Correspondence.

GEORGETOWN, Feb. 27, 1855.
10 the Editors of the Organ:
The defeat of the American party on Monday
last in our municipal election, was mainly attribu
table to the fact that, at least one hundred new
voters were added to the list of voters since the cleo
tion in February 1855 last by IN anti American as
sessor of which number about eighty were members
of the anti American party this taken in connection
with the local question Of the Metropolitan railroad
made our defeat certain. 1t is now well known
that many of the friends of that measure had de-
termned to vote with especial reference to that
project. The Mayor of the town (American) was
known to be hostile to the road and as some of the
members of the American party then in power,
were supposed to entertain and coincide with his
opinions on that subject, they supported conse-
quently the anti-American ticket, as a large maio-
rty were known to be favorable to the prosecution
of that work.
The American party had to contend with, viz :
|. The Catholic vote.
2. The foreign vote.
3. The Democratic vote
4. The Wing Anti American vote.
.. The influence Of the friends of the Metropo
tan Railroad.
Notwithstanding all these Influences and combi
nations, the American party noby sustained itself
and had it not been for the fifth influence which
was against us, We would have signally triumphed
over the Foreign (50 votes) Democratic or Anti
American Q0o votes) and the Catholic vote (l25
votes) of the town.
The American party will maintain its ground at
all hazards They are not depressed by defeat
but as one man will defend the principles which
they have advocated, and carry them out to glo-
rious consummation
We have deemed this communication necessary
10 assure our friends in your city and elsewhere
that our banners are still flying, and that we are
ready to engage our enemies whenever the occa-
SION may require it. The American party of
Georgetown never surrenders" We wish this
distinctly understood, by friends and opponents

The NAIAD QUEEs.-This superb spectacle was
produced at the National last evening, in magnih-
cent style. Much was expected from the mana
gers announcement; but no one had formed an
adequate idea OF the surpassing beauty of the
scenery.
The Bath of Beauty is by far the richest scene
ever presented to Washington public. The
moonlight view Of the Rhine far surpasses any
thing of the sort we have ever seen. The Demon
Cave, with song of the demons; the Scarf Dance,
by the corps de ballet; and the song of :" Hark !!
Harkl the Music" were alone worth the price of
admission. The chief feature of the evening was
the grand march of the Female Warriors; their
military nan9uvres would put many Of our mill
tary companies to the blush the transformation of
Schnapps to fish; the desperate encounter be
tween Sir Rupert and Amphibio; the grand pro-
cession of the Sons and Daughters of the Deep
should all be seen TO be appreciated. The closing
scene Of the Rainbow, "the halo of glory" wound
up the piece.
The Naiad Queen will be performed this after
noon and evening.

the warrant against the parties and it was before
Justice Morsell that the bonds were given.
