S. P. Chase, Liberty candidato for Congres from Ohio, being questioned by the National Reformers, replied, - "It seems to me not less important, to revent small freeholds from being aborbed into large estates, than it is to faïliiate their creation and multiplication. ?o this end it woud be well, I think, to xtend the policy of exemption from liaility for debt, already adopted in relaion to personal property, to real estáte, o far, at least, as to secure to each famiy the undisturbed enjoyment of a home ïonestly possessed. Permit me to add hat l greatly doubt the practicability of effecting nnd permanently establishing hese and kindred reforms, until freedom br all labo re rs, and just wages for all la)or, shall have been seoured by an imartial and resolute application of the funlamental maxims of genuine democracy,- vhich demand equal and exact justice and equal rights for all men - to whatever in our governmen or its instituions, or its action isplainly inconsistent vith them." This result in l!ie Empire State, some may suppose, will, by throwing Mr. Wright aside for the Presidency, bringup our excellent Senator, Gen. Cass. But his we imagine is hardly to be expected. is it is not to be supposed that the South vill acquiesce in such a movemert. The next democratie candidate for the Presilency must, as it wuuld seem, be one vho can command the slave votes of the South, or otherwise be dcfeated, since the wo parties in the free States will never unite in support of the same man. IC present party names and distinctions could be dropped, and instead of Democratie and Whig, the parties be known, and induced to act, as Slavery and AntiSlavery, orsouthern and northern parties, we might then hnve a norlhern President. 3ut of this there is at present no prospect; ói the soulh is daily becoming stroi.ger n slavery, and the north relativelv weaker in freedom. - Monroe Advocate.We see nothing insuperable to hinder the Soulh from " acquiescing " in the nomination of Gen. Cass for President. A real northern doughface mny be as good for their purpose as a Slaveholder. VVeknow of nothing that Gen. Cass has done to incur the displeasure of the Southern masters. He went for Texas and Slavery to the full extent without an objection; and we doubt not will do whatever else they may require. True,he has talkcd rather warlike to Englnnd : but the overseers could curb him to prevent his doirtg any mischief, as they have Polk. The Advocate seems to assume that " our excellent Senator," Mr. Cass, would be so much of a Northern man as to be distasteful to the South. We think well of Gen. Cass personally, but as a representativo of Northern Freemen, wherein has he exhibited even the least desire to vindícate their character and rights from southern aggressions ?(U'The Liberty vote has decreased in Pennsylvania 1,110 votes as compared with the vote forBirney in 1844. - Swn mit Beacon.
