then the ticket should be thus formed; but IT
otherwise, then the etshould be headed by
an " American " Of Democratic antecedents,
This question cannot be so well solved else
where as within the nominating convention.
Coming from all parts Of the State, with an IN
innate knowledge of their respective sections
of the State, the delegates themselves, under
their responsibility to those who elected them,
must decide this question
May we be permitted to impress upon the
nominating convention, the vast Importance OF
prudent and harmonious action in the dis
charge Of their duties? An error committed
by them, may be fatal to the present success
of the american Reformation" in Virginia,
and possibly throughout the South. We are
not of those who believe, that one or even a
dozen defeats, can arrest the onward march Of
American principles, but we do believe that at
this critical juncture, our defeat in Virginia,
would materially protract and delay the tri-
umph Of our party, as national party, and
endanger its success in the Presidential cam
paign of 1856, whilst our triumph in Virginia,
at the elections in May, Mould utterly annihi-
late the foreign party" throughout tsS'eoun-
try!
The whole South stand ready to back Vir-
ginia in this great movement Of reform, and, so
sure as our friends in Virginia triumph in the
pending contest, SO sure will follow the over
throw of the combined forces Of foreignism,
demagoguism, and Romanism, in 1856! Upon
the nominating convention, then, rests high
responsibility. Let their proceedings be mark
ed by prudence, caution, and patriotic pur-
pose to subserve no other ends than those
which lie at the foundation of the American
Reformation" Above all let each member of
that Convention bear continually in his mind
that,
UNION IS STRENGTH.

More Prescription.

Messrs Williamson and Cantine were re-
moved few days since from the Third Audi-
tors Office, on suspicion Of some utilization
with the Know-Nothings. Both Of these gen.
tlemen were efficient clerks, and, for aught we
know, good and true Americans. Such men
are obnoxious to the present dynasty. A
Wing and anti-Know-Nothing has been APP
pointed to oil one Of the vacancies, thus exhib-
iting plainly the efforts of the administration
are solely directed against the Americans"
and they seize every opportunity to contract
and form alliances with every rarty, clique and
ism, to secure the succession.

New York Correspondence.

New YoRK, March 8, 1888.
The Opera.--A grand flare up has taken place
at the Academy of Music, and the Opera, under
the management of Ole Bull, has been suspended
Some misunderstanding in relation to the second
concert of Saturday evening, between the musical
director and signorina Vestvali, caused rupture,
the result Of which has been to close the establish
ment Ole Bull is severely censured for his conduct
in the matter, and, at meeting of the Company
held yesterday, resolutions condemnatory of the
course pursued by him were carried with great en-
tbusiasm Thus has terminated, what was antici-
pated would be one OF the most profitable opera
seasons ever known in New York. That the Opera
cannot be supported in Fourteenth street, may now
be set down as fixed fact, after so many failures
as have taken place since the opening of the build
ing.
Foa,ad.--It will be recolected that some two or
three weeks since, mentioned the loss OF some
1000, between San Francisco and New York,
that sum being contained in two boxes shipped by
Bage Bacon. One of these boxes has been found
in the coal hole of the steamer Sierra Nevada, on
the Pacific side, where it is supposed it was left by
the thieves they being unable to take it on shore
without discovery. The box found contained
S20,O00 and arrived here yesterday in the steamer
Star Of the West.
IN Darkness Soon after the meeting of the
Common Council last evening, and just as the
members got fairly at work. the gas refused to give
light thus leaving city fathers in total darkness
Candles were soon procured, and the two Boards
continued in their duties for an hour more with
these lights.
Left.--Am6ng the passengers by the steamer
for California, which left yesterday, notice the
names of Senator Gwin of California; Gen. Lane,
of Oregon, and Hon. Milton s. Latham. The latter
gentleman it is said, was the youngest member Of
the last Congress.
Financial.--The bank statement for the week
ending last Saturday, shows decided improve
ment from the previous week. The increase in all
departments is as follows: Increase in deposites,
81, APO, 1885, increase in loans and discounts, $685.
Oil; increase in specie, $l8o,3 increase in cir
culation, Sl42,968. The totals are as follows
Loans, $92, 1885,, loS; specie, $l65sl ,234; circu-
aton, 81, l06,70S; deposites, SIS, 800. Money
continues easy, and can be obtained at very low
rate. The expansion in loans and discounts by
our city banks is creating some uneasiness, and il
is feared in some quarters that sudden contrac-
ton will be the consequence, thus bringing an.
other pressure in the money market. This opin.
ion, however, is not | find very prevalent among
our moneyed men in Wall street. The sales at the
stock board to-day were large, without much
change in prices. A sale of U. s. skies was made
at ll6 Ia. LIS.

ginning. May not hope that after reading this
letter, you win rise in your place in Congress, at
the first convenient opportunity, and restate your
theory of the churchy Does not your reputation

in your candor and righteousness viii have been
sadly misplaced II you do, ! beg you TO read, IN
the course of your speech, the following truthful
passage from the coryph@us Of Roman Catholic
editors in America:
There is, in our judgment, but one valid de.
fence of the Popes, in their exercise OF temporal
authority In the middle ages over sovereigns, and
that is that they possess IL by divine right or that
the Pope holds that authority by virtue OF his COM
mission from Jesus Christ as the successor OF Pc
ter the prince Of the apostles, and visible head Of
the church. Any defence Of them on lower
ground must, in our judgment, fail to meet the real
points in the case, and Is rather an evasion than
a fair, honest, direct, and satisfactory reply. To
defend their power as an extraordinary power, OF
as an accident in church history, growing out Of
the peculiar circumstances, civil constitution, aud
laws Of the times now passed away, perhaps for
ever; may DC reRdTueu hb ICES Ahciy W uibpicnsc
non Catholics, and TO offend the sensibilites Of
power, than to defend it on the ground Of divine
right, and as inherent in the divine constitution Of
the church; but even on the low ground OF policy
we do not think it the wisest In the long run. Say
what we will, we can gain little credit with those
we would conciliate. Always TO their minds, will
the temporal power Of the Pope by divine right
loom up in the distance, and always will they be,
eve, however individual Catholics here and there
may deny it, or nominally Catholic governments
oppose It, that Ia the real Roman Catholic doctrine
to be reasserted and acted the moment that cir
cumstances render it prudent or expedient. We
gain nothing with them but doubts of our SINGER
ity, and VIC only weaken among ourselves that
warm and generous devotion to. the Holy Father
which is due from every one Of the faithful, and
which is so essential to the prosperity othe church.

In Alexandria, the favorite city Of George
Washington, the Americans yesterday elected
their whole ticket for charter officers, by 800

Know Nothing Almanac for 1855.

This Almanac is valuable for its statistics
alone but it also contains a variety of impor-
tant matter connected with the views and prin-
ciples of the American party. 1t contains the
oaths of the Ronish bishops and priests the
oath of the Jesuits, the Romish curse against
heretics, -also the secret instructions of the
Jesuits-extracts from various Catholic wri-
tiers, showing their views Of the temporal power
of the Pope, and their aversion to republican
ism. Every American should read it Price

preparations made by Congress was one appropr-
ating $4,000 for the erection Of custom-house at
Alexandra. This will prove an additional benefit

Mr.. MURDOCH-CLEYELAND THEATRE
Mr.. Murdoch's Macbeth on Saturday evening,
like his Hamlet on "Wednesday, was worthy
of his fame. Macbeth - the ambitious,
tempted, SHINING, remorsefull, suffering-yet,
to the last the enduring, valiant, Macbeth
While the retributions which followed close
on the heels of his deeds of violence, were
rendered with fearful effect, yet as persona
ted by Murdoch, he wears at all times an air
and prestige of strength and manliness. He
carries himself so soldierly as a soldier, so
kingly as king, that your interest in the
character is kept keenly up.
Murdoch, in his Shaksperian characters,
Notwithstanding the power he possesses to
produce mere stage effect, by startling read
ings or extravagant action, such as the most
eminent artists are frequently tempted to EN-
ploy, always remains steadfastlv true to the
great poets ideal. 1t is in the power which
Murdoch has of making himself SO perfectly
identical with the character he is in, that we
discern the secret of that eminence which
he has so long maintained. He does not
merely represent characterize imperson-
ates it. You see Hamlet or Macbeth, not
the player acting or speaking them The al
fusion is complete. OF course, this allusion
is the end and proof of skill in the tragic art,
yet how rarely attained or given. The COM
mendatioa of our great actors is generally
che has made such a character his own
We like better to say, as we may of Murdoch
as he plays-the character has made him its
own-has so thoroughly and completely en-
tere into his mind = becomes so inwrought
as to transform the delineator, while the play
lasts, into the character ITSELF Cqepeland Her.
