The Contest at the South.

The contest at the South in 1860 will be
glorious one. Lincoln will not be in the
field there,-that is not directly. The dis.
unionists will make feeble effort in bis
behalf, but it will be failure. In Virginia
the flag of Douglas and johnson will be
borne by Letcher, Moffat, Bocock, a
Pryor, and gallant hoekof never defeated
Democrats. In North Carolina it will have
Clingman, Ried, and an army of equally
effective leaders. In Georgia, Stephens,
johnson and Gardner, and the entire Demo.
cratic press will drive the disunionists from
every field. In Alabama, Forsythe and
Winston will lead the Democracy to an easy
victory. In Louisiana, the native vote Of
the original French stock will unite with the
great body of the Democratic party, and
give Douglas majority unequaled in that
State. In Arkansas, Flournoy and John.
son and Hooper and Rust will lead the De-
mocracy to victory. In Missouri, Douglas
will have an easy victory. Lincoln will be
a candidate there, but Missouri will roll up
not less than twenty-five thousand majority
for Douglas. In Tennessee and Kentucky,
there can be no doubt of victory. The
bones of jackson and of Clay will not rest
quietly in their graves while men are can.
vassing those States asking the people to
enlist in the cause of disunion
We say to our friends, have no apprehen-
sions respecting the South. Douglas and
johnson will beat the disunionists in
every Southern State, except, possibly,
South Carolina. In that State the people
do not vote for President. Douglas will
have from 100 to liz Southern electoral
votes. In less than six weeks there will be
no opposing candidate at the South.
Let the North do its duty. Let Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Min>
nesota respond to the IS votes certain to be
cast for Douglas from New York, and the
victory will be complete total extinction
of fanaticsm and disunionism in both Sec
tions of the country.-Chicogo Times.

Grand COl0red Wedding in st Louis
.-Aristocratic Nuptials.

The st. Louis Republican of the 18th
inst, contains long account of wedding
in that city, which is considered as rivalling
the Oviedo- Bartlett affair. We extract the
following:
The nuptials of Mr.. Felix Doyle (colored)
with Miss Theodosia Hazlitt (colored) of
this city, took place on Tuesday evening
last, at the Cathedral on Walnut street,
Father Ryan officiating. Somewhat before
the appointed hour an unusual activity was
observed in front of the church. There was
long array of carriages there, and upon
the broad pavement stood, in knots, several
scores of elaborate attired masculines of va
rious tinges of skin, embracing the hues of
the chestnut, cinnamon, citron, cinder, cloud
and charcoal. Soon the bridal party ar
rived in elegant vehicles, and on entering
found company of nearly one thousand per-
sons, including many of both sexes, known
as among the Oldest white families of the
city, drawn thither either from motives of
curiosity or because of their long acquain-
tance with the parental relatives Of the hap
py couple.
The bridegroom was fine looking rich
young man, twenty -four years ofage, dressed
in superb and faultless style.
The bride is blooming and pretty quad
ron of seventeen, of aristocratic lineage, and
the pride Of a mother with it is said, sixty
thousand dollars, who lives in a grand style
on Franklin avenue. She was attired in q
gorgeous white silk dress, with the custo.
mary bridal adornments of honiton and va
lenciennes, and was decorated with daz-
zling profusion of diamonds and jewelry.
The four groomsmen were also deliberately
dressed in plain white, and being all young
and handsome, elected general admiration.
The wedding over, the bride and groom,
the mother and sister of the bride, the mother
of the bridegroom, and invited guests to the
number of about two hundred, repaired to
the residence of the brides mother, and there
partook of magnificent supper. After
this and the usual congratulations, the joy
GUS company tripped the light fantastic toe
till morning, and separated in fine spirits.
Last night an entertainment was given by
the new made husband on a scale of the
grandest magnifcence, to which more than
three hundred persons were invited.
The "colored population" of the city, it is
supposed, will not stop talking of this stu
pendous wedding for some time. 1t will be
an epoch for them to date from.

Our Country's Greatest Source of
Danger.

We take from the April number of the
Pacific Enpositor, the following interesting
sketch of an interview between Henry Clay
and Rev. DR.. Hill, editor of the Presbyterian
Herald, of Louisville, Kentucky. 1t is
written under the above caption, as fol-
lows
GA few weeks prior to the death of the
Hon. Henry Clay, when be passed through
our city, on his way to Washington, at the
request of a Methodist minister from one
of the northern states, who had never seen
the greatest statesman, we called with him
to see him. He was quite feeble and spoke
of his death as probable event in a few
months. He stated that nothing but deep
and abiding conviction that the union of the
states was in imminent peril could have in
duced him, in his state of health, to leave
the quiet OF his own home and 60 back to
the Senate, the seat of so many of his strug-
giles and great achievements. The opinion
was expressed by one or both of US that the
danger of disuniOn was greatly overestima-
ted, and that if it ever came to the test it
would be found that there were very few
who would be mad enough to rush into dis
union, either in the north or in the south.
He shook his head ominously and replied
"Gentlemen, if have studied anything it
is the genius and spirit of the American
people, both in the North and the South,
and tell you there is danger. There is a
spirit rising up in both sections of this Re-
public, which if not speedily quelled, will
bring about severance of the union of
these states, not in two, but in half dozen
little petty republics, or despotisms, as the
case may be-" 1t was replied that on sew
eral former occasions the north and the
south had been arrayed against each other
in bitter hostility, but that the hostility had
died away and the parties restored to more
than their former friendly relations. "Ah,"
said he, "that was before the rise of modern
abolitionism. Fanaticism cannot be con-
trolled, and especially religious fanaticism.
The churches of the country then stood
together, and in their great annual assem-.
blies they drew the bonds of the union and
brotherhood together. Now most of them
have been rent asunder, and they are acting
as dividers rather than to bind the country"
Said he, "Gentlemen, you are both of you
ministers OF the gospel, and tell you that
this sundering of the religious ties, which
have hitherto bound our people together, I
consider the greatest source of danger to
our country. If our religious men cannot
live together in peace what can be expected
of us politicians, very few Of whom profess
to be governed by the great principle of
lover"
"If all the churches divide on the subject
of slavery. there will be nothing left to bind
our people together but trade and COM
merce. That" said he, "is very power
full bond, admit, but when the people of
these States become thoroughly alienated
from each other, and get their passions
aroused, they are not apt to stop and con-

Dest thou Remember,
PUBLISHED BY REQUEST.

~N-S
DoSt thou, dearest one, remember
How, in mellow autumn days,
Side by side we gently wandered
Through the forest shadowY maze?
How beside the rushing waters,
Circled by their snowy foam,
How soft, burning words didst murmur,
Shocking in my heart their home?
Dost thou remember
When upon The rapid current
Floated swift our fragile boat,
How the sparkling waves soft echoed
With the wild birds thrilling note?
Then thine eyes all fondly beaming,
Sought its answer in my own,
While my heart throbbed all too deeply
Fen 10 breathe one softened tone.
Dost thou remember
How we braided leaves and blossoms
For the tombs of loved and last,
How our spirits bowed together
Ger their silent, Wondering dust2
How beneath the pale, sweet moonlight,
Thou didst whisper but enc word,
Which, though spoke sUftly, lightly.
My souls deepest fountain stirred?
Dost thou remember
How when DER us stars were beamins,
Like fond watchers far on high,
Thou didst VOW 10 love me only
While they lit the azure sky?
How my heart-pulSe futtered wildly
Thus TO win such love as thine,
While with childIike trust, my spirit
Clasped thee confidently mine?
Dost thou remember
How the winds noaned low and plaintive
Through the fragrant groves Of pine?
OH TO me it whispered sadly
ThatI never could be thine.
Though with fondness thou vast clasping
My cold hand within thine own,
Murmuring in mine ear how truly
Thou didst love, love me alone?
Dos thou remember?
No, for human faith has fsltered
From its highest, bollest trust;
Love with broken harp is weeping
O'er her ruined altar's dust.
But the echoes OF lis musics
Dwell amid its severed chords,
Never, never more 10 Yibrate
10 thy magic, siren words.
Mo usre remember
How spirit fond and faithful
Then didst vow TO cast aside
For a favored child of beauty,
That may Gil thy heart with pride
That may ssllle and seem to love thee,
but thy ardent soul may mock
On, beware lest It's bright garllnds
Should but wreath fearful rock.
No more remember
That as incense pure and holy,
Every hour IN my prayers arise,
Tbatmy strongly gifted spirit
mine may meet yet in the skies.
And the passion that has blishted
Life's best moments, happIest hours,
bay refine, as fire, my spirit,
Where forever bloom life'S flowers.
