Latest from Kansas. A citizen of Kansas who loft Topcka, on <!. .'hi in t , and Leavenworth on the 4th, <■ liiod on w yesterday. He says that the I rue S 4 ate Legislature was prevented from a sere- Ling on the 4th in.-t.. pursuutit to adjourn ment, hy the United States tftops under Col. Sumner. He told the peoj L that he had positive orders from President Pierce to arrest and break up the Legislature if the members attempted to convene, and that his orders must be enforced. He was also under orders from the Executive to disperse, disarm and ar rest any gathering of Free State people that might assemble to celebrate the Fourth of July ! He was at the head of 4GO United States dra goons, and an equal number of iulantry aud artillerists. The result was that the members of the Free State Legislature were uaable to meet. It was deemed best to succumb to the United States army, postpone the assembling, and await the verdict of the American peo] le at the polls uext November. Had the United States dragoons not interfered, the Free State men *erc resolved to hold their Legislative meet ing in spite of the Border Ruffians, and were prepared to give the vidians a warm reception. Our informant says that murders are still very frequent in the Territory; that an offi cer under Sumner told him that that the dra goons had picked op and buried a great uum ber within a few weeks. The bodies of thirty-two murdered men were found on tiic rends, several of whom were par tially devoured by the wolves. It is some satisfaction to learn, however, ihat they were l.ot all Free-State meu who had thus fallen : but that many plundering ruffians had been made to bite the dust for their crimes. He tells us that the wheat harvested is ex cellent, though not very large in quantity in cousequenCe of the disturbed state of the Ter ritory ; that the corn crop looks most luxu riant, and will be abundant in some districts, if tiie people are permitted by the Ruffians to gather it. We further learn from him that the news of the nomination of C'ol. Fremont, and a pe rusal of the Republican Platform, set the whole Free-State people wild with delight, and in spired every man with new courage and hope that the day of deliverance from the reigu of terror, and the gripe of the oppressor was drawing nigh. Prayers go up nightly to hea ven from thousands of women and children, on the plains of Kansas, for the election of Fremont. A strong faith inspires them that he will be the next President ; and that tlie black cloud of Slavery will be succeeded by the bright sun of Freedom, Peace aud Pros perity.— Chicago Tribune. ANOTHER MARTYR. —What attractive and beneficent institutions they have in Missouri ! How slavery beautifies and adorns it! With out slavery there would be no chance for mar ty dcni. and moral and physical heroism ! Methodist Ministers especially seem to have a hard time there : that is, Ministers who be long to the Northern branch of the church.— Preachers of the church South, are welcomed as brothers, beloved even by such saints as Atchison and Stringfellow. The latest ac count of sLivehoMing chivalry and of respect to freedom of speech and conscience we ha ve, is of the tarring and feathering of the Methodist Minister in charge of the Northern Methodist church in Rochester, Andrew eo., Missouri. The " law and order''citizens of that place met together, and declared it to lie their will tliat the Methodist Minister should be silenced. lie was accordingly asked to desist from preaching, but he would not comply, and the St. Joseph Gazette informs us that •' as the penalty of his temerity he wu>> tarred and feathered." In tue difficulty which occurred, another man named Holland, on " Abe.iit.ou ibty' was killed. A series of resolutions was adopted, declaring that every Northern .Meth odist Anti-SlaveQ' man in the county should be notified bv the Vigilance Committee, to pack up and leave, " and in the event of their refusal, the committee to make report of the same to this meeting, at which time this meet ing will take such measures as may be most expedient for their immediate expulsion from our midst." Go on, ruffians. The North has been so long demoralized by Doughfaeeisra, and un ion-saving orators and preaching that it re quires a severe lesson to awaken the people to a just sense of their degredation at the feet of slavery. Nearly every provision of the con stitution has been set at naught, actually and practically, or by connivance, by the present administration, and the rights of the people in every walk of life are daily being stricken down, and still the people of the Free States are quiet and patient. Thank God that there is, however, now heard the niutterings of the thunder which precedes a fearful storm—fear ful for those who have wantonly thrown down the barriers which our fathers had set for the protection and defence of the rights and liber ties of all.— Pittslurg Gazette. Mr The Border-Ruffians have their politi cal preferences, as a matter of course, and it so happens that the great mass of them are for Buchanan. It is natural that they should be, since Border-lluffianism has teen incorpo rated into the Cincinnati platform. A gentle man of Illinois, a democrat named J F Bliss, was in Kansas at the time the news of Bu chanans nomination was i\reived, and he thus states how it was received : I was in Col. Rich's store at Fort Leaven worth, Kansas Territory, on Friday June 13th, 1856, and listened to a conversation between Judge Lecompte and some other gentleman, unknown to me, relative to Gov. Robinson and the other prisoners, and, likewise the policy of President Pierce in regard to Kansas affairs. One of the gentleman expressed fears as to the orthodoxy of Mr. Buchanan on the Slavery question. Lecompte replied that ho had let ters from some, of Buchanan's friends, and that he was all right on the "Goose," and that he would pursue the same policy that Pierce had, but that it must be kept still in order to carry Pennsylvania and New-York ; and, said Le compte, " lie will fooHold Boeder into support ing him, too ! Old Bitch is all right, boys, don't fear." Atchison, Stringfellow, Jones, Lecompte, Shannon and their ruffian colleagues all enter heartily into the support of " Old Buck so <to Herbert, the murderer, Brooks, the coward ly bully.

T 4- - - Shall a Man be a Catholic Against His Will ? [from ihe Independent] j Political heats are apt to hatch out false | hoods as tropical heats do venomous insects. But Christian men should be especially care ful that they do not couoteuanee or propagate such falsehood. At this time many newspapers recklessly charge Col. Fremont with being a Roman Catholic. Though it nas been authoritative ly contradicted, it still contiuues to be assert ed, and iu very positive and impudeut forms. We have taken pains to inform ourselves in this matter, and now state to the Christian public the simple truth, that good men, at least, may cease to bear false witness. Col. Fremont was blessed with a mother of devoted piety. She was a member of the Epis copal Church, St. Philip's, Charleston S. C., and reared her son iu her own faith. Indeed, until lie was fourteen, Col. Fremont was edu cated iD the hope and expectation that he would become an Episcopal minister. At sixteen, he was confirmed in the Episcopal Church, and has, ever since, when within reach of the church, been an attendant and commu nicant. And since his tcmpojary sojourn in New-York, he has been an attendant at Dr. | Antlion's church, until recently : and now he worships at Grace church. Mrs. Fremont was reared strictly in the Presbyterian Church, and united with the Episcopal Church upon her marriage with Col. Fremont. Their children have been baptized in the Episcopal Church. It is said that a daughter has been sent to a Catholic institution for education. So far from it, she lias never been sent away from home at all, bnt has been educated by her own mother. It is well known that Mrs. Fremont is the daughter of Col. Benton, and that, at the time, her father was opposed to her marriage. Col. Fremont personally solicited several Pro testant clergymen to perform the marriage ceremony, but on account of Col. Benton's op position to it, they were unwilling to do it.— A female friend, in this exigency, said that she could find a clergyman who would aid without fear, and brought in a Catholic clergyman, who married them. Like a true lover and gallant man,Fremont said that he did not care who did it, so that it was done quick and strong. Had we been in Col. Fremont's place, we would have been married if it had required us to walk through a row of priests and bishops as long as from Washington to Rome, wind ing up with the Pope himself. Is it not ludicrous to see a class of citizens so terribly frightened at the spread of Cathol icism, and dreading the evils of Papacy above all tilings, seizing a quiet Protestant gentle man, and insis'ing upon it that he shall be a Catholic > In vain he struggles and protests ; Catholic he shall be, whether he will or not! " But, gentlemen, I do not believe in the doc •' trines ; I was reared by a Protestant mo *' thcr, in a Protestant church ; I have mar " ried a Protestant wife ; my children have " had Protestant baptism ; we and they at " tend Protestant worship, and we are, both " by education and conviction, Protestants.— " You must excuse us, but we cannot be Cath " olios." The eager gentlemen will not be baffled. " You shall be Catholics ; you are " Catholics : we will have you Catholics ; all '• that you say may be true, in some myste " rious manner ; you are Catholics, and we will '• have it so !'' Poor Col. Fremont. We do not see how he will get over it ! These ter rible Protestants of The Erpress arc out with <avord and pen, determined that he shall be a Catholic !— Henru Ward Beecher. THE ST.'TK ELECTIONS, this year, take place as follows.—On the fourth of August, Kentucky, Alabama, Texas, Missouri, and Arkansas vote, and on the seventh of August, North Carolina and Tennessee, thus making seven of the South ern States in the first week of that month The only others of that section which vote before the occurrence of the Presidential elec tion, will be Georgia and Florida on the sixth of October, South Carolina on the fourteenth of the same mouth. In the early part of Au gust therefore, the Presidential contest will as sume a definite shape. Those seven States have all been confidently claimed as favorable to the election of Fillmore and Donelson. Indeed, they are the most favorable of all the South, except Maryland and Louisiana. Should they be carried by the Democratic party, it will be plain enough to everybody that the contest for Fillmore will be hopeless. But if, on the other hand, the Americans should carry those States, the prospect will be equally, if not more, discouraging for Buchanan, who. unless he carries nearly all the South, is pretty sure of defeat. Vermont votes on the second of September. California on the fourth, and Maine 011 the eighth. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana vote un the fourteenth of Octo ber.

FREMONT'S letter, accepting the nomination of the Repub lican party for President. We commend it to the perusal of our readers. It is just sueli a document as we should expect to emanate from him—modest, unassuming, temperate, yet dig nified and emphatic in its tone. With nothing to conceal, this letter meets the questions of the day, in a broad and comprehensive spirit, as extensive as our land. There is a refreshing contrast between Col. FREMONT'S letter of acceptance, and the posi tions assumed by the opposing candidates. The Republican leader succumbs to no narrow and sectional views, but pledges himself to admin ister the government without partisan or sec tional bias, and with a regard for the welfare of the whole country. The only truly "Na tional" party (as is now the somewhat fashion able term) that presents a candidate fur the suffrages of the people, is the Republican.— That party would advance our National inter ests in the widest and most beneficent degree. To extend the area of Freedom—to secure the blessings of liberty to generations yet to come. —to advance the prosperity ami peace of the countn —is surely National in the highest sense—and such is the aim of the Republican party. Is Slavery National ? Are the efforts now making to extend and perpetuate that in stitution such as should commend themselves to the support of freemen ? Are the outrages perpetrated on account of Slavery calculated to promote our progress as a Nation, and to cement the bond of our Union ? If not, then no party should claim to be National whose success would be a victory for slavery, and would embolden that fell power to renewed outrages on the rights of freemen. The election of JOHN C. FREMONT and the ascendancy of the principles lie has asserted, would bring our government back to the doc trines and practices of its founders. From the maxims and precepts of the founders of the Nation and framers of its Constitution, the Republican creed is gathered. If the men whose blood achieved our Independence, and whose wisdom and counsels united the Repub lic, were National in their feelings and views, then the Republican party is the true National party of the country. Our readers will not find a word in Col. FRK MONT'S letter tlmt should not meet with hearty concurrence in every part of the Union. Fifty years ago, there would have been no dissent from it. lint since that day, Slavery has grown arrogant and intolerant, and where it is powerful, allows no one to question all the demands its most fanatical and sectional adhe rents may set up. The men of the South who deprecated the institution which thry saw was a i ancer in their midst, are gone, and in their place, has arisen those who are filled with schemes of personal aggrandizement, to be achieved by virtue of the power now wielded by Slavery. It remains for the Freemen of the country, to arrest the tide which is fust sweeping us on to barbarism and dissolution. The preponder ance of Slavery in the Republic, will bring a series of calamities which must sooner or later rend the Union into fragments. The power of slavery may for a time reduce the whites to a condition of vassalage, but the teachings of history learn us that sooner or later the op pressed will strike for freedom. In that day, should it come, no vestige of human bondage will remain upon this continent. Rut toavoid this degraded condition, and it consequent i< now easy. It is to stop the spread of slavery to put a check to its arrogant as sumption?. It is to be seen whether the Ameri can people will now do this, by the election of FKKMONT, or leave to their descendants the du ty of again conquering for themselves their In dependence. VIRGINIA TOLERATION. Among the delegates from Slave States to the late People's Convention at Philadelphia was Mr. J. C. Underwood of Clarke county, Virginia, who made a brief speech thereat, evincing his devotion to the common cause. — Traveling leisurely homeward after the adjourn ment of the Convention, he was met at Wash ington by intelligence that his attendance and remarks as a Delegate had greatly ilicensed his neighbors and caused a fierce excitement throughout the county, and that he must not venture to return to his home ! Finding on inquiry that there was no mistake in this in formation, he stopped at Washington and sent a friend (Gen. Francis E. Spinner, M. C. from Herkimer Co. iu New-York) for his family.— Gen. Spinner started last Friday morning— a noble way of spending the Fourth of July —and returned the next evening with Mr. Underwood's family. Mr. Underwood, in a letter of Monday last to The Evening Post says : " I ant not a planter, for the sweat of un paid labor has never moistened my fields, and. while I should be unwilling to acknowledge any man master, I would scorn to call any man slave. One month ago, I supposed I owned 800 acres of Virginia soil, but perhaps the respectable gentlemen who have driven me from the State have confiscated my property by a new code established very recently. My wife, who reached me on Saturday evening, in forms me that when she appealed to the res pectable gentlemen, who demanded either my blood or banishment from the State, to know •what law of Virginia I had violated, they re plied to her that they did not know that I had broken any law, but that I had broken the " rules of Virginia." Now, as I am not ac quainted with these " rules of Virginia," J think it very possible that they may apply to property as well as personal freedom. It seems to me tiiat confiscation is just as suita ble a " rule " as exile, to apply to freedom of opinion. One of the old rules of Virginia, as I had supposed was free speech, and, in the language of Jefferson, I had thought that oven "error of opinion might be salely tolerated " where reason is left free to combat it." *****" My poor wife was almost broken down with loss of sleep and excitement, having been haunted for two weeks with visions of murder and assassination. She is now, however, much improved by the rest of a quiet Sabbath, and by the generous sympa thy which has seemed to breathe like a new atmosphere around her. " We intend to leave this city in a day or two, seeking a temporary refuge in some of the quiet hills of the Free North. Yours truly, " J. C. Us*r>F.!twoon." SENATOR IIANI.TX ox COT.. FREMONT. —The following extract from the speech of Hannibal Hamlin, the Democratic Senator from Maine, who repudiates Buchanan and the Cincinnati platform, at the late Fremont Ratification meeting in Worcester, bears valuable testimo ny to the character and principles of the peo ple's candidate : '• Who is John C. Fremont ? He is the first man who discovered the interior of this continent, scaled the Rocky Mountains and contributed more than any other man, toward muling California a free Stale. I know him well as a man of eminent ability, and of un blemished character and sp< tless life. When California was seeking admission into the Un ion as a State. I had occasion to confer with as to the best method to secure that result.— He was true to the right, fits language was, California must come in as a J'rcc State or not come in at all. It has been complained of Fremont that he is without sufficient antecedents, as to his po sition or qualifications, for the I'residency.— But, not only has he antecedents of the right kind, but he is an antecedent in hinself! He is a greater executive officer than any man since Andrew Jackson. John C. Fremont is anti-slavery man, and has always been one from his boyhood. Al though a native of Georgia, and brought up in South Carolina, in spite of his early acsocia tions he was ever for freedom. When em barking on his western tour, he was asked if it was his intention to purchase a slave, as a domestic for his wife. His reply was, " I ne ver owned one dollar in human Jlesh, and while reason holds its sway in my brain, I NEVER WIU. ! I love my wife with the most ardent affection, but that wife must toil with her own hands, rather than own the first dollar in hu man flesh !" From a man thus educated, and thus> true to our principles, we have the high est assurance that with him at the hehn of the government, if he can prevent it. not one inch shall slavery be extended over the national territory." Coi,. FRKMONT'S RELIGION'. —The Fillmore and Buchanan papers harp constantly on the lie of their own coiuing that Fremont is a Catholic, as if their whole salvation depended upon it. The hypocrisy of the Buchanan men in using this as an electioneering element is so loathsome that it must disgust every honorable mau in the party. The New York Courier Empurcr —a responsible authority—disposes of the matter thus : We have been authorized to say, that Col. Fremont's mother was a Prof est. ant. Episcopa lian, and that the Colonel was trained and educated in that faith ; and further, that many years since, he was confirmed by the Protestant Episcopal Bishop of South Carolina, at St. Philip's Church in Charleston—of which church his mother was a member for nearly thirty years, and in the church-yard of which she lies buried, with his brother and sister. Col. Fre mont is now a communicant in the Episcopal Church ; Mrs. Fremont belongs to the same church ; and of course, the children are all educated in the faith of their parents. It is true, that Col. Fremont was married by a Roman Catholic Priest, who kindly omit ted any questions in regard to his religion ; but this was a matter of necessity, as he married Col. Benton's daughter without the consent of her father CELEBRATION IN RIDGBERY. MR. E MITOR .- A common school celebration j was held at the Union Grove, in Itidgbery township on the Fourth day of July. A large concourse of people assembled at the school house north of the grove at 10, a. m., where a procession was formed in the following order : Ist. J. Seely, Marshal ; C. Carr, Assistant Marshal ; 2d. Music ; 3d. Soldiers of the war of 1812 ; 4th. S. Squires, President of the day ; sth. sjieakers ; 6th. Committee of Ar rangement ; 7th. Schools, each with appro priate banners ; Bth. citizens. Our arrival at the grove was announced by the roar of can non, impressing the mind with the scenes of other days. After being assembled beneath the shade of the forest trees, prayer was offered by Eld. A G. Hammond, after which the Declaration of Independence was read by C. Merrit, when Elder C. B. Palmer, of Ridgbery, honored the occasion with an interesting and timely oration. After which the company partook of an ex cellent dinner, whose variety and abundance did credit to the citizens of Ridgbery. After dinner, we reassembled at the stand, where we listened to an educational essay by Elder A. G. Hammond, ot North Chemung; at the close of which, some of the students oc cupied the stand, delivering eulogies of depart ed patriots. We did not enjoy the pleasures of the day unmindful of suffering Kansas. No ! of her afflicted people we thought, and spoke, and re duced the same to resolutions, the character of which gave evidence that Freedom yet had loving sons, and that the oppressed in Kansas yet lived in the memories of sympathizing bre thren. A. G. July 5, 1856. [For the Bradford Reporter.] Mr. EDITOR— Sir : —As you are aware from jiersonal observation, our glorious anniversary passed off to the satisfaction of all present. — John Adams has had his wish. A nation bus celebrated its birthday with bells, bonfires and cannon. The brave men who stood unflinch ingly in the day of political earthquake and eclipse eighty-one ago, have gone to their hon ored graves. A mighty change has been wrought above those heroic graves. The val or and virtue that spoke the Declaration of Independence have given life to a nation whose expansion already covers nearly half a conti nent, and extends from the Atlantic to the Pa cific. The oceau is white with our commerce. The length and breadth of our laud is studded with giant cities—and the name of America stands iu the front rank among the nations of the earth. The gratitude wc owe to the heroes who risked so much for us, can be best paid by car rying out their intentions, and enact the au gust truths of the Declaration of Independence into our national life and law. But other thoughts naturally suggest themselves to our minds. Under the present administration of uur national laws our freedom has become a problem. The freedom of speech has been denied at our Capitol. The life of any of our Represen tatives is in danger if he dares to lift his voice in favor of those principles for which our fore- fathers bled and died.—But to the object of this communication—and to show yon that the same enemy of freedom is iu Athens as well as elsewhere, the following sentiment in all hon esty and simplicity, when the Regular aud other toasts on the fourth inst. were being read, was offered : " (hir universal Yankee iXatitm —May hi-r boundaries t>e extended nor farther than her free institutions.'' As if by some preconcerted plan, several of the lea-ling democrats of this place raised ob jections to the above sentiment on the ground of its being the fourth of July, and that not a proper sentimeut for the occasion. Comment is unnecessary. Yours, truly, ATHENS. July 11, 1856. L. S. K. [For the Bradford Reporter.] At a regular meeting of " Protection Fire Company" No. 1, of Athens, Pa , held Satur day evening July 12th, the following resolu tions wore unanimously adopted : Rcsolred, That wc avail ourselves of this, the first opportunity to tender our sincere thanks to the visiting fire companies who fa vored us with their presence at the celebration in this place, on the 4tli iust., for their good order and gentlemanly conduct while here, aud we will ever cherish with pleasure the acquain tance formed with thein on that occasion. i Resolved, That we tender thanks to the | citizens of Athens for their assistance in entei \ taming our invited guests on the 4th, and their j ready response to our call for " material aid " j for the purpose of procuring a suitable banner j for the use of this Company—and we will ev r j lie ready, should occasiou require, to show our j gratitude in a more substantial form than ecu ! be expressed by words. Resolved, That we most cordially extend our [ thanks to the ladies of Athens for their assis l tance in decorating and beautifying our engi te , aud banner for our National Festival. their cheeks be lit up with colors more beauti ful than the roses with which they decora'ed our engine, and may their hearts lie kindled with a fire which can only l>e extinguished by some fortunate member of Protection Fire Com pany Resolved, That these resolutions be publish ed in the papers of Towanda, Athens and Wa verlv.

Si;,, p the nomination of Buchanan and Breckcnrid.-,. by tiie Cincinnati Convention, a Democratic County Convention was .summoned as usual in Warren county, I'a., to ratify the ticket and do other things. It was to be composed 0 r delegates elected by each township. The re sult shows how thoroughly unpopular the ti. p et and platform are in that region. Whet, the Convention met, the delegates from umbos towwsaip sent in a communication sav. ing that their constituents are of the Jeffer", nian school, and have not clianged their senti ments as to the propriety of restricting slavery to its present limits ; and that as the count"v Democratic paper had announced that such Democrats would not be allowed to run „p ori the county ticket, nor attend the Buchanan ratification meeting, they did uot wish to • ~r . ticipate in the proceedings of a convention which might commit them to the support of a ticket on the Cincinnati platform. They therefore declined to present creden tials. The townships, some of them, sent some few administration delegates, others, anti- Nehraska men, while others refused to send any at all. The Warren Mail mentions seve ral of the latter kind, and gives, as a sped men, the full proceedings of Sheffield town ships At the meeting held there on the 28th ult., resol itions expressing adherence to the principles of Washington, Jefferson, aid Jack son, disapproving of the course of the present National Administration in reference to Kan sas, declaring the belief that " the leaders of the present self-styled Democratic party have become corrupt through Southern influence, gold, or otherwise, and are no longer worthv of our support or of the moeh abnsed ram-.- of Democracy," and concluded in the follow ing stylj : Jlcsolrcd, That we cannot support anv can didate for office who stands upon, is pMyel to, or is otherwise in favor of the platform erected in Cincinnati, under the name of De mocracy. Reso'rcd, That we are not nor ever have been political Abolitionists, but when wo SOP national power prostituted to.subvert Freedom and oppress tne oppressed, it alike excites our sympathy and indignation. Cm er these considerations, the meetiinr re solved to send no delegates to the C> untv Con vention. Now the reader may perhaps think, from the wording of these resolutions, that they were not passed by Democrats. Vet the proceedings banded in to the Convention, at. 1 furnished to the county paper.- lor publication assert that they were passed at a tinvring of Democrats called by the Democratic Commit tee of Vigilance. When the Convention un voting for candidates, Mr. (1. \Y. 6 -ofiehl, one of the candidates for Congress, got up and read a statement declaring him-, if "ppoc-.i to the further extension of slavery, ana in fa vor )[ excluding it from all territory of the United States, more especially Kan-as. lie dcuounced the repeal of llio M V.-ouri Compro mise, the Kansas outrages, and tiie conduct the Democratic leaders, and .-aid that as the per tons who had undertaken the management of the party opposed these view,-, 1,.- witlwr-w his name as a candidate and intended that in the coming canvass his vote should r. pr<-.'.; his principles, In this Convention, the to'-w.- ships of Freehold, Columbus, Corydou. l'hav ant and -Sheffield, refused to be i ]•> account of their being opposed to the ex:-.;;- siou of slavery.
