THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY.-TIe
Democracy down South are in a transition
state. The ''new departure" has caused
a great commotion among them, from the
Susquehanna to the Rio Grande, and from
the Chesapeake to the wild woods Of
Arkansas In Maryland, the other day,
in their State convention, the Democrats,
not being fully prepared to take the new or
to abandon their old departure. compro-
missed the matter by splitting the difference,
and they contrived to split it BY doing
without platform of any sort. This
ought to be satisfactory to all the party,
for it leaves the Bourbons and the pro-
gressives each to take their own course.
This is as much as could be expected from
the Maryland Democrats at their first con-
vention on the new departure, with all then

pink and White Tyranny.
by MRS. HARRIET BEEcHER STOWE.


Some weeks had passed in Springdale
while these affairs had been going on in
New York. The time for the marriage of
Grace had been set and she had gone to
Boston to attend to that preparatory Shop
ping, which even the most sensible of the
sex discover to be indispensable on such oc-
casions. ,fsNafae
Grace inclined, in the centre of her soul,
to Bostonian, rather than New York prefer
ences. She had the innocent impression
that classical severity and rigid reti-
cence of taste pcrvaded even the rebellious
department of feminine millinery in the
city of the Piigrims-an idea which we
rather think young Boston would laugh
down as an exploded superstition; young
Boston's idea at the present hour being, APP
parently, to Guido New York in New York's
Imitation of Paris. ia
K t. In fact, Grace found it very difficult to
find milliner, who, il left to her own
her past all self-recognition, giving to her
that generally betowzled and fly-away air
which come straight from the demi-monde
Of Paris. .@
& We apprehend that the recent storms of
fairy islands of fashion may scatter their
frail and fanciful population, and send them
by ship-loads on missions of civilization to
our shores; in which case, the hustle and
animation and the display on the old turn
pike, spoken of Familiarity as the abroad
road" will be somewhat increased.
John came into Lilies elegant apart
ments, which glittered like tulip-bed,
