The Presidential Cnmpaign.

The question as to who will be our next
President, is already becoming to be the all
absorbing topic among the leaders of the pO-
litical parties Of the country. The Demo
cratic, or Anti-Lecompton party, the Repub
licans, and the Lecompto=ites, are the three
great parties of the country, and are each
looking forward with the expectation of Sc
curing for themselves q candidate most likely
to win in the great fight of 1860. Seward
is-without doubt the most prominent OF the
Republican candidates, and from the faVor
with which he is looked upon by them' 1t Is
natural to suppose that he or some other one
entertaining similar political opinions, will
be brought forward in the Presidential cam
paign. The opinions of Seward are we'll
kpown-he is recognized as the leader of his
party. and it is for the doctrines enuncated
bv him that the Republicans will fight 1t
will not be for their interest then, to make
any pretensions toward the support Of Popu
lar Sovereignty-bu they will return to
their long cherished opinions, advocating
those doctrines SO much ut variance with the
principles of the old Democratic party.
And now, the question arises as to who
will oppose this party. Will he be an Anti
Lecompton Democrat, or a LecOmptonite
Be it remembered that the Lecomptonites of
the South, (the great body Of the Lecompton
party,) advocate the right of Congressional
interference in the Territories, and that the
Republicans advocate the same thing. Those
who advocate the re-opening Of the slave
trade are Lecomptonites They will come
to the Charleston Convention with their can
didate, and ask that he be nominated. What
will be the answer? The Convention, of
course, will refuse to nominate him-and
what then ? Will the fre-eaters withdraw
and nominate a candidate Of their own2 We
hardly think so, twithstanding it has been
gravely hinted that such would be the case
They must know that no good could possibly
result from such course, but that on the
contrary, its effect would be to bring about
the election of Republican President IN
our opinion, the Charleston Convention will
t-cannot-nominate a straight-out Le-
comptonite. The object Of that Convent
will be, to put forward a man best calculated
to make successful fight against the Repub-
lican party. And such man must be a
sound Union, Popular Sovereignty Democrat
The voice which has been raised against the
present Administration, is sufficient indica-
tion that Buchanan candidate will not be
the most available one to bring out against
the Republican in 1860.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS, were said at Washing

with the President on the 18th August, and

satisfaction. The success attending their ne.

The SLAVE TRADE Law The Mississippian
says that the agitation in favor Of the re-.

political party nor class of citizens, but is
last becoming the popular sentiment of the

Northeri fellow.citizens arm convinced of the
TACT, and make up their miads to aecede to
our just demand, the better for the peace and
