Resolecd, That in the clear and vigorous Administration of James Buchanan, our hopes are fulfilled,—and- this gives another proof that Democratio rule alone. will secure Freedom. For History will write it, as an alarming peril, that, in the crisis of 1856, an oath-bound conspiracy :mint? religious lib erty, and constitutional order, p came so near consumating its treason, by electing to the Chair of Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson, a man void of Administrative experience, and of spotted honor. Happily, however, the Amer iean people then banished from the Nation the acrimony and violence of Slavery agitation ; and localized it in those single States and Ter ritories where the question of its introduction or abolition might arise. So that .Penn'a has no political duty or right touching Slavery, save the negative one of continuing those bar riers that exclude it from her soil. What a long breath of relief,-our tired country draws, as, for - the first time she reposes under the quiet shadow of "popular sovereignty." Resoled, That History must also fix upon the Black Republican party of 'SO, the re sposibility of filling Kansas with discord, clime and death,' for the mere purposes ,of political capital.--and in '57, for a like pur pose, it seeks to fasten on thenia slave Con stitution!!

Y. -Tribune. For several months I have mid this person's letters with care,upon the current events - and current politics of our Territory. and having had some means of information thereupon, I desired to estimate I the justness of his statement. My impres sions thus far have 'not been very favorable to his truth or candor. Not to judge of all by one, look at his three letters, dated June .12th, and June Mill and June IGth, in the Weekly Tribune, of July 4th, each one of which contains a distinct and palpable un truth, with the usual gloss of perversion, false coloring, and clap-trap ; while inuendo, fling, sneer, and new itnplying a malicious pos itive, rain down in showers upon the heads of Gore: nor Walker.and his friends, For ex ample : the tong yarn about a certain com ' mince waiting upon the Governor to depre cate the submission of the Constitution to the people, was spun out of his own brain, or out of the vast fund - of floating gossip, so much of which he incorporates into his communi cations to the Tribune. It has not one word of truth. Ido not say that he may not have heard it from some news manufactures, and perhaps have believed it •, but this will, not lexcuse him from reasonable inquiry of elia , hie sources us to its truth. It is n common remark here, that this cor respondeat details to his articles a variety. of narrative trash, which is related to him as such, but which he jots down as verities.— The same may lie said.of those ideal conver sations,and little speeches, which he, after the exampleA:af certain old fabulists , puts into the mouth of the governor or his friends. Again : take his twit letter. lie says "The County court decided at . its May term upon voting precincts in this county,. at Le e,onapton, Franklin ,Gum Springs, (an imagi nary ifiace).and Washington Creek.!' There, is not the first- line, word, syllable, or letter, of trutli.ia this; and what is more, this writ er, if he had jaut inaself on ordinary inquiry, might hare known it. Again, in the same letter, the charge that one of the judges of election for Lawrence, - at the late election, refused to serve because he could not get. a place on the pro-slavery ticket in is baseless at the fantastic visions of the evening, It has not as wide a founda tioe inirpth as Sir John Falstafrs hetoic ehargi.wpon those- eleven thieves .in Buck rand.-..l4leitler of - the Judges (residing' in Lawrence) were at the nominating convert fa: Leemptotz within ten days- be- Akre .figwinpitilis neat letter ; he claims to •be writing OtrwLecompton on election day.

Vre, people have said no nich t 1 thing by word or mouth, or by the mouth of i their convention: is 1 In another place, he says with strong end ' p'irysis that the U. S.

I do believe that this Convention, if they have . a just view of their position,will adjnurn.with out action ; but their right. to convene can-* not be called in question, and I am decided ly cf the,erniVn that no ;ono but our, pug : . nacioas correspondent does question it. Often; Mr. Editor, have I heard good Free State nicn. flail fault with untruthful state- . meats and uncandid comments of this come- spondent. I would not think neccs-ary or.' proper to allude to.thase things for the penefit of your Eastern readers, (nobody hero need. be dezelYeri,) if these perversions were—of oc casional occurrence 'ineTrely ; but 'it is not So, and the malignity of this writer ,towards 'the Governor is unappeasable, and seems to augment in rancor in proportiortir the zeal of the Governor in fulfilling-the avowed pur pose of his mission. This.is contrary to the plainest dictates of decency in a man or citi zen, however urgently-the policy of the par tisan Mai dictate this.course. I will, and so I believe of ibellerald of Freedom, give the the Governor a reasonable support, and when I think his.nets will conduce to the -public peace, and replace in the.bands of the people the rights which have been w rested from them I will not hestiate to say so, for fear that some partisan may publish that I have de serted the Free State party. TRUTH. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE - - A BOF EATEN BY A BEAR.---A shocking occurrence took place on the Harntrank Marshes; near Detroit Michigan, on Tuesday, -la - which_ a boy eleven years old was actually eaten - up, alive by a bear, within sight of the city. The cir cumstances of the case are thus given by the Detroit Free press : A Man named named Joseph Rademacher went out on Tuesday morning, io company with a little brother,, to pick ra'pberries._ They carried their dinners with them, and went some five or six miles out before lona meneine their day's work. Rademacher de posited his dinner basket - and coat on the ground, and . employed himself for some time in piektntr, berries, when his attention: was attracted by a noise, he looked around, and to his intense astonishment,.saw a large she l.ear, accompanied by three cubs, engaged in devouring his dinner. It was but—the work of azionient to drop his basket, of berries 1 and hurry, with' hisyoung_ brother from the spot. Ice saw two - boys not far from him when he :eft, the spot, but said nothing to them. Before himself and brothei 'had got a safe distance, they heard ,terrible screams in the direction they had (-Mire, which only serv ed to accelerate their pace, and place a great er distance between them and danger. They were soon overtaken by one of the boy; who came rushing after them in a bewilderment of fright,,screaming that a hear was eating up his brother. Rademacher received this intelligence in utter dismay,- and took to his heels with a will, followed bythe two boys, deserting tiro sufferer to his fate. The'cow nidly race soon brought them to the city, when they spread the alarm, and a large par ty was quickly formed for the rescue, which proceeded-to the scene,of the disaster, accom panied by Rademacher and the father of the unfortunate boy. • A long search•resulted finding-the remains of the boy, the bear hav ing eaten. up about. hrilf of the .corpse; .and buried the rest for a future meal. Remnants of his clothes* were found scattered, around, together with Radentutcher's coat, torn to pieces. A general hunt was.. commenced with a.view of. finding the . .bear,. which. has been continued up to the present time • with out, success.. .

Inquirei con tains a full report of the trial, conviction, and expulsion from the church of Deacon Stebbins, of the town of Alpine, in that cottn=, ty. Ile Was the first deacon of the church to. 'which lie belonged—the Freewill 'Baptist: It appears,that socm after the last Presidential election two elders addressed deacon Steb bins a letterpin which he, was informed that he was charged with crime, and they ad monished him that he must clear himself of the accusation. They say : First. It is an established fact that there are tyro princsples in active and open opposi tion, viz: shivery und liberality; and it . le deeMed that your covenant obligations and professed love of liberty, have, so far as ac tion is concerned, supported the system, prin, ciples and power of slavery: Second. It is an established far office of deacon is second to but kingdom that Christ set. up in this. that Governors - of- States, Kings of nations, and Presidents of the United,' States, and the offices they fill are of less note than the dea con in Christ's Church and the office he fills. Soon after he was furnished with a list of the charges against him; and after a long and tedionkinveStigation, the conned report ed as follows : SPARTA, Feb 4,4851. - The conned appointed by the Grand Itap idA Q.

Steb- Dins did not immediately answer. - Rouse says, "Yon are not going - to vote for slaVery, are you'!" Stebbins replied, No," and traveled on, as he had met Rouse on the ro ad For those answers-he was Charged with de ception. Stebbins admitted that he had made the answers, but defended himself as follows : First. That the democratic ticket which he. voted, supported the most liberal prinCi plc; 'of any ticket now in vogue. That it Llives . .to all new States, when:annexed, or at the time of annexation, the liberty to frame their own constitution as best spited them, only - it should be in keeping • with the con stitution of the United States—it mi. - lt-be in favor of SWery 'or - not.' He believc:d be the duty of every American citizen to stip port. the constitution of the Uuited States.— Ile belieied' the 'democratic principles and influence; to be anti slavery.' To prove this. he says that all the States that everabolished slavery had abolished' it under • a democratic administration, which is undeniably 'se. lle alse..thaintained that slavery now covered less territory, in proportion to that embraced in the United States, teen it did nt the time the colonies entered . into a compact for the pur pose of protection. from a foreign foe ; that at that time there was bat one thirteenth part fiee—Massachusetts being the only free State at that time. and now, opt_ef thirty one, there arc sixteen free States. lie was also charged with saying publicly shilt be would support slavery, which they did not and could not prove.
