PEACE AND HARMONY AT THE ITALIAN OPERA.-
M. lie Baron de Stankovitch is q sensible man.
The stockholders Of the Academy Of Music have
had a few grains Of common sense knocked into
their heads, Ia Jack Bunsby by the rough but
convincing marlinspike Of public opinion. For
proof, read the Official documents published else
where-the letter Of M. lie Baron de Stankovitch
to Mr.. Paine, and the resolution Of the stock
holders, in which they magnanimously give the
lessee one Of his legal rights. Here is the case
NJ. de Stankovitch leases the Academy for a
round sum per night, with the understanding
that certain person Is not to be employed.
That certain person happens TO be the only
person who can discharge to the satisfaction OF
the public the duties Of conductor. The public,
knowing its rights, demands Its conductor, rein
states him, and, according TO the doctrine Of
squatter sovereignty, he takes the chair. The
next day the stockholders give him permission TO
keep II.
Az we wrote the other day, the public de-
mands the Opera, with all its excellencies in
every department, before and behind the scenes,
and 10 make q slight variation in Mirabeau's
apoihesme, the voice Of the people admonishes''
stockholders, who, having money, are greater
than kings, who occasionally desire 10 borrow.
SO the stockholders have obeyed the voice of the
pablo and the press, simply because they
couldn't help il. And the matter is settled &C
cording TO the HERALD platform.
SO much for the right Of the affair. Now for
the Law Of II. In leasing the bsilding to M. de
Stankovitcb, the stockholders had no legal right
to dictate TO him who he should or should not
employ Knowing this, probably, the condition
was not inserted in the lease, but the lessee was
enticed into promise, from which he was only
released when it was dangerous TO hold him to
bis word.
II is for the public to judge who stands in the
hest position in the matter.
Now that harmony reigns in Irving place
for the time being, at least-we hope that some
thing will be done for art Singular as Il may
scem. ancr recent demonstrations, Il Il not the
duiy Of an artist, or a manager. or stockholder,
to kick M row with somebody every week.
We want the Opera, with the best artists, the
best appointments in every respect, and no more
nonsense about Il.

Mr.. Davis proposes to hurry Kansas into the
Union as a slave State in virtue Of the coercive
processes under which the work has thus far
been accomplished. This act, he knows, will
revive tenfold the anti-slavery agitation of the
North; but he has discovered an ingenious yet
very simple Contamination, whereby the Mig
ger agitation will be swallowed up in the nal
versal patriotism Of the American people, North
and South.
What ia this saving remedy against a revival
Of the Northern anti-slavery agitation II Is the
simple remedy Of q foreign war, and the plan
for bringing this about IL one Of the incest in
ventoDs Of the age. We have recognized the
government Of Gen. Walker in Nicaragua lie
has lately issued a decree re-establishng the
institution of slavery in that State where Il
had stood abolished for forty years. This
decree may prove q good thing for the
deselopement Of the vast commercial re-
sources Of the country. AT all events, IL
has made Walker the pro,ege Of the nulliaers Of
the South All, therefore, that he has TO do Is 70
pick quarrel with Spain, and 70 make sure
work BY letting the word and the blow fall to-
gether in a hostile descent upon Cuba with his
American citizen volunteers Five hundred will
do as well as FIVE thousand. They may be cap
tured and executed like pirates, after the fashion
Of Lopez and bis followers, but Mr.. Buchanan
and d, mocratic Congress, In both houses, will b.
called upon TO avenge them, and this will give us
at once magnificent war with England, France
and Spain, in which the Northern niger agita-
ton win be overwhelmed and buried out Of sight

vote in company with thousands of firm and
true old line Wings throughout the nation,
for the candidates of that party which will
have the ability, in political power. as we'll
as the patriotic disposition to preserve and
perpetuate the Union, the Constitution and

circumstances the party of which Mr.. Fill
more is the candidate. cannot in any pro-
bable contingency, be in a position to exer-

have it in their power to prolong if not to
perpetuate the blessings which are guaran-

My purpose is, therefore, to give my sup
port to those distinguished Statesmen,
Messrs. Buchanan and Breckenridge, who
are eminently qualified for the highest po-

candidates most likely to defeat Fremont,

to be able, under Divine Providence, to al

bloody distractions which now rnhappily

For the western Democrat.


Mr.. EDITOR: The political position which
/ occupied a short time since in this CON-
munity, renders it proper for me to say a
word to my friends in justification of the
| course am about to pursue in relation to
the approaching Presidential election. In
| this election there is but one issue inyolv-
ed, and it is of very little moment to the
South, whether Mr.. Fillmore or Mr.. Bu-
chanan is elected, since miserable fana-
teal and sectional party have forced upon
US the necessity of defending with unani-
nifty our sectional rights, by presenting to
the American people for their sufrages,
candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency pledged to make continual war
shall have made of US .hewers of wood and
drawers of water" 1t is a fixed and fore
gone conclusion, that Mr.. Buchanan will
carry the great body of the South in the
election, and it is our duty to show to the
North, that we are ready for any possible con-
tingency by presenting an undivided front
in this great emergency. In view of the
nefarious purposes entertained by this fend-
ish faction of the North, the South will be
compelled to consider the election of Ere
mont, apSo facto, as a dissolution of the
Union. What honorable man South could
be found to accept an Office of political trust
under an administration pledged to des-
troy the most vital interests of the South !?
The consequence must necessarily be that
! all the offices of the Government, both for
eign and domestic, will be filled oy our enc
mics; and will any patriotic man in the
South consent for moment to submit to
such degradation! Surely not! The Alb
olitionists are runs mad upon a mere alb
straction, and simple sentiment, and would
endanger the Union to crafty morbid
whim whilst to US the question involves a
tangible interest worth millions. To cut
my story short, l intend to vote for James
Buchanan, because a large majority of
my brothers in interest are going to do so,
| and because my vote would do Mr.. Fill
more no good under existing circumstan-
ces, although l respect and admire him as
much as ever.
For the impending crisis the South is not
responsible. The issue is thrust upon her
people by the North, aud it is now too late
to appeal to the national feelings of former
parties here, to adhere to their former ma
tional doctrines. We are obliged to meet
the issue as a sectional one, by uniting on
the strongest of the two candidates who
propose to protect our rights. The old
Wing party is disbanded and powerless,
and it is sufficiently clear from recent indi-
cations that the American party is not now
strong enough to rescue the Union from her
perilous situation; whilst the late elections
prove that the Democratic party has in
creased sufficiently in the South to raise the
hope that it may be able, with the help of
one or two of the Northern States, to save
the Ship of State from wreck and ruin.

FREMoST's ELECTION AND THE DIsso-
LUTON OF THE UNION One AND THE SANE
THISG.---He who doubts that the election
ofJohn C.. Fremont to the Presidency would
bring about an immediate dissolution of the
Union, would deny the existence of the sun
in heaven, or any thing else equally Palpable
to the senses. Fremont could not for the
,0aRt Of agents carry on the internal admin
istration of the country. No man in the
South can take commission from him. and
no man sent from the North to the South,
for the purpose of filling any office under
his administration, will be allowed to stay
here. He will be notified to leave. and If
he disregards the notice be will be carried
off on rail and his office be shut up. Take
our own town as an example. win any
citizen of it accept a commission of Post
master from Fremont!
If one SO base could be found he would
not be allowed to remain in his office one
day or hour, but would be driven from our
midst with the unanimous execrations of the
community upon his infamous head. Here
then would be a stoppage of the mails, and
what will follow? Should the President at
tempt by any armed force to open, and keep
open the Post Office, that force will be re-
sisted by force, and thus we should have
revolution or disruption of the Government,
or in other words u dissolution of the Union.
OF the Office of Collector of the Customs,
Marshal of the district, and in fact of every
other federal office in Virginia and the whole
South, the same thing may be said, and then
where, we should like to know, would be
the administration of the Federal Governor
With the mails stopped. the collection of
the revenue stopped, and the process of the
Federal Courts struck dead by the want of
an officer to execute them, we repeat, what
would become of the federal administration
And yet this state of affairs will as surely
ensue as Fremont is elected!
