It would -seem, by the f llowing extract from the New York Tribune, that many leading Wh'gs are yet hoping for eucb a chango in public feeling that they can triumph antly elect Mr. Ciay. "A spontoneous am irresistable cali" of his party may, indeed, be made on "the Man," wiihin the next Ihree years: bilt we 6ha)l not expect to see it; no shall we believe hia election possible till we eee it consummated. "The Nkxt Presídent. - We begin to hear from various qnarters notes of preparation for the next presidenlial Campaign. Onr report states that a pnper is to be start d in Washington to advocate the claims of Hon John M'Lean to the Presidency. We hope not, for Jiidgo M'Lean's eake. Such a movement at this time wonld be preliy certain to kill him. The Whigs whose opiuione on this puhj'Ctare known to us are nniversally averse to any Prcfidential ogitntion at tfiis time. They cannot help cherishing a secre hut glnddening hope that, before three yenrs will have elapsed, a spontareous and irresist ble cali will be made on the Man in wlion the Whigs of the No'th and the South, the Easl and the West, repose implicit confidence and whom they regard wilh an afFection onlj not idolatro?, to take the 6lalion of Chief Executive of the American People. Bul they do not name him as a esndidate for President - they will not give him an opportunity to decline, nor will they subjoct him to the chances of a Presidential cariva6s. They wil! not sk the use of hip name unless thero be such a unanimity and earnestness of desire as to banish all doubt of the result. Tney cherish, ae we have soid, but a hope that such a desire will be cvinced; they only as-k to be excused, for the present, from any consideration of the claims of apirants fo thR Presic'pncy; and, in the present state of Whig feeling, any such discusión can hardly fail to projudice the interest of the Slatesman vvhose name may be thrust before them. - They cherisli pence, nnd il will not be well for those who invado it.''{L"? The Western Citizen says that some sixty Liberty votes were given at a recent election in Henry County, lowa. Thus the Liberty principies have crossed the Mississippi, and are hemming in the accursed instilution of sla very on every side. Wherever the Slaveholders turn heir eyes, (save only on their beloved Texas) they are met by the indignant Vowns of the surroundingworld. 01 The statement we gave last week, relativo to the murder at Dexter, we beieve embraces all the material faets in he case. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that the deceased carne to his death y means of a gun feloniously discharged by Keeves. Theexamination has not yet jeen concluded, but Reeves, Young and acobus, the individúala implicatcd in aternpting to destroy the diim, are in cusody.
