uhP Presidency.

Though the time and place of holding the Whig National Convention have not as yet been designated. the Delegates thereto have nearly or quite all been ap- pointed. Some of these Delegates have received instructions to vote Cor General Scott, ethers for Mr. Fillmore, and oth- CTS for MT. Webster while large part of the whole number received no instruc- tions whatever, but are left free to pur- sue such a course ns, under circumstan- ces which al the time exist. they shall deem most expedient and proper. A. mong the latter class. we are glad to say are the Connecticut delegation. Un> occasionally. there are occasions when it Is right and advisable that delegated bodies should be instructed by their con stituents |; but VIC think ths approaching National Convention is not likely to be such an occasion. There are diverse conflicting nterests-sectional questions and candida;es-strong personal prefer ences and preindices-which will come before that body; and unless the mem- bers meet in spirit of comprem'se and concession, willing to sacrifice personal feelings and all minor differences, for the sake of harmony and for the success of the cause, it were as well if tie National Whig Party were disbanded at once, and that every member of it should go into the Presidential contest on his own hook. Delegates under instructions are tied and tramelied. They cannot act independent ly, or as their judgments and consciences may possibly dictate.
 It most sincerely to be hoped that tue Convention will exercise the wisdom and prudence so essential in such body at such time as the present. Neither the North or South ought to insis. upon the candid> ate being pledged or committed in favor of any question on which there are strong sectional feelings. The Compromise Meas ures. we think. belong to this class, and should rot be urged by our Southern friends as the basis of the Party. If they should be forced upon the Convention, we fear fol the harmony and success of the whigs in the great contest which is before thsm.
 However, we are willing to leave the selection of the Presidential candidate ia the hands. of the Convention, and tU abide by the result.
