Nv, we remark upon the aspect OF the Presidential
question: -, .-or., ,o, H. =;

IeSsd NH Carolina, The great prominence which
be PENNSYLVANIA Resolutions give to the doctrine of
State RIGHTS and strict construction, and the strong
edre they give Of respecting the rights OF the South,
iii lend to strengthen Mr. Buchanans party through
out the South, and the more' because these doc'rnes
and hedges are in harmony with the principles he
hos always maintained throughout his long public
"arser His high ability, abundant experience, and
his moderation Of character, are all strong arguments
in his favor and increase the chances that time and
examination will rather enlarge IMAM diminish the
MEMBER of his friends
After some remarks in relation to other gentlemen,
who are spoken for the Presidency. the Mercury al
Indies 10 Judge Douglas as follows:
But Douglas is another sort of man. Really SUI
uerior in talents, he has the secret of making all his
movers available for popularity and Influence. In
Inc Northwest he would have very cordial and gen.
era support, and has not few supporters in Virgin
ia The great danger 10 the party is that the claims
Of the candidates will be pressed with zeal that i'll
degenerate into acrmony, and that when the choice
is finally made, there will be no general concurrence
in sustaining it,
We take it for granted that South Carolina would
vote for either Buchanan or Douglas, against Scott
Fillmore, w ebster any other consolidation Wing
CALIFORNIA AND SLAVERY. The fugitive slave
law, which lately passed the California Assembly
provides that slaves brought into the State prior the
adoption Of The State constitution shall be liable &c
the provisions of the congressional fugitive slave law
This it is alleged, is inraction of the constitution
which says that neither slavery involuntary
vude except for crime shall ever be tolerated in the
State.
Mr.. Peachy presented most extraordinary me-
mortal in the House on the 10Th ultimo-a memorial
of twelve hundred and eighteen citizens of South Car
olna and Florida, asking the Legislature of Catfor-
MIA to grant them. essential benefit to that Sta
the privilege of becoming citizens, of indentiIying
themselves permanently with their interests, and Of
emigratine 10 their rural districts with rdn6ie and
gorern0bAe population in The relation yf property, by
whose peculiar labor alone their valuable soils may
be rendered productive, and our wilderness may be-
made 10 blossom like the rose.' They ask permIs-
sion to coonize rural district with population of
not less than two thousand slaves.
After discussion the petition was referred to
the Committee on Federal Relations.
bill has also been introduced into the Legislature
to call convention TO revise the constitution, the oh
ject being to divide the State, and to apart the
Southern portion for slave State.
