ous sources for the foundation vi their epii.ions
should be cautious Of their influence. That such is
Ire character, and such the motives Of the anti
proeressionists i proved by almost every page oil
history. Il was these Doubters and Sneerers that
inaaned the peoplsto cruelty the Saviour and stone
the Apostles.
Faust invented printing. and the "Doabters'
and "Sneerers" accused him Of copartnershp
with the Devil When Calico discovered the fun
damental principles of Astronomy, the same class
demanded his head reean,ation. The same
class proposed to burn the inventor OF the saw
mill, as a wizard. When Brindley marked out
the line Of the Bridgewa,er Canal, they denounced
him as a mischievous madman and his noble pat
ron as the greatest of asses. Watt, Arkwright.
and Cartwright whose united inventions have
done ten ibid more to extend the power and i'm
portancc Of En- gland, than all her armies and
vies. were made to feel the dull might Of the
Doubters wisdom. and the smart of the Sneerer's
lash--the flop Of their Processes! Fulton had
but single friend and patron in an effort Of years
which has conferred untold blessings on human-
ty, but which tho humanity Of his day--before
success noticed only by seotFs and derision. No
man was more doubted aud sneered, than DE
Witt Clinton in an effort which has in brief
third of a century brought about the greatest So
cial and commercial revelations the world has vet
witnessed Even within that period Stevenson,
the inventor Of the Railway and Locomotive, has
been called upon to run the fiery gauntlet Of the
"Doubters" and ''Sneerers"-the head and front
of those "Doubters" and "Sneercrs,' comprising
in their ranks the mass of the learning and science
of the Kingdom. Such will be the result Of an
enquiry into the history Of any one Of the great
movements which have more sgnally benefited
mankind than any other, and we submit. that if
the uniform discontinue of these "Doubters' and
"Sneerers." aside from the result of an nnalysis of
their mental and moral composition. ought not TO
caution those who have formed opinions not 10
pin their faith too implicitly On those who can
ly wag n wise looking doubt or essay an empty
sneer. These are open fields of discussion, and
those who essay to lead public opinion, should
take these fields an a fair AMI manly opposition
or hold their peace"

THE PRESIDENT AIT BEDFORD.

II having been announced for some days says the Bed
ford Gazette OF the 18th inst that President Buchanan
would DO present at Harvest Homo Dinner to be
given at Hafer Hotel, in this place. on Saturday, the
7th inst large OF people assembled here
that day for the purpose of seeing and welcoming the
President of their choice. Thus have the sturdy yeo
many of Bedford county eectuay given the lie to the
malignant falsers who would have had the people be-
lieve that Mr. Buchanan would not be cordially
ceved by them on former occasions. He has been
regular visitor at watering place for many years. but
hae the people OF Bedford county spontaneously
given snt signal proof OF their love and respect Nor the
old statesman they did Saturday last From
tain and valley from hill top and plain from every nook
and Of the county they pouring to take him

his old friends know Mr. Buchanan 10 be deeply grate
full having frequently heard him remark that he could
never forget the uniform kindncss extended to him by
people.
The dinner given this occasion by Cod, Hafer was
excellent and everything else connected with the affair
passed OF pleasantly.

Of the election in Kansas in tho way Of news and ex

that the people voting preferred to remain in short

votes cast is considerably larger than we had antic
pated, indicating, of course, larger population in
tho Territory than the census Of common rumor had
reported We referred to the fact, well known to
ms ALL that the present is time Of considerable pc
cuniary pressure, especially in the new States
where there is always strained effort to make ono
dollar do the business of two or three. This cons;d
