Upon the subject of slavery in the Terri tories, Mr. Van Bureh is silent and myste- rlous. He expresses no opinions and gives no pledges. He remembers his past course and is dumb. When ihe Territory of Mis- souri applied for admission into the Union, he was in favor of forbidding her to hold slaves. He was for imposing on her re- striclion unknown to the other States, de- structive of her legitimate rights, and at war with the Constitution. The heart of the whole South beat wilma tremendous excite- ment, but he needed il not. Civil war and dissolution of the Union seemed impend- ing over our distracted country, but he paused not in his course. He fiercely and heartlcssly persisted to the last in the adyo- cacy of the restriction, looking upon the an- tcipated blood and carnage "with compo- sure" We all know, that the Missouri re- strictionlsts we're then regarded as emphat- cally the enemies of the constitutional rights of the South; and we need not say that they are so regarded still. Upon this subject, we repeat, MT. Y. B.'s letter is si- lent. There is no reason fur supposing that his views are changed. The presump- ton IS, thai, when other Territories shall knock at the door of the Union, he will bid them be gone, unless they consent 10 ob- tain admission by foregoing their constitu- tional rights. If elected to the Presidency, the presumption is, that he will, unless his heart quails before the thunder of public opinion, exert his whole official power against their admission into the Union upon conditions of equality with the States, which now belong to if. His election will be signal to the vast multitudes, who went with him upon the Missouri question, and whose opinions feelings, and passions, remain un- changed, to rouse themselves for other struggles upon other theatres. What will be the consequence7 If upon the applica- ton of Arkansas to become State, the scenes of the Missouri conflict shall be re- newcd upon the floor of Congress, and, if the restrictionisfs shall have the name and the power of the Chief Magistrate on their side, the dissolution of the Union will be as inevitable as the fulfilment of the decrees of Heaven.

 We have not time now to pursue these topics further, but we confidently appeal to all honest men to say, whether there IS any thing in MT. Van Rnren's letter, which proves him fit man to be supported for the Presidency at a lime like the present.

 There is much candor in the following, from the Salem Gazette:

 "Whiie we, at the North, are thanking God that we are not as other men are---s'n- ners and slaveholders-we ought never to forget that in all hunan probability we owe our happy exemption from slavery to the
