UNCLE Toms CABIN.-The moral and religious
drama, based upon Mrs Stoves " Uncle Tom, /"
was brought out at the Worcester Theatre, last
evening, to full house, and was received with
the most cordial manifestations of the public ia
vor. Mr.. Mcmillan, as @ Uncle Tom acted the
character of that world-renowned parsonage to
the life, and the performance of his little daugh
ter, not yet five years of age, as " little Eva,'
drew from the audience repeated bursts of APP
plause.
Every character in the play was well performed.
The scenery was in entire harmony with the
piece, and the allegorical tabeau at the close of
the performance was one of the must beautiful
scenes thatwe have ever Witnessed
We doubt not that the play will have great
run, in spite of the maledictions Of our neighbor
of the Bay State, who characterized it, in his is
sue of yesterday, as an ''abomnable play"

NEW YORK MUNICIPAL ELRoTIoN.-The
Municipal election in New York city takes
place to morrow, ( Tuesday, Dec. lst.) May
or Wood, who is candidate for reelection,
is opposed by Daniel F. Tieman, a conser-
vative Democrat, who will command the
united Republican and American strength,
besides, perhaps, several thousand anti
Wood Democrats. But as an offset, Wood
has naturalzed S 900 Irish Catholics within
the last thirty days, who will support him
to a man. Probably nine-tenths of the De-
mocracy Of New York will give him hear
ty, enthusiastic support. He has on bis
side all the elements of evil, crime, and
corruption; all the rag-tag, swindlers, vsga'
bonds and villains Of high and low degree
On the other side is arrayed the industry
property, morality, and respectability OF ,h'
city-the merchants, bankers, artizans and
manufacturers. 1t is the taxpayer agains
the tax.eater; the honest man against th'
rogue. and the result will be an accurat'
census Of the number of rascals and of de-
cent citizens in New York. As New Yorl
is the great commercial and financial me
tropolis of this continent, the result is in
vested with a national interest.

The Constitution recently framed BY the
Border Ruffian bogus convention in Kansas
will undoubtedly be presented to Congress
Immediately" after its organization, and an
effort made t. admit Kansas AS State under
it. The Philadelphia United States Gazette
makes the following calculation OF the
chances Of its success:
The House of Representatives will be d.
vided into l2S Democrats, 90 Republicans
and IA Americans. OF the Democrats So
are from the free States, leaving Is from
the South OF the Americans all are from
! the slave States, but it is doubtful If several
OF them can be got to vote tor the Kansas
outrage. Even if they all should, the az.
eregate on that side would be only SO
against 90 Republicans. Unde' these CIR
cuustances, it is clear that if the northern
Democrats should divide equally on the
Kansas question, the bogus State cannot be
admitted. 1t is our impression that ma
iority of them will vote with the opposition
| in the issue. OF course, in q matter OF thi:
kind it is easy to be mistaken, but if the tone
of the northern Democratic press be any
criterion forjudgmenr, the Democratic mem.
bers of the House from the free States can.
not be counted on, with any degree OF Ger
tainty. by the southern ultras. We a'e al
80 of the opinion that some of the moderate
southern members will refuse to sanction
the Lecompton doings.

The LEcoMPToN CONSTITUTION 1t requires
but little exposition to make the sense OF the
Lecompton Constitution plain to the lowesr
understanding. Let US suppose at once that
the pro-slavery article is stricken cut by the
election on the 2lst Of December, and then
interpret the remainder. Under the Dred
Scott decision, slavery exists where it is not
abolished by positive law. Hence it is an
institution in the Territory of Kansas, and
as the transition from Terri ory to State
cannot effect it, it will necessarily be an in
stirution of the State of Kansas. To give
time to. extend and solidify, any alteration of
the Constitution is prohibited for eight
wears; an alteration or amendment, even
that can only be- effected by tedious cir
Gu nlocutory process, vote OF tw".thlrd~
of each House OF the Legislature, ratified by
vote OF the majority of the citizens OF the
State being necessary to initiate the move-
ment. No amendment of the Constitution
for eight years; and no amendment then ii
there be a minority Of pro slavery men to
the number of one. third in either branch ol
The Legislature, and the number Vt slaves
increasing in the meantime by importa'lons

~ Three persons Henry Fife, Monr'

w Three persons - Henry Fife, Monroe
Stewart, and Charlotte Jones have been for
some time under sentence of death for the
murder OF an old man named Wilson and
his wife at McKeespnrt, near Pittsburgh,
Pa, robbery being the motive. Stewart had
from the first earnestly protested his inno-
cence; and few days since, on his earnest
ly appealing to Fife and harlotte Jones,
they confessed that they alone were the mur-
derers, and thus he will be saved from the
gallows. The woman Jones seems to have
been the principal in the c ime, which ap-
pears the more terrible from the fact that
she was niece Of the murdered persons.
