these United States.
Some people do not like this, as is very nat

by that circumstance. We know how to syn.

ii. Nay, We hold With Jefferson to the snalien-
aGle right Of communities to alter or abolish
foms OF government that have become oppres-
size or Injurious; and If the Gotten States shall
become satisfied that they can do better out Of
the Union than in it, we insist on letting them
go in peace. The right to secede may be a
revolutionary. one, but it exists nevertheless;
ard we do not see how one party can have
right to do what another party has right to
prevent. We must ever resist the asserted
right Of any State to remain in the Union and
nullify or defy the laws thereof: to withdraw
from tho Union is quite another matter. And
whenever a considerable section of our Union
shall deliberately resolve to 60 out, we shall
resist all coefcive measures designed to keep it
in. We hope never to live in republic where
Of one section is pinned to the residue by bay
onets.
But while we thus uphold the practical lib
eEty if not the abstract right of secession, we
must insist that the step be taken, if it ever
shall be, with the deliberation and gravity be-
fitting so momentous an issue. Let ample time
be given for reflection; let the subject be fully
canvassed before the people; and let popular
vote be taken in everv case before secession is
decrced. Let the people be told jus: why they
are urged TO break up the confederation; let
them have both sides Of the question fully pre-
sented; let them reflect, deliberate, then vote;
and let the act of secession be the echo of an
unmistakablc popular fat. A Judgement thus
rendered, demand for separation so backed,
would either be acquiesced in without the effu-
sion of blood. or those who rushed upon carnage
to defy and defeqt it would place themselves
clearly ia the wrong.
The measures now being inanguratei 10 the
Cotton States with view (apparentlyl to Sc
eession, seem to US destitute Of gravity and
legitimate force. They bear the unmistakeable
impress of haste of passion---of distrnst of
the popular judgment. They seem clearly
intended TO pree:Litate the South into rebellion
before the baselessness Of the cauors which
| have misle1 aud excited her, can be ascertained
by the great body Of her people. We trust
! that :hey will be confronted with camness, with
dignity, and With uuwayering trust in the inhe-
rent strength of the Union and the loyalty Of
the American People.

The most stupendous and andacious frauds
were perpetrated by the Black Republican

ton acted as watcher at one Of Tie precincts,
there we're at least 10000 fraudulent votes
polled for the Republican candidates. This
was done by importing votes from New Jersey
and New England, and having their names put
upon the Ten Day List. In Bradford, Tioga
and Erie counties, thousands of votes were
cast for Curtin, by persons shipped over from
New York. In Allegheny aud Lancaster
counties the same gamo was played. The vote

Mr.. LINCOLN ON ELECTION DAY.-The
election IN Springfield, Illinois, on Tuesday
week, was quietly conducted, notwithstanding
the heavy importations of Nominal residents to
overcome the expected Republican majority.
MIR. Lincoln had passed most of tho day in
the Governors House, receiving numerous yis-
itors, entertaining them with discussions upon
various topics, not exclusively political, but
sometimes humorously touching upon matters
as foreign to the business of the day as the
splitting Of rails. The city has beon enlyen-
ed with the performances of rowing bands Of
music, discharges of cannon, aud other mani
festations of popular feeling.
The multitude at the Court House, where
the polls are ixed, was very great during the
forenoon and the early part of the afternoon,
but toward three o'clock it diminished suffi-
cently to allow tolerable free passage. Mr.
Lincoln, who had intended to delay voting till
five O'Clock, was consulted to take advantage
OF this opportunity. He accordingly, after
surveying the Court House, and the crowd
surrounding it, from his window, aud stopping
a moment to read fragment of good news
sent him from New York 5y Simeon Draper,
started out, accompanied By few of his more
Immediate associates, and walked leisurely
over to deposit his vote. He was not observ-
cd BY the masses until he reached the Court
House steps, bat at that momcns be was sud-
denly salutod with the widest outbursts Of ou-
thusiasm ever yielded by popular asseal-
blsge.
All party feelings seemed to be forgotten,
aud even the distributors of opposition tickets
joined in the overwhelming demonstrations of
greeting. Mr.. Lincoln paesed through the
hall and up the stairs without impeachment, but
on reaching the court room the crowd gather

bedford COUNTY.

We this week publish the official returna Of
1t VIII De seen thst Lincoln carries the Gnnnty
by a majority of 2SI votes over the Reading
electoral ticket, and by majority of 181
votes over all opposition This is truly graf
flying. Our County now stands redeemed,
regeuerated and disenthralled, and we mean to
keep il SO. All that is needed for our friends,
hereafter, is to vote, as we have the numbers.
At the October election, Foster had 2561
votes, and Curtin had 2464. Fosters majori-
ty was 97 At the election for President,
Lincoln had 2505 yotes--a gain Of 41-aud
oil opposition 1924 votes-a less of 237.
Although we have an apparent gain of Al
votes, and the opposition loss OF 227, yet
this is not correct. The loss on our side, we
believe, was as great as that Of the oppose
tion. Many of our voters stayed at home, un-
der the belief that evory ything was secure, and
that their voles were not needed. Our gain
and part of the opposition loss, occurred by
men voting fer Lincoln, that voted against US
for Governor. We know of dozen such in
Bedford Township, ond there were others all
over the County.

The splendid Democratic union majority of 29.-

by the avalanche of Black Republicansm from
the middle, wessern, aud northern parts Of the
State; and if so, We have nothing TO do but to
submit, with the best grace We can. The vote
OF the Empire State, added to those of other
States which may be considered sure for Lin
coin, makes it all but certain that be will be-

otherwise. Let Us hope for the best"
