The Committee having retired, Judge WlL ji.,r being called for, addressed the Convention. ! At tin- conclusion of his remarks, E. O. Goon-1 mm from the committee, itiade the following rejiort : luesdrrd, That wc approve the actiou of ;:ic R. publican Convention held at Pittsburg, ~ii the 22d of February last, to consolidate the imeats of opposition to the extension of Sla rv into one political party ; and we adopt > die basis of our political action the principles then laid down, to wit ], We demand aud shall attempt to secure •lie repeal of all laws which allow the intro iitinn of slavery into territories once conse . rated to freedom, and will resist by every cou oitutiomil means tltc existence of slavery in ,;i;v of the territories of tlie United States, i We will support by every lawful means :r brelltren in Kansas in their constitutional . id manly resistance to tlie usurped authority j t!law less invaders, and will give the full weight of our jtolitieal power iu favor of tin mediate admission of Kansas to the Union a free, sovereign, independent State. Believing that the present national ad i.iiii.-tratioii lias shown itself to be weak and hirlilesv. ai.d that its ontiuuaoce iu power Is e-nti*i* d vrith the progress of the slave powei ' i national *upreniaey, with tlie exclusion of \ •recdorn from the territory, and with increas- j u civil discord, it is a leading purpose of our organization to opjtose and overtfirow it. [bedred, That xve accept tlie issue forced •ij .'ii us bv the Slave power, and will resist to 11:1? utmost of our abilities, the effort to make Slavery National ; believing as we do tliat Freedom is necessary for the virtue, iutelli gciice and happiness of our posterity, and for ;-ix' perpetuity and progressed our country and its institutions. Hfsilr-fl, That in the attempt now making to force Slavery upon the settlers of Kansas bv the General Government, with the aid of tlie arm- of the country, we recognize a portion of :r scheme which seeks to make the "peculiar institution " an offspring of (MnstitiTcm-y. His selection for ' ! eh vated and resjwnsiljle positiou he now was due alike to his high Congressional r, j ntution, and his consistency and devotion to the cause of human rights.

The object is to ■' n, l of him on the ground that lie puts the to an unnecessary expense by keeping ' ourt open six months at a time when ' " 's no justification for it.

Affairs in Kansas. ST. LOT IS, Apfil 29. —The St. Louis Demo crut publishes H letter from Kansas dated the 29th, which says that while sheriff Jones was sitting in a tent of soldiers, he was shot by a party outside, and dangerously wounded.— Jones had made twelve arrests duriug the day, assisted by a company of dragoons. Much ex citement prevailed in regard to the affair.— The perpetrator was unknown. Tlie situation of Sheriff Jones was very critieai. The congressional investigating committee commenced its sessions at Lawrence on the 23rd instant. ST. LOUIS, May 3, 1860. The Republican's West port correspondent has received a letter from Dr. M'Kee, the phy sician of Sheriff Jones, dated the 29th nit., which says that the symptoms of the Sheriff are favorable, aud that hopes are entertained of his recovery also, that Col. Sumner ar rived at Lawrence tlie day before, with his whole coram a luf, and severely threatened the people for firing the tent of his lieutenant. Gov. Robinson charged the act on the Pro- Slavery party. Col. Sumner denied this, and said if things were left fo him lie would quick ly settle tlie matter. The correspondent of The Democrat writes that Sheriff Jones removed from Lawrence to Franklin on the 24th, accompanied by Messrs. String-fellow and Whitfield, who said they dax , ed not remain in Lawrence | Mr. Striugfellow went before the Cominit- I tee of Investigation and demanded if lie had j the right to appear himself or by counsel to introduce testimony, examine witnesses. &c. Mr. Howard, Chairman, refused the demand on the ground that the object of the Commit tee's coming would thereby be defeated, as the result would not be ail investigation on their part, but an inqnisitvon by everybody, i The sanie letter states that the Deputy- Sheriff of Douglas County is having writs is -1 sued for the arrest of 100 citizens of Lawrence, charged with the commission of crime under the Territorial Jaws. A standing army will be stationed a£ Law rence until ail the arrests are made. The pri soners will be conveyed to Lecompton. Doujlas' Donation. In respect to the gift of Douglas to the Baptist denomination of Chicago, valued at $50,000, we find in the Chicago Democrat of Saturday, the following explanation : This is the old story which Douglas lias set afloat several times liefore. Douglas owns a large tract of land ahout half a mile south of the city limits, arid to in crease its value, has tried to give away these ten acres several times before. Speculators in land know how to do these things The expenditure required would great ly enhance the value of what remains of his tract. Douglas offered it to the Presbyterians, but they were persuaded tlu.it they could do better elsewhere. The value of the land we sec Is set dowu at $5,000 per acre. We have sixty acres in the vicinity, cqaUy as well located, for which we should like to get $'2,000 an acre, which is about a fair price for laud in that neighbor hood. But Douglas expects that if splendid build ings arc erected there, that balance will be brought up to $5,000 per acre, and thus lie will make a nice speculation out of his " liber ality." It is to he called the" Douglas University," says his pap.et. Perhaps so. Nothing would more Surely kill it before it is alive*! It is also stated that subscriptions to the amount of sloo,ooo for the erection of the buildings have been made. If so, our Bap tist friends have, in this, done enough for Doug las., witlhout giving a " crushing" name to the Institution. But we infer from Douglas' want of success previously in giving away this land under the conditions he imposed, that it has not now been accepted ; but that it was thought the announcement would make a nice item j'ust before the Cincinnati Convention. ANOTHER BATTLE WITH FLORIDA INDIANS.— The Florida papers contain an account of an other engagement between I . S. troops and about 100 Indians. The hitter were put to flight, but their loss is unknown. On the part of the troops the loss was Private John Siniius Co. L, 2d Art'y, mortally wounded, (survived about fifteen minutes ; Corporal Joseph Car s HI, Privates John Muller, John Strobel, Co. C, 2d Art'y, and Thos. Newton, Co.
