The NEW OPERA HoUsE.--Several contradic-
tory statements have appeared, regarding the
new opera house which is shortly to be opened
in Chambers street. As to the company, we
fear the opening will be pretty much Of failure
but the house iself is certainly every thing that
could be desired. There is not a heater or more
commodious theatre in the United States. Il is
to be finished and draperied in the Elizabeth han
style, now 30 popular among our fashionables-
who, il is understood have taken particular inte-
rest in the new concern. Its success, however,
will be very limited, if it depend entirely on that
class for its support.-N. Y. Aurora.

RICH.
or silence,


AT Locofoco convention recently held in Tip
pecanoe county, Indiana, a friend Of Mr.. Cass
moved a resolution 10 the following effect -
/" Whereas, General Lewis Cass emigrated to
the West from New Hampshire in early life
with his knapsack on his back, and unsheathed
his sword in repelling the IDdians from our
Northwestern frontier, and iE fighting against
the British during the last Var: Therefore, re-
solved, That he ought TO be supported by the
Democratic party for President of the United
States" brother Loe6foco moved to amend
the resolution\ y~sfriking out the name Of
/" Lewis Cass," and inserting the name Of g Mar
tin Van Buren, which motion, after an animated
discussion, prevailed Some one called for the
reading OF the resolution as amended: where
upon, the secretary, in a loud voice, commenced
reading" Whereas, General Martin Van Buren,
emigrated to the West from New Hampshire in
early life with his knapsack on his back, and
unsheathed his sword IN repelling the Indians
and fighting against the British J" BY the time
the secretary had got thus far, the absurdity of
The thing became SO manifest, that the same
Locofoco who moved the amendment sprang to
his seat, exclaiming g Tut, TIL, int, Mr.; Chair

on the table," and there it was laid accordingly.

LOCOFOCO CONVENTION IN LOUISIANA
aHARMONYn AND ,BLASPHEMY.

The " Harmonious Democracy of Louisiana
assembled in Convention at New Orleans, on
Monday the 9Th of January, and organic d by the
appointment Of Judge SCoTT President, seventeen
Vice Presidents, and as many Secretaries Van
Buren, was declared to be their choice for Pres-
dent, by vote of 80 to 80. OF the harmony"
that prevailed, the Tropic thus speaks
"Never, in all our experience, have we seen a
more disorderly discordant, and uproarious scene,
than was witnessed on Monday night, when the
harmonious Locofocoism of Louisiana found itself
assembled within the walls of the State house.
Motion was piled upon motion, and resolution upon
resolution, and as many tongues as were going at
the Tower of Babel, were in full play at once
Confusion reigned supreme, and stamping, yelling
and Kissing formed as lnelodous concert as
could be got up by the best band of cowbellians in
the land.'
Col Isaac T. Preston, the Attorney General Of
the State, made speech, in which he outraged de-
cency morality, and religion, by the blasphemous
declaration that-Jesus Christ sUas the best Of
Democrats, and the first erpoander Of Locofsco
Democracy!
On this, the Tropic very justly remarks, If
such declaration does not shock and disgust
every respectable man in the State, we confess
ourselves at a loss to know what will"

AN ATTEMPT TO ROB THE CREEK AGENT.-An
attempt was made about the 18th ultmo, to rob
Capt Dawson, Creek Agent, while he was on his
way to his agency, with $4,000, to pay off the
Creek annuities, &c. 9.8
1t was upon the second night after he left the
Choctaw Agency, and was in camp fourteen miles
from Fort Coffee when some of the escort who
went down the creek short distance, just after
dark, saw about IL or Is men; supposed to be
Cherokees J they Immediately returned, put out
the fires, and mounted guard. The night was
dark and rainy; and about one o'clock, man was
seen in dark coat with handkerchief around
his head, creeping towards the wagon. Mr..
Moore, of Fort Smith, who was then on guard
hailed him; he turned and run of, and M. fired
The rest of the party rose, and all remained
watching through the night. but were not again
molested. AS it was known that Capt d. had
along the Creek annuities, there is no doubt It
was intended to rob him, but finding the escort on
the alert and determined to protect the funds,
abandoned the attempt. ~ F se
Capt. Dawson applied to Gen. Taylor for mil
itary escort, but the general refused to furnish
command unless Capt. D. would hire horses for
these infantry men to ride along with an or soa O.
on. 1t is fortunate, however, that Capt Armstrong
authorized Capt D. to hire an escort of citizens
to protect this Government money. rt,6
This shows the necessity of mounted troops,
even at Fort Smith. Infantry cannot operate out
of theft garrisons, even to escort public funds.
