As parties take position in the field,the aspects of thePrcsidential canvass become more settled and distinct,andwe arc enabled by the landmarks thus afforded to judge somewhat of the future. The Democratic Party has deliberately chosen its ground and taken its position, with a can didate selected in a manner, and on a platform that leave no doubt as to its principles and purposes. Mr. Buchanan's nomination is, and is designed to be, nothing more or less than a perpetuation of the policy inaugurated with Pierce and that has marked his administration. The same party that selected Pierce has now chosen Buchanan. It was Virginia that brought forward Pierce, and Virginia has now put for ward Bncbanan. There is nothing in the life or antecedents of Mr. Buchanan that affords the slightest warrant for the belief that with him in the Presidential chair, there would be a change of policy. The platform on which Buchanan has been nominated, and to which some planks have been added so as to make it square with the advanced ideas of the new candidate in regard to the Ollibusterism with which ha and bis party arc so thoroughly im bued, ia the same as that on which Tierce ran. MR. BUCHANAN'S WEAKNESS. The New Tork Express, in reference to Mr. Buchanan's weakness, says "That the measures of the Pierce administration are already endorsed. Mr. Buchanan has held office nnder it abroad, and he has, in advance, announced his adherence to measures which he beforo condemned. He has stood upon f he Missouri Compromise flat footed, and in his recent declaration has acquiesced and appro ved of its repeal. lie has a record against the extension of slavery, and a record against Arresting the extension of slavery. lie has a Democratic record and a Federal record, as red and blue as Lucifer himself. His antece dents as a politician are of the worst possible sort, and of so mixed a caste that it will lead all cautious men to mistrust him. He has been aspiring for the Presidency for twenty Sve years, and a public man tor forty. Tie has held Federal certificates of election under the worst regime of Federalism, and Democratic certificates of election since thj time fortune lirst favored Andrew Jackson. - lie has been an extreme party man, too, and as such wanting in magnamity to political op ponents, as witness his treatment of Henry Clay and his attacks on John Davis, of Massa chusetts, for exposing his inconsistency and want of Americanism in regard . to American Jauor. Too ambitious to be consistent too timid to be just, and ever ready to be alf things to all men, a "fifty-four forty" man by profes sions, a "forty-nine" man by action, very Eng lish in England, very. American in America, very free tradish in the United States Senate, very protective in Pennsylvania. ire hardly know a man against whose polit ical professions and practices more can be said. This record, ef course, is to be met fairly and fully, not abusively or unkindly, wc hope, but nevertheless in the full light of an intelli gent and manly canvass.' Wc neither like Mr. Buchanan's antecedents, his politics, his prin ciples, nor the platform on which the Cincin nati Convention have placed him. He wants firmness, consistency, fairness. He will, from Iho neccsity of the case, be compelled to walk in the footsteps of the present administration, and we pray a kind Providence to save us from such a public calamity ax this.

THE RADICAL DEMOCRACY ON BUCHANAN. The New York Post, the organ of the Kadi- cal Democracy, continues to pour "hot shot" into Buchanan ; and the Democratic party, so far from being united, by the reinstating of the Hards and the degradation of the Softs, appears to have come out of the Convention worse divided than ever. The Post, says : In an examination of the political character of Mr. Buchanan which wc made some months since and in which we showed the superiority f his chances for a nomination, we alluded to the character of his a ssociates and confeder- ates. Aopuouc man 01 our uay is sunouiiucu ... -.p 1 r . by so profligate a set of followers and adnur- ers. He is the centre of a circle of unprin- ciplcd and restless adventurer, whom men of a higher degree of self respect avoid. There is something we suppose it consists in the ease with which he is managed which attracts to him that class of persons ; and he seems to bo perfectly content with the associations thus acquired. If Mr. Buchanan could see no harm in seiz ing upon Cuba for the protection of slavery, it is not likely that he will entertain any scru ples concerning the seizure of Kansas by the slaveholders and their myrmidons, for the same purpose. Kely upon it, that battle is to go on as it has begun, unless stopped by the defeat of the Cincinnati candidate ; there is to be no compromise with the residents of the Territory ; no slackening of the persecution by which they arc to be driven out that their places may be supplied by the slave-drivers and their gangs. If Mr. Buchanan is elected, the seal of approval will be set by the people of the United States, on all the fraud, all the violence, all the usurpation, all the burnings, robberies and murders, the news of which, for so many months, has been the melancholy burden of the mails from the West. He will be as easily persuaded into a co-operation with these atrocities, as he was into the folly of the (Mend Manifesto. ILLINOIS POLITICS. . . The Chicago correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing under date of June 4, says: "We are in the midst of a revolution ; but you seem to be totally oblivious of the fact. The. ordinary events of years have been com pressed into the last fortnight, but the light nings have not informed you of their magni tude. First, then, on the 20th ult., the Great Anti-Slavery Extension Convention of Illinois met at the City of Bloomington, and nomina ted a full State ticket, with the gallant Col. W. II. Bissell at its head for Governor. More than one thousand delegates were in attend ance. All were imbued with the pure spirit of Freedom. One half of the delegates were of Democratic antecedents, embracing the best and most influential men of the jarty. - It was most emphatically a Convention of the people, where all classes, opinions, and shades of belief were represented but all in spired with one common resolve to resist the further aggressions of the Slave Power, to the bitter end, and to maintain Freedom in the Territories at every cost and Hazard letting consequences fall on the heads of the wrong doers. Not a jar nor heart-burning was felt ; not a quarrelsome -or provocative word was uttered by a delegate during the two days the Convention was in session.

The Northern squatters are yielding to dispa,ir. Their only hope is in Northern "resolution. If the people of the North command their Representatives to stop the supplies, unless Kansas be immediately admitted into the Union, they will fight and struggle to the end; but if the supplies are granted, without this proviso, they mnsl yield to the overwhelming foreign forces united to subdue them. The position of the northern people of Kan sas is one of imminent peril. The troops, the Courts, the Blue Lodge, and the southern army under Buford and others, are inccssantly cmploycd in robbing ami harassing them. If northerners unite for mutual protection, tho troops immediately disperse them, and a par ty of Missouri or Alabama ruffians, following in the footsteps of the soldiery, plunder and insult them with impunity. Every man who is capable of acting as a leader is either un der arrest or under indictment. The farmers are forced to be idle in the field, for several hours daily, in order to keep up a watch for the approach of guerillas. Scouts ride all night in several districts. Missouri is mar- shalling her forces again. Lies, malignant and innumerable are sent in legions along the border counties, to exasperate the people of that State against the Free State settlers and their political, opinions A civil war of submission to arbitrary rule, to despotism on the Bunch, military dictation and armed mob law, are the only alternatives lfore the people from the North, in this Ter- ritory, who are resolved, at all hazards, to re- main here. . . vol.

Leaving the town he was fol- lowed by a party of men, who, on their return, reported that he "had got into the river at a place too deep for him to cross." The impres sion was that he had been hung. We learn further, from the same source, that the extra publisher by us yesterday, from the Kansas Enterprise, giving an account of a battle between some Pro-Slavery and Free Soil men, abounds in misrepresentations, Captain II.

Mr, Everett, in his introductory remarks to the delivery of his Oration on Washington, in Taunton, recently made the following allusion to the assault upon Senator Sr.mner : After alluding to the pleasure with which ho alwaJ"s dwe1' cn the theme of Washington, he continued as follows: But, with the satis faction which I feel in addressing you this c- vening, arc mingled the most profound anxie ty and grief a sadness which I strive in vain to suppress, overwhelms me at the occurrences of the past week, and a serious apprehension forces itself upon my mind that events are e- ven now in train, with an impulse too mighty to bo resisted, which will cause our beloved country to shed tears of blood through all her borders for generations to come.

THOMAS H. BENTON. . This well known Democratic statesman, the friend and associate of such men as General Jackson and Silas Wright, lingers still amongst us in a rigorous old age. The St. Louis Dem ocrat publishes the following letter from Mr. Benton, in reply to the official notification of his nomination as a candidate for Governor.. ' Washington-, May 185C. To Messrs. Thos. L. Price, Jacob Hall, Francis P. Blair, Jr., and others. Gentlemen: I have received your letter on the subject of the nomination made bv the Democratic Convention at Jefferson City, and am greatly pleased with the whole of them ex- cept the one which relates to myself. That takes me by surprise, and must remain under consideration until I return, which will be j soon, as I am nearly through the occupation which has detained me here. In the mean time, if any other person was thought of for the Governor's nomination in the event of my inability to accept it, I would wish him to be brought forward at once, without awaiting any further answer from me. 'It is my intention to speak on the state of public alairs when I get to Missouri, but not in the way of a canvass, nor as a candidate for any office, but to do my part as a citizen in trying to preserve the pcaco and harmony of th Union, and to keep agitation and section alism out of our borders two evils now beset- and Mr. Calhoun himself, as late as 1848 only two years before his death, and after he had broached the doctrine of no power in Congress to legislate upon slavery in Territories repu- J diated the idea of repeal, and declared that the "attempt" to do so would "disturb the peace and harmony of the Union." It has been at tempted and accomplished; and the peace and harmony of the Union have been destroyed. Out of the repeal of this compromise has sprung forth a new test of Democracy, which consists in exacting party allegiance to the principles of the Kansas Nebraska Bill. The first inquiry upon the virtue of this new test is, to find out what those principles are ; and the result is diametrically opposite, as it comes from one side or the other of the Potomac River. From the North the answer is, squat ter sovereignty! as being the inherent right of the people of the Territory to decide the ques tion of slavery for themselves, and to have it or not, just as they please. In the South that definition is held to ba rank demagoguerv, and that the people of the Territory, no more than Congress, have not a particle of power on the subject ; that the Constitution carries sla very with it into every Territory as soon as acnuired. OVf'r-ridiniT' ami rrmfrnllinir oil lura against it, and keeping it there, in defiance of the people of Congress, until the Territory becomes a Mate and excludes it. Thus the advocates of the test are as opposite as light and darkness in telling what it is, and surely they ought to agree upon it before they re quire others to believe in it. it is impossioie 10 uciieve in Ijotn ; and I believe iu neither I believe in the old dne. trine, that the Territories are th the United States and under th of Congress, and subject to such laws as Con- gress chooses to provide for them (or to per- mit them to makc themselves) until they , c. . , 41 i . . , ., , hecome States ; and after that (the children rr"ca ai iwcmj -one years 01 age) they are out of guardianship and have all the rights of their fathers. That is my belief, and has been the belief of the wholo United States until denial. Witness (to go no further back the bill for the admission of Texas in 1815, on which all who voted for that admission voted for tho re-establishment of the Missouri com promise line in all that part of it south of the Arkansas river where it had been abrogated by the laws and constitution of Texas. Wit- I 18o0 ; also, the votes of some of these advo cates in favor of the Wilmot proviso ; and, above all, the protest of the ten Senators against the admission of the State of Califor nia in 1850, because Congress would not legis- late upon the subject of slavery in the territo- ry which was to compose it. With all these authorities and evidences in favor of the old doctrine and against tho new test and its au thors, I think the old Democracy may be al lowed to dispute its binding force, at all events until its advocates can agree in telling what it is. Respectfully.

A Special Despatch to the New Tork Daily Times, dated St.Louis, June 12, says that -Os-sawatomie, a Free-state town, was sacked by a Georgia mob on the Cth inst. The printing office was destroyed, houses were burned, 16 horses were stolen, and the jewels were taken from ladies' ears and fingers. Palmyra has also been sacked, and robberies occur daily. Messrs. Howard and Sherman, of the Con gressional Investigating Committee, arrived at St. Louis, from Kansas, to-day. They are at Barnum's Hotel. Mr. Oliver stopped at Rich mond. The Committee were at Westport, Missouri, 8 days. While there, large parties of armed men from different parts of Missouri marched: through in guerrilla parties into tho Territory, and were engaged in robbing, kil ling and driving out the settlers. Gov.Shannon testified there before thcCom m it tee. As he entered the town from tbeTer ritory a company of CO armedMissourians were marching into the Territory from Westport. Gov. Shannon went to Kansas city with the Committee, and while there saw without com ment a party of Clay county men cross the river and proceed into the Territory, led and well armed. . The Committee have been quiet, but very searching in the.ir investigation. They go to Detroit to remain for several days. The tes timony giveu is said clearly to prove that of the five thousand five hundred votes given at the Legislative election in March, 1855, only eleven hundred were cast by actual residents, and of these the names of but eight hundred appear in the census report. The Territory is now convulsed with civil war, to sustain laws based on this election. Col. Sumner is out with UnitedStates troops to preserve order. He dispersed several hun dred men under Gen. Whitehead, but they re assembled on the Cth and sacked the town of Ossawatomie. The Free-state men are organizing for self defence. . Governor Shannon has gone to Fort Leavenworth. . LATEST.
