our beautiful form OF Government is POPULAR
SOYEREiGNl f--ailowing the people of each ST.
10 form their own local Laws. The enemies Of De-
mocracy desire curtai Freemen OF this inestin,a-
bic right. Mr. Gibson the Abolitionist from Ohio
who spoke Bedford few weeks since said that The
Republicans went for popular sovereignty when The
people acted In accordance with their views, but NOT
otherwise! To make the matter plain we viii state
IN point. The people of Pennsy ylvania decid-
led against Prohibitory LIQUOR LAW. MIR. FIR.
| JORDAN, member OF the State Senate. declared,
by his acTs. that the people had right 10 nuify
the wishes OF the Temperance fanatics, and accord
ngy spit upon their decision and voted for the Jug
| Law This will be understood by every body. Now
the Kansas question is this and nothing else. The
people there, blood OF blood and flesh of flesh
demand that they, and they alone have the rig ht TO
say whether Slavery shall or shall not exist in that
AState The fanatica abolitoniss Join issue and de-
clare that they have not that Congress has the right
10 settle the question for them although the Constu-

| Slavery Is an Evil, and so Is intoxicating drinks
when improperly used-hut who will admit the dor
trlne that anatical abolition Temperance faction
shall control the free action of the PEOPLE these
! Subjects. Gov. Pollock, Mr.. Jordan, and his know
nothing brethren in the Legislature attempted 10
ride over the ..soyereigr voice" in pennsy ylvania on
The Liquor question, and Indignantly trowned
down by the masses Just the abolitionsts will be.

| G5- JOHN Fl. MARSHALL, E<q.-The Demo
Gratis in the 2d Congressional District, in the city of
Philadelphia have placed tins sterling democrat in
nomination for Congress. This honor was deserved
! ly bestowed, for Mr. NJ. has done good service in
vindcating the of the great democratic party.
For young man he possesses enviable reputation
/ as lawyer. His election TO Congress from the
great commercial metropolis OF Pennsy ylvana, would
impose upon him great and important duties, but
1 feel confident he would be equal TO the task. He
possesses in eminent degree all the elements
cessary TO make an able, attentive, and valuable
member. We wish him success over his know moth
( ing abolition opponent, +. Joy Morris.
u We invite especial attention 10 the advertise
ment OF Mr.. AUGHINBAUGH, in the proper column, by
which it will be seen that he proposes 10 open a
/ School of the highest grade in Bedford-and, from
what know OF him from reliable sources, have
no hesitation IN saying thai if our citizens encourage
him as they should, good education can be ac-
CURED under his instruction in any other nSiiiu-
ton in Pennsy lvana elsewhere. Let all who de-
sire TO give their children thorough education, give
this notice the attention which its importance de-
mands, and their ghest expectations will be real
lied. We rejoice in the prospect before Of such
School,
