gg-The latest number of the Old Line Democrat is filled with peans of praise, sickening laudations, and commentators of Hindman. From where editorial begins to the columns of advertisements, it is the same thing The editor said his was not a Hindman organ, and not to be devoted to one man orship. If his last issue IS not IIindman sheet, we would like, as a matter of curiosity, to see one issue of his paper devoted exclusively to his chief.

TO MISS M. R. OF HAMBURG Apr

ON LEAVING ASHLEY COUNTY. 'Tis done, and shivering in tho gale. The bark unfurls her snowy sail; And whistling o'er the bending mast Loud sings on high the freshninr blast And must from this land be gone. Because l cannot love but one. But could be what have been. And could l see what have seen Couid repose upon the breast, Which once my warmest wishes blesf should not seek another home. Because cannot love but one.
 lls long since beheld that eve Winch gave me bliss or misery; And have striysn, but in vain Never to think of it again,
 For though fly from Orion
 still can only love but one As some lone bird without mate My weary heart is desolate- l look around and cannot trace One friendly smile or welcome r,,e. And even III crowds am still alona Because 1 cannot love but one. And l shall cross the whitening foam. And l shall seek a foreign home, Till forget a false fair face l ne'er shall find resting place: My own dark, dark thoughts cannot shun But ever love and love but one. 'Twould soOtheto take one lingering view, And bless thee in my last adiue-- Yet wish I not those eyes to weep For him that wanders O 'er the deep; His home, his hope, his youth are gone, Yet still he loves and loves but one.

The Charleston Convention.

WdSNtnytON, TtUr ~.
 The special committee appointed by the democratic caucus has agreed upon a plat form for the Charleston convention. Upon the subject of slavery in the territories the resolution of Senator Davis is accepted, which mainly concludes that when a terri torial legislature and the judiciary find they cannot protect slavery under the Dred Scott decision. Congress must provide remedy for the right thereby affirmed.

TIE GAME OF BRAG-Every two or four years the opposition play the game of brag. In 1856, Yell was sweeping the State, was hailed by enthusiastic crowds, and making the triumphal march of conquerer. You could not persuade an oppositioner that his majority could possibly be less than 5000. So in former elections. They trod so lightly, rubbed their hands with so much glee and exultation, was so broadly shown that the faint hearted democrats began to believe they might conquer So with the disorganizers of 1S6O They form mutual admiration and encouragement society. They chuckle over every evidence in their favor, and shut their eyes to every mani festation of the real sentiment of the peo- ple They pat each other on the back and are having a jolly good time of it-before the election. The game of brag is an old game. Some new players are at it in our State. Capt. Danloy can teach Mir. Peek, for all the latter thinks he is strong player.
 Mai or Borland spent several days here lately shuf1lng the cards. Perhaps he showed the disorganizers how "to put them up."

The Free Negro Question.

Some forty negroes arrived m this city on Tuesday evening from the State of Ar kansas. They are probably but the ad- vanced guard of thousands from the same quarter that Ohio may expect to receive before long, and incorporate into her popu- lation. Arkansas passed law compelling all free negroes to leave the State before the 1st of January, 1860, on pain of being sold into slavery if they did not comply. This causes general exodus. Other slave States-Louisiana Mississippi Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri, Virginia and Maryland are on the point of enacting similar stat ues. A very large part of this expelled negro population will come to Ohio, as they. are not allowed to settle in Illinois or Indiana, and they are adverse to gong to the States north of us, or to Canada, on account of the severity of the climate.
 We may expect, in three or four years, to have a population of hundreds of thou sands of worthless and idle free negroes in the State of Ohio, unless we pass an eXclu- sion law similar to Indiana and Illinois If they would settle on the western reserve among the abolitionists of that section 1t would, perhaps, be natural and proper, as they (the abolitonists) are advocates of negro equality, and we i'll southern Ohio might not object to their gratifying their tastes in that direction to their heart S content. But they will not do it; they don't like to live among their abolition friends but settle generally in southern Ohio, where their presence is deemed most undesirable At this time, vixen it should be the policy of Ohio to discourage negro emigration into our borders, we see Cover nor Chase and his political friends offering inducements to it by proposing to give them the rights oi suffrage and other politi- cal privileges s.- Cin Enq.

AN ELoPED CoUPLE.-Mrs. Gurney, the wealthy English lady, who fled with her groom from England, has, it is said, ar rived in Paris. Much curiosity is mani fested whenever she appears abroad; but what is the most remarkable is the 6Esr indifference manifested toward her com San- ion The lady is short and rather stout, with an extreme juvenile gait and manner. The partner ofher flight is of middle height, with sandy hair and whiskers, and bears not half such good face upon the matter as his victim, for he looks down. and ven- lures not to raise his eyes as he walks along.

Rurning of the Steamer Hickman.

This boat left our wharf about 3 o'clock on Monday evening, bound for Cincinnati. About l6 or IS miles below here, the plne wood on the lower deck was discovered to be on fire. The boat was immediately rounded to and headed for the bank. So rapid was the spread of the flames that within three minutes from the discovery ot the fire, the flames had enveloped the whole forward part of the boat. But few pas sengers succeeded in saving any baggage, the others thinking themselves fortunate to escape with their lives. One man was severely burned, and another (the porter), in jumping from the hurricane deck, had his back and leg broken. Both these per sons are in critical condition.
 After the boat struck the bank, she swung off into the current and struck q bar, where she remained until she burned to the waters edge.
 The books and papers of the boat, to- gether with large amount of money, De- longing to the passengers and to parties along this river and in Cincinnati, were burned. There was but little freight on board, which is, of course, total loss. The boat was insured in Cincinnati for sS,OOO.
 As soon as possible one of the clerks of the Hickman came to this place and en- gagged the Leon to go down and bring up the passengers and crew. When Capt Reasoner, of the Leon, was informed of the accident, he promptly repaired to the scene of the disaster, and returned yester' day morning with the passengers and crew. They desire to express their thanks for the prompt assistance and kind treatment rendered by Capt Reasoner, for which he generously charged nothing.

EDITORIAL FATATITY.-Speaking of the death of Mir, Roy, late editor of the Vicks- burg Sun, the Concordia Intelligencer says:

Information Wanted.

Will the editor of the Old Line Demo- crat state who compose and make up this "old morn-out eeete dynasty" of whom he speaks in his last issue?
 He can give their names unless he IS practicng a fraud upon the people.
 Woodruff sung that song and ended a know nothing. Borland defeated Sevier singing the tune of the "dynasty," he end ed a know nothing. Danley commenced where the others left off and still sings the tune of |" the family" and he is now the implacable foe of his old party and know nothing to the bitter end If Mir. Peek will take up the files of the old Democrat & Gazette, published by Woodruff, Bor- land d Danley, and re-publish "the iami ly," dynasty" articles, he will save him self much labor, paper and ink.
 If he won't publish the name of "Me Jrare man," will he oblige us by publishing the names of the members of this |" "old worn-out effste dynasty"
 Whoever they are they do not seem to be so "old and aoorn out," but that they are putting Mr. Peek's energies to his notches to supplant them in the peoples affections with outside favorites. By the confession of their being acorn-om e6ete," the editor of the Old Line Democrat admits either that the democracy of Arkansas are set of ignoramuses, or that he is too weak to cope with them in the field of fair and le- gitimate argument. He is forced to resort to appeals to the prejudices and passions of men.
 But he can't nome Mem.. He can't name any definite number. We dare him to come out like "a brave man" and say who he is assailing under the title of the |" old rorn-om efete dynasty" An honorable man wears no mask and deals in no insin- nations.
