Hnnstitntional Union Tarty" of if there is such a party in the State must feel placed in somewhat of an awkward position, when one of the most able papers of that party uses the following language as regards Mr. Bates, who has heretofore been regarded as one of the most prominent men before the Baltimore Convention, for the Tresidency. The Louisville Journal, speaking of Mr. Eates' recent letter to the Chicago delegates of Missouri, says as follows: "If the main points of the letter of this gentleman to the Chicago delegation of Missouri are correctly presented by the Ulegraph, as we presume they are, be has deliberately and formally subscribed to every article in the Republican creed. Say, he has not merely subscribed to the entire Republican platform, but he has subscribed to it in the peculiar Republican spirit. "He is opposed to the extension ef slavery," says the telegraph, "and in his opinion the spirit asd folict or thk GovI.R5MEXT ought fo be against its extension." This covers the wholo Republican ground, it settles the position of Mr. Bates decisively. He is a Republican and nothing else. lie is just as good or bad a Republican as Sevrard or Chase or Lincoln is. He is a Republican pure and simple. As such, of course the Constitutional Union men of the South will scorn to touch him. Hebas by a sinle blow severed every tie of confidence or of sympathy which connected him with the Southern Conservatives." The principal objection to Mr. Bates on part of the editor of the Journal seems to be, that "He is opposed to lie extension of slavery," and that " A opinion the spirit nd foliey tf the Government ought to le gnt Us extension." If the Constitutional Union party, as a - party, is in favor of the extension of slavery, and thinks that the policy of the Government ought noi to be against it, then, in our deliberate opinion, that party will find bui few sympathizers io any State 'north of Mason & Dixon's lice. If this declaration of opinions on part of Mr. Bates drives, at one "single blow," all Southern conservatives from him, it will have a like tendency in driving from the nominee ol the Baltimore Convention all Northern conservative. If Southern conservatism consists in extending slavery into the Ter ritories, then Northern conservative men must unite with that party who oppose this extension, and who are most likely to sue ceed in their efforts. We feel profoundly ' obliged to the editor of the Louisville Journal for this avowal of what it Southern Conservatism. If he speaks the senti ments of the Southern American faction, the Baltimore Convention, amid all of its Fourth of Jnly patriotism, will lay down a slavery extension pb.tform, and place a slavery extension conservative on it What a candidate for a national patriot to sop port! The Journal further says : "Looking to the antecedents of Mr. Bates, these liberal-minded gentlemen of the south had a right to suppose that he, like bis professed exemplar the illustnoos Clay, no matter what his private views mi "ht be, reckoned total impartiality or complete neutrality touching tbe extension r'noo extension of slavery as the most xolomn duty of the Government in this relation. They were firmly warranted, under the circumstances, in believing that Mr. Bales, whatever might be his opinion of Slavery in the abstract, would, as a conscientious practical statesman, insist on the broad and equal and npright discharge of the trust eonfided to the Government by tbe organic law of the nation. They were entirely justified id entertaining the belief that Mr. Bäte, like Mr. Clay, would recogsize the great principles of justice and of comity as sacredly binding on the statesmen of the Union, and would regard the abolition of slavery io the District of Co loanbia and the exelusioo of slavery from tbe common Territories as equally io violation of the national trust, if nolhins; f raver. This belief, however, Mr. Bates as now thoroughly dissipated; and with ' it, we conclude unhesitatingly, he has dissipated -not less thoroughly all the hope of Southern countenance and support thai the mot ardent of his well-wishers ever ven lured to cherish io his behalf. p

We suppose that the editor of the Jour

nai intends oy wis very ,500a wrumg. 10 convey the impression, that Mr. Clay was not opposed to the extent ion of slavery! 1 into the publie territories, aid would, were he living, regard its exclusion therefrom, as in violation of national faith. It is fair to auppose, that the biographer of the Orcat Commoner, Is fami'iar with the doe-1 triues entertained by him, but if wc hare I read Mr. CI ay 'a speeches right, we think the editorof the Journal, in this particular, I ha mistaken the views entertained, and expressed by Mr. Clay cn more occasions I than one. I In reply to Mr. Davis of Mississippi who favored the extension of slavery, Mr. Clay in 1850 spoke aa follows : I am extremely eonr to hear the Senator from Mississippi say that he requires, promise line to the Pacific, and. also, that be is not satisfied with that, but requires, 50 v A r I Ka V . a, a. a.

This every one will acknowledge as religiously, philosophically and morally correct. There is no excuse for women being ugly, but it is a terrible misfortune. TL ere is not as much said here about Mr. Bates, as we had expected to hear. lie seems to be popular with all classes aud his most bitter partisan enemies can say not one word against his ability as a statesman, or his purity as a private citizen. Indeed he seems to be a model man in all the varied walks of life. It is thought by his friends here, that if nominated by the Chicago Convention, he will carry this State.

St, Louis is eminently a "Free State" city. No roan could be arrested and abused for speaking his sentiments here.

This rule, more fully carried out under the administration of Jackson than at any pre vious time, has since been subscribed to and adopted as a principle of justiee aad equity. The sovereign people are to choose from those willing to accept office having due regard to the Jeffersonian requisition, honesty and capability who shall lerve them Especially does this hold good in offices sought after for the emoluments which they afford. Much might, but little need be said to enforce on the common mind tbe equity ol this democratic principle.
