LAnoRnE,s CONCERT.

Madame l.aborde's concert was tashioha-
!, bly, attended last evening, sustry 40 The
weather was. II Is the first time we have
,.ever heard this artistic She Is worthy Of all
that has been said in her favor. We have
heard all the prime dome who ever were
in the United States, except Traiii, and we
think Madame Laborde stands decided. y
next to Signora Cher Rossi and Mademo'-
sele Caloe, and that Is position which, IN
OR opinion, no one ever in this country sas
been able 10 approach Taianeli and La
borde do not appear to us to be very lelicl :
tous in the concert room, Win good Or
gans, they attempt too much, and are too
loud. Were they to restrain Their aldor,
they would give more satisfaction. IN alnll
opera, they must be very effective. Wnal
is remarkable in Madame Laborde, her
whole compass Of voice is perfect, except
two oil heruppcr notes, which appear to be
slightly yelled We nnhesltatlngly pro-
nounc her to be the very best artistic, who
has ever been in Washington since we have
been here, and that is nearly seven years
and If she gives another concert, we tell ON
fair readers and every body else, that they
ought not to lose the opportunity Of hearing
such an extraordinary woman as Madame
I.aborde Us. ~stE&

necessary for them to establish another paper
here for that purpose. There is no need Of
pursuing this theme further, because the
emergency which Mr., BRowS predicts, will
never arise.
But to ascrbe TO the friends of the Repab-
lie, the nelarious purpose Of ejecting Mr..
CLAYTON from the cabinet, is the height Of
absurdity. We do not care who may at
tempt such a labor, he will fail, ignominoas-
y fail, and upon the broad principle o! com
mon sense, il nothing else, being the staple
commodity Of those engaged in getting mp
the Republic, we run the hazard Of pro-
nounting the design ascribed to them to be
libel upon their good judgment. We say,
we care not who may attempt TO drive Mr.
CLAYTON, OF any other member Of the cabi-
net, from the councils Of Gen. TAYLOR, he
will fail, mserably fail in his attempt; and
for the simple reason, that honesty Of pur-
pose binds them to the old Chief, and TO
themselves We defy all the combined
powers Of the opposition, great and small, IN
or out Of the Wing party--if indeed there
be any within--to disturb the harmony e1-
isting between the President and his cahi-
net, and among themselves We know what
We say,
The ascripton to Gen TAYLOR Of hostile
feelings toward Mr. CLAYroN, is, perhaps,
the most diabolical falsehood, that has been
uttered by the opposition, unless it be the
unblushing assertion pf Mr.. Brown, that
Gen. TAYLOR is determined TO have a
paper Of his own ard bidr his time" This
is The chief Of the opposition Hes--pardon rs,
good reader, for using SO offensive word,
but 40 the Union says, we must call spade,
spade He is dependent upon no public
journal He is responsible only to God and
the people, for the discharge of the duties Of
his Office, and il any man or men, either in
or out Of the Wing party, shall dare to
show their teeth" against the old Hero,
there are thousand journals, among which
the National Wig will not he the last, il
| It's the least, to make an issue with his OPP
ponents and carry il right to the country
for trial.
| II there be any persons calling them
selves friends Of the administration who
really think Of Mr.. CLAYTON, as Mr..
BRowN says they think, then we have
to say-they are enemies in disguise.
They may as well cease their thoughts, lol
they cannot disturb the confidence Of Gen.
TAyEoR in Mr.. CLAYTON, nor the conf
dence of Mr.. CLAYTON in Gen. TAYLOR.
Gen. TAYLOR is not uneasy at any opposi-
ton he may meet with. lie is used to OPP
position, and we predict, he will overthrow
any opposition that may be brought against
him and his Cabinet lie and they are
daily and hourly growing stronger ans
stronger in the affections Of the masses oil

masses. He and they are a tower o.

THE PRoscRIP1IONIsTs.

The Union contends, that the Democratic
party never prescribed men for their poll
tiral opinions sake. The efrontery Of such
claim is, perhaps, without parallel in the
annals Of politics. A valued friend has
kindly furnished us with the following ey-
tract from the United States Telegraph Of
January 18th, 1929, giving an account Of a
feast held in this city by the Democrats Of
those days, from whom the Democrats Of the
present day claim lineal descent. In re-
producing this extract, we have no purpose
Of rejecting upon the President and Vice
President Of that feast, in their present per-
sonal or political relations. Our sole OBJ
jecti prove that the Democratic party was,
and is'a prosrriptive party in principle and
in practice, and that they unblushingly avow-
ed the doctrine and the practice, and sought
to defend and support il by the most revolt
ing arguments and sentiments, as will be
seen by the toasts given in the extract
