If the South is not satisfied with the position
of Douglas, let her fad party North who
will do more. II will not he the Democratic
party. that is certain.-L0uisUiiLe Democrat
Yes, that Is certain; and, for that reason,
among others, the South has no further use
for the Democratic party. II the wretched
aud destructive policy OF quatter-sovereignty
is the most that the Democracy can do or will
do the South is through with the Democracy.
And our neighbour admits with characteristic
coolness that the Democracy will do no more.
The south. on this vital point, has no choice
between Locofocoism and epubl!canism--be-
tween Douglas and Seward. Squattcr-sove-
reignty is neither more nor less acceptable to
the southern people than the Wilmot Proyiso
is. Between the two. the South, in the Ian
guage of Senator Davis, of Mississippi, "can-
not have preference, because she cannot re-
cognize any thing tolerable in either of theu.r
Yet our ncighbor of the Democrat in one
of his fits of Zeal for Douglas, has the hardi-
hood b tell the South outright that it must
submit TO squattertsoyereignty Or renounce
the Democratic party. III the South" he
says, is not satisfied with the position Of
Douglas, 1T her fad n party North who will
do more. The South will take our nighbor
at his word. 1t is certainly in no danger of
finding party even ia the North that will
do less.-Lou. Jour.

Good Man Gone to his Rest.

We learn from Montgomery that the Illness
Of Hon. JAMES E. BELsER heretofore report
ed) terminated fatally at o'clock yesterday
afternoon when he breathed his last This
sad announcement-though it was seriously
apprehended for several days previous-must
have been received with the keenest sorrow
throughout Montgomery. for no man of that
city was more. universally esteemed and
beloved. We do not believe that he bad a
personal enemy, and many indeed were the
friends he had warmly attached to himself by
his life of peace and charity-by his unselfi-h
devotion to the public welfare, and the noble
beRevolence and disinterestedness of his
heart and hand,
Mr.. Belser's first attack in the courthouse
resembled cramp collie. but the disease de-
yeloped itself as pneumonia, under which,
with occasional symptoms that gave delu-
sive hope Of improvement, he sank until the
hour of his death on Sunday afternoon Long
will his memorybe cherished in the community
which he loved aud served so well.-C0tunsbus

A HAY-FIELD ANECDoTE.-Al old gentle
man who was always Dragging how folks
used to work in his young days, one time
challenged his two sons to pitch on load of
bay as fast as he could load it.
The challenge was accept and the hay
wagon driven round aud the trial commenced.
For sometime the old man held his own very
credibly calling out, tauntngly, More hay !!
more hay y
Thicker and faster il came. The old man
was nearly covered; still he kept crying,
''Mory hay more hay ~ until struggling to
keep on the top Of the disordered and ILL
arranged heap. il began first To roll, then to
slide. aud at last of il went from the wagon,
and the old man with it.
What are you down here for - cried the
boys.
Il come down after hay" answered the old
man. stuutly.
Which was n literal fact. He had come
down after the wagon load. which had to be
pitched on again rather more deliberately.

From the Troy Times, January al

Mr.. John La Mountain. the aeronaut, is
again in this city, whore he will remain few
days. He has made arrangements for the
construction in Boston of a balloon with
which he designs to make an attempt to cross
the Atlantic next summer. The money is to
be furnished by wealthy gentleman Of the
modern Athens who has sufficient confidence
in the practicability of the scheme to make a
venture in it.
The balloon is to he of silk, with an ascen-
sive power which viii make it capable of
carrying a lifc-boat stocked with provisions
and four passengers. The power il is designed
to employ is the gun-cottoH engine-One Of
which, owned by a gentleman of Springf Id.
Mass has been tested, and found To Op rate
satisfactorily. Before the venture OF sailing
over the ocean, il is designed to make three
long voyages, starting from western cities.
for the purpose of testing the capacity of the
balloon, aud he effect of the employment of
machinery. Mr.. Wise, the father Of balloon
ing in America" who has been in consulia-
ton with Mr.. La Mountain. approves of his
plan in all its details, and will give him the
benefit of his remarkable experience in sug-
gestions as TO the manner of carrying it ont

males. Those votors elect the members of the
Legislature who, and not the voters, exercise
the sovereign power of making laws. The.
voters elect judges and sherifs, who, and not
the voters. exercise the sovereign-power of
executing the hws-of trying and hanging
some of the sovereign people, occasionally,
and of sending great numbers OF them to the
Penitentiary. The sovereign power thus ex-
ercised by the different departments of the
government, within its sphere, is as absolute
in its character and calls for. and ,ciH hare. as
implicit obedience as the sovereign power OF
the Gar, and to it the people are as much sub
jeca, as are the Russian people to the despotic
authority of their Emperor. And this is es-
sential TO the preservation and enjoyment Of
our nights and liberties !; for what would life
and property. and personal rights be worth
among us without an absolute executive
sovereignty, always existing and never in
obeyance. to execute the laws passed by the
legislative sovereignty, and to punish their
infraction!
But though, under our form of Govern
ment, the people are not sovereigns, and
neither possess nor can exercise the sovereign
power Of making laws.-by the right they
possess to elect the persons who do make the
laws. they, the people, possess moral influence
over the acts Of the law-making body which
enables them to shape and mould the
entire legislation of the country, when
ever they see proper to exert that moral
influence to lis fullest extent And this is
right and proper. For in a representative
government, the representative body ought, as
a mirror, to reflect the feelings, opinions, and
wishes ofthe elective body-the people-when-
ever those opinions and wishes are clearly
and distinctly understood and ascertained. In
case the representative body. OF any portion
Of them, should pursue a course contrary to
the wishes OF the elective body, the latter
have a remedy in the recurring elections, at
short intervals, when they can elect other re-
representatives. whose opinions they know fully
to conform with their own
Possessing this ail-poten; moral influence over
the acts Of their representatives. and thepow-
er to change, if they like, those representa-
tiver, or any number Of them. once in every
two years, the people Of this country should be
the last people in the word to usurp and ex-
crcise. under any possible exigency, any por-
ton of the sovereign power. which belongs
to the legislative, the executive and Judicial
departments Of the Government-State or
Federal. They possess abundant power to
cause, through the legal and constitutional
channels. the passage Of such laws as they
like, and the repeal Of such laws as they do
not like. The people, the free people of this
country we say. possess this great power
and possessing it, they sin against our free
institutions, they sin against the cause of we'll

the world. and they sin against dlemseIOes,
