Still Deserving.

We clip tho following from tho last Bedford
Gazette, by which it will be seen that even the
colporteurs of the I" midnight order " are leaving
it in deep disgust. Bedford, and Blair counties
have heretofore been considered strongholds of
the party that wants to Ssrule AMERICA but
from the number of renunciatons lately publish
cd in the Gazette, a brighter day will soon break
upon them.
MARTINsBURG, Blair Co. May 5, 1856
To the Editor of the Bedford Gazette
SIR:-I deem it duty to state that I was
a member of the Know-Nothing party, of
Martinsburg, Blair county, and have been
engaged in circulating, as colporteur, Know
Nothing Books, which am now convinc ed
are in violation of the principles of TRUE
American. am truly sorry that ever al
lowed myself to engage in such business,
because | know it was wrong. In view of
these facts, and believing Know Nothingism
to be a gross violation of our glorious Consti-
tuition, l have renounced it forever, and have
returned to my democratic principles which 1
love better than I ever did before

Governor WISE, of Virginia, has written let
ter to New York, in which he strongly advocates
the nomination of MIR. BUCHANAN for the Pres-
dency. Amongst other reasons for his preference,
he says:
't Pennsylvania has always stood by Virginia,
from the days of Simon Snyder and Thomas
Jefferson down to this day she is of the larg-
est and Oldest and best of the old thirteen States,
and she has claims to give candidate, and she
has son worthy of nomination, who is rep
resentative, man and name, of his States democ-
racy, and if Virginia again prefers him, as she
did in 1852, viii go for his nomination might
and main.

Philadelphia Election.


The result of the recent Municipal election in
Philadelphia is such as cannot but be gratifying
TO the Democracy of Pennsylvania, as well as
cheering to the advocates Of civil and religious
liberty elsewhere.
The contest was one Of the most fierce and ex-
citing ever witnessed in that city, and the vote
larger than had ever been poled, the aggregate
vote being SO ,26O.
Two years ago the Know Nothings carried the
city by majority of 8,429. These two years Of
Inisrule under Mayor Conrad have been enough to
satisfy the tax-ridden and plundered people OF
Philadelphia Of the character of a party that
brought disgrace and reproach upon the city.
Now the Democracy have not only carried all
the city officers, but elected an overwhelming ma
orty IN both branches of Councils, nearly all the
Assessors, Prison Inspectors, and Ward officers.
The following is the grand result:
For Mayor-Vaux's majority 4089
For Solicitor-Porter's majority 4.481
For Controller-Tay lor's majority 4,l28
For Tax Observation-Disclosures majority 6,026
For rCommissoner-Leddy's majority 3,7S3
The Republican vote for the above Office. was
hs follows: For Mayor 2SO-For Solicitor 29I
For Commissioner 271.

This is thorough revolution, and one of the
most stunning defeats which the midnight order
has recently suffered. After brief but inglori-
Gus reign, = has found grave in the city of It's
birth, and now lays buried so deep that the hand
OF resurrection cannot reach it. Among the de-
feated is Charles B. Penrose candidate for re-
election to the Common Council
This gentleman was one of the most active in
opposing, and voted against granting the use of
Independence Hall to the friends of Mr.. Buchan-
an. His defeat richly deserved and the at
tempt of the leaping Ex-senator and his coadiu-
tors to insult an eminent Pennsylvania has been
properly rebuked
1t viii be seen that the vote of the Black Re
publican faction is small, but majority of that
faction voted with the B14STARD Americans.
and therefore the victory of the Democracy is
'Na more glorious and complete.

operation; and, what is still BETTER is doing vc,v
excellent business. Last week the locomotives
commenced making round trips-going to. and

we take into consideration the grades, and curves
OF this Rad, and the fact that its length is III

The Indian War II oregon

WASHINGTON, May 12-The President sent
to the Senate to-day number of documents
relative to the hostilities on the Pacific coast
General Wool, under date of the Goth of
March, says the war on Puget's Sound will
soon be brought to a close unless prevented
by Gov. Stevens determination to carry on
the war Independent of the United States
troops, and that the same remark is applicable
to Gov Curry, adding that these Governors
appear to be running race to see who can
dip deepest into the public treasury. 81 In
the dense forest of Puget's Sound another
Florida war can easily be carried on at an ex-
pense of twenty or thirty millions Of dollars
The same will apply to the mountain region
and Puget's Sound Valley. I have no doubt
| could settle the contest in a short time if the
Governors would withdraw from the contest"
Gov. Stevens says &c Gen. Wool neglec-
ted and refused to send force for the reiief
of myself and party when known to be in i'm
minent danger, and believed by those who
are best capable of judging, to be coming on
to certain death and this when he had at his
command an efficient force of regular troops
He has refused to sanction an agreement
made between Gen. Mason and Major Gaines
for troops to be sent to my assistance, and or
dered them to be disbanded 1t was reserved
for the Oregon volunteers to rescue US. There
has been breach of faith somewhere, [ ask

The last Voice from the Representative De
m0cracy of Pennsylvania.


On the eve OF adjournment, by a spout a..
neous movement among the Democratic mem-
bers OF the Legislature, the annexed paper
was drawn up and signed by every member
but two, one of whom was sick and at home.
We presume that no further evidence of the
sentiments of Pennsylvania in regard to her
preference for the Presidency will be required
The undersigned, Democratic members
of the Senate and House of Representatives,
of the State of Pennsylvania, in their rindiyidu-
al capacities, respectfully announce to their
constituents and to their democratic friends
throughout the Union, that they unanimous
ly approve and cordially endorse the proceed
ings of the late State Convention, held at
Harrisburg in March last, in presenting the
the name of JAMES BUCHANAN, as the nomi-
nee of the Democratic party of PENNSYLVANIA
| for the next Presidency In declaring their
sentiments on this subject, they disavow all
intention to make unjust or inviduous dis
tinctions between him and other eminent
democratic statesmen, who are, or may be
candidates for nomination, but they believe
it is the spontaneous wish of large majority
OF the people of Pennsylvania (and from all
indications of those of the United States. }
that Mr.. BUCHANAN should be nominated, be-
cause he is looked upon as eminently qualif-
ed as safe and sound statesman, and as .. the
man for the times Entertaining this opin-
ion and inspired by deep feelings of respect,
confidence and attachment TO the candidate of
Pennsylvania, they most warmly and with
entire unanimity endorse and applaud the ac-
ton of the Democratic State Convention in
the nomination of Mr.. BUCHANAN"

Lest CHILDREN. N.-Union township, Bedford
county, has lately been the scene of one of the
most heart-rending and affecting occurrences,
a drama that reminds one strongly of the affec-
ting story of the q babes in the woods" Two
weeks ago last Thursday, two children of VIM.
Cox, aged respectively Eve and seven, wander
cd away from their home, in the direction of
the mountain, in search of their father, who
was on a cunning expedition, guided as they
thought, by the crack of his rifle The return
of the father in the evening without them, re-
allied the painful fact that the children were
lost, and search was made for them Several
days passed, but no tidings of them, when
the people of the neighborhood turned out and
searched for them in every direction. a week
passed away, and still no tidings of the chill
dren of the woods were obtained. An intense
and painful excitement spread all over the
country, and people neglected their work to
take part in the search, which was kept up
with the most unfagging vigor. The proba-
able suferings of the helpless children, as
well as the intense agony of the parents, so
wrought upon the feelings of the community
that it is supposed that no less than four thou
sand persons from the neighboring counties
were securing the woods on Sunday week ago.
The search was still continued, and on
Thursday last the children were found, just
two weeks after they had wandered away
They were found under tree, near Conrad
saw mill, on the west side of Bob's creek, in
the open woods, only about thirty rods from
tAe road, and about four miles from home
having apparently died but few days preyi-
ous
AS the children were evidently never far
from home, 1t is conjectured that the reason
why they were not found, was owing to the
fact that the water in the creek was high. and
no person thought they could by any means
have crossed it, SO the search along the creek
was confined TO the east side.
>, Not only to those who have children of
tHeiT o"H, LISG suCu circumstance ,J, tItser-
ly affecting, but when we reflect over the suf-
ferings of these innocent children, WANDERING
about the woods, over rocks and tbrouob
swamps, for days. and finally lying down by
the side Of each other in despair, to die by
the ravages of hunger, we must conclude that
it would be a finty heart that would not be
filed with pangs of pity for their misfortupes
and untimely nd.--HoHidaysburq iStaadat5

RIFLES AND BIBLES. s.-At a Kansas meeting
held in New Haven, where one parson presi-
ded, another parson spoke, and a deacon vol
unteered, it was announced that Miss Mary
Dutton gave twenty-five dollars &c: the pur,,
chase of rifle to be used in contemplated
civil war 1t is but justice, however, to the
unmarried of the sex, to state that the Miss
Mary wnU exnIuitUu Iivvd-ti.i.ety Iispo
sition in New Haven is maiden on the sha-
dy side of forty. Some early disappointment
has probably soured the milk of human kind
ness within her. which would account in part
for her disposition to excite civil strife. The
funny mar of the Boston Post fires at her
the following squib:
Shoulder arms! Miss Mary Dutton-
Your knapsack buckle tight;
Your soger breeches put on,
And show 'em how to fight
Quick march upon the foes

Hold up your head turn out your toes
