Although there is now nothing like the excitement of a Presidential cam-ass, there is a strong determinaf tioit to eiect Wilmot; for, besides the warm personal friendship felt for him, those' who look deeply into the,opetutions of politics are aware that his election would. be scarcely less important in its ultimite ef fects on national affairs, than the election of - a Re publican preside.m.

It'answers -as we'l for the latitude of Pennulrtnia: far Since a statement is circulating among the Snam Democracy of Luzerne ttounkr—where E. B. Cha'se now listes—that Judge Wilmot discontinued his suits for libel against Chase, it may be proper to recall the fact that Chase made a full and general re- Inaction of the charges he had made against Judge .Wilmot,-- 7 eating his words so entirely as greatly to displease his Bunker readers in this County.—and a retraction of the, slandirs was all that the Judge car ed about.- Most of the falsehoods againstthe /ridge now in circulation among the Sham Democratic and bortis .A.metican organs, had been p i rericrusly coined and circulated by Chase in the Democrat. And here is his retraction, which appeared in the Montrose N.Dcmocrai.of April 17th, 1856, only a short time be fore Chase left that paper: . " lar Judge "Wilmot feeling that his official =- duct and integrity has been assailed 'by publications in our paper, we desire to say, in justice to him, to the public, and to ourself; that we did sot intend to he integrity of Judge Wilmot as a aunt, Large upon Idi,n corruption,, partiality, or biol . in the diserlarge of higtresponaible pub - t. lie hare seen nothing, nor do lee know" ring; is the conduct of Judge Wilmot, to such a charpc. publications complained of were ha .cti/y and inconsiderately 'written, andwe regreranything there in contained rvierting upon the official integrity and conduct of Judge 'Wilmot." • W e ' Buchanan and other pro-Slavery extremists and fanatics now claim that SlaVery exists in all the Territories under and by .force of the Constitution.— tut they admit, at preseut, that the States can ex clude Savery, by loc4 law. A moraines cpesident tion must convince any one that this admitted right of the States is inconsistent with the.claita set up for Slavery t for the Constitution is &bore all.

Why it is that in all financial difficulties the Philadelphia - Banks take the lead in defrauding the community, is a question that needs investigation. It was report ed last evening that the outside pressure had induced Governor Pollock to call an extra session of the Leg islature for October 6th. We regret exceedingly that 'the Governor should have listened for a moment to the noisy clamors of disappointed speculators and broken hanks. By an act of 18.50, 'every Bank that fails to redeem its bills in gold or silver, on demand, forfeits its char ter, and most justly too. If the Banks have failed to meet their lisbilitics , let them be' treated like in dividtuda, take their Property and apply it to the payment of , their debts as far as it will go, and wind them up, and let other:and safer Institutions take their place. In New York and most of the northern States where a Bank fails to:' meet its liabilities, its assets are handed over to the proper -officer. and it goes into liquidation at once; and, whatever may be the conduct of the Bank, tbo bill-holders are safe; and to-day, a bill on a"broken couptry Bank of New York is worth more h the market than alike bill on a-Philadelphia or Baltimore flank. .When the Legislature assembles, we have no doubt there will be a tremendous effort by the Banks to ob tain some kind of special exemption to aid them in the fraud they are now, apparently attempting to per petrate upon the people pf the State. Let the' Leg- . !stature but stand firm in this cri.sis and the result will be a lasting blessing to the whale country.

As to the issue—after alt, it is 41'1\46°11st one. This fact mvests the struggle with its real importance. What is the issue'? The Peet-Went himself shall . define it. In his letter to Professor Silliman, referring to the pasSago'of the Kansas-Nebraska act, liesays "Slavery existed at that period, and still exists., in Kqiisas, under the Constitution of the United Mates. This point has been at last finally settled 'by the highest tribune/ known to our laws. flow it could ever have been:, seriously doubted,, is a mystery. If a confederation of sovereign.

But when the. people—the bona fide rcsidents of such Ter. rituryproceed to frame a State Constitu: don, then it, is their right to decide the im portant iptestioa.for themselves, whether they will continue, modify, or abolish Slavery:-- To them, and fo them alone ' does this ques tion belong, free front all foreign 'interfe rence." . 1 .„ Such sentintents were not broached by James 'Buchanan during the Presidential cm vacs. ()pinions precisely the reverse were maintained by ; his Northern and Western supporters. it ,was held by them generally that Slavery did not. exist in Kansas, and could' not exist ;there, or in any Territory of the United States, except by. positi They insisted that the. People of si,Territory, through their Territorial Legigissurc,•catht prohibit Slavery, and that this doctrine was the true foundation of Freediim in. the Terri tories: And not a line could be' drawn from Mr.• Buchanan, indicating a contrary opinion: No+iv, he tells us:,:thst• it is a mystery to him how the cothrary opinion could ever have heed doubted. Now , we learn from his let ter, that be always believed that'Slavery ex -1.; 41 ;;*, ettstver force of the 'Constitution, which recognises slaves as property, just as it recognizes . any whet property--±a dogma originating in the extreme Southern School. New, we learn that Mr. Buehaaan holds that the only Power able to prohibit Slavery in a Territory is the PeOple, at the time they conic to form a State Constitution, and not before! We ask any candid. Democrat in Ohio, had Mr..Buchatian proclaimed . these views before the eleetion„Could he have been deo: ed ? Nay—luidhe,been known to entertain such doctrinet„ Would be have' received the nomination at Cincinnati ? You supposed you were securing a Popular-Sovereignty candidate . , and hi! you helped to elect a Cal: boun .propagandist.

For how could they decide what was notlegitimately before them r People of Ohio, you are then called upon to decide upon a great National issue. If you vote for Mr. Chase, you say that Slavery, can exist only by positive law—that the Con stitution of the United States does not recog nize slaves as property, and carry Slavery into all Terriiory Of the Union—and that the Legislature of a Territory, while it is a Ter ritory, may positively interdict its existence therein. If you vote for his opponent; you vote for, the doctrines and policy of the Cal houn Slavery Prepagandists, and do what yon can to ally Ohio to the cause of Negro Slavery. This - is not alt.', The Kansas Question is still undecided : to a great extent, it can be affected by your votes. - In violation of the rights of the bona ; fide residents of Kansas, a spurious Legislature was imposed upon them. Mr. Buchanan rec ti gnizes it, and sustains its acts. In pursuace, of one of them, a Conven tion has met to form a State Constitution.— Tbs Pro Slavery party is supreme, and the result will be a slaveholding Constitution, adverse to the views of a great majority of the real voters, Ishii, however, will be.denied the right to vote upon it. . g Constitution will be submitted Ito :the new Congress, in which there will ben small majority of the supporters of Mr. IBuchanan.

Th Demo cratic Republican icy 'is hostile to both, a nd never oeux;V combat-both so long as they exist.' _ . The influence of Slqery has been •injuri oils to the country evei since it began. From the time when it gtipAsted for the .continu ance of the alave.trade, twenty years, down to the time *when it offeratwo hundred mil- lions for the : purchase Of Cuba,' it tits been the great disturbing..olement in our politiaal systeM. It has everbeian grasping,--eneroseh ing, arrogant and domineering. It has spread in extent and increased in power. It has-ati proprisied to itself the greater part of the offices of the Government; dictated its poli cy, foreign and dorriestie, aid so debSied the public sentiment that multitude.. . '-now pro; claim Slavery a good, and its extension a proper. aim of govern' ment. Since the last Convention of the'RePublieuss of New York, two egressions . have been made by the slave holders which are unexampled hi our history; the decision of the: Supreme Court of the 1<) al tea States in the case of Dred Scott, and the letter of the President to the clergymen who addressed him on the affairs of Kansas. The decision in Dred Scott's care 'followed natur• all; upon the Presidential electicsifi. Indeed, it to hardly too much to say, that but fur the untoward result of the election, that decision which was withheld .until the election was passed, would never have been given. If we had elected Fremont andmnaugurated a new Administration devoted to freedom, as this and its immediate predecessor have been de voted to Slavery, the impnlse in favor of free principles would have been so strong as to deter the expression' or a judicial opinion so abhorrent to all that - the free North holds most sacred, so alien to the principles we have received from our forefathers. But in an evil hour ( Pennsylvindwfaltered, and that day was hist.. Let those who contributed to this result seit:in this decision one of the con, sequences of their acts;.consequence almost certain -to be fellowed.by•others of like char iactCr, if the efforti of the Democratic Repub. licans do not avert them. The next step will probably be a decisi o n from the same Court, in the Lemon slave case, asserting the right of a slaveholder to bring his slaves into this Stattv and hold:the:O. here temporarily. itt bondage.. Of coarse, no Court of the-State of New-York can hold such a - doctrine, but the Supreme Court of the United States, as at present constituted, will hold it ; and hold , ing it, precipitate, that con fl ict which is evi, dently:approaching, - between the Free and the" Slave elements in our social and political sys: tem. . 3. 3. 8 ' The President's letter asserts the most slavish doctrine which hav yet been put forth by the National Executive. It announces "the existence of Slavery in' every Territory acquired by. the Union on the ground thatit iS recognized ,by the. Federal Constitution.— Slavery, however, is not recognized 'by that instrument to exist • anywhere, and if its ,istence in a part Of thetnion were recognized it would not'then follow that what. the Free States helped to acquire must necesarily re ceive an institution which they abhor.. The Constitution undoubtedly rev gnizes the.pos bible Ot prol.l.4o,64,9tcnccN ? f Latta ha Mlle or the StateNunder which there maybe "'a per son held to service or , labor," but such a per, ion need not be a slave. An apprentice person held to service or labor. If an ap prentice-escape from New-Jersey into' New= York, ho may be reclaimed ; bUt if his roas ter bring him, be cannot employ. him here, contrary to the laws of our omn State. So, if an apprentice escape across the borders of 1 31 Issoun 11110 - Katilas; he may be sea back; but, if the master take him,. be submits him- self to the laws of Kansas, or of Congress which govern Kansas. It it, hohxd; be true that apprentices may be taken, by their mas ters into States unwilling to receive them, then free black apprentices may be taken -.by . New England merchants to South Caro lina, the laws of that State against the intro ductiim of fries negroea to, the contrary not. withstanding. ,Another step in the path of aggression; is likely to he the reopening of the slave trade. We do not see on what pr:iiciple it can be reflised, if the late doctrines of the President and the Snprerne Court be true deductions from the Constitution. We have warned the country against this awful 'and logical conse quence. Already we see indications more and more distinct of preparations fir such an event, and we shall be very fortunate if the four years of. Mr. Buchanan's Administration expire without the accomplishment of what ten years ago would have seemed asimprob. able, but not more improbable than the re , peel of. the MissoUri 'Compromise. When the road of Slave extension is once began to be,tniveled, and the slave owners have once tasted the pleasures of success over the free laborers of other-parts of the country, it is_ not:marvelous that moderation is forgotten. In the clamor for office and the subserviency to obtain it, the voice of warning is unheeded and morality is silenced. Fellow-citizens, are you prepared to admit that this is a slave Republic? and that what ever territory it acquires becomes instantly slave soil ? If that be the true interpretation of the Constitution, then wherever the flag of this country goes, it carries Slavery with st into. whatever new regions it is borne, it bea chains and manacles in its folds. Fro a doctrine so abhorrent to our sentiments, .so , treasonable to our history and traditions,,; there is no hope of rescue, but. in the united I mass of Democratic Republicans. It is darkest just. before , dawn. This is the darkest hour of the night. Never before has I a doctrine been proclaimed, which not only I no European nation, but no , nation of Christ endom, save only Brazil and our own, would now maintain. The divace has fallen upon us through our supineness and our divisions. I Let us be supine no longer, and let us lay aside all minor divisions,that we may redeem our country, the country of our freedom-lov ing forefathers, from that curse, greater than Slavery—that of loving, praising,and extend ing_ic. The condition of Kansas demands your most attentive contderation. You see there the fruits of that policy of which the present National Administration is the defender and promoter—a country opened to Slavery that Slavery might be sure to enter ; a Legislature chosen b,y,slaveholders, who did not live on the soil ; and making- laws which no freeman could bear; this Legislature and these laws upheld by the President and Congress; and the President now enforcing theni, beeantie he says he has- no dispensing power.

"You can tell me 'nettling," said he; " of the sensitiveness of Southern gentlemen oil that subject. - But," he added, " I do not hesitate to Rive them my views in full." -Al luding to an interview with one of them, who justified the assault, he paused--stopped.- 1 - u"'e were walking in the street)—and turning full towards inc, he said - , with emphasis,.

But I tell you that all the scenes in Kansas will not so much disgrace us among the Gover nments and, people of Europe as this assault in -the Senate Chamber .of the United Stater.
