Iheatricai-M usicai-Ihe Ncw Era.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In your leading article of FRIDAY, you advert to
the production at the Park Theatre ofthe sacred
drama OF the =" Israeles in Egypt" and call the
event new era in the modern stage, as combining
the religious feeling with the fascination of music,
and the gorgeous display of scenery and dresses
1t does, indeed, bring to mind those early days of
the world, when the stage went hand in hand with
religion, and was its most powerful aid when the
profession of actor honored in proportion its
mental requirements, not as it now is, a badge of
disgrace. There have been many causes acting
through long period OF time, which have produced
this great change in the estimation in which actors
are held; but none more powerful more degra-
ding, than the modern practice of appropriating
portion of the theatre for the accommodation of in
famous womcn-making the theatre, which should
be a temple Tor refined amusement and instruction,
an asslgnahon house, convenience forthose whose
presence is pollution. How can actors or managers
expect that their profession will be treated with that
respect certainly due to their Intellectual efforts
while this practice continues Z How can Mr. Simp-
son expect TO be rewarded by the patronage of fam-
lies, while he thus opens his theatre for the bases

ton OF sacred drama in temple devoted to the

Mr. Simpson complains of the want of patronage.
OF the decline In the taste for the drama. Let him
seek In his own management of the theatre the
cause The taste for the drama is strong in this
community, and as improved and refined as strong.
II has gone beyond and above the capacity of the
actors and the managers who minister to it, 1t is
not satisfied with baet-dancing, with tinseed dra-
mas. or scenic comedies nor with the miserable
lneficiency of the present company. 1t requires
good, sound plays of the old, and some of the new
authors, well played-not only in the principal parts,
but throughout, SO as to present perfect whole.
Let these requirements be met-abolish the third
her-make the theatre respectable-let it no longer
be disgrace TO the profession and the professors,
the city, and society in general 1t is the deliberate
opinion Of many of the most enlightened and ardent
lovers of the drama, that would be better to have
all theatres closed, than to have them open as they
are now managed.
We call on Mr.. Simpson to make the first move-
ment towards regenerating the stage by abolishlng

Important Political Movement - General
Conspiracy or the AbOIitiOnists to Defeat
henry Clay and the Whig Party-The
Finger of General Scott


We have received variety of abolition letters
and papers from Albany, and also from Massachu-
sets, which taken together, disclose one of the
most astounding political movements, to overthrow
the wing party and to wind up Henry Clay's pros
poets, that ever conceived by Taleyrand, or
a MachlaveH
It's now very certain that the aboltoniss through
out New England New York, and the North
Western States, have been organizing and operating
for six months, by conventions, meetings and nomi-
nations IN order 10 overthrow the wing party and
10 give the coup dc grace to Henry Clay. The de-
feat of the wings in the recent election in Ohio
was produced by the abolition movement, and by
separating from the wing party the abolition vote
The recent attempt of an abolitonist in Indiana, to
10 oppose the career OF Clay, springs from the same
general movement. In Massachusetts--in New
York, where elections are now pending, the aboli-
uonists are moving and operating with great effect
and great force. We will only give to-day certain
extracts this point, containing their nominations
and VIEWS copied from the leading abolition organ
IN this State, which is published in Albany.

IHE GREAT COUNTY MEETING AT TAMMANY HALL.
Great preparations are making to kick up row
at tins meeting next Tuesday and it is highly pro-
ba5e that desperate bands of men may be there,
VINO VIII endeavor TO create general row and riot.
Mike Walsh will probably make speech, and this
VIII be the commencement of the game. He will
be replied to-oppositon will be commenced to his
movements, and both parties will doubtless be
backed by many who figured at some of the recent
prize fights, and who have formed all sorts OF clubs
Then, it is very probable that the prescribed watch
men will be there, arrayed against Mike and his
forces, and then there will be a regular pitched
battle and, instead OF prize fight between two
men, at Hastings, it will be great prize fight on
a grand and comprehensive scale, between 200 or 800
men aside. 1t will be on wholesale plan-not RETAIL
as between Mccoy and Lilly. Such appears to be
the aspect Of coming events and active preparations
are making for them.
Is not this state of things disgrace to the whole
democratic party, and the whole city We have
seen indictments for prize fights between two per
but here is to be got up large SCALE in
order to decide, by brute force, the merits of the
elective franchise. Now, if there is an honest diff
ference of opinion to the merits of individual
candidates, why not act understandinQly, and let
every mans opinion be heard, and then decide
coolly, without disgracing themselves, disgracins
the city, and dsgracing the whole country by their
brutal exhibitions and riots?
