BEDFORD INQUIRER. BEDFORD, Fa. Friday Morning'. Dec. 21, iSGO. "FEARLESS AND FREE." . ■■ ' D. OVER —Editor and Proprietor. Won't some of our subscribers who never pay us any money, bring us some flour, wheat, rye, corn, buckwheat and wood? We need all these things, and haven't the money to buy them. Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer. James Buchanan has recommended Friday, the 4th of January, 1861, to be set apart as a day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer, throughout the United States. He says : "Let our fervent prayers ascend to His Throne that he would not desert us in this hour of extreme peril, but remember us as He did our fathers in the darkest days of the Revolution, and pre serve our Constitution and enr Union, the work of their hands, for ages yet to come." We Lope our people,'as well as the people of the whole land *will keep the day, as recom mended by the President. But ia be sincere ? He it is, that baa brought ua to this fearful condition. If he be sincere in his attachment to "our Constitution and our Union,'' why keep a set of disunion traitors in his Cabinet ? Why have them all around him ss his confi daots ? Why not. reinforce the brave Maj. Anderson at Fort Moultrie, aud, like Jackson, thus avoid bloodshed? We Lope the prayers of all religious men, and women, too, on that day will go up for the perpetuity of this Re public, and for the President, aiso, for it is very evident t-y his conduct for the last lour years, that he needs them sadly. RESIGNATION OF GEN. CASS. Gep. LEWIS CASS has resigned bis scat in the Cabiuet. as Secretary of State, in cotise quenoo of Buchanan refusiog to comply with tha request of the brave Maj. Anderson, the Commandant of Fort Moultrie, for reinforce ments. We are glad of this. Although we have differed, ami stiil differ with Gen. Cass on political matters, yet we always believed him to be a patriot, aud a gallant soldier, and it is a fining timo for him to elore a long and event ful career, by an act of patriotism like tbN, in leaving a Cabinet aud President who appear bent on the destruction of this glorious Union, the best ever established by uian. It is *id J. S. Black has been promoted to the State department, arid E. M. Stanton, formerly of Pittsburg, has Leeu appointed Attorney G>.ne rai in place of Black. Black and Stanton sgree with lluchaDan in the lattei's treasona ble policy. If they succeed in their hellish design of overthrowing this glotious Uuioo j what a Luniiiatiig fact to record iu history, •bat tho gcod old patriotic and conservative State of PuQitsylvann nestled the traitors who consummated tho act.

We purchased one from Mr. Asa Silver, weigh ing 312 lbs, and killed one weighing 2724 lbs. Jehu Bostio, near town, killed one weighing 453 lb. These hogs are hard to boat. HOWELL COBB —OO the Bth inst., Howell Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury, wroto a let tqj to the President, resigning his seat in the Cabinet. His reasons for resigning is the ac tion of bis State in regard to secession. Mr. Cobb has been openly pi; tring treason against the Constitution be had sworn to support, ever since bo has been in office, and yet the craven oid dotard, BuehanaD, has not opposed his con spiracies, nor turned him out of office. He leaves uow, at a time, that, by his treason and bad management of the affairs of the Treasury department, it ia in a worse condition than it has been since the foundation of the Govern ment. Hon. Philip Frank Tbomae, cf Md , 1 bss been appointed as his successor. The Bedford Lyceum will meet at the Court House, oo Saturday eveniog next, at 64 o'- clock. Reclaimer, C. N. lliekok; Essayist, J.

Petersons' Counterfeit Detector and Bank note lias, for December has been received by us and is corrected by Drexol & Co., the well known Bankers and Brokers, and it is the best I and most reliable Detector of Counterfeits and Altered Notes published in this country. The number issued this day fully describes Fifty New Counterfeits, aud contains full descrip tions of all bogus bank notes that are being altered to suit verious banks all over tho coun try, and which are being daily put into exten sive circulation. It also contains several other pages of very valuable information of everything pertaining to bank notes. It has beeu consid erably enlarged, having cow forty eight pages, and contains far-similes of three bogus bank plates aDd the coat of arms of all the United States. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it the most complete, reliable and best publi cation of the kind in the United States, as it is not used to subserve the interests of any bankiog bouse, as most of the *o called Detec tors are. It should Le in the hands ot every storekeeper in the whole country, and we would advise all persons who handle paper money to send One Dollar in a letter, for a year's sub scription, to tho publishers, and thus snbscribe for the inoutbly isauo of it at onco; or Two Dollars for tha semi-monthly issue.

Sixteen are Republicans, 17 otherwise.— The Speaker evidently eudeavored to select the more moderate members of each party, so as to give conciliation a fair chance, in accor dance with the veto of the House. The tire eaters, however txpre&s great dissatisfaction with the Committee, and Hawkins, of Florida, asked to be excused from serving, because he believed that tho time for compromise has J passed forever. They do not want to agree to it, or give Lincolu a fair trial. i he last Gazette has a number of articles in relation to the Un.ou meetings of list week. It insinuates that the first meeting was gotten up by the Republicans, which is not true. — Democrats got it up, and a Democrat brought the bills to our cffice to be printed. Malice auil falsehood characterize the Gazette's com ments on the course the Republicans were compelled to pursue, l'hat paper refuses to publish the proceedings cf the Republican Union mectiug, but promises in this week's pa per to "ventilatp." We hope the editor in re lieving himself of a superabundance of gas will escape the catastrophe of the frog in .rEsop. Speaker of ihe sen*te. We have heard the name of Hon. R M. PALMER of Schuylkill County, mentioned in connection with the Speakership of the Senate of Pennsylvania. Mr. Palmt-r is au able aud ocoompliehed gentleman, and would make an excellent Speaker. We hope to record bis election. Hon. L. W. HALL of Blair County, has the qualities which would make him an excellent presiding officer. He is one of our roost tal ented and rising young politicians, aud the Sen -1 ate would do well to make him Speaker at its close. . r i j Distant Subscribers. We have sent tbeir accounts to most of our distant subscribers. If they are uot paid by the Ist January, we will try to collect them through an Attoiuey.

Bloody Run was incorporated into a Borough at the last Court. We believe the ciiizens of the Borough will still vote with West Provi dence Township. CHRISTMAS.

SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION. —This treas onable body met in Columbia on Monday tbe 17th ioet., and orgauized by tbe election of Gen. Jamison as President. In consequence of tbe prevalence of the smali-pox, in an epi demic form, the Convention adjorned to meet in Charleston on the next day. The feeling ap peared to be unanimous in favor of secession, and it is very probabie, that the first act after meeting in Charleston, was to pass a resolution in favor of secession. The next act in the drama will be the attempt at taking the forts iu tbe harbor. THE MESSAGE. Let us devoutedly thank God fha*, for flic ensuing four years at least, tbe People of the U. rf. are relieved from the annual visitation of a long Presidential lecture wherein Reason is insulted, Humanity outraged, History tra vestied and Common Sense defied, in the in terest of Human Slavery and for the gratifi cation of its upholders. Whatever evils the future may have in stoie for us, this oiuv at least, is for a seasou intermitted if not forever put a>way. The man who in this day talks of the oppo nents of Slavery as blind, besotted fanatics, and represents the current agitation as utterly unprovoked and gratuitous, is simply dishonest. Mr. Buchanan kuows bettor. He knows that the means whereby Texas was thrust into our Union were eminently calculated to arouse ai:v latent Anti-Slavery conviction that slumbered in the breast of our uon-slaveholding citizens, lie knows that, wheu the War nu Mexico Was made to result in the transfer of v >sl and thinly peopled regions from that Republic to our Union, it was inevitable either that Slavery should he excluded from those Territories, or that the People of the United Slates as a whole, and not those of the South exclusively, should tike upon their soula the responsibility of extending Mho peculiar instituton" over a region halt' as large as Europe—far larger thau the Luited States cast of the Mississippi. Mr. Buchanan himself expressly affirms, uud quotes the Supreme Coutt as bis authority, that every foot of Federal territory is neceMa, rily slavehoiding territory—that is, territory subject to the law of Slavery—from the mo ment that it pase under the sway of our Luiou. Ho knows that the Kansas Nebraska bill was expressly au J avowedly introduced to remove legal obstacles to the diffusion of Slavery, and that the bill owed all its itujoir taDee and gtuerul interest to that fact, iluw is it possible, then, for a publicist, with tbe eyes of tbe world fail upon Liui, 10 say that "The long eontnued and intemperate inter ference ot Northern people with the question of Slavery IN THE SOUTHERN STATES has at length produced its natural effects 1" Is the 1 resident s brow brass that it shoal 1 not ctjim son with the consciousness that the whole world will know this to be a lie 1 Does ho not know right welt that the children in oar public schools will point the iiugor of shame at ths uuiLor ut such assertions, who lingers on the brink of the grave to libel and traduce the' most iuteliigeut aud consoioutioos portion of tue people about to be relieved from tbe iu cubus of h's rule ? ihat this man should go back a quarter of a ceutuary aud rake up from tbo very keuuels uf oblivion so foolish an untruth as rbat "In 1535, pictorial handbill, aud inflammatory up peals wore circulated extensively throughout the South, of a character to excite the passious of the slave.-",' can excite no additional wonder ; stitl, tne falsehood is a uiost insane one. VVho "circulated" such appeals and handbills I If i this thing was done "extensively," nuny must havebeen caught at it. if these "pietiria! handbills ' represented imaginary out rages aud cruelties inflicted on slaves, who could so readily detect the misrepresentations as the slaves themselves? If they truly depicted scenes with which slaves wore familiar, how should they be excited by pictorial representa tions any more than by the actual occurrence thus depicated ? Why is it that falsehood must always he exposing itself by absurdities ? Jr. Buchanan asserts that it would be "easy •or the American people to settle the Slavery question for ever," and this simply by letting the slave States alone, and permitting them to 'manage their domestic institutions in their own way.' Yet in this very Message ha proposes 1 to force Slavery down the throats of the i Northern people, and compel them to take upon their consciences the responsibility of justifying, protecting, and extending it, by ti"c or six distinct and impoitaut acts as follows : 1. By amending the Federal Constitution so as to embody in it 'au express recognition of the right of property in slaves in the States where it now exists OB MAY HEREAFTER EX-' IST.' 2 By further amending the Constitution 30 as to affirm therein the 'duty of protecting this right in all the common Territories throughout their territorial existence, and until they shall be admitted as States iuto tho Union, with or without Slavery, as their Constitutions may i prescribe.' 3. By purchasing Cuba from Spain at the cost of all the States, with the morn! certainty that tbe slave-holdiug interest in the Union would thus be strengthened by teo or twelve i additional Members of Congress an 1 as maov Electoral Votes for President. •4. By paying certain Cuban slave-traders I tbe value fixed by tbern on the Auiistad nu- ! groes, taken as slaves from Afrioa to Cuba iti clear violation of laws of Nations and of! Spain, who liberated themaelves as all laws give them a perfect right to do, and wero lan. ' ded on our shores, whenco they were sent back f to Africa, after our Courts had decided that k they could not be legally given up to tbe Cu ban pirates who claimed them. These measures of Pro-Slavery aggression 9 are pressed upon Congress by this same Bu chanan, who tells us in the same breath that all that is asked of us is that we let Slavery in tbe States alone, and mind our own business, and that this will put an end to Slavery agita tion ! But we waste words on such audacity of imposture. What the President says of the alleged Right of Secession, and the inexpediency if not impossibility of Coercion, is iu the main forcibly and well said. We commend it to general attention. ' Our Foreigu Relations, save with Mexico, would seem to be in a satisfactory state ; and . it is to be hoped that tbe reestablishment of tho Liberals at tho City of Mexico—now appa rently imminent—will restore a good under , standing in that quarter. But be wastes bis breath in urging tbe Senate to coufirm the Mo ' Lane Treaty. We have work onough at home, - without uuJcrtakiug to guarantee independence aud good government to Mexico. , Why is there no allusion to Peru, with which country we would seeui to be on tho brick of war ? Our Minister has formally withdrawn ' from Peru; the Peruvian Charge has been r sent away from Washington ; the relations of , the two Govcrnu-ents could hardly bo Worse , in the absenoe of a formal declaration of war ; yet BO allusion is made to Peru iu the Massage ! Probably a special communication will be made to Congress at an euriy day. It is melancholy, at this day, to see good .space wasted on a serious attempt to justify the Lccompton luiquity, or at least the Presi . dent's partiu if. The pretence that that swin dle was 'recognized' by thu Republicans, be [ cause a part ot them were induced to vote against the Slavery article submitted for sepa . rate approval or rejection, is too monstrous.— But no matter, luere is no danger that any body will, at this day, oe won over to Lecornp . tonisin; and the President might as well buve ; lavished bis sophistry in a eulogy on Judas Iseartot or Benedict Arnold. There are some things put y generally understood, -ana 'Lc ootuptou' is one of them. i Iu ail, or nearly all, that the Pre-ideot says with regard to the Tariff, we render a hearty Amen. We would ouly add, L.t there be I O more borrowing, but prompt aud efficient prov i>u lor paying, 'lhe Annual Expendi tures have beeu handsomely diminished of late, though we fear that tbe public service has . suffered in consequence. To reduoe expendi tures is well ; but to reduce them by stopping public works of manite t utility and necessity, is not so well. Let us have economy without staving the public service, and a working balance in the Treasury without further loans, i We thank the President for bis good wrd , for the famishing iu Kansas. If he will DO ' longer impede the passage of the Homestead i b.ll, that measure will aflerd them a very gen erul aud stusibie relief. It may be well to have ait Members of Con g. ess eieetcd ou one day; if so, we suggest that the day fixed lot the Presidential Eleetiou is the proper one. To reject that, and require a special eleetiou for Congressmen in the depth ot Winter, would hardly ba justifiable. On the whole, though there is but a small ( portion of the Message as printed that we can r approve, wo heertily tnaok tbo Presideut foi • the tour columns that, ou revision, he omitted. | ( The omission of another like amount would j have rendered it quite a respectable document. { We thank him, moreover, for the similar Mes- i sages that he wtii refrain from writing through- j out tee years to como.

Numerous appeals have been made to me by pi ous and patriotic associations and citizens, in view 1 of the present distracted and dangerous condition of our country, to recommend that a day be set apart for HUMILIATION, PASTING AND PHATKE thioughout the Union. In compliance with their request, and my own sense of duty, I designate FRIDAY, THE 4TU DAY or JANUARY, 1861, lor this purpose, and recommend that the people assemble on thai day, according to their several forms of worship, to keep it as a sol emn Fast. The Union of the States is at the present mo ment threatened with alarming and immediate dan ger; panic and distress of a fearful character pre vail throughout the land; our laboring population are without employment, and consequently depriv ed of the means of earning their hread. Indeed, hope seems to have deserted the minds of men.— All classes are in a state of confusion and dismay, and the wisest councils of our best and purest men are wholly disregarded. In this the hour of our calamity and peril, to whom shall we resort for relief hut to the God of our fathers ? His omnipotent arm only can save us from the awful effects of our own crim-s and follies —our own ingratitude and guilt towards our Heav tnly Father. Let us, then, with deep contrition and penitent sorrow, unite in humbling ourselves before the M ist High, in confessing our individual and nation al sins, and in acknowledging the justice of our punishment. Let us implore Him to remove from our hearts the false pride of opinion which would impel us to persevere in wrong for the sake of con sistency, rather than yield a just submission to the unforsoen exigencies by which wo are now sur rounded. Let us with deep reverence beseech Ilirn to restore the frii ridship and good will which pre- j vailed iu former days among the people of the sev- ! eral States; and above all, to save us from the hor rors of civil war and "blood-guiltiness:" Let our ! fervent prayers ascend to His Throne that he would n< t desert us in this hour of extreme peril, but re member us as be did our fathers in the darkest days of the Revolution, and preserve our Constitution and our Union. the work of their hands, for ages yet to come. An Omnipotent Providence may overrule exist ing evils for permanent good. Ho can make the wrath of man to praise Him, and the remainder of wrath he can restrain. Let me invoke every indi vidual, in whatever sphere of life he may bo placed to feel a personal responsibility to God and his country tor he-ping tuis day holy, and for contrib uting ail in bis power to remove our actual and im pending calamities.

Courtis and Colds ! SEASONABLE ADVICE. Let no one neglect a cold or a slight cough. Thousands, doing so, have had one cold added to unotber, until tbo mucous membrane, liuing the air passages, has become excessively irrita : ed, and even permanently thickened, and soon chronic cough, chronic pneumonia, and con-, sumption gallop along. The best time to cure all this is when it begins. If you are so for tunate as to possess a case of Humphrey's Specific Homeopathic Remedies, and if you dc> you ought to at once take a cough pill, and then two or three pills per day, with care as to renewed exposure, will bring you all right in a day or two. If your cough has gut further along, then more care aud more pa'ience is necessary for a care, though it lies in the same direction. Our adviee is, to keep the feet warm, the head cool, and take Humphrey's Homeopathic (Jounh Pills. Price, 25 cents par box, with directions. Six boxes, sl. N.
