IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.

The steamship America arrived on the 4th
inst, with Liverpool dates to the 23d ult.-
The news from the Seat of war is important
The French and English troops, on the 18th
attacked the Redan and Malakoff forts, and
were repulsed by the Russians with great
slaughter. Private dispatches fix the loss at
no fewer than 4 200 men in killed and wound
ed including General Campbell and seventy
six other officers. In the English Parliament
Mr.. Roebuck has made another motion for
vote of censurc, with regard to the management
Of the war.
LArER.-The steamship Pacific arrived at
New York, on Wednesday morning last. The
news by this arrival consists almost entirely of
details of the intelligence already transmitted
by telegraph, but correspondence does not come
down so late as the 18th June, on which day
the Allies made their unsuccessful attempt to
storm Sebastopol The allied losses on that
occasion were oycrratcd, yet the official lists of
killed and wounded foot up considerably over
5000 men. Notwithstanding this check the
investing Army keep in good spirits and do not
permit their repulsc to stay the progress of the
siege. Lord Raglan is dangerously i'll and has
asked to be recalled. Sir George Brown is
also on the sick list. RumorS of battle on the
Tchernaya and elsewhere had caused some dis
traction to SPECTATORS, but were untrue
There is no immediate indication of further
operations on the Sea of Azof or in the Bal
| tic
Administrative reform keeps its ground in
England. Capitalists are exercised respecting
the probable amount and conditions of the
new French loan. Austria continues to dis
band her army. Elsewhere in Europe every
thing is dull

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

A Democratic State Convention was held at
Harrisburg, on the Fourth day of July, for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for Canal
Commissioner. Bradford County was not re-
presented in the Convention, though there was
a pretty full attendance of delegates. The Con
vcntion was permanently organized by the cleo
ton of the following officers -
President-J. CLANCY JONES, of Berks
Tee PresMcntS.-Joel B. Danner, of Adams
Cameron Lockhard, of Carbon jesse Leazar,
Of Greene John M'Carty, of Philadelphia CO.
Nathan Worley, of Lancaster Thos. Adams,
of Perry j. Il. Jones, of Sullivan Thomas
Grove, of York John Piatt, of Lycoming
David r. Miller, of Allegheny Jesse john
ston, of Bucks Wilson Laird, of Erie Ritter
Boyer, of Chester Charles Carter, of Beaver;
Timothy Ives of Potter Joseph Lppincott,
of Philadelphia Asa Lathrop, of Susquehan-
ma Il. W. Weaver of Columbia
Secretaries.-Ale Mckinney, of Westmorc-
land John A Innis, of Northampton Thos.
A. Mcguire, of Cambria VIM. B. MGrath
of Philadelphia John Orr, of Franklin.
A resolution was adopted, that the candi-
dates for Canal Commissioner be pledged that
they are not KnowNothings, nor never intend
to be, and that the State Central Committee
shall put the nominee under bonds that he is
not member Of the order, or in case of his
declining to take such a pledge, the Committee
is authorized to make a nomination in his
stead.
The Convention then proceeded to ballot for
a candidate for Canal Commissioner with the

have been great-too great to admit OF follow
ers if they had been known. The last OF these
mutations. or rather the one before the last,
(for there are but few who can 60 the whole
length of the three propositions in the Oregon
sneech) has been adopted by large political
nartv and acted upon, and with deplorable
effect to the country.
Holding the Missouri Compromise to have been
unconstitutional, they have abrogated it as a
nullity and in so doing have done more to
disturb the harmony of this Union, to unsettle
its foundations, and to shake its stability than
any act, or all acts put together since the
commencement of the federal government
This lamentable act could not have been done
could not have found party to do it-lt
Mr.. Calhoun had not changed his opinion on
the constitutionality of the Missouri COmpro-
mise line. or could have recollected in lS4S that
he approved that line in 1920, and that he saw
nothing unconstitutional in it as late as 1888.
The change being now shown, and the imper-
fecton of his memory made manifest by his
own testimony, it becomes certain that the new
doctrine was an after-thOught, disowned by its
antecedents, and which its author would have
been stopped from promulgating If their ante
cedentS had been recollected. History now
pleads it as an estoppel against his followers
Mr. Monroe in his letter to General Jackson
Immediately after the establishment Of the
Missouri Compromise, said that compromise
settled the slavery agitation which threatened
to break up the Union Thirty-four years of
quiet and harmony under that settlement bear
witness to the truth of these words, spoken in
the fulness of patriotic gratitude at seeing his
country escape from great danger. The year
1884 has seen the abrogation of that cOmpr0-
mise, and with its abrogation the revival of
the agitation, and with force and fury never
known before. And now may be seen in fact
what was alphabetically foreseen by Mr..
Calhoun in 1888, when, as the fruit of this
agitation, he saw the destruction Of all sympathy
between the two sections Of the Union, obliter-
alton from the memory of all proud recolectioas
of former common danger and glory, hatred
in the hearts of the North and South more
deadly than ever existed between two neighbor-
ing nations May we not have to witness the
remainder of his prophetic VISION" Two
PEOPLE MADE OF ONE J"

selves accept the awess acts of armed and organized
bands from adjoining states, an illustration of the doc
trine Of popular sovereignty but intended only to affirm
the great principle of the right of the actual bona de
settlers of the Territories to regulate their domestic
affairs in their own way without interference from any
quarter.
This was also, of course, laid upon the table
and Mr.. CHASE thereby given to understand
that he must not expect the Convention to do
anything which would look like rebuking the
excesses of the slavery-propagandists.
The general understanding is, that the no.
mination of ARNOLD PLUMMER is "feeler" put
forward for pushing Mr.. BUCHANAN for the
Presidency-hence the Convention were afraid
to express the feelings of the Frcemen of Penn
sylvania in regard to the recent Outrages in
Kansas, perpetrated upon the actual settlers
by ATcHIsoN & Co. We prophesied some
weeks since, that Gov REEDER would be struck
down in the house of his friends and the late
Democratic Convention has aimed the first
blow. Notwithstanding the Democratic press
of the State has spoken out in defence of Gov.
REEDER and in rebukc of the border ruf1ians'
who invaded the territory of Kansas, with
bowie-knife and revolver to ntimidate and over
awe its true settlers, setting law and order at
defance-the State Convention, the exponent
of the sentiment of the party in this State, has
not one word to say in defence of the rights of
settlers and of the principle of popular sover-
eighty" so ruthlessy invaded. At time when
the people of the North without exception
without regard to party or previous action, was
uttering its adherence and detcstation of the
scenes recently enacted in Kansas, and sustain
ing and applauding Gov. REEDER for his noble
efforts to administer the laws and protect the
rights of franchise and personal time too,
when personal violence is threatened and the
influence of the pro-slavcry party exerted to
overthrow him 1T seems to us to be no more
than justice that the Democratic State Con-
venton of his own State should have given
him the encouragement and support of an ex-
preston in his favor. We believe that the
people Of the State, expected as much and
that they will hardly be satisfied with less.
But Mr. BUCHANAN's friends in the Conven-
tion are playing the dough-face game of truck
ling for Southern support for their candidate
for the Presidency. The South sustans ATcHI-
son in his determination and outrageous plans
to force slavery upon the people of Kansas
The South demands the removal of Gov. REED
Err because he did not acquieSce in the schemes
of the amiable SrRINGFELLow. To have ap-
plauded REEDER, might have injured the pro-
Spccts of g PcnnsylvanaS favorite son"-so
REEDER goes yerboard-sacrifced to the Mo-
loch of Slavery. VIII the people of Pennsyl
vania endorse such action, or be a party to
such schemes? p? Has our belligerent friend
CHASE, enough pluck to fight, or will he quiet
ly carcss the hand which cuffed him so sound
ly? We shall see.
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1855-07-14

Gov. REEDER Governor Reeder
was assaulted on his return to Kansas, by Gen
Stringfellow, the editor of the L" .Squattsr
.SOreeign," aud the ringleaders of all the
troubles in that territory. He took advantage
of Reeder while he was leaning in his chair,
threw him over, and in the scul1le, the face Of
the Governor was scratched, but he very soon
cast Stringfellow of, and rose to his feet
Both parties drew pistols, and in long letter
in the Journal of Commerce, we learn that
Stringfellow was within an ace of getting shot
by Gov. Reeder. Stringfelow was seized by
two individuals present, when Reeder dropped
the muzze of his pistol, saying he scorned to
attack man who was prevented from defend.
ing himself. VIII the government provide
some means of defending its officers against
these brutal outrages, or is it intended thatthe
mob shall take possession of the territory?

PENNSYLVANIA RELIEF NOTES.-The report
that these notes would not be received here
after for taxes in Pennsylvania is Incorrect
On the contrary State law took effect on the
lst inst, requiring them to be received for
taxes, or redeemed in par funds by the State
Treasurer and then destroyed, while banks,
county treasurers, toll collectors, ect, are
expressly prohibited from paying them out
This is an excellent law aud should be strictly
observed, as gold and silver are abundant
throughout the country.
