Edwin Forrest.

A letter from Mr.. Marshall, the accomplished
lessee of the National Theatre, announces that
Mr.. Forrest will reach Washington tomorrow to
prepare for his engagement at that establish
ment which begins on Monday evening next.
Great interest has been manifested for months to
know when this eminent actor would appear in
Washington and he has yielded to the wishes of
our citizens and the Representatives in Congress,
and postponed his engagements elsewhere in or
der to crafty his friends at the national metrop-
oils. 1t is not too much to say of Mr.. Forrest
that he is the only great tragedian now living.
| Those who detract from his high talents in his
profession, and from the bold, fervent, and origi
nal style that stamps all his achievements,
forget that he has passed through every or
deal of trial and of criticism. While yet boy,
Edmund Kean saw the master intellect of For
rest; and it is remarkable fact that the Eng
lishman took the earliest occasion to predict the
career which was afterwards brilliantly opened
to the American. Mr.. Forrest played for sixty
nights in London, at the Drury Lane Theatre, to
houses crowded with the intellect and fashion of
the realm. Those who doubt his genius, how
ever, and who reject endorsements like these,
have only to see Mr.. Forrest in Richelieu, in
Lear, in Othello, in Macbeth, andin Richard. lie
treads no other mans path. His school is ex-
clusively his own The cynic is disarmed by the
music of his voice. the power of his eloquence and
the startling novelty with which he beauties his
readings and developes the sense ofthe author. He
dives into the recesses of Shakespeare as into sea
of thought, and brings up to the gaze of men
myriads of diamonds before unknown. Mr.. For
rest adds to all his professional excellencies the
warm heart of a generous and unselfsh friend,
and the manly pride AMI courtesy of well-bred
gentleman; and although greatly abused by
those who do not know him, he excels most men
in the attributes of benevolence, sincerity, and
love of the truth.

The TROUBLE IN RoME.--Mr. Weed, in a re-

The Coming Election.

The Petersburg South Side Democrat says
"No man who surveys with an intelligent eye
the present political condition Of the country,
can pretend to any very great confidence in the
success Of the Democratic party in the next Pres
idential election"
The Democrat is not much given to despond-
ency, and we have no doubt it surveyed matters
with an intelligent eye before it came to this
conclusion. Something will depend upon the
colts brought into the field but we suppose the
Democrat regarded Scott as the Wing champion
of course. So do we.

The New York Demonstration for MIR.
Fillmore.

The New York Demonstration for MIR
Fillmore.
Our respected contemporary of the Union-who
this morning appears on the front seat with the
reins and whip in his hands-is highly pleased with
the Fillmore demonstration in New York, which,
he says, was more imposing, in respect to num-
bers and enthusiasm, than was anticipated; and
he thinks the fact has been made clear by it that
"the Southern Wings, in preferring Mr.. Fillmore
to General Scott, by no means stand alone"
1t is very singular that hearty demonstration
was not anticipated in favor of candidate whose
good qualities no one disputes, and who, exercise
it as he may, it is known by all, will have tn,
whole patronage of the government in his hand:
for nearly year to come Mr.. Fillmore may
not think of this, and he has no doubt many
friends who would scorn its influence yet it has
its influence. But standing in the position he
does and possessing the respect and good will of
all the Wings of the country-even of the most
ardent of the friends of General Scott-saying
nothing of the attractions Of such men as Gentry,
&c.-it ought surely to be no wonder that very
clever demonstration" should be made.
One highly significant fact, however, should still
be noted. 1t is, that Fillmore demonstration
is gratifying to the Union and all others Of the
knowing ones in the Democratic party As they
tcish TO be beaten, they will Of course rejoice in
our elevating the man most likely to do it
