the RedIora Democrneu.

We have perusod, with much satisfaction the
spirited proceedings Of meeting heldon the 9TH
inst. by the glorious democracy Of Bedford coup.
~ The meeting was addressed, in turn. by our
worthy democratic friends, JoIN CESSNA, ESQ.
Maj TATE, aad Gen BowMAN Regreting our
inability TO give the proceedings at length, we
must be content wththe Republication from ,he
Bedtoyd Gazette, Of the two Resolutions sub.
joined, with which, we are entirely pleased and
TO which we invite particular attentor;-
"ReS0iUed, That we have heard with
pride and pleasure, that Col. JoHE W..
FoRNEY, the talented and accomplished
editor of the PcmsyiUaaiaa, paper re-.
cogn2ed not only as the organ Of ihe Dem
Ocracy Of this State, but as an organ of the
Democracy of the Union, is conspicously
named as candidate for Clerk of the Ma
tionaI House Of REPRESENTATIVES. The
Colonel is emnenty qualified for the post
lis gentleman in every sense of the term
and has rendered as much service 10 the
country in the capacity Of editor and pub
lie speaker as any man of his years. Will
not the Democracy in Congress confer this
compliment upon the Democracy Of the
keystone State Her great Democratic
majority clearly entities her to this mark
of respect at the hands of her brethern of
the other States, and we respectfully beg
leave to give hun our unqualified recon-
mendation. We urge his election, because
we know him.
ReSOtUed, That our confidence in the
Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN is unabated. We
recognize in him all the traits of the States
man and Gentleman, and the older he
grows the better we like him. The result
OF his great Intellectual labors, like bread
cast upon the waters, will be seen and felt
Tor generations to come. His integrity as
man, his devotion to pure Democratic
principles, and his ability as Statesman,
Will forever endear his name to the Ameri.
can people. Although he can number his
friends by thousands and by hundreds of
thousands, he can find none more devo.
tedly attached to him than the lion-hearted
Democracy Of Bedford County"
THERE'S NOTHING TRUE but CuRf0rRia.-
The Texas Gazette alludes as follows to the gold
found in Wichita, in that State:
These descriptions of the Wichita gold
are more glittenng than those we read in
oriental history of the Dion Tala, or sea of
stars, at the source of Whangho, in Thibet
Ii one halt of those tales were true, the
philosophers stone would be no longer
deslderatum, and our negotiable notes
would be made payable in eagles and cq>
gtets instead Of cOaOs md CalUes. But, a.
las ! person who at home knows the pre-
else locality Of these hidden treasures, finds
upon going to the place, that they all van,
lsh into air like enchanted castles. The
Wichita gold, whenever gazed upon, as if |
touched by magiCian's wand, has the pc .
ouliar quality Of becoming transmitted into
mica. In short, it is nothing but an ignis
'0tuuS that "leads to bewilder, and dazzles
% blind. v We happen to know this, for
we had the pleasure of going all the way
lnder the schorchingray of a summer sun.
o have a peep at the gold and when we
arrived at the place Where IL aCas, we
ound II ~as not "thar," and any person
who will find it there, without the aid of
Nladdn's lamp is welcome to our lat.
