BEDFORD. PA,, FRIDAY, JAJi. 4, 1567.
THE l ! . S. SENATORS IHP.
Who shall he the next 11. S. Senator
from Pennsylvania is a question that is
eagerly and anxiously asked, not only in
every part of our own State, but in almost
every other State in the Union. It is no
trivial question. If will have an important
hearing upon the legislation affecting the in
terests of the whole country for the six year
following the 4th of March next. That a
Republican will be elected there is not the
shadow of a doubt. Rut as to who is the
Republican destined to receive this high
honor and responsible trust there seems to
be considerable doubt. Of Aspirants there
av many. Of (it men, few. Pennsylvania,
though the second State in the I nion in
-, ill and population, and in many things
;. has always; been lamentably defi
ri io in men of mark to represent her in
tin U.S. Senate. Statesmen have always
boon :> w . politicians plenty. Iler Senators
have oftener been of the latter than of the
fprricr, few have done her honor; some
have disgraced her. Ability, firmness and
in;, . rity are the three great requisites ask
• , i v the people of Pennsylvania of him
w ! is •; take < irtf of then interests in the
t'. Senate for the next six years. No
man lacking any oue of these qualifications
, opeyly r, pre.-cnt Pawiu.-ylvauia in the
u. |, t Ilou.-o of Congress, and wield that
iniiueuce which our representative should
it. his branch of the national council. A
number of good men have been named for
this distinguished position; some of them
possess undoubted ability; a few have al
r rtdy tilled high offices of trust, cither state
or national. Each has his friends. Pre
eminent, above all others in the possession
of the requisites of ability, firmness and
integrity,stands the great Commoner,Thnd
dcus Stevens. His advanced age is the
only objection to his election. That he
would be sadly missed ii. 'he popular branch
of Congress is true ; 1 ut it is an easier task
to find a fit man to succeed hiut there than
to find one who can fill the Senatorial posi
tion with the influence and ability of Ste
vens. On him we can rely in every emer
gency. From him no base betrayal need be
feared in the hour of danger. With him
every device of the political trickster would
fail. Abashed from his presence the briber
with bis sordid gold would shrink away.
Under his eye the wavering would stand
fast and the timid become bold. With hint
in the United Senate we would for
once be there represented by one whose
record as a statesman will be an honor to
Pennsylvania through all iuture time.
Though old in years and experience he is
young in intellect; in active and progress
ive thoughts and ideas he lias no peer in or
out of Congress. Thaddeus Stevens is be
yond comparison the fittest man in Pennsyl
vania for United States Senator.
With all the vaunted abilities ofSecrotary
McCulloch as a financier, he has seldom
been able to secure the endorsement of any
of his financial schemes by the nation at
large or by Congress. His late report in
this respect L. r ' more successful than bis
previous effor s. After a careful study of its
statements, tt. ones and suggestions we find
the only point on which we can agree with
him is in the expression of the opinion that,
"it will be our own fault if we do not entirely
escape those severe financial troubles which
usually befall nations at the close of expen
sive and protracted wars." Of the fact
here stated we have all along been fully
convinced. But we have been quite as
fully convinced that we would commit the
very fault thus deprecated by following the
advice and suggestions the Secretary else
where makes. He warns us of danger, tells
us it will be our own faults if we do not
avoid it, yet advises to steer the ship directly
upon the breakers of financial ruin. Hor
ace Greely, though greatly in error as to hi 8
premises, is consistent in his advocacy of
immediate and rapid contraction. He be
lieves a financial crash involving the
dc-truetion of our c( ];fi cc inevitable
and wishes to bring it on . rase the
whole fabric to the ground ana .. .
Secretary McCulloch is correct in his t /
ises, that a financial crash can and ought Id
be avoided, yet persists in urging a rapid
contraction, the effect of which al! having
any knowledge of finances know and declare,
must inevitably bring financial ruin. The
Secretary deprecates stock gamoling and
speculating, yet urges the enactment of a
law obliging all the national banks to redeem
their circulation in New York City, thus
increasing to a still greater extent the facili
ties for stock gambling in Wall street. He
deprecates the exportation of our bonds and
points out its bad effects upon our industrial
and commercial interests, yet asks authority
to issue bonds for the express purpose of
exportation, and made payable in Europe,
lie points out the fact that bonds, com
pound interest notes, and other indemnities
to the amount of about #1,300,000,000 fall
due in the next two years and mast be paid,
for the most part, by the negotiation of new
loans, yet urges such a contraction of the
currency as will inevitably decrease our
receipts from revenue, damage the national
credit and increa- the rates of interest, at
the very time that the 0 I ans will have to
Ihi negotiated and when the national welfare
requires that the rate of interest be the
very lowest possible. His views upon the
tarifl. which has so vital a bearing upon our
finances are no less contradictory and incon
sistent ; the effect of the few useful sugges
tions which he make; upon the subject is
neutralized by picas lor a reduction of the
wages of the American laborer to a level
with the pauper wages of Europe, coupled
with flings at our manufacturing enterprises
scarcely kept alive by occasional incidental |
protection, as home monopolies built up by '
.prohibitory duties. Altogether we think
the Secretary's report, aside from the state
ment of the national indebtedness and the
various forma in which it exists, likely to
give but little aid to our representatives in
shaping the legislation pertaining to this
department of the government.
RETROSPECTION.
LETTER FROM PILORI*.
The year of 1806, with HI its anxious cares
aud scenes of chnnges has passed away ; and
is now numbered with the years before the
flood. A new Prince of time —the year 1867,
hns grasped the sceptre, and entered upon
his reign. Surely this is a suitable season to
reflect upon the past, and to anticipate the
future. A short newspaper article will not
admit of a panoramic view of earth's teem
ing millions, with their untold variety of
individual experience. Pilgrim in conimu
niag with the readers of the IsqrtßEß, can
only glance at a few items, and then take bis
staff nnTl plod along in life's pilgrimage. The
year 1866, will long be signalized in Ameri
can history as the era of the rise, progress
and decline of a prominent political party,
called by by the euphoneous name— Conser
vative. Although the signs of the times fot
months had been omnious, and a feeling of
anxiety pervaded the nation, the distinct out
cropping of the new organization, to many,
was only visible in the month of February,
when the Executive, who had been gradually
encroaching upon the Legislative department
of the Government, made an inflaraatory
speech at the National Metropolis, reflecting
severely upon some of the best patriots in
the land, and virtually repudiating the princi
ples of the party by which he had been eleva
ted to power, and by which the calamitous
war had lieen conducted to a successful ter
mination. The majority of Congress were
denounced as revolutionists and usurpers.
The honorable tnen, thus assailed, appealed
to 'heir constituents for a vindication of their
course. The public mind was intensely agi
tated ; time serving politicians allured by
the spoils of office and the glare of patronage
became zealous champions of the new "poli
cy." The cruel sword of proscription was
unsheathed, and many noble patriots hurled
from position, in order to give place to others
whose loyalty had neither been pure , or
above suspicion. An homogeneous assem
blage of non descript politicians from every
point of the compass met in Philadelphia in
the month of August, to give shape and form
to the new organization, which proffered very
kindly to relieve patriots from the burdens of
Legislation, and to reward the "gallant arms
of the South" for their slight aberration
from the path of rectitude, by bestowing up
on them the spoils of office, and the dignity
of official position 1 The amiable Raymond,
no doubt with a pure motive, taxed his inge
nuity to the utmost, in order to blend the
pure waters of loyalty with the crude unrefi
ned petroleum of State Rights and Seces
sion ! Learned committees did the work and
saved the Convention from the labor of dis
cussion ! The false Prophet Train, tele
graphed to the Executive the tidings that the
new movement was "success," and the Con
servative party would bear rule in the land !
The speechless convention adjourned. A
company of distinguished characters left the
National Metropolis on an electioneering
lour, and made it convenient to call at the
tomb of Douglas. The eloquence of the
chief speaker, as he "whirled round the cir
cle" fell crushingly upon loyal hearts and
aspirations, like showers of ice upon Spring
flowers, or summer's 7 ripened fruits !
Throughout the Kevstn"" niia espe
cially in the county of Bedford, Conserva-
June ! Conservative songs, ctocumonTs
and speakers, for the time being, sat aside as
useless the exploded amunition and worn-out
machinery of the "time honored Demcracy."
As expressed by a brilliant poetess in refer
ence to the rain-bow, so with the new Conser
vative party,
"Twas born in a moment, yet quick as its birth,
It had spread to the uttermost parts ofthe earth."
As it regards its numbers and component
parts (many of tnera had been rebels) a
modern poet's reference to the fallen Angels
may not be inappropriate :
"From thrones of glory drivan,
liy flaming vengeance burn'd,
They throng the air and darken Heaven,
And rule this lower world."
With Autumn's chilling winds nnd killing
frosts the great Conservative party passed into
the "sere nnd yellow leaf." The fall elec
tions gave unmistakable indications that the
patriotic heart of the nation beats true to the
principles of constitutional liberty. Light
gleams athwart the heavens; the cheering
hope may be indulged in that the day is not
far distant when "a Republican form of gov
ernment shall have been obtained in all the
States of this Union." When the "erring sis
ters," politically regenerated, shall have re
turned to their first 10/e ; and a reunited
peaceful and happy country under the gra
cious smiles of heaven, enter upon a new and
glorious career of prosperity, with the fol
lowing watchwords to guard against troubles
the future : Morality, Intelligence, and
arable.' n ' on an Liberty one and insep
the count, oV hile !et ftU the Pa l ™ ls in
merit, and who cwi£' who prize honest
rimentto themselves or w.thout det
for the INQUIRER. IT is a well
and deserves success. Wishing its
happy Awe Year, and man, da,s of pleas
ure in the future, Pilgrim will resume his
journey, and pass on with Earth's millions
toward the Catherine doom of the nn
shore.

FRIEND'S COVE, Bedford county, Pa., Jan
uary Ist, 1807.
IETTEK FROM*UNCLE TOBY.
EDITORS INQUIRER:
Permit '"I nele Toby" for the sake of hu
manity to say a word. Two forged letters,
purporting to be from Uncle Toby, lately ap
peared in the Bedford Gazette ! U. T. is
slightly apprehensive that his former friends,
the readers of that periodical, will have their
sympathies unduly excited lest he should be
sinking into a state of mental imbecility, as
would be indicated by said letters. Their
authors, are miserable imitators, being no
legitimate offspring of U. T.—but literary
thieves, conceived in sin, born in iniquity,
reared in transgression. U. T. is not willing
to have ascribed to him the authorship of
their sublimated nonsense. It is somewhat
singular that the Editor of the Gazette, sup
posed to be a gentleman of refinement, and
literary (aste, a former Old Line Whig, and
Conservative lecturer, should, by revising, cor
recting, and ornamenting their "embittered
I scribbling," make himself a party to the ne
farious fraud 1 U. T. was kind to the Edit
or, he tried "to convert him from the error
of his -ays," and to bring him back to the
paths of patriotism and loyalty. U. T. by
depositing a ballot in his favor at the late
election, slightly decreased the respectable
majority against him. rind is this the re
ward of kindness ! "Tnou TOO BRUTUS."
Is it possible that the lui-s candidate for Sena
torial honors should so for loose sight of the
dignity of his portion, and his noble aspira
tions as to become a confederate with literary
thieves and robbers ! !
Well the world has always l>een ungrateful
and never duly appreciated its instructors
and benefactors, f". "T. can exercise the
grace of patience, and let the learned frogs,
swell to their utmost capacity. With the
educated and refined reuders of the Gazette,
this monstrous cheat, is easily detected. A
lady of this class near Rainsbttrg, gave vent
to her indignation on the subject in the follow
ing eloquent strain—"l do wish D—n A —,
would quit writing for the Gazette. Any
person of sense can see that he. is not the
true Uncle Toby. I am surprised that Mr.
M publishes his silly stuff-, he ought to
sec that it is calculated to injure the Southern
cause!" U. T. perfectly coincides in sentiment
with that intelligent lady. The authors of
l\m forged letters may do well enough at the
work of " proscription"— a detestable busi.
ness which seems to accord with LiUputian
manhood—hut their fame us writers, will not
be breathed in classic halls, or, heralded by
poetry and sung to future generations. U.
T. flatters himself that he can manugi his
own case without their special pleading, aud
row his boat on life's ocean without borrow
ing their onrs. Give Uncle Toby's love to
"Pilgrim." He would like to grasp the
"wandering philosopher" by the bund and
welcome him to the hospitalities ,of the home
so lonely in the shadow of the mountain.
Tell that humorous tourist, that U. T. has his
"shalalah," and will pay due respect to the
"long-eared gentry.'' Meanwhile
Undo/Toby, will push en ihc car of pr-gress,
And keep step t > the music o! die Union,
Whilst reading and reflecting
At his home - . ontly

Virginia and the Amendment.
For a considerable time. past a feeling
more favorable to the amendment ha- been
manifesting itself among the more in! Hi:; nt
classes in Virginia. The Richmond 7iW*
republishes, without dissent, the following
quotation from a letter published in a Nor
thern paper:
"Every day evinces a growing disposition
on the part of the people to adopt the Con
stitutional Amendment. The in miter.- f
the Legislature arc daily becoming convinc 1
of its true worth, and as the ree - will ena

, subject, there is hardly a doubt
V Were will be a majority in its favor
upon the re assembling in January."
in addition to the above we huve the fol
