CANDIDATL , A--We Car,cititiod our :wide last week, sOMEMilarattrllp.l, though not without furnishing'matter tot tho.ur'ot and rellection. This °IIIIIXI of the Presi,lertei, , is eliciting much comment, and producing a gjetit amount of spe ctilwion, wherein wise in 11 anti- tbols are eliwida ling to the event of their several capacities, the chances t f the rivaleandidates, and talking as sage ly profoundly of the probability of certain per sons becoming candidates, as if the matter was not a complete lottery, wherein is generally esempli fie,l the saying that 4 ' the race is'not always to the spit, nor the battle to the string." • Among all these commentaries, there is no rea sari wily we may not say our Ray ; and in doing so, we propose to,write what we think, without re spect to persons. We'speak for no one—we com promise or commit nn one--4md if we have a blunt way of speaking the truth, there is no one responsi- ble for ri, except our humble Fen ;--and As.f, are merely endeatoring to sketch those "coming events" which " cast their Shadows before," with out intending to indicate any course 'which we may deem it our duty, regarding our com-istency and the exercise of our moss sacred rights, to pursue here'. after Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.' If We have our misgivings and our fears in re- gard to the action of the Democratic National Con vention, we have abundant reason from the history of the past, and all the indications of the future— There is indeed little to cheer in a retrospect of the. past, or in the,prognostications of the future. ‘Vhat the South was able to effect by trickery and 'rand in 184 f—what was perpetrated in 1848, with some little respect to appearances—will be opmfy, boldly and unblushingly enacted in 1852; amidst fits thun ders of denunciation, and the fulmination of decrees of ostracism and ['inscription. In the first instance, :N/ARTIN VAN !,'cans fell, because he would not be came a panderer to thelust of the Slaveocracy for new possessions—at the next Convention the South Mkt tow - n in ad , 011040 Itse prencipbs• whioll must govern the candidates, and made them subscribe to, those doctrines. What was the attitude of the 1 4 :puth in regard to the nominations, months before the ,Convention a. , sembled—and what their conduct and Janguage. in that Conventiuti—but gross Maul s to Ihe,North, and an outrage upon the feelings of the Yreeme % who compose the body of the great de mocratipnrty ? Was it not openly proclaimed, ~through the Press of the South, by the mouths of her &mittent men, and upon the Iloor of the Con.. vejnion,.that a candidate must be nominated pled2- .ed to the demande of the South, or they would not support him. They said virtually to Northern men, " We meet with you to nominate a candidate, who you are expected to support, but he must be pledg ,ed to veto the Wilmot Noviso v or we will not sup- port'him." And after nominatiiiidtandidate pledg :ed to their satisfaction, they deserted him far Garr Taylor, because they r would sooner trust a Slasehoi .der: How stands the Soutlr wow, in regard to a Nation al Convention! Are they prepared, in good faith, so meet the North upon the ancient platform of the Atmoerary, as laid down by Su:As WRIGHT, even when expounded to their liking Let us suppose a case, which will make the question more pointed and' forcible: - Suppose some Northern man should receive the riom . nation, who in 1819, wilt in Mr- Buchanan's position, and opposed the Extension of flavery—who in 1846, entertained the same views and approied of the , actioh of thirteen states, as expressed through their Legislatures, in 'endorsing the Wilmot Proriso--whet had• stood firm amidst the general redreancy, • tnnared iathtence, and unbrtbed by gam ;4, np.ight and consistent in his advocacy of views ho believed to be correct— supposi we sty (though it is hardly supposable) such a man should be nomi nated by the National Cotiventiod; could he receive a decpt support in the South—even though he was wilWto`See the Compromise measures carried out and respected ! Ile could not receive an elect. oral vote south el Mason and Dixon's line. The S mdi are not secret in this. All concert of action— fraternizatiotewith such political heresy is now repudiated It is political heterodoxy,lo believe that slavery should not be extended, and political lep. rq:y to hare ever east a vote lor - the Wilmot Pin. • .v6o. We Would lake to see the waters stirred, nn it they became efficacious to healing ail such diselo•CA. We venture to say that the Sunlit will not act in a Crinvontion with any bat:the staunchest friends of slay try-ernragandi.in ir.uch venlom to resent •theinsrives at the Cottrention the; mil be told, - 'there's nonse knoelittiitr• the' door: 0- ~Alt& - we venture also the assertion that the action.ol that Con vention will not.weigh as a-leather in the balance against the interestsof the South. They will see that a candidate is not; nominaterf unaceeptable:to them.; and they will be iestly Ici.east their suffra ges for the eindirlate. in wtk l ki they place the melt confidence. „That some 01 tfut Southern States will not be represented in the National Convention, ie clearly determined, but will hold .themselves, readiness to accept the man most h iendly to their in- terests There will undoubtedly, be an excellent opportunity for quite a number of General Com manders in the next Demoeratie Convention. • The question:then ,pre-sents itself, Itior fat will Freernett in the North be battik! by the action of that roticelition ?' Are wt to be pioscribetl—to be told that wet.ere not worthy to associate with out z‘ , unttierii lite:His—not fit to sit in Convention with therni—and then to he expected to come up to the suppnrt of the candela e they present ? Is there any binding to ce :n a compact when one party is de nounced and shut out Irom all:participation, and de barred trona ell the rights and p:ivileges which shoal(' appertain to him ? In onr view, the obliga tion is mutual : when a party is excluded, he should not-be asked to re ity anti sanction the action of the other. II these are not consideration* which v ill influence the Freemen of the North, in the nest canvass, our estimate of their intelligence and in dependence is too high. In the nomination of a candidate to be supported by the Democracy of the Union, vie take high and broad grounds. We ask the Se,oth to m a ke no eon. cessions ; we expect to mate none. Let our ban net float in the breeze, Nearing inscribed upon it, the principles of Deltrocracy, elucidated by the apos tle Of eer faith, Tts JEFFERSON. We care not whether the 81 ".ndard-bearer, be from the North or the South, ica. we have no personal preferences, but inspired',ythe ancient spirit, and cheered by the ancient bat le-cry, we are ready to do battle for the Fu' .cess of our cherished principles. Any narrow or sectional course, on the contrary, is sure to be fraught with defeat and disaster. For a sale issue out of all our difficulties, let us watch and pray ! —The Democracy are not troubled with a lack of candidates. ft is astonishing how marl men there aie now-a days, fit to occupythe White House, and look alter Uncle Sam's allair'. Almost every man 'who has been-to the Legislature, or had his breeches mended at the expense of the State, be. comes goalified to fill the eleva•eil position onee adorned by Washington. Perhaps it is a feature of our free institutions—and a signal mark of the in telligence arid capacity.of our people—and perhaps, an evidence of the modesty of our politicians ! Fist on the list, by virtue of having , once been beaten, is Gen Cass. Amidst the " noiseand con fusion" raised by the other candidates, the Gen. has been lost sight of. He has lost the confidence of the South, in attempting to " dodge" himself into favor in the North. He will 4 probabty receive a few votes in the West to let him down easily, and then be deserted for DOUGLAS*, who isn't the worst man in the world, even if he did marry a wife with three hundred niggers. We are not sure bet the "little giant,", is to be the man—and as a self-made and abut man he illustrates the crowning glory of our free institutions most completely—having risen by the force of his own industry and talents to his present proud position. It is not to be expected that a man with-such an interest in the It peculiar insti• 'lotion" would be anything but bound upon " the question," but it such a man must be President, Judge Doueuss-has our best wishes. - Again the " State pride" of Pennsylvania is ap pealed to in the proposed elevatiion of her " favor ite son." We have an old and ur.settled account with Mr. BUCHANAN, wherein we are greatly his delver, to any thing but kindness and good-will I Still, there are reasons why we ought to prefer him to almost any of the candidates named. We re member, with admiration, the noble position he as sumed, in 1819-20, against the extension of Sla very, when Missciuri presented herself for admission into the Union. If ue understand his views now, he admi's the right of Congress to legislate upon the - subjec'. He is in fact free-soil north of 36 6 30' North latitude. If he would not let degrees of latitude circumscribe his principles, and give them full scope, we don't know but we would overlook the past, and give in our adhesion. Mr. BUCHANAN'S friends are urling his nomination with great zeal ; ant) we believe he is favorably considered at the South. We have no doubt, could he cornmaud the united and enthusiastic support of Pennsylvania, he would be nominated. While we believe he will receive , the delegates from Pennsylvania, they will carry with them no moral strength, hom the fact that it is improbable that he would receive its elec toral vote, and consequently the :Monet Conven tion, however favorably they may be inclined, will be unwilling to nominate him. qe say be cannot carry Pennsylvania nt the polls, because Mr. Bu chanan has never been a strong man with the people, and there is such a bitter and fierce opposition to him in 'his State, that its etlects must inevitably be li.lt at an election, no matter how strenuous exer tions may be made to counteract it. This fact is capahli of Illustration ) but we have no time to pur sue it. The list• is by no means complete :--there is Sam Houston, Gov. Marcy, Gen. Lane, Henry Dodge, Robert J. Walker, (lately nominated by Kossuth, in London ; ) Gen. Wool, and a hest of smaller fry, for whose mines even we have not space; and last, though not least, some one proposes the following excellent ticket: Foa Fasamarr—Oes. W. 0. BUTLER. of tratacky. Foa Vita Pampa:fa—WU. BUM ER, a Promo 'vitas-, Nci ticket could be placed in nomination more to oar liking than this. It would carry Pennsylvania with a rush, andencure for us New York and Ohio. The only draw-back is, that we cannot spare 'BILL %cum from the Executive chair of Pennsylvania. But for the sake of elevating BUTLER the statesman and the poet, the soldier and the patriot, to the Pre sideney—and to give the Susquehanna Raftrinan a hoist higher, which he so well deserves, we would spare (tun.

When within a few mites of the mouth of the ri ver one.of the party, a Mr. Heddon, recognized the river, to be the Coquille, which he had railed in going from - Port Oxford to Oregon, in Kirkpatrick's company, and that the Indians, who had become ve ry numerous, were then hostile, and it would be ne cessary for us to be on our guard. We were now in sight of the place where we intended to leave * the canoes,- at the same time passaing several Indian lodges on the bank, where vast numbers of the na ked Indians were promenading the banks. One of our party insisted most strenuously on our landing on the nor hem bank, at the largest Indian lodge we had seen, and there get our breakfast. To this, Mr. Brush and myself remonstm'ed. We ,however, drew ro near the bank that the Indians could reach the side of the canoe with their hands, while in their canoes tying along the shore, They immediately. grabbed our canoe, mid refused to let us posh oft— On tine occasion we succeeded in pushing off some six or eight feet, b , gt they jumped in tad pulled our canoe to the shore, and commenced boarding us, and seized hold of our arms. We made one in stantaneous rush for the shore. I think Mr. Brush fired a pistol. the only one r recollect of hearing. In less than fifteen seconds we were completely disarmed; as there were ten Indians to one white man standing around. In drawing my six-shooter I was knocked down. The first thing I remember, I was some fifteen yards in the river, in swimming water. I looked around and saw -upon the shore the most awful state of confusion—it appeared to be the screams of thousands—the sound of blows, the groans and shrieks of the dying—at the same time I noticed my friend Brush, not far distant from me, in the water, and an Indian standing in a canoe striking him on the head with a paddle, causing the water to b. come bloody around him. My atten tion was then directed to a small canoe, with an Indian lad in it, but a short distance from me, I swam to it ; he helped me in it, and put a paddle in my hand, pointed to the Southern bank, and imme diately ran to the other end of the canoe. On took mg around, I saw him helping Brush to get into the canoe, and immediately jumped ore, board. We then paddled for the Southern bank of the river.— Upon landing we succeeded in getting to shore, then stripped ourselves of our clothing, and crawl ing on our bellies up the bank succeeded in escap ing to the thicket. We then continued in our nak ed condition travelling south, through the worst of himnsocks and briary chappareLs during the day ; at night we approached the beach, travened all night, 'and abobt day light on Monday morning reached Cape Blanco. Ott Monday we weretaken by the Indians living near Cape Blanco, treated with a great deal of kindness, kept all night on Monday night with every accomodation they were able to afford, and on Tuesday brought into Port Oxford, in the situation that you saw us in. Mr. Brush and' myself are all of a parry of ten that re mein to tell the melancholy fate of our companions —W.

It will be remembered that Mr. Toombs was one of the most ferocious fire eaters during the session of 1819-50., In UM, he formed a coalition with Cobb, then Speaker of the house, and recently erected Governor of Georgia, which contemplated the arrangement which' has just been consummated. On the evening of his election as Senator, he made a speech, in which he announced that the " constitutional Union party" will adhere to its present isolated, independent or ganization and name ; that it will not send delegates to, or be represented in, either the national, whig or democratic edinventions next year; that it would wait until those conventions have assembled and set forth their principles and candidates before the country, prior to detetmining on either side ; that, as an indispeosible condition for their support, the national convention, whether)svhig or democratic, which it coalesces with, must adept the compromise platform; and that—this condition complied with —the "constitutional Union party" will be free to unite with either the national whig, or national de mocratic party. This looks evidently to the nomination of a south ern independent candidate, in view of which it may be well for the ronhern states to be looking around for a candidate, who will be sore to carry the whole north. That done, we will be content with the can didate which has the most votes.—Berning Post. 1r6i6'404i "Cabers'. • Extract fron! a Journal kept by aSeaman who Artie Expedition VlB5O-51. Breese, June 30, 1850.—Moored to an iceberg; weather calm # sky cloudless and " beautifully blue " surrounded by vast number of stupendous bergs, glittering andiglistening beneath the' refulgent MI of a mid:day ann. :A great purtiotkof the crew had gone oe *hare to gather the eggs of the wild sea-birds the! frequent the lonely icebound precipices in iiamn's Bay. while those on hoard had retired to rest,. wearied with the harritssiog &dig of the preceding day. To me, walking the -deck and alone, all Nature seemed hushed in unisiersal repose. While thus contemplating the stillbess of the monotonous scene around me, I observed in the tang a large iceberg, completely Terfoiated, exhibiting in the distance an arch, tir iannel, apparently so uniform in its corn for mation that I was indncedto call two of the seamen tolook at it, At the same time telling them that I had never read or heard of any of our attic voyagers passing through one of those arches so frequently seen through large bergs, and that there would be a novelty in doipg so, and if they chose to accom pany me I would get permission to take the dingy (a small boat) and endeavored to accomplish the unprecedented feat. They readily agraed, and away we went. •theast lap. the ogee . ptenx ,y loat. of allow advt.- 're. ob i us to On entering the arch, and ascertaining that there was a sufficiency of water- for . the boat to pass through, we rowed slowly and silently under, when there burst upon our - view one of the most magnift, cent specimens of nature's hand work ever exhibit ed .to atonal eyes; the sublimity and grandeur of which no language can describe, no imagination conceive. Fancy an immense arch of eighty feet span, fifty feet high, and upwards of one hundred feet in breadth, as coma in its conformation as if it had been constructed by the most scientific artist, form ed of solid ice. of a beautiful emerald green, its whole expanse of surface smoother than the most polished alabaster, and you may form some slight conception of the architectural beauties of this icy, temple, the wonderful workmanship of time and the elements. When we had got about half way through the mighty structure, on looking upward I observed that the berg was rent the whole breadth of the arch, and in a perpendicular direction to its summit showing two vertical sections of irregular surfaces darkly, deeply beautifully blue," here and there illuminated by an arctic sun, which darted its golden rays between, presenting to the eye a picture of ethereal grandeur which no poet could describe, no paintei portray. I was so gnraptured with the sight that for a moment I fancied the " blue vault of heaven" had (Tenet'. and that I actually gazed on the celestial splendor of a world beyond this. But, alas ! in an instant the scene changed, and I awoke as it were from a delightful dream to experi ence all the horrors of a terrible reality. I observ? eil the fracture rapidly , cl..se. then again slowly, open. This stupendous mass of ice, millions of tons in weight, was afloat, consequently in motion, and apparently about to lose its equilibrium, capiise, or burst into fragments. Ourisinn was truly awful my feelings at the moment may' be conceived ; can not be described. I looked downwards and wound me; the sight was equally appalling; the very sea seemed agitated. lAt last shut my eyes from a scene so terrible ; the men at the oars, as if by in stinct, 4 gave way," and our little craft swiftly glided from beneath the gigantic mass.. We then rowed round the berg, keeping at a re spectful distance front it, to order to judge of its magnitude, I supposed it to be about a mile in cir cumference, and its highest pinnacle 250 feet. Thus ended an excursion,the bare recollection of which at this moment awakes in me a shudder; nevertheless, I would not have lost the opportunity of beholainn , a scene so awfully sublime, so Tragi cally grand , '' for any money, but I would not again run such a risk for the world. We passed through the berg about two, P. M., and at ten o'clock the some night it bunt, agitating the sea for miles around. I may also observe that the two men who were with me in the boat did not observe that the berg: was rent until I told them, after We were out of dan ger ; we having agreed, previously to entering the arch, - not to speak a word to each other, lest echo itself should - disturb the fragile mass.

THE UTAH DIFFICULTIES. -One of the judicial officers who recently left the Great Salt Lake City gives me some account of the occurrences which caused the government officers to leave that cows try. He says the officers sent there were not only created with coldness and disrespect, bat that the government ofihe United States on all occasions, festive or religious, was denounced in lhemost dis respectful terms. .Of Gen. Taylor he said-- '•Zachary Taylor is dead and gone to hell, and I am glad of it r' and his sentiments were echoed by a I.md amen from all parts of the assembly. Then, rising, in theexcess of bisipassion Ito bis tip-toes - ,he vociferated,"l prophesy in the name ofJesusChruit. by the power of the priesthood that is upon me, thst any other President of the United States who shah lift his Sager against this people will divan un. timely denth and go to hell!" This kind of feeling I found pervading the whole community—in some individuals more marked than in others." The writer adds, that being deputed to get a block of marble from the people of Utah for the Wnehing- , ton Monument, he addressed a meeting. "Att he close of my speech, the governor arose, and denounced me and the government in the most brutal and unmeasured terms, 'The ferment created by his remarks was truly fearful, It seemed as if the people (I mean a large portion of them) were ready to spring upon me like hyenas, and destroy me. The governor, while speaking, said that some persona might iget their hair pulled or their throats cut on that occasion. His manner was boisterous, passionate, infuriat. 4 in the extreme ; and if it had not been afraid •of fi nal vengeance he would have pointed his finger at me and I should in an instant, have been a dead man. Ever since then the community has N e in a state of excitement and murmurs of personal violence and assassination towards rue have been freely altered by the lower orders of the populace. How it will end I don't know. I have just learned that i have denounced wgethertwith the govern ment and otßsera in the_ Bowery again to-day by Governor Young. I hope I shall get off sat', ly— God only knows. lam in the power of desperate and muiderns set. I, however feel no great fear. So much for defending my country." New tourreatrerr.—Bicknelrs Reporter gives the following description of a new and dangerous coun terfeit, which has just made its appearance in Phi ladelphia ; Lancaster Bank, Lancaster, Pa. t's re-tiotte relief The general appearance of these notes is capitalty calculated to deceive the unwary, though the paper is somewhat different from that on which the gene. ine are printed—the platter being white_and clear, and the former tinged with pink . The engraving as a whole, is quite defective. The figure in the vig,nettp has but three fingers on the left hand. So also the female at the left part of-the note, who has an arm around an anchor—her right hand is minus a finger. Above this figure is a female whose right arm rests upon the top of the anchor; in the gene. ine her neck is bare. whilst in the bail note the r e seems to be two or three strings of beaibi around it, her right arm is very badly engraved and is indis tinct ; in the genuine it isperlectly formed and quite as distinct as any other part of the engraving. The names of, the engravers, Toppan, Carpenter, Qui. Lear & Co., poorly done.
