DEPARTURE OF THE OPERA TROUPE.--The princi-
pal members of Mr. Crisps English opera troupe, to-
wit, Messrs. Stretton, Frazer Lyster and Trevor,
and Misses Rosale Durand Georgina Hodson and
Marie DuckWorth take their departure this evening
for the upper country. We learn that they design
giving concerts at Natchez and Vicksburg, and per-
forming regular engagements at Memphis, St. Louis
and Cincinnati.
AS, with the exception of Messrs Frazer and STREET
ton the troupe are new to the West, we would take
this occasion Of recommending them to our friends up
that way as very superior artists, who have all
dered themselves iavorites with the New Orleans
public. Messrs. Lyster and Trevor are worthy com
panons to such singers as Messrs Frazer and STREET
ton, and we are sure that the ladies' will charm
wherever they so. Miss Durand Miss Hodson and
Miss Duckworth, are all beautiful personally and all
sweet singers; but SO different, in both respects,
that each bound to have her particular class Of ad
mirer, whilst altogether they will afford a tahleau of
beauty and melody to which the most fastidious eye
and ear can take no exception.
Miss Durand, it must be understood ranks first,
being the primo donna. In that school of singing to
which Jenny Lind's echo Song belongs, she has
no superior in this country. Miss Hodson has a
strong, mellow, musical voice, different in some re-
spects from any ever heard, but very pleasing on
the whole. Miss Durand is the better singer; Miss
Hodson the better actress Miss Duckworth, being
the youngest is not finished artist as the others
but is sprightly and charming in both her singing
and acting. Misses Durand and Duckworth had thei
schooling in New York, where both are great favor
ties Miss Hodson had hers in London, being pupi
of the celebrated Madame Vestris and achieved high
popularity both in London and New York.
W. r., Al.
their Western tour We hope they may have pleas
and time during their absence, and shall hail thei
safe return to New Orleans with the creates
pleasure.

Democratic Ignorance.

The Democratic committee on resolutions
and platform, reported long string Of resolu-
tons, and among them we find the following:
40. That the liberal principles embodied by
Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence,
and sanctioned in the Constitution, which
makes ours the land of liberty and the ASYLUM
of the oppressed of every nation, have ever
been cardinal principles in the Democratic
faith, and every attempt to abridge the privi-
lege of becoming citizens and the owners of
soil among us, ought to be resisted with the
same spirit which swept the alien and sedition
laws from eur statute books.''
Did not this committee know that the fallen
and seditiono Law died by the limitation given
them, when adopted;-and did not this com
mittee also know that these laws run out by
own limitation, during the first term of JEFF
ferson's administration, and that he neUer asked
Congress to repeal them ? There are fools or
k,aaUes some where.

Buchanan Nominated!

Last evening we received the news of the
nomination of Mr.. Buchanan for the Presidcn-
cy, by the Democratic National Convention
This is severe rebuke to Pierce and Douglas,
the men who have been laboring for years for
this nomination, and sacrificing the country's
best interests in their ambition. Buchanan is
Objectionable in many things, but probably
most of all in being the Representative at this
time of an unprincipled party-yet he is the
best man in his party candidate for the nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, was nomi-
mated for the Vice Presidency.

The Democratic Platform.

The length of other articles in to-day's pa
per prevents us commenting in detail upon
the Platform adopted by the Cincinnati Con-
Vention. The Democracy always did excel in
putting forth well written and plausible plat
FORMS delightfully."- besprinkled with fine SEN
timents, glowing with patriotism, rich in good
promises, and covered over as with blanket
by devotion to the Union. But unfortunately
these platforms ara made, pass the usual Con-
vention formality, are published to the world,
attacked and defended for few weeks-and
that's the end of them. 1t is in vain to point
to the actions of the party" a year or two
afterwards and exhibit wherein they have
broken nearly every plank in their platform
and badly bent the few unbroken. The very
next Convention will probably re-afirm the
old platform with impudence utterly unpara-
leled outside of that party, add more planks
to it, and go before the world with the very
concentration Of political virtue upon their
faces and on their lips, yet ready at any mo-
ment to break any and every plank in the
last platform.
1t is just so with the platform adopted this
week by the Cincinnati Convention. With a
few added planks, it is a re-adoption of old
platforms scarcely resolution of which they
have not violated. For instance, and this is
but fair sample, in 1852 they declared as
part of their platform, against all further agi-
tation of the slavery question, in or out Of
Congress, &c. After deliberately violating
this pledge, and hurting the country into the
most dangerous slavery agitation that ever
threatened the Union, they have the consum-
mate impu lence to quote this very resolution
and reaffirm it F.! Was there ever more das-
tardly insult offered to the people than this
But we shall take up the platform at another
time. 1t will be found in to-day's paper. The
Southern led the Northern delegates by the
nose in this little platform affair. The Cincin-
natl Gazette in speaking of its course through
the Convention says:
1t was not until the resolutions which
speak of our foreign policy were reached that
the democracy began to divide, and division
began to show ITSELF In regard to the nation
atty of slavery extension, the democracy OF
South Carolina and Alabama and Massachu-
sets and Ohio, are unit "like twin cherries
on a STEM" Upon every question in which
the North had an interest, the South, or ma
iority of them, voted nay T; and upon the great
question of road across our continent, to
unite the Atlantic and Pacific States, the South
gave plumper against it. and the resolution
was tabled, and thus to the poor trucking
North, after giving the South all, every thing
indeed, that it demanded to make strong and
permanent the bulwark of human servitude
was denied even the poor boon of passing an
abstract resolution in favor of a great national
work--the completion of which is so essential
to the well being and future prosperity of oul
international commerce and the read union O
the confederaey-
