BEDFORD INQUIRER, BEDFORD, Pa. rrld%y Horn I nr. FEB 19 1959 "FE\ULESS AND FREE." D. OVER—Editor and Proprietor. DmsSm oF THK fot m, In another column will be fonud the proceed ings of a meeting held in Middle Y oodberry Township, Bedford County, oa Tuesday the Bth iust., in favor of annexation to Blair County. The meeting was composed, wo are informed, of not a very groat many of the citizens of that Township, aud they mostly, have very great ex pectations of being relieved from the high t xc of Bedford County, although nt the Democrat ic meeting cn last Monday nigb', the taxes of Blair County were stated to he much higher than those of Bedford 1 The reasons set forth in the revolutions of this meeting are fallacious. It is not correct thut Hollidaysburg is their nearest market The Town of Hopewell in Bedford County is much nearer and affords a good market for Woodberry and other sections of the country. It is r.ot true that Bedford, the County sca\ is 20 miles from Middle Wood berry Township, and Hollidaysburg only or.e half the distance. Ftor* a large portion of that Township it is about equal distance to Bedford or' Hollidaysburg, and the roads about ii:c sinre. It is not correct that all the people of Middle Woodberry desires annexation to Blair—'here being many in that Township sgaio*r the movement. Many favor this dis nreniberment of our county, f>>r the purpose of recuring a new County at some future day, with Woolburry as the County seat. The plan is, to have Middle Woodberry now sfi i.'ken off and attached to Blair, and then in a year or two to get up a movement in favor of a new County, parts to be taken off Blair, Huntingdon and I Bedford! This is now urged in that Township iu favor of tbe present movement. There are j no good reasons why the present proposed dis- > member merit should take place and Messrs. Sel.oll, Williams ai d Walker, will place the i I ropier estimate tqn-n the request in the R."so- ' i Unions. The idea of again dismembering our County >, is so evidently unjust, and would bo so detri mental to the interests of the people of tbe ! whole County, that they deemed it not neces sary to remonstrate against it, believing that j the Legislature would pass it by as the idle j wind, and take no utice of the request. Rut, liowcver,ince a few interested persons, j mine of whom think they might have axes to j grind in Blair County, are making such des perate exertions in favor of the dismember ! meat, and are flooding the Legislature with pe titions in i's favor, we would eall on the pro- i pie of the different townships to got up remon strances at ouce, end LUTQ them signod by ev ery citiieri, and forward 'hem to the Legisla ture, ne to the Seudte and one to the House, without delay. Several Remonstrances are this week in different parts of the town, and (re being signed by hundreds of people from very part of the County, who are here attend" i ing Court. Everybody in 'be County, outside | of Middle Woodbcrry, opposes the movement. 1' is not a matter of polities, tut <>f vital in leresi to the whole County. Bedford County has been cut down, time and again. All tbe surrounding Counties have been formed nut of her territory; her limits are quite moderate. her territory is uiouutainous and .sparsely populated, and it would be ex treme injustice to have nearly all of the goo i territory left, stricken off. We are *l-0 large ly iu debt, no matter by whom created, (some *>12,000,) for the benefit of all parts of the County, and it would be gross wrong to dis member our county under these circumstances tr any other. Let the Legislature trout the matter as it deserves and tLose in favor of the dismemberment, and u future new County, wiil have to wait a long time to sec it accomplished. Iu a b'.c Democratic Scnafotial caucus, Mr. Bigtcr, it is understood, vpokc of the suffering iidnstril mteres's, and uiges increased du ties. Ho said the public deb', now $64,000,- 000, would be $100,000,000 by the 30 hof June, 1860, without t'.e §30,000,000 propo sed to be sdlvd to the foreign intercourse fund, looking to the purchase of Cuba. Secretary Cobb sent a report into the lower House of Congress, on Thursday, in regard to tho condition of the national finances. He recommends a reduction f tue national expen ditures, and requests that authority bo given hi in for the reissue "1 treasury notv., and ad vise# immediate action on the .subject. IRON CITY COLLEGE.—Tue rapid growth anl extended popularity of this School, is the result of the confidence it his inspired by its fair dealing and thorough teaching.— Presbyle awn Banner and .ddvocute, of Pitlsbmg. Three hundred nnd fifty-seven students are in attendance at this time, making it the hig i-st and most popular Business S.hool ever or ganized in tbe United States. The Locofoeos had a dull and epiritiess uieetiug ou Moods; night, to appoint delegates to t!ie State Couvention. When we entered tbo room, a thing, with a downcast countenance wes attempting to make a speech, the whole of which WHS devoted to ourself. We will attend to him in our next. A tuau by the nuuie of Bear , from Somerset, was called on, but as this is the season when that animal is bouud up in some old hollow log, sucking bis paw, he, too, showed that he was good at that kind of work, and was fifteen minutes in telling the people that he had nothing to say, except that he was out of polities, aud was honest in his opposition to the Lecompton fraud last summer, which was rather hard for Loeofoecisin in this atmos phere to swallow, as they bad supported old Mr. Buchanan in all bis iniquities. Shannon followed, in favor of the K snc-l'olk-swindle free-trade Tariff of 1846, which discriminated against Protection to Pennsylvania interests, he a! so advocated the annexation of Cuba, nig gers, war, piracy, filibustering, buccaneering, aud all. The resolutions wero then stuttered out , and c-u:- friend, the gallant Major Tate, followed, in his usml toploftical, buncomb, tlood and thunder s'yle, in favor of Cuba, Central and South America. He said he was tie first man in this great and ge torious coun try, who was in favor oj faking Cuba ! The Major is great on -'No pent-up Utica contracts our powers, the whole boundless continent is ours." Hut our compositors state that there's too much copy on hand, and we will have to stop for the present. MEW TAX LAW. There is a law before the Legislature, chang ing the mode of tax collecting throughout tire State. Many of the people of this County are in furor of the change. The following is the UKst important section. We may publish the whole act hereafter: SEC 2. Tint IT *hali bo the du'y of tbe couuty treasurer of each county, aftei he shall receive the duplicates nf assessment from the county commissioners as hereinafter provided, to give at least thirty days' notice, by weekly publications in one or tuore newspapers printed in the county, for the purpose of collecting and receiving State and county taxes; anil it shall i be tbe duty of tbe said treasurer to attend ut j leas' two dr\s in each township and borough in the county, for the purpose aforesaid, previ- ! otis to the twelfth day of July in each year: ! and he shall give receipts for taxes iu all cases when required by the person paying tbe same: \ Provided , Tint if any person stnll, on or be ! fTO the twelfth day of July aforesaid, psv to : such treasurer the amount of his or her taxes, ! such person shall ho entitled to a deduction of j five per centum on the amount thereof paid for j S;ate purposes, which shall be in lieu of the abatement of five per centum allowed the couu ty by the forty-second section of lhi, act to re duce the State debt, tration, in connection with the debts due there governments. The : (Foot of the vote ia the House to-day, laying 'lie Nebraska contested election case on 'lie table, is to continue Judge Ferguson iu his ' seat as delegate from that Territory. The impression prevails th?.t the proposition i to place nion-y at the command of the Presi i dent to negotiate for the acquisition of Cuba will pass the Senate, hut will be Jefoated by a large majority in the House. VIRGINIA WHIG STATE CONVENTION, i RICHMOND, Feb. 10. Ibe Whig Sute Convention met hero this ! umrning, and was very largely attended. Wui. Raliard Preston was chosen president.

The commit too made the following roort which was unanimously adopted. Whereas, TLe question of striking Midle Wood berry Township from Bedford cuttty, and annexing it to Blair county is one ofthe highest moment to thecitizeus of said Ton ship aud calls for our most energetic action ud support as we are vitally interested, "he County Seat beiug distant some twenty nlcs over a mountainous country and extremely) d roads, while Hollidaysburg the County loat of Blair county i lut little more than hal/the distance over an excellent Turnpike and >ther good reads. Beside, all our Banking, lyirk eting, shipping, in tact all our trade is doB by and through Hollidaysburg, therefore Rtsolv.d, Ibat in making application t Lc disconnected from Bedford county it is not from any political or other feelings in regad to its citizens, calculated to promote our aggan dizetneuts, but simply for our otvu coivcui ence. Resolved, That we earnestly solicit th aid and support of the Hon. NVui. P.Solieli .f the Senate and Messrs Williams and Walter of the House to use thiir utmost eudeavcrs to i hire the said bill passed through both tranches ' of the Legislature.

There is no near prospect of uow slave States. The Southerners have wasted their strength in en deavors to increase slave lenitory by roinc j grand coup, such as the conp>uisory game ts ic-cJ j in Kansis, or such as the acquisition of Cuba j or of parts of Mexico or Central America.— j They have neglected to colonize the far South- I west territory, where cew slave States might i grow up quietly and without serious opposition j troiu the North. In the meantime, the urea of I freedom has been expanding. Since 1810, when Florida uud Texas were admitted, there have been no new .-1 ire States, aud yet, since then, the free States of lowa, Wisconsin, Cali fornia, Minnesota anl Oregon have been re ceived ioto the Uuion. There are manifest defects in tbe Constitu tion of Oregon. The clause m regard to ne groes is unnecessarily severe, and that in re gal dto suffrage absurdly aud dangerously liberal. But these are faults that will proba ble bo remedied after a while. Certainly, as Oregon gets older, she wi;l see the mischief done by her extreme liberality towards foreign ers. U was the confidence of this felt by members of tho opposition that led to tbe passage of tho I bill, and we must congratulate our readers on the admission of Oregon, in view of the advan- I tage iu having a uew State government on the Pacific, aud new free State men iu Congress, ! and in getting a question settled that has si I ready consumed a great deal of time.— Phi/a. !

IMPORTANT FROM H\¥Tl. !' i THE REVOLUTION COMPLETE LY SUCCESSFUL. Tlie Einpcror a Fulfille to Jamaica. News from Kingston. Jamaica, to January 22d., has beeu received. The jY. Y. Herald j says: On the 21st of January, the British mail | steamer arrived at Kingston, having touohed at Jacinol, llayti, biinging news that Sonlouquc j was on his way to Jamaica in the British war j steamer Melbourne. The American conimer- j cial ageut at Aux Cayes, had written to the U i S. Consul at Jamaica, for an American man of wat; but there was none at Jamaica, and no op portunity had offered of writing cl-ewtiere for one. Another correspondent writes : News from Port au Prince has just come to band, stating that Soulouque hasjbobn totally defeated by Geffrard, and has fled from Port au Prince. He is now on board the British steamoi Melbourne, lying at that port. A lafer report from Kingston says : "The British steamship Melbourne is just coming in. The Emperor Souluuque is on board." FURTHER PARTICULARS. The intelligence received from llayti, by the | i packet, contains the fact of the total defeat of the Emperor Suulouque, who, it i* stated, had taken refuge in one of her Majesty's steamers, ' and was expected to proceed to Jamaica. The republic had been fully established, with Gene ral Geffrard as President. A letter from Jacmel, dated 18 h u!f., and > received iu Kingston, sys : "1 have this day the pleasure of informing you that the great events of your country have taken n favorable turn. Gen. Geffrard has beeu ever MUCO tho 15th inst., at Port au Piince j ? as President of the Bepublic of Haysi.

Another letter from Port au Prince, dated j i Jan. 14, say s : "It is uow three weeks since the Berth of the island broke out in open revolution. The Em peror and his army, as I wrote you ia tny last, had started for the seat of revolution to check their movements, but after arriving withiu six tniles of tiie place, utid rcuiaiuiug fifteeu day®, returned to Port au Prince without being able to do anything, so strong was the revolutionary party. Siuce his return ho has placed ;hc capi tal iu a state of siege, but Gen. Gtffraid has marched his forces, which, report says, m usist 1 of between ten and twelve thousand men, against it. lie is within two miles of Port au Prince, trying to see if the old man will abdicate, so as to hinder the sacrifice cf the lives of his countrymen; but he seems resolute to defend the ei'y. Great preparations were being tu*d for the last week. 1 saw no less than six wag on loads and about thirty donkeys, loaded with gunpowder, pass tuy duor for the Fort. Wo are momentarily expecting a meeting of tha two ar mies; Low thiugs will cud, God only knows— but up to the present foreigners and their pro perty are respected. All plucos of business arc closed; uothing but arms, &e., are seen iu the streets, and ovcry person walks cut with pistols and sword. Tho transport ship Meibouruo is still here; no arrival of any man-of-war vessels r.s yet. The towns that have raised the revo lution are placed under blockade, and all com munication cut off. It was last night tbat Gen. Geffrard arrived withiu two miles of this place. He sent a deputation wiih a flig of truce, but the despatches were refused by the General of the Fort. The alarm guus wera fired the day before, wbich caused great consternation. "At 4 o'clock A. M., the troops of Presi dent Gjffrard entered the capital, which sur rendered without a gun being fired and tho re public was proclaimed; Soulouque immediately made out his papers of abdication, and a guard escorted him to go on board the Melbourne; but tho mub was so excited that he had to tako ref uge ia the French Consulate. He i 3 now there while i write, waiting for an opportunity to em bark. You will, I dare say, Sie him iu Jamai ca before this reaches you. Never was there so glorious a revolution kuown iu Hayti. It is impossible for me to write of the demonstra tions of I lie people; suffice it to say that Presi dent Geffrard is truly u patriotic inau—a lover of liberty, indepeDdouce, &c. "We are certain, undur such a President, to see this place in a flourishing positiou, while, Soulouque wis a tyraut, feared and secretly despised. We hail the republic with Vive It Republic! Vive la President Geffrard! the uo ble liberator of his ooun'ry. We expect great rejoicings. Wc fear if Soulouque don't look sharp ttbd not expoe his person, ho will surely ' be killed.

SPAIN AND CUBA. The Ute speech of the Spanish Minister of State, Don C.iUeiou Coliaules, on the Presi dent's Message, in the upper House of the Cortes, is attracting considerable attention. — The occasion was u resolution signed by the leaders of the Opposition, tendering the entire i support of the Seuatc to the Government, as far as it might be ueeded in view of the President's Message. The Minister details the relation ot the two Governments, which, ho says, are most j amicable; explains the claims of our Govern- - meut for repaying ol duties levied at Havana io 1854, the settieiueut of which he had sup posed perfectly satisfactory to our Government | uu'il he read the Message, and declares that | the Captain General ot Cuba cannot be vested I with the powers which the Pieaideut asks may j i be giveu him, since they are the prerogative of j sovereignty, lie says dial no proposition has | been made to the present Ministry for tuo .c --i (juisiiion of Cuba, and he does not believe that ' any will be made, at any rate lie will listen to J none. • j Scoit Legion of Central Pennsylvania.
