Judge Mclean for the Presidency

Aleading southern man. Of large
political experience and acknowledged
sagacity, who has Just returned from
II tour through the States Of North
Carolina. Tennessee and Kentucky,
expresses confident opinion. rs the
result Of his observation and inquiry.
that il the Anti-Nebraska men select
some such candidate rs John Mclean
for President. and John Bell or Sam
Houston for Vice-Presldcnt, the whole
clamor OF seeLionhliiy will be destroy
ed. anda National complexion given
TO the ticket which will wholly extin.
guish Mr.. Fillmore, should he persist
in beinga fragmentary candidate.--
There is force in this suggesIion--not
particularly as applied to the South.
frpm which no very material assistance
can be expected under the most pro-
-pitious circumstances--but with refer
ence TO Il large and important interest
n the Free States. which, while OPP
posed TO the Nebraska business in all
tsphases, is essentially conservative,
and must be addressed through can
diGate of tried character and acknowl-
edged weight with the country. IL is
very we'll understood here that Judge
Mclean entertains the opinion that the
Missouri Compromise was consultations
al. and its repeal was violation of
faith and compact. Neither is it any
secret that he recognizes now. as he
has always heretofore done. the right
of Compress TO prohibit Slavery in the
Territories, deriving il from the police
power by which that or any other ex.
clusion might beexercised. In a word,
without being obnoxiously identified
y ith the issue, he is as sound upon il
as any who figured more prominently
in the contest. and perhaps even more
SO than some OF Its protested champi-
ons. AT all events, his views have
been most frankly expressed through
out, and while they have not been OBJ
truded upon the public, his friends
have been aware that they could be
obtained on any proper OCCASION

II is reported that Mrs. Stowe. the
author Of Uncle Tens Cabin, will
soon put to press a work illustrating
the degradation Of the poor white pop
ulation OF the South. The lady need

pictures. The degrssion-we may
say the positively AFFECT slavery ofthe
poor white population Of the north,
and especially in cities and manufac-
turing town, is worse than negro sla-

We have long known that "the poor
white population Of the north" was an
object Of scorn and contempt with our
old line friends, unless they were Irish
or Dutch, but Bro. Covington is the
first to put on record that they are
worse than negro slaves. This ac-
counts for the untiring efforts Of that
party to introduce slavery into Kansas
and thus to keep out ''the poor white
population Of the north"

to circulate extensively such papers

they can find any better paper than

There is no more striking. and at
the same time no more satisfactory
contrast between the present times and

hereditary, as they used to be. The
Guelph and Ghibeline quarrel 10 Italy
