In order to al low him to retain his office, they have charita bly submittoito his support of the worst acts of Mr. BUCHANAN and his Cabinet—to his championship of the miserable Ant, who ho trayed lily 'principles on the Lecompton ques tion, for whatis generally supposed to have been a considerationd even to his attacks npon independent men who would not follow his example. Baanoic has indeed labored to propitiate their good opinion by apologizing in private to those whore he has publicly assailed, and by confidentially sneering at and denouncing fluttyery acts which, in his newspaper, he seemed sincerely to approve 1 Among those who have been favored by his professions of friendship is the editor of Tar PRESS. Incli nation and old associations led us to believe these professions, and induced us to pass over his humiliating subserviency to the tyrants at Washington. In days gone by it was our pleasure to serve him, and in later times to plead in his behalf to those who_ objected to his libels and his inconsistencies. The:above extract, however, displays not only his Utter want of gratitute, but his niter want of truth. If there is a man in the State who knows the nature'of the editor of Tar Paiss—wbo ca n judge of his 'sincerity, and who has gone fur ther, than others to approve the policy upon which this journal is conducted—it is this same BitAzioN. He knows that o FORNEY" is not a o Lincoln Man:" Ho knows that Poway is earnestly and ardently the friend of STEPHEN A. Bonati.s ; and he knows, too, «that every day , the broad pages of Tar Pares are NOV tilled with speeches 'of Black Repub lican orators." Here, now, are three patent = and distinct ' falsehoods—patent to all Men,' and known to' be such to him who utters it. THE Pans is a newspaper. It has its opinions and its convictions, which, while. deliberately and daily publishing, do not:prevent it from giving the widest •circultt. Lion to the opinions and convictions of others. Current events, persbnal or political, are col lected carefully, and reported to its thousands of readers. But the editor is no more respon sible for the speeches he prints, than ho is for his advertisements. Mr. BusTroE; like the rest of his school, con ceals the,truth, iq order to assist the wrong. While denouncing the straight Douglas elec toral ticket, and calling upon the friends. of DOUGLAS to vote for the enemies of DonoLas on the fusion ticket, he is dishonest enough to refuse to state that the straight Douglas cisc toral ticket not only meets the warm approval of STEPHEN A. Donaass, but was absolutely appointed at his earnest request. Will this man MUTTON say that DOOOLAS is for LiNcer.x, be * canse Doroass is for the straight ticke. What elstidoes BasTrou meanly hide from his readers, in order to:make good his abuse of Tux Pease? Only that in the Southern States the, - men who' pray for the election of the fusion ticket in Pennsylvania boldly strike every Douglas man from their elec toral tickets, on the ground that no Dou glas man can be a Democrat. Nor does he tell the honest Democracy of Cumberland county that he is 'asking them to support an electoral ticket composed of men the majority of whom are not only trying to break down the regidar organitation and nominations of the party, but are committed to a candidate for . the Presidency' who is controlled by the enemies, of the Union. Nor does he tell them that, while' bltiming THE Puss and its editor for assisting to elect Luton's, such a result is the assured consequence of the revolutionary course of.ilitEoirasfuteoz and his supporters. If BaEountarnas were not in the field, Don °Lis would be elected in November. Mr. Bearrox flies the flag of DOUGLAS and Tensaw!, from his mast-head ; but his colors, like his statements, are false. The pirate who goes forth to ravage and to burn, to rob and to murder, unfurls the flag of some civilized nation in order more effectually to accomplish his fiendish 'purposes; and so with the`post master of the Carlisle Volunteer. The name of Downes printed at the head of his columns is a` tleaoy siyat a cheat. Directly below it he prints the • • fusion electoral ticket, which DOUGLAS has himself denounced, and which, like a inaossine:in the Corsair's hold, when ever the time comes, will be used to destroy] the very cause to which this Volunteer professes at tachment. : This is the man, and this is the newspaper rat attempts to arraign TIM Pawn for disorganization, and, to hold its editor ecootifiatable 'for the probable election of -Asisusx LINCOLN. Let Mr. BRATTON, like all of his class, receive the bounties of the Administration, bat let him not still farther outrage the honest Democracy, who, for years, have tolerated his mercenary conduct, by at tempting, with wanton impunity, to drive them into an endorsement of the venalities and treacheries of which he has so long boon the shameless apologist. The Fusion Proposition, It will be seen by a telegraphic despatch from Harrisburg, that the Douglas State Exe cutive Cornmittee announce that they have at no time; entertained a proposition for fusion with the avowed supporters of BREOEISHIDOU. It is impossible for any party to be more posi tively and unequivocally collimitted for any thing, than' the supporters of DotraLts are against any recognition whatever of the Presi dential aspirations of the Disunion candidate. We have received several communications from active Democrats, denouncing the pro position recently made by Mr. Efacnausy to kir t yrxxsn, and it is evident that they reflect the Sentiment of a large portion of the Demo cracy of this State. The overtures having been' declined, howevei','tho existing electo ral' tickets remain unchanged, and practically the recent conference has led to no other re sult than to elicit, on the one hand, proofs of the strong aversion' of the Democracy to any affiliation on the Presidential question with the Seaestioniats, and to indicate on the other, that, after all Mr. WEisa's professed regard for an effective fission, he rejected the only proposition which had the remotest chance, of success. The Municipal Building*. Considering all the circumstances attending the recent awardof the contract for erecting the new municipal buildings, it is fortunate that it is subject to the approval of Councils, so that all the facts involved may be investi gated. It is but just to the tax-payers of this city, that they should be fully convinced that there are good and sufficient reasons forgiving the, contract to bidder who required about $200,000 more for the work ,than one of his competitors; before the action of the Commis.: 'slonerels confirmed: If this cannot be done, ,our municipal guardians will be bound by a due regard ,for the interest of their constitu lintato, reject it. The new buildings should be 'speedily erected, and we believe the public not ,only admire the ,proniptness with which the7,C,Oinintdelonerti havo,dlscharged their du nip ready to, sustain, them in, any proper action but there certainly appears to be some additional explanation needed in re gard to theirreasons for accepting 'the bid of ItteAnintieltistead 'of that of Mr. iirrenem. ciFFOLIFF'S 8/.411 OF 13rAvionanr.—N , F, Pen aontit, naotioneer, 481 Clisstnut strenq, W 11 sell this morning, at, half, past ten o'oloolf,, at extensive Stook of oritintiniploase stations*, , blienk 'books, letter, note, and any paper, erVelopO„pens, fancy *Wats La ., so. dale peremptory, by order of the eheillf. The Democratic City Executive Com: =Mee and the Federal Office-Hold- ere:...;• The'ealithing that rescued the supporters of the National ,Administration, in this city and Ste*, during the last few years, from utter political impoteacy, was the fact that in some districts, by various corrupt arts and in trigues, they were enabled ;to control the or ganization or mere machinery of the Demo cratic party; and having gained possession of this, they insisted upon all Democrats yielding unquestioned obedience to • their unreasonable, unprincipled, and infamous decrees. But latterly the tables havi3 been turned; and the National Convention having been controlled by men who adhered to tho time-honored Democratic principle of non-in tervention, and who were unwilling to endorse the treacheries, and tyrannies of BUCHANAN, his adherents immediately showed to the world how little regard they had for the highest par tisan tribunal 'or authority known to Demo crats, by making a separate and disorganizing Presidential nomination. They thus proved that they were as ready to destroy the organi zation for which they had habitually professed so much attachment, as to violate the pledges of 1856. A similar spirit has recently been exhibited in reference to the local politics of our city. The Federal officeholders have refused to give to the City Executive Committee the funds usually contributed by them to defray campaign ex penses. In the contest in the several wards, a few weeks ago, the friends of Douches were successful in securing a majority of the mem. hers of this committee, and thus gained com plete possession of thd machinery of the or ganization in this quarter ; but although it is understood that there has been an unusually large political assessment made upon the em ployees of the Federal Government, they re fuse to advance a single dollar to the com mittee, under whose direction all local expen ditures have previously been made, simply be cause a majority of its members are in favor of sustaining the regular Democratic nominees for local, Legislative, Congressional, State, and National offices, and because they will not consent to support the Disunion can didates, BREOKINRIVIE and -Lean. several conferences have been already ,held, between the Executive Committee, on the one band, and the Federal officers, • on the other, in rela tion to this subject; but all hope of obtain ing from the latter the usual pecuniary aid has now been abandoned, and the committee announce that they will meet at FLLNACIAII% in Sixth street, below Race, during the first three days of the present week, t 4 to receive subscriptions in large or small sums, to enable the Democratic party to conduct the present campaign in a vigorous and energetic manner." Thus a direct appeal has been made to the people, which will doubtless be success ful in securing all the money necessary to pay the legitimate expenses of the canvass ; and nothing beyond this should be asked for or re. ceived. The custom of expending large amounts of money for election purposes is at beet one of very doubtful propriety, and is likely to lead to frightful abuses. And it is certainly much better for the committee to rely solely upon the honest masses, and to preserve intact their independence and man hood, than to accept, on any humiliating or diihonorable terms, the money of Federal officers. It is well known that Mr. Buoirenex's appointees have been totally oblivious to the precepts of the famous DnQueane letter, when any pet scheme was to be sustained—when any breken-down journals of the Administration were to be bolstered up—when any of its syco phantic slaves or parasites were to be supported —when any faithless Representatives were to be shielded from the rightful indignation of their outraged constituents—but they now re fuse to contribute a dollar of the salaries which, in most instances, they receive simply because they are the ungrateful and undeserving re cipients of the bounty of the Democratic par ty, to sustain its regular nominees, even on the eve of a great Gubernatorial and Presiden tial contest. Who Omit be King of Naples? A short time ago we published a letter from Prince MUaAT, (nephew of NAPOLEON 1., and son of the sometime King of Naples,) in which he held out the hope that, with the Emperor Ne.roraorf's permission, he might one day rule over Naples, if called to that destiny by the will of the people. It appears that this missive, which probably was a feeler, has not quite pleased the Emperor of the French. The English journals com mented) rather tauntingly, on Naples having a free chance of choosing its own ruler, and being compelled to take MURAT. In reply, the Moniteur, official organ of the French Go vernment, has published the following damp er, which disposes of the question : cr Prince MuaAT has published a letter disavowing those who would in his name excite troubles at Naples. The Government of the Emperor can only applaud this declaration ; but the hope which the Prince expresses in that letter of being one day able to go to Naples, with the consent and support of France, is too much opposed to the wishes of the Em peror to allow such a supposition to pass without an official disavowal." Prince MURAT has responded, declaring that the Moniteur misinterpreted his meaning. He adds: "I have never had the pretension to engage in anticipation the policy of the Em peror nor the alliance of Prance. But I wished to say that should universal suffrage, free from all foreign influence, pronounce itself In my favor, the wishes of the popula tion would, doubtless, be no less respected at Naples than they have been In the other parts of Italy." By this time, in all probability, Vioron EMMANUEL is King of Naples. Next year ho will be King of Italy. On Thursday evening last Mr. Blondin offered to carry the corpulent Amodio, of the Corteel Opera Troupe; on a rope from the stage of Niblo's Theatre to the gallery, and Amodio was willing to be carried ; but as Mr. Nixon, proprietor of the theatre, did not enoourage' tho proposed feat, it was not aocomplished IMPORTANT TO SPORTS/AIM—By an adver tine ment in another column .it will be seen that an improvement has been made in Bre•arme, which entirely obviates the objections heretofore made against the system of breech•loading.'

The New Orleans Picayune's Havana malls put that journal in possession of some additional de tails. Walker and his men appear to have surren dered without resistance to the troops who went up the Rio Negro in the boats of the British vessel Icarus. The Picayune believes the number of Walker's men to have been seventy-six, Including I the wounded. The troops who effeeted the capture were native Hondurans, under command of Gen. Alvarea, but their number is not stated. There were probably more, however, than could be com fortably transported on the loans, since that yes eel was accompanied by another smaller one, name not given : "On delivering he prisoners up to Gen. Alvarez Commander Salmon is said to have demanded that Walker's followers? both officers and men, except Col. Ruddier, should be permitted to return un harmed to the United States. This, however, only on condition that they look out never hereafter to serve in any expedition against Central America. Their passage home, moreover, was to be paid by theAmerioan °onset, Mr. Yellin, In the mean time they were lodged in the castle ,which they had' en recently abandoned. "In favor of Walker himself, and Col. Ruddier, his second fa command, no conditions " were ex acted. They wore delivered up to be dealt with according to the laws of the country, and it Is be lieved have already been shot." jiThe same vessel which brought the news of the capture to Havana reported that another expedi tion, composed of Guatemalans, under Col. Godoy, had sailed from Oasoa 9n the 80th ultimo in Sooroll Of Walker. This, expedition has .not yet been beard of, , A story was in ciroulation at liavanaoshen the titer of the West sailed front there on the 18th, that Walker had been garoted by the Ilondurans.

The 'intend whioh.attaoltes to the Pripidential notion of the Sortibim people in Itovemloer next, has induced me to make a number of inquiries, showing the state of parties in that portion of the Union. I have consulted freely with the friends of Douglas, Breekinrldge and 8011, and, with no dis position to overrate or underrate the strength of either side, proceed to give you my cocal u si on s. Let ns begin with Maryland. In this State the Demooratlo delegation in the present Congress, in cluding Senator James A. Pearce, have taken posi tion for Breoklnridge. The majority of the Demo o'ratio party will go for the Secession candidate, but a large vote will be thrown for Douglas in the city of Baltimore, and Lathe counties of Allegheny, Frederick, Carroll, Harford, Cecil, St. Mary's, Prince George's, Howard, and Montgomery. There is not a shadow of a doubt that Maryland will go for 8011. Among the leading Demoorate arrayed on the side of Douglas, are that gifted gentleman and splendid' lawyer, Hon. Henry May, and those Influential and patriotio citizens,' Chas. F. Mayer, Esq., Robt. J. Brent, Frannie Gallagher, the Irish orator of the State, Hon. Edward Hammond, Chas. Carroll of Carrollton, J. Philip Roman, of Alle gheny, Edward Bohrlver, of Frederick, and a host of others. The contest in Virginia is the most animated that has over taken place in the State. Of the pre sent delegation in Congress, General Mi!loon, of the Norfolk district, and John T. Ranh', of the Rockingham district, aro the only two for Douglas. Mr. Beteler, the American member from the Har per's Ferry district, is for Bell, and the balance of the delegation, including the two Senators, are for Breekinridge. I have already called your ellen 'tier' to the annihilation of Senator James M. Mason by Hen. Henry 14.,F00te, a few weeks ago, at Har risonburg. That Speech of General Foote may be regarded as the opening of the campaign. It has fired the whole mass of the Democracy, and has been followed by the formation of a Douglas elec toral ticket of singular ability and Influence. It may not be uninteresting to refer to the following gentlemen upon that ticket, appointed by the Staunton Convention, which peremptorily refused to coalesce with the Brookinridgers : John Allivorth, of the Acoomao district, is the friend and neighbor of ex-Governor Wise, was a Polk elector in 1844, and a Pieree'tllootor in 1852, and is regarded as one of the beet intellects in Eastern Virginia; General Blow, of Norfolk, who was a Pierce elector in 1862 and a Buchanan eke tor in 1856, and who is considered ore of the first lawyers in tide-water Virginia; Hon. Henry L. Hopkine, of Petersburg, ex-Speaker of the Virgi nia Rouse of Delegates, and who was appointed elector for hie dietriot by the regular Convention which met at Richmond, 'Which, however, he de clined, to take hie place upon the straight-out Dou glas ticket; Dr. Randolph, of Albemarle, grand son of Thomas Jefferson, and late State Senator, and perhaps the moat popular man in the Redhead diatriot ; James Garnett, of Lynchburg, formerly Member of Congress, and one of the ablest stump ere in the Commonwealth, who was a Pierce elec tor in 1852, and a Buchanan elector in 1850 ; Gen eral James 11. Cox, of Chesterfield, late a distin guished member of the State Senate, and a fine public sPeaker ; General George W. Hopkins, a member of Congress for ten years, minister to Por tugal under General Pierce, a long-time friend of Mr. Buchanan, and hie supporter during the last Congress; Hon. William G. Brown, the wheel-horse of the Democracy in the North west, and for ten years a member of Congress; and Geo. W. Brent, of Alexandria, late a distinguished member of the• Virginia Senate, and one of the ablest lawyers at the Alexandria bar. All these gentlemen are actively engaged in the canvass, and are addressing the people in all parts of the State. In addition, I may mention that Tim. Rives, of Prince George, called by Father Ritchie " the war horse," a Cass elector in 1848, a Pierce elector in 1852, a' Buchanan elector in 1850, anti the collector of Petersburg under Mr. Buoharian'a appointment, is as actively engaged for Douglas as the youngest man in the "Old Dominion." Go vernor John Letoher is warmly for Douglas, and so, also, are A. D. Banks, Esq., General Haman and his four brothers, the moat influential family of Democrats in all Virginia; Dr. C. R. Barris, of Culpeper, brother of the member from the Rock ingham district, and late candidate for Lieutenant Governor; Judge Riehardll. Parker, Hon. Thomas Wallace, Hon. Jno. Lyon, of Petersburg, George W. Bolling, former Whig competitor of the oele• brated George D. Dromgoole, W. W. Sharpe, of Norfolk, Gen. F. M. Boykin, of Isle of Wight, General Dorman, of Rookbridge, and General E. P. Scott, late Speaker of the Virginia Senate. Hon. Shelton F. Leaks, late Lieutenant Governor and present member of Congress, a Breckinridger, has announced that he was against disunion ; and, notwithstanding the threat of Speaker Orr, that, if Liman be sleeted, the reeeileotlon of John Brown's raid ought only to allow the vetoers of the General Government to execute , their duties in the valitb over the Mein bodies of her eons; It Is the fast that In Harper's Ferry, precinot, where from.l3oo to 700 votes are oast, there are only 17 Breekinridge men ; and that, in the county, Colonel Baylor, Coyle, and all the old leaders of the Democracy, aro for Douglas. It will be recollected that, at ono time, it , wee intimated that the resignation of the superintendent of the Harper's Ferry armory, Alfred M. Barbour, eon of old John 13 Bar bour, whn oast the vote of Virginia for Buchanan in the Cincinnati 'Convention, and Mother of James Barbour, a noted politiolan of Culpeper, would be acceptable to the President, and when it was sent it would have been ac cepted but for protests from all parts of the State that it would lose Breckinridge thousands of votes. Barbour has taken the stump for Douglas, and yet holds Me place. He met ex Governor Smith, the Breokinridge leader, at Harrisonburg, a few days ago, and utterly routed him. He produced a latter written by the ox-Governor to John J. Lewis, when the Virginia Democracy was driving back the torrent of Know Nothingism that came rushing down from the North, in which Smith stated that but for a pressure of engagements be would meet Wise and answer him, and that he would regard hie election as a public calamity. The Bell and Everett party is exceedingly active and,oonfident, and will, no doubt, sweep the State bye decided majority owing to the divisions among the Democracy. Mr. Wise has announced his purpose to begin his campaign in a few days. Mr. Hunter is already upon the stump, and his colleague in the United States Senate, Mr. Mason, has spoken frequently.' The Breokinridge influence Includes all the radical fire-eaters of the State—such men as Pryor, Bocook, Edmondeon; Martin, De Jarnette, and Jenkins. In North Carolina, the canvass for Douglas, al. though boson at a late day, is conducted most vigorously. The entire Democratic delegation in Congress, except Hon. Warren Winslow, who seems to have oompletely subsided since the ad. journment of Congress, have taken ground for Breokinridge, but the champions of Douglas in• elude some of the ablest Democrats in the State. H. W. Miller, R. P. Disk, Thome Settle, late Speaker of the North Carolina House, John D. "lineman, D. K. Mcßae, late consul to Paris. Quentin Busby, and Dr. Kean, late Breokinridge elector, are actively in the field. The Bell men are led by Hen. John A. Gilmore, Hon. W. N. 11 Smith, former Administration fusion candidate for Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States, and ex•Seoratary of the Navy Graham. My best information leads me to put down this State as certain for Bell by a large ma jority. In South Carolina there is a strong conservative reaotion, but the State will, of course, go for Break. inridge. Senator Chesnut told a gentleman, at the Virginia White Sulphur Springs, a few days ago, that he would not regard the election of Lin• coin as a cause for seceding from the Union, and there is no question that his sentiments aro those of many of the leading men of the State. There are conflicting accounts from Georgia. Mr. Secretary Cobb elating that Brockinridge will boat both Bell and Douglas, but the friends of the latter assert that a union will take place between the Bell and Douglas men in a few days, and that the State will go for this combination. The speech of Hon Alex. 11. Stephens has produced en elec trical effect, and ho hoe written to the Douglas Central Committee at this point, that if the people of Georgia could bo convinced that " The Little Giant " bad any chance of carrying several Northern Slates, there would be no doubt of ouch a combination between the eunservative men of Georgia as would give it against Breokinridge The entire delegation In the present Congress, in cluding Senators Iverson and Toombs, are ranged upon the side of the Muntenia& Among those who are assisting Stephens in his great struggle aro the following distinguished Democrats: Col. Cumming, Judge Warner, ono of the ablest jurists in the State, Loehrano, late an adherent of Brock inridge, Hon. Jas. L. Seward, Nevins, Litton Stephens, (brother of A. IL 8.,) who resigned his judgeship to go upon the stump, and Col. Gardiner My own opinion is that Georgia will go for Brook- Inridge, In Alabama thee:4oloA la waged with extraor dinary animation: Mr. Yancey has not proved to he as fortunate a leader as was expected. Many of those who have been opposed to him in hie Sen. Mortal aspirations have taken ground against him, and the most sensible mon of the State have no hesitation in declaring that it will go for Bell. The prospect of a combination between the friends of Bell and Douglas in this State he cheering. The entire delegation in the present Congress, inolu ding the two,Senatore,- have taken ground for Breokinridge, with the exception of Goo. 8. 'Out ten and Williamson Babb, wbp have as yet taken "no open, position, but are believed to be for Douglas. The reaction in' the State is re ported to be tremendous: In counties where it was difficult to find more than two or three Dou glas men they now almost equal the Breokin- Maws. A combination tuitween the friends of Bell and Dooglas is negotiating, and if it be made the Dieuttionista admit that It will be fatal to their ticket. 'ln upper Alabama Douglas is very strong, and in the State twenty-two pipers hate his name at their mast-held.'' In' Ndrth" Alabama Medina.

Parsons, Alei.White , Columbus Lee, and other", ere allon the strunp,whlle in fionthern Ala• barn Forsyth, General Sanders "and Pennington do great and good work. In Mississippi, that remarkable man, Henry S Foote, whose speeches in New York and Pennsyl vania wore followed by.the noblest vindloations of Douglas in Virginia, has taken the stump and is oarrying the war into Africa. He will make as complete a eanvass of the State as he did in 1850 when ho was Olmsted Governor over the disunionists and won victory after one of the hardest fought political battles. De will be aided by General Matthews, Franklin Smith, Hon. John Calhoun, and Hon. Mr. Kenyon. The Bell men aro said to have made a proposition that the Douglas men shall unite with them, and that, in the event the State is carried against the Breckinridge ticket the electoral vote shall be cast for either Bell or Douglas, to elect without the intervention of the House of Repro eentatives. General Foote's relation to the American party enables him to address the Americans with great effect, and will no doubt eompel a combination between the friends of Douglas and Bell. The Breckinridge men at this point assort that there is not the slightest doubt of Louisiana going for their ticket over both Bell and Douglas. The Democratic delegation in Congress, including the two Senators, have taken ground for Breokinridge, except Hon. John E Boul!goy, of the First, and Hon. Milts Taylor, of the Second district, who aro in favor of, Douglas. Bonligny, Conrad, Secre tary of War under Fillmore, ex-Mayor Stith of New Orleans, all connected with the opposition, state that in case of a fusion between the friends of Bell and Everett they will carry the State. Notwithstanding the boasts of the Corrstitutroo, Kentucky will undoubtedly go for Bell. My let ters received this morning from Louisville aware me that Mr. Breokinridge will be beaten out of sight, although it is possible that he may poll a larger vote than Douglas. The Democratic dele gation in the present Congress have taken ground for Breokinridge, with the exception of John Young Brown, of the Fifth district, who is stumping the State for Douglas. The Americans, led by Crit tendon, Anderson, Moore, Prentice, James Jack son, and other well-kndwn orators, are confident of giving Bell a plurality of from 15,000 to 20,000. lion. Leslie Coombs, the newly-elootod clerk of the Court of Appeals of the State, has appointed Mr. Bolling, the late Douglas candidate for the Same office, his chief officer, which is an indication that there is the best understanding between the friends of Bell and Douglas in that Commonwealth, Blanton Duncan, well known in Pennsylvania as an efficient canvasser and as a liberal wealthy man, together with a number of ethers of the same politics, aro about to stump Indiana and Illinois in favor of 801 l and Everett, to es to secure those States, if possible, for Douglas. There seems to bo no doubt that Bell will carry Tennessee by from 15,000 to 20 000 majority. The State is canvassed by Col. William H. Polk for Douglas, Langdon C. Haines for Breckinridge, and Bailie Peyton for Bell. All unite in pronouncing 001. Polk's victory over his opponents at Memphis a grand one. The Douglas clubs of the city escorted him, and presented him with a massive gold-headed cane for his eloquent efforts in behalf of Douglas. lion. George W. Jones, H. M. Waterson, J. Enos Walker, Judge Yerger, lion. W. T. Brown, and others, are aiding him upon the stamp. Missouri will no doubt go bye large plurality for Douglas. The friends of the latter claim that the Breckinridge vote will not exceed that thrown for Lincoln, while the 801 l men are strongly disposed to throw their influence to Douglas. Mr. Rust; of Arkansas, who addressed a large Douglas meeting at Lancaster, Virginia, reports nine newspapers as suppoithig Douglas in his State, and a strong reaction against Brockinridge. !At the late election the Federal and State Administrations were entirely routed, and an end has been put to the Johnson family, which has controlled Arkan sas polities for eo many years. It is believed that the friends of Belli and Douglas will combine to de feat Breokinridge. Mr. Rust canvassed thoroughly seventeen of the largest counties in the State. In Texas there are six papers *:.r Douglas. Go nand Hamilton, Colonel Forbes Britton, Mr. Jones, of Bastrop, late competitor of General Hamilton, anti others, are actively canvassing for Douglas; but it is confidently believed that a com• ,bination between the friends of Douglas and Belt, which is about to be made, will defeat Breokin ridge. Such a combination and such a belief are entertained in regard to Florida. OCCASIONAL. Italian Opera. The Sisters Natall made a second appearance, at the Academy of Music, on Saturday evening. When we say that they had even a warmer re ception and more enthusiastic applause in " Lu oresia Borgla" than In 4, Il Trovatore," wo simply record what la as creditable to their talent, as to the appreciative ability of the public in their own city of Philadelphia. The house, it must bo observed, was not oroel. ed. This may bo attributed to several callers, some of which we shell here mention for the bene fit of the management. In tho first place, then, it is most unreasonable to expect that Gun the warmest admirers of opo ratio performances can so appropriate their time, and so regulate their engagements as to attend, night after night, at the Academy of Music, espe cially when nothing bat familiar operas aro given. The engagement of the Natell would, doubtless, induce many, even at an inconvenience, to attend when they appeared. But we had them sandwiched-in, as it were, with Sig norina Patti, on alternate nights. Opera, thrice a week, would permit of attention being paid to the Claims of Society—but here, from Wednesday last to this evening !newly°, we have five opera nights, one after the other (with the ne. cossary pause last night,) and we ask what oppor tunity does this permit for the opera-going class to partake of or to give evening parties ? We may be told that heavy expenses of the managers ren der it necessary thus to give as many performances as possible ; but this is a matter bearing upon their own till, and cavalierly negativing the con venience of the public, who naturally will exclaim toujours perdrsr, when ouch an excess of opera is forced upon them. Secondly, the charge of fifty cents:extralfor reserved seats is looked upon, by a large portion of the public, as something of en ex action. Many of them grumble at it, and pay ; many more grumble, and do not go. Lastly, the public have been waiting for the ep peerance of the glorious company of "lyrical stare," liberally promised on the programme of the present season. Of this great array only three have appeared, and the Management, in yester day's papers, advertised Wednesday as last of the season. Only two !—for the engagement of the Natal( sisters was only a fortuitous and for tunate accident. Among those promised were Madame Colson, Signora Ines Pabbri, Madame Cortesi, Signor Busiani, Signer Amodio, and others. As yet only Patti, Brignoli, and Errant, out of a long list of " stars," have sang. Let the Manage, moat seriously consider these points, and if, as Captain Outgo used to say, they will "make a note of 'era," the result may be to their advan tage. Before noticing the performances on Saturday evening, we have to touch upon a matter personal to Signor Baguet!. In our last notion of the Opera we wrote that Signor Brignoll " was so unpelite, it is whispered, as to decline taking the part of Montleo in It Trevatere, with them (the Na tali,) on Thursday evening." We gave the on dit which floated about the town, the actual belief being that Drivel( bad declined singing until after he had heard the above•named prime donne at rehearsal. We are now informed, on the part of Signer Moon, that the rumor is unfounded, and that so far from declining toeing, ho considers him self to have some cause for dissatisfaction with the Management in not having cast him fur Maurice, which is a rile precisely in his line. In the °pets of t' Lucretia Borgia," two ele ments aro represented—love and jealousy La erezta is represented as feeling great mater nal affection for Genuara, who is her eon, unknown in that relation by himself, because un taknowledged by her until the last moment of the performance. On the other baud, Genual o is 'mound by an earnest desire to discover his pa rentage, and though be is interested in Lurrezta, his tender regard for her. avowed in Act 1., is en. tirely secondary to his love for the unknown mo ther whom he seeks. When, at the close of Act Lucretia is taunted and insulted by the indignant young nobility, and Gelman, dlcuovers her to be a Borgia, whatever softer sentiment he might ca sually have entertained for her, evanishos at once, and henceforth Luerezia is nothing more to him but an object of abhorrence. Hero, we may pause to notice that Luoresia Borgia, as popularly presented to us upon the dra matte as well as the lyrical stage, is oonsidernbly different from the Luoresia Borgia of actual and reliable history. She had the misfortune to belong to a had. brood,—her father has a wretched cha racter, anti Quasar Borgia, her brother, was about as bad as bad could be. She was handsome, ac complished, fond of the Fine Arts, such a lover of literature ste to be familiar correspondent of Car dinal /limbo, charitable, and even religious. Alphonse, Dna de Beveglia, her third husband, wee assassinated without ber complicity, and her next and last spouse, Alphonse d'Este, Due do Fer rara, loved her tenderly, as Indeed he bed 0111160, frequently trusted her with affairs of state, taking her advice 'on Italian politics, and aometlmes letting her to administer sovereign power in his absence, This is the Alphonlo of the Opera.—The way in which she has become dratnittleally infamous is readily explainable. In lasa, Victor Hugo, then in the flush of his popu larity; wrote " Menke Borgia," an historical drama of the Romantique school, in opposition to the traditionary drama of the old Classloal school of the Theatre Prompts. In this, to make his plot effective, be misrepresented the character of his heroine. No sooner was Hugo's play published then Donizetti, the composer, laid hands upon it, and adopted the dramatist's vlOl9 of the character of Linaresia. In the same year with the appear ance of Victor Hugo's play in Parte, was the pro duction 'of Donizettre opera at Milan. lie must have written the mtudo with great rapidity. The feeling of Revenge, which it one of the key notes of " Lucretia Borgia," is exhibited by the heroine, and • also by Duke Alphonso, her hue band. She has been publicly insulted, by some unknown cavalier having stricken the initial let ter from her name of "Borgia" over her door, and thereby diminishing it to 44 Ores," which in timated that her conduct was infamous. She de sires revenge, and in this mood complains to her husband, and compels him to an oath, which he only too readily gives, that death shall be the punishment of the offender. Previously the Duke has ascertained that person to be Gennaro, of whose relation to Lucrezia he is ignorant, and whom he believes to be her lover. The offender is 'brought in. Lucrezia, who recognizes him, is horror smitten, and vainly solicits his pardon from the Dude. Then follows that splendid scene where Lucrezia is compelled to assist in giving poison to her son, and the following finale of the Aot, where she eaves his life by an antidote and flight. The lyrical drama has few scenes more striking than these two. In the last act, Lucrezia, still carrying out her revenge upon those who had insulted and exposed her at Venice, has their wine drugged with poison, and their graves prepared. Among the revellers is Gonnaro, who also partakes of the poisoned drink. Lucrezia entreats him to save himself by swallowing what remains of the antidote, but, from a loyal feeling to his friends, he refuses, until, at last, she tells him that she is the mother he so much yearned to 5e...---but the chill of death is in his veins, and he dles before her eyes• Nor does she long survive. In this piny the character of illaffio Orains is introduced, chiefly, it would seem, for the purpose of singing a Bacchanalian song, in the last Rot. It was the charming execution of this song, by ignore Alboni, on her first engagement in Lon don, during tho Jenny Lind mania in 1847, which immediately made it popular. No one has yet ap proached her voice and execution in this. Fran cesca Natali, who was the Mali° Omni of Satur day ovbning, sang this triadtsi extremely well,— but the want of depth in her lower notes was per ceptible. The acting, as well as the singing of Agnes Na tali, as Lucrezia, was all that could be desired Her voice alone would win admiration, as her act ing alone would interest the feelings. Tho combi nation is very fine. Compare this young lady with Ormaniga, now Mre. Albites, who had considera ble dramatic, ability, but—whatever she may hare() been a Boom of years ego, in her youth—really had not throe good notes in her voioo while singing in America. From first to laat, Agnes Natall faith fully represented each fluctuation and variety of the feelings—tenderness, revenge, remorse, and the terrible agony of baffled alms. Her first applause was fairly won by the eavatina in Act I , Mentre gemo," and the mournfully tender " Ama tue ma dre," was as fine and expressive in another way. The awful conclusion, where Luereva is exposed to the scorn and contempt of him, whom of all men ho swished to think well of her, was very grand. So, too, in the next aot, her transition from the concentrated fury of deadly revenge, to the wild appeals for mercy from Alphon.vo, was noble; and she sang "Oh, a to bade"—that awful warning against what a provoked Borgia could do—much as Medea might have deliveredit, in her wrath. Groat truth of acting, too, and groat force of song. in the scene where Gennaro was poisoned before her eyes. Then, too, when the Dude retiree, thinking the fell deed accomplished, the vivid rapidity with which she sang the "Malice," as she proffered the antidote to Gennaro,--the persistency with which she urged him to take it,—and the trium phant aspect of success and opposition which she presented to the Dude when he returned to find his victim gone. These are great points;—she made them all. In the last act, we liked her less, though her " Wed', ah m'odi," urging Cennaro to savo him. self a second time by the antidote, was as effective as any other song in the opera. Bat the previous act seemed to have a little exhausted her, as well it might. Brignoli, as Gennaro, sang very well, and made several attempts to act. But his action, it s truck us, was Invariably of the wrong sort in the wrong place. For example, his "Di pesaatore Ignobile" wee song with a sort of bravura action—so to speak. lie sang it with exquisite sweetness. Brignoli really tdok unusual pains, and merited all the applause he won. We cannot say that nothing In life became him like the leaving it, for he died with such an awfully awkward fall that few of the spectators could resist smiling. Signor E. Barili, as the Du4e (vice Amcdio). did his beat; that is, he noted twenty times better than our fat friend, but did not approach his pow* as a baritone. The principal performers were called before the audience after each act and at the close of the opera. This evening, Signorina Patti takes her leave and her benefit in. , La Traylate," and the Sisters Natili will have a final appearance and benefit on Wednesday. WALNUT -STRUT THBATISE.—This evening Mies Caroline Riohings, assisted by Mr. Peter Riohings, commences a limited engagement here.
