cred from the wound which he inflicted on his
throat. A letter Of the same date, from the Vi
cinity of Cinthianna, where ne is confined,
says that the pretended attempt upon his life,
wa, intended as pretext for the executive to
grant him pardon, based upon his dying de-
NAL of guilt But the deep laid scheme had
failed Of its design upon the people, and eonse.
quently was abandoned by the Governor.
Since the father must now be convinced, tina,
the world will ever believe in the guilt Of his
son, and that there can be no hope of wipins
of the stain by the verdict Of jury, it is his
business to grant pardon and send the mise.

MR.. MACREADY.-This distinguish
cd TragedIan made his first appearance
before an American audience last evening
and such an audience has rarely been
seen. The Park Theatre was filled to o.
verflowing, and we never beheld one whose
feelings we're SO strongly enehained. On
his entrance he was greeted by round OF
the loudest applause, which continued for
some time. lie was evidently cmbarrass-
ed, but it did not prevent display Of his
tragic powers, which, in our opinion, are
equal, If not superior TO any we have ever
witnessed. We will not attempt any de-
scription Of his delineation OF :he character
of Virginius, but leave IT to more able pens.
His performance fully realised the great
expectations tn at had been formed of his a
biities.
Mr.. Macrcady's next appearance will be
tomorrow evening, in the Character OF
Macbeth.

Presidential Election. Great efforts are
made in different parts Of the Union to ex-
cite the People with reference to the next
Presidential election, which is yet more
than two years distant. Hitherto the TO-
mentation does not seem to have been eff
fectual. The good, healthy sense of the
country resists what is prcmature and
finds respite from the stimulus of acrimo-
nious humors and violent passions, both
salutary and grateful. In proportion as
the People allow themselves to be inflam-
ed, will be the irregular agitation of the
next Congress, and Of course, the waste
or preservation Of the time of that body
and the public treasure in money and char
acter.
