A correspondent of the Eas ton Argus, in a letter dated JulyAth says: "The Legislature of Kansas adjourned on the eth to meet at Shawnee Mission on the 16th. When their Coinmittee waited upon Gov. READER, to inform him of their determina tion to go, he informed them in very distinct . terms that he would not recognize any fur ther action of theirs, but would consider them dissolved by that act.

The Wayne County Herald informs us that the Bradford Reporter and Tioga Ag itator have been saying some mean' things abont.us. This is new to us though we pre sume it is correct. We have not opened a copy of either of those papers in three months to our recollection, consequently those editors havihaptheir labor without pay. We care as little 'what the profligate prostitute of Wil mot says about us since he, at the bidding of his master, joined the Know' Nothings, as we do about the insane ravings of the spirit-yip ping Editor of the Agitator.

After the above named gentleman made up his Mind to assume the senior editorial ship of the &publican., on two occasions he spoke to the senior of the Democrat en the subject of newspaper courtesy, and desired that a better state of things should prevail hetireen the papers of this county, assuring 1114 in the most positive manner,-that he had a control ,over the Republican that would enable him , to put ,a stop to the bitter sand disgusting personalities with which its col trans bad beenioaded the pait three years. We assured hiln of oar &sire to bring about such a state of things, and expressed a hope that while he shout 3 occupy that place the truce would not be broken. We have tried to fulfil our part to the letter, never haring, as eur readers will recollect, spoken of . Mr. Read but.in terms of eulogy, as a gentleman and a citizen. ' We do not pen this article for the purpose • of opening a quarrel with Mr. Reed, but rath er with the hope of avoiding it by awakening kis ,Sttention to a subject which we are sure be will appreciate. If he has read the paper to which his name is attached as Editor for the last three months, he - must be aware that it has given us cause of offence strong enough to have justified us in resorting to very se vere treatment of its Editors. Ile must be aware that he has permitted it to atttaek, With falsehood and coarse demation, not only our political integrity and character .for manhood and truth; but also to assail our private character with such chpie,e epithets as !" blackleg," i‘ traitor," "gambler," " liar," tke. &c. Week after week, while we hare . been busily engaged endeavoring to make comfortable a home for ours, scarcely enter ing purplliee for three months, an 4, writing scarcely a column for our paper dating that whole time r —we say week 'after week has the columns of his 'paper teemed with these choice libels. • Now we are disposed simply to give Mr Read to understand that these things must stop, or be must prepare himself to stand by the infamona attack - 3, *ltch go out -to the public with the saietic•n his name. He is a Man of reqxmslilitv, and his name wai l - pie 3 the resposibl4 - position at the head of that paper. - If it was put there to give character to 'p paper which had none before, while he ;really has nothing to do with ib,so much the, - worse for him, fur lie thus places himself voluntarily in the way, of 'lending his charae ter to the defaming and injuring of those who Lain never *famed or injured him. Let it be as .it may,:be is the oily responsible man connected with the _Paper. and be must either withdraw from it, alter its tone and die, tem per of its articles, or, hold himself responsible for thew: Which he does is a matter of lit -di: ;intone:at to us, save we should dislike - to feel 4:ildiied to expose to the piddle the utter disrvuxl oljkth, manhOod and hOnor which characteridlirthe tone of that paper, and to which his name and sanction are attached. If things thus continue-*if Mr. Read perSista in lending thesanction ipf his , name to the falsehood» and slanders M half a dozen Ina- lignant scribblers to that,pape4 we must treat their falsehoods as.bis falsehoods, 66r slanders as . his sianderkaird ther libels as 11 his libels, for his name stands i silent ;and yet speaking approbatioU 4 them. It may be that the history ofl hi 4; poliucar career would not look mom inviting in print than some others. - It may be ; that some of his private transactions in life ivould ;not bleach a newipaper page more thite than some others. : It may be that- hisi Character would not brighten under the focal rays of the sun of the past.. At all eients, he may find that . be cannot lend himself to !give weight and. character to theimalipe of Our enemies and rid himself of the responsibility: Perieskal. Since Mr. Read has seen proper to permit the paper of whicl he pretends to be Senior Editor to pour out column after column of misrepresentations, and deliberate, inexcusa ble falsehoods in reference to the course of the Senior Eakin of the Democrat in the re cent Convention at Harrisburg, we deem it proper to give the public a condensed and truthful statement of the occurrences there, and the part we took .in them. We shall state the proceedings-1w the. COmmittee on .Resolutions, which of course do not l. appear with the proceedings of, the Convent i lon, and shall also state our action in the Convention, for tlatruthApf . which our readers may turn to treProcengs as published in Mr. Read's paper. We shall -do this and then leave Mr. Read 'in the haqds of a people who respect truth and'hate fitlsehood. On the Qrgarization of the Committee on "I4solutions, Mr.! Wright, its, Chairman, laid bafori the Com4ittee a series of Reselutions, endorsing the -I , Tational Administration, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, tkc. &c. They received 'bk. two votes out of thirty three. Aulrics „then pffered si series, gen eral in' their reference to the Slavery question, to which Mr. Chase offered the following as an 'amendment.. -• • Resolved, That the National 6:institution wisely commits the institution of islavery to the control of the States where it as exis tence, and we will r es ist all .attenipts by the non-slaveholding States to iaterfeie with the rights guaranteed to the institution, so also we will resist any attempt to use the poweri of the General Government to• perpetuate or extend the institution. , Resolved, That the taking possession of the polls at the election for the organization of the Territory of Kattias by a large body. of men 'from !tifisSeuri, for the purpose of over awing the bona fide residents of the Territory, was a gross infraction of the laws, and an outrage that calls for the severest reprobation of the American people,: and we therefore most heartily endorse the Apurse pursued by the lion.

Mr. Wright then refused to report the mUjori• ty resolutions t i c,) the [Convention, and, Col Black was direiited to doso by the Commit . IVlwn the COUvention met in the evening Col B. made his repOrt, and COI. Wright re ported his as 'the minority report, making - a long .speech in their favor, to which Col. Black replied With great eloquence and pow er. It was :then tuirreil by Mr. Hatter, to adopt - the majority report, which motion Col. Wright moved to amend by substituting the minority report, cri 'his resolutions, which was voted down. Considerable confusion and offering of amendments here ensued; when, for the purpose of stopping amendments, and debate, end also ' bring the. Convention to a test cote once, r.

Reader front the ofoe of Governor of Kansas. • The pretext for this proceeding is that Gov. Reader baii , disgraced his position by 'nee- JXIOIIII transactions in Indian lands. •We be lieve it the merest pretext, for from some what of an intimate personal acquaintance,as well as the reputation which Gov. Reader has acquirid in Pennsylvania by a life-time of ardent devotion to an honorable profes *ion, as well u an every day illustration, in his life and couduct, of those high and man ly virtues which adorn all that is noble ntVd !good and great in man, we are slow to be lieve that he should suddenly sink to tile depths of dishonor, and that too while feel ing himself clothed with a responsibility drawing upon him the eyes o bole na tion. Such is not Andrew :0 r , such ;not a part of his , diameter, a merican !people will yet vindicate him from the stain ;which is sought to bb placed upon him. I We have no heart to write in anger. e write in sorrow, feeling a gloom settled and dark resting upon our mind and shading all l our apprehensions of the future. To what in finite depths of dishonor and difficulty may not a weak and vascillating Executive con sign the country,—blasting with the breath of peril and discord the hopes, peace, happi ness, prosperity and lasting good of a great and generieus people. To what, in heaven's ,name, is the country coming? What will be the end of a systematic procedure of ag gravation and Violence What the result of totally disregarding the generous impulses of millions of freemen,—a disregard that seems to seek opportunities to heap insult and insolence upon them ! Will it strengthen their affection for the bonds which bind them to the Union of their country,—or will it not rathei drive them to feel that those bonds fi nally are but hateful and corroding chains,— which bind them involuntarily to a govern ment in which their voice is powerless,—a government whose favors are curses,and whose hand is extended only in violence and usurp ation f Smelting under renewed aggrava tion,—writhing under,,,a continued series of insolence, to what point may not such a peo ple finally be goaded? The last feather will surely break the back of the camel, and woe to him on whom the load , shall fall. Governor Roller , will return to his home in Pennsylvania, the comforts and luxuries of which he left with reluctance, perhaps with a hea‘y heart, for he must feel keenly the dis grace which is sought to be loaded upon character. Bet he will be sustained by the reflection that he has tried to discharge like a man, the duties and obligations which de solved upon him,—that he has tried to yin dicate'the ;honor fif the goiernment, the laws of Justice nd order,—tlie rights of Ameri can citizenship from riolcince.- His conscience before his country and his God will approve him,—thei sympathies and Judgment of a , Commonwlealth will approve, and vindicate Aim too !

I 1 • From the Toronto Colonist. 110Wrnetton of Myers Wrens Tent in Canada by a Mob. • . . . One of the most disgraceful riots 'that ever occuredin this city:took place on'Fridav /nit, the circumstances-of which we have "taken trouble to ascertain accurately, and they are . as' follows :—Howe's menagerie and Myers and Madigan's equatrian •troupe jointly ex hibited and performed in the city, on-the va cant space near the jail,. on, the evening of Thursday and' Friday. . . o.n - Th,ursday night a row occared in a house of ill-fame a little west, of the old hos pital on King street, in which two or three of the Circus .people: ; .wero concerned. - Two young me med. , Fawcet and Fraser, who, it is said, corn= g tO.the hook and ladder . . panv in s vitvere seriously . injured, one of them getting his jaw broken In two places from the blow of a decanter. The parties who inflicted thte injuries were those con cerned with the cirrus; and, . consequently, the friends of the sufferers . vowed vengeance on the whole establishment. From the in quiries we have made, we have ascertained that the friends of Fawcet and Fraser were busy during the whole of Friday preparing for an attack on the Circus people and police, and allow the mob to do just as it pleased. .Symptorns. l ,of the riot were quite perceptible during tl4 hours of performance, but no reg.; tiler attack was made upon the premisei .un til the audience had departed. It was. then I that some one commenced to cut the canvass with a knife, and a' most violent demonstra tion was made by yells and shouts. The em ployees of.the circus fumed thetriselves with such weapons as they could lay hands upon, sallied out in a body and -made a clearance, and again returned under the canvass: The pollee here, it seems made a feeble !attempt to arrest seine persons, but were, prevented by the , mob. Abetit this time we, believe it was, that Joseph Bird, a member Of the hook and ladder company received a blim from an iron bar from one of the circus me`n, and had to be taken home. A pistol shot,i we under stand, was aUo - fired by one of the party as , . sailed. , The next step of- the Mob was to make an attack on one of the wagons, which they pulled over and tumbled over the em bankment into the bay. They then attacked the ticket wagon,, which was smashed into pieces with . their axes and set on fire. The Mayor had previously been sent for by Mr. Yale; one of the managers of the company, and he soon nrrhed on the spot and-endeav ored to quell AIM disturbanee. He advised the circus men - ,to lay down their weapons, and consider themselms'as prisoners, and he . would do•everythit:g in hispower to protect them ; to - which reque4 they immediately. yielded, sittivg down to g ether-in the tent. He then exfts...lnlated with the mob outside, and entreated. them to desist ; but his efforts although successful in one quarter, were -de:- feated in Another. He managed, however, to rescue two .men belonging to the company, who were set up by the crowd, some of whoin shouted out "kill them—knock . them down," .lc, and wlont he sent off in a cab to the police station. The work of .destruc tion still went on. • • • . When the ticket wagon was set on fire, sumo of the - .mob proceeded to St. Lawrence. Hall and caused' the fire alarm to be rung i which proceeding, most likely preconcerted had the effect of bringing the hook and lad. __".... ...snip _ ly :. dressed the excited po ulace from the roof of one of the wagons, poi ting out to them the shameful character of heir proceedings, and after some time they began to disperse.

Shocking Scene ha Wisconsin—=ft Man Lynched. . I The case of David F. Mayberry, who was tried mid convicted in Jefferson county, Wis., for the murder of Andrew Alger, has already been briefly noticed in our columns. The excitement during the trial was'intense, and theqeeling against the prisoner was ,strong. As soon 'as the verdict was 'rendered, a mob of nearly a thousand persons made,a rush for the prisoner, Who was, however, hurried to jail., The excitement eon ti u ued and increased after sentence ,Was pronounced. The fol lowing partiChlars of the subsequent scenes are from thei Janesville (Wisconsin) Stand ard, and we;need scarcely %ay that thefte fleet upon these who partitipated in them, anything brit'credit Judge Doolittle (mite to tlie -portico and made a very impressive address to the popu lace remonstrating apinst the spirit which seemed to actuate them, and in favor of the supremacy of the law's. He was, • listened to respectfully; and at this juncture a more quie spirit seemed. to prevaiL This was about I t o'clock, A. M. About 1 o'clock, the crowd thinned out, sad the officers deemed it a fitting tiine to proceed with the prisoner to the jail. :We tl were startled by the cryof "Hang him hang him !" when, on stepping •to the window, we saw the officers and prisoner coming towards the . jail, surrounded by the infuriated mob.. A rush' was made for the jail, the door of which was barricaded at once by the Crowd, and the approach of the offi cers cut off. The officers—though' resisting the populace. with all the energy ' they pos .seimd, and protecting the prisoner. to the utmost of their power—were borne down and overpowered.. The prisoner was then almost alone; but he defended himself with superhuman strength: Ile fonght with the utmost dopenttion, and possessing a most athletic physical frame, for some ten yards the crowd fell like chaff before him. • A - blow, bowel;er, with a blud geon from behind, felled him to the ground, and he was powerless. A rope was then pas ',sod round his neck, seized by the crowd, and a rush made down Court street. The pris oner, though draging in the dust,.caught the rope with his hands ; and thus prevent ed strangulation it once. • Arrived in front of our office; a desperate effort .was again made by the officers and citizens to res cue` him. The rope , was cut three times by Mr. Orrin Gurnsey, who exhibited the most determined bravery in his behalf, but .. as of ten was he thrust aside; and the rope re adjdsted. At this time, a scene almost indescribable was exhibited; a crowd of between three and four thousand persons was swayed to and frd. In the centre was the doomed prisoner lying upon the ground, above him stood friends, begging and struggling for • his life, while a far greater number were intent upon his death'. This state of things lasted about ten minutes, and as we looked from our window, the.hope predominated that the friends oflaw. and order might prevail. But it was a vain hope. The fearful cry of "Hang him!" rose load; er than before, and a_ rush with the prisoner was.: made to a cluster of trees on the public square, the , rope re=adjusted upon his neck, the other end thrown over the limb of a-tree, and, fur the first time in dtir life, the Vorrible spectacle of a human being hanging by the neck until be was dead, met our view. The circumstances which attended the murder of Alger were of the most aggravated kind. It was a cold-blooded and atrocious deed. It was unattended by a single mitti gatory circumstance. .• The -murdered man was a mftsman: He was well known to all who followed this occupation on Kock ? river. Ere had been known to them for years, and 'was admired and respected by them all. His residence was near Jefferson, in Jefferson county', in this State. His friends were aware of the enormity of the murder, and as they supp6s ed .the inadequacy of the punishment which :our law provides for so foul a crime, they as sembled in mass here to await the issue of the • trial. Diiring its progress, no more than common excitement was perceptible; but last evening, after the verdie,t of the jury was known, the deep-seated and determined feel ing to visit punishment upon the head of the prisoner exhibited itself, and to-day an organ ized band of not less than three buleired per sons:were pr e sent, who would not be satisfied, save with the life-blood of the murderer. Coroner's Verdict in the Neal Dow Cure. We are indebted-to Winslow 47..C0.'s Ex- . press for a copy of the Portland Advertiser of thiS morning, containing the venliet of the Coroner's Jury whiCh has for some time been investigating the causes which led to the death of John Robbins, who perished at the cityliquor Agency in Portland, on the sec ond of Jane. It will be seen that the Jury find that the whole• blame of the homicide rests upon the Mayor of the city, Neal Dow. After an extended review of th testimony elicited before the Coroner's Jury, and a care ful examination of the statutes bearing upoij the ease, the .

Such be in, r he conclusion t which the jury are roughs by the evidence, they further find in the language of the statute, that the said John Robbins " died of felony," and not "by mischance or accident ;" and with a view that justice may be done iu the p'remises 4 they ree. ommend that the witnesses, whose testimony appears to be material, be required to enter into recognizance. aecordin,g to law, for their personal appearance at the term of the Su-. preme Judicial Court for the transaction of criminal business next to be holden at Port land, within and for the . county of Cumber land, on the last Tuesday of July current, so that all the facts respecting the death of the said John Bobbins, and the criminal conduct of the said Neal Dow may be in the usual manner laid before the Grand Jury then and there to appear, agreablyto the statute in such case made. and .provided.

The rock is composed of si- 'bleeding, and his shirt saturate& with blood, so d lex, with a small portion of lime, which cora- ' was committed to jail, to await an pxamination Lined, forms the most diffiicult material to en on Wednesday next, the 25th inst.—/40ston &en counter. There is also a great profusion of 0 water which interferes with the bla.sting, Mid ja g Td • renders the work extremely laborious re quiring no small dcgree of patience and skill on the part of the contractor. This work at Forge Cut (more familiarly known among contractors at . Rock Difficult.) was at first undertaken by Messrs. Noyes, Phelps & Co. They went all over the work ] in order to find a proper place for , a com mencement, but discovered no spot which promised to be sufficiently easy. They final ly became discouraged; and were successful in securing services of Mr. Levannay, who vent no time in looking for easy spots, but commenced his work hr right good earnest. We are happy to learn, however the gentle men referred to, are efficient contractors, and have succeeded well in other portion's' less difficult. Mr. Le% :ma ay is one who having once put his hand to the plough, never turns back until his task is finished. Ile is 1411 known for the energy and perseverance with whihhe prosecutes a work once commenced. \ No o staele in the line of his employment, c \,l which human ingenuity can overcome, is sufficient to deter him. My personal acqua— intance with him is but slight, yet the repu tation which he has acquired during the twenty years devoted to similar work s' will amply sustain me in this opinion of his ster ling qualities as-a contractor. Besides the cut to which reference has been made, there is, at the 'Enit end of section 48, a great amount of very hard earth,'which, it 0 would appear, cannot be removed at a much less expense than ordinary rock; I t observed, in passing, a number of men engaged in drl ling Ilk preparatory to blasting, and from all appcarances,l should judge that more diffi culty would be experienced- in drilling and blasting .it than in many kinds of rock.- - Taking both sections together the work is very expensive and troublesome, and would be like ly to involve Mr. L. in considerable loss were it not that the road is in charge of those who are both able and willing to pay the cost f construction, and who will not see aco mo tor, who possesses• all the qualities visite for the prompt and satisfactory e. cution of his weds, suffer for the want reasonable compensation.

Wright tk Kinijey, vi ho have already completeit their work-it being easy of construction. . / The Delaware bridge is progressing slowly ,rn consequence of high water in the Delaware ' river; _ and the contraetor, Mr. Noyes, is una ble to boat the store from the quarry in or der to its completion. The Delaware, Lackawana and Western road, it %Yin be remembered, extends from Great Bend on the New York and E i rie Rail road to New Hampton on the New Jeisey Central. It will be the nearest route from New• York to Buffalo Erie, &e. It runs di rectly through the Lelawanana coal region, in which the Company are extensive owners. Mining operations are carried on in con nection with the ordinary business of the road, from which 'the Company will no doubt derive considerable profit. , Although the construction of the road is attended with great expense in conseptence of the roughness of the surface and hardness of the soil, all who are acquainted with the facts of the case, are confident thatithe road will be extremely valueable ono Aug com pleted, and amply repay: those who have in vested in •it. So great has been the confi dence of the public in the ultimate success of this enterprise, that the Company during the most stringent times have had no 'difficulty in securing, on very favorabla temp, all the loans which they needed. It is confidently expected that the entire road will be opened : for business by the first of next September.
