tions IN the Southern States do not seem to havo
had the effect to cool down the ardor of that portion
OF the people of South Carolina who are favorable
to dissolution Of the union of the States It is an
parent to the most casual observer that there is n
marked change in the feeling entertained in the
State, and there is nearly, if not quite, an equal
portion who are opposed to immediate ession and
to secession at e without the cooperation of some
other of the States which occupies the same poti-
cal position does South Carolina There are
very few people in the State who not favorable
to the ultimate formation of Southern confederacy
and all agree upon the abstract right Of State to
secede if the conditions upon which she became a
part OF such colfedera tion not strictly complied
with oy The other parties to the compact. Tho
Charleston Mrctoy, the organ Of the secession
party still unwaverny in its devotion to the
which it has espoused. and calls upon the authorities
of Charleston to p ohbit those connected with the
United States army from entering that city, as their
purpose of hostility is no longer doubtful This
movement grew out of the refusal of the commander
of Fort Sumter to allow persons to land on tho
island on which 1t is situated, and which has always
heietofor been free to the people in its vicinity. In
the We stern part of the State there is gre feel
ing of moderation, though it is not to Be doubted
that large portion of the people would at once
prefera dissolution of the Union.
KENTucKY.-The result of the late election in
this State seems to have created great deal of
wonderment and surprise, though there was every
indication that it would be just rs it is. In Ken
lucky, there is considerable feeling for the gradual
emancipation of the slaves, among the whig party,
and upon that issue, as well apon the compromise
measures, was the party divided. The whig nomi-
nee for Governor, while a member of the late con.
stitutonal convention, refused to participate in
meeting the object for the calling of which was to
express satisfaction with the compromise measures.
This state of affairs at portended his defeat,
and the withdrawal Of votes from the regular no
minee by the candidacy of Cassus Nj. Clay, who
stood upon the emancipation issue, to the amount Of
SIX OF seven thousands, gave the democrats plu-
rality and consequent success. They were well
satisfied as to what the result would be, and 50
stated Upon question on which the whig party
Is not divided, 1t has q decided majority in the
State; bu: the of emancipation is continually
gaining ground, which, until it is settled, most Sc
whig party in the State. Upon the question of the
PRESIDENCY, there seems an evident disposition to
favor Mr. Fillmore with the succession, on the
part OF the whig party The democrats have not
yet made movement on the question, though Gen.
Cass would seem to occupy the most prominent
position with his party.
New YORK The time is fast approaching when
the several factions Of the different parties will as
sumo each an undivided front, or be more widely
separated than before. There seems very little
doubt now that coalition of the contending fac
tiors Of tie whig party will be effected, and most
certainly upon the platform of the free soil faction
The movement for this end has me; the approba-
tion OF the whole whg press of the State and espe-
ciay that portion known the friends of the COM
promise measures and Of the administration has
been most loud in its praise. The hostility to tho
Fugitive Slave law by the main branch of the whig
party is not exceeded in any State 10 the Union.
The late fugitive slave case at Buffalo has brought
out its most determined opposition. The Buffalo
Express, the chief organ Of the free soil wings in
the western part Of the State, and the adjunct Of
the Albany Erening Journal, is most bitter in its
derunciatisn Of the law, and the officers who restore
the fugitive to his legal owner. This case, upon
the eve OF the meeting Of the convention 10 conc-
Late existing differences will have an evident effect,
and possibly make stronger and more united tho
opposition to the law. The free soil wings have q
majority in the State, and those who have stood
upon conservative ground must coalesce with the
majority or be left in the minority. With regard
to coalition Of the factions of the democrats
party, there seems difficulty in the way. Tho
Albany :Argus, the organ Of the conservative por-
lion OF the party, is opposed to any bargain with
the party standing upon the Van Buren, platform,
as dangerous to the best interests Of the party and
of the country. IL does not think the national
de me cratic party should coalesce with the party of
section, with view to the division of the Offices
of the state, but standing on the high democratic
ground OF the country, suffer defeat rather than be
.pccessful through an unhoy coalition. The Buff
'slo Courier, the organ Of the national democrats
IN the western part Of the State, Is strong advo-
,ate LOT the measures OF comprom and says that
he late surrender Of fugitive slave in that city
was but just fulilment OF the law, and an act OF
good faith to a sister State.
