The Arzroaohssg Session Of Congress- The Press-
S,rt and the Fssstivs Naus LaW- Tie Merit
Presidency, &c.
From the proceedings in the Empire State, aud
the desperate struggle between the Union men and
disunionsts, North and South, we cannot bat ex-
pect boisteIous session The fact is, the next
short session may, in point of violence, exceed
that which preceded it, and all others in our con-
gressional annals. The slavery agitation has set
in so strongly, in both sections OF the couatry,
that il is almost certain the next Presidency will
turn on il, and that, however the disunionsts and
nullifers, North and Sonth, may be defeated and
checked by the sober sense ofthe patriotic masses,
they will return to the onslaught, until their doom
is finally pronounced by the election of an avowed
and above board anidisunion, anti agitation, anti
higher law, anti-Seward, anti Benton, and anti
hunbng candidate for the Presidency of the
Unued States. Seward and Bertoa will have TO
be entirely read out of church, not merely dis
have 10 80 together, and political banners will
he permir'e To be, like medals, inscribed with mot
toes on both sides, to suit all sorts of followers The
struggle now going on in New York, is but the
beginning OF the end; and it would perhaps, be best
ior the ultimate peace of the country if the revolu
tionlsts in the North were to accomplish transient
people eyes to the dangers in which the country
is place d, and enable them 10 form an estimate OF
the hazards which every good citizen runs in sup
porting set OF demagogues, whose avowed object
IL isgo subvert the constitution, and TO destroy our
nationality as Americans
MIR Fillmore and his cabinet may, at this period,
SHRINK from making open war on Seward and his
followers but sooner will the elections be over,
than the Pfesiden nj will come out with his prOcla-
NATION the Fugitive Slave Law, by which the
line ct demarkation will be drawn between the ad-
he's I'd
tht se two there can hence forth be more peace
The nittmotun of the administrator will 90 forth
m few days, after which hostrties will COM
mence i'll good earnest l, is the veriest non sense
10 stpps sc that Mr.. Fillmore can be President of
the Uui ed S.ares, and hoodwink at the Seward
riots, IN open violation of the constitution and laws
OF the country. Mr. Fillmore must make his cleo
ton between the country and the wing party, aud
then let the people understand that whatsoever is
not with HIM is against him, and will be treated as
rebel IN the camp. He has no other choice left
him but either 10 become himself the follower of
Seward, or to excommunicae him, and all those
who lock TO him as the expounder of their faith.
Mr. Fillmore will do the latter; and if he remain
nrm become not only great national benefdctor,
but mighty instrument in the hands of Providence
20 save end perpetuate our liberal institutions From
ali can learn, and the means that have of judy
ing, MIR. Fillmore is resolved to be President and
his cabinet and the country will stand by him TO
tbt last extremity.
Should the agitation go on in the extreme South,
ii hardly be doubted that the democratic party,
zoo, viii, and must, be dissolved Ii is in vain for
the South Carolina and Mississippi nullitiers sup
pose that any respectable portion OF the Northern
democracy will ever vote to disturb the peace mea-
sure passed at the last sessIon-that after having
passed through fierce ordeal to secure them,
they will be disposed 10 surrender them Besides,
the Texas boundary is no longer an open question.
Texas mas accepted the proposition, and that,
therefore, ia definitely disposed of. The United
States government is bound to fulfil its contract,
and no agitation North or South, can disturb that
settlement. In the same manner is California dis
posed Of. by being admitted as State. She can
ret, by any agitation, be reman 1ed to the territorial
condition, nor cen her right 10 regulate the rela-
lions between masters and servants within her own
borcers, be drawn INTO question. III, then, the
South agitate, The agitation can only disturb the
Fugitive Slave law and the territorial governments
esis blshed in New Mexico and Utah-the only
measures intended 10 sooihe the South, and TO COM
peBsate IL for the admission OF California The agi-
tation OF the Southern ultras, therefore, merely
plays INTO Stewards hands, just as Seward is dong
all he can to nurse and cherish the Southern ul-
uas-- their common object being the dissolution of
the Union, and the establishment, in lieu of it, of
Nor herr and Southern confederacies.
Nj aaWhile, the news here in Washington is.
that Foote can be sustained in Mississippi Cobb in
Georgia, Clemens III Aabsma, and the union men,
,hIoUg bout, in Virginia. As 10 Mr.. Soufe he Is
already broken down in Louisiana, having taken
counsel Of his vanity rather than of his attachment
% hls adopsed country. let Seward be put down
m New York, and you will hear Of no further agi-
tatiOn the South; and the agitation IN South Caro-
line itself must die for want OF aliment. Were II
rot for Seward, Rhert would be the most forlorn
man south OF Mason and Dxon's line.
The next session, too, will make the Presidency.

duties No eleventh hour man need expect TO
come in by split OF either party. IL parties split,
they are much more likely 20 unite on Union
ncket, which the sensible men of both parties may
vot, for without losing their own self respect than

statesman, not a soldier, or commodore, whose

country has seen TO what extreme danger mere
availability has led the way, and will not easily
again tall into the same error Neither the bar
racks, nor the foTeeastle Of man.Ot-w war, is the
proper place 10 select Presidential candidates
rom IN these degenerate times. The next Presi-
dent nusi be- elected on principles not account
