We have received a copy of the letter of Ex- President Van Buren, in answer to a eomnionica tion from the N. Yeak city delegation to the Bal timore Convention. To the proper understand ing of the answer, it is only necessary to copy from the letter addressed to him the following passages : "The great Jeffersonian doctrine now boldly repudiated at the South, and by too many tamely surrendered at the North. tthat slavery or involuntary servitude should Inot, by any action of the Federal Govern ment, be extended to the free territories of this Union, deserves, in connexion with other and time-honored doctrines of the Democratic party, to be represented by a ! standard bearer of the highest encomium 1 for ability and worth, and such a one, you will permit us to say, we shall present in you, should we be authorized to name you as a candidate for the consideration of the convention." The letter of Mr. Van Buren covers two and a half closely primed columns tithe New York Com mercial Advertiser. The Ord column of his let ter M a review of the proceedings of the National Democratic& Convention, with regard to the Now York Delegates, coming to the conclusion that the Barnbumen were excluded on account of their anti-slavery views. Ho closes this section of his argument as follows : "1 cannot, under such circumstances, re frain from concurring with you in the opin ion that the decisions of that convention are in no degree binding upon the demo cracy of this State, or entitled to any oth er weight in their estimation than as an ex pression of the wishes and opinons of re spectable portions of their political associ ates and friends in other States, qualified, as their expression is, by theses by which it has been accompanied." ' That portion of his levier in regard to slavery will be read with general interne, and we thereßne, give it entire : You deslre my views in regard to the prohibition by Congress, of slavery in ter ritories 'Where it' ,does not now exist, and they shall be giv en in a few words, and in a winner 'which Will not, I hope, increase, if it does not diminish, the existing excite ment in the public mind. The illustrious launders of our govern ment were not insensible to the apparent inconsistency between the perpetuation of 'idainry in the United Stites, and the prin. oielee of the ,reverution, , as delineated. in the, ilechttlitirtn of ifidependeace i and they were m w a wept** In their , dispositions to a ttempt to conceal itillueleifous by whch they were Ornberrasset4 Put they kite* alio that its speedy td)olidott ip sev eral of the States was impossible, •14id; its; ettleteace,-in a :withouilatilt . on e part of the present ,generatiqe.r., zt, ey were also too upright and , the fester . be)igg which badearrted th etn Oro* the struggle for" ' , indePeridence , were , too 1 strong to permit them to deal with such a, mtiltet ,dpou ,any, ether„ Principle; than those of and justice.

On all sides the most oxpeditiouemeans to carry on this pollei were adopted with alacrity and good' feeling, Their first act Was to interthet thetutreductioisef Slavery GETTYSBURG, PA. FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1848; into the North-west. l territory, now cbver 'ed by the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin.. This may justly be regarded as being, in the main, a 'Southern measure. The subject was first brought fortiard in Congress by Mr. Jeffer son. Virginia made the cession of territory upon which the ordinance was intended to operate, and the representatives from all the slave-holding States gave it a unan imous support. Doubts have arisen in the minds of some whether the ordinance of 1787 was authorized by the articles of the confederation. A bill was introduced in the new Congress at its first session un der the constitution, reilognizing and adapt lag itfto the new organization, and it has ever since been considered as a valid act. This bill received the constitutional eppro ' bation of President Washington, whose highest and sworn duty it was to support the constitution under which it was enact ed. Nor was the North backward in do ing its part to sustain the policy which had been wisely adopted. They assent ed to the insertion of provisions in the con stiution necessary and eufficient to protect that interest in the States, and they did more. The trouble apprehended at the com mencement of the government from this swum, beganio show itself as early as the year 1790, in the form of petitions present ed to Congress upon the subject of slavery and the slave-trade by the Quakers of Phil adelphia and New York, and by Dr. Frank lin as President of a society for the promo tion of abolition. These petitions were, in the House of Representatives, referred to a committee of seven, all but one of who'm were northern members, whose re port, as amended in committee of the whole, affirmed "that Congress have no power to interfere in the emancipation of slaves, or in the treatment of their' within any of the States, it remaining with the' several States alone to provide any regu lation therein which humanity and true policy might require." The perseverance and good faith with which both braechea of policy thus adopt- , ed have, until very recently, been reertgai;.! fed and carried out, are highly honorable to the whole country. The peculiar ha bility of the subject to be converted into's') element of political agitation, is well in the slaveholding as in the nqu-slaveholding Statett; may !leveled to occasional attempts so to employ it, hut these efforts have been very successfully-frustrated by the good sense and good feeling of the people, in ev- ' ery quarter of the Union. A detailed ac count of the numerous acts of the Federal government, sustaining and carry into full effect the policy of its founders upon the subject of slavery in the States, and its ex tension to the territories, and the steps ta ken, in the non-slaveltokhog States, to sup- press or neutralize undue..agitation in re gard to it, would be alike instructive and honorable to the actors in them. Hut it will be readily perceived, that this could not be given within the necessary limits of a communication like the present. It must therefore suffice to say, that from 1787. the date of the ordinance for the prevention of slavery in the North western territory, down to and including 1838, at least eleven acts of Congress have been passed, organizing territories which have since become States, in all of which the constitutional power of Con gress to interdict the introduction of sla very into the territories of the United States, is either directly exercised or clear ly asserted by enactments, which, as mat ters of authority, are tantamount to its ex ercise.; and that at the only period when the peace of the slave-holding States was supposed to be seriously endangered by abolition agitation, there was a sponta neous uprising of the people of the North, of both parties, by which agitation was paralyzid and the South re-assured of our fidelity to the compromises of the Consti tution. In the laws for the organization of the territories which now constitute the States of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wis consin and lowa, slavery was expressly prohibited. The laws for the organization of the territories of Mississippi, Orleans, Arkansas, Alabama and Florida, contained enactments fully equivalent, in regard to the extent of the power in Congress over the subject of slavery in Ate territories, to the express exercise of it in the other ca ses. rheae acts were approved by Pres idents Washington, the elder Adams, Jef ferson, Madison,Monroe, Jackson and myself, all boun by our oaths of office to withhold our respective approvals from laws which we believed Unconstitutional. If in the passage of these laws during a period of half a century, and under the ad ministration of so many Presidents, there was any thing like sectional divisions, or a greater or less participation in their en actments on the part of the representatives of the slave-holding or of the.nen-slave holding Slates, I am nut apprized, of it. I believe the plan devised by the found era of the Government, including The fath ers of our political church, for the treat ment of this great subject, and which has hitherto been an faithfully sustained, and which has proved so successful in preserv ing the Union of these States, to be not only the wisest which the wit of man could have derbied, but the only one consistent with the safety and prosperity of the whole country, , , ~ ' I do therefore desire to see it continued - so lent as slavery utisprin thif,U. ettattiK , 'rho extent to which I have sustained it 1 the various Public stational have occupied,l is known• to the opuntry. I was at the time,Weli.aWittn tha) I went farther via this trotenot ASA gouv pr.Myheat Biende could approve.Mei' dimply pinitrated by the convictioo that slavery was the only subject that could endanger our blessioltinkin,ll was determined that no effort on my part, within the pale of thceestitution, should be wanting to sustain Its7elhproteisee as they were then understood, and it is now a source of consolation to we that I per med the course I adopted. The doctrine .which the late Baltimore convention has presented for the sanction Of the annex's. in substance, that the laws I ham referred to were so many violations of the constitution-4m this instrument oPTAILZWI AND TUE" confers no powering Congress to exclude slavery from the territories, as has often been done with the assent of all. This doctrine is set forth in the published opin ion of the highly respectable nominee of that convention. who it is well known re ceived that distinction because he avowed that opinion, and who, it is equally certain, would not have received it if he had not done so. It is'proppti e dtto give , this doc trine the most solemn Inaction kunwnto our political system, by the election of its de clared advocate and supportevaghe Presi dency. If it receive the proposed sanctieu of the people of the United States, the result cannot be doubtful: :The policy in. regard to the extension of slavery to the territories of the United States Auto which it has not yet been introduced ? which has -existed since the commencement of the govern ment, and the consetitiences of whlehlavii been so salutary, mest cease, and every act of Congress designed to carry it into effect be defeated by.llte veto of the Exec utive. The territories no,* owned by the Uni ted States, and eve r acquisition of terri: tory that may hereafter be made by she United States, whether obtained by an nexation. by cession /or a valuable eonsid-, erasion, or by conquist, must as long as this opinion is held:' and as far as the ac tion of the national Legislature is concern ed, be subject to theinroads of slavery.— An d this consequent*, is to bo submitted to on the assumption that the framers of the constitution, with their attention directed to the subject, and with a well understood desire to do so, have failed to clothe Con gress with the necessary powers to pre vent it. I cannot with my vote contri bute to this sanction. I cannot do so, be cause I cannot concur in the opiulon which we are called upon to sustain. Entertaining thew' views of the consti tution, I could nut by my vote contribute to the proposed sanction of this new prin. ciple in the administration of the Federal Government, without, at the same time, avowing myself to be in favor of the ex tension of plavery in the abstract. and this I can net* do. Those who agree with me in regard to the existence of the-pow er and the expediency of our exercising it, and can still bring their minds to dissent from this conclusion, most have more light upon the subject. or Pave greater power of discriminating. than _possess. Ido there fore unhesitatingly approve of the course you propose to pursue, in withholding your votes from Governor Cass, and shall do so myself. If no other candidates than those now before the country are presented, I shall not vote for President. I'he man ner in which our politicical brethren in other non-slaveholding States shall dispose of their suffrages, is fir them to determine, and with it we luirtliothing to do. But that they accord with us in the opinion as to the existence of the power in question, and the expediency of exercising it when ever the occasion for so doing arrives, we have the best reason to know. The power, the existence of which is, at this late day, denied, is, in my opinion, fully granted to Congress by the constito lion. Its language, the circumstances tin ' der which it was adopted, the recorded ex planations which accompanied its forma: Lion--the construction it has received from outhighest judicial tribunals, and the very solemn and repeated confirmation it has derived from the measures of the govern ment—leave not a shadow of doubt in my' mind in regard to the authority of Congress ' to exercise the power in question. This is not a new opinion on my. part, nor the first occasion on which it has been avow-. ed. While • the candidate of my friends for the Presidency, I distinctly announced my opinion in favor of the power of Con gress to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia,' although I was, for reasons which were then and are still satisfactory to my mind, very decidedly opposed to its' exercise there. The question of power is certainly as clear in respect to the territo ries as it is in regard to that district; and as to the territories tny opinion was also made known in a still more solemn form, by giving the executive approval required by the constitution, to the bill for the or ganization of the territorial government of lowa, which prohibited the introduction of slavery into that territory. The opinion from which we dissent was given in the face of, and directly contrary to the views expressed, in forms the most solemn and explicit, by ell or nearly allrthe non-slaveholding States, and we are not at liberty to suspect the sineerity of these expressions. Honest and well-mean ing.men, as we know the masses of one po litical friends in those States -to be, are in capable of trifling with so grave a subject. Our ancestors signalized the commence ment or this glorious governmennt of ours by rescuing from subjection to slavery, a territory which is now covered by five great States, and peopled by more than four millions of freemen, in the full enjoy ment or every blessing which • industry panender. They did this when the °pin ions*nd conduct of the world in regard to the institution of shivery were very differ eritirom what they are now. They did so before Great Britain had :I even commenced those gigantic efforts for the• suppression of slavery, by which she has so greatly distinguished herself. Af ter seventy--four years enjoyment of the sacred and invaluable right of self-govern 'mein, obtained for us by s the valor and. dis- Milan or.otir, ancestors, we, their, deepen dente are.ealled upon to doom or if that le tbe a reMg e,onnl, to woes to the in ., rolu t , quivery, a territorx garble of sus taining an equal number of new Statel to be added to our monfederany—a territory 'in a great part of which slavery has never existed in fact, and from the residue of which it has been expressly abolished by the existing government. We are called upon to, do this at a period.when the minds of nearly all mankind have been penetra ted by a conviction of the evils of slavery, and are uniting in efforts for.its suppres sion—at a moment, too, when the spirit of freedom and refbrni is everywhere far more prevalent than it has ever been, and when our republic stands prquilly• forth as the great exemplar of the wbrtd in the *Ocoee 1 qr free government. ' Who can believe that a popuhitiod like that which inhibits the notealaveholdiug States, probably amounting to twelve millions, who by their own acts; or by the foresight of others, have beep exempted from the evils of slavery, can e at such a moment, be induced, by considiratious.of any description, to make a retrograde move ment of a character so extraordinary and so painful ? Such a movement would, in my view of the matter, and I say it with unfeigned deference to the Conflicting opinions of others, bring reproach upon the influence of free institutions, which would delight the hearts and excite 'the hopes of the advocates of arbitrary pow er thronghoil the world. . , .. Holding these opinions, you have ditties to performs itoportantsir tbsy Bate. In the , first place you should adhere knflexibly to your opinions, as long as you believe them to be right, and no longer.— This sou will do. In the nest place Yon should present your views with .regaixt to them, calmly and distinctly, but firatlv', to your political brethren of the slaveholding States,, with a full statement Of the relions on which' they are *tended, that:labile read sons may be controverted if they toil not Sound. This you have done. ' l, In other important respects your pod lions are unassailable. The movement to advance the principle you desire 'to pre emie • was commenced in the right place, though perhaps not at. the most desirable momentcaml was not accompanied by pat 'tizaii measures or founded on political de signs of any deseription, as far as I know or have reason to believe. If I understand your course, your delegates went.to the convention prepared to accept the nomina tion of any sound Democrat, who bad not actually subMitted to a test which Led the well known and repeatedly express ed opinion of your State, withoutintearo gating him in regard to his opinion on this particular question. In taking this ground you pursued the only course by which the democratic party of of the Union, as hitherto organized, can be perpetuated and the just and fair minded men , of the party everywhere will, when the present .excitement has passed away, approve your condtict. One thing more,and your whole action will, in the end : attract the 'meatiest and enlist the geed feeling of all just and generous minds.' Let your farther ro eeedings in this whole matter be distittl unguished by moderation and forbearance. Injustice must be resisted-i-indighities , repelled, and all this can be done With-de cency and without impeachment of the motives of whole communities on account of d►e conduct of individuals. The situa tion of your political brethren in the shire holding States is not as favorable to calm discussion and dispassionate consideration as yours, and more will. 'therefore, in this respect, be expected at your bands: .11 your differences Must continue, do you at least sustain your views without vitupera. non or unnecessary excitement of any tle.v scription. Exemplify your firmness and your confidence in ,the justness of your I cause by the best of all testa—tbe dignity and moderation with which you uphold, it, When the election is over, and reason re. stones her empire, the ground which has,' been taken by your southern brethreo will I be reviewed with calmness, and, if foetid to be untenable, you are bound to believe it will be abandoned. If in thitt yoti are disappointed, it will still be a 'consolation to know that you have'doner nothing Unite• cessarily which could serve to exasperate alienation" which may then become incu rable. INSTANCtin OF PeEerANTIMENT. I have heard of several eases of people i hurrying home from a presentiment ; I and Mr. M.

No notice of such a misfortune . had ever' before ecteurred to himoter was there any reason Nvhaleret to etpectril ; the seeiderit originating from some defect in the km dation. A circumstance exactly similar to this, is related by Stilling of Profeasor Bohm ' teacher of mathematics at Mar burg ; who, being in company, was aud.J dettly seised with a conviction that' he ought to go home. As, however, he was very comfortably-taking tea, - alai hod itio; thing to do at home, he resisted the ad. monition ; but it returned with such force. that at length he was -obliged to yield. , On I reaching a his house, he found . 3 everythitik I as he had left it; - but he now felt himself Urged to remove his bed: from , the conies in which it stood to another but, as it had always stood there, he resisted tins imptita- lion also. , However,•the resistance teas vain ; absurd as it seemed, he felt lie nitist do it; *ogle summoned the maid, end With her aid drew the bed to the other side of the room; after which hefelt quiteat ease, and returned to spend the rest of the eve ning *id; his friends: At ten o'clock thb party broke up, and he retired home, and went to bed and to sleep.
