AGITATION.

4 The fresh agitation of the slavery subject
In the Northern States, of which the Nebraska
bill is the occasion, gives too much reason
for apprehension that the South can expect
no permanent peace and security except by
the surrender of her rights and honor
Scarcely has the country subsidized into par
tial repose through the Compromise of 1850,
before it is aroused from its troubled sleep
BY another midnight fire.bell, telling that the
incendiary is again abroad on his work OF
desolation and ruin. If the solemn compact
Of the Federal Constitution can give no
abiding security-if a Compromise originated
by the best craftsmanship of the land and
sustained by the whole conservative infu-
ence of every section, can only produce quiet
for four short years, where shall we look for a
permanent safeguard against agitation and
fanaticism? What but perpetual broils and
Increasing alienation of feeling, can we an
hcipate? Wemust confess that, the more we
reflect upon the irreconcilable antagonism Of
the North and South upon the subject of
slavery, and the interest which demagogues
possess and the influence they exert, in wi
dening the breach, the less reason can we
see for hoping that the South can purchase
peace at any price short of concessions which
will be ultimately fatal to her domestic insti-
buttons.
Such concessions can never be made by a
proud and free people. The probable ulti-
q mate solution of the slavery question is one
which no lover of the Union, of civil liberty
and of peace, can contemplate with compo-

COUNTRY ABOVE PARTY.

We are glad to witness the entire and I'M
broken union of the Southern Wing and
Democratic members of Congress upon the
Nebraska question. Let the South be but
true to itself, and keep the vital subject of
slavery out of the foul arena of party, and all
will be well. In resisting the enemies of the
South and its institutions, we should stand
together with as much unity and compact
ness as we would present to foreign foe.

The long.promised new Double Cylinder
Prsss for the Dispatch has at last been put IN
operation. q our readers no doubt supposed
frem the improved appearance Of the paper
On Friday and Saturdaylast. 1t labored un-
der disadvantages such as are incident TO ail

new press move and perform its complex
operations in so successful and charming a
manner. a few days win enable tito do even
better work.
This Press is from the establishment of
Me.srs. HoE & Co. of New York, the very
best manufacturers of fast printing presses IN
the world Ithas all the improvements which
its enterprising makers have invented, and
exhibits the well known faithfulness, accura-
ey, and mastery skin which distinguish all
the work turned from their worldrenowned
manufactory. Its printing is not only beau
tifully executed, but it is done with astonisil-
ing rapidity. It's speed gives us great advan-
taee in the internal economy of the Dispatch
Office. 1t will enable us to issue the paper
with greater punctuality, and. at the same
time, to delay the hour of going to press, if
necessary to do so for news, much longer than
heretofore.
Upon this consummation, which we have
% long and so devoutly wished for, we may
congratulate our readers as well as ourselves !;
and we take occasion to thank them, as we
do most heartily, for the patience with which
they have waited for it, and the strength Of
attachment they have displayed towards the
Dispatch. in steadily adhering to it when at
times it was scarcely readable. Indeed, the
immense circulation of the paper has been
constantly increasing in spite of the serious
disadvantage under which it labored. What
may we not look for now that SO sad defect
has been remedied? We had demonstra
ton, indeed, of what we may expect in the
large increase of orders for the Dispatch on
Saturday. 1t long ago bade adieu to all "slow
coaches, +" andnow that it has got a new Loco
motive, it must be considered as more than
ever entitled to the reputation of being one
of the fast line Of newspapers.

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

The Washington correspondent OF the N
Y. Times says that the answer to Mr.. Clay
toms call for the correspondence relative to
the Sandwich Islands which took place be-
tween the American Secretary of State under
Mr.. TYLER in ls43 and IA and the British gov
eminent, win probably show that when Great
Britain disavowed theseizure of those islands
Nv Sir George Panlet, the American Secretary
Of state, Mr. Upshur, agreed, on behaif Of the
Ua;tcd States, that ace roald nerer seek TO Sc
care for, our citizens any greater advantages
those islands than were enjoyed By the SUB
,eets Of Great Britain.
e Itis farther said that about the time of the
correspondence between Secretary Upshur
asd Great Britain, a written arrangement
vas entered into between Great Britain and
France by which they agreed to maintain the
Independence of the Sandwich Islands.
Whilst Of course England and France have
] no right to forbid the sovereign of the Sand
wich Islands from making such disposition
Of his dominions as may suit his royal plea.
i sare. we feelno desire to help on the Northern
: csusade which has been started for the acoui.
sition Of that territory. We hope that South.
en- men. whom the North is bent on excluding
hon territories already in the Union, will not
: - % verdant as to provoke fight with Great
britain, or France, or any body else, for the
9andwich Islands. If the South is to he de.
nied equal privileges in contemplated terri
tosiai acquisitions to this country, it is better
mat those acquisitions should not be made.
