DALLAS AND BUcHASAs.-The State Of Pennsyl
vanin is now the battle ground for the next Pres.
dency Its prominent candidates are Messrs. Dallas
and Buchanan. The former, It is understood, runs
as the candidate against the extension of slavery and
in hope of receiving the Democratic anti-savery in
fuence. The latter has the official and general in.
fuences of the administration The contest will be
violent and even bitter; and we may anticipate that
the party will be tom asunder by the issue. 1t is one
that in the nature Of things, neither be harmon,
lied nor set aside. Its virulence already great, will
increase with every movement Of the canvass, and
must result in the division Of the locofocosm Of the
State. Against such contest, Of course, VIC can
have no objection. The hero of Buena Vista will be
very likely to brush both Of them out Of the way In
