The St. Louis Fvening Xews publishes a long article giving the views of Mr. Bates" on the Slavery question. The News, though it does not speak "by authority," says the opinions it attributes to Mr. Bates are made np of his pub lic and private record. As Mr. Bates is like- ly to be prominent among the opposition can didates for the .Presidency, the article has at tracted considerable atteution. lhe main points it sets forth are as follows : Mr. Bates does not believe that African sla very is a beneficial institution, either in a so cial, political, or religious sense. Not in a political sense, because it is productive of dis cords between nations that tolerate it and na tions that do not, and because it is liable to panics, and has often ended in bloody revolu tions. Not in a religious sense, because it makes the word of God a sealed book to the slave, and gives his body to the service of a human master ; whereas the body of every created being should be freely given to the service of God. Because Mr. Bates does not believe that slavery is a beneficial institution, either in a social, political or religious sense, he is unalterably opposed to its extension into territories already free. Mr. Bates heartily endorses the sentiment, and holds to the creed of Mr. Clay, who de clared that his right arm should drop from his shoulder before he would vote to extend sla very over one foot of territory already free. Mr. Bates does not believe that the Constitu tion carries slavery into all the territories that may be acquired by the United States. He lielieves that freedom is the rule and slavery the exception. He does not believe that sla very can exist in any territory acquired by the government of the LTnited States except by the positive law of Congress. That law Mr. Bates would not be in favor of passing, be cause, for reasons already given, he is opposed to the extension of slavery into territorj' al ready free. Mr. Bates denies that the exclu sion of slave property from territory acquired by the common blood and treasure cf the U nion establishes an invidious distinction be tween the two sections of the Union, and as serts that the distinction complained of is co eval with the government, and that the prohi bition of slavery from free territory was em bodied in the original compact of the Union, for which the slave States were allowed in Congress and in Presidential elections three Totes for every five slaves. He therefore does not regard the non-admission of slavery into territory as establishing a distinction between property, but simply as maintaining a distinc tion already established and willingly assented to by the South since the formation of the Government. He regards the principle of the Nebraska bill as rendering the introduction of slavery into the territories impossible, and does not believe that Congress will intervene to protect slave property in the territories. He firmly adheres to the rights of property in slaves in the States where slavery already ex ists, and if President he would execute the Fugitive Slave Law, if the army and navy of the government were equal to the task. He wouid consider the Union a broken com pass if these plain guarantees were denied by the deliberate and persevering action of any part of the confederacy. If Congress should legalize and pass laws protecting slave prop erty in territories previously free, Mr. Bates would execute these laws as promptly as any other laws of the land. He would not oppose the admission of a State because ot a pro-sla-Tery constitution. He would never counte nance a National organization for any interfe rence whatever with slavery in the States. He is glad to see the rapid and peaceful ex tinction of slavery in Missouri, without the aid of emancipation parties, and without the heat and acrimony of domestic discord. By his own example as well as by precept he has shown that he prefers to live by his own labor and not on the labor of slaves. He advocates the procurement of foreign territory suitable to-the ready and cheap colonization of free blacks. The policy already broached in some States, of selling again into slavery the free blacks whom humane or grateful masters have emancipated, unless these freed persons leave the State, is in the highest degree cruel. It is barbarous, and it would disgrace the Amer ican people in the face of Christendom to per mit such policy to prevail. A Counter Proposition. A late number of the Richmond, Virginia, Whig contained an advertisement offering a reward of $10,000 for the safe delivery of Joshua R. Giddings at Richmond, or $5,000 for his head, the adver tiser proposing to be one of a hundred to make up the amount. Some waggish chap to be even with the enthusiastic Virginian, oners through the columns of a northern paper, "to be one of seventeen (John Brown's number of " white men,) to take Richmond, and destroy it, root and branch, if one hair of the head of this aged man, rj. R. Giddings,) is harmed." People's Stat. Convention. Levi Kline, Esq., Chairman of theeople,s State Execu' five Committee, has issue acalj lor a g. - x IT W Convention to meet ai uarnsu on Wednes day, February 22d, 18C0, "to- "nute their choice for the next Presidency, nou. & candidate for Governor, form an fclecto Ticket, appoint Senatorial, and to designate the time and mode of electing District dele gates to the National Convention." The United States Senate, at the approach ing session, will stand : Republicans 24, A mericans 2, Democrats 26, and 4 vacancies to fill. In the House there will be 113 Republi cans, 23 South Americans, 8 Anti-Lecompton Democrats, and 93 Administration Democrats. --. The petition of John Brown for a writ of er ror to the judgment rendered by the Circuit Court of Jefferson county, was presented to the Supreme Court of Appeals on Friday last. The court refused the writ of error, and the execution will therefore take place, as appoin ted, on th-2d of December. THE "IE.EEPEESSIBLE C05JTLICT." Much has been said lately of Mr. Seward's "irrepressible conflict," as if it were original, and he is getting the entire credit for a very harmless expression, particularly Avhen it is taken in connection with the stern and solemn avowal uttered in his Rochester speech "to guard against misapprehension," namely, that he did not expect that universal freedom would take place "otherwise than through the several States co-operating with the Federal Govern, menl, and all acting in strict coxformitt with their respective constitutions." So far as the origin of the phrase, "irrepressible con flict" is to be considered, we distinctly charge Mr. Seward with being a literary plagiarist, for the words are only a genteel paraphrase of THE LAST DECISIVE CONFLICT of Mr. Roger A. Pryor, who has recently been elected a "Dem ocratic" member of-Congress from Virginia, by a large majority, lie wrote April 26th, 1852, these words : "There must be a last battle between slavery and abolition. The struggle will end only with the destruction of one or other of the two hostile parties. Shall the South postpone the last de cisive conflict until defeat is inevitable The strength of the enemy is hourly increasing. Eveiy ship load of emigrants discharged in the streets of New York, augments the forces of abolition, and every decennial count of the population of the country, marks the rapid de cline of the South." So much for Mr. Seward's originality, and so much for a comparason between what a New Yorker may utter, challenged, and a Virginia Locofoco may proclaim, unchallenged ! Now let us listen a moment to the Hon. Ed ward Everett, who has not been supposed to be a very violent Abolition agitator at least not since he was a candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, nearly twenty years ago. Yet in his oration on the Inauguration of the Web ster Statue, he said : "lie Mr. Webster, not only confidently an ticipated what the lapse of seven years has wit nessed and is witnessing, that the newly acquired and the newly organized Territories of the Union would grow up into Free Stales .- but, in common with all or nearly all the statesmen of the last generation, he believed, thai free Labor would ultimately prevail throughout the Coun try. He thought he saw that, in the opera tion of the same causes which have produced this result in the Middle and Eastern States, it was visibly taking place in the States north of the cotton-growing region. He inclined to the opinion, that thus alto, under the influence of physical and economical causes, Free Labor would be found most productive, and would ihere- Jore be ultimately established." And a little further on, Mr. Everett says : "It is true that, interpreting the fundament al law the Constitution on this subject Sla very, a diversity of opinion between the two sections of the Union presents itself. Tins HAS EVER BEEN THE CASE, FIRST OR LAST, IN RELATION TO EVERY GREAT QUESTION WHICH HAS DIVIDED THE COUNTRY. Isn't it as cb-ar as mud that Mr. Roger A. Prior and Mr. Everett ought to be indicted as instigators of the late capture of Harper's Ferry by John Brown's fifteen white men and four negroes? We hope the locofoco papers will not fail to sound the alarm against these arch traitors, when they next play upon their "harp of a thousand strings," the tune of "Ir repressible Conflict .'" Come, gentlemen, the Union is positively in danger this time. Burglaries in Blair County. The ITolli- daysburg Register of the ltith Nov. says : On Saturday night last the house of II. L. Patterson, Esq., in Gaysport, was entered by some villian or villians, who picked the lock on his door, and who succeeded in carrying off a gold watch and chain worth some $150, a set of furs worth some $3-7, and perhaps some other articles. The family think that chloro forjn was used to prevent their awaking. On the same night Mr. S. Doboyne's house was entered, and a revolver and some other arti cles taken therefrom. Senator Cresswell's was also entered, and an overcoat stolen. On Sunday night Wm. F. M'Farland's house was entered, and his own and his wifes clothing taken from their sleeping apartment, and the pockets rifled of a small amount of cash. The same night the Catholic parsonage was entered and two Latin books stolen. Hunter, the son of the Attorney General who is conducting the trials at Charleston,Va., testified that he was one of several who rushed into the inn at Harper's Ferry and seized, dragged out and shot one Thompson, who was confined there as a prisoner. lie states that Miss Fulke, the sister of the innkeeper, in her compassion for the prisoner, threw herself be tween him and the muzzles of their guns, and holding him fast in her arms, continually made her own head his shield against their loaded rifles. She had never seen the man before ; but, like the true woman, protected the unfor tunate. He was torn from her by force, thrown down stairs and shot through the head. A correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, writing from Bamberg, under date of Novem ber 10, says : "An Abolitionist, who calls him self T. A. Salvo, was taken to day at Bamberg, on complaint of the inhabitants of the vicinity thereof, for having indulged in abusive re marks against the institution of slavery. He had his hair shaved from one side of his head; he then received a coat of tar and feathers; was then rode on a rail beyond the limits of the 'Q'age, and turned loose, after having re ceived a lecture, that all the efforts of the Ab olition party to undermine the institution of slavery would prove unavailing, &c." Decidedly Ancient. Speaking of old folks several of the papers have of late been giving lists of the most aged men in the country. We think we know a case that will turn them all down. There is an old colored woman in Co lumbia, Ala., who, on being asked her age, stated that she did not know how old she was but she cooked for the h anda that duo- tho Chatahooche river.

He left an estate which is variously estimated at from $700,000 to 1,000,000, all accumulated in sixteen years from a small investment in sugar planting. SUMMARY OF NEWS. More Excitement in Virginia. On the night of the l7tu instant, a tremendous excite ment prevailed at Charlestown, Alexandria, and Richmond, all based upon a rumor that an attempt-was to be made to rescue Old John Brown. Governor Wise was called upon for troops, and they were mustered as speedily as possible. Some were to hold themselves in readiness to start at a moment's noticfe ; while others, with field-pieces, were to be forwarded by the first express train. By later advices from Harper's Ferry, it appears that all the excitement there, which spread throughout the State, and into Maryland and Washington, originated in the taking fire and burning of a wheat-stack ! The wildest terror was caused ; and at least one thousand men were put under arms. But not a single enemy incendiary, insurrectionist, or traitor was -to be found anywhete, though a pretty thorough search was instituted. Therefore, no battle ensued, and the guard about the armory "paced their lonely rounds" undisturbed. Two thousand pounds of powder and Minie cartridge-balls were dispatched from Washington to the scene of the burning wheat-stack. But the fire was extingushed before they reached their destina tion. The alarm was given by Colonel Davis, who has command of the standing army of oc cupation at Harper's Ferry, and the citizens, learning its origin, turned the invectives which they had poured out upon "Abolition incen diarism," upon the redoubtable Colonel. They think he made the Old Dominion appear more ridiculous than ever in the eyes of. the world. They are both ashamed of him and themselves. The Johnstown, Pa., Tribune, of the 18th inst., has an account of an elopement affair which is causing some excitement iu that part of Cambria county. It appears that on the 5th of Oct., Adam Kemerer, constable in Mill ville borough, left home ostensibly for the purpose of arresting a man in Blair county. On the same day, the wife of Geo. Beam, of Yoder township, left her home to visit, as she said, her mother in Freeport, Armstrong coun ty. The protracted absence of both, led to inquiry, when it was ascertained that Kemerer had no warrant as he alleged, and as nothing has been heard of either since they left, and as suspicions of improper intimacy between the parties had previously existed, it is be lieved they have gone together to California. Kemerer was also collector of State and Coun ty taxes for Millville, and took away with him some $G0O of the public funds. His bail have seized as security his house and lot in the place named. Kemerer leaves a i ife and three children ; Mrs. Beams had two children. An Arkansas paper publishes a thrilling narrative of an Englishman's adventures in the gold regions of Kansas. Mr. Pope went to Pike's Peak, and he and his companions roam ed about all winter, through the mountains and on the head of the Platte. For twelve months they had nothing to cat but fresh meat, with out salt or pepper. One night they found a cave, into which they crawled, and found the bodies of six persons who had frozen to death. They found great quantities ol gold, but had scarcely any tools, and made but about twen-tj'-five dollars per month each. Mr. Pope in tends to return to the gold region. A terrible accident occurred on the Indiana Central Railroad on Friday the 18th, near Cambridge City. It appears that a rail on the track running over a bridge had been taken up for repairs, and before it could be replaced a train of eighteen cars, filled with hogs, came along at high speed. The engine and thirteen cars plunged through the bridge into the river. The conductor, brakeman, and a drover were killed, and several firemen were injured. O ver five hundred hogs were killed. The cars were literally smashed to pieces. The Prairie du Chien (Wisconsin) Leader states that two young ladies, Miss Haskell and Miss Pool, when walking in the vicinity of Fancy Creek, Richland county, were pursued by two bears, one of which struck Miss Pool with his paw, tearing her breast to the bone, and causing her death in a few hours. Miss Haskell escaped with a few scratches. The bears were killed soon after. General Bower died very suddenly at Ilum melstown, Pa.,'on the Cth. It appears that he hal a very large wart on one of his hands, and was induced by some to cut it out, and apply arsenic to destroy the roots. He applied tho poison on Monday, after having cut out the wart. The cut being very deep, the poison communicated with the leading arteries, and he was destroyed by it. Hon. Alexander Hunter, of Virginia, profes ses to be convinced that an attempt will be made to secure the prisoners at Charlestown. It is said, that a letter from Urbana, Ohio, ad dressed to Brown, written in cyphers, which has been decyphered, tells him to keep in goods spirits that his friends are mustering, and will drop along one at a time. A dispaich has been received in Washing to City from General Twiggs, to the efTect that Brownsville, Texas, has been laid in ash es by Cortinas, and one hundred of the in habitants massacred. The statement, howev er, is discredited at Washington. It is reported, that the barns, stock yard and implements, amounting in value to several thousand dollars, belonging to Messrs. John Burns, Geo. II. Tate, and Sberley, all of whom were jurors in the recent trial at Charlestown, Virginia, have been burned. Mr. Baily, the proprietor of The Free South newspaper office, which was recently destroy ed by a mob at Newport.

Great excitement prevails in Reedsville and vicinity in consequence of the recent "burning of several buildings, which was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. We noticed the destruction of two barns on tho night of the 8th, the property of Mr. Reed. On lhe night following, at about 10 o'clock,the large barn on the farm lately owned bv Sheriff Williams, was also burued, involv ing a loss of $1200 to S1500 to John Kline and Wm. Shimp, who jointly owned the grain. &c, in it. During Thursday, the citizens, much alarmed, canvassed the whole matter, but were unable to obtain any clue of the per petrators. On Thursday night, nearly every out building in the town was placed under surveillance, anda patrol established, lhe night passed away without alarm until about 5 o'clock on Friday morning, when supposing all danger to be over, Joseph Reed and II. Norris, who had been watching the buildings in the rear of the machine shops near Brother's Hotel, returned to their homes. In a very short time thereafter, the flames burst from a stable in the rear of that shop, and soon re duced the building to ashes, the citizens being able to do nothing but prevent the spread of the fire. The excitement was raised to a very high pitch by this last act, as it is evident that the incendiary is in the town. The alarm extends for miles around Reedsville, the far mers turning their stock out and keeping watch every night. No other source being available, a reward of a 1,000 has been offer ed for the discovery of the villain who fired the four buildings. , Clinton County. A daring attempt was made on Monday evening the 14th, to rob the store of Mackey, Fredericks & Co., at Queens Run, by a gang who have for some time in fested that place. The attempt however prov ed unsuccessful to the robbers, for about 9 o'clock the Sheriff and his posse having had some intimation by one, who it appeared turn ed informant, made their way to the spot, and there awaited the boys' arrival, which was soon after midnight, when they proceeded to enter tho store. By some mishap, two of the party escaped in the darkness, though closely pur sued and fired at by some ol the Sheriff's party. One of the chaps has since been overtaken on the Mountain and brought to Lock Haven. A large party is still out in search of the other, and without much doubt he will be caught, and the whole band brought to speedy justice. They are doubtless the same fellows who en tered and robbed the Methodist parsonage, mentioned in our last, and who have commit ted several other burglaries at dinerent times. Indiana County. The squirrels are making considerable havoc on the corn thatisslanding in the fields, and in some sections, where the corn has been shocked along the fences, the rails are almost continually lined with tiiese lively, but almost famished little animals. . . .

The prospects of the North Western Railroad, from Blairsville to Freeport, are not very flattering just now, those who own it not being able to proceed with its construction themselves, and the con ditions they propose to the Pa.

Mr. Conrad Woolweaver, of White township, was jolted ofT a load ot com-fodier, which be was hauling into Indiana borough on the Ilth instant, and struck the ground with so much force as to break his collar boue. Bedford County. The wife of Dr. William Vickroy, of Buckstown, a few days since, started alone in a buggy to visit a neigMwr residing some disiance oil', and in descending a steep hill, unluckily a portion of the harness gave way, which frightened the horse so much that he became unmanageable, and his plun ges upset the buggy and precipitated Mrs. Vickroy ovtr a high embankment, fracturing one of her thighs in a terrible manner. In that condition she hobbled to the resilience of her brother-in-law, Mr. George Vick roy, a distance of over half a mile. In formation of the accident was immediately conveyed to the doctor, who was with his wife in double-quick time. Mrs. V. is now doing well. Westmoreland County. On the night of the 12th injjt., a hoise belonging to Mr. Eli KiehI,of Ilempfield township, was stolen out of Mr. Peter Uber's stable, and had not been heard of at last accounts. . . . On the 8th, Mr. James Geiger, of Derry township, died from mortification of the leg, caused by a scratch received a couple weeks before, and to which he paid no attention at the time. . . .

Condit, of New Vernon township, on tho evening ol the 12th inst., was returning home, with another per son, in a wagon, to which a yoke of oxen were attached, and when near the house, the bolt fastening the yoke to the tongue came out, and the oxen thus being unable to hold the wagon back, Mr. C. endeavored to get oat in front and tho other person at the hind end of the wagon., when by some mean3 unknown. Mr. C. fell between the wagon bed and wheel re ceiving such injuries about his head and neck as to cause almost instant death. Jefferson County. On Sunday night,Nov. 13th, the house ot Charles Horn, some three miles up the North Fork, was destroyed by fire, together with grain, clothing, furniture ard everything therein. The fire originated from a stove pipe through the roof, and the inmates had only time to escape with their lives. . . .

A sub scription has been raised for the distressed family. Scorbutic diseases are the parent stock from which arises a large proportion of the fatal maladies that afflict mankind. They are as it were a specie of potatoe rot in the human constitution, which undermines and corrupts all the sources of its vitality and hastens its decay. They are the germ from which springs Consumption, Rheumatism, Heart Disease, Liver Complaints,and Eruptive Diseases which will be recognized as among those most fatal and destructive to the races of men. So dreadful are its consequences to human life, that it is hardly possible to over estimate the importance of an actual, reliable remedy, that can sweep out this Scrofulous contamination. We know then we shall proclaim welcome news to our readers, of one from such a quarter as will leave little doubt of its efficacy and still more welcome, w4ien we tell them that it sure ly does accomplish the end desired.

It is a fact that, at some period, every mem ber of the human family is subject to disease or disturbance of the bodily functions; but. with the aid of a good tonie aud the exercise of plain com mon sense, they may be able so to regulate the sj -tem as to secure permanent health. In order to ac complish thisdesired object, the true rourse topur sue is certainly that which will produce a natural state of things at the leat hazard of vital strength and life. For this purpose, Dr. Hostetter has In troduced to this country a preparation bearing hi name, which is not a new medicine, but one that has been tried for years, giving satisfaction to all who have used it. The Bitters operate powerfully upon the stomach, bowels, and Jiver, restoring theui to a healthy and vigorous action, and thus, by the simple process of strengthening nature, ena ble the system to triumph over disease. For the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Nausea, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, or Bilious complaints, arising from a morbid inaction of the Stomach 01 Bowels, prod ucingCramps. Dysentary,Cholic,CL-;-era Morbus, Ac, these Bitters have no equal. Diarrhoea dysentery or flux, so generally con tracted by new settlers, and caused principally b the change of water and diet, will be speedily reg ulated by a brief use of this preparation. Dyspep sia, a disease which is probably more prevalent, in all its various forms, than any other, and the cause of which may always bo attributed to de rangements of the digestive organs, can be cured without fail by using HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, as per directions on the bottle. For this disease every physician will recommend Bit ters of some kind ; then why not use an article known to be infallible ? All nations have their Bitters, as a preventive of disease and strengthen cr of the system iu general; and among them all there is uot to bo fjund a more healthy peoplo than the Germans, from whom this preparation em anated, bayed upon scientific experiments which have tended to prove the value of this great pre paration in the scale of medical science. Fever and A a it.. This trying and provoking disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on the bo dy of man, reducing him to a mere shadow in a short time, and rendering him physically and men tally useless, can be driven from the body by the use of HOSTETTER'S RENOWNED BITTER'S. Further, none of the above-stated diseases can bo contracted, even in exposed situations, if the Bit ters are used as per directions. And as they nei ther create nausea nor offend the palate, and ren der unnecessary any change of diet or interrup tion of ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep and healty digestiou, and the complaint is remo ved as speedily as is consistent with the produc tion of a thorough and permanent cure. For Persons in Advanced Years, who are suffer ing from an enfeebled consifution and infirm body, these Bitters are invaluable as a restorative of strength and vigor, and need only be tried to be appreciated. And to amotherwhile nursingthesa Bitters are indispensable, especially where the mo ther's nourishment is inadequate to the demands of the child, consequently her strength must yield, and here it is where a good tonic, such as Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters, is needed to impart tempo rary strength and vigor to tho system. Ladie should by all means try this remedy for all ca ses of debility, and, before .0 doing, should ask their physician, who, if he is acquainted with tb virtue of tha Stomach Bitters, will recommend their use in all cases of weakness. Caution. Wo caution the public- agairat using any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask for Hostetter s Celebrated Stomach Bitters, and see that each bottle has the words '-Dr. J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters"' blown on the side of the bottle, and stamped on the metallic capcovcring the cork, and observe that our autograph signature is en the label.
