Political Mrw Youx.—There seems to be quite a change Inthe feelings of s portion of the whig press of this State, since the delivery of the speech of Senator Fish, on the 4th inst. It will be recollected that in ‘ttiat speech Senator F. placed himeelf unreservedly and distinctly on the platform of the administration of Mr. Fillmore, and avowed his determination to sustain its polioy without qualification. These expressions brought down the disapprobation of a part of the free soil whig press, and especially that ofthe Buffalo Express, one of the most prominent whig papers in the western part of the State. That journal says, if it had been supposed that Governor Fish stood on the ground which is ascribed in his speech, ho would have been defeated by a majority a8 decisive as that which clected him. Thus has arisen @ discord in the ranks of the whig party, which may possibly have a tendency to cloud the probability of its success at the next election. Aly the whig papers of the State which coincide with ‘the views of Senator Seward, before the nomination ofGen. Scott by the whig conventions of Pennsyl- vania and Ohio, had pledged themselves to his sup- port, though there has been but little said on the subject since those movements took place. There seome an evident disposition, on the part of the free soil whig press, to say-as little about the Presiden- tial question as possible, from the fact that the Congressional election is one of equal im- portance, as it affects more directly the issue to be made upon the question of the repea) or essential modification of the Fugitive Sleve law. ‘There is no doubt but the free soil whig party a large majority in the State, and, unless there is a consolidation of the discordant factions of the de- mocratic party, will carry the State by an over- whelming vote in the Congressional campaign. The most bittor antipathy is manifested against the administrationw! } wepystherAibany Lve- ning Jowrnal, and that, being the gn er of the whi ty in the State, isafair index of the views of the whole. Of the whole whig press, but smal! portion stands upon a conservative ground. ‘The Buflalo Commercial Advertiser—:he steady and firm friend of Mr. Fillmore and his administra- tion— endorses, in highly complimentary terms, the views of the speech of Senator Fish, and says it do sires to see no more firm devotion to the constitu- tion and the laws of the federal government than are there inculeated. What be the result of the endorsement of the speech of Senator Fish— who was elected as the opponent of the Fugitive Slave law—by the conservative organs of the party, yemaing to be seen. It cannot, however, have any bearing on the Presidential question, as it is not at all probable that the friends of Mr. Fillmore will come into the support of a candidate whose views and nomination are endorsed by the party at whose head stands Senator Seward. Pennsyivania.—The contest for the supremacy at the approaching election in this State is easnest- ly pursued by the two parties in the State. ‘She | question at issue is the maintenance of the compro- | mise of the last Congress. Governor Johnstoa, the | eandidate of the whig party, is an avowed opponent of the Fugitive Slave law, and his refasal to sans- tion a resoluticn of the legislature approving that law, is used by his opponents as a powerful ar, ment against hiselection. With the democratic | party Colonel Bigler is the head and front, standing | upon the platform of the compromise measures, and of the Baltimore Convention. The democratic par- ty is united, and will make a powerful effort to take the State from the whig party. The whig party will suffer some from the desertion of the native American portion of the party, which is considera- ble, especially in the city of Philadelphia Dis satisfied with the nomination of General Seott for the Presidency by the whig convention, the native Americans held’ a State Convention at Harris- burg, on the 22d inst., and presented a ticket for their own support.” This party, it is well known, is favorable to the re-nomination of Mr. Fillmore, and its disaffection will materially interfere with the | success of Governor Jobnston. he | convention, which resulted in the defeat of the chief | object of the calling of the convention, vi The organization of the party—was the work of offi- cial recipients, whose object is self-gain. Tho | dividing of the forces, as published yesterday, | will only bri out the whole party in opposi- | tion to Gen. Foott, except that portion under official patronage. Had the whigs acted with dis- eretion, the whole party might have been brought _ to the support of their ticket. The Puiladelpnia | North American, the organ of Governor J., ani the | first to bring forward the name of General et, | by its endorsement of the proceedings of the Clay- ton dimner at Wilmington, Delaware, in the fall of 1860, battles earnestly for the success of its gubcr- jidate, but has one word to say in behalf of General Scott. The Pennsylvanian, a journal which has always occupied a conservative ‘stand, speaks confidently of the succes of the demo- cratic party. Though there was no direct expres sion in his favor by the Democratic Convention, Mr. Buchanan is, without doubt, the choice of a large majority of his party, for the nomination to the Presidency by the nativnal couvention, as may be seen by the fact that bi yocates received near- ly, if not quite all the nominations for Socal oiliees by the late State Convention. ‘inere is a mach stronger feeling in favor of General Scott among the whigé of (he western portion of the State, and « convention bas been held at Pittsbarg to give ex- pression to that feeling. Kentucky.—It is a long time since the politica; feeling ran so high in Kentucky as at the preseut time, and personal reflections upon the candidates, by their opponents, are of common occurrence. The democratic party, through their organs, are more favorable to-the cause of the South; and its princi- pal organ, the Louiswille Democrat, denounces the whole whig party as the abolition party of the | State. Archibald Dixon, the whig eandidate for «sovernor, has said, in several of his speeches, that no action of Congress, however oppressive upon the slave States, would be suflicient ennse for that #e to seek a disruption of the Union. Ove of the stro eet arguments ured against the election of Mr. Dixon, by his opponents, is contained in the fact that b sefused to go intoa meeting, immediately after adjournment of the constitutional convention, t express approbation of the compromise ineasures There is a stvong emancipation and colonization feeling in the wing par y of the State, at the hel of which stand some of the principal whigs of the State, among whom is Hon ry Clay. Cassius M. Clay is a candidate for G m that ground and will undoubtedly di party. The democrats cere in the State electio 3 xp » and their ’ us W. Powell, is a man of considerable por- t as, there y.

Mr Cobb, ina late speech at Columbus, avowed tha when a State in its sovereign capacity, aud by its regular and coartituted agents, took its course, that the federal government hed no legal or con tional authority to control ench State by force ‘This is what the party called secessionicts hold to, not that it wishes an immediate or prospocti withdrawal of the “tate of Georgia from the Unioa, ut to maintain the abstract right of @ State te secede from ber sister States if the guarantees of the original compact are not carried out in fall force. Buch being the cave, the issue is between | two democrats holding the same views, the one supported by the whig party, and the other sup- ported by the democratic party. Under such cir- eumetances the result is doubtful, though there eens to be a preponderance of feeling in favor of Mr. MeDonald, the nominee of the Southern rights party. Nonmm Canonixa.—The nomination of Gen. Seott by the whig convention of Pennsylvania, has been received with little favor in this State. His views cn the question of the compromise are not | sufficiently known to insure the support of the whig par'y, and the Wilmington Herald, a prot nett whig journal, ssys that no man ean receive the vote of the South who is not unwilling to disturb the amicable adjustment of all the differences of the late Congress. Mr. Fillmore is the choice of nearly every whig paper in the State. The Con gressional canvass is going on, but there is little of sora! popular is & greater pi ve enndidate pete except in Mr. Stanly's district.

This trouble existed since the Presidential election of 1848, when one faction vrrayed itself aqeian the election of General Tasiees and will probably continue until internal dissentions will throw the city of Now Or- Jeans, the strongest hold ofthe whig party, imto the hands of the democrats. There seems to be a pre- ference for Mr. Fillmore generally, though the , in the excitement of local political affairs. A cenveation recently held at Baton Rouge passed resolutions in favor of the compromise measure, and expressed its profer- ‘The nomination of General ia, is looked upon by the whig impolitic. e New Orleans Commercial Bulletin, one of the most promiacas, ani withal discreet, whig pepere of the State, says his nomination by the whig convention of Pennsyl- vonia smacksin every way of sectior » if not of fanuticism; and though nominee is of Southern birth, his associates and the unmistakeable charac- ter of his friends and advocates, are calculated to prejudice the national sentiment against him. He may be untainted by the noxious asso-iations ; but there isno safety for him while he remains amon, those whose contact is pollution. All parties o| the State are favorable to the compromise measures and therefore there can be no issue upon tha, question. t Missresirr1.—An entire change has taken place in the political aspect of this State. In tho open- ing of the campaign, the friends and advocates of General Quitman stood upon the ground of seces-, sion, and that only, as the rallying point. The course of General Quitman has been of the most ultra character; but the convention which nomi- nated him, declared that immediate secession is in- expedient, and the party now stands ou the same basis as that of Georgia—believing aud advocating the abstract right of a State to secede from the Union when the provisions of the compact are violated. Hon. Henry 8. Foote, the candidate of the Union party, is busisy engaged in canvassin the State, but there does not seem to be much probability of his success. This may arise from the fact. that there are very few papers in the State, except those connected with the old whig party, which are rable to Mr. Foote. The action of the convention which nominated Gen. Quitman will have the effect to consolidate the democratic party, which will operate very much against his oppenent. ‘There are many prominent whigs inthe State who will support Gen. Quitman, asiioerece: of them tock part in the convention which nominat- ed him. Henry Gray, late whig candidate for Congress, and T. Jones Thewart, a whig elector, were among its most prominent members. While | Gen. Foote will receive the support of a portion of ue democratic party, it is evident his opponent wiil Tessie a mcrethan counterbalancing vote from the Vermont —The political parties in this State are in rather strange positions. Last winter, a whiz Legislature passed a law in direct opposition to the federal law, for the rendition of fugitive slaves, and the late whig convention adopted a series of resolu- | tions in opposition to the law as passed by the State Legislavure, placing the Barty bs age strict conser- vative ground, and upholding all the measures of the compromise. The free soil convention which assembled on the 23d instant, to supply the place of Mr. Peck, who repudiated his nomination, passed resolutions in direct contravention with the laws of the federal government. In this state of affaira the old democratic is the only party which hangs to- epee though greatly in the minority. Vermont as heretofore been a State always relied on by the whig party, but the resalt at the approachiag elec- tion is involved in doubt, and the election can only tell the result. Model Political Letter. The following excellent letter from the Hon. Dickinson, was read at Laston, Pa., on the ion of the late national anniversary :— _ Binowamrton, June'80, 1851. GentLeMEN :—Your kind and complimentary note of a recent date, inviting me to communicate with 9 ‘on the approaching anpiversary of our National independence, concerning the grave questions which agitate the country, found me too much engaged to receive more than a hasty notice. Bat my vi upon this subject can be givenin a few words, and without cireuity or pretension; although, perhaps, they have been too frequently and freely expressed to excite either attention or interest. I have regarded the ferocious and troasonable agitation which now disturbs our federate relations, from the beginning, as originating in wanton aad unprovoked assaults upon the constitutional rights of the South, founded in pretences as empty and hypocritical as they were pharsaical and brazen. he pompous embassy of neyro philanthropy, which was to force the Southern people into hawt liating and abject compliance, by the despotic ex- ercise of arbitrary power, aud consign their liber- ties to the dungeon, in the name of freedom, was for a time excured as the harmless rantings of igno- rance, bigotry, and fanaticism, bat can be thus ex- cused nolonger.

The country above this (south of it) is filling up rapidly. We have known as mauy | as thirteen families, with their wagons and teams, | carriages, buggies, sulkies, and retinue of servants, | to pass through our town in one day. But this is a | trivial circumstance. Many emigrants us by | in our tri-weekly steamers, and by far the greater | portion of those who emigrate by land leave our | town on their left, or pass on west of us. There is much good land—land unsurpassed in productiveness by any in the United States—still in the market here; and, it has been a matter of surprize to me, much of the best land in the State has been overlooked and under-estimated alike by emigrants and residents. I allude to the swamps on the upper part of the St. John and itslakes. These swamps are as fer- tile as the lands on the Mississippi or the Nile. 1 cannot conceive it possible for land to be richor, agit is a bed of vegetable and animal deposite as far as you can penctrate As the St. John has its origin, not in fountains gushing from moun- tain cliffs, but in the mammoth springs and lakes that abonnd ina plain country, it does not overtiow its banks, like the rivers above mentioned, except in the vicinity of the sea; and there the overflow, when it occurs, is occasioned, not by floods from ebove, but by beating winds driving the ocean beyond her wonted bounds. A very few feet will measure the difference between high and low water marks on the upper St. John; consequently the swamp lands on this river may be secured from inundation, wish comparatively little labor and expense, and as they are clevated above the low water marks, they are very easily drained. Wheu reclaimed, they yield from trey to fifty bushels of Indian corn per acre, with half culture. ‘They are also well adapted to the culti- ion of rice. Cane and cotton grow too rauk to afford a good yield. Our town, you are doubtless aware, is the princi- pal seaport of East Florida, Its trade, within the ast two years, has increased twofold. A tract of some five hundred acres of land, adjoining ourtowa, was offercd for sale last autumn, at $2,000. Within the present year itchanged hands, and brought somo- thing over $4,000. ‘The presen’ proprietor, | learn, is _ about fitting up a bearding hease nearacoid mineral | spring on it, for the accomuiodation of Northern in- valids. We know of ancther tract of three hun- dred acres, about four miles above Palatka, that was sold just one year ago for $400. Kecently $1,000 was offered for it and refused. The present pro- prietors probably would not take less than $3,000 for it; and, in my opinion, they would do a losing business to sell for that sum, as the tract lies | directly on the river, has beautiful building sites, | seers landing, excellent land, and two clusters of hur springs (about six in number), as strong | probedly asany in the United States. With the | expenditure of a few thousand dollars on improve- rents, it might be made to be worth $50,000, I state these facts that your men of capital, who tre desirous of removing to some country where | they can make a profitable investment of their sur- | Tlus funds, may be Jed to consider the advantages afforded by the State of Florida. Here theirfands | may be laid out to great advantage, and here they | may be sure of meeting with due respect, an 1 fin ing assocciates with feclings assimilated to their | Bat | own. Here, too, they may joy the pleasure, every winter, of mingling in social intercourse with those who have frequented the same places ani hiingled inthe same scenes that they have, and | who will thus help to trace afresh, on memory’ | page, the record of the past.
