Mr. Buchanan waa at Philadelphia last night. A
body of hia friends from thia city called him out at
hia hotel. They wanted a speech. He said he
wanted to make them one; hut jKilitical etiquette
fnmiH'lled him to be silent. Unfortunate Mr. Bu?
chenau! He has renounced hia identity to assume
the character of a platform, and he dare not gratify
hi? wish to reply to the salutation* of his friend*
for fear be may joggle the platform. Would
not the people of thia country prefer a man for
President who retains hia own identity, has prin?
ciple* and character of his own, and can ?peak to
friend" or foea as the occasion demands ? Wc think
they would.

The newa from Europe by the steamer Asia in
given in full on another page, having partially ap?
peared in a portion of our edition of yesterday. It
has interesting points, but nothing of great impor?
tance.
A mass meeting of Republican* was held yester
dry at Morristown, N. .1. Fifteoo thousand persons
were present. Speeche* were made by Governor
Reetler, Senator Wilson, George W. Curtis, George
H. Brown and others.
Got. Reeder'* letter stating why he votes for
Fremont, will receive attention. It i* a strong,
urnnly, and sincere document; not correct in its
estimate of Mr, Buchanan, we think, but credita?
ble to it* author. Wo gee in it a man sacrificing
bis personal preferences and the friendly attach?
ments of yttrs to motives of public duty. The
same considerations will weigh decisively with
thousands on thousand* of Pennsylvania Demo?
crats us soon as they see the facts aa they are.
Give them but light, and Buchanan is beaten in hi*
own State.
The Republican State Ticket was yesterday
completed as follows:
For State Prison Inspector?Weslkt Bailey of
Oneida.
For Clerk of Appeals ? Rcsski.l F. Hirn* of
Livingston.
Theae name* are not precisely those we should

On tbe whole, we think the aotiou of thia Con?
vention will be found eminently satisfactory to the
people. We have no doubt that the verdict they
will oats upon it in November will be oue of en
thiiM.istic and unqualified approval.
Wc publish to-day a number of very interesting
letters from Lawrence, throwing new light on the
sudden " cavaiug in" of the Border Ruffians, and
the unexpected restoration of peace to the suffer?
ing Territory of Kansas. The publish^ Bordcr
Ruffittn accounts of the battle of Osavvattninie that
we have seen, all state that the assailant force had
only five wounded and none killed. It is true that
the Free-State men who were in the fight c'..?mcd
to have killed and wounded n large number of the
assailants, while Captain O. C. Brown, whose let?
ter we published the other day, states in it that
three wagons were required to enrry otT their dead
and Mounded. But allowing for n natural exagge?
ration such as we knew had incurred on the part of
the Ruffians as to the loss of the Free-State men,
and supposing that the Ruffian* must know their
own loss best, we have hitherto taken it for grautod
that it amounted to only five wounded.
One of the letters, howev.*r, which we publish
to-day insists that in fact the Kitffian* suffered great?
ly, and that their papers contain list* of thirty-three
killed and thirty-sex en wounded; and this account
certainly correspond* much better thau the etory of
only fivewtmnded with their subsequent movements.
I? will sene fully to explain seteral thing* which
otherwise seem n little unaccountable?such as the
busty retreat of Reid'* men; their shooting two
prisoners, at different times, iu cold blood; the
flight of Atchison's army at the appearance of Lane,
und the sudden withdrawal out of the Territory,
and subsequent speedy dispersiim of the whole
force.
That dispersiou wa? ascribed in part, at least, ia
a letter which we published from one of the surviv
llg prisoners, to the disgust which the better part
? I the liordcr-Ruffian army felt at the c.,|.l.bl,?odcd
murder of the second prisoner who was shot. .Vr
iw.rding to one of the letter* which we publish to?
day, a like effect was produced upon the Border
Rtiftifcu army assembled at Lecomptou by the w an?
ton burnings and outrage* which have heretofore
been mentioned as eouimitted by theae forces.
Hence when l^ane finally inan-hed upon l^v.uup.
ti n, l?e found ? htrge part of tbe Missouri Huxiliaric?*
fOaW, the inilili.i di>h.tuded, luchardaoii tl"pii\ed of
hia eoiiimatid, and WiKMiasm and the rest of the
miserable scnndiels who held the pl?M vvithiMit
BB| me. ns |o rv?ist hiui. QfeWN tliei were
very glad to romp to terms by tbr irariv?diBte nieste
of all the prisoner* they held, whom indeed, coo
fcious of their inability any longer to hold thnn.
they had, ns they alleged, already made np their
mind* to send, under im escort af dragoons, f<?
l~aw reue??.
Next followed the release of the treaaon prison?
ers, which, however, waa brought about not by any
interference on tbe part of Omit tt whom aa yet
the Free-State men are indebted for nothing?but
in due course of law. A day or two after the treaty
of Lecx:mpton came on the regular session of the
Court, lo which these trials had already once been
postponed. The proaecuting officer wanted Le
compte to adjourn the term altogether, on the
ground that the country was in a state of insurrec?
tion; but as no proof was offered of that, and a*
Leeompte did not aee tit to take judicial notice of
it, he refused the motion. The attorney then
moved to continue tbe cases on the ground that the
country was in such a state of commotion
that jurors and witoeasca could not attend. Le
compte granted this motion, but consented at the
same time, as the prisoners were ready frr trial, to
admit them to hail, which wss immediately done.
It np|we.rs there were two indictments against them,
one- for a misdemeanor in assuming office, the other
for treuem. BVth were a mere trick to- deprive
the Free-State men of their leaders, throw them
iDto confusion and drive them to extremes, of
w hic-h advantage might be taken to crush them out?
a gross and outrageous, wicked and scandalous
prostitution of legal forms to political party pur?
poses and tlit* enonnou* injury of individuals of
which Lrcompte was but the instrument, while
Marry and dishing at Washington are the respon
ible ii.d?r*era if not the actual author*?a respon
ibility to which we trust they will be yet most
strictly held.
The State of Pennsylvania now occupies the
BQost in tore sting, nod hence imperative, position in
regard to national politics of any in this Union. It
may reasonably be affirmed that without her Coop?
eration in the Republican cause, the result is
doubtful, if success he not impossible altogether.
And yet if there be a State which, of all others,
should affirm Liberty and restrict Slavery, merely
upon material considerations, it is Pennsylvania.
Her whole old-fashioned supposititious depend?
ence on the South, when there was no West,
has been reversed by the creation of empires ex?
tending from toe junction of the Allegheny and
Moiiongabela up to the Sioux River. A mill?
ion square miles of country, containing people
who Jo not require merchants to sell their princi?
ples along w ith their wares, ts now opened to Phila
delphia and the interior interests of the State,
which were unknown wheu the spurious Democ?
racy of the Sonth first hoodwinked and humbugged
her voters, and a knot of hereditary office-holders,
vibrating betwixt Pittsburgh and tbe Delaware
River, dictated terms to the acquiescent multitude.
The rhetoric which would have answered when Mr.
Li iper was a stereotyped Chairman of Philadelphia
meetings, or when Colonel John Thompson,
orator of the day, discoursed of "the woice of
"Pennsilwnny coming from thr mountainioui dia
"tricts in a manner not to be miscomprehended"?
when tbe venerable head of George Mifflin Dallas
would he wheeled out as a pageant, and 50,0(10
majority roared defiance and crushed opposition?
those days have passed. The old swabby Slavery
assistants, the men whom, in the words of John
Randolph to .)osiali0.uiney, the South counted upon
aa she did on her niggers?these ranks have beim
broken up. Wr are no Know-Nothings, but we
know that the old Democratic janissaries in Penn?
sylvania have been cut in twain by the election
w hich gave the present Governor some 30, 000 ma?
jority ; and that the new-plowed fields are now ready
for the fresh seed of Republicanism.
Such ir the ras*, but the truth cannot be too
much impressed on all minds that success in Penn?
sylvania can only be achieved by work. Every
ward in the cities, every borough in the couutiea,
must be worked foot by foot. The speakers to the
?wop]e must show, among other thing-; that the in?
terests of Pennsylvania have been uniformly sacri?
ficed to the extreme doctrines of the extreme South;
of tbe men who like Calhoun hold to the idea that
mechanical labor is fit for slaves. They must show
that the contest now is whether the teeming plain*
of tho West shall be kept for free white luen, sons
of I't-iiiisvUniiiafarmers, miner*and mecrianie*, who
may desire to build up indejseiideiit home* there, or
whether those vast and fertile Territorio* shall be
handed over to the exclusive occupancy of negro
slaves and slave-breeders. I^q the voters of Penn?
sylvania understand that (bis is the question to be
decided at this election, and the result cannot be
doubtful. Tbe speakers to the people of
that Stale should be men whoae every pulae throbs
with the dignity of labor; that dignity of labor which
is only consistent with a higher rate of wage* than
will ever be possible if slave oligarchs obtain that
control of the country which they are seeking for;
for in the view of such oligarchs some $20 a year
is all-sufficient for the food, raiment, and shelter of
the working loan, while the maguificeut master is
entitled to all the rewards, and may be a prince on
a plantation as well as a fashionable swell at a
watering-place when heat, or miasma, or latitude
drives him from home. The men who addresa the
people of Pennsylvania should ask them why a few
men of that State who personally are notori?
ously as aristocratically illustrated as any that can
be found in the Isnd, should turn up the trump
cards of politics every few years, and be glorified
and greased with jobs and missions?with Smith?
sonian and St. James fame aud fat?merely because
they shout "Democracy." And what democracy!
Democracy, which says: '? Sow the soil broadcast
"with bondage from the Mississippi to the
"Pacific; bay or steal, especially steal, Cuba; re
" open the slave-trade direct, and up to that time
"let Virginia seud her slaves, according tv the
" shriek ot'Gov. Wise, to the gold min-.'s of Califor
"nia at 96,900 a bead, and -thus gain her appro?
priate billions of profit; raze, too, to the ground
"the old edifice of lies which says that all men are
?'created equal and endowed with rights; and re
?? echo the Virgiuia truths of the day which say
"that Slavery appliea equally to the white man with
" tbe black, and that all the w hite laboring claasea
?' may justly be enslaved :"
Such is the simple portraiture of 1 Minor racy in
Pennsylvania, as evolved by " the favorite aun" of
that Slate, aud supported by his collaborators in the
flesh-pots of the post-Office, the Custom-House and
the diplomatic palace*. And tbe main ground for
?uch accurst dougbt'accism is the supposed money in
terests which Pennsylvania ha* with the South. It
may be true that a knot of slaveowners who live in
Philadelphia and sweat tbeir slaves at magnificent
geographical distances in the South, and request the
Rev. Dudley Tyng to resign his pastorship in the
Kpiphany t Lurch. Chestnut street, may be deeply
intereslrd jii daubing; their Ijojtj ?vift fjoutkn. dirt
idler they bare filled their stomach* and gullets to
cvci-flowing; it may be that a few of the men on
the Delaware wharre? glen commission, on tbe
aale of rice, cotton and tobacco bnt that the hun?
dred* of thousand* of people in the City of Phila?
delphia and the State of Pennsylvania hare any
other than a material interest in tb*? non-extemios
of Slavery equal in gravity to the moral involve
ments of tbe question, may not be doubted.
We beg our friend* in Pennsylvania, especially in
Philadelphia, to look sober.) and sentiently at tin*
qtie*tion.- and when they shall have resolved it
properly, Philadelphia and Pennsylvania will take
the stand nationally to which they are entitled, and
of which they have despoiled themselves by playing
tender to the Southern engnio?satellite to the aste?
roid of Slavery, ignorance, improvidence and folly.
We wore mistaken in supposing that the letter
which wo copied the other day from TV I'tita
Herald and written by O. C. Brown to his wife,
giving an account of tbe battle of Oawattamio, in
which he had just participated, waa written by
" Old Brown," of whom the Missouri Border Ruf?
fian* stand in such dread, and the idea of having
killed w bom caused them so much exultation. Mr.
O. C. Browu we have since learned i* uot " Old"
Brown, but ?nother very worthy representative
of the Brown family and tkva founder of Osawat
tnmie.
We are very happy, however, in being able to
state, on the authority of one of the letters we pub?
lish tr-day, that though mistaken as to his identity,
our announcement that "Old Brown" was not
killed, as the Ruffians hoped, i* perfectly correct.
The) succeeded in surprising before the tight began,
and murdering, with many cruelties, his son Fred?
erick, but "Old" Brown himself escaped their
clutches, and has arrived safely at Lawrence, with
his rifle in one hand and his revolver in the other.
He reports the loss of the Free-State men at four
killed, including his own son, surprised and mur?
dered before the battle, and we suppose the first
prisoner who was shot afterward. Of the murder
of Dutch Charley at Bull Creek, by the assembled.
Border Ruffians, he knew nothing. This murder
would make up the number of killed to five.
It has been our duty, from tine to time, to
chronicle a number of assaults upon members or
. supposed members of the Sun Francisco Vigilauce
Committee who happened to be in the city; but
yesterday one of their victims took steps, by way
of reprisal, in a more peaceable and lawful manner.
Mr. William T. Coleman, who, it is said, was
President of tbe Executive Committee, was arrested
and admitted to $50,1)01) bail in a suit brought by
John R. Malony to recover damage* for injury io
person and property in consequence of his im?
prisonment and expulsion from California. Mr.
Malony, it is affirmed, so far from being one of the
rascal* who h ive formed the bulk of the exiles, is
a very respectable gentleman. He was in charge
of Gov. Johnson'* arms and ammunition when
they were seized by the force* of the Committee.
After an imprisonment of several days he was
banished, on signing?if we are to belie re his own
itory?a paper affirming that bis departure waa
voluntary.
Mr. Malony's example in suing Mr. Coleman
may, and doubtless will, be followed by all the ras?
cals in whose company it was hi* mi*fortuue to
take steamer for thi* city. Strange that the Vigi?
lance Committee should have forgotten, that iu ban?
ishing criminals and dangerous characters from San
Francisco, they were banishiug themselves from the
rest of the couutry ? And passing strange that a
city should have been selected as the port of de?
liver}- w hich their ow n business engagements often
compelled them to visit. They should have fore?
seen that they would, a* a matter of course, be as?
saulted by the ruffians amoug their victims and
sued by the rest; and should have guarded against
a result which involved, not only persoual injury
and pecuniary loss, but a public exposure of
all their doings and the mortification of enriching
those w hom they banished or punished for the pub?
lic good. They ought to have accomplished their
purifying work with a keeuer eye to it* future con?
sequences to themselves.
?The Fremont and Dayton (Tub of the Town of

Struct si, September IS, 1856.
The Convention re-ase. mbled at 8 octnck this
morning.
Ji'DOK Edxonds, from the Committee on Resolu
Ikat, reported that the said Committee had a hard
duty ta perform. They had received request* ?o pits*
t<-olutions embodying the sense of the Convention on
Emigration and Naturalization. By other* thev had
been desired to express an opinion on Temps-nun,, and
on Governor Clark's Administration. The Committee,
however, thought that there wa* one issue that swal?
lowed up all other issues. They had therefore resolved
to h ave all such matters untouched. Ho then read
the address, which was confined soley to the Slavery
question, reviewing the aggressions of the South, re?
counting the ai ts which through a long series of years
had gradually aroused Northern indignation, until it
had reached a climax and broke forth in a storm that
? i 'Uld sweep away all former outrages; and declaring
the sole ls**X* with the people is the non-extension of
Slav ery.
The address also deelarges a desire not to interfere
with the right* of the South, and a firm determination
to resist the spread of Slavery over a foot of Free ter?
ritory, and concludes with a resolution indorsing the
platform of the Philadelphia Convention.

Col. Fremont: My friends and these gentlemen,

Critical friends, but being also your personal irieoaa,

late you as the standard-bearer of the great RcpuMicsn
party of the American Union?a party which, we
firmly believe, under God, ia destined to achieve o
moral and politic al revolution In November next, only
equal to that which made us a nation [Applause]. It
is not simply aa a politician that we feel an Interest ia
your welfare. As booksellers, we have long known
yon as an author by your writings [cheersj, for we are
femiliar with your "history as tbe great pioneer of the
Western World. We trust that the eingleneas of parj
pose and energy of character which have beeetof >re
characterized you will be manifested in your adminis?
tration of national affairs, when tbe Amerioan people
shall have placed you in tho Presidential chair [Ap?
plause]. I nope, on tbe 4th of March next, lo stand hy

In the following words i
I have to thank you, Gentlemen, for tlie orsportanity
to make your acquaintance. I trust In have optew
I tonitka, hereafter, of improving it [Apjdatrae]. It
! seems to be a distinguishing feature in this great rame
tnent of the people to regenerate the Government, that,
throughout the country, the men who ore rnro?eitatety
engaged In elevating and directing our aoetal progress,
are actively and cordially at work with as. Almost
daily wc have startling evidences that tlie heart of tho
entire People is in tin* movement: and your visit of

indications. In this connection it Is fail of promise
and encouragement; and I, therefore, return yon my
Moelc thanks for the trouble you hare tokats 11 make
this open expression of your sympathies for she cause.
I am glad, too, of this occasion, to say t'iat k a a sig?
nal gratification to find that in the stand w.- have
taken to maintain the integrity of our political Repub?
lic, we are to have the warm support of the great Re?
public of Letters, in which first we must alwava hope to
find ita perpetuity (Applause). It is not difficult to
see that you are fully prepared to give a more empbatio
expression to your sympathies In Novtmbor next
I Chrers). There w as a law of old Athens which yoO.
Gentlemen, will especially remember, that decreed
capital punishment to those who had the right to rote
and failed to exercise it. It ia very clear that none of
you would be obnoxious to this law" nest Noeesabar.
