 "afany of ohF more sangane Southern ff.ensls labor under the mpression---tallacination we should call it--fhat the 90 called Compromise measures oftAe last session of Congress by which so much was conceded to the North and so little ared fo. the South, have aIiayed there forever the anti iislayery feeling, winch derdes all conSii tutiona oblgations and threatens to dissolve this Unior. In th;s we have all along expressed our gnbellef. The North is too deeply imprcgnated with the fanascism of anti slavery so cense it's hos tility to the South, ana t witnesses the rapid pro- gress Of this feeling daily, in manner too papa- ble io cause t to desst. Instead of the ani-sa- very party dsbanding, new and jealous recruits are daily Hooking to it's standard, and like other unpnHcipled bandits, the more they are bEIbed to be qnie;, the more daring end audacious they be- come. Those who know them hest-those who live in thei. midst, and have opportunities for watching their operations, know this, and proclaim II. Ifa press in the South points to the advance of this neendiary horde, the eiap-trapcry of "dis unionf' is raised against it. and if is set down by some of our passive wiseacres as a strrer-up of sedtion.
 The editor of Inc New York Mirror. a sagaeious observer. states facts in inc following article which, if put forth by Southern paper, would be cred down as baselesz empty agitation The Southern Snbmissionsss will not be brought to be. lieye with the editor of the Mirrof that our ene- mics arc already in the field" Not they, good easy souls; they swear he has dofed his armor and gone to rest
 With his martial cloak around him." but they will discover their error one of these days when " the PhilisiinesSre upon nS,'' if not before Without proceeding further in these remarks, we will publish the article from the Mirror which called them forth, and which, indeed, contains matter faE seEous reflection.
 4 STARTLING BET--A gentleman in our office yesterday offered to make bet that Vim. II. Se- ward would be the next President of the U Statesi Ii IS proper to premise that the offer was made by Of our most substantial citlzens who is an able lawyer, an observing politician and strong Union whg. We profess that, coming from such a source and uttered in peculiarly emphatic manner, the proposition somew hat startled us. Our friend backed up his prediction, by assert ing that Seward could carry to-day, in Presiden- tial contest, New York, Massachusetts, Counecti- cut Vermont, and possibly New Hamashre, and these States, he thinks, are enough to throw the election into the House; and when it comes to that he believes that the friends of NIT. Seward either by fair means or foul, would manage to carry the day.
 We fancy we can see a smile of ineredulity play ing upon the eoantenanees of our Silver Grey friends as they contemplate the above paragrapb But tt IS wise maxim in war, never to under es;i- mate the strength of your enemy. Seward IS ten times the fox and twenty times the politician that ever Van Buren was, and has bettel chance for the Presidency now than the "Kinderhook Magi- cian'' had two years before his election. He IS not only cunning politician, who knows how and when to throw out sweet morSels of pro- mise to catch the favor of the people, but he pos SeSSes Cardinal Richelleu in Thurlow Weed, and powerful alley in Cardinal Hughes, to aid him m any Jesnitleal plot necessary to the accomplish ment of his ambitious schemes. The press, also, of the State of New York, 8 far, at least as the rural districts concerned, is already suboE- ned to his purpose, and closely affiliated to the ''central organ" at Albany.
 In New England, the Boston Atlas for many years the leading journal of the whig party, has gone over to the 'twoolly heads" horse, foot and dragoons and all it's Eastern satellites are tunb- ling after il. The Burlington Free Press, and the Vermont Watcbman, are intensely ''woolly;'' and are said to be in the pay of the Sewarditcs. The Portland Advertiser IS assuming the same complexion; and there is scarcely standard bearer left among the old whg editors of New England who fights under the broad banner of the Union upon the broad platform Of the Constitution. The New Bedford Mercury paper Of some irn- portance in the Old Colony, the organ of the Grin ueS and other milli0naTes of Bristol county; comes out violently against the Fugitive Slave law; and m view of the coming contents holds the follow ing language
 !" The wings of this State will never be brought to advocate. Of defend, or tolerate the Fugitive Slave law, or will they ever aid in pro turing the re nomination of the President who has been the champion of that law. Who ever else may be the choice of the North for the whig Presidential candidate, il will not be Willard Fillmore, nor his Secretary of State"
 l These indications should not be unheeded by the sentineis the watch towers of the Republic. IL is time to sound the alarm to the SleeperS with in the citadel Our enemies are afeaay m the field; and the next cry will be-" The Philistines 1 are upon us."
 The Van Buren wing of the Democratic party stand ready to go over to the Sewardltes for a " consideration" say an Attorney Generalship for Butler and mission to St. James for Prince John: while the Bentonians of the Soath west are march ing up motley regiment to join the invading hosts of the North.
