BUYING OF SLAVES.

We notice that the New York Tribune con.
tinues its advocacy Of the scheme of extinguish.
ing slavery, BY paying for the slaves of such
masters as are willing to sell, out of the Ma.
tional Treasury. /. - NJ
We are as well persuaded that this scheme
will fail to be acceptable to the free States, as
we are that it is founded upon unsound theo.
ries in respect to the institution of slavery.
But it is not upon either Of these points, that
we now propose to dwell.
Without impeaching either the judgment, or
patriotism, Of the Tribune, it is obvious that no
such scheme is consistent with the present
Union of these States. Those Of them who in.
tend to hold on to the system of negro labor,
will never consent to be taxed, to enable others
to get rid of it. Indeed, il is not upon the
theory Of the continued Union of these States,
that the Tribune presses the scheme, but as an
inducement TO certain ones of the Southern
States, and especially Maryland, to separate
from the South and remain with the North
The whole thing contemplates dissolution Of
the Union.

A PRESIDENT FOR SIX YEARS.

In looking over the programme Of constitu.
tional amendments recently proposed by Judge
Douglas, we discover one, enarging the Pres
identiAl term to six years. It is certainly Of.
fered at most inopportune moment.
We are Just 6nishing off with the last Of two
Presidents, both of whom broke down in the
first year Of their respective administrations,
and both Of whom during their last three years
conducted public affairs in perfect defiance of
the popular will. To say nothing of vetoes,
their whole course Of policy upon the Kansas
question in its various phases, was palpably
not upheld by even their own parties. These
facts do not favor an enlargement Of the Pres.
idential term, or incline the people to invest
the Presidential Office with greater power. 1t
is not just after witnessing the insolence Of two
men, who became Indifferent to all remon.
stances, because sheltered by q four years
term, that they will be likely to convert it into
six years term. There are, indeed, interests
and persons who would be pleased with the
change. All such as are conscious Of want
of capacity to command popular support, must
see that the chance of favor from an Executive
power made independent of public control, is
valuable. And it is, doubtless, to conciliate
those interests and those persons, that this
amendment of Judge Douglas is proposed.
In another respect, it is most inopportune.
We are now just in the very midst Of struggle,
the git of which is the unwillingness of a de-
feated political interest to submit to the loss
of the Presidency. 1t is, of course, obvious,
that the ferceness of the contest for that prize,
and the danger of violent resistance to the con;
stitutonal results of it, will be augmented pre-
cisely as the magnitude of the prize is aug
mented. While it is yet doubtful if we can bear
the strain of decision upon contest for
Presidency of four years, it is a most strange
proposition to aggravate the strain by extend
ing the Presidency to six years. If Judge
Douglas had suggested its reduction to two
years, there would have been more sense in it,

The THREATENED ATTACK ON WAsHINGToN.-
The House committee of FIVE have examined
some twelve witnesses, without eliciting any.
thing which is directly to the purpose. General
Scott was before them two hours yesterday.
He said there was abundance of evidence, of a
character to satisfy his mind, that military pre-
cautions were advisable.
That there was purpose formed by certain
politicians to cause the seizure of this capital,
has been avowed by themselves, as, for instance,
by the Richmond Enquirer. That any organi.
zation has been made, to effect this purpose, is
not yet established, and the purpose itself has
probably been suspended, to await results in
Maryland.
