fright Ii that party be the Democratic party,
then the opposition must be. wrong. But the
Opposition is not happy and harmonious
! body. 1t has quarrels that have split it into)
several factions. 1t has the Black Republi-
Rcans, the Northern Know-nothings, and the|
lSouthern Know-nothings. True it is that the,
two former are voting and acting together in|
the organization Of the House, for they agree)
9entirely on the slavery question. Then, so far
las practical purposes are concerned, we may
reduce the parties in the House to three the
Freesoilers, the conservative Wings and Know
5nothings, and the Democrats. Now, one or
the other. of these parties must be right of
course we will not make an argument to satisfy
our readers that the Freesolers are ,oronq-
that we will take for granted As for the con-
sentative Knownothings, but one word is ne1
cessary to show that their course is not right.
True, they refuse to cooperate with the UNI
sound Northern Know.nothngs, but they all
the same time refuse to act with the sound,
conservative Democracy Of the House, to whom
they are vastly inferior in numbers. They
hopelessly keep to themselves and withhold
their support, when such support would secure
in the House sound, conservative, national
organization. Maintaining their neutrality be-
tween the two controlling parties, they prevent
an election, when they and all the interests Of
their constituents would be safe under Demo
cratic organization. These gentlemen have,
of course, the same right to think and act for
themselves that we of the Democratic party
have; but when they are inferior in numbers
TO us-when they cannot possibly, of them
selves, effect an organization-when they ac-
knowledge the soundness Of our party and the
unsoundness of the Freesoil party, and when
some of their organs are busiy engaged in
throwing the blame of the failure to organize
on the Democratic party, we must be allowed
mildly to demonstrate. We think they are
wrong.
There is one party whose course we think is
right, and that is the Democratic party. We
believe that the country thinks so, and we
doubt not that future events will amply vindi-
cate the wisdom and propriety of their course.

DEATH OF WV. M. 0vERToN.-It gives us
deep pain to announce the death Of William M.
Overton, ESQ., some time since connected with
the Washington Union, but recently one Of the
editors Of the Washington Sentinel. He died
yesterday morning, between 6 and o'clock, at
the residence Of bis fatherin-law, Col Robert,
McCandlisb, in Williamsburg. Our lamen,ed
friend has been in declining health for long
time, and his demise was not unexpected. 1t
is, however, most sad 10 witness the premature
departure Of one in the prime Of life. Mr..
0verton was a gentleman Of genial qualities,
Of strong, clear mind and sound judgment,
and a vigorous writer, as was shown by the
many contributions Of his pen to the columns
Of the Enquirer. He was endowed with many
noble virtues, and we sincerely sympathize with
his numerous friends in the heavy loss they
have experienced Richmond Eng. Of ID inst.

From the Louisville Journal, 9TH.
The Hog Trade.

The cool weather on Saturday and Sum
day induced some of our packers TO COM
mence operations, and about 5000 head
were killed during the two days. Yester-
day, owing TO the warmth of the weather,
killing ceased. The houses are all in tipto
condition.
We have no sales to report. The market
in fact continues greatly depressed, owing
mainly to the great strirgency in money mat
ters. The stock Of old pork is immensely
large-much larger than it has ever been at
this time of any preceding year. Fat corn
fed hogs would not brought more than 81
cash yesterday, while some put the price as
low as So rs, net. We understand they are
offered freely in the country at So gross, on
time.
Mast Fed Hogs.--A good many inquiries
have been addressed to our packers in re-
gard 10 the value of mast fed hogs compared
with those corn fed, and we have been re-
quested to state; that hogs from beech mast
are scarcely soleable at all. From beech
and white oak the deduction from the price
of purely corn fed will perhaps be one cent
q Id. And from corn and white oak mix
ed about half cent Ss fb. None but purely
corn fed and well iatted hogs will answer
for barrel pork; and mast Il, for bacon must
be disposed of in cold weather, as the loss
in weight is enormous. Mast fed lard is
saleablc at deduction Of half TO one cent ~
10 from the price of prime lard. AT pres
ent mast fed hogs could not be sold for De-
cenber or January delivery for more than
SO p 100 TBS net.
We shall not indulge in any speculations
as to the future course of the market. There
is one thing, however, very probable, and
that is, that the owners Of pork-houses, who
in former years, entered largely into the
tarde, stand aloof. They are very willing &c
kill and pack hogs, but not on their own &C.
count.
| The Cincinnati Commercial, Of yesterday
says:
| Some lots Of hogs are arriving, but we
/ hear of no sales that would indicate anything
/ There are buyers at 81 net, TO fill contract.
which were made last August for December
delivery, but holders seem unwilling to sci
at less than Sd %, and many Of them hope
and contend for 81 so; whilst, on the other
hand, packers and dealers are not disposed
TO pay over So for any quantity, and sooner
than pay over 50 50, prefer waiting further
developments. There seems TO be but on,
opinion now, in relation 10 the supply of hog
i'll the country, and that is, that it will b'
large.
