Editor ; —Suloiuou says, (l'rov. 20: 4, 5) "Answer not a fool according to bis folly," fee. And again, be says, '"Answer a fool according to bis folly, lest lie be wise in bis own conceit." The impudence, talschood, and pander ing to Popery put forth in the Bedford Ga zette of Feb. 22d, by its editor and pro prietor, should be noticed and remembered by every American freeman All those who arc opfosed to the political ascendancy of the Pope in this country, including many of our wisest and best statesman our ablest editors, most pious and useful divines, are most shamefully assailed with the most opprobrious epithets, sueb as '•wolves in sheep's clothing,'* and are ac cused of taking the lives, indirectly, of poor innocent women and helpless children! Who are these "dark lantern" gentry, ' midnight couspit iters," o atli bound hand of "traitors," "wolves," robbers and mur tmirderer.s? Well they arc admitted to he native horn American citizens, freemen dyed in the wool. And who are the poor innocent victims, the persons who are per secuted "to the bitter end?" Well, they are foreigners who have little or no sym pathy for American institutions; the most of them are Irish Catholics, and some of them convicts and paupers from the crowd ed prisons of "auid Country." What is this Bowman! Is lie a foreigner, an Amer ican, or a national hermaphrodite? The man himself is a living example and it is pa per and press a monument of American tol erance and charity; for if the American citizens of Bedford were possessed with one hundredth part of the evil spirit which he attributes to them, they would have dealt with him as his Alnstir's tools generally deal with Protestants wherever they have the power. ''an it he possible that such a ntatt can exert an influence over the American free men of Bedford county. Is there a Meth odist, a f,nth wan or a Presbyterian so blind" ed by polities as not to see the cloven foot. How can they as freemen and as Protest ants thus hear their brethren abused, vi!li fied and sunk to the lowest bell bv this po litical babblet, while be extols all foreign ers and papists in particular to the very heavens, and wonhl have them enjoy more privileges here than our own native born children. This papal fool lies in tlie very beginning of his article, when lie asserts that Anicri- j cans are bound tngc'hor by an oath to per- ! senile (.'atholics. \*e. To persecute is to ' act offensively : to harass, vex. or injure ; one on account of his religion. Now who ' was the offending party, Romanists or A tnericans? Who publicly burned our bi bles of. which onr civil and religion? insti tutions are founded? Whr endeavored to destroy our glorious free school system?— Who entered into the political arena and ; began to grapple for Ilome and the asccn- ; daticy? Who would stand at the polls anil ! brow beat and bully native American citi- j zens out of their votes? Who broke up the ! American meetings ir. New York nnd Phil- ! adelphia? Is it a wonder that American citizens would assemble together, and again i pledge their word and sacred honor, as I their fathers of '7O had done, to defend j themselves, their homes and their liberty ' j I regret it, Americans have and are still I acting mi the defensive. How in the name of common sense then could they he engaged ! in persecuting these poor holy lovely inno- 1 cent subjects of the I'opo of lloiue? No i sir, they were becoming the persecuted par ty: when foieigti strangers would come in, and endeavor to destroy their bible, their schools, ar.d their liberty. And in resisting this papal aggression, is it to be wondered at, that the Americans did occasionally | burn a church, or do sonic other act of vio : Icn-'O, of which our citizens as a general ' thing do not appovc? No; the great won- \ j tier is that they were so patient, so forbear- , i ing, so charitable. Where is tho nation j that would have endured one tenth part of I the insult from foreigners which this has en 'dured? If American citizens in Italy had , attempted one half that Romanists have , in this country, the inquisition would bavo silenced aud crushed them. The wonder is that tho freemen of America did not rise up in a mass and drive these intruders and and their dough-faced allies from the coun try. This Jesuitical political truckler next sets up as preacher, quotes scripture of which ho seems to know the use, abo ut as much as a monkey does of a prayer book.— If those preachers and editors are "wolves iu sheep's clothing, this exhortation of the editor of the Gazette, is like the devil re proving rln. And his quotations from 'ho sacred word of God are not half so appro- BEDFORD, PA.. FRIDAY, MARCH 28,1856. | prialc as those of Safari's were when tempt ■ trtg our Lord in the wilderness. His crude notions seem to be those: that American citizens are bound to love every traitor con vict, thief, or murderer that may be land ed on our shores. That we arc bound to love all tbe paupers of Europe and every eutuiisary of Rome as brothers. Because it is very evident that all these aro included with the respectable foreigners who seek a home in this country. Now let us see how far American citizens have fulfilled the great law of ltve. But what is that law? Are we to love the off scourings of tho old world, just the same as we love all the decent and respectable emigrants'to this country' Are we to love our deadly enemies, these traitor and mur derers, as we love the respectable citizens of the Statu? No! we are tef love one with benevolence, lite other with komplacen ct/. One wc are not to hate , the other we are to love. Christ did not lovethe Scribes and Pharisees, but he did not We tbetu.-- Hc loved his disciples. Whilst in the very nature of the case we cannot lots our deadly foes, cannot approve of their course, we are not to wisli tlicni dead, not to bate them, Ac. Now have not Americans acted the part, and are they not now acting the part of good Samaritans towards all foreigners, and particularly the poor, ignorant, miserable paupers of the old country? Persecution ! ! Great God ! how could a man of sense ut ter such a falsehood! Are not foreigners permitted to cotue to our country, trade, buy and sell and get gain, and get rich us others? Is not this goodly land al! spread out before them, and do they not peaceably possess many of its broad acres? llavc tliev not built houses and lived in peace aud quietness with their # families? Arc not Roman Catholics periniited to worship God according to the dictates of their own priests and foreign potentates, no Ameri can hindering or wishing to iiindt'i them or disturb them in their worship? Arc we not paying heavy 'axes to keep up dtfr peniten tiaries, jails and alms-houses, tbe most of which have iu them more foreigners than native born citizens. Are we not feeding, clothing, and nursing thousands upon thou sands of these foreigners iu the institutions of our land? Is this persecution? Is this not fulfilling tbe great law of love? Shame on the political demagogue that would at tempt to abuse Americau citizens as his editor has done! Shame on tho Jesuit clothed in Protestant's garments, that he liitv more effectually assail Protestantism, and do the bidding of his master in New Y'ork and Rome! But the head and front of the offence is, that Americans do not wish to put these foreigners, strangers and subjects of a for eign despot, into office as soon as they land on our shores, to the exclusion of native born citizens, ot that they are not willing that tlioy should assist in corrupting the government by placing it in the bauds of the sham Democracy and tue drunken or whiskey party. Now, all cannot hold office. If any are to be. left out, who should it be? an Ameri can citizen or a foreigner? YYbo has tho best right, and who knows best how to ad minister tho laws of the country? Is it not strange that this pretended ad- j voeate of the peoples' right—this Demo- 1 crut' (save the mark') should become such a strong advocate of the Pope's tsub . • 1 jeets in this country. Suppose the Ameri can people should determine to govern the country themselves, and grant foreigners every other privilege in the country except that of voting until they had been in the country twenty-one years? Would not foreigners of all persuasions he 011 a level. How would Catholics be persecuted if that be persecution, any more than Lutherans German Reformed, Presbyterian*, <&e.— Again there is a laige class of citizeus in this country about whom this Democrat— , this advocate of the peoples' rights lias not ! a word to saw The negroes have been born i here, grown up without prejudices, many of thorn attached to their masters and the lib erties of our country. They have no votes but about these the gentleman has uothing to say, as it regards love, doing to others, &c. Oh uo! Who is the mest competent to rote, a well raised negro, or an ignorant Irish Papist? Oar sous too must be on the soil 21 yoars before they vote. Is that persecution? But euougb for the present.

ALEXANDER WEEDING. And for what did he weep? Common : report ays, "Because he had no more j worlds to conquer," This is a great mis take—two facts will show it most clear!v. History gives us no intimation of his having conquered the whole world—only that It; had subjected a great portion of it. Why, then, should we conclude that this great monarch wept because he had no more 1 worlds to conquer? Again, this anecdote translated from the Greek, reads thus: Alexander, listening to Anaxarchus" des cription of the iuimenee number of worlds, was induced to weep, and being irnjuired of by his friends why he wept, replied, "Is it not proper to weep when an infinite number of worlds exist and we are not yet masters of ONE?" We cannot imagine, for the life ofvs, how the common idea of this matter obtained its prevalence. We have fre rjucntly heard preachers, and good scholars too, use this anecdote, in its common sense, aud in its common acceptation, in illustra tion of souto important principle. But no such circumstance ever transpired, and the illustration is, of course, good for nothing unless we may be allowed to distort real occurrences or imagine such as will suit our puipose. In such cases, however, it would perhaps be as well to let the distort ed or imagined circumstance be known as such,.that the hearer or reader may not la" bor under the tulse impression that it is real. AiiectiOie ol' a Fat Man. "Bridget," said a lady in the city of Gr>_ thaui, one morning, as she was reconnoiter. iug in her kichen, to her servant, "what a quantity of greaso you have got there. We can get plenty of soap for it, and we must exchange it for some. Watch for Hie fiat man and when h° comes '• l^on e' 1 want to speak to him." •'Y'cs ma'am," says Bridget, between each whisk of her dishcloth, keeping a bright look out of the kitchen window, and no moving creature escaped her watchful gaze. At last her industry seemed to be rewarded, for down the street came a large portly gentleman flourishing a eatte, aud looking the picture of good humor. Sure that be was she tuan, when he was in front of the house out she flew and informed hiat that her mistress wished to speak to him. ' "Speak to no toy good girl!" asked the ■ gentleman. "Y*e>, sir wants to speak to you, and says would you be good enough to walk i ■ ' This request, so direct, was not to be re fused; so in a state of some wonderment up the steps went the gentleman, aud up .stairs went Bridget and knocking at her mistress door, put her head itt and exclaimed: "Fat gentleman's in the parlor ma'am. ° So saying, she iustuuily descended to the , lower regions. '•ln the parlor," thought the lady. What can it nioai). Bridget must Lave blunder : ed." But down to the parlor she went, and |up rose our fat friend with his blandest smile and most graceful bow. "You.- servant informed uie, tnarlatn, that you would like to speak to lite —at your ser vice, madam. The mortified mistress -aw the state of the ease, immediately, and a smile wreathed itself about her mouth in spite of herself* as she said; "Will you pardon the blunder of a raw Irish girl, toy dear sir? I told lior to rail in the fat man to take away the soap grease, when she made the mistake you see " The jolly fat gentlemen leaned back in his chair and laughed such a hearty laugh as never conies from ycur lean gentry. "Xo apologies uccdcd uiadam," said lie "it is decidedly the best joke of the season. Ila, ha, ha, so she took me for the soap grease man, did she? It will keep me laughing for months, such a go<>d joke !" And all up the street and around the eor. ner was heard the uierry laugh of the old gentleman as he brought down his cane every now ami then, and exclaimed, such a joke ! A REMARKABLE .Mrui'EltVEl.lL IX PENNSYLVANIA.—The Uunigaa murder trial in Westmoreland county, Pa., is one of the most remaikable that lias oc curred in this country since the celebrated Professor Webster and Parkuiuti case, .at Boston. Corrigan is an old man, of sonic sixty or seventy years of age. His wife disappeared on the 29th of .September last, aiid has nev er been heard from since, r our or five days after, some bones and part of a sVull ? declared by professional men to he those ot a human being were found bv some neighbors in a large fire which had been burning near Corrigati's residence in tho open field Corrigan had been observed stirring it at unusual hours. A smell cnu.e from the tiro like that of an animal carcass burning. A button similar to those worn upon a woman's night dress was found in the fire, and also one belonging to a man. Consid erable blood was found ill different parts of i Corrigau's house, although evident attempts ' has been to conec.,l it. Ail of the woman's dresses that she was known to have were found at bout*, in their usual place. This TOT.. Sfi. AT! 13 ! indicated that aUe had not goue away vol- I an rarity. A person posing Loose en the night she WHS lust soon, heard screams coming from that quarter. A sled, having | marks of blood, was found near tin house, I with tracks showing that, it had been eviden tly dragged iu the night time by a horse 1 near to the fire where the bones were found Corrignn and hi* wife, who lived alone, wrera known to quarrel. lie gives no satisfac tion of any of these circumstances, lie pretends that lie gave his wife money to go to Philadelphia with, and that the boue s found in the fire were old boues scraj*d up :TI rubbish which lie was burniug on his farm. Hut this is rendered improbable by the strong animal smell which came from the fire. After a trial of several days, and speech es both for and against the prisoner by able counsel, he was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hung - No body was ever found or identified as that of" his wife. The circumstances were such we have stated. The supposition of the jury was, front the evidence, that Uorrig&n had murdered his wife thou conveyed her body to the Son in which the boues were found, upon the sled that was lying near his residence. The circumstances seem to be strong in that di~ rection. The disposition the murderer made of the body is most horrible, almost as much so :;s Professor Webster, who, it. will be re. collected, cut up the body of his victim into pieces and then burnt tbem iu a grate in his room. But in that case I'arkman's body was identified, which was not the fact here in this trial, which has created great sensation in western Pennsylvania. The fiifjrfpf s Deaih.
