The Slavery Agilation—Presldentlal . , , Asplranfi—the Saida. To a close observer of politieal i movements, the present aspect oi the slaverygitatioo, in connection with Pre+lential asp' ts, and the d il Booth, is pregnant ivith deep i erest. It is I well known that - each of the several Northern I candidates of the Deinocracy, Dallas, Buchan- , iit z and Cass, aware 4f the Southern opposition to, the restriction of that " peculiar institution," have. felt constrained, from motives which are well understood, to t define their positions," or in other words, to 4ress their views of its justice end constit46onality,. in the perforin-' *nee of which they have endeavored slide entirely over to the Southern side of alb ques tion. - Mr. iluchanaiit, who took the initiatory . , In 'this inovet,_ j5ll it t, ~hit upon the extension of the Missouri ComprOmise as the best method Of settling the difliety, while Mr. Dallas,with far more plansibili% we opine, gave it as his /opinion that Congress had nothing to do wtth the question, eithet to create, prohibit, tr "compromise;' andothat slavery can not exist in territory that„weinay acquire, that :i is new free, except by thelvoluntary consent of the people who shall i4babit it—hence that till agitation of the question was vain and made- tat to ; accomplish no good but rather midi 4il to,the party. Neat came Oen. Cass, who, al though he had occe§,pproved and stood ready to vote for the Proviso, and a year afterwards opposed it only beciuse he thought it prenia ture, hid now diseriered ti4l the others had. overreached him, arra that he must strike again or they vzild entirOy outdistance him before the ate, was fairly began.

We ardently wislrthe question had .no existence, or cause for existence; -but such beiiii the ease, it 'dust be met, and as the dis tingu iiiiiid, Carolinian has declared, we believe "now is;the time , to meet it." Procrastina tion will . ; only magnify, it cannot obviate the diffieulty, surrounding it. - Of coarse it is understood that we are among •thole who'believe the restriction of that insti tutihn proper and just. We have so expressed ourielf*Often before, and have 'seen no good reaion; why we should change 130 r opinion. But whether it is done Through the policy afj I Mr. Witinht or 'Mr. Dallas, the Proviso, or the 1 powers of:the Constitution, is of little matter to 1 us, so that it is accomplished. We are 'dis- 1 posed: to endorse the sentiments of Mr. Dal las, so far as he declares the impossibility for' Islavery "to exist in any territory now free ex- 1 1 cept byianthority of Congress; hut we -disa gree with 'him in believing it sound policy to "let the subject entirely alone." We should have no objection to this if the South would abide by it; but it will not—so her statesmen and her' press positively declare. They pro nouncebie doctrines false,' and aver that they have a right to emigrate to any territory :IP- 1 pertaining to this'Union, with their slaves, sod 'demand the protection of this Government in retaining !them, as in South' Carolina. And they ii4t, only affirm Their right, but their de terminftkpn to de, this, in case any territory is acquired. ; Such being the ease, to drop the subject now without any action, would bi 3 vir tually to abandon all territory, now or hereaf ter to: be acquireiVto the curse and blight of. slavery. 'We would prefer rather, if the Wit met Pro'viso is so alarming a ".firebrand," to, see a simple resolution, affirming this doctrine ' of Mr. as, which we believe to be eminent ly Dallas, briefest correcf„adopted by Congress,. as the best, briefest and only safe way:of bringing the_agi teflon to ft focus. Certainly it would be corn- preheniire, and we cannot see how it could be! improper. ; We are the more anxious to see 1 this doneso that we may be clear from the perplexities of its 'agitatinn during the next Presidential campaign. Buell this is not done,' and the agitation still continues, we can think of no-better method of reconciling these con lieting interests than that proposed by the , Evening Post's - correspondent,' which we gave; our readers a few weekipago. Let the condi- r [ 1 , date of the party be the right sort of a man in all other 'respects, let him agree to leave the; dispositiOn of the question to Congress, with- . out his: influent*, and all parties * of the Democ racy eau unite upon and triumphantly elect him. 1 We learn' from the Bulletin, that the nomination. of V.

We are assured that, in addi4on to the gentlemen who have thought proper 1;to vindicate themselves .publicly from the chake of interfeting in their Legislative - capacitin a matter that belongs exclusively l e to the ople, there was a large number whose name's kre not appended to the card, who de clined participating in the caucus. The truth of thissurance will be ipparent when we state at' of the vleven Democratic Here sentati es from the 1 county of Philadelphia, cs nearly #ll of whom are known to be favorable to Mr: Pallas, we find but the name of Mr. Downs The prompt denial of any partieipa- i tion in pie proceedings of. the caucus by the large number of the respectable representatives who he i subscribea their names to the card, is notly conclusive evidence that the meeting was to r general. but is a strong proof of their, ono ; strict muse of propriety.

We have sad that this is .an extraordinary passage; and so it is. So far tis it .relites to Susquehanna county, we think We are warran ted in pronouncing it incorrect. . The Conven tion of this county, it is true, did not instruct for any map; but it r4ecied a resolution taw tamonnt to instructing for Mr. •Buchanan, by a very decided vote, which *e hive no doubt it would do again, ,nnder thelsame or any other circumstances. If this is not 4 instructing a gainst him" then we are Ist a loss to know what would constitute instructions " against him." It certainly must bf its near neighbor. And so far as Bradford'. is concerned, the appointment of Mr. Wilmot himself, and a col league equally hostile to Mr. Buchanan, by votes nearly unanimous, as delegates to the 4th of March Convention, abindantly refutes the hypothesis of Mr-Thompson, and shows him at least that he has once been "greatly mis, tak4n." In either case; therefore, his asier tient; are wide of the mark, We fully and heaitily endorse the 'following remarks ot Mr. Packer, ,Speaker of the House, on the bill, or rather Philadelphia opposition to the bill, to incorporate they Brandywine Rail road company The Sneaker said, " He was 'surprised at the spirit and temper which had appeared in this' house,' when subjects of improvement had come before it, and especially at the spirit whiCh al ways appeared from the city and county of Phil adelphia, for whose benefit forty millions of dollars bad been profnAly laid but. Philadel. phis had received more thati any other portion of the State from the state improvements, but 'when any-Improvement was an4gested, she was the first toi cry no f it don't point to our city.
