The Response.
Of course ell are,'flow on tiptoe of excite
ment as to thefeiepuon which the platform
And nominations made at'Cincinnati by the
Slavery extension party, will meet with at
the hands of the people.
Tne Buffdo Republic —a Democratic pa
per, whose editor, Mr. Welch, has ever been
in the ranks of the Democratic party,,and
who >vaa the late Treasurer of New York,
elected by that t '
- We place befo^ur' 1 renders to-day the
resolutions adopted, by the CinciiirtaVi "CoTt
vemino. To many of them we do not feel
Inclined to interpose the least objection j’ but
upon the subject of the extension ‘of slavery
and the subjugation and prostitution of free
territory to the uses of the ' slave' pdwer,
through the aid of border' ruffianism arid
murderous violence—the only issues in the
coming campaign—the resolutions ate' not
only unsatisfactory to the democracy of New
York, but will meet their unqualified con
demns lior.
The first four clauses of the resolutions
relating to slave;y are from the Baltimore
platform of 1852, upon which Gen. Pierce
was nominated. The three following, framed
on this occasion “ more distinctly to meet the
issue” "ow agitating the people of the Union,
recognizes and adopts the “ principle con
tained in the organic laws establishing the
lerri'ories of Kansns'and Nebroska, as em
bodying the only safe solution of the slavery
question,” while another, with characteristic
hypocrisy, declares, “ the right of the people
of nil the territories, including Kansas and
Nebraska, acting ihrough the legally and
fairly expressed will of the majority of ac
tual residents, and whenever the number of
their inhabitants justifies it, to form a con
stitution. with o' wiihout domestic slavery,
and be admitted into the Union.”
On the subject of the outrages
in Kansas, under the encouragement ol the
present disgraceful national administration,
not one word is said. Is it not strange? If
there were no such thing as parties, the na
tional bouv of men whoshould come together
to deliberate upon matters touching the public
welfare, and neglect to express their opinions
Directly and fully upon the events now taking
mace in Kansas, would be looked upon as
exhibiting Hie most stupendous instance of
moral obtusity that has existed since the foun
dation of trie world. It is a phenomenon
wonderful to an extent almost to silence in
dignation. The blackest page of American
hismn. colonial or national, is now being
written —a page that the historian will blush
to record, amt posterity will peruse with
shame anc sorrow It testifies to most
astounding and most infamous events that
have occurred npon this continent wilhin the
present generation, Its memory is destined
to live after those who compose the national
democratic convention of 1656 are dead and
forgotten ; and yet these events too insignifi
cant to attract their alleniion.
IVlmt are the Prospects ?
The loud bluster of the Buchanan men,
and their boast that they can errry Pennsyl
vania with twenu, and even fifty thousand
majority, has deceived many well meaning
democrats into the belief that their candidate
is invincible to this Slate ; while some of the
opponents of the adminisirntion have permit
ted themselves to believe that there may be,
really, some foundation for tho boasts so free
ly indulged ti.
We do not believe there is any reason for
Such B conclusion. Weadmil that Buchanan
is a much leas objectionable man to the people
of Pennsylvania than Douglas or Pierce
would have been : but beyond the fact that
the nomination of either of the latter would
have driven many democrats from the ranks,
and that Buchanan will retain them, he pos
sesses no strength that may be called formi
dable, His nomination simply keeps those
in the party who would have been driven
from tt, but it brings no outside aid. We
have not seen nor heard of one old-line Whig,
Republican or American who will vole for
him : and we know that there are hundreds
of democrats in this county who voted for
Pierce, who will not vote for Buchanan.
Id 1852 Pierce carried Pennsylvania by an
immense majority, and he obtained Sweeping
majorities in Greene, Payette, Westmoreland,
Armstrong, Clarion, Venango, Butler, Mer
cer, Crawford. Warren, M’Kean, Poller,
Bradford, Susquehana and Tioga counties.
It was bv means of these counties that he
carried the State. In 1856 nearly all these
counties will >givo heavy majorities against
Buchanan, and the few that will not do so,
will be able to give but nominal majorities for
him. The change in these counties will much
more than compensate for the few whig votes
Buchanan will pick up in Lancaster and
Philadelphia r ami if it does not render his
defeat certain, it at least leaves Pennsylvania
doubt fa I, and makes it the battle-ground of
the campaign. The opposition will enter the
contest with an equal chance of success;
and If prudence and wisdom rule their coun
sels, their triumph is sure. Mr. Buchanan
has in him no' elements of popularity ; and
if his friends, now jubilant at their escape
from defeat at Cincinnati, think they are go
ing ■lo' have on easy victory, they are reck
oning without their host .—Pittsburg 6’aq.
It is our turn, must. —h is a remarkable
fad that within the past twenty years, no
party has carried the Presidential election
twice in succession.
In 1836 the democrat elected Mr. Vqn
Burce over Geo. Harrison. In 1840 they
renominated Mr. Van Daren, (hen their most
prominent statesman, and were beaten. In
1844, they abandoned the policy of selecting
statesmen, nominated a new and unknown
man named Polk, and elected him. In 1848
they had grown tired of taking new men,
fell back upon their statesmen, nominated
Cuss, artd were beaten. In 1852 the states
men were thrpwn overboard, the new men
policy was again tried, Pierce was nominated,
ond elected. In 1856 they have again grown
tired of new men, and have fallen back upon
(heir leading statesmen, and as they have
been beaten every lime they have tried
this since 1830, they are again destined
to defeat, It is duMUra now. Parties are
too evenly balanced in this country to permit
two successive presidential triumphs of the
same party, Mr, Buchanan, like Van Buren
•no Casa, is in the line of safe precedents—
tale, that is, for us.

“By Authority.”—No. 9.
Not a year since, a man was seized up and cast
into prison by on unjust judge in one of our great
Northern cities, for the crime of telling the truth.
That judge was Kane, and that Northern city with
cotton principles was Philadelphia,' The victim of
the wratli of the Slavcocracy was Passmore Will
iamson, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Abolition
Society, of which Society the great and good Dr.
Frasklim was first President. The avowed object
was “for promoting the abolition of Slavery, and
the relief of free negroes unlawfully held in bond
age.” That Socibly received its charter from the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, which, upward of 60
years after, last winter, decided that a power great
er than Legislatures had declared Pennsylvania to
be, to all intents and purposes, a tints Stale 1
In order to exhibit the anti-slavery sentiment ol
Franklin’s day in contrast with that of this enlight
ened day, we give below an "Address to the Public’
by (hat Society, winch skeptics will find in theeec
ond volume of Franklin's published works. We
give the Address entire:
"It is with peculiar satisfaction wo assure the
friends of humanity, that, in prosecuting (he design
of onr association, our endeavors' bake proved suc
cessful, far beyond onr most sanguine expectations.
“Encouraged by (his success, and by daily prog,
ross of that - lumipous and benign spirit of liberty
which is diffusing itself throughout the world, and
humbly hoping Tor tho continuance of (he divine
blessing on oar labors, wc have ventured to mike
an important addition to onr original plan, and do
therefore earnestly solicit the support and assistance
of all who can feel the tender emotions of sympa
thy and compassion, or relish the exalted pleasure of
beneficence. ‘ .
"Slavery it tuck an atrocious abatement of human
nature, that its very extirpation, if not performed
with solicitous care, may sometimes open a source
gf serious evils.
‘■The unhappy man, who has long been treated as
a brute animal, too frequently sinks beneath the
oommonslandard of the human species. The gall
ing chains that bind his body, do also fetter bis.in,
tcllecliud faculties, and impair the social affections
of his heart. Accustomed to move as a mere ma
chine, by the wilt of i master, reflection is fcnspedd

This, friendly feeder, is the testimony of e men
who hag a monument ip the greet heart of posterity
aa enduring, as lime itself; and the man who cen
sures the efforts of anti slavery to-day, just as cer
tainly stigmatizes Benjamin Franklin, George
Washington,ThomasJefferson, James Madison, and
a glorious host of men, whose patriotism is the pride
and the boast of posterity, as factionists, disturbers
of public tranquillity and traitors. The Garrisons,
Fosters, Pllsburys, Tappans and Jays of this day
do but advocate the doctrine advocated by the pu
rest Revolutionary patriots. What, then, fa their
crime 7 Why are'they mobbed, beaten With stripes
and lied about in-pulpit and by the press? Have
they presumed to imitate the virtue and nobleness
ot our fathers too successfully ? Is it because they
would restore to bloom and fruitfulness the fields
now cursed and barren under the shadow of Slavery 7
Ay, for each and. all of these reasons ace anti-slave
ry men traduced by demagogues to-day. The mer
cantile interest in our Northern cities is a heavy
drag upon the heels of any and every moral reform-
Look at Philadelphia—that sink-hole of every ab
omination that can generate moral miasma I—that
city of petty shopkeepers, who would sell the labor
ing classes, without reference to color, into hopeless
servitude for the profit on a bale of cotton or a hogs
head of tobacco I—whose gospel ministers stand up
in their pulpits toguctied, not daring to proclaim
God's truth, lest some colton-souled layman with
draw bis purse and his presence from the support of
the sanctuary I—which has no press fearless enough
to defend Freedom as she. must be defended in this
.crisis, and could not bo supported even though it
dared!—that city—the abode of Pharisees and un-
the harlot of modern, as Babylon was
of ancient time, the city of refuge lot wicked judg
es, chorcb-buraers, kidnappers and slave catchers—
since she carries her soul in her money-bags, should
be proscribed by every dealer in wares who would
not have the name, Pennsylvania, execrated by pos
terity, She panders to the South and let her grow
up under the beneficent influence of Southern enter,
prise. New Yofk, with all its sins, has a germ of
decency still left. She has a Beecher and a Cheev
er in the pulpit, and a Greeley, a Bryant, a Dana, a
Webb and a Hildreth, who wield mighty pens and
never grow weary. New-York at least has the el
emtfnts of purification in her public men, and has
yet no Colton Jove like that of the Quaker City to
attract the homage of the mass of her citizens.
We should elect men to the Legislature instruct
ed to oppose any and every measure proposed by the
Philadelphia delegation. Philadelphia haa control
ed the rural districts from the beginning. Her mem
bers' are responsible for every proposition to bend to
the Sonth, and for every aecesssion to iU insolent
dotntmda. She procured ik« outrageous
last winter, that the Legislature of Pennsylvania
has no voice in the regulation of her internal affairs
relative to Slavery, and thus, leaning upon the inla
mous decisions.of her Grier and Kano, pronounced
Pennaylvania a Slave State, without power to shake
off the corse. Thai base admission came by Phila
delphia; and far what I ?—in order that southern
traders may bring their chattels with them and re
tain possession of them While making thCir purcha
ses I Thus are we sold out, souls and bodies, to the
Oligarchs, anil by a handful of Philadelphia shop
keepers ! Republicans of Tioga, how long will you
serve tinder your new masters ? Or will you, like
the men of ’76, bind yourselvis'not to patronize the
cotton-merchants of Philadelphia 7
Tom-Foolery. —Before ns lies a paper, respecta
ble enough in appearance, well patronized, but ex
hibiting in one of its editorial articles about as
much regard for the proprieties of life as did one
Harold Skiinpole, of Bleak House memory. It is

that section of the Union
Wo hold that every lady who contributed to edu
cate Col. Fremont, will thank him for leading the I
party which is so hostile to a system which dobms
nearly a million of her sex to hopeless prostitution-
And the man who resorts to such arguments must

species, who will never da more than imitate the
methodic madness of the'little-great men of this
age. No less a place Hint that of bootblack in the
ruffian ranks will afford elbow room for such
a transcendent genius.
Verv Boshv,—When our friend of the Schiharie
Republieaa pronounces the Cincinnati platform
“ identical in spirit and letter with that adopted by
“ the followers of Jefferson and Jackson,” we pre
sume he means to be understood as speaking iron
ically. Re certainly knows that' Jefferson was the
author of the ordinance of 'B7, and that tht Com
promise of 1820 was but an extension, of the pro
visions of that ordinance so as to include all that
partof the Louisiana purchase lying north of 36:
30. He also knows that tile Cincinnati platform
declares substantially, that that Compromise was
unwise and unconstitutional; thus stigmatizing the
Jefferson Ordinance ha well as the Compromise.
This places the apostle of democracy in a rather
equivocal' position, or wbat is nearer -the truth,
exhibits, the “great democracy," 1q the act of
swallbwing Jefferson, in the Ordinance, and spew jog

tuc Jt*rcs» oa Buchanan.
The reception of Mr. Buchanan’s nomina
tion by the more independent of ihe Demo
cratic press is not enthusiastic, and in many
instances, rebellion is openly declared. The
New York Post, the old Democratic papeV of
that city, edited by the distinguished BryAnl,
in a long article, says
In on examination of the character of Mr.
Buchanan which we made some months
since, and in which we showed the superi
ority of his chances (or a nomination,-we
alluded to the character of his associates and
confederates. No public man of our day is
surrounded by so profligate a sol of followers
and admirers. He is in Hie -Centro of a cir
cle of unprincipled and restless adventurers,
whom men of higher degree of self-respect
avoid. There is someihing—wo suppose it
consists in the ease With which he is managed
—which attracts to him that class of persons,
and he seems to be perfectly content with the
association thus acquired.
How completely he Js in their power is
shown in those remarkable acts of his life,
the Ostend Conference and the Ostend Mani
festo. The object of the Conference—a
meeting of the envoys and diplomatic agents
of our country in Europe—was to prescribe
to our government the line of foreign policy
it ought to pursue; and the design of the
Manifesto was to persuade it to seize ■ upon
Ihe island of Cuba, wresting it from Spain by
force, for Ihe reason that its possession is
necessary to the security and permanence of
our great national institution, slavery. In
that document the same ground was taken in
regard to the seizure of CubA, that has'since
been taken in regard to the seizure of Kansas
by the Missourians, and in regard to silencing
o'ur members of Congress by knocking them
down. The interests of slavery require'vio
lent measures—measures in which all regard
for the rights of othejs is to be thrown aside.
That was the “ principle” of the Ostend
Manifesto as it has been the principle of the
atrocities (hat havesince been perpetrated

where I met him ; among thenl I recognized

accomplices in the murder of Dow, and all
of them in the posse of Jones which look

their halters cut; in the morning these men

was too bad for people to steal horses from

in the camp at Cedar Creek, and three of
them volunteered to go with me ; I borrowed
a pony and leaving my wagon with the oth

to take me to Westport; the company went

they disappeared, these men led me off the

to shoot me ; it was a United States musket;
I told him if he meant to kill me he would
kill a better man than himself; lowering his
gun, he said, “ I wish you to lake off them
pantaloons for fear they get dirty ;” I told
him they were mine as long as 1 was alive ;
he again raised his musket, but while he was
in the act of firing I dodged'; the ball hit me
in the side, glancing along my ribs, and
through the cartilages, lodging in my back ;
I fell; he then struck at my head with the
butt end of his musket, but missed, only gra
zing it; as he struck at me the other two
men rode off as fast as possible after the com
pany'that had gone over the prairie; he
struck at me again, when I caught the mus
ket in my hands and held on to it; he held
to the other end and jumped on my body,
stamping on my head and face, but as he
wore Indian slippers he did not hurt me much;
he then tried to jerk the musket from me, and
in doing so pulled me lo my feet; I still held
on to it, and dealing him a blow with my fist;
he let go the the musket; he then ran after
the nihcrs. calling them to come back, but
they had gone some distance and did not
hear him; he ran after them and I ran after
him; he commenced running harder, and
soon disappeared ; 1 then turned, ran some
distance into the prairie, and hid in the grass;
three hours passed quietly, when I left my
hiding place and wandered toward home.
“ At 10 o’clock I came to the branch of
timberwhere ihe road crosses lo go to Blan
ton’s Bridge; I there saw two sentries on
horseback; I passed so as not to be seen by
them, expecting lo get across at another place;
I heard cow bells clinking and dogs bnrking ;
I thought I was coming to a dwelling, but in
a short time I found that the noise moved
and that there was no house there; I then
went to the upper end of the grove hoping to
get across there ; at this point I heard the
same noiWfe; further up I came on their camp
in the timber; it was nearly day break, and
I moved away and hid in the grass, where I
could watch their actions ; in the morning
they were called in by the sound of cow
bells; while there I heard some one cry,
“Are you going to hang me!” I heard no
reply to this, except the noise of two rings of
the cow bell ; in about five minutes I heard
a shot, and at the same lime something like
a boatswain's whistle to lower, (Bailey has
been a sailor); after that I hoard six shots
fired at intervals of five minutes ; I heard no
more till night came; I lay in the thicket all
day ; at night I crawled out and contrived to I
travel about two miles ; my side was so sore I
I could scarcely walk.
“ I walked up lo the Santa Fe road and
found that also guarded ; I went to the Wpk
erusa, and remained hid there all day; while
there I saw a wagon stopped by five men ; 1
could not see well, ns they were at some lit
tle distance, but they appeared to be quarrel
ing ; I heard angry tvords when there was a
shot fired ; all was then peaceable, and the
men went down the road with the wagon and
team; at nightfall I found my way lo the
house of Dr. Stills, at. the Blue Mound;
During the three days I was exposed I had
nothing to eat, and took nothing but stagnant
water; my side was very painful and stiff
where I was wounded, and 1 was very weak;
while In the camp where I was first taken, I
heard the men there say that they intended
to kill and drive out the Free Stale men from
the Territory ; they spoke very bitterly of the
batljeof Palmyra, spme of them, having, been
in it; they were determined lo have revenge ;
they look from me $45 in money, and they
have my team, wagon, and several other ar
ticles in it. John A. Bailev.”

wound, and found it lo be a severe fiesb wound
among the cartilages of the ribs. The relia

A. yoang man named Hopkins was shot

went before Jbo Committee of Safety Ibis

: from that of the mti r dere'r. By their state

I house of Mr. Haynau, forced the door e „
tered the house and fired several shoisC
taking effect. Mr. H. then took his revolver
and shot the decetwed through the heart, kil.

in conversation with some of out citizens'
declared that ho had killed "four other men

THE DRAGOONS ORDERED TO LEAVE TOPEKA,
The United States troops, which Have been
stationed at Topeka for the last three or lour
weeks, received orders to leave there and go
to Turkey Creek day before yesterday.
Perhaps it is to prevent the sacking of that
city.
THE KICKAFOO HaIsGBRS ON TUB MARCH.
It is reported in this city'that theKickanoo
Rangers passed up toward Lecompton on the
north Side of the river yesterday. Their ob
ject is not known to our people.
This evening a gentleman came upon (ha
coach and reported that Col. Sumner wnh
his troops were driving the armed bands out
of Kansas, and that 150 had left for West
port. They threaten to return again as soon
as the Uncled States forces have left.
Free Kansas in the House.
Corroapo intense of the N. V. Tribune.
Washington, June 29, 1856
]t does a Republican heart good to see how
the uprising of the people for Free Kansas and
Fremont braces and stiffens the Aoti-Ne
braska majority in the House. Never before
were such majorities given there for the right
eous cause as yesterday, when the previous
question was seconded by ninety-eight to six
(y-lhree, and the main question ordered with
out a division, after beating all manner of mo
tions to adjourn, lay on the table, and the
like, by twenty to thirty majority. Had Mr.
Grow chosen to go through, 1 think the ad
mission of Free Kansas would have passed
the House by midnight at farthest; but it
was deemed wise not to press an advantage
too far, the other side being seriously wean
ened by unpaired absentees. ,hink they
will be ten stronger to-morrow, when I hone
to see the bill go through.
Messrs. Haven, Dunn, Scoot, Harrison,
Whitney and Volk will opposed; but 1 hope
hardly another who was elected as Anti-Ne
braska—John Wheeler always excepted, i
think Pennsylvania will give not above lour
votes on the side of the Border Rutfians,
New-York five and Ohio one.
Messrs. Howard and Sherman none to get
in their report to-morrow morning before pro
ceeding to the Kansas bill ; and there win be
a strong call for its reading at ;he ClerK's
desk, through that will consume three aourj,
Mr. Grow would doubtless forego his right to
close the debate in behalf of Free Kansas id
favor of this, then the House comes to a di
rect vole first on Dunn’s amendment propo
sing to restore the Missouri Restriction, This
will he carried, and then Stephens’s- substitute,
ihus amended, voted down, bringing the House
10 a.square'vole for or against admitting Kan
sas under her Free Constitution-whicn I hope
to sec carried by about ten majority. Ofcourse
the struggle will be protracted by ail manner
of motions to adjourn, lay on the table, call
the House, &c. But I hone to telegraph be
fore midnight that 'the People’s Representa
tives give the right hand to Free Kansas as a
sister Slate. a.
“Couktesv.’’—All (he '‘courtesy m ae

1 gentlemen of ibe South. They omv are
mild and courteous in demeanor. .he de
nunciations—the rude sneers —tne violent

In proof of this gentlemanly bearing 01 the
Southern chivalry, tve give ibe ibllowmg ex
tract, from lhe speech of Hon. A. H. Slovens,
1 of Georgia, at the passage of the Nebraska mil.
| -‘Well, gentlemen, you mane a good deal
I of clamor over the Nebraska measure, out it
don’t alarm us at all. Wo have got used to
that kind of talk. You have threatened oe
fore, but you have neper" perlormeu. .ou
have always caved in, and you will again.—
You are a mouthing wmte-tivereo set. df
course you will oppose the measure ; we ex
pected that; but we don't care tor your oo-
I position. You will rail, but we don't care
I for your ratling. You will hiss, but so do
adders. We expect it of adders, and we ex
| peot it of you. You are like the devils mat
! were pitched over the battlements 01 "heaven
into hell. They set up a howl at (heir dis
comfiture, and so will you. dut their fate
was sealed, and so is yours. You muse suo
mil to the yoke, but don’t chafe. You tried
to drive us to the wall in 1850, but limes are
changed. * * You went a wooting, and
have come home fleeced,. Don’t bo so impu
dent as to complain. You . will only be slap
ped, in the face. Don’t resist. You will
only be lathed into obedience."
Legislatures ol New York,.of Rhode Is
land, Massachusetts, Northern Divines, op
ponents of Nebraska every where, are mere
ly adders, whose vocation is to hiss they are
simply howling devils who be sent to hell.
A Drawback, —Tbe New York .Virror
says that the great drawback in the way of
the success of Mr. Buchanan, is the appre
hension that h’is election will create no va
cancies ; (hat his triumph would prove but s
barren victory to the hungry horde of office
seekers.' Of course, he would change the
Cabinet; but it would be hardly lair to turn
out the fifty thousand office (iSlders who would
help him into'ihe Presidential Chair, in order
to gratify the army of oot-siders. As 'he
numbeh Who desire office is to the number
who AoW offlbb fs about five hundred to one,
we have in this consideration a very strong
elefyjsnt of-weakness.
. The New York Day Book, a Buchanan
paperjsays “ The lime is olqie :at h»nQ
whep such statesmen at Sumner and Hale
will have'. Justice, full justice done them,
when, in,short, an Abolitionist wjll be iynchetj
as readily in New, .York apd Boston as iff
