DEAR SIR
Nothing but the absorbing topic politics, is the
order OF the day among all classes in our city, and
to increase the excitement, John Quincy Adams,
as you have doubtlessly perceived, has contributed
his quota of nvective, truth and patriotism, TO the
furtherance Of the party he so warmly espouses. Il
was a bitter one for the democrats last Monday
evening. Their champion was most mercllessly
castigated by ''the old man eloquent" and we
should think when the philippe reaches the old Ro-
man, the Hermitage will not be large enough to
hold him. II the hero OF New Orleans does not I'm.
mediately reply, the cause OF the Pokltes will
sink SO below par. The Locotocos, or Demo
Gratis, or whatever they designated, are wincng
under the lash, and to support their oerng faorc,
are making extravagant bets upon the result OF the
election think they are too sensitive on the oc-
caslon-their party holds as many good men and
true'' as the opposing one and bold heart, with
conscious feeling OF right, VIII go lar 10 WIN the
battle. Don't despair, boys, up and be dong!
Lectures. as stated in my last, are beginning TO
engage the attention of the community The Mer-
camille Library Association celebrated It's twenty
fourth anniversary, on Wednesday, with ali
address by the Hon. John Davis, and poem by
Park Benjamin, Esq. .

occasionally holds forth. He is shrewd disciple

rhapsodies an eye TO the main chance. Lights,
printing, and room rent, are ever paramount III Ms

There has been quite an excitement among our

Mr. Ryder, who we all know Is a fourth rate spe-
cimen OF English provincial actors. The INK

the poorest itlnerants, and the pei sonatlons
of Macready thus show his trickery aud ART, which

unfortunate manager Rodney, will, we fear, be
the victim on the altar OF speculation. The speech
delivered by the tragedian al the Park Theatre,
was to great degree Uor ct preterta nihu. His
heart is not much IN his vocation as he would
induce the public to believe. The almighty dollar
is the god Of his idolatry, and would be chary TO
bet the Price Of ticket to his performances, that

urn containing the heart OF William Shakespeare,
he would not transfer the mortal part OF the dona-

one into British guineas. AT the National FOyttno

regret at his having refused to comply with Mac

believe on good authority, that the auocrat OF
the theatres demanded clear half OF the receipts
every night, and that the prices OF admission be
doubled, to which Pelby would not accede, but
offered him ESQ per night! and the prices TO remain
at their regular standard. On this pointthey came
