IBBUBWBI BEDFORD, Pa.~ Friday Morlnpr Dec . 1556. "Fearless and Free,'' DAVID OVER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR THE LATE ELECTION- The smoke of the late contest having pretty well cleared off, it may not be alto gether unprofitable to look at actual results: aot so mucn for the sake of what is past, as in view of the future. Mo have been de feated, but not conquered. The late elec tions havwonlv proclaimed wuat we have always urged, and still firmly believe, that the sham democracy is in a minority in this .State. When they succeed at all, it is not by reason of their principles, oor yet of their numbers, but solely because ot tbe di visions and want of harmony in the ranks of the opposition. In the great struggle tor President, justeaded, Buchanan is elect" but be is barely elected. His electoral vote is less than that of any candidate elected for many years,and he is* io SLU immense minor ity of tbe popular vote. Peonaylvania io the late contest, as heretofore, was the bat tle ground. Had it gone against Buchan an he would have been defeated, even tho' California should come in iD his favor, lie carried Pennsylvania by less than one thou sand majority over the opposition, and some say he has no majority at all, counting all opposing rotes. Thus it is manifest that in over four hundred thousand votes, a change of five hundred would have lost Pennsylva nia, and lost him his election by the people, and thrown it into the Honse of Represen tatives. Hence it is that the viewers feel as if they had barely escaped defeat; and that the vanquished are hopeful, and sangnin e that a better day is at hand. We have the principles, and we have the numbers to en sure success; and all we want is organization and union, and above all union. The late defeat, we aie satisfied, will, in vise end, be productive of good. It will couvince all who act with us that harmony and uuited efforts are indispensible to success; and whenever this conviction is once established, oar triumph is ccrtaiu. In the late elections Tire were not united as we ooglit to have been. We labored earnestly to bring about the desired harmo ny of views, and harmony of action, but only partially succeeded. It was impossi ble, by any course to please all; and yet some cenrsejbad to be taken, and some of oar friends did'not approve of our course- Under the circumstances, this could not be helped. After the State election, especi ally, was this the case. We considered it our duty to advocate the election of the Union American ticket, and some oine tentbs of the Ameiican party viewed the matter in the same light, and acted and vo ted accordingly. But the other tenth could not so sec it, and voted the straight Fillmore ticket, and in oar Opinion thus aided the election of Buchanan. Had the one-tenth agreed to go with the nine-tenths, and all cordially co-operated and worked together for the Union ticket in this State vte doubt not Buchanan would have been defeated; and Fillmore's chances of elec tion been good this day by the House of Representatives. Had this been done, as ki our judgment it ought to have been, we would not on the day of election wasted our strength upon our own men, but could have fought the common enemy, and given the State against Buchanan by not less than ten thousand majority. Our adversa ries in tbeir rejoicings acknowledge the ser vices rendered them by the straightout Fill more men, and in their gratitude invite them to participate in their feastings.— They thus "praise the bridge that carried them safe over;" but we exceedingly doubt whether this bridge can evet be used for any such purpose on any future occasion.— Bnt we thus refer to the past, only to de rive profitable lessons for the future. We say let :be perplexities and triors of tne post, by whomsoever committed, be forgiv en and forgotten. Next fall there is a Governor of the State to be elected. By a oordial union auicng ourselves in 1854) wc elected James Pollock by an immense majority. We verily believe we are strong er now than theD, in every element of sue cess, except harmony. Let us then labor to secure a cordial uuiou among ourselves and wc will be invincible. The character and administration of Governor Pollock are a credit to the Commonwealth, and arc wor thy tho endorsement and support of every good citicen. We trust bo will consent to toad us to victory again; bnt whether be or some other of our good men and true shall bo our standard bearer, we want to see a cordial uuion. and harmony of actios.— Without them we can do nothing, and with them we can do everything. Lot the his tory of the past make us wise for the future. Ei/j be municipal election in Indiana, poli*, on Saturday, the 22d inst., resulted in the success of the Republican candidate tor Mayor end City Clerk, by 200 majority. 1 The wihint excitement followed the an- | of the result, THAT OX ROAST. It was tio doubt very complimentary to our friends who voted the straightout Fill more ticket to receive a special invitation to attend the Buehanan ox roast. Large handbills were posted up inviting the "Dem ocrats, Old Line Whigs, and straight out Fillmore men." The poor Union Fillmore men were not invited. We endeavored to stand it, as well as we could. We suspect the- old line Wbtgs and straight out Fill more men did not attend either. We ima gine they would look upon an invitation from this quarter as at beat a very equivo cal compliment, and one which they no doubt can fully appreciate. One of these polite handbills we saw was written by An drew J. Suively, Esq., Associate Judge cleet, and was evidently prepared with great care. He spelled the word "straightout" thus : straitout. He only left out two let ters, the g and the b. The Gazette of last week compliments him on his superior quali fications for the office of judge. Of course, we do not like to dispute the word or en dorsement of the Gazette, but take it for granted that in his estimation good spelling is not a necessary part of judicial qualifica tions. Whether it is necessary that a man should be able to read and write at all, is not stated. We copy the following from the Somerset Herald , in reference to the Senator from this District. Mr. Jordan is oue of the ablest members cf the Senate of Pennsylva nia, and during the two sessions be has served in that capacity, has been one of the most laborious members, and au elo quent and leading debater. He would make a presiding officer of whom we might well be proud. From the Somerset Herald. SPEAKER OF THE SENATE. We observe tbat our friends in different portions of have a'roady a.f>s;d the question of who shall be Speaker of the Senate ilr>rui£ the approrching session, and "everil worthy gentlemen have been named in counection with tbe position. To the names already mentioned, we suggest that of the Senator from this district, Francis Jordan, Esq., of Bedford. During the two sessions he has already served, Mr. Jordan has earned for himself, independent of his admitted power as a ready debater, the rep utation of being one of the best business members of that body. Equitable "ic Lis temperament, courteous by nature, quick in his perceptions, prompt in action, Mr. Jordan OQ superior, in our estimation, u> taesq the main requisites of a good presi uing officer. His experience has made Lim perfectly familiar with the routine of busi ness and parlimentary usages; while his unimpeachable integrity, his correct person al deportmeut and unsullied moral oUarac ter, wilt lend dignity to, and adorn tbe Speaker's chair. SERGEANT AT ARMS.—We understand that the friends of John A. Hyssong, Esq > one of the proprietors of the Fulton Repub lican, and also publisher of the Jl&ercersburg Journal, will present his claims to the con sideraticfi of tbe Americans arid Republi* cans of the State Senate for the office of Sergeant at Arms. Mr. Hyssong is worthy the post, and would make, no doubt, a j-ood officer. Ii would afford us pleasure to an nounce his success to that station. Indiana has goue stronger pro-slavery than any other Northern State. There is no reason for disappointment. The white na tive citizens of In diaaa, over twenty vcars of age, who could not read and write in 1850, numbered 69,455 —greater than the number of the same class in any other State, North or South, except Virginia and North Carolina, and more than doable the number New York contained, with three times the population. Tbe vote of Indiana is thus accounted for. But the future pro mises well. The census from which we get the above facts, shows that at the same time, Indiana bid 220,951 children attcuding school, but a few hundred ieos than the number 9ent by Massachusetts, and fully in proportion with those sent by New York, Ohio, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont and other great Republican States. Tho risiug generation will redeem Indiana in due time. THE South may yet Split on the question of reviving the African slave trade, it we may judge from the indications at present. Those old States like Virginia, which netts $20,000,000 per annum by the sale of slaves bred within her limits (that once proud "Mother of States" being now only a "Slave- Breeder") will oppose, vigorously, the at tempt to bring cheaper stock from Africa; while South Carolina, which wants more negro-stock to supply the waste by the malaria of her dank rice swamps, and nil the new slave States, will go in heartily for the revival of the African trade. Per haps "Dahomey, Ashantee, and Congo'' may come into the contest on one side for "cheap slaves," against Virginia, Kentucky. Maryland, &c., with their high priced home product; and thcu what a pretty fight there will be ? Henry A. Wise against Quattle bunj MOST PROLtrio Vio!—An English pa per says : "Our gracious Queen is far advanced in a condition which promises, God aiding, to augment the royal family of England some where about tbo month of February." This means, in plain English, that the Queen is going to have another baby. (Otitis stated on good authority that Hon. LEWIS CASS has been tendered and accepted the post of Secretary of Stale under BUCHANAN'S"Administration BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE. For the Inquirer and Chronicle. Ox Roast in Sehellsbnrg. "And the people said, let there be rain and there reus rain 1" Indeed as. if it were so appointed, at the very time the Border Ruffians were about to appease their hungry stomachs with the bread and beef prepared for them, on Tuesday last—their fare being ; spread in an open field some distance from the town —the rain fell in such copious j quantities as nearly to wash out sll the vi j Lai it y in such visaged fellows as Bowman of the Gazette, and do a good service for a good many of the democracy from the nooks and corners of the country, whose ; outer persons at least had not experienced ! a sufficiency of water for some months.— But they were faithful. They came to eat and did eat while it lasted, though it were water-soaked bread and raw beef! In regard to this perfect fizzle, we will not have much to say in a description of it, as a demonstration of the Border Ruffians of this place, as they individually and col lectively, themselves, are heartily ashamed of the wiede affair ; but a few words in re gard to the spirit in which it was gotteu up, conducted, Ac. First, then, when these allies of Southern nigger drivers concluded to make a display and invite all tbe worren and children across this end of the county to it, through tbe cold and rain, they should have had muniy decency enough to give sufficient money to feed all they invited here, and not be subjected to the reproach of these sim ple and honest hearted couDtry folks, for letting them go home hungry. We know of a number of women who got nothing to eat, and heard of some tnec remarking tt.at they were invited here to partake of a feast pre pared for them, but when here, they were askeu tc give, (probably as much as any of the doughfaces iu Schellsburg gave) money to defray tbe expense of a half-spread ta ble. This is all certainly shameful, but in perfect keeping with Schellsburg Bor der Ruffians, in their connection with the whole affair. They are all so much ashamed of the matter, that it is impossible to get a man among them to acknowledge that he in any way enoouraged it. Who then got it up, and what were their objects ? Certain ly some of fhe worthies of the encour aged it. Our impression is, if the party in Schellsburg are jubilant over a political vic tory, entirely Southern, they had better been otherwise cugaged—a victory tbat no one in his senses pretends to claim as be ing brought about by a preponderance of northern feeling and sentiment: on the contrary, a victory brought about upon sen timoo* suiting jr C o!>ely the ultra utgger propagandists of the South, and a split in the north dividing the opposition. We say if the allies North are really jubilant over this victory, they are the most contemptible doughfaces that could disgrace northern soil. The truth must be that tbev are ashamed of tbe support given to their can didate iu the North, and know tbat except for a division in the North, of the fame sen timent on different candidates, they must have been defeated. From these consider ations it wouU appear hardly natural that these "doughies" are pleased at tbe result of the late election. We conolude, howev er, that office seekers are pleased, (of whom there are not a few in Schellsburg,) and oth er Border Ruffians got up this ox roast, the objects of both perhaps being selfish. It was more or less, to taunt the opposition. This is proven from the fact that tbey suf fered their invited guests to go home hun gry-, and spent fully as much :n time, labor and money, on their transparencies, as they did for bread. Look at the spirit that pre vailed. If is stated, by Dr. Mullio himself, whom they hired to fix up and paint part of tbrir transparancies, that he intended to charge them ten dollars, whereas, when they came to settle with him they put him off with five, thus virtually cheating the Dr. out of half bis hard earned money.— Fifteen dollar? would have been poor pay for the amount of labor the Dr. performed. It would be well to state, by tbe way, the reason Dr. Muiien, a good Fillmore man, was engaged io this business. It was per haps, because the Dr. is a genius in bis way, and tbe Ruffians wanted the part he per formed done up with taste. Three extra dollars were given to two young worthies, of the distinct Border Ruffian species, for some two or three weeks' services, that should have been expended for bread and beef. Of the appearance of these fellows in pro cession, with their torches, &0., we will have little to say, for it was decidedly the slim mest affair that ever presented itself in the rain, fog and a muddy street for exhibition. Some of the opposition tried hard to distin guish some caricatures, and although wo were close to them, it was impossible. We supposed one of the figures was intended to represent the editor of the Inquirer, but the pith of it we caDoot tell, for we defy mortal to tell or lead any lettering that might have been on them. A perfcot fail, ure, and well the few rowdies of the Bor der Ruffian kind, that were instrumental in getting it np, know it. It does not deaerv e a notioe on the spirit in which it was got ten up alone Gentlemen, yon failed of your object in any gratification to your own feeling. You failed, if it was to annoy the opposition, and we have hardly a doubt but that a few leading spirits, that were active in getting up this fizzle—a few of whom appeared to delight in the epithets of Black Republican, Ac,—men, some of them a mere compound of digested bread and beef, and rot-gut whiskey. You failed of your object. When you come out in the mud and rain again we will note it. Bnr remember, let you r incoruiug administration iu its policy lean toward the ultra nigger driving politi cians of the South, and yon will not .soon be out again. No other policy will satisfy them. Go on, now, and extead the area of nig gerism, and an awful retribution awaits you. Northern freemen will note you, aud pur sue yoa with teal, euergy and promptness MUSTANG. ~A BAD "TEMPER. It was recently suggsstea that the Gov ernors of the Southern States should follow the example of those of the Northern, and designate tbe 20th of November, as a day ot Tbauksgiving and Prayer. The South Carolina Times couimeuts upon the subject in this harsh spirit:— "The Governors of the States south of Maryland are all at home and competent to decide for themselves, when it will be prop er to fix upon a day to offer up thanks to the Almighty for past blessings. The movement on the part af Northern Execu tives is no criterion for Southern incn Wo are subject to law, common and divine, aud need "No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast, Nor hysop branch, nor sprinkling priest, Nor running brook, nor flood nor sea To wash a dismal stain asvay." It is meet and proper that the miserable, sin stricken, polluted aid ungodly popula tion of tbe North should beg pardon for their black sius recorded, committed against God, their country, and their fallow men. As a generation of vipers, they ought to be warned to flee the wratk to come: yet we believe that the waters of Jordan, Abacou arid Pbarphar would fail to wash them and Leal their leprosy, even though they were to dip seventy times seven. Tbcy have much to be forgiven, and wc would advise them to pray often and pray loud. Balti more, especmlly, ought to be covered with sackcloth aud ashes." Lans'tage like the foregoing, from one section to another, is in the worst possible taste. Our Southern contemporary should bo ashamed of himself. If his example were followed, bitterness and ill will would be engendered, and the union would not last a twelvemonth. Let ns hope, howev" er, that he speaks for himself alone, and that he misrepresents tbe views of his friends and neighbors. ELECTION FRAUDS. The stupendous frauds perpetrated at the late election, in this and other cities, seem to have satisfied ail tbat the American par ty is right in demanding a Registry Law, and there is, therefore, a general exclama tion from the honest men of all parties;— "We must have a Registry Law." It seems to be regarded a6 the sole panacea possible for the disorders of the times. It should also be made * peniteutiary offence for election officers, who refuse to admit Watchers, legally appointed by the Court. These, and many other provisions ought to be enacted and rigidly enforced. At the late State election, the motto of the wire-pullers of the Loco Foco party evidently was to ensure success, by fair means if possible, and by fraud if necessa ry. It is time now that the L->co Fuco lead ers should be made to understand that tkei r frauds will be submitted to no longer. Outrages upon the ballot-box have been tolerated long enough. They must be stop ped, or ere long every large oity in the Un ion will witness the inauguration of Vigil ance Committees. There is a length of forbearance beyond which you eannot make people go, whatever may be the theory of abstract law in regard to it, which may be adopted. We yield to none in our unquali fied condemnation of all violence, of all mob law, of whatever kind or description it may be. It is no new doctrine with us as our columns abundantly testify; and it is because we are energetically opposed te any trampling upon the laws that, we now again decidedly protest against any attempt to prostitute the ballot-box, by making it give a different verdict from what it would give if noDe but real, bona fide voters were allowed to deposit votes therein, conscious as we are that so long as frand is attempt, ed, so long will the masses rise in their ma jesty at last to put a stop to it.— Phila. News. THE WARWICK OF THE UNION. Tbe New York Tribune says: ♦'Pennsyl vania may be called tbe Warwick of tbe Republic; it has bad the honor of deciding, in several instances, tbe question of the Presidency, and no President, since the days of tbe elder Adams, has been elected without the vote of tbe Keystone State; this consideration should bn sufficient to turn the attention of political missionaries to Pennsylvania as tbe proper field for their labors-" Tbo Times, however, thinks our State will not retain her office of President making many years longer, for the increas population of the Western States, as well as tbe admission of new members into the Confederacy, will disturb the balance of power, and the vote of Pennsylvania will not be neceas&ry to settle tbe question of the succession. This may be trae, for, as our oo temporary observes, tbe State was saved this year to the Deroocraoy by the skin of her teeth, and as revolutions never travel backwards, tbere is no probability of her giving her vote again to the party which received it in the great straggle which has just closed by elevating to the Presiitoucy tbe first Pennsylvania!! that has been elect ed to that exalted poet. It would have been very strange, if this President-maker of tbe Union, which has so often had to decide who should be President, should have neg lected the opportunity of bestowing that honor upon one of her own sons, when it was offered to ber. * According to tbe Leavenworth Journal (pro-slavery) one of tbe Free State prison ers in Kansas, nauied Bainter, of Grass hopper Falls, has been tried and sentenced to a term of six years' imprisonment at hard labor in the chain gang. A rumor was pre valent at Lawrence, that the Grand Jury at Lecomptou had found a true bill of in dictment against G. W. Clark, United States Indian Agent, for the murder of Barber, a Free State niau. The rebuilding of the Free State Hotel at Lawrence had been resumed. It will be larger than the one destroyed by the Missouri invaders. A great deal of clothing and provisions having been received at Lawrence from the Last, the Free State Committee was busily en gaged in distributing relief to sufiercrs. Of the fifteen Free State men tried and acquit ted at Leconjpton, only eigh were released. They immediately went to Lawrence, but in so wretched a condition that they were ashamed to ask permission to sleep in any of the bouses. DANGER OP WEARING HOOPS IN A VERY HIGH WIND. The Detroit Advertiser says:—"During the high wind on Sau:uay afternoon, and while the dust was circulating so thick that uo one could sea more than the length of an eyelash in front, a lady, dressed in the most elegant style, in coming around one of the corners, was lifted off her feet by the force force of the wind acting on the great ex panse of surface which she presented to it. Tho wind, unfortunately, did not set her down in the sauio position in which she was before being taken up, but turning her gent_ lv on or.e side, it laid her endwise on the sidewalk, where she commenced a serie3 of astonishing gyratious, rolling over and over on the hoops of the skirts, and exhibiting a species of locomotion which is not yet generally appreciated, and which miy come iuto fashion, with high winds and large cir clets of light materials. As the lady thus rolled over and over several persons were knocked down and passed over by the lady aad the hoops, without ever knowing that anything hud bem them. Fortunately for the lady, the dust and astonishment of the people out of doors permitted but a few to witness this new method of getting along in a stiff breeze, and keeping up a full sail at the same time. As we came round a corn er, we found the lady wedged between a lamp post and a hydrant, and immediately assisted her to an upright instead of a re. cumbent position." Almost all the principal cities of the Southern States have given majorities for Fillmore. We are only able to present the majorities in the following: N. 0., Louisiana, 3,843 maj. for Fillmore, JeffersoD City, "90 " " Louisville, Ky., 1,820 Maysville, 33 Richmond, Virginia, 294 Norfolk, M 448 Alexandria, " 264 Baltimore, Md , 7,029 Raleigh, N. C., 34 Nashville, Tenn., 430 St. Louis, Mo., 1,350 Mobile, Alabama, 159 Fillmore also carried Lexington, Ky., and several other Southern cities, the votes of which we have not now at hand. SOLD HER NIGGERS. — Miss. McDuflße,of South Carolina, John Van Buren's bride elect.'bas sold her niggers at an average price of S7OO, preparing herself for com panionship with a Buchanan Free Sailer! She need not have done that, for John is so debauched in political and moral sentiment) that, despite his old time horror of slavery, we believe ho would just as soon raise niggers for the market as pigs, and doubt less, in view of the trade he might drive in this line, we question if be does nit feel that the lady has compromised his expect ant fortune by disposing of her human stock at so low an average. Mr. Buchanan's family circle consists, for the present, of Mr. and Miss Lane, (his nephew and niece,) Mrs. George Pitt of Philadelphia, and Mr. Appleton, his lato Secretary of Legation in Loudon. Col. Ramsey is also on a visit with him. Miss Lane, a beautiful and highly accomplished young lady, does the honors of the mansion with the same grace and affability which has gained her to much popularity at the head of her uncle's establishment in Lon don. The New York Times says: "It ia rumor ed that Mr. Buchanan docs not intend to undertake the occupancy of the White House alone. He feels the necessity of a help-meet; and it is said to have made ar rangements for a joint tenancy with an ac complished Southern widow who has already bad the advantage of four years' experience in that position. This is tbe most sensible thing we have heard of Buohanau's doing since tbe canvass, opened. If it prove true, we shall have the most sanguine hopes of bis Administration. EjLtCXJOJJ Return Judges are required by their oath to return ail votes polled for any candidate; yet a great deal of Degii gcuce ou this subject is common. On auditing the official returns of Warren county Pa., as published in the Warren Mail we find that Gerrit Bmilh received sixteen votes in that county for President, while the official returns as received from Harrisburg give hiui not one vote in that county, and but eighteen in the whole state, tho' he probably received set oral Lundied. lu the South, the same course is pursued with the Fremont vote, and the votes returned will not probably amount to one-tenth of those actually polled. Henry A. Wise was at Wheatland, en deavoring to obtain certain written pledges frotn Mr. Buchanan, favorable to the South before the Virginia electors cast the vote of that state for him The Pacific Railroad letter seems to have somewhat shaken the confidence of the Virginia "abstractionits" in the President elect, and they may yet show him the truth of au old adage, "there is many a Blip,"&c., Ac. A German Wisconsin paper sajs the elections in Raciue, as well as in Walworth county, Wisconsin, were actually carried— illegally, of course—by strong miuded la dies, disguised as men, who, inspired by a great love for Fiemont carried out their principles by treacherously passing them selves off for specimens of the sterner sex and voting. Col. Foster, local editor of the Pittsburg Despatch, made a bet of bis beard on the Presidential result, with a hatter in that city. As the Col. had not shaved for sev eral years, it was regarded as a pretty stiff wager, and no small risk of moustache dig nity. He paid the forfeit with becoming grace, and resigned his beard. RUMORED PEACE IN* FLORIDA—A cor respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, writing from Florida, states that a treatj is now on foot between the United States gov ernment and the Indians in Florida, the latter to give the Indians five huudrcd thousand dollars for their stock and guar antee Billy Bowlegs tho chieftainship of the tribe when it is removed westward. FORETOLD BY A DREAM.—A gentleman residiug in Pittsburg who recently lost a female friend iu Philadelphia, by typhoid fever, relates that oa the night of her death he dreamed of seeing a corpse sitting up right in a rocking chair. The next day he learned of the death of his relative, a cousin, but only on Thursday of last week ascer tained tho fact that she died in her rocking chair. The E-litor of the New York Tribune— well-known for fcia hostility to Americanism —thus writes of the late election in Nee- York city: "Buchauan received nearly huh* the vote of this city but not half of the legal vote. Not one-third of his votes came from na tives of this oouotry. Fourteen thousand were naturalized here for this eleotioa." THE POLAR HERO.— Dr. Kano, the distin guished American Arctic navigator Las had, says the London Times, interviews with tho Lords of the Admirality; also with Captain Washington, the head of tho Hy drographi j oal Department, by whom he was cordially | received.
