will be more than six thousand million dollars. |
The interest alone upon that sum will be more j
than three hundred and sixty million dollars
per annum. Is it wise to continue a system
fraught with such consequences 1 There is no
hope of escape but in snch an increase of duty
upon iron as to prevent the further importation
of it. I beg Senators to look on the map of
the United States and upon tho British and
# Mexican territory, which must and will be em
braced in our system of internal improvements.
I do not mean that we are to annex Canada or
Mexico. I refer to them as a part of a system
of improvement to be developed bv American
labor and enterprise. I would remind you that
our railroads are the product of American la
bor ; that if we manufacture our own iron, the
entire profits of the lobor and capital employed
in their construction will be ours ; aud I beg
you to pause for a moment and look on the
magnitude of the interest to be developed, and
the amount of capital to be created. If our
progress be in the same ratio for the next thirty
years that it has beeu for the last ten, our in
vestment in railroads will bo nearly or quite
equal to the present value of the entire proper
ty of this country, aud the profit on the labor
of their construction will be thousands ot mil
lions of dollars.
In conclusion, 1 beg to remind Southern Sen
ators that it is not a Penusylvauia, nor is it a
northern questiou. It- is a question of "gene
ral welfare." It is not a question between the
North and the South as competing sections.—
It is question between the North and the South
the East and tho West, as parts of one single
interest, united as one peoplo in competition
with other nations, as independent parts of a
system of international commerce. These great
elements of wealth, coal and iron , are not pecu
liar to Pennsylvania. They abound in most of
the States. They are the gifts of a bountiful
and all wise Providence; aud it is the interest
and the duty of all the states to unite in pro
moting the cud of their creation. In this union
of interests and this development of our resour
ces, the conflict between the North and the
South will eud in a common sentiment of mu
tual interest, and we will become, as it is our
interest aud our duty we should be, a united
and a prosperous people.

HENRY M. FULLER,
WM- B. MANN, Seo'y. Chairman.
Mount Vernon Ladles Association.
We publish the following Appeal of the Vice-
Regeut of Pennsylvania, for the purchase of
Mount Vernon, as a sacred duty we owe the
memory of the great immortal chief whose re
mains are entombed in the hallowed grounds of
Mount Vernon, now about to become the prop
erty of the patriotic Ladies of America. Sev
eral payments have been made and some pur
chase money yet remains unpaid. In no State
in the Union is the name and fame of Wash
ington more revered than it is iu Pennsylva
nia. It was iu the Western part of our State,
then a wilderness, that he displayed those early
and great qualities as a military chief, which
prepared him for the more arduous conduct of
the campaigns of the Revolution. So long as
as the classic names of Brandywine, German
town and Valley Forge, remain bright in the
annals of history, will Pcnnsylvanians never
forget the duty they owe to the memory of him,
with whom the gteat chiefs of ancient and
modern times bear no comparison. Redrord
County was a County beforo the Revolution,
and from her limits did many of her patriotic
sons go forth, and take part in the battles of
the Revolution. Over her ground did the
young and beardless Colonel at the battle of
Fort Duquesnc, march at the head of his colo
nial militia. And bore, in Bedford, for weeks,
did the old chief, then President, make his head
quarters, there being no necessity for his going
further West,as the mistaken boys of the 'Whis
key Insurrection,' peaceably laid down their
arms and submitted to the laws of their country, j
Many of our aged citizens remember him well,
and delight to talk of their recollections of his
persoual appearance. &c. Wo hope our siti
zens wiil subscribe willingly to tLe fund for the
purchase of the home and grave of the Father
of his Country.
Miss ELLA WATSON of Bedford, has been
appointed Manager of the "Mount Vernon La
dies' Association" for the County of Bedford,
with power to appoint Assistants in different
parts of the County, for the purpose of collect
ing money to aid iu payiug the balance of the
purchase monoy due on Mount Vernon. Miss
Watson will make an energetic Manger, and she
iutentls to commence soon to solicit subscrip
tions in our place, but this should not prevent
persous from calliDg on bet nud subscribing
towards this fund. As soon as she makes her
appointments for the County we will publish
the names.
Read the Address of the Vice Regent for
Pennsylvania annexed :
APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, FOR THE
PURCHASE OF MOUNT VERNON.—Cho
sen to represent, in this State, the Mount \ er
uon Ladies' Association of the Union, I ven
ture to appeal to the generous aud patriotic
people of Pennsylvania on this day, the anni
versary of the birth ot Washington, for their
aid, in unison with the people of other States,
to complete the purchase of Mouut Vernon,
the place of his residence and tomb, and to se
cure it forever as a public and enduring monu
ment of their unabated gratitude for bis life
long services, and increasing veneration for his
illustrious name. Gratitude to one whose life
was so generous and exalted, venera'.itm of an
example, such as bis, of virtues that have so
elevated the character of a public man, may
well enlist the deepest sympathies of the women
of America, and embolden them to claim the
aid, not of their own sex alone, but of every
one who justly glories in being a countryman
of Washington, and whose heart is moved by
actions the purest and noblest that man can
render to mankind.
The object of tbc Mount Vernon Ladies'
Association is to obtain, by voluntary contri
butions, a sum necessary to purchase and hold
forever, two hundred acres of the Mount Ver
non Estate, including the mansion where Wash
ington dwelt and died, his tomb, the garden
and grounds around them, and the landiug at
the Potomac by which tbey are approached.—
To collect this sum, Vice Regents have heen
appointed in different States, with lady mana
gers, associated committees of ladies, and ad
visatory committees of gentlemen, in the vari
ous counties, cities, and principal towns.—
Every person by whotn one dollar, toward
this fund, is paid, becomes thereby a perma
nent member of the Association, and is inscri
bed as such in a record which will be preserved
at Mount Vernon. Similar arrangements will
be immediately organized throughout the State
of Pennsylvania, and a public announcement
wiil te given of the persons by whom subscrip
tions will he received, and the registry of
names bo made.
A large amouDt has been already collocted,
from places where these arrangements have
been completed. The public press, so influen
tial in good works, has lent its powerful aid.—
Associations established for philanthropic pur
poses —the fraternity of Free Masons, to which
Washington himself belonged; that of the Odd
Fellows; the volunteer military companies and
firemen, and numerous bodies assembling to
gether for objects of utility and benevolence,
have everywhere exhibited the deepest inter
est, and united in this noble effort with the
most liberal spirit Patriotic individuals have
come forward, with prompt sympathy, to lead
and encourage the several communities; and
the cheering prospect is held out that this wide
pervading spirit, spreading through all parts of
our common country, is insuring complete suc
cess.
Into this alliance of generous fellowship
Pennsylvania is now to enter. Always distin
guished by devotion to works of voluntary be
nevolence, which is an inheritance blended
with her Dame, she has besides, peculiar asso
ciations connected with Washington, which re
late to the noblest incidents of his great ca
reer. It was in Pennsylvania that, on the day
when the delegates from the colonies first met
together, he appeared among them to join in
the task of forming a common country. It was
in Pennsylvania that, with unexampled modes
ty, and touching expressions of anxious hut
devoted patriotism, he accepted the command
of a little army, soarcoly formed, and resumed
the responsibilities of an arduous war. It was
in Pennsylvania that, amid the fiercest severi
ties of winter, with troops almost famishing
and naked, he partook their hardships, cheered
their spirits, and kept them united to win the
triumphs to which he afterwards led them. It
wa3 to his "fellow soldiers and faithful follow
ers in the military line of Pennsylvania," that
he expressed, when the war was closed, and
with a mind deeply affected, his grateful sense
of their attachment and aid. It was in Penn
sylvania that he placed his all-conciliatiug
name to the Constitution which has cemented
the Union; it was hero that he became its first
and most illustrious President; it was hero
that he addressed to his country that memora
ble Farewell with which he closed his public
and immortal career.
To ask, then, the women of Pennsylvania to
unite with their sisters throughout the Union in
this tribute to the memory of Washington —to
appeal to all the people of Pennsylvania to give
to this great object their generous encourage
ment and assistance—is but to solicit from them
a patriotic Bervice, to which they are called by
associations connected with his memory that
cannot be surpassed, nor hardly equalled, in
any portion of that wide country which glories
in his name.

It If 11. VERY!
The Gazette's article last week attempting to
make political capital out of the action of W.
P. Schell in the Senate a week or two ago, on
the extra pay question. (It will be reccollccted
that Schell last session voted for the S2OQ ex
tra pay.) He offered an amendment to the ap
propriation bill that the pay should bo reduced
to SSOO, which carried, and in the evening, an
other member of the Senate, offered an amend
ment that tho S7OO should be restored, and Mr.
Schell and all the other Locofoco members of
the Senate voted for the restoration! So the bill
making the pay S7OO was passed unanimously
by the Locofoco Senate! Mr. Schell is a queer
fish, isD t he? And tho Gazette is hard up for
capital! Mr. Schell wanted the two hundred
extra, last session, aud after a few somersets
this ression, he shows by his votes thai he still
wants it! Plenty of other Locofocos, however,
would liko it just us well as Mr. Sohell.

BEDFORD IBIOUIRRR.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDEXT.
On Saturday morning last, as Mr. Sam.
Bambart was driving his six-horse team with
a very heavy load of flour aud groceries from
Cbambereburg, through the "Narrows Bridge,"
about two miles east of Bedford, the timbers
which supported the bridge gave way, and the
wagon, with four of the horses, was precipita
ted into the Juniata. The height from which
they fell is about twenty feet, and the water at
this place is about eight feet deep. Mr. Barn
bart was walking near the middle leader, and
the first intimation he had of the impending
catastrophe, was the breaking of one of the
rotten pine planks in the floor, which is not an
unusual occurrence in that bridge. lie had
hardly timo to look back, when the tremen
dous smash took place; but he urged forward
the leaders, aud the fifth chain and line fortu
nately breakiug, succeeded iu saving them.—
He himself narrowly escaped. Many persons
from the immediate neighborhood, astounded
by the terrible crash, but easily guessing its
cause, hastened to the scene of tho disaster.—
But there seemed to be no way of releasing the
poor horses, three of which, hslplessly entan
gled in the harness, wero struggling in the wa
ter, with their heads only above the surface;
; the fourth bad fallen back into the wagon.—
No boat or plank was to be had to enable any
one to reach them. But, luckily, a thin iron
rod had been placed under tne bridge, as a
brace or girder. One end of this still hung
fast to the side of tho bridge; the other end
reached the water not far from the horses.—
Daniel Croyle swung down the rod, followed
by Wm. Simpson and Andrew Mortimore, and
with a sharp knife soon succeeded iu cuttiog
' the harness from the horses, and enabled them
to swim ashore. The horses were so much ex
hausted that they reached the banks with con
siderable difficulty. It is a matter of the
greatest surprise to every one, that, stunued
and bruised as they must have been by the ter
rible plunge, they were able to swim out at all.
When \vc arrived at the scene, it presented
the appearance of a shipwreck, indeed. Boxes,
barrels and bales were lying around in all di
rections, and the good old "ship," which had
for so long withstood the fierce blasts of the
Allegheuies, was fast filling with water. A
great crowd of men and boys lined the riser
banks, some assisting at the wreck, and others
eagerly discussing the catastrophe in all its
possible phases. Sheriff Moore Laving with
his usual promptitude procured a rope and
pulley, succeeded iu drawing up a considera
ble quantity of tho flour in a tolerably sound
condition. A boat was soon brought, and this,
with a raft, hastily constructed, brought the
remainder of the flour from the wreck, some of
it considerably damaged by the water. About
four barrels ot flour and several boxes of (in
are all that remain in the bottom of the river.
Mr. BarnLart's loss cannot be less than five
hundred dollars. Four flue, large horses are
much injured, in all probability crippled forev
er. Tho loss on the flonr is not tnuoh less than
one hundred dollars. The Bedford and Uham
bersburg Turnpike Co. will, no doubt, promptly
and amply compensate him for the loss he has
sustained; it is very fortunate for them that it
is no greater. The accident can be attributed
to nothing but the culpable negligence aud
stupidity of the parsons who built the bridge.
The timbers when put iu were old, and alto
gether too frail for the framework of a bridge.
But it is alleged that the load was too heavy.
Surely anyload that six horses can haul, a turn
pike bridge ought to bear ! We hope the com
pany will go to work at once, take out the
rotten timbers, and put this break-neck bridge
in the securest possible condition, and subject
the lives and property of their fcllow-oitizens
no longer to such fearful risks.
We havo DO further time or space to record
the numerous incidents of the wreck, ludicrous,
affeoting, aqueous, bibacious, or other wiso.—
Our friend, Sam Auiick, particularly distin
guished himself as a bold aDd daring wrecker.
Hut in attempting to put two barrels ashore at
once, Sam fell into the water. The barrels
swam ashore, but Sam sunk—for a time—in
spite of the life-preserver in his coat pocket.
After a few desperate plunges, he succeeded in
reaching the bank, where ho was greetod with
the shouts of the multitude. Shaking the
spray from him like a huge water animal, end
slowly uucorking his life-preserver, te took a
few vigorous pulls—thus compensating himself
fully for all his toils and danger.
DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.— We are sorry
to announce the death of lion. DAVID MANN,
of this place, on Wednesday last. Mr. Mann
was one of our oldest and most respected citi
zens. He was Auditor General of the State
under Gov. Sbultz, aud filled other important
public stations, and was considered one of the
most prominent and talented men of that day.
His funeral will take place to-day, (Friday,) at

We will publish an obituary notice of bis
death in our nest.

Wo clip the following letter from Forney's
Press of the 11th mst., from Wm. J. Baer, Esq.,
of Somerset, containing the names of prominent
Locofocos of Somerset to the call. Among
them we observe the names of one or nioro
brothers, we believe, of the prinoiple edi'or of
the Gazette. Several Locofocos in this place
have contended that tho name of W. J. Baer,
Esq., was not authorized to the call in the Press,
but Mr. Baer, puts that to rest iu this letter.—
Verily the Democracy have fallen on troublous
times:
SOMERSET, April 5, 1859.
SIR: I was requested by a Democrat to send
you the enclosed list of Democrats,which,though
late, he desires should still be appended to the
call for the 13th April Convention.
Ou accouut of a special court, to be held
during the same week, it will not be possible for
many persons from here to be at Harrisburg.
You will find many Democrats here heartily with
you.
I see it stated in several Democratic papers
that my name is to the call without authority.
Justice to you and myself requires me to say
that my name is rightfully there, and it shall
there reniaiu. 1 hope the Convention will act
with deliberation, aud show the former Conven
tion what a Democratic CoDveutiou ought, and
can do.
Truly yours, W. J. BAER.
We, the undersigned, hereby authorize Col.
J. W. Forney to append our names to the call
for a Democratic Convention, to be held on the
13th of April next, as published in the Phila

4 Rapturous Eulogy of the Adminis
tration.
The Washington Union publishes the fol
lowing gem, and we presume it will go the
rounds of the Administration journals. Its
reproduction by Gen. BowmaD, indicates tbat
he intonds to conduct the Union in the same
magnificent style for which the Bedford Gazette
was distinguished; and the only wonder is, that
it was unaccompanied in the Union by the fa
vorite wood-cut of a rooster, two feet square,
with which he formerly embellished the Gazette
on all important occasions :
"THE ADMINISTRATION.—Hon It. J. Ryan,
of Indiana, who was recently appointed minis
ter to Bogota, was honored with a complimen
tary dinner at Indianapolis on the 29;h ult.—
Ho acknowledged the compliment iu a hand
some speech, concluding with the following per
oration :
" '1 give, in conclusion, as a sentiment,' said
Mr. Ryan, 'the bright and spotless Administy-a
tjoQ of James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania.—
When thrones are crumbled and dynasties for
gotten, it will stand the landmark of our coun
try's history, rearing itself amid regal ruins
and nations' dissolution, a political pyramid in
the solitude of time, beneath whose shade kings
shall moulder, and around whose summit eter
nity must play.' "
AN OLD CITIZEN.— Maj. JAMES BURNS, of
Juniata Township, in this County, was in our
town on Tuesday, looking as young and active
as many men of 70, although he stated that on
that day be was one hundred years and six
months old. He was, we believe, a soldier in
the Revolution, and was at the battle of Bran
dy wine. He is and was always one of our most
respected citizens. His name wii! be seen in
the list of applicants for license in our adver
tising columns, and he says that he has kept
tavern uninterruptedly for a period cf seventy
years.
The lato firm of Oster, Manspeaker & Cam,
in the Dry Goods business, has been dissolved
by limitation, Mr. Manspeaker retiring. Tbc
new firm will do business under the name of

of the late firm.
Oster & Carn will soon receive a lot of new

REMOVAL.— Capt. JOHN ARNOLD has re

PETERSONS' CURAT EDITION OF WAVEBLEY
NOVELS. —Wc have this day received ROB ROT,
by Sir Walter Scott, being the third volume of
T. B. Peterson & Brothers' new and cheap
weekly issue of tho Wavcrley Novels, by Sir
Walter Scott. Giving truthful delineations of
people, character and manners— ever upholding
tho cause of religion, morality and virtue, they
should bo welcome at every fireside where these
precepts are taught. Tho great barrier, here
tofore, to the introduction of these works, has
been the high price at which they have been
held, but this objection is being now overcome,
by the publication of these works of Scott in
such a form and at such a low price as to bring
them within the means of all persons whatever.
To Messrs. T. B. Potersou & Brothers, of
Philadelphia, more than all other publishers
are we indebted for this new feature in Ameri
can literature. The works of Übas. Dickens,
Cbas. Lover, Mrs. Bouthworth, and many other
popular writers, have been issued from their
press in a cheap form, and their last enterprise
is in giving to the public, the works of Sir
Walter Scott, complete and unabridged, at the
very low price of 25 cents for each work, or
the whole series for Five Dollars. The adition
embraces the whole of the author's works, and
will be contained in 26 volumes, one of which
will be issued on each succeeding Saturday,
until complete. A full set will be forwarded,
free of Postage, by Mail, to any part of the
United States, to any one, by the publishers,
on sending a remittance of five dollars to tbem,
for the twenty-six volumes. At this low price,
all persons should possess themselves of a sett,
and we would take this occasion to advise all of
our readers to uiake a remittance of Five Dol
lars at once, per first mail, to T. B. Peterson
& Brothers, Philadelphia, for the entire sett,
who will send them complete to any one, free of
postage, on receipt of that sum.
