what would posterity find that this sacrifice
had been NADER Because the black man, IN
one section ofthe country, had not been placed
upon an equality with the white one For
nothing else.
We have presented this question in practi-
cal point of view, and we tell our fellow-citi-
zens that they should discourage and dis
countenance all who come here to plant the
mortars of disunion, as the Southern press
and this Bailean Era have done. From this
station they are projecting the bombs OF dis
cord into both sections. 1t is but recently,
that the blackeys attempted to organize in
Washington for the purpose of specializing up
on politics by agitating the practical enslaying
the few negroes in this District, by imposing
upon them the hardship Of having to clothe
and feed themselves An obligation which
now rests upon their masters The object OF
this is very plain. 1t is to foment sectional
strife, and bring about disunion, ora sectional
conquest
So soon as disunion shall have been effected,
of course these blackies would fly off to some
more congenial climate They would give no
tice to their disconsolate landlord, pack up
their type, publish valedictory, and depart, To
collect the arrearages and wages Of mischief
due them. The people of Washington would
repair, as they best might, the destructive ca.
lamity inflicted upon them by malignant and
INSCRIPTIONS politicians. Let them beware o.
these insidious vipers.

The Americans of Georgia.

Mass meetings have been held by the Ameri.
cans of Hancock, Jasper, Warren, and Ebert coun-
ties all of whom have thrown off the obligation OF
secrecy, and invite all in favor Of American prin-
ciples to join them. They ratify and approve the
Philadelphia and Macon platforms, break off all
connexion with those Northern councils who have
not adopted the platform, and approve of the &C
ton ofthe Americans Of Columbus, Decatur, Mus
cogee, Newton, and Chatham counties, who had
in like manner cut off all secrecy. The other
counties Of the State are fast following their ex.
ample, and it viii not be long before every lodge
will be thrown open. The effect Of this movement
is indescriba5le. The Americans are filed with
vigor, while their opponents are filed with sorrow
at one of their principal weapons being torn from
them. Col Franklin, Of Athens, has been nomi-
mated In the 9th district He is an excellent

JVALLACk'S THEATER.

We have moi, until Thursday evening, had an oppor.
tupity of visiting this house since therevivA OF Coey
C;bber's snowy comedy of "She Would and She
Would Not" which wss icst played here last Monday
night The plot OF this play is elaborate improbable,
ar net particularly lucid Msny of the scenes sU
vordy and much of the dialogue is, for come
dy. ti,tsome aud heavy; and there is lacking thss
touch and go brilsbcy Of speech, and rapidly Of
action which are necessary to carry on
successfully, a piece Of this length and character.
There is, however, much opportunity given for do
play, and st Mr. Walacks, every advantage is takes
Of this favorable circuu stance-the costumes are
new, appropriate and elegant; many of the scenes
have been painted exp essy for this play; upholstery
has done its utncst and the appointments throughout
ara everything that could be desired.
II is, perhaps useless at this late hour 70 specify
the merits shortcomings of the various performers;
but We were especially pleased with Mr. Blake "
Den Msnuel, and MIR. Brougham as Trappsnt.
There ere several characters Of Mr.. Testers more
iuprtssive than his Don Ocavio Of last evening,
although his conception of the part was very good,
and bis actirg above medioctity. Mira. Hoey "
Hypolits, ard Mrs Stephens as Flora do not appear
to as good advantage 10 masculine rb IS when at
tired in more appropriate hsbiliments; s their per-
Torrance of their allotted parts was commendsble,
end received With much favor by the audience.
AZ whole, this rather sntiqusted comedy 10 well
performed at this theater the best talent Of the excel
lent company is engaged in its representation, and
the faults being mostly rather Of the suthor, than the
artists, do not hesitate 20 pronounce il one OF the
most satisfactory revivJs Of the season. II will,
however, soon be withdrawn to make way for oher
novelties.
