The free state men of Kansas have resolved , ~t to submit to this dangerous usurpation of .„n resident obligarchy.

Kansas will be left to anarchy. The slavery i at is there will Hoe from it, aud perhaps even the slave projierty of western Missouri give way under the panic, and seek safety in the cotton fields and sugar plantations of Texas. It has been the common opinion with thought le— jie-rsoiis and thick-headed bullies at the \\ -t. that the northern and eastern men will not light. Never was a greater iuis- r take. The sons of New England and off the middle states do not like to fight. They ! u .,„1,l rather work, plough, build towns, rail"-/ punk make money and raise families, than 1 ; lint light they will, if need be. Rc viemher. the sons of New England shed the ; r .t blni.nl in the American Revolution, and ; v were the last to furl their flags in the terrible struggle. They have never disgraced •! ;r country by cowardice, and they will not. Thev are Americans, with spirit, courage, en iranee and deep love of liberty to animate ti.eai. The free state men in Kansas will fight brf.ire thev will be disfranchised and trampled tit Hiti. Mark the word.

Once light the fires of in ; rerneeinc war in defense of slavery, aud it will ji rish while you defend it. Slave-holders will not stay to meet the tight. Property is : i. and the slaves will be sent to Texas, to >■ in a " safe state" while the fight lasts ; and r <non as the slaves arc gone it will be found ■ ' M'srouri baa nothing to fight about, and fight will end " before it begins." T lis the slave propagandists who repealed the Missouri compromise to make Kansas a doe state will make Missouri free ; aud in . ,ravoring to expel abolitionism from Kansas • -y will lind both Kansas and Missouri with ;.u entire free white population—worth more • > the two states than all the ncgros in Ameri ca. Is not the Kansas outrage the suicide of d:ivcry ? Have not the people of Missouri, interested in the preservation of Slavery in the Niite. brought themselves into a desperate pre •tament by following the insane counsels of Atchison and Stringfellow ! The Disintegration of Parties. The cohesion of parties seems to he growing fiiere and more loose, as certain topics which V 're n<it noticed in the political creeds of the ' <1 party divisions arc more and more disenss '!. New-papers which sneer against fusion yi't propose fusions of their own—coalitions of members of the old parties for particular " idons. The I'ennsylranuin, for example, a Tilts administration paper—the peculiar or - i. in fact, of Mr. Pierce's administration I ir the State of Pennsylvania—hitherto most led in its detestation of the whigs, pro- I - a union, or, in the phrase of the day, a n of the democrats and National whigs of I d adelphia, for the sake of carrying the elec- I ! 'i m i) -toiler, suggesting that the candidates - iM lie taken from each party in proportion I its numbers. The other day Mr. Pierce --•'lf. at the White Sulphur Springs, gave a -irkable example of the propensity to fusion di characterizes the times, by pronouncing I <• eulogy on the purity and wisdom of • frier's administration, which the derno ■ party of that day so emphatically re . ■ ati-il. lut which is now held up by a dem- B , President as a pattern of statesmanship. ■ •lassaehiisetts many of the most distinguish | 1 "f the democratic party have taken y -round that there are questions now before 1 I""pie in regard to which the old distinc party must no longer be regarded.— ' ri "' r l>outwell, it seems, has taken part ■ '. ir of the fusion movement in that state. | !

Iu its issue y: it says : I 'Tip w ■ ; ' mg iuid democratic parties arc gone. the former is extinct, ■ :- ' lt J" the latter no longer represents ■ . jj w which gave it birth. Daring "t M vvion of congress, with an orer y - imxTatie majority in both houses, , I a project to modify the tariff was rejected ; i the French spoliation bill, the harbor improve ment bill and the Dix lunatic bill, were passed aud, but for the Presidential veto, would have become the laws of the land, to the waste of the public money and the disgrace of the dem i ocratic creea. And the Collins bill, as flagrant a piece of legalized swindling as was ever per petrated, was finally passed, over and in spite of Mr. Pierce's veto. The strange and startling spectacle was presented of a party President compelled to resist a party's violations of its ' own principles—of a democratic President op posing the wild, wasteful and corrupt measures of the democratic party. " Now, what does all this teach ? What, but that the old party questious are buried— or, rather, that fixed constitutional principles no longer form the lights of party action, and that the federal government is the convenient instrument of the numerical majority, regard less of right or of the constitution. There is but a single question now upon which parties can be rallied—a question unlike all others which have arisen in the government, not na tional, but simply and nakedly sectional—the question of slavery. A thousandfold more in tense than in 1847. Abolition has shattered every organization, democratic, whig and Know-Nothing,which dared oppose its progress and subordinated every other party principle to the one absolute test. It matters not what position may be assumed upon other questions —the party which bids for northern support, most, on this, bow before fanaticism. Can any national party, therefore, command success at the North, upon terms short of a surrender and betrayal of the South ? Can the demo cratic party do it, withered and shrivelled up as it is by the breath of freesoil ? Must not a question, purely sectional, of necessity make parties sectional also ? Ought not the union of the North for aggression, compel a union I of the South for resistance ?" f We marvel that the Mercury should speak ' of the union of the North against the South, f The geographical division of parties began at the South, and the reason whv there is no long er a whig or democratic party in that quarter of the Union is, that the combination of politi cians for the protection of local interests was formed there at an early period, and lias broken up the old parties. The South has been united against the North for some years past. It pre sented a common front against the North iu the enactment of Fugitive Slave bill. It has united against the North forcing the Nebraska act —the immediate cause of the present agita tion—through the two houses of Congress.— At this moment it is united against the North in encouraging and upholding as right the profli gate and brutal proceedings of the Missouriaus in Kansas. Not a syllable in reprobation of these outrages has been uttered at any public meeting of the citizens of the South. The South is united against the North in maintaining the doctrine of the nationality of slavery— a doc trine which carries that institution where the federal constitution has force, not only into the territories, but even into the free states. —• The unanimity of the South on these {mints is so general, and has endured so long, that it has weaned nieu from old party associates. At the North there is by no means the same universal agreement in opinion and feeling. If the con viction has arisen among any very large number that u new party organization has become necessary to protect the free states against these agressions, it is of late origin, and has but just begun to influence the minds of the majority.— E vc ii ing I'dst. Startling Scene in the Slave Case Pennsylvania Aroused. I'nn. ADELPHIA, Thursday, Aug. 30, 1855. Quite a thrilling scene took place in Judge Kelly's Court to-day during the trial of the Wheeler case. Yesterday the counsel for the Commonwealth had it all their own way, and their testimony went far to show that the wo man Jane was forced away against her will that of Col. Wheeler was especially full aud circumstantial, to this effect : In the absence of the woman, the only person competent to testify fully to the question of voluntariness, the Colonel could afford to be particularly strong ; but, presto ! in the midst of proceed ings this forenoon Jane Johnson appeared in court. She came escorted by an officer and accompanied by Mrs. Mott, McKim, Miss Pugh and Mrs. lMumby. She was put on the stand, and her testimony utterly and entirely destroyed that of Col. Wheeler and his wit nesses. Her evideuce was elear and just to the point, reiterating in the most satisfactory manner all she had said in her affidavit at New York. Rut it was a bold and perilous move on the part of her friends, and the deepest apprehen sions were felt for awhile for the result. The United States Marshal was there with his warrant and an extra force to execute it. The officers of the Court and other State officers were there to protect the witness and vindicate the laws of the State. Vandyke, the United States District-Attorney, swore he would take her. The State officers swore he should not, and for awhile it seemed that nothing could avert a bloody scene. It was expected that the conflict would take place at the door when she should leave the room, so that when she and her friends went out, and for some time after, the most intense susjeuse pervaded the court-room. She was however allowed to en ter the carriage that waited for her without disturbance. She was accompanied by Mr. McKim, Secretary of the Anti-Slavery Socie ty ; Lucretia Mott and George Corson, one of our most manly and intrepid police officers.— The carriage was followed by another filled with officers as a guard, and thus escorted she was taken back in safety to the house from which she had been brought, ller title to freedom under the laws of the State will hard ly again be brought into question. Great credit is due to Win. 1. Mann, act ing attorney-general, for the manner in which he has behaved in this case. He has done much to vindicate the honor of the State aud the sanctity of the court of which he is an officer. Judge Kelly, too, has behaved with great dignity and impartiality. After the conclusion of the summing up and speeches Judge Kelley charged the Jury as follows : GKXTLEMKN' OF THE JCRY : N: ou are about to conclude the trial of these men for riot and assault and battery. Did these parties com mit a riot or an assault ? This case is very important in its relations, however trivial iu itself ;it has caused much excitement. Non and I ought to be free from this—l trust we are. You must be satisfied of guilt beyond a manly, reasonable doubt before conviction of these defendants. The legal statutes of the parties is a matter of inquiry ill this case. The Judge read from the books the law upon the case of riot, You must determine whuth er those men went to do a lawful or an unlaw ful act. Happily, as the question is an im portant oue, I am not called to consider this question hastily, but after much thought day and night. When Jane was brought here by Coh Wheeler she and her children were as free as he was. We recognize the right of return ing slaves who escape and come here—we must stand by and enforce the laws of our own State. I accept as part of my charge the law as given you by the District-Attorney. The Judge then read the act of 1780, and also the act of March 3, 1847. A man may bring his slave into this State, but he makes him a free man thereby, for he may not detain him any time whatever. A slave cannot, by virtue of the laws of this State, remain upon its soil. The object of the act was to remove every law from the statue book from which in genuity could make it appear that Slavery could in any way exist here. A riot is a con spiracy, with the element of tumult, calculated to inspire terror. It requires three people, with a common intent and conduct that causes terror. I shall not recall the evidence—the facts are for you. You will ask, Did these men go to the boat with a lawful purpose ? Did the woman desire their assistance? or did they forcibly abduct her ? If she did want to go you must judge of the amount of force used. If you are satisfied that they only went to tell Jane she was free, and conduct her to a place of safety, and acted peacefully, you cannot find them guilty. The Judge defined an assault and battery. It is any violent or offensive laying hands on a person. It cannot be denied that hands were laid on Col. Wheeler but it is claimed by the defense that the im position of hands was only of that gentle char acter which the law recognizes. The evidence regarding the threat was then examined by Judge Kelley. If you find the common intent you will convict all—if you do not, you will inquire what violent act was committed, aud by whom, and render a verdict accordingly.— The case is now with you, gentlemen.

Means then read for the consideration of the Convention, the following resolutions, which on motion were adopted, with but two dissenting voices : Resolved, That we do not deem it necessary to reiterate upon each anniversary of our nominating Convention, the well defined and long established creed of the Democratic Party, that it is the party of progress and the one under which our country has risen to her present strength and prosperity ; and although its policy may for a time Ih> misunderstood, yet it has always been found right in the end. and calculated to promote the welfare and rights of the majority. Resolved, That we are most decidedly opposed to the illegal, and violent interference of the citizens of Missouri in the affairs of Kansas, and ludd their conduct as unjusti fiable and subversive of the peace and good morals of the country. Resolved, That our best wishes arc for the freedom of that territory, and our sympathies are hereby extended to its citizens iii their present struggle for the principles set forth in their organic laws. Resolved, That we repudiate the allegation that the De mocratic party is the advocate of slavery, and that we re pel the slander as a foul libel on our creed ; that our best hopes are for the spread of free principles throughout the world. Resolved, That the attempt to proscribe men because of their foreign birth, or peculiar religious views, is ab liorent to our feelings, aud meets with our unqualified condemnation. Resolved, That the so-called Republican party is a con solidation of all the isms and factions that disgrace Ameri can politics—a heterogenous mass, wanting capacity to direct, or principles to govern, and without any object to attain except the defeat of the Democratic party and its candidates, and that we recognize in the embryo " Fusion party - ' of this country the same faction, alike destitute of principles, blindly subservient to policy, and having for its only end atul aim, the personal aggrandisement of its leaders. Resolved, That we liail the nomination of the Hon. AR NOLD BUMMER for Canul Commissioner as a good omen for the future. His practical business habits eminently qualify hint for the post: and his irreproachable charac ter, morally and politically, entitle him to the respect and confidence of honest men of all parties. Resolved, That we will use every honorable means to seenre the election of the ticket nominated this day, and believing our nominees every way worthy of the support of all who hold similar views with us, we hereby invite liberal men of all parties to aid us in securing their elec tion. F. Smith, Esq., offered the following resolution which was unanimmisly adopted : Resolved, That the annual appropriation made from time to time by the Legislature of Pennsylvania for the support of Common Schools, ought to lie appropriated for the education of children : And therefore, the office of County Superintendent should be abolished.
