The presidential questi*** 6m, of litfe, assumed a very different a?pect from tl/irt which it Wore at the termination of the first (l"**)! session of the last Congress. At the clone of thur session, there were four distinct parties, vii. : the Northern ultras, the Southern ultras, the Northern cmpromlse men, and the Southern compromise mm, or the riKite rod ox. The respective position* of these parties were such as would naturally bring the moderate men of the North in close contact with the moderate men of the South. Thy sectional organisation, (for it wan sectional, inasmuch as democrats and whig* were, in the above classification, merely ranked in regtrd to their re lation to the compromise between the South and the North,) threatened, for awhile, to become per manent, and to lend, in the cud, to a fusiou of par ties ? the moderate compromise men occupying orte side, and the opponent* of the compromise, or the extremists, occujiying the other. The aduiiuist ra tion, with Mr. Webster at its head, naturally led off in the organization of one party, while the task of organizing the other, devolved on William 11. Sew ard in the North, and on Khctt, Jeff. Davis, or some other ultra nullifler, in the South. The mo derate or compromise men were mode it enough to assume for themselves the title of "Union" men, 1 from which, as a corollary, the people are to Infer that those opposed to them were, to all intents and pur]?>ses, and without distinction of caste or color, " lHs union ists." The plan was tolera- : bly well conceived i but the distinction was based on u falsnm. While there are, no doubt, I free soil agitator* in the North, whose course, if not rebuked and cheeked, must naturally lend to 1 disunion, many of these are yet silly enough to be- | lieu t(jat such a catastrophe maybe avoided by i brute force: while rnaiy of the professed agitators > of the South norer presented the dissolution of the I'nion but as the last dire alternative, iu ease there ' is no other means left to theiu to protect their lives | and their property from the crucl ami reckless tana- . tici.-m of Northern madmen. There was, co;ise- i quentlv, a dualism from the start in the unnatural and wicked union of the Northern and Southern ultras ? a duulkMii which might act as a unit iu re gard to a particular measure, such as the compro mise, but which was utterly unavailable, and never seriously thought of by the party itself, in regard to the approucning presidential election. It was nevertheless attempted to get the start on them, and to condemn them in advance, as tlisu iiionists and outlaws, against whom it became the ' duty of the people to barricade themselves as best thty could. A great I'nion movement, therefore, wa.s resolved upon, and came ury near succeeding, . w hen the thing leaked out and was at once blown to i the winds of hcaveu Generals Houston, Husk, Gen. Foote, and Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, had already signed "the document," but the good sense and foresight as well a> the devotiou and tol.> ? ancc of General (.'ass, resisted the movement; and , the declaration of Mr. 1 )ouglas, of Illinois, that if every democratic Senator and member were to sign tl>e document, be (Douglas) should not append bis iin ine tc it, ga\c it forever the death blow. Several Senator* aid members, among whom ' were Sain Houston and others, withdrew their names from the |?i|>cr, and otherf followed their i example, till it was clear that the whole was a lla<h iu the pan, and that the Union movement, com menced with so much success in Georgia, wa<, after all, nothing but a humbug. Now inarl;;! do not mean t lint the Union finding, the affection ami devotion to the Union, are a hum- , bug; I merely wish to state that the attempt to ! make a hobby of t4. for the |iurpo?e of smuggling j an old hack into tie {'residency, was a humbug: ni;d that it was no sooner started, than the humbug waa Uis? overed and exposed. Mr. Foote was in- ' veigbd into it by the generosity and truthfulness of bis nature; but, in general, the bone mid sinew of the democracy kept clear of it, suspecting that the leader* of the movement had no very disinte rested purpose In view. What led to the diseavcry of the plot was, that 1 in all the presidential combination* talked of by Untoo_men jxr se, the candidate for the presidency vas a" whig, the democrats being never permitted to furnish more than a lorum true**. Thus there were the following tickets: ? F<> r \\? l*> rxulnu i/. F<>r the Vitf- Pre*Urnnf. Henry CliT, I'auiel 8. Dickinson, l'nniel WoMter, Henry S. Foot#, Millard Fillmore. 1 lowel Cobb.

H cn the old difficult iea between the Union and S< ward whigp would have been amicably adjuateil. n i < I the dcnior iary micht have looked on in muaae- < incut, wondering lit it* own credulity. I nfoitu niitcly, however, the l'nion whiga fell out among th< maclvca, nf all whiga are bound to do, when left to themaelve* ; mid the affinity Iwtween th'- differ ent faction* of the democrat i<: party, aided by the rher ami harbor bill, led the w;iy to the reorganisa tion of the democratic party on a MUM plat foim.

Tke Lati: Isaac IIill, of New HA*r?iiiaK. ? The Concord, N.H., Put rial, (which Mr. Hill edit ed for twenty years, up to 1KB,) of the 27th inst., furnishes a few particulars respecting his life, in ad dition to our sketch of his life and times, which is more full than t lint of any other paper. Mr. Hill was born in tliat part of the town of Cambridge, Massachusetts, now included in Simer ville, on the tith of April, 17>W; consequently, his nge was nearly sixty-three years at the time of his death. His father removed to Asliburulmm when Hill tins ten years of nge, nud he worked on a farm four years, and served seven years apprenticeship with Joseph Cashing, Ksq., (now of Baltimore,) in i the printing office of the Anihri st Calmut. In April, 1H?M, when he was twenty-one years of nge, Hill I urcbaecd the American Patent, which had been published*! Concord, by William lloit, six months, i Hill hu<I the advice, in the purchase, of some of his republic an friends, and changed the iuiiue to that of lite Alt r HamjuJ.irt Putritt. While editing and publishing the Patriot, Mr. Hill nas chosen Clerk of the State Senate, once a rc| ri tentative from the town of Concord, and was four times elected to the State Senate, the first time in 1H20. lie was nu unsuccessful candidate for 1". S. Senator, iu 1^2s ; the Adams party listing a majority in the legislature, elected ex-< loveruor Snninel Bell. Mr. Hill wa?, however, eliose.i to 1 the Vnited States Senate, as we have stated, iu IKil, previous to which he had bes-u apjiotntcd by General Jackson Second Comptroller o( the Trea sury, in Match, IKW, and held the nffi intil 1 April, 1K-.II, when be was rejected by the Senate. In 1 ?*?*?, Mr. Hill disposed of his interest iu the Pijint to Mr. Barton and his brother, Mr. Horatio Hill, after ? ai ds of I he firm of Cooley, Keese ti I till, husk auctioneers, of this city, mid now a resident in California, Initio, Isaac Hill established //?//"?

Mr. Hill also | ubli-lnd the fbi utc. \t Monthly I , an apiii ultural piper, for some ten tears. The fuutiai of Mr. Hill took place at Coneord on the 27th ult., his remains having been removed fr? in Wushit'gton to hi- home in New llanipshire. \\ i mat add to the political life of Mr. Hill, tiiat he set tbe l .til in motion which destroyed the | .rt I ??.l States B?i:k, the war of the JsekiM administration u| on I hit! institution hating been first instituted by linn.
