by
,this bait,, and any considerable number be in
duced to support the bogus ticket, then, indeed, the
State is lost,- and old Abe' will, in all probability,
be the next President." , _ .
We can make allowances for the difficulties
Under which any honest man must labor, who
'attempts to conduct a Democratic newspaper
while holding an office under the present cor
jupt Administration of the General Govern
inentr:- His interest is alWays in conflict with
his judgment—his poCket with his principles—
his official obligations with, his duties to his
readers; No man in the State has been more
generously indulged by the people around
him' thin, the, very Mr.- Banton who con
ducts the Carlisle Voientesr. 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

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

Additional concerning General Walker
and his Fate.
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

The Presidential Canvass tn the South.
Worrespondertoe of The Press.]
WASIIINGTON, September 22, IMO.
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.

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
