Harrisburg. Feb. 13, 1556.
Bowman need not try to deny that he vil- i
ified and abused the Methodist and Luthe
ran congregations and clergy, at the late
Locofoco meeting, for he did, as many
members of these clrurehee who were pres
ent will testify; and in bis paper of week
before last ho has commenced on the Pres
byterian clergy. Indeed, Locofoco leaders
just at this time, while they arc trying to
secure all the Catholic vote, seem to think
they can't co too far in their abuse of nil
They will secure the pa
pist vote which they arc, after; but may
they not lose the Protestant, by this course?
It is a poor rule that won't work both ways.'
SQUANDERING :
XP~Our friend of tho ( •ar.ettf, seems to
forget that during tho adjournment of tho
Legislature,from the 15tb to tho 20th of last
month, there were a few members of both
Houses who remained in Harrisburg: and
that during that time the Senate and House
were warmed and lit up at the same expense
as if al* wpre there, and that a number of
subordinates are there, and paid in every
respect as if Loth houses were in full ope
ration. Of course this iitile expense, in
curred by tic: present cor rapt Locofoco Le
gislature, is nothing to the people. A few
thousands equi - d?red is right, ain't it,
friend Bowman, when it is Locnfocoism
that does it!
Head the Bowr House Report. We un
derstand that an near as the present I'ireet
ors can aaoeriaiu, the Loeofocoe have run
that establishment fioui $5.(100 to SB,OOO
ia debt! It Won't take long for l,ocofoco
letiMrlien they get their fngcrs in anything,
ta sink it, We eerily believe, that if they
bad continued in power there a ennple of
\cars longer, the property would bare been
sold by tkc Sheriff. Aa it is, the present
able Board wiM bare to exercise the great
est care that tbi* eient may not yet take
place. Truly it was time for the people to
her! the hlood-fuelcers that fattened ort the
hard •rurn+ji taxce of the people of Bedford
rewrty, from the Poor House. The effects
of the profligacy and extravagance of that
partj will be felt there for years to aonje.

By our l ist advices from Harrisburg, wo
learn that the Locofocos have not vet re

I
i Ma. Editor—The House has at last passed
i the Liquor Law, and returned it to the Senate
: with sundry amendments. The Senate uruin
' imously refused to concnr in the House amend
j merits, and the matters in controversy are
j now in the hands of aC otnmiltee of Confer
ence, composed of Messrs. BKOWNE, Wiien
! EY and JOBIUK ef the Senate, and M users.
WK:(IUT (of Lnxerne, GETS and HCKSECKER of
i the House. The rseutt is looked upon as
i very uncertain. a d I would not be at all si.r-
I prised to find the Committeennable to a (tree,
land the bill in this event would of course
j fall. But we must wait, and see.
The Legislature has not yet, I balieve, pass
j ed one public bill this sess on.
I regret to inform yox that the Democracy
is fast becoming damn mimed. The old party
i bobby of hostility to corporations his been
, ridden nearly to death; and the country has
good reason to be glad of it. Sensible men
| are beginning to look at things as they are ,
aid to vote as the public interests demands,
■ rather than through partisan spectacles, or po
j htical crec 1 . To be sure this cannot be said
j of alt, but it is well that it may truthfully he
! said of many. The democracy of th J Sen -
. an-, has been completely broken down on the
passage of several bitls in relation to rail
roads. and other corporations; and the now
i obsolete dogmas of the party on this subject
' hare been thrown to the dogs, where the wel
. Tor* of the State demanded they should have
j been thrown, long ago. Even on the subject
! of banks, they har c become wonderfully soft
sued down, if not sompWtely demoralized.—
; There is now danger they will run into th
opposite extreme, and pass more bank bills
( j than au body else, and more than the Oovcr
i nor will sign. Would it not present a stiange
; spectacle if the present Governor should be
1 ! loond ere long v.-toiog bank bills passed by
i the present democratic Legislature? Strang
rj er things have happened. The democratic
i Senate has already passed bills incorporating
no less than four new banks, and two of (hum
by. about tun majority; and the indications are
that numerous others will be passed ere long,
i By the way too, I see the Legislature of Vir
-1 ! ginia, strong'}' democratic in both branches,
has recently passed a law increasing the baak
[ j ing capital of thai Ctate three millions tiphl
hundred tkiinsaud Hollars Only think of this,
| —and from Old Virginia, too! What has be.
' j come of the anti-hank democracy ? Shades
| of Jackson, what ?
In the absence of any important legislative
news, I will aliurle to another Harrisburg item.
! The town seems fast advancing to city liabita.
i , A new building has recently been erected, in
. r. eligible part of the town, called ••Browit's
, ' Hotel," and u company of theatric-da are
I holding forth tn it every night, Sundays ex
cepted, to crowded houses. I air informed,
' • the attendance is large, and the performances
; cswl'tabk- in tbat department.
There is also an association iu town called I
"The Young Me n's Christian Association."— ■
As part of their operations, the}' procur- i
ed the delivery of a very able and inter
esting coarse of hectares during the winter,
and which is now almost completed. They
haTe been well attended, and highly instruc
tive. The lecturers so far have been Governor
POLLOCK, Dr. SCHAVF of Franklin, Marshall
College, Dr. WHITTLE ol Boston, Dr. LOUD
of Philadelphia, and the celebrated temper
ance lecturer, JOHN B. GUCCH. They all
seemed happy in their selection of subjects;
\ and acquitted themselves with much credit.—
i The latter however, 1 consider one of the
! moat remarkable men ol the age. I bad of
j ten heard of the eloquence and power of
| Gough as u lecturer on temperance, but no
man who has nevr heard him knows how to
i appreciate hiin. His voice is all that Deroos
; thenes could have asked; anJ he is, so far us
my observation reaches, unapproachable in
1 both oomedy mid tragedy. He seems to enter
into his subject with his whole heart and mind;
i and from the commencement to the e.onclu
| siou of his lecture, he rivets the undivided
i attention of his hearers as if lie had some
: power of fascination more than human. I
. condidly confess I never had any adequate
conception of the power of man as an orator
; until I heard John B. Gough.
Yours, &c., SPECTATOR.

Meeliug of fouiity Council.
The County Council met in Bedford on
; Friday last. The number in attendance
i was large, and the greatest enthusiasm
! prevailed. The nomination of Fillmore and
Donelson was cordially responded to, and
the Council adjourned, in the best possible
manner. From the feeling existing, we
would not be surprised if Bedford County
will roll up a majority of from 500 to 800
next fall.
The following are the Resolutions adopt
ed by the County Council.
Resolved, That this Council endorses,
with sincere pleasure, the nomination, late
ly made by the American National Conven
tion at Philadelphia, of Millard Fillmore
for President, and of Andrew Jackson Pon
ehon for Vice President, of the United
States.
Resolved , That the uncertain and threat
ening condition of our public affairs imper
atively demands a change in the National
Administration, which should now, more
than ever be controlled by a President of
tried eiitegritv and firmness.
Rctolvd, That to Millard Fillmore we
can proudly point, and say behold the man!
weighed in the balance by his country here
tofore, and never found wanting! -'the man
for the times."
Resolved , That, in A. J. Donelson, a
nephew of Gen. Jackson, high in his confi
dence while living, and the heir to his prin
ciples when dead, wo recognize a democrat
of a purer soiiool than that, now existing and
one who cannot fail to rally around him ail
who yet cherish the memory, firmness and
patriotism of the departed Hero.
Resolved, That we cordially invite all.
who arc tired of govermeotal imbecility and
vacillation, to unite with tis in our endeav
ours to secure the election of our patriotic
leaders, Fillmore and Djtielsoir
Resolved, That these resolutions be pjnb
lished in the American pupers of the dis
trict.
Tur. PROSPHCT IN VIRGINIA. —The Rich
mond (Vn.) National American thus refers
to the prospects of the American party, its
nominees and principles, in Virginia:
From every quarter of our Common
wraith, the hearty response has already come
which proclaims that all are eager for the
contest, and arc unfurling the flag inscribed
with the names of oar chosen candidates.
Aye, the voice of the people, awake to
the importance of the approaching strug
gle, and determined to meet the issue as
becomes patriots and freemen, greets us on
every hand.
TLut mice sounds as the prophet's word,
Aud in its swelling tones are heard,
Tho thanks of millions vet to be !
What will we do? Why we will organize
in every comity, city, town and hamlet of
our proud olu Commonwealth. We will
plant onr banners upon the hill-tops, and
erect our altars in the shade of every green
tree convenient for purpose; we will
cry aloud and spare no', uutil we have
shown to tho people the transgressions of so
called Democracy, and the sins of the cor
rupt faction it has brought into power. We
will proclaim the patriotic principles and
purposes of .dmcricar.ism, and make them
shine forth with brightness, and its beauty
as a lamp that burnetii;" for our country's
sake will we not hold our peace, and fo r
Firgtnwt's sake we will not rest, nntil we
unite our voices in the sons of deliverance.
The pseudo Democracy that has ridden our
Commonwealth like a hideous night m*re
mrst be cast off forever, and she must en
ter under new auspices, iuto the friendly
contest for honor and power, with her sister
States, free from the tusty shackles which
have so long retarded her, and rejoicing "as
a strong man to run a race " We have
work before us, that enlists the sympathies
of "good men of all parties," and calcula
ted to excite enthusiasm in every patriotic
besom, and it is idle to ask what the Ameri
cans of Virginia will do?

BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE.
THE VOICE OF THE PRESS.
From the Fayeittrville [A. C.) Argus.
It is with sincere satisfaction that we
hoist the names ot Millard Fillmore, ot' New
Yoik, and Andrew Jackson Donelson, ot
Tennessee, as our candidates for the Presi
dency and Vice-Presidency for the term
commenc ing on the -Ith of March, ISSI.
From the Montgomery (Ala.) Journal.
It is with inexpressible satisfaction that
we have the pleasure to announce the nomi
nation of that pure man, true patriot, and
noble product of republican institutions—
Millard Fillmi^te —by the American Con
vention at Philadelphia.
From iht Alexandria Gazelte.
So Millard Fillmore, of New York, and
Andrew J. Donelson, of Tennessee, are the
candidates of the "American Order" for
President and \ ice-Poesident of the United
States.
When this was written we were without
the particulars of the circumstances attend
ing the a chievtuient of this gratifying re
sult, but we cannot refrain from congratu
lating our reader* and the country upon a
fact that sneaks at once of union, harmony,
nationalism and success.
From Iht Danville(Va.) Register
It is enough foi us to say. at present, that
wc proudly and cheeifully run up the flag
of Fillmore and Donelson to the mast head
and shall give them our zealous and cordial
support during the coming i-auipaign. To
the Whigs and Americans of the South
Side, we say, let us organize for the fight
uud do battle once more for the tried, hon
est national statesman, who has been ever
found truo to the Constitution and the
Union. "Once more unto the breach, dear
friends, once more"'
From the *lu%ustn (Ga.) Chronicle.
The nomination of Mr. Fillmore, we are
sure will meet a very cordial reception
throughout the South, among the American
party, and also with many who ure not mem
bers of the party. He has been "tried
in the balance and not found wanting;" and
the whole people of all parties have the
highest confidence in his integrity, and his
souud and national conservative principles.
Such a man they delight to honor, and wilj
mo"t cheerfully unite to place him at the
head of the government.
From the Hunterdon (AT. J.) Gazelle.
The Philadelphia Convention could not ,
in our juJgincnt, have selected candidates
more acceptable, not only to the American i
Party, as at present organized, but to the !
great fcody of those who prefer to retain j
the honored name of Wuio. Since th# !
afflictive dispensation of Providence which
unexpectedly called Millard Fillmore to oc- j
cupy the high position of President of the 1
Uuited States no uim, perhaps, in the Union j
has been so firmly entrenched in the groat
Americen heart, llis sound, practical coa- i
servalisui —his clear comprehensive, patri- j
otic views of National policy—hie apparent |
desire, while occuying Presidetial Chair, to !
administer equal and exact justice to every '
section of the Union—his well-known and !
acknowledged strict integrity and conscien
oiousness—have combined to give him a
bold upon the affections of the American :
people which but few men have possessed j
since the formation of the American Re- i
public. In thus proclaiming our prefer
ence, we believe tbit we reflect the views
of a very large majority of the people of
our adopted State, and of those of three
fourths of the States of the Uniuu. Wo
expect the bitter oppoitiou, not only of the
Loco Foco Party, but of sectionalists of I
"high aud low degree;" yet with Millard '
Fillinoreas staudard bearer, we expect to ,
triumphantly override the handed forces of !
fanaticism, north and south. We a.sk no '
pledges from oar candidate—his past caroer ,
shows him eminently worthy of the high j
honor which has been conferred upon him, !
and is guarantee sufficient, that if elected,
he will guide the Ship of State clear of the
shoals and quicksands which sometimesfceem
to threaten her destruction.

It is known to our readers that the lion. ;
Lewis D. Chamhcll, of Ohio, than whom ;
no man in Congress is more opposed to the j
I extension of American Slavery, made a j
; speech at the Fillmore and Donelson Rati
! fioation meeting in Washington City.— J
Among other things said by him on the oe- ;
casion, was the following, which we extract j
from the report of his speech:
"He said we could and would manage oar
own internal| affairs, to suit ourselves aLso,
without any of the proffered aid of John
Bull, Patrick O'Flathertv. or Hans Ber
gerskiterhopen either. We, like other peo
j pie, had our troubles in the camp, but that
I was nono of other people's businoßs. The
| trouble was about a colored geatlen.cn on
! the fuel, or in other words, a piggcr in the
wood pile. [Laughter.] On this matter
be fad lis own opinions, and sbonld con
-1 thme to think for himself But he thought
lie could retire to an ante-room now with
his fricad from Kentucky and his friend
from North Carolina, (Messrs. Crittecdeo
aitid Haughfor,) and though they were two
to one against him, tliey could fix that mat
ter up in ten minutes, if it wonid only stay
fixed. But the nigger business Was an
oatside issue. It lad no business in the
Americat party, and for his part, ho wished
to keep the getucn ob color out. [Laugh
ter and cheers.]
MEXICO.
Numerous communications from the land
of revolution* show a state affairs strango
and stormy even for Mexico. Fronuucla
ment oe* were abundant; Vei% Cruz on the
18th ultimo was bombarded by the Cns'le
of San Juan d' Ulloa; ?n the 19tfc an en
gagement p.ok place between the Castle and
the steam frigate, Ouenero. The Castle
then became the object of attack by the tor
tress of Santiago. The shots of the latter
were well aiiued and a magazine exploding
at the satire time with the attack, soon
brought it to terms. The result of the ex
plosion was, two men killed and sixteen
frightfully wounded.
It appears that a number of oonvicts in
the Castle of San Jiinn led oo by one Sal*
ecdo rushed upon the officers, overpowered
them, took possession of the guns end turn
ed thorn upon the city. We clip the follow
ing from a Vera Cruz letter; of Feb., 22nd>
to the N. Y Times:
At daylight, (13th) two shots wer* fired
over this citv to notify the Governor that the
castle had pronounced, snd an order was
son after sent to tlic city to surrender by
11 o'clock, threatening to bombard the place
if it did not join with theiu. The city did
not surrender and at 114 o'clock the castle
opeued fire in earnest. The forts on shore
returned the fire. The cannonade lasted
for about thiec-qwarters of an hour, during
which time considerable damage was done
to building". The only person wounded
that 1 have heard of, was a waiter in the
hotel 1 aiu stopping at. The first shot fired
from the castle passed through a thick wall
of brick, across the dining room, breaking
in its way the legs off the thr chair occupied
by Col. Pickest, U. S Consul at this port,
and the leg of one of the waiters. The
ball is to be forwarded to the East by the
Mexican express, as a trophy of this evcut
ful day.
This attuct was a temporary and local re
volt of a small band of desperadoesf but in
I'ucbla, llaroy Tauiarii has fortified him
self aud made that place tbo stroDghold of
his armed opposition to Comonfort. From
the mas* of contradictory information whioh
wc have read on Mexican affairs, we have
been able to gutbar tiiia which we believe to
l>c true, vis: that Comonfort desires to do
his best to regenerate the country; to build
up its trade ; encourage manufactures and
to give stability to and inspire respect in its
laws. The majority of the people arc de
sirous that he may sacteed, bat the dema
gogues are determined to defeat his benevo
lent designs, end with gangs of robbers from
the inonntain# keep the country continually
in a state of cottfusiou.
To return again to tho affair at Castle
San Juan: it appears that after the attack
upon the city a revolt sprung up among the
convicts themselves in which the more
peaceably inclined overcame and made
prisoner of Salcedn, hoisted ihe white flag
and submitted to the Governor of Vera
Crtu. The 23d ultimo had had been s"t
apart for the execut ion of the ringleaders.
THE VOICE OF GEORGIA
[From the Milltdgevillt [Go.) Recorder.]
Mr Fillmore's nomination has beon every
where received with uumistakab'e manifes
tations of popular favor. Though presented
as the candidate of the American party —a
party composed of sound nod patriotic
Whigs and JDemocrate—the moderate,
thinking ..atioual men of the country, who
dseire to witness the vssation of sectional
agitation and strife, wll gladly unite in
once more derating to the Executive Chair
one who, in an eminent degree, inspired
oonGUcnce at homo and commanded admi
ration abroad.
Though nominally the candidate of a
party Mr. Fillmore belongs really to the
people , and will be, virtually the candidate
of the people, as he was once actually , the
President of the whole people-, who knew no
North no South.
Tim Convention which nominated him,
very properly deemed it unnecessary t°
place him upon auy other platform than his
well knewn and well PRACTICED antecedents
Platforms now-a-days are dead-falls to the
great tnen of the country and fly-traps of
small trading politicians. The noble and
national stand taken by Mr. FiUmore in
tho alarming crisis of 1850 and 'sl—bis
stern and unwavering adheranno to the Con
stitution, and his bold enforcement of the
laws under the constitution—his wise and
conservative domestic and foreign policy,
are the best guarentees of his future con
duct. The people of this State have 6ceu
him, beard him, taken him by the band,
and a nobler specimcu of a frank and true
hearted and pure hearted states
man and patriot tbey bare never kuowu.
They will delight to honor him.
Of Mr. Donelson we shall speak hereaf
ter. it is not necessary to say that wo be
lieve tho nomination of these two worthy
and distinguished gentlemen ahould bo
| promptly ratified by the American party of
| Gooigia, as we doubt not it will be by a n
| majority of the American people every
! where.
'll will be seen tk.it the National Amer
ican Convention has nominated Mr. Fill
more for President by a large majority,
and A.J. DoncUoa, of Tennessee, an old
line Democrat, for Vice-President. Mr.
Fillmore is now in Earope, and it remains
to be seen whetlier he will accept the nom
ination, and if so. upon what grounds,—
For the present wc need ooly say, he is
entirely acceptable to us, baring already
proved himself to be tree to tfce South and
to the whole coaotry. But raore aaoo." —
Savannah Republican.
The noniinathnj of Mr. FiHmore, we are
sure, will meet a very cordinl reception
throghout the Sooth, among the Ameri<.*an
party, and alto with many who are not mem
bers of the party, lie has been "tried in
the balance and not found wanting," and
the whole poople of ail parties have the
highest confidence in his integrity, and bi s
sound national and conservative principles.
Such a tuan they delight to honor, and will
most cheerfully unite to place him at the
head of the Government.
Mr. Ponclsou ha* been a less prominent
actor on the politiual stage, and is, there
fore, less known to the mas*es. To South
ern men it is quite sufficient to kno N that
he is one of them, was the near relative of
"Old Hickory," and enjoyed throughout
his eventful life his highest confidence. —
The ticket is a good, sound, national one,
and wc shall support it most '•ordiaily aud
zealously.— Chronicle 6f Sentinel.
The Sumter Republican in announcing the
nomination of Fillmore and Donelson, says
it's a good ticket.
"We are glad that the recent Convention
has given some evidence, in the nomination
of Mr. Fillmore of a willingness to place
their banner in the hands of a well knowu
well tried and well approved public servant.
In the high position which his friends desire
again to elevate him, he gave proof of abil
ity, integrity and a sound national spirit
which commanded alike admiration of
friends and the respect of the whole Amer
ican people. lie knew in his administra
tion, no sectional division of Lis country,
pandered to the prejudice of no contempti
ble sectional division of parties; but stand
ing by the constitution, nnd sustained by
the laws, he governed the country and tho
whole great country as one united confed
erated republic. His foreigu and domestic
policy alike secured peace prosperity, and
respect, at borne and abroad. All of this
is well known to the millions of American
citizens before whom this nomination is
placed. But we are rather unintentionally
doing what wc promised not to do uutil
we know whether or not Mr. Fillmore would
accept the proffered honor.
With the public life of Mr. Donelson the

MILLARD FILLMORE. —The eloquent edi
tor of the Princeton Kentu/kiau, in spetk
iug of this great and honest statesman,
makes these juat remarks:
'Millard Fillmore is to day the star to
wards whose cheering light thousands of eys
are turning for deliverance from our present
troubles. Ha is a statesmen of high in
tellect and firm resolve—a patriot pure slid,
incorruptible. We have tried liirn in the
time of danger, and he has proved himself
worthy of his trust. Like the heroes of
Bueua Vista, 'he was baptised in fire and
blood, and came out steel.' llis patriotism
is hounded by no Mason and l>izon line
it is as broad as the prairies and forest, the
lakes and rivers of our continent: com
prehending all iu common brotherhood.'
tL?""Tlic statement made at Philadelphia,
that Mr. Fillmore was not a member of the
Order, was contradicted by the President of
Council 177 of Buffalo, \ork, who
gave the assurance that he himself was
present when the obligation of each of the
degiees was administered to Mr. Fidmof,
and that he is a member of the Order tu
good standing.
It is s'nted that a box has lately been

of letters of Napoleon I M all of tbem auto

left Uridine and entered the military school-
These letters were addressed to his grand
uncle, the archdeacon Louis, and to his
mother. They were all signed Napoleon di
lionj parte. The proprietor is going to Par
is to offor to sell them to the French gov
ormucnt.

vass lost spring in Virginia Mr. Wise
the present Uovomorof the State, declared
from the stump, before thousands ot V ir
ginia voters of all parties, that the admin
istration of Millard Fillmore was "IfasA
inglci-like." These were his very words.
