Taking sides.

The Louisville Democrat takes sides with
Mr.. DoCuLAs, in his quarrel with the South
ern Democratic Senators, and quotes from a
. ,eech delivered by the Hon. ALEXANDER II.
STEPHENS, OF Georgia, in the House of
Representatives, in January, 1856, in con
firmation OF the Douglas doctrine. That
doctrine it says, was 1.-The doctrine of the
Democratic party all through rhe exciting
contests of 1859, "a, and &C." 1t goes on to
say:
1--WE have very different doctrine preach
ed now by some Democrats. II will not do
tor the South now TO stand for the doctrine OF
non-intervention. Congress must legislate
TO protect slavery. if the people of Terri
test of fidelity to the SOuth; and in the party
1t is to be a substitute for nOn-interveition.
We can only say TO these men: they can
change front if they choose; but let them
first confess that they have left their party on
this point. Some of them think the SOnth
was rather taken in by the legislation of 1850
and "a, and they should now back out. II
that be so. the South should send men to
Congress who are not so easily cheated.
Really, it seems 10 us these Southern men
are talking for Buncombe. or they are stark
MIDI
Senator'S MASON and HUNTER of Virginia,
DAVIS and Brown, of Mississippi, CLAY, OF
: Alabama, and BENJAMIN, of Louisiana, either
talking BuncOmbe" or "stark mad!" When
Southern Democratic journals talk that way
about the elite of the Democratic leaders of
the South, it is a sure sign that Democracy
is in the last stage of a mortal malady.

Virginia State Elections.

The Opposition in Virginia are in higl
spirits. Their candidate for Governor, VIM
Il. GoGGN. in a private business letter, writ
ten few days ago, to a gentleman in Rich
mOnd, stated he would soon take the field
and that he felt confident Of success. Tb,
New York Herald that staunch and most in
fiuential supporter of Mr.. BUcuANAN's Ad
ministration, speaking of GOGGIN's prospect.
says:
- There is every prospect of his success
The advantages are all on his side In 1885,
the Democracy had the powerful advocacy Of
It's chief. while the Opposition had no such as-
sistance; now the advocacy will he equally
strong on each side. In 1855 the Demt cracy
were united in Virginia; now it is divided into
two factionS-the Hunter men on one side and
the Wise men on the other-and both. for
some cause or other. cool TO the President
which viii have the effect of driving into the
ranks OF the Opposition many Of his friends
those who support his administration on
national and constitutional grounds. Bv
their divisions and discOrds these two fac
lions will powerfully strengthen the hands OF
the Opposition and contribute to the defeat
OF the Democratic candidate. The disunion
and divisions of the Democracy in other
States. its general decentralization everywhere.
the breaking up of old parties and the forma-
tion OF new combinatiOns-in short, all the
political events which have occurred during
the last two years, and all the political
transactions that are now taking place
throughout the country, will assist in produc-
ing the defeat OF the Virginia Democracy on
the 2Gth of May
The effect OF this disaster will be imme-
diateiy felt on the coming campaign of 1860.
a new Presidential party will start into ex-
istence, as il by the touch of a magician s
wand. The dragons teeth now being sown
will suddenly spring up armed men. This
party VIII consist Of discOntentcd, disaffected
Democrats, whose name is legion, and of i'm
menfe numbers who nOminally belong to the
pro-slavery and anti-slavery parties. but who
are utter y Disguised with the violent, uncon-
stItutlonal and dangerous extremes to which
the leaders of these parties are pushing mat
ters, and would gladly find any decent ban
ner under which TO enlist rather than remain
where they are. Then there is besides host
oil moderate men who are not known by any
party designation, but who are ready to vote
for the man who stands on some sound prac-
teal basIs-these will join the new constitu-
tional Union party, which will, in fact. large
ly absorb all other elements, but particularly
Democrats and Republicans, whose ranks will
DC swept away by the sold phalanx OF the
new party like chaif before the whirlwind or
the grass of the prairie by the devouring
fames.n

Great Sale of Negroes.

The public sale of Pierce Buffers negroes
was concluded yesterday, at the Ten Brock
Race Course, by JOS. Bryan, Esq. The lot
composed 436 negroes, mostly in families,
ranging from two to eight in family, to the
highest bidder, for one third cash, the remain
der of the purchase money in two equal an
nual instalments, bearing interest from day
of sale, with approved acceptances on Savan-
nah or Charleston.
Four hundred and thirty-six Of the negroes
were sold at public sale on Wednesday and
yesterday, for the sum of $500, POS, being an
average of little over SIG head. The
balance OF the lot. seventeen in number, were
disposed of at private sale, at prices not re-
ported. OF the 436 negroes, l26 were under
ten years of age, 1872 were over ten and
under thirty-one, IS over thirty and under
fifty. aud 40 over fifty years of age. Among
them are o number of infants, and several
ctipples and superannuated. The young ne
groes are of the best class of plantation
hands.
The sale was largely attended by gentle
men from different portions OF our own State
and from South Carolina.-SIUa,Udh Meas.

Another steamboat Disaster.

The steamer Monongahela Bell, Heretofore
running n packet on White river, between
Jacksonport aud the mouth, but at the time
Ell route for this port, was sunk about II
O'Clock on Wednesday night at Harbett's
Landing, about eight miles below here. We
have few particulars OF the disaster. yet from
all that we can learn it would seem that the
Belle struck log, which stove a hole in her
hull and caused her to sink almost immed-
ately. She lies tied up TO the shore on the
Mississippi side, with nothing above water but
a portion of her hurricane deck. and the pilot
house. No lives are supposed to have been
lost by the occurrence, and the St Francis
No. 2, which passed the wreck shortly after,
took off nearly all her crew aud brought
them TO this city. The Belle being an old
boat, it is thought that, unless the water
should speedily subside, she will go To pieces
from the action OF the current, aud thus, with
her cargo, prove a total loss We shall
doubtless have reliable information in time
for cur next issue.-As'apkIs Bulietfn, 5th.

The following exquisite lines from the At
lantic Monthly for February, are by Mrs.
WARD HOWE, the author of :. Passion Flow
ers " and 1.-The Worlds own" Their sub
ject is EDWIN BooTm:
We set before the row of evening lamps,
Each IN his chair,
Forgetful of November dusks and damps,
And wntry air.
little gulf Of music intervenes, fE u =
bridge Of sighs
Where still the cunning Of The curtain screens
Arts paradise
Ny thought transcends those viols shriI delight,
q The booming bass, "
And towards the regions We shall view to night
Makes hur led pace;
The painted castle, and unneedcd guard
That ready stand;
The harmless Ghost tn Il walks with helm unbarred
And beckoning hand.
And, beautiful as dreams of maidenhood
That doubt defy,
Young Hamlet, with his forehead grief subdued,
And viSOning eye
fair dead world that frcm Thy grave awakst
AMI in our heart strange revolution mak'st
With thy brief smile
o beauties vanished, fair lips magical,
Hero braves
o mighty hearts, that held tire world in thralI
Come from your graves
The Poet you through a mist of tears
such depths divine
Him with the love and passion Of his years,
From you, inside
The poets heart attend your buskined feet,
Your lofty strains,
Till earth s rude touch dssoives that madness sweet
And life remains;
Life that is something while the senses heed
The spirits call,
Life that is nothing when our grOsser need
Engufs it all.
And thou. young hero of this mimic scerc,
In whose high breast
genius greater than thy life hath been
Strangely comprestf
lis with no fegned power thou bind'st our sense,
No shallow art;
Sure lavish Nature gave thee heritance
OF imet's heart
Thou dost control our fancjes with might
So wild. so fond,
Wequatrel, passed thy circle of delight,
With things beyond:
Returning TO the pOA rough with care,
And vulgar food,
Sad from The breath Of that diviner air,
That oftier mood.
And there we leave thee, in thy misty tent,
Watching alone;
While foes about thee gather imminent,
To us scarce known,
Oh when the lights quenched, the music hushed
The plaudits still. gushed
Heaven keep the fountain, whence the fair stream
From choking ill; wrong,
Let Shakspeare's soul, that wins the world from
For thee avail,
And not one holy maxim of his song
Before thee IA Il
So, get thee To thy couch unreprOved
AS heroes blest;
And all good angels, trusted in and loved,
Attend thy rest
