We do know, bow ever, thai a few years ago, when Judge Doug las was in Rome, it was anoounoed by the Rom-iu Catholic papers that a proaiiuant Amer ican Senator, bad joined that Church, it is also well known thnt bis wife is a strict member of the Roman Cathoho Church, and that his chil dren bi.va baptised in that fattb, and that bo ia a constant atiendeut of that Church him self, Judge Douglva aacl his wife have a right to hold to whatever religion they please, and vfc d m't intend to fiud fault with thetu for it, but a few years ago, when Geu. Scott wajj tbe IV big candidate; because bis wife was a mem ber of jhc Catholic Choreh, the Locofocos electioneered against bitn on that acoount.— What would tfaej do now if Judge Douglas were tbe People's candidate?

We often hear it said in the way of je6t, ibat Lincoln, the Illinois Rail.Splitter, has already •plit the Locofoeo party in pieces. This is another illustration of that maxim which de olaies that 4i tbe truth is often spoken in jest." It is, perhaps, not generally known, but never theless true, that Lincoln, so long ago as 1858, wilfully and premeditatcdly defeated Douglas for the Presidency, and that too by getting up the very division of the lecofooo paity, wb'cb baa since developed itself, and broken the party to fragments. In the great debate between Liucoiu aud Douglas iu 1858, the latter asked the former seveu questions in writing. Lin coln answered them all clearly and fully j uud then thought it was his turn to ask Douglas a few questions, it will be ietuembered that Douglas was the great advocate of popular sovereignty, claiming that the people of every I territory had the right to adopt or abolish slavery as they pleased. At the same time he | endorsed what is called the Dred Scott de i cision of the Supreme Court of the United States, which asserts the doctrine that neither Congress nor the Territorial Legislature has the power to abolish slavery iu the Territory. Lincoln regarded these two positions as utterly inconsistent and irreconcilable, and frimed his questious in such shape as to compel Douglas to entrap and commit, himself, before sub mitting his questions to Douglas, Lincoln, as a matter of prudence, asked the opinion of some of his friends. The principle question he had prepared, was in the following words : '•Can the people of a United States Terri tory, any lawful way, against the wish of auy citizen of the United States, exclude slavery from its limits prior to the formation of a state constitution 1" His friends unanimously counseled hioi not to put the question, fur, said they, ' if you put that question to hiui he will perceive that an answer giving practical force and effect to the Dred Scott decision it) the territories inevita bly loses htm the battie, and he will therefore reply by affirming the decision as an abstract principle, but denying its practical applica tion. " "But," said Lincoln, "if he does that he can never be Presideut." His friends replied with one voice, "that's not your look out, you are after the Senatorship." "No, gentlemen," rejoined Lincoln, "/ am killing larger game." The question was put, and Douglas in his vain effort te reconcile Squatter Sovereignty with the Dred Stott decision, was forced into the dodge known as **unfiitndly legislation," that is, that although a holder of slaves had a right under the Dred Scott decision to take hie slaves into a Territory, and hold theiu there under the Constitution of the United States, yet the Territorial Legislature might and could by "unfriendly legislation" •'effectually pre vent the introduction of slavery into the Ter ritory." This answei of Douglas manifestly deprived the owners of slaves of uli valuable rights un det the Dred Scott decision, ihe South aban doned Douglas from that day forth, and it is now considered almost certain ue can uot carry a single one of ail the Southern democratic States, 'ihe position of Douglas at the North forced biui uu the party as a nominee for the Presidency, but be was nominated by a divided convention, by states whieh can give bim no electoral votes. The South seceded from the convention, rcpuliated both Douglas and his Platform, and will give almost their euiire party support to Breckinridge. Thus our gal-' lant snniard bearer, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, by Lis wonderful foresight and sagacity, split the ouce great democratic party in pieces, and for all practical purposes defeated Douglas for the Presidency two years before fit was nominated. All hail to our noble leader! Honor to whom honor is due 1 Hear what a Bell Paper Sajs. Tbe following exit-acts are from a long ar ticle ia last week's Cumberland Civilian and Telegraph, a strong Bell and Everett paper, in onr sister County of Aileg.oy, Md. -The editor in this article speaks of the attempt of the Bell men in different parts of tbe country trying to sell out, in some cases, to Douglas, ;□ others, to Breckinridge. He says : "Our readers are aware, that as tbe advocate of Bell and Everett, we have pronounced our "unqualified opposition to ail fusion, and iu.isted upon our friends, in all the States, runniii" a pure Bell and Everott ticket, should it° be (bought advisable to pursue a different course, we Lave advised a onion with the triends of Mr. Lincoln. '* '•Now the objections which we have stated as lying with great force again-d Breckinridge and Dougl-s do not lay against Mr. Lincoln. lie is not charged with being a disuuiouist, — but bis enemies persistently affirm that the principles of Lis party, if carried out, will re suit in tbe destruction of the Republio. Con gressional legislation on the subject of slavery in the teiritortee, is the doctrine both of tbe Ureekinridge Lincoln parties, with this difference, the Breckinridge party favors Con gressional intervention for the protection of slavery in the territories, wtiile the Lincoln party, are in favor of Congressional legislation to prohibit slavery in the Territories. The Breckinridge doctrine is of recent origin, while the Lincoln doctrine is A8 old BS tbe Republic itself. Before the adoption of the Constitu tion, and when tho States were held together by articles of confederation, Virginia ceded that portion of her territory lying West of tho Ohio river to the general government, and Congress passed a law prohibiting slavery in said territory, and to which, no objeotion, which appears on record, was made by Virginia or any other State—and immediately after the adoption of the Constitution, which was sub stituted for the articles of confederation, Oau- BEDFORD IBHIUIRSR. gress reaffirmed the law of 'B l. lu the one CUSP hrn, we have upon the pari nf the fathers of the Republic, Congressional legislation to prevent slavery in the terriioiies, wuile on the other we have only a theory of recent growth. We certainly incline to the belief, that the early legislators of our country, knew as well, if not better than their descendants, the true import antl meaning of tho Constitution, and were as anxious to abide by its provisions as we of tho present day can possibly be. Wc do not think therefore that an act of Congress prohibiting slavery in '.he territories would* form a just cause for violent measures upon the part of the South. Aud then Mr. Lincoln jis in favor of a tariff. So that ..independently j ot the slavery question our interests ate with j the Liucoluitns. Entertaining these views we have advised, il a coalition is indispensably oecessary, a uniou with the LiucolniteG, but our preference, wc again state, is tLat our friends should row their own boat, fight under their own standard, and enter into no entangling uliiauces, especially such as would inure not to interests, but to that of the democracy." WESTMINSTER REVIEW. —The Westminster Review for July is on our table.

Tho foregoing eoDoise enumera tion of the contests of the present number is more convincing tliSn any labored commentary we might write, of the value of review litera ture. It is a fair specimen of tho variety which characterizes every uumber of the series ot re publications of which this forms a part.

In ibis State the Bell men weie sure they would succeed. In Kentucky, Gen. Leslie Coombs is elected Clerk of the Court of Appeals, the only State office elected this year, by from 5,000 to 10,000 majority* He is a Bsli man. In .Missouri, Frauk BUir is beateo bv Bar rett for the short term in Congress, but beats Sarre't for the long term. The Americans united with Barrett tor the short term.but voted for a roau of their own for the toog term. It is not ret ascertained how th 4 State his gone for Governor. In Arkansas, tiiu Breckinridge party has ca.-rird ail before them, D<wl<* is nowhere. Bell omont carry more Uuti O.JK r t,vo State* in the S.'U'b, Douglas caunat c.rry more than one, all tho rest, except, possibly, Delaware, which may go for Linoolu, will go for Breckinridge. The contest for President is narrowed down to Lincoln or Breckinridge. All the votes for Bell or Douglas will be thrown away. THE BILL ROLLING IL\! Meeting in St. Clair Tp. A large meeting of the friends of Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin, was beld in Pleasantville, St. Clair Tp., last Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of forir.iug a Lincoln Club. Although the farmers were busy with their outs, yet a large number of the hardy sons of toil wore there, and their enthusiam was great. Hon. Alex. Kmg made uri able and argumentative address, which was listened to with marked at tentrou. A great many then enrolled them selves as members of the Lincoln Club. St. Ciair Tp., will do her part next fall in redeem ing this County, and no mistake. Let other Townships follow her example. Organiie Clubs, and wakeu up tho Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin boys. FIRE —On Sunday morning, between 3 aud 4 o clock, the double log 6table, occupied by Messrs. James Corboy and Samuel Kettorman, was observed by the former, to be on fire.— Very little effort was made to save it, as there was scarcely any water to be had, and it burn ed to tho ground. Mr. Corboy had a conplo tons of hay on Lis mow. The stable was own ed by Mr. N. Lyons. It is strange that to many stables in this placo are burned, and equally strange that the causo of the firo is never found out. Douglas' Home Organ Gone Up. The Chicago Times, the Homo Organ of Judge Douglas, has coascd to exist. It was bankrupt both in politics and finances, and has beeu sold out and purchased by the Chicago Herald, a paper that has heretofore supported the Administration against Douglas. Douglas has no earthly show of carrying a single State in the North, and bis own Stato of Illinois will give Lincoln a large majority. "Don't Want Wbigs to support Him." Remember, Wbigs of Bedford County, that S. 11. Tate, Esq , the Douglas candidate for Prothonoury, said in a speech at Bloody Ruu, that be " never wanted a Whig to support him!" Will you support him this fall, after this insult ing remark—that's the question. The crowd at the Springs still continues. — Among the litest arrivals, is our friend, Col. L. W. Hall, Seoator from the Blair District. % HUMOR OP OUR FRIENDS.— Tbe following - unique bill was posted up in various places in tbe town of Woodberry, iu this County, some days ago.

Ttie Democratic paity goes into the present Presidential canvass with the responsibility of the following acts of the last se-tsion of Con gress upon its shoulders: Defeat of the admission of Kansas. Defeat of a just Homestead bill. Defeat ot a Protective Tariff. Defeat of ;he bill prohibiting Polygamy. Defeat cf the bill annulling tbfc slave code of New Mexico. Passage of Jeff. Davis's slavery protection resolutions. Threats of disunion from nearly every De mocratic memtier of Congress,.in case a Re publican Pre-i lent should be elected next tail. The Buck- County Intelligencer pertinently asks what support docs a party deserve from the citizens of Pennsylvania which has identi fied it-elf with such measures and sentiments? The great wonder is how they manage to keep up even a show of organization in the face of such blasting proofs of unfaithfulness to the Slate and the whole nation. RENOUNCING TUB PARTY.— Almost daily we hear of honest Democrats "coming out from among the foul party" and enlisting un der the banuer of Lincoln and Hamlin. One of our Illinois exchanges contains a letter from Thos. S. Hi inline. fur some lime past chair man of the Democratic club in Macomb coun ty, announcing that bo has closed his connec tion with tbo Democracy. Mr. Haioliuo say a : "Having recently read the speech of Judge Douglas in the U. 8. Senate in which he takes occasion to say in substance, that his doctrine of non intervention had given to the South slave territory five times larger iu extent than the State cf New Yoik, whilst it had not given to the North an inch of free territory, and re membering thai our Democratio leaders in this State claimed four years ago that the icsults of that doctrine would bo in favor of freedom, I am inclined to believe that I bave followed the lead of Judge Dougl as long as a candid man should be required to do." Speaker Pennington, addressing LU constit uents on bis return to New Jersey, made the following allusion to Hon. John Sherman and the contest for the Speakership. He said: "I know thirty days before my election that there were men enough who would vote for me, together with the voto that had already becu cast in my favor, to elect me; but I did not want the office, and 1 told my friends to keep and I throw my vote always with one exception, fdr John Sherman, of Ohio.— [Prolonged cheers.} 1 am not ashamed of tbat vote. [Renewed cheers-.] 1 gave it to a good man, an honest man, a true man; and I tell you the history of John Sherman is yet to be written. Ho bas a history yet before him, and oue that will be oreditabie to biuiself and to his oouutry. When I came into office, I placed at the head of the chief ocmnuittee John Sherman, who had been defeated for my place. [Applause.] I felt 1 was bound to no this In honor; *nd I can nay, aa a number from Vir ginia said to qoe, that no uian ever filled that poet equal to John Sherman." DOUGLAS REPUDIATED IN FULTON COUNTY. At the County Convention held on Satur day, in McOonoellsbarg, a resolution endors ing the nomination of Douglas in mild terms was disagreed to, only a tew voices being in the affirmative. Dr. C. V. M'Chcal was nom inated tor the Assembly, aud C, McNulty for Pfothonotary. Douglas TB. Johnson. WHAT IS POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY ? And now on this.

Tho Hanisburg Telegraph, speaking of our gallant uominee for Governor, Col. Andrew G. Curtiu, says be has opened the canvass, and is now traversing the iStato addressing the people at various points on the great issues which are uow agitating and dividing tbe political parties iu the country. Everywhere—Ess', Wed, North and Sourit—he is received with great enthusiasm, and his speeches are rousing up the people to activity ami energy for tbe coining contest. As a popular speaker Col. Curtin has few equals. Thoroughly versed ID the political bistoay of tue State, and the natioo, extensive ly aaquaiuted with public ineu, familiar wtih the business iotoiesis and wants of the couutry, a hue voice, & happy delivery, a keen sense of the humorous and ridiculous, of handsome per son aud commanding presence, his speeches tell with groat effect upcu the large popular audiences he is called upon to address. Hut may wo ask. what has become of Gen. llc-nry I). Foster? Foi a short tiuio after the Heading Convention, Democratic journals ull over the State wore filled to repletion with the feats of his ability and prowess, One would have supposed that a Clay cr a Webster had suddenly sprung up in the pemoo of GOD. Fos ter. lis must have been greatly nvonisbed himself, to hud whit a great man he really was without having ever dreamed of it himself, or his nearest neighbors and oldest and most in timate friends having discovered it, until after his accidental nomination at Readiug. Now ue object to the great luminary concealing his light uoder a bushel, in the 'one horse village* of Grecusburg, when the wtiole State ought to be basking in its sunlight. He asks to be made Governor of this great Commonwealth, and the people would like to know where the aforesaid iieury D., stands, upon what grounds he chal lenges their suffrages, and what they might ex pect from his election, la he for Douglas or for Breckinridge? Kor Popular Sovereignty, or for a Stave Code? For it seperate Electoral Ticket, or for Fusion? For a Tariff, or Free Trade? For Freedom, or for Slavery? These arc questioos which the people hereabouts are asking very anxiously, without any person be ing able to enlighten them. Now we trust this Democratic champion will not skulk the respon sibility of meeting those enquiries, but will come out boldly and manfully, and avow his creed, his principles and his preferences beforo the people whose suffrages he is soliciting. Col. Curtin unrobes boldly up to the work. He has no concealments, lie goes for Lincoln and Hamlin with his might. He takes the broad national conservative principles aud can didates of the Chicago Convention and com mends them by bis character, ability and elo quence 10 the people of the State. The people of Pennsylvania want a bold, frank, intrepid man to hold the reins of government for the next three years. No "artful dodger," no tune serving, double dealing politician, in a time like this, can gaiu their votes, or seoure their confidence. Let Gen. Foster, therefore, come out in a plain distinct and dcoided way into daylight, that we may know why and where fore he should or should not be Governor of Pennsylvania.

Ho bad waited in vain for .he return ot the party to the principle, to which he baa been brought up from his cbild hood lie also stated that if ever there was case of the depatlure of a party from funda mental principles it was uovr, by the so-oa lisri Democratic party. tie then argued that slavery was nothing but a local institution, that it bad been deci ded in this State, by tbe Supreme Court, that such an institution had no existence outside of a slave siate. It was by tbe influence of the party iu power that that decision was over ruled. "[At this point the stand, on which wo were located gave way, rendering tho safety of Loth reporter and manuscript exceedingly perilous; iu constquencc of which we lost considerable of the argument of this distinguished speaker j ibe next point of the speaker, which we caught, was that iu relation to tho right ot Congressional Intervention.

RKEDER'S OPINION OF DOUG LAS. This distinguished Pcnnjylvantan, now on a visit to Kansas, undo a speech at Lawrence in which he alludes to various incidents that occurred while he was Governor of that Terri tory. Having incidentally, in the connection, to speak of Dougla%, hs gives the following as his private opinion publicly expressed, of him. It is proper to say that Mr. Reeder has bad better opportunities of knowing Douglas's views aud acts, so far as they related to the Kansas difficulties, than most other men. lie is therefore capable of giving a correct opin ion as to Douglas's honesty, which corrobo rates that of most other men, not his worship pers: "The Governor then passed in his remarks to a consideration of natioaal politics. He showed how the Republican party had grown up by a necessity, out of the aggressions of tho slave power. Ho defended it triumphantly against the attacks of coemies, and showed it to be the guardian of popular rights and the defender of the Constitution and Union. lie told bow be bad beeu a life long Democrat, but he had been forced to leave that party by its foul trcaobery to the rights of the people. He commented in terms of great severity up on the eourse of Mr. Douglas. He said that, previous to Mr. Douglas's celebrated Kansas report, so full of ail manner of slander end falsehood against tho people of Kansas, he (Gov.
