COUNTY CONVENTION.

We would again take occasion to direct the
attention of our Republican friends to the del
gate elections on Saturday next, and to urge
upon them the great Importance of attending.
There should be such turn out to these meet
ings as will express the feelings and wishes of
the electors Not for the purpose of forward
ing the interests of any aspirant, but that the
town may be suitably represented. s-.
We have no desire nor intention to dictate
or interfere in the least, in these primary MAJ
ters, for we have no choice amongst all the
names we have heard proposed, but in our
Judgment, the safest plan is to select the very
best men in the district, who will be guided
in their actions by sincere desire to advance
the great principles of freedom, and permit
may be instructed in the feelings aud wishes
of the voters We trust that the Republican
party being founded solely upon principle, will
sternly frown upon the employment Of the tricks
SO common in politics, and will regard the fill
ling of offices rather as an unavoidable neces-
Sity, than as dcsidcratum.
We hold, as we have before stated, that no
man has peculiar claim upon any office. The
nomination should be the free Offering of the
Conyention-and not attained by personal APP
pealS and efforts
1t should also be recolected, that the Coun-
ty Convention will convene on -HOnday erening.
We anticipate that it will be composed of able
and Jealous members, inspired only by a desire
to advance the cause of Freedom.

Constitution the South claims gives
them the right to take and hold slaves there,
and which construction the Courts would pro
badly approve. 8 III 0t
Popular sovereignty in its true and lawful
Specification applies to the formation of ofaState
Constitution, and the government of State.
The people of u State are sovereign. They
elect their own rulers, enact their own laws,
and are Independent Of the general government
except as regards certain rights surrendered
to form the Union. The people of territory
are in far different position, Congress pro
vides for its organization and for its support.
The sovereignty is not in thepeople ofthe Ter
ritory for they can do nothing without the aid
or sanction of the general government. The
President appoints its officers. Congress may
repeal its laws The people of the territory
are not the sovereigns-but may become soby
forming State Constitution and by admission
into the Union. Until that time they are sub
ject to the control of Congress.
Congress possesses the power to legisiate
upon the subject of Slavery in the Territories,
and may exclude it. Such is the position of
the Republican party and such has been the
action of Congress from the foundation of the
government 1t has repeatedly excluded Sla-
very from territory, provided for the extinction
of the foreign shave trade, and regulated the
domestic traffic If it does not possess the
power then it cannot delegate authority it has
not itself, to the people of territory The
Southern doctrine in regard to this is correct.
Northern men must take one position or the
other, for squatter sovereignty will before
long be as undemocraticn the canons of the par
ty as is now the Wilmot proviso.
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1856-08-28
TROUBLE IN KANSAS.

The accounts which we publish in another
column, show that the difficulties in Kansas
are far from being ended, and that the Free
State party are in very great danger of being
driven from the Territory by foray of armed
SOutherners and and border rutfians Antci-
pating the passage of TooMBs' bill, or some
other measure which should give up Kansas to
Slavery, armed bands of ruiIiaas have en-
camped within the territory in obedience to the
call Of SrRINGrEILow, waiting for the moment
for action to arrive
These armed and organized rufians have no
purpose except to drive out the Free-State
settlers and deliver the Territory over to the
slaye-owners. They have gone into the terri
tory without any idea of peaceably settling it,
without farmers utensils and unaccompanicd
by wives and children lowering about the
borders, or cncanpcd in strong pro-slavery
neghborhoodS, they have been committing
constant depredations upon the property Of the
subsisted waiting in expectation of general
border ruffan movement to " crush out" the
free-state settlers.
This purpose has become so plain that the
free-state party have appealed to their friends
east for aid, and have sent messenger to
President PIERCE asking for assistance to pro-
tect their persons and property from the anti
cipated foray. 1t seems that the quie0 of the
few past weeks, has been but the Stiffness that
portends the impending STORM. The indigni-
ties and the depredations committed upon the
free-state settlers led to remonstrance. The
messenger sent to the proslavery camp, though
'unarmed and on peaceful mission, was seized
and shot. This horrid outrage, of which say
age nations would not be guilty, has raised the
blood Of the Northern men, and they have de-
termned to submit to these wrongs no longer
Gen. SMITH has told them they must protect
themselves, and they are acting in defence of
their families and property.
These occurrences have created intense eX-
citemcnt along the Missouri border. The ruff
fans who have already on more than one oc-
casion invaded the Territory, to control the
elections are preparing to throw themselves
upon the free-State men for their annihlation.
We have no doubt that the latter, fighting in
as holy IL cause as animated their forefathers,
will prove worthy descendants of the patriots

The NEXT CONGRESS- will contain many Of
the members of the present one, if the Repub-
lican party should carry the same districts as
at the last contest. In Ohio, already, a nun,
Der Of the Republican members have rcroa.-
mated, as also in Indiana In Pennsylvania
We have noticed the denomination of Mes,gs.
Coyode and Knight 1t is good policy to re-
tain old members, when their course has been
satisfactory to their constituents, as new ones
always labor under great Disadvantages at
" Washington, and session must pass away b.
fore they become habituated to the tactics and
rules of the House Virginia generally re-
elects nearly her whole delegation and the
changes are so few as always to insure her a
large share of attention at Washington on ac'
count of the experience Of her representatives.
