BEDFORD INQUIRER, BEDFORD, Pa. Tridaj Morning, Dec. 7, 1860. "FEARLESS ANI) FREE." D. OVER—Editor and Proprietor. The Cabinet—Gea. Cameron. Pennsylvania deserves a place in the Cabi net of PRESIDENT LINCOLN ! Who denies this 1 No one. Her delegation at Chicago, were tn favor of making Gen. SIMON CAMER ON, the Standard-bearer of the hosts of free dom, in the late csnvess, and when it became apparent that he would not be nominated, the Pennsylvania delegates, recorded their votes 'in favor of Mr Lincoln, and this course of our members of that Convention, made that gen tleman the candidate, and consequently the President. Gen. Cameron immediately ac quiesced, and no man iu the Union did more for Mr. Lincoln's success, and the success of our glorious cause. His labors iu behalf of Gov ernor Curtin, were ardoua, and our success, principally through Gen. Cameron's efforts at the first election, made the eleotion of Mr. Lincoln a forgone conclusion. Nor did he stop here. His exertions were continued for Mr. Lincoln, and he bad tbe proud satisfaction of knowing that his State gave the largest plurality, and tho largest majority, of any State iu tbe UDIOD. We do not knew the views of Gen. Cameron on this matter but if he would accept a place in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, he ought to have it. It would satisfy the people of our State, and add credit to the Admiuis traiiou of President Lincoln. No man is bet ter qualified, than Gen Cameron, for tbe In terior, Treasury, or Post Office Department.— He would equally adorn either station, and re flect honor ou the Stati of Pennsylvania. State Treasurer. Among the most important acts of tbe next Legislature, will be tbe election of State Trea surer, in place or Hon. ELI SLIFER, who will not again be a candidate. Wo only bear of the name of one gentleman in connection with this station, and that is that of Hon. HEN'RY D. MOORE of Philadelphia. Mr. Moore is one of the ablest and most talented men in the St.to, and Las rendered very efficient service iu the late campaign, as well as in former ones. He is well and very favorably known in our Couuty, and his election would ha hailed with delight by our people. TOWNSBIV AND LOCAL LAWS. —We are indebted to Mr. EDWARD F.

AGENTS WANTED. —Tho attention of per sons in want of employment, is directed to an advertisement in another column, for canvas sers for Township and Looai Laws of this State. California And Oregon have both gone for Lincoln, wh*eb increases his vote to 180 elec tors, whi lb gives htm a majority of 57 over all opposition. Tbe Bedford Gazette, of tho 234 ult., bad an article headed "Nullification in Pennsylva nia," in which it charges that the .Republicans of Pennsylvania have passed laws iu conflict with the fugitive slave law. The laws passed in Pennsylvania are principally designed to prevent kidnapping and riotous proceedings in case of an arrest of a fugitive. If these con flict with the fugitive slave law, the singular feature will be presented this winter of a set of Belf-styled . democratic papers and politi cians appeaiiitg to the People's and Republi can party—or as tbey like to stylo them, the if/acAiJlGpttblieaa party — to do justice to the South by repealing acts every out of which was passed by legislatures either in part or wholly democratic, and sanctioned by democratic gov ernors ! Kvcu the new Penal Code adopted last winter, and copied by the Gazette, cou taioing some of these provisions, was the tabor of three democratic lawyers, and signed by a democratic governor! The People's and lie publican party Laving both branches of the Legislature and the Governor, we hope they will appoint committees of able men to exam ine these laws dispassionately, and if tboy arc in violation of the Constitution of the United States or laws made in pursuance thereof, re peal these democratic violations—first, be cause it would be right, and secondly, because the People's and Republican party, with more majority than many slaveholding States have votes, can not only afford to he just, but mag nanimous. Several of the Locofoco papers, and the Ga zette is among the uurnber, are now busy in defending the treason of South Carolina, and one or two of the other cotton States. This is nut strange, as there were tories iu the Rev olution, and there are tories in the North now! If some States have enactments obstructing the enforcement of the fugitive slave law, tbey were passed generally before the Republican party arose, and many of them by tbe Locofo cos. All such laws ought to be repealed.— We do not uphold tvroDg laws in either section of our Republic, but those who throw all the aggression on the North ought to carry hack their memories a few years and recall the ex pulsiun of Mr. Hoar from South Carolina, Laving been sent there by the State ot Massa chusetts as an agent to see that no injustice was done to the free negroes ou board the Mas sachusetts vessels, to tho brutal and cowardly assault on Sumner, to numerous cases of kid napping, and the maltreatment of Northern men in tne South, too often without cause. As the public see in to Lave but little know ledge of facts reiatiug to this subject, we quote a portion of an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer, which will perhaps enlighten some folks who seem to have more faith in "demo cratic" newspaper statements than they have in aught else that is in print—the Scriptures not excepted : Iu IS2G, the Legislature of Pennsylvania passed the act "to give effect to the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, rela tive to fugitives from labor, for the protection of people of color, and to prevent kidnapping." Under this aet a person named Edward Priggl was indicted by the Grand Jury of York Co., for having carried off a negro woman from the Stite, with intent to sell and disnose of her as a slave. The negro wis shown and admitted to have been a slave who had escaped frotu Maryland. The defendant, Prigg, was the agent of her owner, who bad*obtsined a wur raut from a magistrate, in accordance with tho act of 1826, on which the negro was arrested and brought before the magistrate, who then refused to have anything to do with the case. Prigg theu took the slive back to Maryland without complying with the provisions of that act, requiring biui to establish his claim beforo a magistrate. For this he was indicted under the act. The defendant was found guilty, and the case was carried up on appeal to tho Su preme Court of the U nit id States, which gave a pro forma judgment against the defendant, and thence to the Supreme Court of the United States. Oo the argument before the latter tribunal the cause was conducted on the foot ing of au amicable suit between Pennsylvania aud Maryland, which had become a party in interest; and tbe good faith of Pennsylvania in passing the act of 1826 was admitted by the counsel lor tho defendant. Tho Supreme Court decided that that part of the act of 1826, un der which the defendant has been indicted aud convicted (or kidnapping, was unconstitution al, because under the clause of the Constitu tion, the owner of a fugitivo slave had the right of recaptiou, provided he can do it with out aDy breach of the peace or illegal violence. And the court went further and decided, tho' with some dissenting voices, that the whole of tbe portion of the act which provided the mode iu which the reclamation of fugitives from la bor should be couducted was unconstitutional, because CoDgress bad exclusive jurisdiction over the subj;ot. Tbe court futtner decided that the ooustitutioaality of the power confer red upou State magistrates by tbe act of Con gress of 1793 was doubtful, although euob magistrates might, il tboy choose, exerciso that authority, unless forbidden by the State Leg islature. The case was decided in 1842, and the act against kidnapping being held to be unconsti tutional, a large olass of persons were left without any protection from abduction, since, if tbe negro stealer could only escape with bis victim to a slave State, be would be able to dispose of bim beyond recall. Accordingly, tbe Legislature of this Scats, in 1847, passed an act on this subject, which is still in force, except a single section repealed ia 1852 for bidding the use of tbe Sute aud county pris ons, for the detention of fugitive slaves. This act is, in aubstauee, as follows: The first and second sections agaiust kidnap ping are almost identical with those of the act of 1826, except that the words "free negro or mulatto" are used instead of "uegro or mu latto." These sections have siuoe been held ooDstitutiouai. The third section prohibits judges aod other magistrates of the State from exercising anj jurisdiction in fugitive slave cases. While this section is predicated upon BEBFOEB ffiOTIBIJt the principle roooguizeil by the United States Supreme Court, that the States have a right to prohibit thoir magistrates from acting uuler the fugitive slave law of 1793, it perhaps wouid Lave been as well if the State had ab stained from any legislation at all io tlii* par ticular. The admission ol the court that a Statu might prohibit her magistrates from act ing under a' Congressional law, did not require that every State should proceed to do so Besides, the genera! current of the opinion in Prigg's case is agaiust any 'interiuedeliug' of State authority in the matter. Pennsylvania would have set a good example to tbo other States if she had literally complied with the judgment of the Supreme Court, and left all legislation ou the subject to Congress. Now, however, the present fugitive slave law by implication, takes away the power to not under it irora all State judges and magistrates, and couddes those powers exclusively to the United States commissioners and judges The fourth section of the act of 1847 prohibits the owner of the fugitive from retaking him iu a violeut and tumultuous manner, so as to dis turb or endanger the public peace, and imposes a penalty or liue, of not more than one thous and dollars, and imprisonment for uotjuore than three months, ou conviction. The limita tion to the right of recapticu, indicated by the Supreme Court, was that the owner must exer cise it without any breach of the peace or iiio gal violence. The fifth section of the act of 1847 reserves the right of the State judges to issue writs of habeas corpus in all cases of arrest and imprisonment. This act has been rc-enaoted iu the penal code passed at the last sessiuu of iho Legislature, with tin additional seoiioft prohibiting, under a penalty of five hundred dollars, any attempt to enforce a sale made witbio this State of a fugitive slave who is within this State at tbe time of sale. A SPICY LETTER. A committee of young men in Boston, of which James Kedpath, the notorious English Abolitionist, is the Secretary, recently sent a lettsr to Gov. Packer, inviting hitu to partici pate iu a proposed meeting at Trewoct Temple, in Boston, on the anniversary of the execution of John Brown. Gov. Packer returned the invitation, with the following reply, written on the blank leaf cf Bedpatb'a letter : EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ilarrisburg,) Pa., November 21, 1860.

South Carolina Wilt Surely Secede* WASHINGTON, NOV. 25,1860. There is no use of blinking the fact, or striving to delude ourselves with deceptive hopes. We have got to confront tho naked issue of Disunion, which is already almost upon us, and cannot bo put aside by toy small arts or expedients. South Carolina will de clare herself out of tbo Uuion by ordinance, in forty.eight hours after tbe Convention shall meet on the 17th of December. It she can not get a good partner, she will play the garno alone. So much i 3 certain. It is unnecessary to go back and inquire bow this condition of things was brought about, or who is responsi* ble. Everybody knows that the Pierce and Buchanan Administrations, aided by Douglas and other reckless leaders, must answer for tbe crime. The question DOW is, how are we to meet the crisis at hand, and bow dispose of it with the least shock to our institutions, and tbe least injury to all ooucorned . f The conspiracy to combine the Cotton States under an independent Government, with the re-opening of the African slave-trade as its leading idea, is not of reeant origin. It has been progressing gradually for years, and be come mors compact arid united, as the inevi table loss of the power, so long directed by that influence, approached its culmination.— if Col. Fremont had beeu eleoted four years *3O, a demonstration would bare been made. It was all planned here for a large portion of the South to retire from the House of Repre sentatives when the votes of the Electoral Colleges were to be counted. They ouly wanted a convenient pretext to set the ball in motion. This has been found io Mr. Lincoln's success. Sontb Carolina has for the third time, in less than a generation, taken the lead iu a revolutionary scheme. Her politicians have at last, and by persistant effort, succeed, ed in misleading tho bedj of tbo people, and in silencing all opposition—even that which pattioiically mourns the rashness of this at tempt. Disregirding all consequences, she will take the plunge, and to lugure the cooperation of the trt-rU's which still hold back and cling to their traditions, aha desires a collision with the General Goveruuieut, and will not scruple, if need he, to provoke one. lier ambition is a Cotton Empire, with South Caro lina at tne Load of it. Seecabioo is disunion, and is so meant by Uer. It is not possible under our Constitution, as a peaceful resort.— South Carolina does not wisn that it should be so. She wants a levolution with blood, to cement the unity of her projected empire With Cotton for Kiug. The Piesideut has only power to execute existing laws and to summon the militia in certain cases, lu the unusual state of atfairs whieh would arise if South Carolina attempted to open the port of Char leston—her only oue—additional legislation would be required from Congress, and in the existing state of parties that would uot be ob tained. So far as the militia are concerned, it would be an absurdity to call them out in S. Carolina. The of course could resist au attempt to seize the forts and property of the U. S. by lorce, aud he might go further.— liut would it be wise to djp so t Thut is the question. Looking at tbe whole subject calmly aud im. partially, it appears most prudent, since South Carolina has declared her hatred of the "ac cursed Union," to let her depart iu peace.— When the President notifies Congress of her oruiuauce, let it be fairly considered and ao cepted by a solemn vote of both Houses. — Give her tbe public pioperty within her bor ders, treat her liberally iu till thiugs, and with the best wishes for her prosperity, let her make the experiment of a separate Government.— The case has no precedents in our history, aud has therefore to be treated according to its necessity. Two-thirds of both Houses may propose ameudmeuts to the Constitution, and a similar vote or even a majority might be per mitted to release a State from ber obligations under it. In no event ought ooercion to be tried, because however great the provooatiuu may be to assert the full powers of tne Gov ernment, this Union oaunot bo held together by compulsion. A single blow iu such a con test would drive every Southern State in sym pathy, aud by the forc6 of an irresestible at traction to the side of South Carolina. She knows thai, and wonld rather have it struck than not. Judge Magrath expressed as much, at tbe first meeting after he abandoned the U. Stites Court, and be means ail he says aud sometimes a little mote. There is no good reason why this rupture of old ties should be bloody. South Carolina has been discontented and morbid and morose for thirty odd years. Her people can never be oonvinecd by conciliation, or persuaded by con cessions. Every advance will ba treated as the prompting of a craven and selfish uature, ready to surrender principle wheu supposed interest is involved iu danger. Already her organs repel suggestions for the repeal of Per sonsi Liberty bill* as dictated by fear aod truckling. It is useless, therefore, to move iu that di rection. We are brought, then, to the aiter native of meeting the issue by civil war or by peace. The horrors of the first promise uo solution, but anarchy, desolation, and bank ruptcy. The other an easy transition, if we will confront it bravely, and not suppose the heavens are to fall because South Carolina is about to set up for herself, or even to form a Cotton Confederation. It will not require much time for ber tax-hardened people to discover how they have been betrayed into rashness, or to visit opon the authors of their certain ruin the penalties whiob ought to follow such crimi nal decepton._ From the Southern Standard, Trenton, Tenn. Opinions of the Southern Press. SouTa CAROLINA. —This fountain-bead of tories, uullifitrs, rebels, hotheads, fools, aDd traitors, has become standard of Southern statesmen It furnished the main body of tories in the Revolution. Then supported Aaron Burr for the Presidency instead of Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence and founder of the Democratic patty. The next characteristic step was to nullify the laws of Congress and draw the sword agaiust a Gov ernment pie-ided over by such men as Jaoksou, Clay, and Webster. Ever since theu the tur bulent and disuniou elements of the Govern ment h*ve made their headquarters in South Carolina. They were maddened when Calhoun failed to effect the fell scheme of secession, aud have ever since made their patriotism subservient to revenge. The State ban no cause for coinplaiut. No slave can escape from her far southern bor ders. Tbo tariff pays the expenses of the Fed eral Government, and there is nothing lackiug but to keep up a State Govdrnrueut to her liking. The Federal Government, then, does not lay the weight of its little finger upon her, hut has to enduro her Congresstueu who swim in whiskey and buily all Washington. The truth is ibat South Carolina never had a scintilla of wisdom, moderation, or conserva tism, aud has now become completely de ranged. We love Tennessee and Kentucky. Their banners have floated over every battle field in triumph and glory, and never did cither utter & seutiment disloyal to the Uuiou. Their citi- i zeas are noble and patriotic, and have ever de lighted to honor such men as Clay and Jack son. Upon these men, even in her better days, South Carolina waged an unceasing and mali cious war. What, then, shall we do iu this hcur of peril? Will Oid Whigs abandon the teachings of Clay, and veteran Democrats re pudiate the maxims of Jackson, to worship at the sbrino of South Carolina, just when her madness and revenge have reached the climax l VY o hear the answor from every bill top and every valley—from every Whig aud every Detn ocrat coming to the conservative element of the other States, louder than seven peals of thun der. No! never, while the past is remembered or true statesmanship has foothold in America! The border State 3 bear the suffering and loses resulting from the Uaion, and will not hesitate to repudiate the spurious guardianship and ap peal to the Constitution and the Union for pro tection iustead of a set of madmen. South Carolina would bring Canada to our doors, nullify the Fugitive Slave law, surren der the Capitol, the Treasury, and the army of the uation to our enemies, that they might em ploy them in the destruction of our towns aud oiiies, in laying waste our farms, and in stirring up tko servile population to indiscriminate aud j barbarous murder when the gallant SODS otnhe border bad been called away to forma bulwark for the protection of South Carolina and the other rash seceding States. Oh! what philan thropy! It entails war, famine death, and should be greeted not by the smiles of heaven or tbo congratulations of mankind, but with scorn by all patriotic men, and the instigators should daDCC to the deadly music of the oanoon. From the Cumberland Civilian. Some mad caps iu Baltimore have hoisted a Palmetto flag, and some few thoughtless men in other portions of our State avow their eym patby with the accession movements of the oot ton States. On what principle this is done we are at a loss to comprehend. If the star span gled banner has lost its virtue—if it is no lon ger the standard under which patriots can rally, is there not the standard of our own noble State, which never trailed before its enemies or been lowered in the presence of tyrants? What is theie in the Palmetto standard to attract atten tion, that preference should be given to it over that under which the old Maryland line so gal lautiy fought? Who can call to mind the bloody scenes of '76, when the tories of South Carov liua so indiscriminately put to the sword the patriots of the Revolution and mercilessly burnt up then hautes. aud then talk of enlisting un der its standard and sympathising with its mad schemes of disunion. No man of Maryland birth, in whose veins flows the blood of Revo lutionary sires, cau give bis countenunoe to the present doings of the cotton States. But why is it that the extreme Southern States wish to secede from the Union l The ouly rea son that at present can be urged is that some of tbe Northern Stales have passed laws that obstruct the enforcement of the fugitive slave law. But these laws have been on their statue books for a number of years. If they are so obDoxious as to justify a dissolution of tbe Uuion, why is it that there has been no move ment like that of the present nntil this day?— \Y*O hesitate DOI to say, that being without just cause, this is adopted as the pretext for the present movement. The extreme South has beeu ->uxioii9 for years to re-open the slave trade—under tbe present government that can not be done, hut if they can erect a Cotton State Republic, they oan accomplish their pur pose. Negroes can be imported from Africa at SIOO each. By such a process their labor- j ers will be greatly increased aud by consequence they themselves enriobed. But it will impov erish us. Our slave property will largely de preeiate, aud men who now count their thou- ' sands will hardly be worth hundreds—heuce they don't want the border States to go with , them, for they fear that they would oppose tbo openiug of the slave trade. The secret of the secession movemeut is not the aggressions of the North, but a desire to open tbe acouieed slave traffic. Pennsylvania made the first turnpike road iu tbe United Sjatos, laid the first railroad, es tablished the first water works, ran the first lououiotive, established the first hospital, the first law school, the first pnbiio museum, the first hall of music, aud the first library io the world opened freely to all.

NEGRO EQUALITY. Oue of the bugbears if the lata Presiden tial campaign was, that the Republican party and all ttoc supporters ot Lincoln wanted to make negioes iu all respect* equal to whites. The falsehood of this statement has been abuu dautly proved, lu the State of New York, whete Republicanism is of the strongest Sew ard type, the question of amending the Con stitution, so as to allow negioes to vote, ws submitted to the people at the polls on the same day that they were to rots for President. And yet, while there was a majority of about fifty thousand for Lincoln, the proposed negro suffrage amendment was defeated by more than oue hundred thousand. Lincoln bad 3ti1,210 votes, bat negro suffrage had only 172,477, showing that nearly two huudred thousand Lincoln men were opposed to it. If the same ques'ion had been submitted to the pcopje of the other States that voted for Lincoln, it would have been decided in the same way, aud in most Sutra more emphatically than it was in Now York.
