Tnv DorerAs FESTIVAL IN WASHINGTON

THE DoueLAs Festival IN WASHINGTON
Hon the People Daneed.-A Washington cor
respondent ofthe Cleveland Plaiadealer, thus
writes in relation to the late festival at the
house of Senator Douglas, at Washington. He
says:
tSThe bachelor members of the corps dipEo-
mati0ve. were well represented by Senior -Ro-
| bles, the Mexican Minister; Senior Molino, Baron
Gerolt and Baron Grabbeaur Prominent
among the elite were Sir William Gore Ouseley
Lady Ouseley, and daughter; Mrs. Governor
Crittenden, the most elegant elderly lady in
Washington; Miss Saunders, the accomplished
and lovely daughter of Mrs. Governor Brown;
Mrs. Senator Gwyn and daughter; Mrs. Berg
and Miss Brown, ofNsw York; Miss Belle Cass,
one of the bright particular stars of the social
circle here; Mrs Senator Pugh, celebrated
beauty; Mrs. Horace F. Clark, of New York
the lovely Miss Neal, of Columbus, who My
Lord Napier says, is one of the handsomest
women in America; Mrs. Greenhowe and daugh
ter, Miss Manly; MisssM oore; Mrs. Madison Cuts
the mother of Mrs. Douglas; Mrs. Charles
L. Scott, and others.
"rlle entertainment consisted Of dancing, eat
| ing, talking and laughing-each ono doing well
their part Tho dancing in Washington is pc
culiaI; as in New York, the Lancier QuadrillcS
are all the CO. tits an English dance, and in
vented by amateurs at the seige of Sabastopol,
and dedicted to the French. There is consider
able bowling init, requiring peculiar kind of
music-otlicrwise it resembles the well.known
Caledonian Quadrille. But the fancy dances,
here arc horrible, there is neither grace nor
gentility in them; the poetry of motion is lost
in the ferocty of action; couple grapple with
each other as if wrestling, and turn and trip,
and trip and turn, like amateur gladiators.-
This is all done in small. ring, formed circular,
like dog fight; the lady, held in close contact
by the gentleman, drops her chin on the gentle
mans bosom, and looks up, because she has
nowhere else to look; the gentleman bends over
in the shape ola half moon, and, ofcourse looks
down. for he has nowhere else tolook; the right
arm of the gent and the left of lady are used as
grapnels, while the other two arms locked at
the fingers, extend at length either at the right
angles or parallel with their bodies, often chan
ging positions, and working up and down, on
the principles of IA pump.handIe. Thus accou-
tered, they slide into the ring, whirl and twirl n
few times, and then slide out, when another
couple take their place. Tho spectators, who
are stad old gentlemen and their wives, porty
middle-aged ladies, minated gentlemen and UNI
learned fancy dancers ofall classes, form ring
around these exhibitions from five to fifty deep.
They stand and stare until the music stops
when the crowd disperses. We saw the French
ladies, composing in part the suite of Count Sar-
tiges, watching with much interest these gyra-
tors, and chattering French necessarily, but did
not dance"

Interview with the President, he informed the
latter of his intention to return to Nicaragua,
and that his letter written in June was publish
ed by the Presidents consent. A day or two
afterwards he mas invited to an interview With
Cabinet Minister, who sought to obtain his
confidence The Minister told him where to go
with safety and where with danger, remarking,
''You viii probably sail in an American vessel,

ed American limits no one can touch you but

Minister said, "If you do this, means shall not
be lacking to carry out the enterprise"

DOUGLAS CALLED UPoN 10 Show ms HAND
The papers North are now, as were and arc the
papers South, calling upon Douglas to show his
hand clearly and Enthusiastically as to his poll.
tics now-a-days From all we can read, we
think the situation of the little Senator is tick
lish and rather embarrassing. The New York
7ri6unes Washington correspondent writes
that
Mr. Douglas has diIly-dallied, and tempered
and palavered about his party position, trying
to make it appear that he was good Demo
crat as ever; and, secretly courting and endea-
voring to conciliate the Republicans at Wash
ingtOn has suffered his friends aud agents in
the North West to attack the Republican party
with even more yirulence than before the re-
suit of which temporising and trimming policy
has been to make the Northern Democrats in.
Congress and among the people look with moro
dread upon secession from their party than upon
acquiescence in the Lecompton iniquity. When
so powerful man as Mr. Douglas shrinks so
sensitively from. the suspicion of unwillingness
to follow the Democratic party wherever it may
choose to go, it is not to be wondered at that
weaker politicians are reluctant to expose them
selves to dangers which appal even the intrepid
Senator from Illinois. With a little more bold
ness AIR. Douglas might command the support
of united North, At present, repeat il, he
is only the chief of beaten faction OF the Dem
ocratic party-of faction that mutters and
murmurS but does not dare to mutiny, though
doomed 10 the fate of baffled mntineers.

Mcssrs. Egitors:-In the editorial column of
your paper to-day, observe an article headed
us above, commenting on the absurdity of a
democratic people, as we undoubtedly are, in
name, evincing so much interests for the SAY
ings" and "dOingS" of our titled" tranSatlan-
tic brethren. But are not the tuft hunting por
ton of our people as eager to record the sayings
of some "Honerable" John - this, or the
doings of the "Honerabe" James - that,
among our own titled classes, as they are of no.
ticing the saying aud doing Of ''My Lord" Ma
pier? 1t is weakness, as you observe, and 1t
is evidently growing upon us rnthcr than dimn-
fishing. Great Britain has its Dukes, Marquises,
EarIS, Viscounts, Barons, BarOnctS, Knights
Right Honorables and HOnorabcs; but the
men in the United States, who are privileged
to preface the ''title" Honorable" to their
names, would probably out number all the
titled men in England, Scotland and Ire
landi How then, can we, with any consistent
cy, affect to depise European titles when
they are so absurd in own conntry?-
Would not our democratic people be more
consistent if they eschewcd this meaningless IT,
tie simply calling men by their christian or sir
namess A title cannot exalt truly great man.
Could it, for instance, add dignity to such names
as William Shakespear or Robert Burns, to
George Washington or Henry Clay? 1t is not,
however, mere afectation in us to pretend to
dispise the titles Iof foreigners so long as we
continue to use aud acknowledge one among
ourselves

young unmarried lady, who on being asked II

ton of her error, that her child was only very
little one. We may say that the title we give
to some of our distinguished countrymen is only
VERY little one" but the principle is the
same whether we use one or ten titles, and if
we need them at all, can see no objection to
an ascending scale. Va.

LOOK Our FOR ANornEK CANrse-It is report
ed that Gov Wise don't like tho Washington
Statue sculptured by Crawford, for the Capitol
at Richmond. He is reported as prononncing
it, in his usual striking, if not always delicate,
way, to be neither 'horse, mule nor jackass. ~
In return for this, the Wing says:
For hours at time, and before the statue
was placed upon the pedestal, did our most lear
ned and tasteful and accomplished Governor
talk, and talk, and talk-ali nonsense about
the defects and dement's of the statue. But
the crowd was about, and he was talking for
Bnncombe. His object was to impress them
with the idea that there VAS no branch ofhuman
knowledge or attainment in which he-Wise-
was not perfectly at home.
But all this is just like his Excellency. He
is the yeriest pretender-tne greatest mounte-
bank-the most ridiculous humbugof the age.

"wnEEp1Nc AND the SourH The Argus
on Monday evening last, had rather a well writ
ten article under this head-but as full of fala-
cy as ever an egg was of meat The central
and absorbing idea was to show that the South
that is, Western Virginia, Kentucky, Ten.
nessee, Alabama, Mississippi, &C." were tho
markets to which Wheeling had of necessity,
and ought from choice, to look TO for her pro.
ducts. Says tho Argus;
Weare not to seek market in Pennsylvania.
We shall soon find none in Ohio A little later
and we shall have been driven from Indiana, H.
linois and the whole North West by rivals near
er tothe consumers. m
And who was telling our neigobor all this,
won't it pray tell US? 1t certainly is news
We are not inclined to go to work to refuto
such bald postulates when they are not invest
ed with rib-nor a muscle-nor yet
vein. or nerve of fact, but are simply the blood
less ipse daeits of the Argus How is it to
come about that we are to be superseded in
the Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois markets, and
our trade transferred TO these other States? We
agree with the argus that Wheeling is the ma
tural cntrepot of manufacture and trade for
vast field of South and South Western country,
but we do not agree with it that there is any
present or manifest future cause for anxiety
account of our Western trade. So long as We
have the raw materialand prominent appliances
of what we pretend to manufacture in greater
and consequently in cheaper abundance than
the West so-long are We secure, and no long
er. We know that We do have these advanta-
ges, now.
But the animus, we think of the argus arti-
Gle is observable in its assertion that all that it
has been saying is
But an incident in that large and sagacious
policy which becomes this city, which will COM
pIetuly identify her with the South, and which
will enable her to realize a noble aspiration for
herself while she will best perform her obvious
and grateful duty.
Wc@ant to ask our neighbor aquestionin good
faith and in good earnest, and that's: whether he
thinks or expects that these portions he desig-
mates as our field of trade will ever patronizc
the manufactures of this city on account of her
politics? Does he believe that those States will
carry on losing trade with us, simply from
their admiration of our soundness on the mig
ger question? Our neighbor certainly does not
believe such stuff. Just so long we are q
source of profit to Indiana or Louisiana, just so
long will they patronize u.s. and not month long

or our votcs-not the slightest.
