Bro. Cowles : I am happy to know that, that good old puritan principle is being renewed, that religion should leaven our politics; and I am glad that you and the Independent are advocating the right in the election of Fremont. In our usual elections, when parlies are divided about banks, tariffs, and public inuus, u nrisuan can cardly (eel a deep interest, and if he does, it is a most sure presage of backsliding. But the case is different now. The division is one in which fundamental moral and religious principles are concerned; and I do not see any reason that it should hinder piety, but many that it 8 Jiould promote it, to take an active and efficient part in the election. We can and ought to carry our cause to tne throne of grace and plead with our covenant God for success. And I think if we shall do so, all Christian affections will be quickened, and our hei.rts piepared to labor for a revival of religion. My view of slavery is that it is a usurpation of man's rights and of God's prerogative. That it is a usurpation of man's rights, all believe who adopt the declaration of independence. To me it is equally clear that it is a usurpation of God's prerogative. God is King over all the earth. All creatures and all things belong to him, and whatever rights man has, he has as a grant from God. We read in his book that God gave to man "dominion over the fish of the tea, and over the fowls of the air, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon toe eartn; out nowuere, mat lie gave to man Bny dominion ovtr his fellow man. That dominion is the Lord's. The slaveholder does, then, put himself, in relation to his slave, into a place and exercises authority which belongs only to God. He therefore usurps God's prerogative, and the whole system is as bold a transgression as the religion of the Grand Llama of Thibet, and 1 can no more acknowledge the validity of any laws maintaining slavery, than 1 could a law requiring me to worship Brama or Vishnu. The recent outrages in Kansas I regard as the natural fruit of the svsiem. as trulv as the peach is the natural fruit of thp peach-tree. With these views, I think it just as easy to perceive where duty lies, as it would be if the Question were whether T should cc- perate with a party of idolaters g'tirimte 'ru'18 f 'batgun-powder-bible-or with ChrisiiHns. I preaching which they and them suppor- Hilherto both parties have proested to' l!r9 at t,le Nortl1 have advoca ed. Etch be doing their best for freedom, and there ' B'l3e ore doubtless to blame. It flamatory may have been room to doubt which it was' nPP-'a,s r circulated both South and safest to trust, but there is no longer any I Nor'h, and reports, false or exaggerated, room lor any 6ucn aouot. The one party is avowedly the advocate of slavery, the oihr of freedom, The one tries to mystify the subject, and may deceive some ignorant people; but they can muke but the one issue. How any Christian man, any friend of his country, any lover of freedom, can vote for the party that patronizes murder and robbejy for the sako of establishing slavery, I cannot imagine; nor yet how he can throw away his vote upon a question not in issue, and which cannot be brought into issue in this election. The time has its work, which is as great as it can do, to put the government into the hands of men who will be true to freedom and right, to admit Kansas as a free state, and to eiclude slavery from tho territories. When that is done we shall find more work, nnd hearts to do it. Many have not known what they could do. The advocates of slavery have forced a work upon us which we can do. We need make no issues. Providenct will make them as fast as we are ready to meet them. We have no hope, or wish, or praver for quiet tillslauery is utterly exterminated. Slavery, in its mad effort to recover power, will compel other issues than the one now before us. Let us do the work of the time, and await that which is to come. We have the man for the time and the work. He was not my choice, but the more I reflect upon it, tne more I am persuaded that he is sent of God for the crisis. The man, in his energy and self reliance. his calm dignity and rectitude, his patience and perseverance, his promptness and decision, is the embodiment of freedom. His whole life is a protest against bondage. Born in a slave state, without wealth, and with the who'e superincumbent weight of society to repress bim, he has thrown it oft, risen above it, formed a noble character, and won an honorable name. Married to the wife of a slaveholder both he and his wi.e have chosen to work with their own hands rather than to own a slave. This is his record the protest of a life-time against the institution of slavery. What need we a better? It is written in every act of his life, in which opportunity has been given to testify against human bondage.Let every man ponder carefully his duly in this juncture before he makes up his mind to withold his vote, or throw it away. No man can divide his responsibility. If be votss for slavery, he is as guilty before God as if he alone decided the question between slavery and freedom. That is his act of sovereignty. By that be says, "Let the course spread; or if he votes for freedom, that vote is his voice; by that he says, "Iforbid." Or if he throws away his vote or witholds it, he says, "It is nothing to me." I have nothing to say of that noble man OHIO, TUESDA Y MOUMNG, SllPT. Gerrit Smith, ho Home of our fiieinfs wish to elevate to the prtaidei.ey, but ;lii-: I have loved him i ince I fire I saw him in the first U. S. Temperance Convention,twenty-three years ago. But lie can't be elec t d; nnd if he could, with my present views I must prefer Fremont. His life fins been spent at h distance from the s'rifes of the age. Ilu has made himsi ll obm Xio to no personul animosity, to no party uitju licet, and if he is not better fuadfied to con duct the nation at this ciitical en8..n, he is belter situated. His conscii nee is hot debauched by political life, neilh. r is his temper soured by us con .ids. He comes fresh from connection with na ur, Hnd we trust uli-o wiih God, having sufficient acquaintance with society nnd government, and a mind cspable of judging what the times demand and firmness of principle to do it. And it seems to me any man owes it to God and his country to do what he-can to put the government in his hands in connection with others like him in their views of slavery. There is ot.e view of this subject that, I tlijnk, has been too much overlooked. We have considered the relation of slavery to humanity and man, and not its relation to puniy and to God, as we should have done. You, or Borne of vour readers, may think I have used strong langunge. Consider, 1 pray you, if it is stronger than truth. Does not slavery rob God and usuro his authority? How then can we consent to it without as great guilt ns if we consented to any form of id .latr; ? II. C. J. PRESIDENT PIERCE ON THE OUT-EAGES IN KANSAS. Interview with tac Kan mix Committee. To the Xutiorml Kansas Committee: The undersigned, in obedience to your instructions, waited on President Pierce on the 30lh ult., and prayed his interposition against the threatened Slave Oligarchic in vasions of Kansas. The following is a summary oi results: VIEWS OF TUB PRESIDENT. The opinions expressed by the Executive are substantially as follows: "While Government has been exhausting its constitutional powers (which are limited) to maintain order, Kansas Aid Societies have been actively siirring up rebellion. A factious spirit among the people of Kansas, respectii g institutions which I they need not have concerned themselves bout, and which would have all come right in time, originated the troubles. From the nature, habiti and education of the boider-men, it was natural to find them exciied by such an agitation. At this cri sis, the North, instead of sending in tinned men, who went about boasting of their ability to protuct themselves, should have sent in order-loving and law abiding ci i-zens; should have sent in peace-seeking men, who would have promoted concord by moial agencies by bibles rather than ' by Sharpe's rifles. Such a coursa would bave strengthened the hands of the Presi dent, instead of tying them, as they had been. The sufferings of the settlers are therefore of their own seeking, and the le , F"1- lul1" ,"j "c",cu jjnmamw tosur up sec tional strife. If each party would only g--t rid of about a hundred of their designing and restless leaders, agitation would cease, and a speedy end be put to the disorders. "The interposition of the Executives is claimed by both sides, each party urging against the other exactly the same charges. At his distance from the scene of strife, the President c innot determine between them. His ac ion must be guided by official reports. Gen Smith communicates a very different condition of thii.gs from the exaggerated statements which have gone abroad. No apprehension of an armed invasion need be apprehended. But, should it happen, the whole power of the Government will be exerted to repel it, come from uhutever source it may. The army in Kansas is not there to prevent or correct outrages unless they amount to invasion or insurrection. The civil power alone is competent to this. Application should be made there. Gen. Smith had no power to redress the wrongs of Mr. S.rawn. lie applied to the wrong quarter. He should have gone to the Courts. As to granting him an escort, 'Gen. Smi h thought if Mr. Strawn was sra irt enou gh to find his way safely to him without one, he ought to be able to find his way back!' The Courts are open to all classes ot citizens without distinction. No authentic information has ever reached the Ex cmive of an individual who has sought a redress of wrongs at the hands of the civil poaer in Kansas, and failed to obtain it. If the majority of the people in Kansas had wanted peace and quiet, they could have had it. The way to get it was for the settlers among themselves to frown down all agitation growing out of difTerenees of opinion as to local institutions. The Execu.ive had always felt solicitous about the Territory, and bad exerted his constitutional powers to their full extent to preserve order. The affair at Lawrence had given him great anxiety, and he at that time telegraphed both to Col. Sumner and Gov. Shannon, besides sending a special messenger. (Here the President produced copies of Lis telegraphic despatches, which we believe, were made public at the time.) The outrages at Lawrtnce were not done by authority. The President admits that mistakes have been made, as is evident by his removal of Shannon. But an impartial man has now gone there, who will see justice done to both parties. If he should catch either party in acts of violence, they shall be hong up on the spot. The Civil Power of the Territory must be maintained I" opinion or tub rntsf dm . 1. That Government has not the power to protect emigrants en route for the Territory, because of the jurisdiction of the States ; consequently, outrages committed on the hiliwuys of the nv.iuii can only bu riditsneil by the Courts of the re p eiivi; Si ticsoiiwiio eSi.il sikI) ourngia were cominitti d. 2 That Government hits no power to prev. r,i or redress ouirnges cuniimited wi bin (he Territory, i xct pi thioih t .e tivn nun, or uy m riiui mri, 3. Tlial the military can only aid the civil power as a pobstu comimtus ; consequently.4 Government haing jr. vided a legal mode of reiins for the M-tthrs, ami btit ngthtned ii by a pox.ie at all times av iliable, the limit is Ri ll the setilers where they have tailed to get ironciion or redress ; they have failed in get it either becaii e they v. ere not law nbiding ciii zens, or because they made application to the military, which was the wronn; source from whence to seek it. 5. That the mere possession of ni ms by emigrants entering the Territory is not prima lacie evidence of threatened invasion, and that the mere possesion of arms by settlers within the Territory is not prima facie evidence of threatened insurrection ; that the beanng ot arms is n Constitution al privilege which distinguishes American cini'ena ; and that even Government itself lias no right, under such circumstances, to disarm them. REPLY OF THE COMMIT! EE. Mr. President, during the eighteen months or moie that executive power has been ex rted as is alleged, to preserve peace in Kansas, and vainly ixerted it would seem from admia-iuna here made, the disorders of that Territory have grown only worse. At this moment they are more threatening than ever; a peaceful solution of its irouid. 8 seems still more uncertain thnn at any period of its former history The President affirms that he has exhaus ted all his constitution il powers. And yet order is not restored. Underi.uch circum stances may it not be worth while to inquire whether the geim of the evils is not to be found in the Territorial laws themselves ? President This question I do not propose to discuss at the pres. n time. Committee-From wlwevt r source.tln n, Sir.thedifficultus in Kusns has originated, this one thing is patent to the country nnd to the world ; that, notwithstanding all the effoits of (he Government, disorders of the most frightful character have prevailed ; disoi'deis that would shame the worst des potisius of the worst ages ; disorders so wide spread nnd so atroci..us, so bloody and so internal, so deeply damning and so inhuman, that, to escape them, the wie.cli cd inhabitants would make a gain if tians-feried to the depotiu Governments of Uu-i i ia, or Auslria or if France. During the dark reign of bio -d and terror ; during this te irful tempest of violence and anarchv, these poor unshielded victims of plotted vengeance have broken n i law and c m mi led no crime. For h iting Slavery because they loved Liberty, nli these things have come upon them. "Such Sir, is the nature and character of the events which have iranspiired in Kansas during the past eigh ei-n months' policy of the Government. As r"pres n taives of the National K insas Commi tee, we are here to day to ask whether any change in this policy of the Administration is to he ixpec.eil ?" Pitsident No Sirs ! There will be none !'' Such gentlemen of the National Ktnpns Committee, is the substance ot our interview with President Pierce. The duty of commenting on the facts here stated we have to you. Our mission is ended. Respectfully, &c, THADDEUS HYATT, W. F. M. ARNY, EDWARD DANIELS, Sub Com of National Kansas Cora. New York, Sept. 1, 1856. LETTER OF THOMAS W. BARTLY TO JACOB BKINKERH00F. Mansfield, O., Jan. 27, 1847. Dear Sir : 1 discover that great efforts are making in Congress to place two or three millions ol dollars in the bands ot the President to use in effecting a peace with Mexico, for one, I say that und r no circumstances whatever, would I yield the Wilmot Provision. If Northern territory is to be puiclused now, now is the time, and the only rffectual time, to say slavery or not slavery. 1 am aware that some of our Demociatio friends say that he question of slavery ought not to be drawn into this matter. 1 am sorry that they are so blind or heedless of the evi dent design of southern politicians. It is time high time, that northern and western democrats should not be hoodwinked by soutl em politicians, southern artifices, nnd southern treachery. No man of common sagacity, whose senses are not deluded, can have any doubt about the design and the sole design ol southern politicians. If I were in Con gress, I would see the political elements crumble into dissolution before I would be overreached by southern treachery. I see some lick spittle resolutions adopted by Wilson Shannon, and some of bis minions at St. Clairsville, Ohio, lately, got up no doubt, on some promise from some quarter, of another sop, such as that political charlatan took on a former occa-ion to be tray his friends into the arms of the Tyler party. These expressions of opinion got up by influences at Washington amount lo nothing. I would sustain Mr. Polk all lengths but when it comes to the purchase of M x-ican territory to come into the Union, it cannot be said too soon thnl il is not the ob ject or design of the only truly free govern ment in the world to extend the domains of slavery. Such I believe to be the general feeling of our Ohio people, Democrats as well as Whigs. If Ohio is to be divided into two Judicial circuits for the United 8 ales Courts, please see without fail that the terms of the southern districts are fixed for the second Monday of Mat and the third Monday of November. Any other arrangement will create difficulty in case of a division. In haste, your friend and ob't servant 8igned T. W. BARTLEY.

The undersigned has been a practicing physician in Weston, Platte countv. Mo.. from the spiin.f of 1830 to the last of Ai.nl, 11)54. J roiri that timo lo the 2d of September, I860, I have resided in Lea venworth city, Kansas Terri ory, engaged in tne latter place, viz: Leavenworth city. .i. . i . . . . ... in ine ousiness ot druggist and practicing physician, and am one of the thirty-two original proprietors of L'Bvenworth. "With the exception of four or five who resided at Fort Leavenworth, the Leavenworth association was composed o' those of us who had long resided in Weston and vicinity, slid feeling a lively interest in the unparalleled growth and luture prosperity of the place as one of the original proprietors, and owning a large number of lots thnl must be exceedingly valuable if Kansas should be made a free Stele, and believing that the advantages for educa ion, internal improvements, and increase in value of real estate, was greatly in favor of a free State, I expressed my pieferences that it should be made such, and unfortunately, perhaps, had voted for the T. peka constitution with the free State party, hut had refiajned fiom taking any nc ive part in polities generally, and had endeavored to pursue a strictly conservative couise. On Monday night I wa9 called upon by Fred Emory at the bend of an armed company. He ask' d me if I as a law and order man. I replied, I am sir." He next inquired in caau of invasion if I would take up aims in favor of the pro slavciy party. I repli. d that he knew I was lame in eon-scqm nee of a fractured leg. but that I would do anything in my pow. r consistently to protect the town. He r plied, "That is right; that, is sufficient. You can go to bed and sleep qui tly." Bat the ncx' morning he again en led on meat the head of nn aimed body of men, nnd in the m-'ist peremptory manner informed me that I must leavo forthwith, I told him that I had a large sioi k of goods, nnd asked it' I could have time to pack them. He told m I must hasten down immedi iti-ly lo the ooai men lying at the l-vee, steam 'r E'n ma, and Raid it was then w-iting nnd woull soon be on. 1 Immediate v missed intn the house ihrouyh my store, and requested my wife to prepare in a hurry to lake the steamer then at the lev e. We gathered up in iheco'.fmion nnd liable a lew clothes for the fiioiily, I locked the slor door and pnssed lo the b- ck door, which I locked, and with my family of four children, including n very sick babe an two other sn-k children, and fteb e wife, hastened upon the boat, leaving a stock of drugs and medicines co-ling me over 84,000, besides all my family library, beds and bedding, household furniture, etc. I left the store key wiih a friend I met with on the boat before I left. There were persons in the company engaged in driving me off, owing me borrowed money, and on account. About ihirty persons were diiven upon the same boat in a similar m nm r. S. NORTON, M. D. STATEMENT OF FRANK QUINTAL. Mb. Editor: As many of my fellow citizens have thought it best to furnish you with a true statement of the great wrongs that have been inflicted upon us, I also take advantage of your columns to add my statement. I went to Leavenworth city eaily in April, 1055, from Morgan county Illinois, all at that time being quiet. 1 took my wife along with me. Sion after arriving there I engaged in business, which was purchasing vegetables, poultry, etc , in Missouri, nnd hauling and selling the 8Bine at Leavenworth City. Afti r-warks I opened a store, and continued following my business, attending to it, and nothing else, up lo last Monday, when I was informed by the mob. under the command of Capt. Emory, Wm. Russell (o-the firm of Majors efc Russell) and others, that I was a free State man, and must leave forthwith; or, if I stayed, I must prepare to die, or take up arms and fall in the ranks. I told them that I would nol fight with them, that I had never s i I or done anything that was in violation ol the laws of my country. They then ordered me to leave at once, not giving me time to settle up my business, or anything else. The steamer Emma came to our landing during the morning; I was waited upon again by the mob, and told to take my wile and go on board the boat at once. I asked them to let me '.nke my goods with me, but they told me I should noi, and said, "Go at once, or we will shoot you on sight." I called my wife, the mob hi I the timo telling me to hurry up. As soon as she could put on her bonnet, she came to the door, and the mob started us ahead of them, nnd followed us down to the bo it thus compelling me to leave behind my all in the woild, which cost me i.bout 8500; and this has been the fate of all who, when asked, merely said they were in favor of a free Stale. This has been my only crime, and for this I have been driven from my home, forced to leave all the worldly effects I had to the mercy of an infuriated mob. In addition to my stock of goods, I had also bought a lot of ground from Thomas Slocum, adjoining the store of Majors efe Russell, on which I had almost enough lumber hauled lo put up a house, which 1 intended to have commenced in short time. I have written the most important facts in relation to myself ; but I cannot attempt to describe the awful state of things that exist there. I have scea men killed NO 45 and sc.ilj edtn one or two instances for nothing in ihu woil 1, i nly telling the ir:lr Alien asked then politics. The murder of Mr, Phillip and brother was the most cold blooded murder ever coiumi.ted lu ilia count' y. Tne mob attempted lo search his pr mists; he foib ide them, and like si ruau defended them, by killing one man aad wounding another, for which ho was fired at by at least 20 men, and I. is body-completely riddled with b .lis. Such acts as the above are more than tKsti and blood" can stand. , I will encroach no more on vour time.. but I cannot give you anything like all the atro';i:iis committed in that teriiiory. I am willing lo bu sworn lo the above stato meut. FRANK QUINTAL! 6TV1IMRNT OF MILTON . CLARK. Kr. Loin, S pt. Cth, 185G. I hereby ceriily thnl I have been a resi-' dent of the ci y of Leavenwor.h, K. T., some fourteen months, and have been en gaged in the proviion and grocery bu-iness there up to Tue.-dMy last. When I was quietly attending to my business.iwo armsd men came into my store and ordered me to leave the city immediately, and gi t on the steamer Emma, then at the levee, bound for St. Lmui8. I had a 1 iige slock of groceries in store, and they would not allow mtr to take t lem away, and I was obliged to get an order from Cupt. Emciy, the cap tain oi the ruffians, before I could lake away my trunk... The two men who or-dered mu away were Mr. Washbuine, who keens tho ferry, nnd Mr. Hyatt. They saiu they ac ed under orders, and to'd me the sooner I left the better. I am formerly from the Suite of Ohio, but since my residence in Leavenworth, I have never taken sides with either party, nor have I proclaimed my sentimeuts. I was told that I could not stay in the Territory unless I would take up arr.s againt the d d abli ionists, as they meant to expel eveiy one from the Territory. There were about toity others driven away on the same day thai I was. All my hard earnings for years were in my s:oek of goods which is now in tie hands of my e nemies. My clerk urged them to allow hira lo stay and take charge of my property, assuring tlura that he was from Kntucky. But they utterly re fused to allow him tostny, unless he would take up arms against the freo Stale men. He therefore was obliged lo heave, wiih me. Capt. E ery, with about one hundred armed men, rode through the str elf, proclaiming that the boat was wailing, and every if -d abolitionist had better be off. In hddition to niery's company there weit about oBts hundred armed men drawu up to guard ihe boat lo prevent any escape. I am now in this ci y nearly destitute of mean. The day beforo l" left, several free S ate meu were shot by Cupt. Emery's party. Am ng them were two brothers by the name of Poiliips. None of the free State men made! any resistance, excepting Phillips, the lawyer. He was in his htuse, and seeing that they were determined to mur lerhira, he resolv-el to sell his life as dearly as pos ible, and declared to them he should defend his house, hnd if they entered, it would be at the peril of their lives. They did nt h-ed his threats, but rushed in. and Philips drew his revolver and shot two of them dead, when he was pierced by a dnzen balls and expired instantly. He was left ling in his blood all day. Finally they took the furniture out of the house, and had determined to set it on fire. The-y also took the furniture out of several other houses with the determination of burning them. The brother of Phillips was shot at the same time, but lived until Tuesday morning. A Grrman was taken prisoner as he wn9 about leaving the boat, and was taken back and instantly shot dead. An American, by the name of Hopps, who was coming into Leavenworth, was stopped when' within two miles of the citr, and shot deid. Tho ruffitns took his scalp and returned to Leavenworth. I make this statement to let the world know what is astually going on in the territory, and have lelated nothing but what 1 am willing to testify to under oath. MILTON E. CLARK.
