annuel Message, and
attempts to be very severe on the Governor on
account of Lis opposition to the infamous course
of Buchanan in relatiou to Kansas. The Ga•
zette, however, iu this article, misrepresents
facts considerably wbeD it says that "tee find
that a Democratic a J ministration has, virtually
reduced our State Debt, in one year, the sum of
twelve million of Dollars.'''
T bat the iiuie Debt has been decreased that
amount nithiu ihe year is correct, but it was
not the Locofoco administration that accom
plished this happy rpsult. It is well known,
and the truth of history will bear us out, that
the old Whig party of this State was always
! n favor of the Sale of the Public Works,
which ho? accomplished this happy result.—
Ihe people of this State, by a solemn vote, and
by an immeuse majority, some fifteen years
ago, decided that these Works should be sold.
Anci why where they not then disposed off—
.Simply for the reason that the Locofoco party
defeated the wishes of the people. At several
other times acts were passed by the opposition
in favor of the sale, but in every instance, the
wishes of the people, were defeated by the
very same Locofoco'pait,.■ It is well known
that Gov. Pollock used the whole power of his"
administration Jo secure the passage of a bill
tor the sale. The present bill was advocated
and passed by the Americans aud Republicans.
The late Senator from this district, IJon. Fr.
Jordan used bis best efforts to secure the sale,
and to him, a? much as to any oue in the State,
are wo indebted for the result of the reduction
of our State debt to the amount of Twelve
Millions of Dollars! Ihe Locofoco leaders
of ibis county denounced him in no measured
terms at tLc time for the part be took iu the
matter. The Gazetie koy s full well that its
party, through the exertions of Jer. S. Black,
Buchanan's Attorney General, and other lead
ers of the party, attempted to defeat the pres
eut bill for the sale before the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania. But, happily fotbe interests
of the suffering tax-payer* of the State, hey
wore ingioriomdy defeated. All honor to the
eppositiou for the auspicious result.
The State Debt has been " virtually reduced
in one year, the sum of twelve millions of dol
lars ! The great People's Party of the State
scoured the result, in opposition to Locofoco
ism, and to them be all the glory and honor of
the reduction of the State Debt , which was
solely contracted by Locofocoism.
DIVISION OF THE COUNTY.
We understand thai an effort is now being
mode by a few interested parlies in Blair coun
ty, and in Middle Woodberry township, in this
County, to liavo that township annexed to
Blair. Bedford Couuty has heretofore been
unjustly dealt with, in having her best territo
ry lopped off. She is now reduced to moderate
siae, aud it would be unjust to still further re
duce her territory. The majority of the peo
ple of that Township would be opposed to it,
aud out of that district not- ten men in the
County would favor if. Our County is large
ly iu debt, contracted as much for the benefit
of that Township, us for any other part of the
County; benee the injustice of the movement.
We don't apprehond any serious effort before
the Legislature on ibe subject, und presume
Messrs. Schell, Williams and Walker,will have
an eye on the matter
THE LEGISLATURE.
The Legislature has as yet been doing very
little of a general character. We notice noth
ing of interest to Bedford county among the
proceedings. Mr. Schel! has introduced a bill
rnto the Senate, prohibiting the issue, by the
banks, of notes of a less denomination than
twenty dollars. The evident object of this bill
is political bunccrob. The result of the pas
sage of such an act would be that onr State
would be flooded with the worthless trash of
other States, and not as the Gazette thinks, an
increased circulation of gold and silver. We
ore glad to record the fact that our rep
resentatives, Williams ac I Walker, have in
every instance in which the question bis come
op, voted in favor of reducing the pay to
SSOO.
WANTED —An active, energetic man, to
canvass Bedford Connty, for the sale of "Wash
ington's -Account Book," one of the most re
markable works over introduced to the public,
being a foe simile of Uen. Washington's ac
count with the Government during the Revo
lutionary War, engraved from the origtoal,
tiled io the office at Washington.
For full particulars, address WM. M. POR
TER, General Ageut for Pennsylvania, "Her
ald" Office, Carlisle, Pa.
Joseph M. Church, ooe of the American
members of tho Legislature from Philadelphia,
was most 1 ratally assailed on Friday last, in
Harrisburg, by a bog-irotter, named Donovan,
who has been claiming his scat. Not content
with being rejected by the people of the dis
trict in which he lived, he follows the gentle
man of their choice to the Capital, and there
challenges him to a duel, and upon the teturn
of tho challenge, with a note expressing con
tempt for its author, he assails Mr. Church on
his way from the Capitol with a shillalah and
horse whip. And upon his arrest, a pistol and
billy were fouud upon bis person. Tho House
very properly passed a resolution denying the
Irish ruffian the usual privileges, and excluding
him from the floor.
NEW FIUM. —Dr. F. C. REAMER has taken
into partnership, in the Drug and Book busi
ness, Mr. SAMUEL J. WAT, who has been well
known in Bedford, for years, as the courteous
assistant of the Doctor. They are gentleman
ly and accommodating, and the public will find
them the right kind of men for that business.
STATE TREASURER.
Eli Slifer, former State Treasurer, was, on
Monday last, elected State Treasurer, bj the
Pennsylvania Legislator*, over Hon. H. S.
Magraw, the pro'eut incumbent, by a vote of
80 to 4-3. Mr. Slifer heretofore made one of
the best officers we ever had, and we are glad
to record his present suocess over his oppo
nent.
BROADTOP.
In another column we publish a statistical
table, prepared for us, by John Fulton, Esq.,
Civil aud Mining Engineer of the Broadtop
Rail Road Company, who has also been em
ployed to survey the route for a Rail Road
from Hopewell to Bedford. We take the lib
erty of inserting the following extract from 1
Mr. Fulton's letter accompanying the state
ment:
'•The increase of the coal shipments of 1858
over that of 1857 is 27,000 tons; the demand,
I believe, has increased in a larger ratio. The
number of miners at work in 1857 was 161
now there are 261, with house capacity for 530.
Several new openings are being made, and ex
tensive improvements constructed for tho busi
ness of this year. Price of coal at Hunting
don, $1.50 to SI.BO per ton.
"All the mines in this region are worked by
drifts above water level, thus discharging the
water opened by working; there has not been
observed up to this any generation of deleteri
ous gasses, and accidents to miners are of very
rare occurrence. The steady iocrcaso of the
shipments of coal from this region during the
past year is the best testimonial that can he
presented, as to its very superior quality and
adaptability to the various uses in steam gen
erating, and other purposes to which it has been
applied."
Col. A. K. MuClure of the House of Rep
resentative at Harrisburg, has our thanks for
various favors.
The bight of impudence has been reached.
Gov. Stewart has issued a requisition on Gov.
Medary, of Kansas, for Capt. Montgomery,
who is accused of certain unlawful habits,
among others, taking the lives of Border Ruf
fians and taking possession of their property.
It is quite proper that violations of the law
should be punished. It is essential to the peace
of the Border that murderers should be punish
ed. It has, however, been the custom of "the
authorities" to reward with the patronage of
the general government those who have dis
tinguished themselves as murderers in the his
tory of Kausas. Only now, when thero is
reason to believe that a number of pro-slavery
partisans have been killed by those who assume
to be doing tho fighing of the Free State cause,
has there been any symptoms of su active de
sire in official circles to bring the red-handed
men to justice. This time, the Governor of
Missouri is greatly exercised. And the Gov
ernor of Kansas displays a fatal facility for
deepening the difficulty and making the old
sore incurable. He is anxious for troops to
put down the rebellion. The people of Kan
sh, arc, however, quite tired of displays of
military force among ihein. They loathe tho
spectaole of a company of diagooos acting as
illustrations of the beauties of" the Adminis
tration's system of popular sovereignty. If
the hordes of ruffians from Southern Missouri
invade the neighboring portions of Kansas, and
Gov. Medary makes a demonstration with dra
goons, it is probable that ihe bloodiest picture
in the book of Kansas is yet to be written.—
Cin. Com.
l'hc suggestions made by Mr. Buchanan, in
Lis last message, relative to annexing Cuba to
the United States, fall stillborn. We hopo
that the American people are getting a proper
regard for those who would seduce them into
fillibustering by appealing to their cupidity.—
Instead of culisiing the national appetite for
addition to our territory, let men in position
cultivate a love of country and a regard for
national honor. We don't want to appear before
the world as a nation of robbers aud pirates,
as we should were we to follow the teachings
of Buchanan's Oatend manifesto and the prac
tice of bis southern slave trading friends.—
May it not be hoped, that the nation is taking
a sober second though' on these matters, and
that we are returning to first principles, when
national honor and patriotism were the glow
ing sentiment* of the American heart t
The Buchauau edi ors are not plcaed with
Gov. Packer's Message. They think he has
disturbed the barui:ny of the party by refer
ring to the Kansas question ! They seem to
forget that the President his been disturbing
that harmony by proscribing every Democrat
who would not bow down to bis despotic no
tions relative to Kansas. Gov. Pucker is not
willing to wear the chains of a master, and
these Loco editors who find fault with him
would show moro manhood were they more like
Inns.

.4 Missouri 11 at Pike's Peak.
Capt. Geo. J. King yesterday received a let
ter from Mr. John G. Harris, a well known Mis
souri river pilot, who has lately soiled with the
gold fever, and emigrated to Pike's Peak, from
which we make the following extract:
AURORA, NOV. 19, 1858. 1 have arrived at
Cherry Valley, and find it situated on the South
Platte, 350 miles from Fort Kearney. We have
buiit a bouse, and expect to move into it to
morrow. Our trip out was pleasant. A word
about the mioes. A man can make from $3 to
$lO per day. There is gold all over the coun
try, and old miners say that if a man will work,
he will do well at mining anywhere. 1 aui well
pleased with my trip, aud am perfeetly satisfied
that I made it.
1 think this will prove a good country for
raising almost any kiud of grain and garden
products. We have plenty of game of almpst
every description, from the buffalo down to the
squirrel deer, turkey aud antelope in abun
dance.
Youra, respectfully,
JOHN G, HARRIS.
The Mouroe Doctrine.
The National Intelligencer has a long aud
elaborate history of the Monroe Doctrine, con
cluding thus ;
We have thus endeavored to lay before our
readers a faithful history of a much mooted topic
in Ameticau politics. Let us briefly recapitu
late the points wo have as we thiuk, established
beyond successful controversy.
1. That the Monroe declaration of 18*23, in
both its phases; had its origin in the changed
relations and new responsibilities imposed on
the several States of tho Amerioan Continents
arisiug especially from the emancipation of the
Spanish Colonics, and rendering it conductive
to the interest of all that tha American Conti
nents should not be subject to future coloniza
tion by any European power as waste aud un
occupied territory and that no foreign State or
htates should be allowed to intervene in the do
rntfeua duaiia of any American people for the
purpose of suppressing republieau institutions.
2. lhat the Mouroe declaration, in so far as
it related to the thieatCDed intervention of the
Holy Alliance in the concerns of the Spanish
Amcric&u States, was intended to meet a par
ticular contingency of eveuts and therefore pass
ed aw*y with the occasion which called it
forth.
3. That the Monroe doctrine, in so far as it
relates to the colonization of the American Con
tinent by any European Powor was not intend
ed to bind tho United States to guard the ter
ritory of the New Wprid from such occupation
by European States; but was intended to indi
cate, as an important principle of American
public policy, that "each State should guard by
its own means against, the establishment of any
future European colony," within the jurisdiction
cf its flag. That is, the Americau Continents
were no longer held open to colonization as de
relict Territory, capable of occupation by right
of discovery and settlement.
4. That the "Monroe doctrine" was not in
any proper sense "a pledge," and as such was
especially discarded by tie Democratic pur
ty.
The current interpretation of the "Monroe
doctrine" has, therofore. no foundation in the
truth of history; and defended at all, must be
defended on its intrinsic merits, as a proposition
wholly distinct and different from that which
was conceived by its author or affirmed by its
first promulgator, whose destiny it has been to
give bis honored name to a principle for which
he never contended.
Pitching In.
1 lie Chicago Times , the Douglas organ of Il
linois, has opened its batteries upoD Mr. Buch
anan iu a terrible manner, since the re-election
of Douglas to the Senate. The following pas
sages will show the style iu which Mr. B.'s grey i
hairs are combed by the terrible journalist:
"Two years have nearly elapsed sines Mr.
Buchanan commenced his administration, and
these have been two years of deep modification
aud disaster to the Democratic party. He has
devoted one entire year of it to the dcstiuction
of the Democracy of Illinois ; and that Democ
racy to-day are stronger than they could possi
bly have been bad he been their leader. Ha
has been defeated by the Republicans wherever
ho has endeavored to elect bis own friends, and
has been defeated by the Democracy wherever
he has sought to elect Republicans. It is cause
for rejoicing to know that no man who, in Con
gress, refused to abandon the Democratic plat
form at Mr. B's command, has been defeated
by the people, and, while we regret the eleva
tion of a Republican majority in Congress, we
caunot mourn over the defeat of those who
abandoned principle in order to gratify the
maligu counsels of a viudictive cabal of Presi
uentiai aspirants.
'"Ac know that .Mr. Buchanan is advanced
in years; we know that be has held office during
a long period, we know that his head has been
silvered over by the hand of time, but what was
said of another is not the less true of hiui, that
the man "who, after having seeu the consequenc
es of a thousand errors, continues still to blond
er, and whose age has only added obstina-y to
stupidity, is surely the object of eithor abhor
rence or contempt."
OPPOSES BUCHANAN.
We learn from the Chester Republican that
Mr. Dougherty, one of Mr. Buchanan's warm
est supporters during the Prosidentail campaign,
has turned agues: the President. That paper
remark*: "Many of our readers in this Bo
rough, and elsewhere in our county, will recol
lect the capital speeches made by Daniel
Dougherty, Esq , ia the Buchanan campaign.
They will also recollect the excitemeut he cre
ated in the Democratic ranks, and the vast num
bers who rallied to bear the eloqucnee which
fell from bis lips io advocacy of the claims of
the present Chief Magistate. It is fair to say
that he did good service in the cause, and that
his exertions, here and elsewhere, contributed
no little to the success of the party to which he
was attached. Since turn he has been making
another speeoh, a little different, it is true, from
those with which be entertained his hearers du
ring the oampaign to which we have reference,
but none the less interesting on that nccount.
At the reception of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas,
tn Philadelphia, on Monday night last, he was
called for, and, in the course of his remarks,
in reference to Mr. Buchanan's abandonment
of the principles upon which he was eleoted, be
said :
"Aye, we who mide this man President,
whose unpopular name would havo rotted in
the dust from whence it sprung, and moulder
ed in oblivion, bad not we, led on by Forney—
our Warwick—dug from its sordid mire the
useless ore, and stamped it with a diadem."—
[Bix cluers.]
The language is not very complimentary to
the Chief Magistrate, but it will do, coming
from one of his former advocates."
' ( TES£A!ICE AMD VITTI.ES."
Under thishapny title, the Warren Telegraph
comments upon tbe politioal discrimination ex
ercised by the President in tbe selection of bis
guests at dinner, and suggests the following
form of a card of admission :

REMARKABLE GOLD DISCOVERIES.
Quite an excitement was created in the city
yesterday by the arrival of James Blackstone,
one of Russell, Majors A (Jo's wagon masters,
with several nuggets of gold, concerning the
discovery of which the following account is
given:
Mr. Blackstone Wis in charge of a rehirn
train, with which he arrived in tl" vieia?*y of
Ash Hollow on or about Nov. 22d. He here
indulged in a Buffalo Hunt, and, after an ex
citing chase, went to a small lake about six miles
from Ash Hollow, on the Platte River, for the
purpose of getting a drink. He was here sur
prised y discovering deposits of gold in the
sand, over ninety dollars worth of which h?
picked up in a few hours. One of the nuggets
alone is worth !wcnty-iwo dollars; and can be
seen at the store of Rusaele, Majors & Waddell,
ou Main street.— Leavenworth Timet.
ANOTHER BRITISH OUTRAGE.—Insults to the
Americas flag by English officials follow one
another so rapidly that they begin to be regard
ed as common-place affairs, scarcely worthy of
coutmen*. Nothing can be ntore plain than
that the English Miuistry holds the American
Government in utter contempt; knowing that
while the Loco Foco party is in power here,
nothing will bo done to rescDt any indignity
which may be put upon us.
Y\ e hope that the organs of the Administra
tion will no longer pretend to feel indignation
when they record an English insult to the
A met iean flag, for there is oo longer any one
stupid enough to be humbugged by their blus
ter.—Daily News.
