tieo. W. Williams, Esq.
This gentleuiaD, our very popular candidate
for the Legislature, has beeu, aod still is, week
ly, abused and misrepresented, by the Gazette,
on account of his vote to prevent tue intermar
riage of whites and blacks, in the last Legisla
ture. The bill was introduced by a Locofuco
member for the purpose or making political capi
tal. Messrs. MILL and GOEPP,tho two leading
members of the Locofooo party in the House,
opposed it on the ground of its being uncon
stitutional. Some of both sides voted for it,
and some agaiost it. Any unconstitutional net
ought to be unceremoniously kicked out of the
Legislature, aud Mr. Williams did tight in
voting with NILLof Franklin and others of
both parties against the bill. Besides even if
it was constitutional, a bill is not necessary, in
Mr. Williams' district to prevent intermarriages
of whites and blacks, a thing almost unheard
of heretofore. llow would Pennsylvania look
in the eyes of the world, if alio would confess,
as she would by the passage of sucb au absurd
law, that her people were so much in ihe habit
of marrying uogroes, that she bad to pass a
law to prevent it t Bah !
Americans and Republicans are not aboli
tionists. They do not wish to place the negro
on an equality with the white man. All they
wish to do is to prevent negro labor from com
ing into competition with free white labor—and
to secure this result they oppose the extension
of slavery into the territories. They do not
wish to interfere with slavery where it now ex
ists. In the late Kausas Constitutional Con
vention, where the Kepublicans'.bad a majority
of more than two to one, they put a clause into
tbo Constitution preventing ihe negro from
voting! If they wero Abolitionists would
they havo done so t This is the true position
of the .People's Party of Pennsylvania, aud to
this piosition does Mr. Williams hold. The
Gazette may yelp away—it caunot injute Geo.
W. Williams, or cause one sensible mac of the
opposition to vote against him.

Among the recent contributions to the W*sb
iogtoa Monument is a block of carved marble,
in which is inserted a curiously carved head,
with the inscription beneath: "This head was
carved between two and three thousand years

erected in honor of Augustus, on the banks of

The Great Resigned.
It is no new dodge for Ambition to claim the
cloak of Modesty—for a consideration in hand,
or in prospective. The clever rase is as old as
Ctestr, and, doabtless, even in his day, was of
respectable antiquity. In regard to the impe
rial personage alluded to, we have the best
authority that Antony
" thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which thrico he did refuse."
The world has strangely taken to doubting
the "houcrable" Roman's sincerity, aud has
never eeasod to glorify tbo bloody Brutus, who
trieu to make mincemeat of poor Caesar's body.
It bas even gone so far as to regard his short
system of cut and thrust, so finely carried out
cu the floor of the Capitol, with as much ad" l
miration as our Southern chivijry ever lavished
ou the knightly Senaio performances of the
valiant Brook", of Palmetto memory.
■Still, despite the antagonism of aucient ex
ample, we have never lost faith in human
nature. We have never believed that even in
these modern recreant days the race of self
sacrificing patriots was utterly extinct.
The patiiot, seer, and sound philosopher of
Wheatland "still lives" to make our confidence
secure. The imperial purple—though fortified
by the best "old Bourbon," stronger than any
"Antony's fire"—has Dot warmed the soft cur
rout of the modem Caesar's blood to auy des
perate aims. The sweet serenity of resigna
tion holds his ambitious soul in peace. Not
Uriah Ileep was Lalf so infused and penetrated
to the inmost marrow with the grace of humil
ity. Not the immortal Barkis was half so wil
ling to settle down into calm extinguishment as
the modern light of Wheatland. That oracle
of sublunary journalism, the Bedford Gu2ett: y
illuminated so loDg by the Delphic wisdom of
Brigadier Bowman, has uttered the mythic sen
tence which the nation so long has waited for:
•'The President will not he a caudidate for re
nomination!"
The country "breathes freer." The relief
is almost overwhelming. Coming so suddenly
after the Autoniau performance of the Pitts
burg Post, after tbo generous offer of the Pre
sidential crown by that eager eon of the Iron
City; after no less than TWO compatriot heroes
of the quill had seconded the cbivalric motiout
after the President himself had overptfwered
the Hon. Wilson McCaudlesa with his owu ex
plicit refusal o! the attractive boon, the coun
try was unprepared for such a sublime self
t-atfrifice. Let the whole nation shout its sat
isfaction. Let the Custom llouse aod its navy
of tids waiters display no end of giorious
bunting. Let the Post Office and its army of
-stipendiaries exhaust reams of '•blanks" in <;x
liaustless eulogies. Let the hungry patriots iu
the pure precincts of Washington bureaux
raise the peean of grateful exultation. They
have infinite reasou to Lless'their lucky stars
tiiat they havo no longer to keep consucd their
gushing fears of joy. Let them try and bear
up, and not give way too suddenly to their
feelings.
Our advice is, roost decidedly, to moderate
the expression of their gratification—at least,
for nineteen calendar months to come. Let
them ponder the setious significance of the
Oriental myth; let them never forget "Siubad
aßd the old man of the Sea." They do uot
know how soon the "Oid Man" may be on their
necks again, and they plunged incontiueutly
into a sea of troubles. Tne edict may soon go
forth from the White House, that they must
again make all due salaams with Musslemauic
devotion at the feet of Lis Occidental Sultar:-
ship,'xtid, then, woe to the innocent unfortunates
who have uared to throw up their kals too
soonl
If the news be only true, (and wc confess
it requires Mahometan fuitb to credit it,) we
i-re confident of one thing. However intense
the thrill of beatific joy which may run tbro'
the tender bosoms of government officials, we
think that the country at large will accept the
sacrifice with entire resignation, indeed, if
the present venerable occupant of the chair of
Washington (quantum nutatus ab illo!) will
take a friendly hint frow us humbler mortals,
ho may add still further to his crown of laurels
and to the satisfaction of ins whole country.—
Let him not wait tor the tardy justice of the
Charleston Convention, which already, to his
vision, looms up as another house."
Let Lim have the heroic courage to resign at
ones.— Philadelphia Stale Journal.
Kansas Convention.
LEAVENWORTH, July 29.—Tbe Constitu
tional Convention has nearly completed its
labors, and will probably adjourn to morrow.
rim Constitution is radically anti-slavery hut
it differs frota the Leavenworth instrument in
asmuch as it does tot extend tbo rights of
suffrage to negroes. According to its pro
visions the Legislature will consist of seventy
two Representatives und tweuty-one Senators.
The business of the Convention nas been
disposed of with tolerable expedition : the
questions of apportionment of the State und
the location of the temporary capital being the
on'y measures that offered serious obstacles.—
I'opeko was selected as the temporary capital,
the town of Lawrenee being a competitor. The
efforts of tbe partisans of both places revealed
considerable corruption, both inside and ou'side
of the Convention, and cue or more
members are implicated in charges of
bribery. The indications are that the ratiS
cation of the Constitution will be vigorously
opposed by the Democracy, as all the s'rong
measures advocated by the latter, including the
annexation of tho Platte district, the exclusion
of free negroes, the prohibition of bauk issues,
and the preservation of tho present western
boundary, which embraces the gold regions,
have been defeated.
NORTHERN DEMOCRATS —Senator Brown
pays the Northern Democracy the following
oomplinient:
,l Tbe on>y hope of the Southern Democracy
is to utahe a light iu the Charleston Convention-,
to go there determined to have their views in
corporated iu the creed of the party, or break
up tbe concern in a row. 1 have uo doubt, as
the South heretofore controlled the party on all
great questions, that the Northern Ffbe-Sotl
eleinout will again yield in graceful submission.
If they do not, why theu apply the torch to
tbe great temple of Democracy, and blow the
concern to fltudora. Rather than see the party
destroyed, the North, which doesu't caie for
principle, will allow anotlung to be incorpora
ted into the ereed." #

LETTER FROM BEDFOHD,
BEDFORD SPRINGS, August 1, 2859.
Mr. Bucbaoun left us this morning, accom
panied by Miss Line and Mrs. Tbompion, lie j
goes to Cumberland, Mi., about thirty miles
distant, and thence directly to Washington.
I fear that bis visit has uot proved an agree
able one. His unpopularity, and the grief aud
indignation felt by the people at tbe singular
course be bas pursued, were painfully apparent
to every one, and cannot have escaped bisowii
eye. This is, I believe, bis twenty-first susn
iner visit to Bedford, aud although be is now
at the summit of power, be has never bad less
attention bestowed upon bita. There has been
no bitterness of feeling displayed toward hiut,
but the general desire has been to iguore hiiu
altogether. Wheu be leit this morning, there
was uot the slighest interest manifested in bib
departure. Almost any other visitor would
have bad more friends to gather round him to
witness bis departure. He bas completely ali
enated ft out himself the affections of tbo peo
ple, and tbe politicians are all becoming shrewd
euougb to seo that tueir true cue is to shun him
if they do cot wish to become marked men
hereafter, and to be regarded as political lepers.
1 saw several of bis old friends the other day,
and asked tbeui if they had called upon him.—
They told me, "No, and we do uot intend to,
for we fear tbe interview would be unpleasaut."
Knowing that they had no political grievances,
1 asked them why they bd sueh a fear. Their
answer was: "Ob, he might usk us about some
of bis old frieuds in our neighborhood, and as
they have now become bitterly opposed to him,
we should not like to tell him so," Every one
remarks, "how little attention bas been paid to
the President;" "bow often he is left entirely
alone;" "how flat he jell how unpopular be
is;" 'he isn't foolish euougb to suppose lie could
be re-elrcted, is be?' etc. But cue of the best
criticisms I have beard on Mr. Buchanan, fell
from tbe lips of one of tbo bard-fisted Democ
racy ot this region, whom I met here the other
day—a Frenchmau by biffii. He gave a po
litical turn to our conversation by saying, "1
am a Democrat." 'Ah!'said 1, aud a Buchanan
Democrat, I suppose. 'No! Igo for ze princi
ple, aud not for zo man.' 'But, 1 suppose, as
Mr. Buchanan is the Democratic President,
you feel bound to admire and sustain hi in, don't
you?' 'No! I vil tell you— l sink sat Mr. Bu
chanan is a very good man to manage his own
financial "jfairs, but a very bad man to man -j
age ze affairs of se United Slatts as Brest-'
dent.'
The bath house here is under the charge of
oue of the characters of the place—a D< gro,
named Robert Brown, lie has a very intelli
gent countenauce, aud a physiognomy remark
ably similar to that of Coionel Benton. He is
one of the old staudbys of the place, and has
his own ideas about men and things just as well
as people with whiter faces. He was with Com
modore Perry at the battle of Lake Erie, and
claims a share of the glory of that great vic
tory. After recounting to me some of hrs ciT-"
ploits the other day, 1 remarked that he was a
very distinguished man. 'Yes,' he answered,
with a roguish twinkle in bis eye, "dere is two
great men about uis place—one is Jetrn.s, (and
be poiuled to where the President was hitting
solitary and alorie, upon the balcony fronting his
room,} und de odder is old Bob Browu hut,
by golly, I guess Bob's de biggest una of dc
two."
There iiarv becu hail a dozen Republican
politicians here for one of tho Democratic
school. These geutlemeri feel so certain of a
victory in 1860 that it becomes a matter of
the highest importance to get all the prelimina
ries arranged as speedily as possible. Thanks
o Mr. Buchanan and his policy, the Demo
cratic party is in a bruised,'heart-sore, and
dispirited condition, and the Opposition scarcely
deign to Sear it. I aui uot in the riug of the
Opposition caucusing. and really know nothing
ot the nature of the arrangements they have
been matutirig here ; but I suppose a sort of
Cameron aud anti-Cameron contest is, to some
extent, involved in it. Meanwhile, it will to
well enough for all coocernod to remember the
historical fact, that svheu wise counsels govern
the Democratic party, and when, after it has
cDustiucleu a platform truly Democratic, and
chosen a candidate worthy of the age and of
the party, the Voters of the nation are mar
shalled into lir.e for the Presidential contest,
the Democratic nominee generally lias whai
they call out West "a pretty smart chauce" of
success.
A considerable number of visiters left this
morning, and hercatter there will he little
difficulty in obtaiuiug rooms. Still, the cum
bei of guests remaining heio is quite large,
aud everybody 1 meet is delighted with toe
place. Pennsylvania should be proud of Bed
ford aud sustain it more liberally than she does,
i believe tbo day will come when its guests wiil
be counted by thousands. There is only one
faun touud with it by any oue, aud that (oh,
tell it not iu Gatb, nor proclaim it iu the streets
of Aakuiou) is iu reference to the table. In
this respect it is better provided for this season
than in preceding ones, aud there is a liberal
supply of wholesome lood. But the choice
■fruits and vegetables to which we are accustom
ed at this period in the city are difficult of ac
cess here, and our appetites become so vora
cious by our rambles among tbe mountains,
that the consumption of such food would be
enormous, and terribly expensive to hotel pro
prietors. For the sake of Bedford, however,
and to tender complete tbo pleasuro whtob all
feci here, I hope tbe improvemeut made this
season in culinary matters will be followed up
next year by another forward step iu tbe same
direction. Still, tako it all in all, there is
scarcely a place equal to it in America
NOT OCCASIONAL.
A SOUTHERN NABOB. —CoI. J. A. S. Aokio,
of Mississippi, is about erecting a private re
sidence at bis plantation, opposite lied Itiver
Lauding, which is designed to cost $150,000
—125,000 wore for tbe furniture and furnish
ing. The following is a plan of this immense
edifice ; Tbe style of the edifice is castellated
goibio, with n froutage on the river of 164
feet, on the two side wings of 104 feet, and a
center compartment of 220 feet deep, sur
mounted by a lofty and beautifully proportion
ed tower. Tbe building will contain 50 rooms,
exclusive of closets, bath rooms, wardrobes,
&c., spacious and auipiy provided with tbe
modern improvements in comfort aud elegance.
AH tbe walls of the buildiug are to be double,
with tee passages inside.
liold from the Erare.
One of tbe mo-t interesting items of news
from the Isthmus, by late arrival-, is the dis
covery of gold in large quantities in the an
cient ludiari tumuli aud burial place to tbe
northward of Panama, in the Province or
State of Veraguas. Tbe statements as to the
amounts discovered, it is probable, are con
siderable exaggerated; but of tbe fact of tbo
discovery there can bo no doubt. Tbe Span
iards drew large amonn's of treasure from
similar graves throughout tiio Isthmus, from
OoVta lltca to New Granada, and it may be
supposed exhausted piotty nearly the entire
supply from these sources in all places easily
accessible; but the region around Chiriqui
lagoon, whore tbe present dhcoverics are re
ported to have been made, as well as tbe dis
trict of Neraguas generally, was occupied by
warlike aud indomitable Imlian tribes, who re
pulsed the iuroads of tbe Spaniards; and
hence, probably, these ancient graves esca
ped the genera! sacking which tbo others suf
fered.
The old histoiian, Herrera, tells us that in
the aucicnt provinces of Zruu, a little to tbe
northward of Chagres, of which the people
were the saute with those of Panama and Ve
raguas, toe Spaniards fouud "abundance of
graves, some of them so aueieutihat large and
tall trees were growing over them ; and within
them was fouud an immense quantity of gold,
besides what the Indians took out and what is
stiii lost under ground." In Peru, we know,
vast quantities of gold and silver were taken
from the huacas or burial places c-f tho kings
and cbicftUns. In some instances tbe bodies
of tbe dead were wrapped, like those of the
old Scythian chiefs, iu plates of bu mate red
gold. A skeleton thus enveloped was recently
discovered in making excavations for a railway
in tbat country.
I'or some time after tbe Conquest a class of
fcpauish adventurers devoted themselves to ex
ecuting the huacas, and the product waa so
great as fo lead t.Lc government of the Crown
to appoint special officers to collecting the royal
I fifths. TLus, as early as 1550, Iruui out ot
these tombs among tbe rutus of Chituu, near
j the port of Truxiilo, in the north ot Peru, a
single explorer, named Gartia Gutierrez, paid
nc less than 85,575 casteilauos of gold iu the
lorni of royal fifth, which would give 428,775
oasteilanoes, equal to about §588,000, as the
amount which be obtained from it. But be
did not get ail tho gold, for iu 1592 it Was
again excavcted and 47,000 uustellanos paid us
fifths mto the royal trea-ury, so that it eeeius
that not iess thau 677,000 castellauoos of gold,
equal to §931,000 were taken out ot this huaca
alone.
Within a very few yccrs the iuhabitants of
Truxillo organized a company for new explo
ration* of the kuacat, but with very limited re
sults. The old Spauiaids had pretty effectu
ally sacked he richest, so that ouly an iufeiior
class rciujiued undisturbed, and these were
found to coutain hut iitiio treasure. Still,
considerable quantities of gold have been an
nually dug up in New Granada aud Peru, most
of which has fouud lis Way to England.—
Several thou.saud pounds' worth are melted
down every } ear at the British iMiut. It is
mostly in the form of nude figures of meu aud
animals, which have been cast in moulds of
sand. l:i sonic cases the indurated saud of
the matrix is left iu the hollow part of the
figures.
Tqo yellow, or golden fever, is always mark
ed by hyperbole of tho uiost extravagant kind;
and the statements of our excited friends ou
the Isthmus must be taken with some grains
of allowance. There arc by no means "thous
ands and millions" of these gold bearing graves
"on the Isthmus aud throughout Central Aiori
ca," and if theie were, they would be found to
have Leeu very effectually explored by the
early Spaniards in ail the districts of country
where the Spuutsh authority became cstaoiish
ed. Gold will otiiy he found in the tombs
which exist in remote and secluded districts, uud
these a few huudred men will soon exhaust the
supply.
ADMIXISTffc4TIO.V SG3IERSETS.
Tbe following opinions from Buchanan's Sec
retary of State w ere written iu a period of about
a month:
LttUr to Le Clerc, dated June 11, 1859.
"I have to state that it is understood that
the French Government claims military service
from ail natives of France who may be found
within its jurisdiction, iour naturalization iu
this couutry will not exempt you from that claim
should you voluntarily repair thither. -
L. CASS."
Letter to Hofer, doted June 14, 1859.
"The position of tho United States, as com
municated to our Minister at Berlin for tbo in
formation of the Prussian Government, is that
native born Prussians naturalized in tbe United
States aud returning to the country of tbeir
birth are not liable to any duties or penalties,
except such as were cxistiug at the period of
tber emigration.
L. CASS."
Letter to the American Minister at Berlin, da
ted July 8, 1859.
"The moment a forciguer becomes naturali
zed, his allegiance to bis native country ts sev
ered forever. He experiences a new political
birth. A broad and impassable line separates
him from bis native country. Ho is no more
responsible for anything he may say or do, or
omit to say or do, after assuming his new char
acter, than if ho hud been born in tbe IJ. States.
L. CASS."
6FAIN AND THE BIBLE.— A Madrid journal
the EsperaDza states that "in tbe Callede Ato
cba there resides an English lady who on cer
tain days has protestant worship celebrated
with a certain degree of publicity, in her draw
ing room by a minister of the Anglican Charcb,"
and it suggests that it is perhaps that lady and
ber friends who have circulated tbe 'Bibles and
other perntoious publications,' whicb, it says
have lately appeared in profusion at Madrid.—
The Esperanza there calls tbo attention of the
authorities to tho proceedings of this lady. The
Espana reproduces the paragraph and declares
that the government caunot see with indiffer
ence tho attempt made to break religious unity
in such a Catholic country as Spain.
The niiuiug news from Frazier river contin
ues discouraging. 'lt is thought tout British
Columbia will soon bo ejeared of its popula
tion.
The JUoiinparte Family.
The Gincinnati Enquirer ihus discourses of
Ex-King Jerome Bonaparte and hid family:
It has seldom fslk-n to the lot of any hu
man being to witness such remarkable vicisi
tudo of fortune, affecting him-elf and family,
as has been witnessed by Ex King Jerome Bo
naparte. The dreams of romance have been
excelled by the actual realities of life. He is
the only surviving brother of the illustrious
Napoleon, and wa9 born iu 1784. So loug
has the letter been a historical character, that,
at 6ist it uppears almost impossible that tiic
great conqueror, who, after tuuuiug the most
rennrkabic career of twenty yours that the
world ever saw,-teuuiußted it by Lis de;.tb
nearly forty years ago, upoo the rock of St.
Ueluua, should have a brother now oeenpying
a high position in the French government.
Of all his family, he alone is permitted to
witness both their remarkable riso in prosperi
ty and fortune, and their subsequent tremen
dous downfall, and their Squally wonderful re
turn to tne height of power and influence. -
llis recollection goes back to tbe time when
the family of Bonaparte was not known be
yond the range ot a few friends and acquaint
ances, and when its members in private life,
were compelled to struggle ;n ob-curity wiiti
penury and misfortune. I{ o can recollect ins
mother, a widow with a largj family ot chil
dren on her hands, and when it rtqoircd a stem
conflict to obtaiu for them the necessary tucaos
ot subsistence. He was iu early umuhood
wheu tLe genius of his brother first hurst upon
•he world, and opened to his relatives visions
of power and splendor that never, iu the wild
est flights of iumgiuatiou, had they previously
entertained. He saw his brothers and sisters
placed, by the magic wand of Napoleon, upon
nearly all the thioues of Europe, and decked
with diamonds tuiu coronets.
i'or the Hr>t time tu the h'story of Europe
Was toe es\ryordinary spectacle ober\ed of .
tamiiy of private citizens parcelling thrones
aud i-rowns amoug themselves as it thev lm J
heeu the merest baubles. Jerome Was tuirty
eue years old when tne dark clouds of rni tor
tune and disaster gathered black and heavy
over the fortunes of his tauiily, nud when the
storm oauie that swept them from their height
of graodeur aud glory into the depth of humil
iation and debase incut, lie saw the st.ir of
the Bouiiparte de-ti.jy, so often apoMophized
by Napoieou, sink beneath the clouds, apjutr
cutty never io rise again. For nearly tor:-,
years the bfackuess ot night enveloped it.—
Not one ot the original family saw (bis night
to a close, save Jtrouir; as, before it agiiu
emerged ftoui the political horizon (hey were
ail deceased. Jerouie has had the remarkable
felicity to see the fortunes of bis family re-oa
lablihiied uuder a new Napoleonic d>nasty.
One ot the chiefs of the old empiie, be hlds
_a similar position iu the new. He directs the
counsels of the Regent Empress Eugenie, as
ue had previously cone those of Maria-Louisa.
A great his'.oiicui mo-uuuieut of the past is this
old King Jerome, who personally iias wiiueaa
ed the tuo?t remarkable family history the
world has ever beheld. It is not yet hundred.
11c has not yet attaiucd the urot extreme old
age, aud it is possible that ho may sco events
affecting his family quite as startiiug and re
markable as those which have hitherto charac
terized its remarkable career.
FROM MEXICO.
NKW YORK, July 26.—Ihe Tints' W*sb
icgtou correspondent says the drufc of a trea

1. Right of way across the northern States
bctweeu the Rio Grainie and points cu the
Gulf ot California, with the guarantees for
their protection and safety,
2. Right of way and valuable privileges of
transit secured to the American companv hold

The privileges of erecting and msint.nu
ing warehouses at the tetmini of the several
transit routes.
4. The right of transporting troops and mu

protect them, in default of Mexico fulfilling
that duty.
f. Free entry and transit of goods belong
ing or consigned to American citizens in Ari

6. Entire and unquestionable freedom of re
ligious opinion and religious worship through
out the republic.
7. A clause indicatiog the wiliiugness of
the Mexican Government to accent a modified
form of protectorate at the hands of the Uni

er treaty in fornr of one of alliance offensive
and defensive, but in substance creating a pro
tectorate, whenever the United States shall sig
uit'y its willingness to cuter iuto such engage
ment.
Our Legislative Ticket.
On Tuesday of last week, the American Ra
publiosn Convention of Bedford County placed
in nomination as a candidate for the Legisla
ture, our late member, George W. Williams,
Esq , This completes our legislative ticket for
the district.
The honest, fearless, 9traight-forward course
of Mr. Williams during the last session enti
tled him to a re-noiuinatioo, and we are grati
fied that our friends in Radford marked their
appreciation of his services, as did our party in
this county tbose of George G. Walker, Esq.,
by giving them both a unanimous vote for re
nomination. Our worthy Representatives most

No business in our countiy so much needs a
protective tariff as agriouiture, and unfil other
branches of industry find euoour agcuient and
protection, thirc will be no certain markets
for farm produce.— Gettysburg Sentinel.
