MBBIMML ... . . | BEDFORD, Fa. Friday Morning Jan. 30. IBST "Fv&riets and Free." I>A VID OVER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR The pious hypocrite of the Gazette can not forgive Mr. Jordan, for aiding'in the defeat of Jehu W- Forney, of Forrest no toriety. The contest was between Forney and Cameron, and if be voted at all, it is plain that he had to vote for one or the sjther of the two men. Everybody that knowa Mr. Jordan, is aware that he never could vote for a vile slanderer like Forney; they know also that no honorable man would vote for any scoundrel who would be guilty of an attempt to blast the reputation of a defenceless woman, as did Forney ! Only a pious hypocrite, like the editor of the Gazette, could do such a thing ' No matter what the political character of Cameron may be, we have the authority of the Ga zette for saying that his private character is unimpeachable'. Then between the two men, an American could do nothing less than to vote for him The editor is pious, be takes the sacrament, and prefers the as sassin of female character, to one of whom ha himself says, "In private life his acts are of an irreproachable character O, religion! what wicked acts are done in thy . name! Mr. Jordan opposed Gen. Cameron two j years ago, when we bad a large majority in ; the Legislature. He as well as others then ' thought that with this large majority, we j ought to secare one of our oldest members i and most talented men. Now, the case is different; the Looofooos have the majority, and Gen. Cameron is the only man of the opposition that had the shadow of a hope of an election, and. he being a man of fair i talents, true to the interests ol' Pennsylva- i nia, and of "irreproachable character," Mr. ! Jordan, as well as every honest American ; and Republican, could do nothing else than vote for him. Americans and Republicans throughout the State, all say, to the mem bers who secured the election of Cameron over Forney, "well done good aud faithful servants!" We copy the following extract from the j Harrisburg correspondence of the Pittsburg j Gazette. It ia not only the American He- ! publicans that rejoice over the defeat of I John W. Forney: "Senator Brodhead has been here cou* j tributing all he could to the defeat of For ney. He has thus made some amends for the infamous doctiines of his Eastcru speech two years ago. As soon as the result was announced, he telegraphed Mr. Buchanan, with whom he has beeu upon unfriendly ! terms for years, the fact that Simon Came ron was elected. It was au exquisite, re- ! fined specimen of personal malice, equal in ] its malignity to the administration of the subtle poisons of the Middle ages by the Italians. Q7" M LOVE AFTER MARRIAGE, " and thirteen other choice Nonvellettes of the heart, a new work by Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz, is now in press and will be publish ed on Saturday, January 31st.

The Gazette is very sevete on the thre c honest German Democrats who could not violate their consciences by voting for For ney. Last fall the same paper was quite jubilant over several traitors in this Bor ough who were purchased ! Which ox is gored this time, Absalom! And why don't you come down equally severe on these fel lows, who, in reward for their treasoo, you have appointed to petty offices t Ah, but that alters the question, don't k* Tbs members of the Legislature, who were absent on account of tho snow storm, retnrned to Harrisburg on Monday. The Speakers of the Senate and House were both nbient. Mr. JORDAN was unanimous ly elected Speaker pro tem, and aoted i„ that capacity throughout the week, to the entire satisfaction of all parties. Benator J. Cresswsll visited his home on •last Saturday, and the citizens of Holli daysburg, without distinction of party, turned out and gave him an enthusiastic re ception. His mauly course in aiding to prevent the election of Forney, receives the hearty commendation there of everybody exoept the Postmaster, a few office holders on the public works, and the Standard. Came home with their fingers ia lijsiP mouths Several Locofucos from this place, who were in Hainsburg at the Senatorial .action. We pi ty Uitfju, wc du In our last, we referred to the fact that the Westmoreland Republican fully sus tains the e ourae of the Hon. Henry D. Fos ter. The -Qrgus, the other Democratic pa per in Westmoreland county comes to U.H this week filled with strong articles iu ap- j probation of the course of Foster, Hil I Fausold, Calhoun, Smith, Nicholson, Cress- j well and Backus. We copy the closing | paragraph in an article of the *lrgus- "It is idle for the to ex pect to injure the fair fame of Foster, Hill, Cresewel), Backus, Calhoun, Fausold,Smith, and Nicholson, by associating tbeir names with traitors. They str.nd STRONGER this day in the respect and affections of the people of western Pennsylvania than they ever did before. There is BUT ONE VOICE and ONE SENTIMENT, UNI VERSAL and UNDIVIDED, of CORDI AL APPROBATION. Never were the people so united before on any question.— In the name of all that is fair aud honora ble, is it uot enough that the west has again been defeated—again ignored in the coun cils of the democratic party? Shall contu mely be supeiadded to & wrong which has become grievous, and of which we have a right to complain? By what authority does the PenDsylvaniau associate the name of our gallant chief and bis NOBLE FRIENDS with traitors? HE and THEY OBEYED THE WILL OF THEIR CON STITUENTS, and who shall sit in judg ment upon them? For all that was doue by them they have the broad seal of the popu lar and sovereign will of those wham they represent. Has it come to this, that the gallant men who fought the battles and won the victories of the democratic party are to be proscribed? * * * * We have not takon the initiative in this unfortunate strife. We desire to sea the administration of of Mr. BucbanaD success ful, and guided by such high aud honorable principles as will command the respect of all men. VVe deprecate the unfortunate difficulties which have arisen, but we are not responsible for them. The course pursued by the Representatives from this county, meets with the hearty approbation of their constituents, and no denunciation from any quarter will shake the confidence of the de mocracy of Old Westmoreland in the Jew els of her party." We publish below the protest of the Locofoco members of the Legislature who refused to go into the caucus which nomina ted John W. Forney for United States Sen ator. It is a very strong document, and very abiy written, and places their defence opon the grounds of the interference of Mr. Buchanan, in favor of Forney. PROTEST. The undersigned, Democratic members of the Senate and House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, having declined to take part in the proceedings of the Democratic caucus which met on Friday evening, January 9, 1857, to place in nomination a candidate for the office ef United Btates Senator, re spectfully submit to their respective con stituents, and to the Democracy of the State, the causes which have constrained them to adopt a course which, if unwarrant ed by sufficient reasons, would subject them to legitimate censure. The undersigned have been, and stiil are, with many others, the friends of the Hon. H. D. Foster, of Westmoreland county, and have been the i earnest advocates of his nomination for the | office of U. S. Senator. In endeavoring to j effect this object, they never for a moment i entertained the thought of pursuing a pol icy at variance with the usages of fne dem ocratic party, or inconsistent with the dic tates of justice. They were proud of the man of their choice They believed that his merits and past services would sustain him in a fair contest, and they wished to engage in none other. At the outset it seemed that such would baits character.— Rumors that the weight of Executive au j t hority would be thrown into the scale were j it is true, in circulation, but they were un j reasonable, aad apparently inconsistent ' with the character of the President elect, ! and were therefore disregarded. But on the very eve of the assembling of \ the caucus, those rumors were unexpected !ly and strangely corroborated by the uu- I thoritative, and positive announcement that j a premature veto had been interposed by I Mr. Buchanan against the claims of all the candidates in the field, except the one up : on whom tbe smiles of the coming nations] ! administration were already dawuing. It is at this time altogether unnecessary for us to expose the manner in whioh this interference with the judgments and feelings of members of tho Legisla ture was made. It it enough to declare that we had satisfactory and overwhelming proof that it was made, and that regarding it at an unwarrantable assumption of au thority—as contrary to the spirit of our constitution—as tending to concentrate power iu the hands of the Executive, and endanger the independoDoc, not only of oar State Legislature bat of the Senate of the United States, we have by our action en tered our solemn protest against it, and have resolved, that we will not beoome par ties in establishing a precedent so liable to abuse, and so dangerous to liberty. Had the different candidates been permitted to enter the eaucus, standing upon their own merits, unsupported alike by Executive dic tation and Federal patronage, thea.had the choice of the caucus, on a fair expression of opinion, upon the part of men, whose du ty it has been, and still ia, by the law to elect a Senator, fallen upon Col. Forney, or g other man whose name was brought bo tbe caucus, we should have been the to complain. But this was not permit and because of this, and uot from any ous or personal spirit, we remained j froui, and took uo part in tbe cauous. BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE. VVe are satisfied with the correctness of our posit '.on. We believed it was right in the beginning, and we shall maintain it firmly ta the end. Under no circumstances, how ever, and in no contingency, will a single vote of any of the undersigned be cast for any man, no matter whom, other than for a firm and unflinching Democrat, and a man fit to represent Pennsylvania in the Senate of the United States. SAMUEL HILL, G. NELSON SMITH, R. J. NICHOLSON, J. K. CALHOUN, JOHN CRESSWELL, JOHN FAUSOLD, P. A. JOHNS. MAN MURDERED. On Friday morning last, at an early hour the body of a man was discovered lying by the railroad track about 24 miles west of Altoona, still alive but insensible. He was at once taken care of, and removed to the Hotel of Mr. Bowman in Altoona, where he died about 2 o'clock oo the same day. He was a stranger in the neighbor hood, and no one knew anything of him or of the manner of his t'ataf injuries. At first it was though' possible that ha might have fallen from the platform of the night train and so been injured; but a further investi gation excluded this presumption, and left no room to doubt that he was brutally mur dered. From the time he was found until be died he was speechless. When found he had several severe gashes in aud about his neck and throat, marks of several terri ble blows upon his head, and other injuries upon his person, besides frozeu fingers and feet—the whole nuking up a sadly horrible spectacle ot heartless barbarity on the part of bis fiendish murderer. Near the spot where he lay, a razor was found, and one or two clubs marked with blood. Dr. Hays was ca'led iu at an early hour, but no medical skill could avail against the deadly injuries. It appeers that his name was Samuel Norcross, and that he was on his return to the home of bis friends ia Massachusetts, from the State of Illinois, and that he was a rnusio teacher by profession. He was well dressed, and had in his possession some $lB or S2O in money, a silver watch, a ticket for Philadelphia, baggage check, &c. Hoi. Register. From this week's Register, we learn that the relatives of Norcross came on, aud started with the body for home on Monday. Norcross had between $2,000 and $3,000 in his possession, when he left Illinois.— The murderer has not yet been taken, his real name is M'Kim, and his family resides in Wilmington, Delaware. The citizens of Altoona offer S3OO reward for the appre hension of tbe murderer, and efforts were also taken to induce the Governor to offer a reward for his arrest. Corretpondence of Inquirer and Chronicle. HARRISBURG, JAN. *27, 1857. MR. EDlTOß:—Nothing Bew here of mach importance. The railroad is opeD at last, and the many absent member* are again in their seats, which promises fair | thatsomething will be done soon. A num ber af important bills have already been in troduced into the Legislature. One is a supplement to the law of limitation of ac tions. Auother floutishes under the com prehensive title of "An not declaratory of the law of Real estate, and for tbe greater security of title " It is understood that these important bills originated with Mr. Price, the ex-Senator from Philadelphia.— He seems to have acquired such an interest in and taste for legislation during his term here,as to prompt him to give it special at tention for an indefinite period of timo vet to come. The bills are too long even to give you a creditable abstract of them, in oue short letter. A bill has also been in troduced to prevent fraudulent voting; and is no doubt aimed mainly at Philadelphia. Another important bill relates to the office and duties of Attorney General. It propo ses to make it a salaried effiae, and to re quire him to give security for the faithful discharge of his duties, and requires him also to do all the collecting of tbe State, instead of giving it out to politioal favor ites as heretofore. A bill has been introduced also by the new Senator from Philadelphia, (Mr. Pen rose, altering the law upon the subject of contempts ot Court. Under the law as it now exists, a man may be imprisoned for contempt for any period of time during the pleasure of the Courts. The new bill pro poses to limit the term- of imprisonment, to a period not exceediug thirty days, except' in a tew cases. A formidable opposition is foreshadowed, and the fate of the bill is of course uncertain, though I incline to be lieve it will pass. The apportionment bill is not commenc ed yet, the official report of tho ceusus be ing not yet received. Senator Finney and his lady had a rough time of it the other day, coming up from Philadelphia. The car in which they were riding, along with many other passengers, ran off the track, and for some reasen or other, the engineer did not know it, or could not Btop, until they had dragged the car about two miles, and broken it all to pieces. Strange to say, none of the pas sengers were seriously hurt, and Finney is in bis seat to-day. The democracy appear to have discover ed that M'Qraw, the present State Treas urer. cannot hold over, even should they refuse to go into an election; and the bill therefore to go into joint oonvention will in all probability pass. Yours, Ac., SPECTATOR. The defeat of Forney for Senator proves that ha has been greatly overrated. Gen. Cameron was a private citizen, a member of a defeated party, and with nothing but his own private resources at command. Mr. Forney was the confidential friend of the President elect, the distributor of public patrouage, and the chief member after Bu , ebanan, of a victorious party. He had at hit command the distribution of one hun dred thousand offices, and the disbursement per annum, of from fifty to one hundred millions of dollars. His private purse was a large one, aud he and bis friends were unscrupulous in regard to the use they made ot it. With all these advantages on his sidd, he has been beaten by Gen. Came ron with the same ease that a strong man can lift into the air, and hurl a feeble strip ling to the earth.— tlarritburg Telegraph. POLITICAL AND SOCIAL PROSCRIP- The leading Locofoco papers and poli ticians are not only urging their party friends throughout the State to call county meetings, and politically proscribe the three Democrats who voted for Simon Cameron, but here in the State capital, six Locofoco members of the Legislature have deter mined upon a social proscription. Sir. Samuel Menear, of York, one of the Dem ocrats who voted for Simon Cameron, was boarding at Wilt's Pennsylvania Hotel.— Six Democratic members who were board ing there also, addressed a letter to Mr- Menear, in which they requested him to quit the Hotel, as his presence wa obnox ious to them. Mr. Menear replied to them and then left the tavern. We give below the correspondence between Mr. Menear and the six Locofoco members. Harrisburg, January 14, 1857. Mr. Samuel Menear, Slß:—The undersigned, boarders at the Pennsylvania Hotel, feel that they can no longer (without injustice to themselves) meet you on those terms of perfect equali ty, which members of a high and honora ble body should have for each other. We therefore hope, that knowing your presence to be disagreeable to us, you will without delay leave the house. B NunemadLer,' Jesse Pearson, Mi chael Hoffman, Franklin M'llvain, Chas- M. Leiseuring, John C. Evans. January 14th, 1857. C. M. Leisenring, J. C. Evans, B. Nun neiuacLcr, J Pearson, M. Hoffman, F. M'- llvain I have received your note of this date, in regard to which I have to say, that feel ing that 1 have done nothing which sr an independent Democrat I ought not to have done, lam unwilling longer to associate with persons who evinco by this note that they have so little knowledge of what is be coming in members of a high and honora ble body, and who on this aceount are not fit asßooiatea for gentlemen who can associ ate on terms of equality. As I cannot consent to meet such men on terms of equality, it ia ray intention to leave a house of which they sre iumatcs. Ha Mr el Menear. The peopie of Pennsylvania will yet thank Mr. Mroear and his two Democratic friends, Leboaod Wagonseller, for the bold and manly stand they took in opposition to the dictation of James Buchanan. They rebuked him for his endeavors to place a low unscrupulous blaokguard in the Senate of the United States; and tbey recorded their votes in favor of one who has always been true to his frieuds and true to the best interests of Pennsylvania.— Harris• burg Telegraph. NOT MUCH GRIEVED. The Pottsville Emporium, the organ of the Schuylkill Democracy, does not seem to be ranch grieved at the defeat of Col. Forney, and appears to be rather inclined to sustain the bolting members from that county, Messrs. Lebo and Wagonseller, who voted for Gen. Cameron. It says : "Tho causes which led to the defeat of Col. John W. Forney, the Democratic no minee, were mauifoid; and taken singly, many of the ebjections to him were suffi cent to ensure his overthrew, even had they not combined to produce this result. In the first plact, the announcement, a month or two ago, that Mr. Forney would be candidate for the United States Senate, was received with surprise all over the State. Many good men had been named for that post, and many who had older claims upon the party wore forced to stand bark and make way for the Wheatland pet." The Emporium, in another article says : "The election of Geo. Cameron over John W. Forney has taken many by surprise, but when we look at ibe matter in all its phases, it is not so surprising after all that the blood of the Highlanders should prove in this instance too much for the Huguenots. Forney's most active friends here are very apt to defeat Democratic candidates, if they do nut come exaetly up to their standard of Democracy, with every i dotted, and every I crossed. These extreme geutlemen should bear in mind that in politics, there are always blows to be given as well as blows to be received. But there were oth er reasons why Mr. Forney was not so strong in the afiections of the Democrats as was desirable and necessary to his success. It is well kuown that he is one of the strong est, if not the strongest pro-slavery man in the North. Again, he was accused of fa voring the repeal of the duty on Railroad Iron, which it is believed would injure our coal producing and iron Counties. These qneations operated against him and render ed his election impossible. Then, as to Gen. Cameron, why, if the Democratic no mince was so odious to a portion of the De mocracy, the General is just tho man for the coal region; he manfully battled tor the great interests of Schuylkill when in the Senate a few years ago; HO it is very I certain Schuylkiil county has gained by tho I defeat of Forney, who is too much of au I offioe huutor aud spoils leader ever to be j useful to any iudustriul interest. We can, ; therefore, find sufficient excuse for our members. We CUD also point to the fact (bat the prominent politicians of Schuylkill county Lave nearly always been favorable to Gen. Cameron. An examination of the record, and an exhumatioii of old correspondence will go far to prove this, and go far also, to embarass some of those who are most pro minent in denonnotng Messrs. Wagonseiiet and Lcbo. THE PROTEST. The following is the protest entered by a portion of the Locofoco members of the Senate and House, against the election of Gen. Cameron : The undersigned members of the Senate of Pennsylvania, do hereby protest against the proceedings of the Joint Convention which met at 12 o'clock, M., Tuesday, 13th inst., in the Chamber of the House of Representatives, for the purpose of elect ing a Senator to represent this State in ilie Senate of the United States for six years from the 4th of Merch next: and they pro test against the election of Simon Camer on by said Convention, for the following reasons, viz: Because there was not a concurrent ma jority of each House iu favor of the candi date declared to be eleoted. Because the Senate did uot comply with the requirements of the act of the 2d day of July, 1839, entitled "Ad act relating to the elections in this Commonwealth," iu this, that they did not appoint a teller, aud make a nomination of persons to fill said office, nor give notice of said appoiutment and nominations at least one day previous to the meeting of said Joint Convention. It sometimes makes a mighty deal of dif ference as to "whose ox is gored." The gentlemen who thus so lustily piotest against Cvt mkrox's election, were alt in their seats in their respective chambers, and all voted to go into convention; they ali knew that no teller on the part of the Senate had been eleoted the previous day; they each cast their vote for Col. Forney in the Conven tion, and we opine, if he had been elect ed, this protest on their behalf would never have been heard of It happens their ox is gored, and although caused by their own act, they now protest against it. Pshaw! ( SITED STATES SENATORS. A number of United States Senators have recently been chosen by the respec tive State Legislatures now in session. In Pennsylvania, Gsn.

THE WINTER AT THE NORTHWEST—TER RIBLE SUFFERINGS.—The severity of the winter at the Northwest is illustrated by the following adventure which befel a party of surveyors in lowa, last week, who took shelter from a snow storm in a raviue which seamed the prairie: "They pitched their tent upon three feet of snow—rigged a stove whose pipe rau up through the top of the tent—ate and went to sleep. A difficulty of breathing aroused the party early, and it was discovered that the ravine bad drifted ohock fall, and that the snow was three feet above the top of the pipe. Out of the entire surveying company of which they were a part, two men froze to death, two waded tbe prairie snows in stock ing feet, unable to draw on their stiff hoots, and all were disabled, permanently or tem porarily, by the freexing of the extremities. A letter from St. Joseph, Mo., gives an account of the terrible sufferiogs of a hunt ing party from Atchison, Kansas territory, two of whom were South Carolinians, and the third a Missourian, named James String fellow. The letter says: — ' "When they reached the Big Blue they fixed their encampment, bat finding only a few buffalo, they left their camp in obarge of a negro man belonging to Mr. Van Dorser, and proceeded over to the Little Blue. On the first eveaing out they were overtaken by a storm of wind and snow, and lost their way- They wandered for eight days with out fire or food. They blew the tubes out of their guns in their efforts to kindle a fire, and then threw their guns away. The feet of Van Dorser and Morrell became so frosted, and they were so exhausted from fatigue and starvation, that Mr. Stringfellow, who had bad some mountain experience, was scarcely able to get them to move along.— He encouraged theiu by every means, until they finally reached a habitation, and were saved. Mr. Morrell and Mr. Van Dorsen, however, will loso llioir feet, and Mr. String fellow some of his toes. Their were beyond description, and they will be ill for some time to come. The negro who re mained in camp is uniujured, although he suffered a good deal from the severity of the coll and anxiety for his master aud fiiends. They are all now ateiy lodged ID Atcbin- SOU.

The incorruptible, the unpurchaseable, the uuterrified, the unconquerable, are, by turns, the boastful titles of Democracy.— But alas, Democracy is human, and oan be bought —it is only human, and can be cor rupted; it is wicked, and can betray. We have the authority of the Post, a Democratic organ, for sayiug that all this \ wickedness and weakness lie at the doors lof the Democracy. Upon anything less than Democratic authority we should not dare to oharge that anything Democratic oould be bought, but the Post surely ought to know. That paper of Thursday, replies to our I felicitations over the election of General | Cameron, in tbia wise—observe, we are I quoting the Pittsburg Post: "We are only glad of one thing, and we hope the Journal man may derive comfort from the fact that he is pleased in the ac complishment of treachery, against which there can be no provision. Three ineu elected as Democrats took part in eaueus, plighted their faith to abide its decision ; promised the men who gave them their po sition to aet fairly, aDd then basely sell out to the enemy, treacherously yield their ho j nor and traffic their fututre hopes ; if tbis | affords comfort, of course those who enjoy lit are entitled to it.

When he struck the bottom, he found himself io five feet of water at the bottom of a forty foot well, 1 with a smooth brick wall, all the way up. Fortunately, on ooming to the surface of the water, be found a stout piaok, upon which be supported himself for half an hour calling for help: but no help csme. Get ting desperate, the boy out with his knife, and while holding en with one hand to tbe plank, cut off his boots, tore off bis coat and vest; mod then bracing his back upon one side of the well and bis feet upon the other side, he commenced working his feet up, by inches. ~ After struggling in this way for half an hour, he succeeded in reaohing daylight, completely exhausted, but thank ful to escape with his life. His escape from death was remarkable, under all cir cumstances.— Hartford Caurant. A letter from Salt Lake City to the Baltimore Sun says: "We have dreadful accounts of the sufferings among the Mor mon emigrants, by the hand cart train, which is now iD tbe mountains. The train contained over three hundred and fifty souls, oue seventh are already dead and they are dying at the rate of fifteen per day. There are some six huadred more behind, of which we have heard nothing. We hope they hare stopped at Laramie. It is im possible for them to get through this win ter. The Mormons estimated that there are not less than 1500 of their brethren yet to come in, and the snow is reported to be not loss thau a foot deep in the mountains." The Jiarketo.

EXTENT OF THE STORM. —The North American, of Thursday week gives the fol lowing account of the snow storm of Sun day, by which it will be seen that it has spread over a large extent of country.— "At Bangor the storm was furious, the roads impassable, and the thermometer six degrees below sero, on the 19th. At Mon treal, the same day, the thermometer was fifteen degrees below xeio, and there was a terrible gale and snow storm: and at Que bee, on the 18th, the thermometer was thir ty degrees below zero. At Buffalo, on the 18tb, the thermometer stood at eight de grees below xero: on the 19th, it was fiv degrees above, with a slight fall of SDOW, and the maiis from the West irregular. At Oswego, on the 18th, the thermometer was eighteen degrees below zero, and on the 19th, three degrees below. At Og densburg, on the 19th, tbe thermometer was thirty-six degrees below xero; sud ft Watortown, the same day, foity degree* below. At Utica, on tbe 19th, the ther mometer was five degrees below, with s heavy snow storm. At Boston, Portland and Springfield, the snow was very aeeo. and the railroads were blockaded. At Springfield it was the severest storm since 1839. At New Bedford the ferry boat was frozen up in the river, and the ioooroo tives attempting to break through the snow drifts, found them in some places as high as the smoke pipe. At New Haven, on the 19th, the thermometer was six degrees below xero Tbe steeple of a church iu New Haven was blown off, and it fell thr?' the roof and crushed the galleries. At Providence tbe snow was two feet deep,, and the railways were impassable. At Dubuque, lowa, on the 19th, the ther mometer was thirty-seven degrees below zero. On the same day, at Cincinnati, it was four degrees below, and the ice iu the. river was a foot thick. At Chicago, oo the 19tb, the thermometer was sixteen degrees below xero. far as we have noticed, every American and Republican paper m our State has expressed entire satisfaction with the election of CAMERON to the U. 8. Senate. Good augury. The saute bapp; agreement about & candidate (or Governor, would secure a like bappy result—and we oan have it, just as easy as wa have had this. The Amorican and Republioao mas ses are as much disposed for a combination against tha Pro-Slavery and Foreign De mocracy as these members of the Legisla ture are. Gtve them a good, sound, turn open and manly American Republican to vote for and they'll do it. And they'll elect biro. And the Buobaneera will bo laid out flat. And the Blavary-extension ists will be rebuked again. And Foreign and Papal interference iu our political affairs will be suubbod. And the good "Old Keystone" will go on her way rejoic ing. So we hope and believe. What says the press generally!— Not. Register,
