Wo shall not be nble to publish entire Gov. lteedcr's letter declin ing for Fremont, we therefore make the following pointed extracts, it opens ns follows : "With Colonel Frtmont I nm unacquainted. I have never seen him, nor hod any communication with him, direct or in direct, verbal or written. On the other hand, my feelings of friendship and admir at ion for Mr. Buchanan, as a man, are of do ordinary character, andjnre strengthened by ear of friendly intimacy and recip rocal acts of kindness, uninterupted to this time by a single misunderstanding or un pleasant feeling : and I would at uuy time detend lum promptly and indignantly ngainct personal attacks upon his reputation. 1 believe him to be a man of distinguished ability, of high integiity and valuable experience. lie is surrounded, too, in Pennsylvania by many political friends,whom personally llove and esteem, and to whom 1 am united by ties of long cherished political and social intimacy, nnd the loss of whose friendship I should regard as a great calamity. For more than a quarter of a century I have steadily labored with the democratic party, and never doubted that I hhould do so during my Hie. For j ears I have exerted myself to bring about Mr. Buchanan's nomination. In 1840 and 1852 I was one of those who enrried for him the delegates of onr dis-ttict, and wss his zealous and ardent sup-pi iter. On end) occasion I was in the utt-tional convulsion as one of his delegates. "These tiisaio exceeding!' strong and hard to sever, especially with one who is naturally of a conservative cast, and slow to change old lmbiis of thought nud action; and 1 have resis ed for months the convic-t'ons that were urging me to my preicnt declaration. 1 have diligmtly Bought reasons and argumtnU to save mycelf the pain of breaking tip old associations and alienating myself from my old friends, but all in vain. My love of country and hatied of oppression would not allow my feelings and inclinations either to delude my jude ment or still my conscience, and I am com pilled to forfeit my self-respect by commit ling what I believe to be pulpably wrong, or else to cniol myself in opposition to the democratic party. "I can see no reasonable hope of justice aud sympathy for the people of Kansas in the success ol the democracy. in its ranks, and with the power to control its action, are found tbe border lulinns ol Missouri and their accomplices of the South who have tramphd upon li e convitutiou and all the esecnti il principles ol our gov eminent, robbed Kansas of its civil liberty and riiiht of suUiui;e, laid waste its terri tory with 6ie nnd'siword, and repudiated' even the civilization itsell. Gov. Reedi r then passes in review the Cincinnati, platform the course of the dtm oeraiic puny in Congress as to Kmsas and the conduct of the curly, through its orators and presses, in the presidential canvass, io open and insulting hostility to the Iree state cause and then concludes as follows : "What, then, have the free stale men of KiuiS'is to expect from a democrat!? nditnn isiration, even if presided over by Mr. Eu chtiuan ? If he could be left to act upon his Ofth impulses, unaffected by externa influences and free from all pledges and obligations, express and implied, tho case would be very different, Hut untortunnte ly this is not so. His election would right fully be considered a 'decision against us, whatever may be Ins own private leelings. His o flices at Washington, in Kansas and elsewhere would necssarly, to a large extent, be filled wi h our enemies. Ilis information would come through a distorted medium. Aud lastly, he could not aid us without having first made up his mind to be abandoned and waned upon by his own parly. The South would charge lum wan the bitterest hostility, and at least a portion of the northern democracy woulJ fol low thiir i sample. He would thus be left without a parly to support his ad- imnisiiatiun, unless l.e should cast btmeell into ihe arms of t!.o republicans. We cannot, it seems to me, either ask or expect him to do this upon a question where puny hnts are so plainly drawn before liis election. Like al! other men in the same situation, he must obey the party sentiment on which Le is elected. That there are democrats in Pennsylvania who are full ol indignation against the conduct of tho South iu regard to Kansas, I am well aware, and that they would use thtir influences to redress her wrongs I am well sati.-lied ; but there are too lew in proportion to the whole party of the Union to sustain his administration in a war with his parly. They have ah yet been unable to make their opinions appear and be fell in tLe party, aed of course cannot do so herealter. I honor their good intentions but I cunnot believe in their power. "I re Deal that I have bien lorced lo these conclusions after no slight smuggle with r v fillings and inclinations, bhould Mr. Buchanan be elected, and his adminis' tration be different fiom what my judg ment compels me to believe, I shall give my cordml approbation, and my leeoie thoueh willintr support. As I believe now, I must regard the democratic party as ful ly committed to southern Sectionalism, towards which, fir some time pas, it has been rapidly lending, and I quit it, well assured that my duty to my country demands at my hands this sacrifice of personal feeling." Gov. Kecdcr is to speak in various places, mostly in Pennsylvania, between now and ihe diction, openly and bravely lor Col. Fremont, and cannot Tail to exetche a great inBuence, particularly in his own state, and with other influences must pret ly surely settle the vote thereof. Indeed, the stand he has taken is alike his confes. sion f the right, and hit judgement that Fremont's election is certain. Jty Thomas F. Marshall, one of the most eloquent men of ihe day (fmrnirly member of Congress from Kentucky, now of Chicago III.,) considers Mr. Fillmore's Erospects so gloomy that be cannot go for im. H his gont over to Fismont. From the Logiin-port Journal, Schuyler Colfax Mobbed ly the Old Liners. TWO HIE IV KILLED. From a reliable correspondent we have received an account of the riot at Bouiborn. Marshall Co , at the discussion, between Judge Stuart and Mr. Colfax. A wagon containing four men and a number of ladies cmne tiom Kosciusko Co., to attend the speulatig. In the wagon was borne n banner representing a buck on his last leg. Threats were made against the w.igon before it reached tbe ground, and during the speaking thirty Irishmen, who were employed upon tho railroad, prepared hickory clubs, and ns the wagon passed a grocery nt the opposite end of the town, it was attacked by these men who knocked diiwn the horsis, and commenced an indiscriminate assault upon all in the w.igon. The screnms of the women ns they begged lor their lives and the shouts and tuuruer ous blows of the attacking party were aw ful, and presented a scene which drove in terror the multitude, which was largely made up of women. Men endeavoring to save (heir own families, and there were no lime to assist ihe unforlunn'c wagon load which was soon ovirpowired by the infuriated brutes who forgot to discriminate be twi en women and men in Iht-ir mad attack. Whilst one ol the nnb stood with his club elevated with bu b Innds. ai d in the act of striking, he was sl.o', and (ell dead The persons in the wagon wi re seriously bruised und inured, and wire only saved from death by the attintion o( the mob be ing at liacUd to anotliir object. in the wagon was the vino ot a Mr. Lei- fel, a citizen of Kosciusko county, who, hearing of the danger ol his w ife, rode back to piottct her, On approaching the wag on he and his horse were knocked down mid finding the odds against him too strong he retreated to the house of the Itev. Mr. James whose family, with himself, hud been witnesses of tho terrible scene nt the wagon. Mr. LeffVl was pursued by the mob, who picked up axes as they went, broke in the door and window, and brutally murdered him in the presence of the terrified family. His body was horribly m mgled, his legs and head being nearly cut to pieces. Mr. Colfax had been to supper a third of a mile from the scene of these transnc tions and in a short time after, passed the grocery where were congregated the assailants of the wagon. They assauhed his horse with club and nearly knocked it down, and threatened the life of Mr. Colfax. He was able to keep his horse in mo lion and escaped. The mob clubbed a man riding a short distance behind him, and threatened the life of a Capt. S:erling. who had recently become a Republican, and also beat a young man named Samuel DUher. They took complete possession of the town, whilst tbe people at.xious ,or the safety of tho women lied in cwnfusion. Mr. Lellel was a promiuent member ol the M. E. Chu.'ch. He was a mild and in offensive man, and universally beloved. The Murder of Philips. Gov. Becder, in his speeeh at Syracuso, gave the following, and doubtless correct, account ol the murder ot this unlortunaie man in Kansas : Tho details of many unprovoked and horribltj murders might be nurrated he would content himself with a single one A Free State man started with his team lo go after provisions. He had taken no part in tbe politics of the territory, had not in any way rendered himself obnoxious to the border ruffians, and supposed, as he had a right to suppose, that he could come and go at pleasure. When he reached the camp of the outlaws he was first stopped and questioned ; then his pockets were searched, and, finally, he was told that he would be hung without delay, ihe rope as prepared 1 He plead with the ruffians; beL'ued at least, the privilege of leturning lo his ife and rl.iltiicn, I ut all was of no avail. Finally tho wretches consented to sp ire his life if I e would leave the tenito-ry forthwith. He accepted the alternaiive and started on his way. lie had not proceeded more than thirty feet when a Geor gian ruffian one of the gang remarked to his comrades mat "lie nngni as well shoot tho d d rascal." He did shoot, ami the shot took effect in the back of the innoeent man, but it did not kill him. The Fiivage pursued his inofh-nsive victim. Upi n his knee', with the blood streaming Irom his wound, that man begged the monster "for God's sake, and for the sake of his wife and children,,' to spare his life. What was the answer ? Do you think I am such a G d d u fool & to come nil thp wuv from Georgia to shoot for noth ing V and he deliberately drew a pistol, and shot cut the brains of his victim... That man whs William Phillips and a more inoffensive man or better ci izen never fell a martyr to freedom in Kansas I This was but nn insohttcd case. There were rcores more of similar instances. His au- tho i-y was unquestionable for the truth of this and kindred alrocieties. Tha Prospects in Pennsylvania A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat (Buchanan) wiilcs lo that paper from Philadelphia. There is more "game" than hope in his tone : Kansas and Missouri, (knowing, it stems to me, no difference between the border counties and St. Louis,) is all the conversation ; and if we cannot shvo Pennsylvania, by ke-eping Fillmore before tho people, we are gone ; for if he is dropped Fremont gets two-thirds of the vo'e. Tbe Quakers are. half erased attending meetings and saying that "verily Fremont is a proper nan." Never fear though, let the democrats carry the flag ; ws have nominal d Buohaaan sad we shall stand by him; and if he is beaten we have a higher duty to perform it is to save Ihe Union. I shall li en expect all good men lo be with ns, for all in Missouri, I hope, love tbe Union tatter than thn privilege of extending slavery in the territories, and be you ready then for I bars a great fear for the mttlf. INEQUALITY OF SLAVE E1PHE-. SENTATION. On tho 4th of August, Mr. Crngin, of JNcw Hampshire, delivered a speech in the House of Kepresciitntives, on the great issues of the day.rep'eto with historical and statistical infoimation, which should be in the hinds of every voter. While its mild nnd courteous tone will render it acceptable to political opponents, even to South erners, its clear and forcible statement of principles, and its fair deductions from in controvertible facts, cannot tail to carry conviction to every honest mind. The fol- lowing illustrations of the inequalities re suiting from the representation in Congress ot some thrco thousand millions of slave 'property," are peculiary striking: EXTRACT OF THE SPEECH OF MR. CRAQIM. The principle of nllowing parts of a nation political power in proportion to the number of men they hold in bondage, is so undemocratic and detnmenlal to liberty, that I nm surprised that any man outside the privileged States should be willing to extend it one inch beyond the States to which it now applies. By tho Constitution of the United States in the apportionment of Representatives to Congress, five slaves count as much ns three white men. Under this provision of the Constitution, from 1789 to 1792, the South gained 7 Bepresenlalivcs; from 1795 to 1813, she gained 14, 1813 lo 1823, she gained 19; from 182j to 1833, the gain was Irom 1833 to 18-13 the gain was 20. At this moment, tho South has 30 nddi- tioEitl members upon this flour on account of this pnncipie. The pn sent ratio of representation is 93,731. lue free btates have 144 Representatives on this floor, or, on nn average, one Kepreseiitnlive for 93,745 free white inhabitants, the slave States have 90 Itep-resentativts, or, on an average, one for 68,715 free white inhabitants. This is the way this principle works. In the next Presidential election, the free States will have 176 electoral votes, or, on an average, one electoral vote for 76 356 free while inhabitants. The slave States will have 120 electoral votes, or, on nn average, one electoral vole for 51,536 free white inhabitants. The South will have 20 electoral votes ns a premium forSlave-r7- if we (X imine particular btates, we shall find the contrast even more unequal than in the nggregate. For instance, South Carolina has a while population of 274,567, J and six Representatives, or one Represen tative to 45,7(31 free white inhabitants. She has eight electoral votes, or one for 34,321 white inhabitants. New Hamp shire Has a white population of 317,456, and three representatives, orone for 105,-818 inhabitants. She has five electoral votes, or one for 63.491 free white inhabitants. It will be observed, from these li'- urcs, that three white men in South Carolina have ns much influence in '.he votes upon this floor ns seven white men in New Hampshire. And tins, sir, is the "equality of the States," so much talked on the other side of the House. Perhaps, sir, ihe institution of Slavery is so eleviitiug in its effects upon human character, that three men in South Caroli na are equal to seven in New Hump-hire. I he country should consider the subject in this light, before they pass any ha.-ty judgment. ' It certainly has some very striking examples. The following slali-ticsof the third Congressional district in New Hampshire, represented by me, and tho district represented by Hon. Lawrence M.

We need not tell our Ohio renders that Jus. Myers is one of the most worthy and substantial citizens of our State nor that he has ever been a substantial pillar in (he cause of Democracy. Like thousands of other honest and "intelligent Democrats, Gov. Myers has concluded lo stand by his life-long Democratic principles rather thsn to wander after such swamp-lights as Douglas, Pierce and Atchison. Hence he supports that sterling young Democrat, John C. Fremont. On Tuesduy evening, Gov. Myers sndressed a large meeting of the freemen of Cincinnati, the Democracy of which city, at their last election gave Mr. Myers a majority of 3,0001 The gentleman's able speech is reported in full in tbe Cincinnati f cmmerciul.

You will believe me, my fellow citizensof Ohio, that I have no peisonnl grievances. 1 have iil-ways had the confidence and support of the Democratic party, and never more so than at the morai nt when I was diiven, by tho dictates of my judgment, confirming what my heart had already warned, to separate from those of my old political associates who still held on to what was the Demo cratic party. Hud the disastrous effects of the Buchanan policy been confined to this venr, or even to this Decade, I could have remained wi'h my party, for few things in life are harder than a separation like thai I spenk of. But the one nnd controlling policy forced upon the Democratic party, by the Slave propaganda operating through tho indispensable Southern wing of that parly, is essentially wicked, nnd therefore blights to day and forever. The cancer fixed in the system will cat until the life of the last member of tho body politic U destroyed, and the belief of man in tho possibility of a Republic dies within him. (Cheers,) Yes: it was because I saw no end to the curse engendered by the policy of Douglas, finally adopted und endorsed by the Democratic party in Nat onnl Convention assembled at Cincinnati, that I must now forever forfeit my self respect, nnd my obligations aa a citizen, or unite with the true Democracy of my country organized as Republicans, and work with them for the purification of tbe government by calling Fremont to its administration. The question of to-day, the question to which all others in American politics are subservient is, shall Slavery be National nnd Freedom sectional, or shall Freedom bo National and Slavery sectional ? Senator Fish for Fremont. Senator Fish, of New York, is out with a long and able letter, declaring himself for Fremont and Dayton. After sneaking o the Republican platform and the present contest he says: "In such a crisis, and under such cir cumstances my voico must be there. can, without difficulty, perceive my way clear to that point, and though still a Whig shall cast my vote lor l'remont nnd Day ton, esteeming such a course the best and surest nmedy for present evils." He treats the hullabaloo raised by the Fillmourners and Buchaneer terrorists in the tallowing pnragraph as it deserves "We are told that in caseol the election of Col. Fremont, the South will not and ought not to submit; that the Union will be dissolved. This U an unpatriotic nnd disloyal suggestion, deserving reprobation; contemptible as a threat, and, if uttered earnestly, evinces a want ol proper appreciation of the priceless value, and of the strength of the Union." Let tfce People Remember That NOT ONE has been even indicted for tho murder of a free state man in Kansas 1 That NOT ONE has been even afraign-eo much less punished for arson, horse stealing or RAPE against the free state set tlers, although they have been committed frequently and under the most outrageous circumstances.

A Major Harris, of Kentucky, a Slave driver, who is slumping it in Ohio for Buchanan, said in his speech at Piqua the othi r day, that "he thanked God that Democratic speakers could go into any State of the Union, nnd proclaim their sentiments, but tho Black R publicans could not go south of the Ohio River nnd proclaim theirs." That's so.

No Doubt of it. The Richmond Enquirer avers that Buchanan's desire to gel possession of Cuba is occasioned by his regard for slavery x-tecsi n. Hear it: "We indulge in no conjectural appreo- iation of Mr. Buchanan's sentiments and position in respect to the acquisition of Cuba. His famous despatch to Mr. R. M. S tunders, the American Minister at Madrid, not enly shows that ho made the honorable purchase of Cuba a leading objeot of the Polk Administration, but also proves that ho adopted the policy out of regard to the peculiar interests of the South."
