The President is still at the Bedford Springs
where, we understand, lie intends to remain for
several day! yet. Our people re always glad
to meet Mr. Buchanan, with whom they have
become pretty well acquainted, ns it has been
his almost coustnnt habit, for many years, when
not officially engaged out of the couulry, to
visit our celebrated, and his favorite summer
resort. In private life the President is a gen
tleman, amiable in bis disposition and courteous
iu his manners, and it will give as pleasure to
record his annual visit, for many years to
come.
To the political couduet of Mr. Buchanan
heretofore, and to the manner in which his ad
ministration has conducted affairs, the right
thinking of all classes, especially iu his nat ive
State, and throughout the North will agree
with one voice. The following article is front
the Philadelphia Bulletin , an independent of
the 30th ult., under the caption of "Mr. Buch
chanau at Home." It would be well, probably,
for the President to read and ponder. It con-
M'li&f mill roimwy.fs fttey Wll the-mrntfrofTinr
ny of tLe suffering and toiling thousands of his
own, and other States.
"The President of the United States and most
of his Cabinet have left the seat of government
and ore recreating at various places. The
President is at Bedford Springs, where he has
been iu the habit of spending part of nearly
every summer for a number of years. We re
gret to say that he took a retired and somewhat
unusual moffe of reaching his native State, pas
sing as qufhly and mysteriously from Mary
land to Pennsylvania as if he were a passenger
by "the underground railroad," and avoiding
the great central route of Pennsylvania travel,
where he might mingle with the people and
observe someting of the tone and tenor of pub
lic sentiment.
"When the President quits Bedford Springs
to return to WashiDgtou, wn hope he will ceme
eastward byway of the Pennsylvania Railroad
a work which he, as a Pennsylvanian, might
be supposed to take some little interest in,
though we are nit aware that he has ever trav
elled over a mile of it west of Harrisburg. By
taking this road, he will pass along the Juniata
and a portion of the Susquehanna, and he may
feast his eyes on the spectacle of scores of
great iron-works, out of blast and idle, thanks
to the beautiful system of jjie* party of which
he is pride and leader. ComiDg further East,
he will fiud, at Harrisburg, Laucaster aud I
Philadelphia, great cotton mills shut up and
idle. Should he go to the coal region, which j
is also worthy of a visit from a Pennsylvania j
President, he may find mines idle aDd canals j
aud railroads scarcely doing any business. lie !
may meet thousands of workmen who have been
discharged from furnace*, forges, rolliug mills,
cotton mills, workshops, and industrial estab
lishments of all kinds. He may see number- i
less women and , bildren iu poverty.and wretch
edness, owing to the failure of their husbands j
and fathers to get work. lie may interchange !
opinions with practical men of bis own State,
in regard to the wisdom of the policy he and
his party have pursued in regard to protection
to American industry; and new ideas, enforced'
and illustrated by the pictures we have referred
to, may thru be instilled into the head of the
nation.
:Tuc moral scenery of Pennsylvania, which
the President may observe by making such a
trip as we haw suggested, will have as much
of the charm of novelty, in his eyes, as will
the physical outlines of the country traversed.
The monotony of power and dignity at Wash
ington, which receives no telief except that
occasioned by a row iu Congress, or a difficul
ty about the disposition of an office, must be
excessively wearisome to an intelligent mind.
An exploratory journey through Pennsylvania,
such as even ministers of great European em
pires lie -8 lately thought worthy of being made
ivould ha as refreshing and edify tog to Mr.
1 Buchanan as are all excursions into great but |
little known countries. If he has the Colutu- ;
i
bian spirit of enterprise and discovery that an
American President ought to have, Mr. Buch
anan will certainly visit the miniug and manu
facturing districts of Pennsylvania before be
returns to Washington.
"While traversing the State at a reasonable
distance from the Maryland boundary, the
President may also have his mind enlightened as
to some other matters of public interest. Com
municating directly with the people, and with- '
out intermediate politicians, he mny have some
seriously erroneous impressions removed from j
his mind. lie will learn that the people of j
Pennsylvania have a scrupulous regard for ;
popular rights ; that they some all subterfuges :
and mean evasions; that they sympathize I
strongly with the people of Kansas in their
efforts to establish for ihcmselves a free state'
government ; that they view with abhorrcnee
the persistent efforts made at Washington, first ,
by force and next by bribes, to induce XaDsas
to submit to a Constitution that was not re- j
ferred to a popular vote, and that declares that
slavory shall exist among them. Such discov
eries as these must bo surprises to the Presi
dent ; for his whole course, during the last
year or two, shows that lie has taken an entirely
diflcrent view of public sentiment in Pennsyl
vania, and throughout tho Northern States. —
He cannot, certainly, wish to oppose aud offend
the popular prejudices iu his native state, in
favor of protection to American industry and
tho people's right to decide for or against the
government under which they ure to live. —
His opposition to both these grand principles
must, therefore, be the result of ignorance of
the wishes of the people. A tour through the
middle and eastern counties of the State will
banish this ignorance, and he will go back to
Washington a wiser man than he left it. Of
| the virtues of the water of the Bedford Springs
jwe have no question. It is mildly aperient,
! aud it jrives tone and vigor to the stomach and
.
Ito the whole human organization. When ibe
j President has thoroughly gone through a
1 ! couise of it, and experienced all its benefits in
I his physical system, he must, to complete a like
i restoration of his moral aud iutcliectua! health,
J make, as we have suggested, an exploratory
I tour among the furnaces, factories and mines
of Pennsylvania. lie would derive front it
valuable new ideas for his next message."

I will be found iu another column. The ticket
nominated is one of the best ever presented to
the people of our County. Out of 3uch good
' meu as were before tho Convention, such a one
of our friends preferred other good men for one
of the offices, aud of course some sore fccliog
j was manifested, but this is always the case iu
I nominating a ticket, and we believe, love of
j principle, and the good cause, as of yore, will
! fix this all right in the only Towuship dissatis
fied. The feelings of all our delegates were
pure, and from the best of motives; aud the
unanimous opinion was, that we would give
Locofocoism a good drubbing in the coming
electiou.

BURNING OF THE NORTH BEND "LOG CAB
IN."—The late President Harrison's house at
North Bend, the "log cabin" of the campaign
of 1840, was destroyed by fire on the 24th of
July. It was occupied by the family of
William 11. H. Taylor, sou-iu-law of President
Harrison, who barely escaped with their lives, '
saving ouly their night-clothes. The Cincinnati
Gazette says :
"Nothing was saved in the way of furniture
or documents, and the probability is, many
valuable papers left by President Harrison,
together with articles cherished as relics of the
old hero, and of the early history of the West,
have been destroyed with" the building. The !
only portrait ot Mrs. Harrison iu- existence '
(painted by Beard,) with two or three of the :
General, taken at different periods of his life, i
are also probably destroyed. Mrs. Harrison, i
the widow of President Harrison, fortunately i
was not iu the dwelling, the venerable lady at
present being at the residence of Hon. J. Scott !
Harrison, a son of Gen. Harrison, a few miles !
beyond the old homestead." '

i this Convention; G. W. Householder, Lemuel

1 Ev-ns and J. E. Colvin, who reported the fol
! lowing Resolutions, which were adopted uuan
! imously:
j Resolved, That •J<e preseut financial euibar
i rasswents, and unprecedented bard times, are
the manifest and inevitable fruits of sliaiu de
mocracy, practically demonstrated. That the
auti-American doctrine of frje has pros-
S trated our domestic manufactories, caused an
excessive importation of foreign geods, drained
the country of its specie, reduced the prices of
produce, deprived labor of its just reward, and
forced the National Treasury aud vast multi
tudes of our most honest and enterprising fel
low citizens to the verge of bankruptcy.
Resolved, That the present Executive, and
Cougress, at its last session, by doing nothing
to remedy these evils under width the whole
country is suffering, have fuiled to meet the
reasonable expectations of the people for re
lief, and evinced a determination to persever
in the exploded freo-trade theories and prac
tices for the benefit of foreigu labor and capi
tal, and 10 the prejudice of our own, regard
less alike of the wants and tbe sufferings of
the people, and the threatened bankruptcy of
t .iiiiifu) t met t rtf prrsmr TTSfffrrai mtmn
istration, by its persevering and iniquitous at
tempts to force slavery upon Kansas under a
constitution concocted in fraud, abhorred by
her citizens and repudiated at the ballot-box by
! a majority of more than ten thousand of the
j qualified voters of that ill-fated territory, his
violated all the plodg s made before the recent
national and State elections, and has so outra
ged the plainest principles of American liberty,
and of self-government, as to have not only
lost our confidence, but made ac'ive opposition
our imperative duty.
Resolved, That the unprecedented expendi-
I turo of over eighty millions of dollars annnul
il y, and the creation by the late so-called dem
! ocratic Congress, of a permanent debt of forty
t millions of dollars in five mouths, and in a
time of profouud peace, exhibits such an alarm
ing recklessness and profligacy in the expendi
ture of tbw people's money, as to demand the
stern and iudignaut rebuke at the ballot-box
by every tax payer and voter in tbe State.
Resolved, That in view of the facts and
opinions set forth in these resolutions, it be
comes the duty of every patriotic citizen, who
has any regard for the sound principles of our
government, or desire for a wise administra
tion of our afluirs, to unite in a vigorous effort
to rescue our government in all its branches
trom the hands of those who have shown them
selves so unworthy of our confidence: and to '
this end, regardless of ul! past differences, we |
hereby cordially ratify and endorse the nomi
nation of the Hon. John M. Read, of Philadel
phia, for Judge of the Supreme Court, and of
the Hon. \\ iiliam l'l. Frazer, of Fayette,
for Canal Commissioner, and pledge to them
our uuaninous and ardent support at the ensu
ing election.
| Resolved, That Dmiel Wuauabaugh, Charles
|\\ . Ashoom and Daniel Sams, our Congres
sional Conferees already appointed, be instruct
;ed to use all honorable means to secure the
: nomination ot Hon. Francis Jordan, as our
| candidate for Congress in this district.
Resolved, I hat we earnestly recommend to
I tho support of the voters of Bedford County,
Geo. \V'. Williams, of Napier, for Assembly,
| Gideon L>. Trout, of St. Clair, for Couuty
| Commissioner, Henry .M. Hoke, of Snaks Spring
for Poor Director, Win. Showman, of Harri
: son, for Coronor, and James Camel], .f Mou
roe, for County Auditor, as gentlemen in eve
ry respect worthy of their suffrages for the sev
eral offices for which they have this day beou
put in nomination.
Resolved, That we hereby ratify the uomiua
tion of George G. Walker, of Somerset Coun
ty, as the other candidate for Assembly in this
district, and pledge to him the party vote in
this county.
Reiolvel, That Daniel Washabaugb, B. It.

The lion. John C. Davis has anuuouuocd
himselt as an Independent Anti-Lecotoptou
Democrat candidate.in the seventh Congres
sional District, Indiana. The bogus Demo
crats, who, in Convention, nominated Mr.
Seeriste refused to endorse the course of Mr
Davis in Congress, aud the latter has very
wisely concluded to appeal to the people.
AXOTUER COXTERSIOX
Wo have been favored with the following ex
tract from a letter writteu by an Anti-Lecomp
ton Democrat iu Somerset to a friend here, '
who, considering its couteuts a matter of pub- |
lie interest, has incoutiuently bunded it to us
for publication:
DEAR M.: —lf, iu the course of J our miscel
laneous reading, your eye ever lighted oo a
volume of funny hut improper poetry by Low
ell, called "Biglow Papers," you may remem
ber a stanza of the "Pious Politician's Prayer,"
which runs as follows:
"I do believe in special ways
O' prayin' and convartin',
The bread comes back in many days,
And buttered, too, for sartin."
I cull your attention to this as containing the
morale of certain political changes here which
may have fallen under your notice.
It is well known that the Lecompton Hill
found no adherents in Somerset, although it is
the native place, and, until lately, the resi
dence of Attorney General Hlack, its princi
pal supporter in the Cabinet. The lion. F. >l.
Kitnmell, who, you know, is a brother-in-law
to Black, was the first to declare himself
against it. Judge K. controls tbo organ of
the party, the Democrat, which took such very
decided ground against disfranchising the peo
ple of Kansas, and argued the question with
such zeal and ability, that it proved a most ef
ficient auxiliary to the Press-, and, a month ago,
I supposed that Col. Foruey had not a warmer
friend and udmirer in the State than the editor
of the Demoirat.
But what changes may not one little month
bring forth ? "Within a month," or ere the
ink was dry in which it denounced the Admin
istration, the D'-mocrat has forgotten its virtu
ous hatred of Lecompton,its indignation at the
passage of the English swindle, and its friend
ship for the Press. It charges a prominent
member of the party, who'epposed Judge Kitu
uiell for the Congressional nomination, (and
who would have beaten him, with fair jilay,)
with being in conspiracy with Col. Forney to
destroy the Democratic party ! It accepts the
Euglish Bill as a settlement of all difficul
ties in Kansas, and endorses, without reserve,
the policy of the Administration.
This remarkable change requires some ex
planation, and I think I can give it to you.—
Judge Kimmell kucw that he would not get the
Congressional nomination in this county, with
out taking auti-Lceompton grounds. Ho re
ceived the nomination a few weeks age, and
siucc then has occurred this change in the sen
timents of bis organ. Why ? you will ask.—
Because ho does not intend to he a candidate,
lie cannot got the nomination in the district,
and if he could, he would, at auy rate, be de
feated. He knows this so well that he has no
desire to run the risk, and has fixed his eye up
on another office—that of Judge of the
U. S. District Court, at Pittsburg, now
vacant, or soon to he made so by the removal
or resignation of Judge Irwin. The county
nomination for Congress was only to give him
prominence iD the party, and an appearance of
popularity at borne.
m We
surrender his principles, and be admitted into
tbe very hooorable and lucrative "order of He
couipton,' his distinguished relative—the At
torney Geueral—acting as his natron aud god
father. fc
| iiis is not a matter of beef, or wagons, or
mules, or as.-cs. There is uo army or navy
contract at the bottom of it, and tbe dear peo
ple,-it present, are not able to understand why
it is that the Democrat is flying in the face of
public opinion, reviling Col. Forney, and scent
ing the leadership of the Press. After Judge
Kimmel has received the appointment, they
will uo longer be in darkness. The bread
will come back in "many days"—"and but
tered too, for sartiu'"
lou need not fear that the course of the
Democrat will do much harm, for the anti-Le
compton feeling is deeply grounded in the
hearts of our people, and they will not long
support a paper that studiously misrepresents
them.
1 iutend to watch the course of events, and
will keep you posted upon this—and any othei
remarkable eases of conversion which may hap
pou among us in this day of political revi
vals. * * * * ' * #

Is one of that elder rues of Philadelphia
lawyers whose learning, astuteness, subtle pow
ers of legal analysis and powerful grasp of in
tellect liavo long since earned for the bar of
our city a reputation coextensive with tbe
Union. No one at all acquainted with tbe
public men of the city, with its bar, or with its
political history, can plead ignorance of John
M. Read, for he has been always a bright and
shiuing light. Very few publicists have been
so consistent iu the determination to resist the
schemes of nullification aud southern propagau
disin. 110 was foremost among those who re
volted against the U'usa nomination in 1848,
and that of Buchanan 18i>6 To the indepen
dent democrats of Philadelphia who so nobly ;
sustained the People's ticket at the last I
oleetiou, aud who will do the same again in j
October next, his nomination will be iu the i
highest degree gratifying. They will feel iu- j
spired with fresh confidence, and thousands of
others will go with them into the new move
ment- At the same time the Republicans,
who thoroughly know and appreciatenhc man,
have reason to feel grateful to the Americans
who so earnestly advocated bis nomination
The nomination of John M. Ilead places
before the public ODe of the most competent
persons ever offered as a candidate for the
Supreme bench—a man of unimpeachable in
tegrity, judicial cast of mind, of long experi
ence, and deeply skilled in the law. There
ought to be no doubt about the election of
suoh a man, and we trust there can bo none.—
lie deserves, at least, the hearty support of
the people among whom ho has lived so long
and earned his reputation. They should give
him their suffrages, irrespective of party ties,
and thus testify their appreciation for true
worth. Uuless this bo done, our good city
will have but little credit abroad for indepen
dent discrimination, and will with a poor
grace ask nominations hereafter at the hands
of the mgti of the State. There are no excu
ses to be uiado for Jobu M. Read, lie is with
us iu sontmieut, as he hrs long been, from a
sincere ami disinterested devotiop to the car
dinal principles of protection, not 'e*s than to
the free institutions under which his own
commonwealth has thriven so wondrou^Y- —
JS'orth American.
THE EXTRAVAGANCE OF THE
ADM i N IST' it AT lON. —lion. John Hickman, Dem
ocratic Member of Congress from the Chester
county district, in a speech at West Cheater,
the other evening said :
"The national debt at the close of the pres
ent Administration will, in my judgment, tauge
from §100,000,000 to 5L20,000,000. At
this time the annual cost of Government li
near to one hundred millions of dollars, it is
not likely that expenditures are to he reduced
in the future. The tendency has heretofore
been to an increase rather than a reduction.—
The appropriations for the present fiscal year
reach almost to the sum of ninety millions of
dollars, and before its close it will bo found
that certain deficiencies will have to he supplied
Therefore, 1 am not iuaccurate when I set down
the expense of tho Government at the round
sum of one hundred millions a year.
[CF~Tke Bedford Gazette says that the "in
terests of tho whole South are in favor of Fiee
Trade."
TLis explains why the Democratic party is
in favor of Freo Trade, and it gives the reason
why it must remain so. The Democratic part)
has no opinions antagonistic to the "whole
South." It knows no North. Southern rice,
cotton, sugar and Slaves fill its vision, and ob
scure all else. If the North wish their inter
ests cared for, they must look therefore to the
party that believes this Government was not
made for the South alone.— Gettysburg Starr
