Mr.. M said that they had ecclesiastical prece

had been for nearly three years unable TO agree
on the choice OF a successor, and were on the
point OF breaking up, when the magistrates OF

I@- We give place to the following gem
which will speak for itself:
My DEAR MAGGIE CHANGED to repeat a
few lines to your father, which he asked me
to put upon paper, in the hope that they
may interest you, from whom song of sorrow
never fails to extract tear. A lovely girl re
Gently died in Georgetown, and as she expired
exclaimed, with smile" Beautiful Garden,
supposing that she saw, in her last dream or
earth, "a Lily of the Valley" threw off the
IMPRoMPTU, WHICH DEDICATE TO you.
In that garden of beauty" you find,
Mid the bloom Of thousand flowers,
A sweet lily, kissed by the wind,
Of Eden's heavenly bowers.
Transported 10 regions on high,
Far-far, above earthly control,
You smild, as you breaihd your last sigh,
You sato pietur'd, yonr ot0n spotless soal,

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.

Mr.. Overton's Death.

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.
