This has been exemplified in the i case of the present sovereign of Great Britian, if we may believe her subjects. Jn the present embroil ments of Europe, it is said she sympathizes with her daughter, who is identified with Prussia. This is not pleasent to the Prince of Wales, who married into the family of the king of Denmark: nor to the people of England, who are mainly in sympathy with the Danes, and who would fight for them, were they not in vassalage to France.

Humble household ways andjduties have for her a golden significencc. The prize makes the calling high, and the end dignifies the means.

To the Union Men of Bedford County* Since David Over has undertaken to establish a new paper in this Borough, a considerable interest has been manifested to know the terms of the agree ment in regard to the sale of the INQUIRER. Over, we are informed, is endeavoring to excite a sympathy towards himself, by representing that be was compel led to sell out his newspaper establishment —that we ''held the lash over him," and threatened to start an opposition paper ifhe did not sell out to us. Neither of these statements are true. We heard from> differ ent parties in Harrisburg and in Washington l City, about the middle of last winter, that the Bedford INQUIRER could probably be purchased. We came to Bedford soon after hearing this. We immediately sought out Mr. Over, and on our first interview with him he offered to sell the INQUIRER to us for three thousand dollars. Not a word was said by either of us about starting another paper. This was a large sum larger than we expected to pay. A good deal of dissatisfaction at Mr. Over's coarse as an editor was cxpresssd to us, and every leading Union man in the County, one or two exceptions, who could be consulted in regard to the matter, advised us to establish a new paper; peomising us the united sup port of the Tnion party in this County. We did not favor the ideo of starting another paper, but strongly opposed it. It was represented to us on every hand that Over, by his conduct, had forfeited the confi dence of the party he professed to act with. He had no claims, they all said, either upon the party or the community for further support. They regarded his price as an attempt at extortion, which ought not to be submitted to. Over had offered the INQUIRER a few months before for two thousand dollars. While the matter was still pending, some forty of the most active Unio'fi men of the County signed a paper, rep resenting to Mr. Over that the good of the Union party required the transfer of his paper to some other person than himself. This had no effect in reducing the price asked, and an agreement was finally made between us, by which Over received the full amount he asked at first: namely, three thousand dollars. — We were and are satisfied with having paid that sum. The material in the establishment was not worth over six hundred dollars. It was the business and the location that we paid so much for. Over himself has repeatedly told different parties that it was the busi ness and good will of his establishment that made it so valuable. The types were worthless, and nothing but a few old cases and stands were of any value.— We have purchased over eight hundred dollars worth of printing material since we took possession. This j man Over, we hear, represents that there is an un- I derstanding between us. Of course such stuff is false and absurd. There is no understanding between us. If he succeeds, it must be done by dividing the party, and at the expense and injury of the INQUIRER. He has no right to print a paper here. He might as well take our press and types, as to take the business, if he can get it, which he has sold to us. It is gratify ing far us to state in conclusion that he is not re ceiving any support worth anything from the Union men of Bedford County. The movement, we believe, is condemned everywhere by good citizens of all par ties. We append, for the information of our readers, a copy of the article of agreement made between David Over and the present publisher of this paper : ARTICI.ES of agreement made and concluded this sixteenth day of February.
