DaS-' A writer in the democratic organ
at Nashville deprecates the idea of nomi-
mating Mr.. Douglas at Charleston. 1t as
serts in positive terms that the Little Gil
ant cannot be elected, and continues:
'If Gov. Johnson's nomination should
be impossible, give us some good man to
whose support the party can rally with
enthusiasm. You may depend upon it
the life of the New Party depends upon
the nomination made at Charleston, and
not only that, but the success or defeat of
the Black Republican candidate for the
Presidency depends upon that nominal
ton; and upon that success or defeat may
immediately depend tie longer existence
of our Union"

The Homestead Bill Gov. johnson
and the Southern Democracv.

80 ~@>S ~OAshOAh DCthOCI&C
The New York Tribune of the 10th
inst. contains the following paragraph:
"The United States Senate yesterday
determined to postpone all other orders
till the Homestead Bill shall be disposed
OF. This was accomplished mainly by
the energy of Wade of Ohio, with the as.
sistance OF Mr.. johnson of Tennessee
Mr.. Hunter did his best to defea. the at.
tempt, but in vain. The Homestead Bill
will now be discussed and acted upon by
the Senate"
The following was the vote on Mr..
Wade's motion to postpone all prior or
ders, and take up the Homestead bill of
the House of Representatives
Yeas.-Messrs. Anthony, Bingham.
Chandler, Clark, Doolittle, Douglas, Dur.
kee, Fessenden, Fitch, Foot Foster,
Grimes, Hale, Harlan, johnson of Ten.
nessee, King, Nicholson, Pugh, Rice,
Seward, Simmons, Sumner, Ten Eyck,
Trumbull, Wade, and Wlson-26
Nays--Messrs. Benjamin, Bragg, Brown,
Chestnut, Clay, Clingman, Crittenden,
Davis, Fitzpatrick, Hammond, Hunter,
Iverson. johnson of Arkansas, Kennedy,
Lane, Mason, Polk, Powell, Sebastian,
Slidell, Thompson, and Wigfall-22.
The motion, it will be seen, was carried
by twenty Republican votes-all that
were present-aided by six Democratic
votes, viz: Messrs. Douglas, Fitch, of In
DIANA johnson and Nicholson, of Tennes-
see, Pugh, of Ohio, and Rice, of Minneso-
ia. Messrs. johnson and Nicholson were
the only Southern SenotoIs who voted
with the Republicans. Had they voted
against Mr.. Wadc's motion, it would have
failed,
Nota Southern Senator, save those
two, voted in the affirmative, and not
Republican Senator in the negative.
The Republicans, aided by the six
Democratic Senators above mentioned,
having succeeded in postponing all prior
orders of the day in order to take up the
Homestead bill, Mr. Doolittle, one of the
Republican Senators from Wisconsin, the
next day, made strong speech in its
favor-dwelling with especial force on the
SOiisioci"tioi thao ITO passdSc Nouii teIlu
to promote the rapid development of
the free States on the path Of our en-
pire westward, and to prevent the Afri-
canization CT the teeming Southwest.
We learn from the National Intelli-
gencer that Mr.. Mason, of Virginia, af-
ter the conclusion of the speech, called
the particular attention "of Mr. John
son, of Tennessee, to the avowed aim
and object of the homestead bill, as cx-
planned and defended by Mr.. Doolitt.e.
1t was part and parcel of a policy look
ing to the predomnance Of the free States
and to the political subsection of the
slaveholding portion of the Confederacy.
Under these circumstances it seemed to
him passing strange that Senator rep
rcsenting a slaveholding constituency
should be found cooperating with those
who thus frankly avowed the purposes
and objects of the measure in question"
Mr.. johnson rose to reply to these re-
marks of Mr.. Mason, but gave way to
motion to adjourn, which was carried
NaShrWc Nc,cs.

Lamnrtine's Opinion of Julia Recamier-
His Enthusiastic Admiration other Char
acter.
In a recentconversation with an American
authoress in Paris, Lamartine, speaking of
Madame Recsmier said
The recollections of this woman bring back
to me the spring of my life. The thought of
her makes the blood of twenty-five dance in
my veins, and colors every thing around me
with the freshness of a May morning. She
was the most beautiful woman / have ever
seen-that is she was surrounded by an at
mosphere the most divine, the most Elusive.
shall never forget the first time saw her.
1t seemed as if had passed into a new
world. l was a different man. Life was
brighter, newer; its ways smoother.
"What was the secret of this Woman's
power ~ | asked. "She was not a thinker,
nor a worker, nor a candidate for any of the
prizes of fame, nor even well educated, am
told, and yet, she has certainly left her inn
press on the mind of the age in which she
lived"
"J will tell you what was her power" he
said, while his face lighted up like lamp.
at was q divine power-a power that is
higher than thought, or work, or education.
1t was the power of an essence. Madame
Reeamier was not a great fact, nor a great
the crowd of things and individualities that
cucumber the history of the sixty years of
her reign; but she was more than great
idea, a great talent, a great event, Q great
pOwer-she was a great dazZlement of the
eyes, long eneUrement of hearts; she was
great power of nature; she was beauty; and
beauty is the royalty of nature.
"What doesit tmatter where beauty is born2
Whether, like Cleopatra, upon throne, or
like the antique Venus upon the foam of the
wave, or like Lady Hamilton from the lees
of vice. Wherever she appears, she reigns;
wherever she smiles, she enchains. She
consumes Phidias with the passion to repro
duce her in his marbles; divinises Raphael
under the glance of Fornarina, and makes
him die in the flame of her eyes. She sane
tifes Petrarch in his mystic alteration of
Laura, and in Egypt arrests, with smile,
that Cesar whom neither Italy, nor Greece,
nor Africa, nor Spain, had the power to ar
rest. She corrupted Nelson in the paradise
of Naples, and counterbalanced in the heart
of the hero the glory of Trafalgar, and made
Chateaubriand forget his ambition, his egot-
ism, and his old age in the radiation of the
already declining Julia Recamier. Voild, sd
ptiSsdnce, mddemOiseLLei Love was the only
enchantment this woman had not. She was
not enough of the woman, and too much oi
the goddess. She was Julia Recamier. For
hirty years she pose q diViRe model of a Va led
dteler before the eyes and hearts of two gem
erations of enthusiastic adorers, who were
each and all disinterested in her possession.
She remained untouched amid the incense
that smoked and the arms that were ex-
tended to receive her, She was always the
statue and never the lover"
