Presidential Spe u atoms

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Express prophecies as follows Of the Gin
cnnati Convention.
1t seems now almost certain that Gen. Pierce
will 20 into the Democratic Convention with
nearly majority vote in his favor. The South is
firm in this respect. and enough Northern votes
can doubtless be had to give him perhaps clear
majority on the first ballot. A short time ago |
would not have believed this, but ] am satisfied
from recent Indications, as well facts that have
come to my knowledge, that such Is really the
case. Mr. Buchanan's chances second, and
those of Mr.. Douglas third, the Convention
will organize. II neither is successful at the out
set they will probably all be dropped. and the
choice rest on either Mr.. Hunter, OF Virginia, or
Mr.. Rusk, of Texas.
Should either of the Northern men be nomina-
ted, Mr. Howell Cobb, OF Georgia. will ho the
candidate for Vice PRESIDENT but should Sonih-
ern man succeed, them Mr.. Dickinson, of New
York or Senator Bieler, of Pennsylvania, will
doubtless be selected. These are the opinions OF
the most sagacous men of that party. who pro.
fess 10 be most thoroughly acquainted with all
the chances aud schemes on foot. Mr.. Rusk has
many friends who are laboring zealously IN his
behalf. His abilities are fair and he is quite as
worthy Of the position rs the one who now oocu'
pies it. but think the South would more cordi-
ally rally ON Mr.. Hunter, who is by far MIR.

Mr. Buchanan and the Kansas Bill

Mr.. Buchanan is in favor Of the Kansas Bill =
80 is Mr.. Van Buren's old friend Hon. c. G.
Cambreling II is not enough, these times. for
man TO say that he approves that mcasure--but
he must say wherefore, and with what oonstruc-
ton, be approves it, Many of the leading free
soiler-, it is known, approve it as ",ho best
meas ureffor freedom ever enacted" Gen. Cnss
advocated i.as es,ablis hing the "mons,rous doc
trlne" Of squaiter sovereignty, which is but a
means Of Promoting free soil. Mr.. buchanan
does net say what hi- Interpretation of the law
is. Mr.. Ca,sbr-Lng, in letter written last De-
cember, said ''As the question now stands
there can be no difficulty in uniting the Demo
cratic party. for the principle of the Nebraska
and Kansas bill-squatter sovereign whatey-
erits origin. gives us every territory belonging
TO the United States" alt appenr,t To
me perfectly absurd for us to he grumbling about
squatter sovereignty at the present time, when
-squatier sovereignty will make free every inch
Of territory now belonging to the United States"
at is certainly not for our interest
now to have that compromise (ths Missouri) line
restored" Let the squattcrs set
tle-but insist that that principle of the Nebras.
ka act shall be honestly carried out" This is
all,very plain Mr.. Buchanan is opposed to the
restoration of the Missouri line-so is Mr. Cam
breling. Mr.. Buchanan wants to SEQ the Kan
sas settlement " inhexibly maintained" Mr.
Cambreling wants To see il &" honestly carried
out" Where is the difference Mr.. Cambre.
ling gives 1t as his belief that the Kansas bin
will make every territory belonging To the United
States free. Mr.. Buchanan does not tell us whit
his beliefs So, rs said in the beginning. i,
is net enoug htior the South to know that a mau
approves the Kansas bill--but she must know
also ON what ground he approves it. Mr.. Buch
anan oanSet escape this demand-nor can th,
Cincinnati Convention dodge the necessity o,
constituting that law and saying whether or no
it does establish squaiter sovereignty. No gen
eral resolution Of approval, such as that adopte,

suffice. The South has its eyes open and canno
be tricked by any two sided platform, as aocep

Nj. Fillmore and the Compromise Of 1850.

As We promised, We republsh. this morning.
from the Virginian, with the editorial remarks
that originally accompanied it, a sketch OF the
speech made by Mr.. Fillmore In Louisville. in
March 1854. No unprejudiced mind will fail to
be impressed with the irankness and sincerity Of
the statements embraced in it. Addressing a
Southern audience, Mr.. Fillmore does not disguise
the early prejudioes against slavery he imbibed
from association and education but he proved by
his conduct as President how little influence
these prejudces had over his mind when be was
called to act under the constitution and for the
whole country. Laying aside every other feel
ing than that Of high and holy sense of duty.
and a religious devotion to tile welfare Of the
Republic, "HE TOOK THE CONSTITUTION AND THE
LAWS AS HIS ONLY GUIDE" In that sleepless
and thoughtful ngla that preceded his assump-
ton Of the solemn responsibilities 10 which no
had been called by an overriding Providence, he
reviewed the whole course of his past life, and
sought to eradicate from his mind every selfish
and sectional feeling. He EspEAvoREp TO
LOOK UPON THIS WHOLE COUNTRY. FROM THE
FARTnEsT coRNER or MAINE TO THE UTMOST

These were the principles and motives which
