Correspondence ofhe Ereping Post.
LONDON. March Cd, IS4,

On the 18th Of February, your countrymen, Ed
win Forrest, made his temperance upan the Eng
lish stage after lapse of than seven years, in
the character of Othelo. He was received by full
house, and with right warm and cordial greeting -
His Otbelo, says Of bis critics. is vigorous, and
intensely powerful piece of acting, and he well de-
served the applause which bestowed upon him
most Iavishy. Mr.. Forrest called before the
curtain at the end of the play, and was loudly APP
plsuded Othello announced for repetition
On the "Wednesday following, Mr.. Forrest acted
OtheIlo with increased effect but IT was matter Of
special remark that with every ouburst OF applause
from The audience, there was manifest disposition
with certain persons to suppress it. The play ended,
and MIR Forrest was again called 10 receive the usual
bonors.
The next performance was Macbeth, and upon
this occasion the enemies of Mr.. Forrest were regu
larly organized, and stationed in different parts ofhe
theatre, TO be ready at given signal to do their dirty
work, Again, as upon the last night of Othelo,
whenever the audience broke out into applause, il
Immediately busbed by these merccnares. Ii
quite apparent that Mr.. Forrest felt this, as it
seemed to have chilling effect upon bis acting and
somewhat diminished his energy. He aroused him
SELF however, again for the last act and the curtain
fell at the end of the play amid loud applause min
gled with the Kisses of the organized faction Mr..
Forrest was loudly called for but would not appear
In the mean time the people, who nine times in
ten right, the nsdious and dastardly attempt
to put Forrest down, and they resolved it should not
be. Msckbeth was announced again for Monday;
the consequence was full house, which greeted the
American Tragedian with the warmest applause and
cheered him most enthusiastically throughout the
performance. Mr. Forrest never acted better. He
was called out, and received the renewed cheers and
enthusiasm of his delighted audience Macbeth has
been acted twice since, and is still announced for
presentation
This malignant attempt on the part Of this theatre
cal clique to put down an American actor, is most
grateful return certainly for the Kindness and indeed
enthusiasm, with which the citizens OF the States
have ever received the English performers. Bot
there is a feeling, deny it they may which to de-
gree obtains in all classes of English Society-s feel

Forrest first appeared here, this hostile feeling was

THE CONSTITUTION AND THE UNION.

The glor Gus union OF these States was a result
brought about by much anxiety and toll and con.
sumn.aed IN spirit OF most agnanimous and pa
triotc compromise. The compromises in this com.
pact constitute the very essence OF peace and
happiness as one great nation destroy these and all
the horrors of a civil and merciless war will be the
probable consequence. The patriotic concilia-
lion and orbearspce should actuste that pre-
dominant in fathers, and sctuated them to trans
init to our glorious constitution. We have every
thing to lose and nothing to gain by dsunon.
There never has existed such abom Unable treason
that contemplated and sgltsted by the disunionsls
What will they give US when they have destroyed
present Union Nothing or perhaps worse than
nothing. The mean and covert manner in which the
wings assail union is but another proof OF their
opposition TO our glorious Institutions They dare
moi speak disunion in the open day they sneak
away from the public gaze. and in private circles de-
claim strongly against the South, and talk as II in
earnest of separation. We envy not their patriot
ism We can but feel pity for the man or body OF
men who would aim the asssssins dagger at the vi
tails Of his country.
We have always been taught 10 look upon our
government as the most perfect piece of work ever
effected by frai and errng humanity. That it has
faults we will not pretend to deny for to err is hu
man :" but we can say from our hearts with al
thy faults we love thee still"
When contemplating the trials, the anxiety. the
tears and the blood OF our ancestors spent to erect
md cement the glorious fabric Of our liberty we car
scarce be constrained from wishing Punishment and
ruin upon the traitors who would lay waste our fail
land by dsunon. Surely our fathers blood must be
of little consequence to us if we would by one fell
swoop render null and void all that they accomplish
ed by shedding 1t dropby drop in the dust.
But we have no serious fear of dissolution of the
Union. There is enough of patriotism yet remaining
to save us from such fearful result. The people
are welded TO union as their greatest national bless
upg. The fanatieal faction opposed to union cannot
eject their suicidal purpose. They sink beneath the
dignity of contempt, and their puerile efforts are mol
of nature to create any absorbing fear. The great
wbig parys utter humiliation will tread close upon
the heels Of an open and concentrated opposi-
ton to the union. They know this, and hence their
covert and cowardly growngs against it. They al
ways wished to rule ruin but while one vestige
Of hope remains that they may yet rule they will

not brought to bear against him, and for very obvi
reason, all the principal English actors were then
engaged at Covent Garden Theatre, while Forrest
commended sngly against them (and at much higher
prices) at Drury Lane. Now the principal English
actors have no engagements in London and Mr.. For
rest an American actor has Among these hirellngs
of the press who have joined in the hue and cry
against him is Mr. Foster, the theatrical scrooier
for the Examiner newspaper. He has long held the
honorable position of first joint in one of those great
theatrical tails and with most remarkable hdeiity
does he perform his work. In his labor OF love ne
is sometimes carried beyond discretion, as when ne
attacked Mr.. Forrest, before he had ever acted
in England, this is well Known SO that the malice oil
his pen bears its own aDtidote.
Mr.. Forrest has thus far however, most signay
trumphed his professional foes, and their allies
and should he consent to remain but year longer 10
England he would undoubtedly, to use the words Of
polished writer, be everywhere hailed with sue
cess worthy his eminent abilities.

HON. SIMON CAMERON.

The Lancaster Democrat one of the most able,
fearless and independent Democratic papers printed
in Pennsylvania, in speaking of this geDtleman's
election to the u s. Senate holds the following lam
guage:
"We congratulate the Democracy of Pennsylvania
that the choice has devolved upon one every way
worthy of the distinguished honor which has been
conferred upon him. rAst..
Gen. Cameron Is one of the most talented and en-
ergetic in the State He is vigorous writer, a
good speaker, and perfectly familiar with the wants
and wishes of the people of Pennsylvania. He is
true to his friends; true to his party and has
been firm, faithful and consistent supporter of De-
mocratic men and measures. At the last election,

sleeves and worked for many years as journeyman

account. Business prospered with him; wealth &C
cumulated; but he never forgot that he was once

MISS CUSHMAN IN ENGLAND. d.

PRINCEss's THEATRE.-America has long owed us
q heavy dramatic debt for enticing away from US 50
many of our best actors. She has now more than re-
paid by giving the greatest of actresses, Miss
Cushman This lady made her first appearance before
English audience, at this theatre, last evening" and
since the memorable first appearance of Edmund Kean,
in 1914, has there been such debut the boards
Of an English theatre. She is, ,othoA ercepton the
pery first actress that hare True, have very lady
like accomplished finished atistes, but there is wide
and impossible gulf between them and Miss Cushman
the gulf which divides talent ofthe very high
est order from genius-tha: god-lke gift is Miss Cush

hers that highest reach Of art the celare ar The
character which she chose for her first was
Blanca in Mimans tragedy Fazio, character which,
since the days of Miss ONei actress of any note
has ventured to attempt.
The Blanca of Miss Cushman is not polished as
that of Miss O'NeiI, but it is more intense, more
powerful, more narrowing more true to nature. In
reading the play in the closet is impossible 10 avoid
being struck with the improbabiity of the story. 1t
is scarcely possible to imagine that Blanca can be so
carried away by her jealous feelings not to be
| aware that in denouncng her husband to the autho-
rites the punderer of old Bartolo she not DOOM
ing him to certain DEATH In seeing the actual play
however, this idea never strikes the mind Miss
Cushman by the intensity of feeling which she throws
into the part, completely carries her audience with
her. They feel with her that it is the only means to
tear Fazo from the Of Aldabella and to restore
him to his distracted wife; and, like her, they arr
thunder-struck when they find that he is torn from
Adabela's only to be conducted to the scafold
We know that it is usual these occasions, to ente
into critical notice of the various beauties developed
by debutante but, to attempt this our space
would in the first place be too limited for we shout
