The Theatrical Company of Messrs.

Langrlshe Il Atwater continue TO attract
good audiences every evening at Mazour-
ka Hall. The sterling plays" Charles
the 3D." the "Honey Moon," the " Poor
Gentleman" "Don Caesar de Bazan,"
&c., have been performed in manner
both credtable 10 themselves and salts
factory to the audiences. The Company
have now been here two weeks, and du-
ring that time have not repeated a single
performance. This, for small company,
shows an unusual stock of plays, and all
of them have been well performed. This
company, during its brief stay, has al
ready won golden opinions from the
pleasurc-loving people of St. Paul; and
well they may, for it is certainly ahead of
any travelling theatre that we ever before
knew. Tonight will be performed
Knowles celebrated play of VIM. Tell,
the Hero of Switzerland, and the beauti-
full farce of 1" Who Speaks First?" for
the benefit of Mr.. and Mrs. Atwater.
This is positively the last night they per-
form in St. Paul. You who would see
this really excellent company once more
before they leave will take heed. GA

The Democrat is very angry at our
exposition Of its venality in altering and
giving a wrong credit TO an article which
appeared in that print last week, and at
tempts by its affected Indignation to make
its readers believe it was typographical
error. The editor quotes only just
enough of our article TO leave its readers
under the impression that we charged it
with but one alteration or blunder, which,
ever he may choose to call it. If but
one of the "errors' which we pointed
out had occurred, it would have been
manifest that it was a typographical
blundcr; but when tuo such plumbers
occur in the same article. and each one
was rendered necessary to make the other
appear as If there were no blunder, it
seemed to us that it partook more of de-
sign than accident. Although the Dem
ocrat calls it ga manifest typographical
error" just as if there were only onc)
the statement would appear more proba-
Bile, il he had pointed il out with sufficient
prccscncss to have enabled his readers
to have found out in what article this
error occurred.
The Democratic National Convention
has been in session during the present
week, and nomination ere this time has
probably been made. Who the nominee
is, can hardly be conjecturcd with any
degree of certainty. We have all along
supposed that the probabilities were in
favor Of Gen. Cass, but subsequent events
show that Mr.. Buchanan's chance is at
least equal to that CT Gen. Cass, and if
the friends Of Marcy and Buchanan unite
upon the latter, the result is not quite so
predetermined. 1t makes no difference.
however, who he is, their nominee can
never get electoral votes enough to elect
him.
The M;nnesotian is exceedingly plagued
that the Democrat and kossuth agree in
idea and almost in language, about the
democracy Of railroads. Dem.
Not at all sir. We only quoted the
two sentences to show what similar ideas
great men entertain on kindred subjects.
The editor of the Knickcrbocker thus
announces his intention of publishing a
work in two volumes, composed of copi-
Gus extracts from his Gossip with Cor
respondents. 1t will certainly be a
work worthy of pcrusal, and we can
heartily commend it to the consideration
of our readers. But let the editor speak
for himself:
Friends, old friends, let us impart
fond secret TO you. We wont say that
you mustn't let it so any further be-
cause YOU can pass it on as fast and as
far as you like. There is in the press of
Mcssrs. Applctons volume, to be speedi-
ly followed by another, entitled Knick-
kndcks from an Editors Table, by l..
Gaylord Clark 1t has been PREPARED
at the suggestion of many friends, the ia
vorable judgment of several of whom
would DO honor to far worthier literary
project. During sixteen years, setting
alone or with company in the sanctum, or
circulating in society, we have seen and
heard much to awaken mirth, and felt
much that has awakened tears. Looking
back now upon these records, almost for
gotten, we find that they seem new even
to us, and the old emotions with which
they were originally jotted down come
