vocates of peace are aware, and have been, that in
addition TO meeting whatever arguments canbe brot
against the doctrines they advocate, they have to
contend with the habits and customs, and long
cherished sentiments OF society. In such sirug-
gle, their consolation is this: if they have imboed
any error in this matter will sooner or later come
to nought; and they have SO much confidence IN
their own hearts as to believe that they shall al
any and all times be ready to abandon IT when they

NATIONAL THEATRE.

We attended the opening Of the Theatre on Mon
day evening, and were glad to find it fully attend
ed by fashionable and highly respectable audience,
and to witness the noble performance ofthe "godike
Cato" by Mr.. Vanderhof,-an actor who disdains
to elicit applause by stagetrick, and therein shows
himself an accomplished master Of his art His de-
lineation of The character IS altogether intellectual
and the delight experienced by the audience is pro-
duced by thorough and critical knowledge of his
author, which enables him to depict the virtues of
Cato, and the beauties of this fine dramatic poem,
with effect that enehants and often eectrfes his
audience. In the fourth act the paternal feeling he
displayed upon hearing of the death Of his Mar
Gus, and the whole of the fifth act are masterpieces
of his tronic talent. What could be more sublimely
given than the beautiful soliloquy on the Immorta-
ty of the Soul What could be more touching and
natural than the dying scene!
|, The impression which the eminent actor has
made on the public will doubtless ensure him great
houses during his short sojourn among us.
We were glad to see some old acquantances, par
icuarly those pleasing and Interesting actresses;

A GOOD MOVE.

We arc gratfed in being able to state that the
Maine Bank has resumed the payment Of as bias !"
specie The step is highly credable 10 this nstin-
ton which has uniformly stood as high in the conil-
dence Of the public any other in the State or
nation II is as much for the interest of the Banks,
as It is for the community, that specie payments
should be resumed generally at the earliest Practl-
cable day-and so far as the Banks Of this State are
concerned we do hesitate say that they are in
situation, and are disposed, 10 resume as soon as
circumstances will admit. The good example which
the Maine Bank has set will not be without its iniiu
ence-and were it not for the cured su5Srrtehey 10
Boston which the tendency of trade imposes, would
be speedily followed BY all the Banks N The S'ae
which have ever suspended-EastcrH Argus.
Were it not for the "curscd SubserUiency'
to loco focoism, (which the tendency OF inc
Sub-treasury imposes" the "good cxalnpss
which the Maine Bank has set" would Dc
speedily followed by all the Banks in the
country indeed, the suspension of specie
payments never would have occurred.
