M. JULLIEN,S LAST AND GREATEST
TRIUMRH. ".

What the great Marlborough, what Napo-
leon was in war, Julien is in music. His
troupe is as well disciplined as were their best
battalions. His achievements, though peace
full, are quite as miraculous. They neither
manned q gun or handled musket. They
simply commanded, directed, and led on to
victory. So is it with their brilliant rival.
He neither blows the trumpet, scrapes the
violin, or fills the flute. He stands like a great
magician with his magical wand, and out Of
the clash, conflict, and chaos of contending
sounds, he draws the very soul of music. Now
he draws the soft and melting notes of love-
now the fierce music of relentless war. When
the whole orchestra bursts into the battle
charge, what magnificent blending of various
sounds!-the boom Of the cannon, the roar Of
musquetry, the clang of trumpets, the shrieks
of the wounded the groans of the dying, and
the shouts Of victory, all are represented, and
he the musical spirit
"Rides on the whirlwind and directs the Storm"
His concerts have been a succession Of tri-
umphs. But his concert last night-his bene-
ft--was the most brilliant of the series. The
national theatre presented last night the same
assemhlage of beauty, taste, refinement, and
distinction. that have been drawn out by all his
concerts.
In addition to all these, the President of the
United States and the members Of his Cabinet
paid NJ. Julien the compliment of attending
his final concert last night. When the Chief
Magistrate and the Heads of Departments en-.
tered, they were greeted with applause by the
assemblage. ~.
The performances were more varied than
usual, and elected from the audience the most
rapturous applause We regret that our space
does not admit Of a more detailed notice of the
band, and Of the several admirable solo exhi-
bitions '@

MEssRs. EDIToRs: take much pleasure in
informing you Of the present prospect Of sue
cess of aerial navigation by Mr.. Rufus Porter
4 Co.
Hrial navigation would naturally produce
new necessities in both the arts of peace and
war. | have always thought governments
should be foremost in the manifest desire, and
overturcs of aerial navigation, for the reason
that it would entirely revolutionize the present
economy and practice of warfare, for it is obvi.
Gus that destructive missile, such as has been
in use, called the hand grenand, with other
missiles of improved properties of destruction.
There is one Of those balls now offered at the
War Department and denominated the furies,
as distinction to modes Of destruction in war
apparatus, the inventor Of which is the au-
thor Of two pamphlets on the subject Of steam
aerial navigation, one dated 1888 and the other
1910.
The fire in the Congress library destroyed
all the documents deposited there from Pen.
nington. 1t is to be hoped, for the pre-
sent, that Mr.. Porter & Co. will succeed in
getting sufficient funds to carry out to sue
cessfnl termination his steam fying-ship, or,
more properly, ships.
now moot the possibility, or probability, Of
bringing that subject properly before the next
session Of Congress. There is a standing pre-
MUM offered from the governments Of France
and England for the successful terminus Of
aerial navigation; and why not the United
States? Our Golfers are as flowing as either OF
those governments, and it is to be hoped that
for the glory and strength of the nation, as lib
eral offers will be made by them.
The time will shortly arrive when the work
Of ten men will be equal to ten thousand. Then
the barriers of walled cities will be found to be
childish nonsense. 1t is now designed to re-
place the second pamphlet, dated 1910; and
any gentleman having one of them in his pri-
vate library, would confer favor by present
ing it to the Congress library.
Most respectfully,
JOHN IT. PENNINGTON.

tlities were deferred by the interposition OF the
four powers. Actual hostilities have at length
commenced, and we believe they will not end
without bringing on a general war in Europe,
which will give the spirit of republicanism
chance to make great progress, if it does
not establish itself permanently, on the rnius
of monarchical institutions. Italy, Hungary,
Germany will soon, we trust have another OPP
portunity to break the letters which have bound
them so long, and establish governments which
will sympathize with our own.

THE NEW YORK MEETING.

We published, yesterday, the address adopt
ed by the great meeting Of the national democ-
racy, held in New York on Wednesday even
ing. To-day we lay before our readers the
letters which were read on the occasion, reserv-
ing the speeches for our next issue.
A friend-an able and g-tried democrat
writing from New York on the Gath, says,
"Our demonstration last evening, at the Me-
tropolitan Hall, was truly magnificent. No
such meeting, within doors, has ever been held
in this city. The great hall, which will contain
five thousand persons, was literally full, and
compact in every part it. In numbers, en-,
thusiasm, intelligence, and determination, il
has had no equal. Read the address, speeches,
and letters they embody the prevalent tone
Of our people. Nothing can exceed the tone
and spirit Of the national democracy in this
city. The national principle is predominant
and most potent, and will go forward with a
most glorious energy. 1t has the cordial sym
pathy and cooperation of other States. This
we know by expressions not to be mistaken
from all the adjacent States. It cannot be
otherwise at the south, which has ever advanced
this great principle, and stood by it as the agis
of their constitutional rights. We still cling to
the hope that the President will yet know his
true friends, and recognize the principles on
which they stand, and which they have ever
avowed and maintained. Interested or amb-
tious members Of his cabinet, who hold his ear,
may not understand, or may msrepresent our
position, our aims, our infallible progress, and
the certainty that we shall carry with us the
national sentiment of the country; but time
and results will undeceve him, if not sooner
brought to see things in their true light by his
own sagacity and the promptings of his ante
cedents." 49,.

Letter from Judge Beardsley.

New York, Nov. 10, 1853.
GENTLEMEN: Although must ask to be ex-
cused from addressing the democratic meeting
on Wednesday evening, deeply feel the i'm
portance Of the occasion, and the magnitude Of
the victory just achieved over the freesoilers
and their allies. The contest in which we are
now engaged is but continuation Of that Of
lS48, which resulted, as we all know, in the
defeat of General Cass for the presidency, and
the total overthrow Of the democracy OF the
Union, by the freesoilers Of that day. It is true
that the present freesoil party Of New York is
not composed exclusively Of those who mounted
the Buffalo platform in l948, for while they
have lost largely, as the result Of the election
shows, they have secured some addition to their
numbers by the coalition Of l949; coalition,
let me add, the chief object Of which was to
elevate the leading personages engaged in it,
and to prescribe and put down every man who
had firmly stood by the Union in times ofperil,
and who would not consent to see the demo-
cratic party abolitionized, to serve the purposes
Of those who had not only sought its overthrow,
but who had also aimed their blows ut the
Union ITSELF General Cass and Mr.. Dickinson
were marked objects of hostility, and it was
distinctly agreed that they should be put down
for the common benefit of the contracting
parties--a result which would be not less graf
flying to the freesoilers than promotiye, as was
thought, of the ambitious hopes and designs OF
the other parties to the conspiracy. Such are
the elements Of, and thus was engendered, the
freesoil party Of the present day.
1t may probably be said with truth that no
political contest, confined to q single State, has
ever before SO generally attracted the attention
Of the American people as that which grew up
and assumed shape and form shortly before
the late election. The question was TO be de.
cided whether the democratic party in New
York should be permanently changed from an

CHARLESTON, November 20, 1853. :,
GENTLEMEN: beg leave to acknowledge
the receipt Of your very kind invitation to at
tend and address a congratulatory mass meet
ing of the national democracy ut Metropolitan
hall, in your city, on Wednesday evening next.
l regret that feeble health and the urgency of
professional business will prevent me from ac-
cepting it; but rest assured, gentlemen, that
although cannot be with you in body am
most sincerely with you in spirit. cannot
but rejoice at the recent success Of the regular
democracy in your State-it is the proud vic
tory of principle over error and wrong, and its
happy influences will speedily extend from one
end Of our country to the other. The south is
beginning to be awake to the important struggle
going on in your State, and they deeply and
fully sympathise with the national democracy.
We consider that your victory is our victory,
for we are both battling against the combined
your noble and heroic assertion of our consti-
tutional rights entities you to our deepest graf.
itude. Your disenthralment from the hated
and unholy union with the traitorous Van Blu
rem faction, and the recognition and endorse
ment Of your policy and views by the approx
ing people Of the great State Of New York,
augurs we'll for the future prosperity and sue
cess Of our party throughout the Union, and its
final and triumphant re-establishment over our
common foes-whiggery and abolitionism.
wish you God speed in your noble undertaking.

GENTLEMEN: Although must decline the
invitation to attend your meeting, allow me to
join you in congratulating the democrats Of this
city, and the State at large, on the signal vic
tory which they have achieved in the late cleo
ton. One hundred thousand votes, when our
adversaries said we could get bat a handful
one hundred thousand votes, with the weight of
two administrations, and the patronage Of two
governments against us-a majority over the
freesoiers and their allies-is indeed great
| victory. And it has been won with little either
of organization or effort. 1t is the result Of
spontaneous movement of the "old guard in
vindication of the old land marks of the party.
Our foes, within and without have been dis
comfted; the coalition for spoils has been
broken up; the impertinent interference of the
cabinet at Washington in our local affairs has
been rebnked; the attempt to "abolitionize the
democratic party" has failed; the reign of the
Van Buren, dynasty is at an end, and a brighter
day now dawns on the State and the nation.
One hundred thousand voices, speaking
through the ballot boxes, will inform the Presi-
dent Of what he could not learn from those
around him, that nothing can bear down the
national sentiment of the New York democ-
racy and it is but reasonable to believe, that he
will soon vindicate his own declared opinions,
by selecting counsellors who will stand firmly
on the national platform which bore him so
triumphantly to the head of the government.
But whatever others may do, our course must
be onward. Let us be up and doing. But
while we stand fast by our principles, let us act
with wisdom and moderation. Let the door be
left wide open for the return Of those who have
strayed from US, under the guidance Of bad
leaders, and final triumph over all parties and
factions which may be arrayed against MS is
morally certain.
am very truly yours,

Letter from Ed,cin Cros,cell, Esq.


GENTLEMEN: have had the pleasure to re.
ceive your fattering invitation to attend and
address a congratulatory meeting Of the nation
al democracy, to be held at Metropolitan Hall,
on Wednesday evening.
The result Of the recent election in this State
is one Of the most significant known in our
political history. The national democracy, en- ;.
tering the contest without organization and
without means, and with the utmost power and
appliances of the State and federal governments
arayed against them, have come out of it, at
the test of the ballot box, leading their freesoil
and coalition opponentS, and evidently victo-
rious in the moral Of the result. They have
surprised their friends everywhere by the intre-
pidity of their course, not less than by their
numerical strength; and they have shown how
much easier II is to remove honored and capa.
BILE democrats from official stations, because
they adhere with consistent fidelity to their mn.
tional principles and to democratic friends, who
have ever avowed and maintained them, than
to command the popular approval and support
Rely upon it, this signal victory is the begin
ming ola series, which will leave freesoilism and
its allies, here and everywhere, TO the keeping
ofa few leaders, and place the national democra
cy OF this State in its true attitude Of strength,
elevation and performances.
LUG us"ioCioIic Icpuuhcdn general ConMt
tee and the Young Mems Democratic National
Club, do well to commemorate this gratifying
result, since their well-directed and patriotic
efforts, not less than to the spontaneous move
ment Of the democratic masses, are we greatly
indebted for it. Very respectfully your ODE
