A NOVEL PRoJEcT.-Mr. Franz Schlotter well

Europe where he will complete arrangements for
specimens of the musical compositions ofthe earle
masters, commencing with the works produced in
the tenth century, and carrying us down to those
OF the nineteenth. The antiquated compositions
WIN 9e performed upon the very instruments for
which they were first written. For instance. the
ola ''well-tempered cavichord' will be used to
interpret such of Bach works as that master wrote
Tor that Instrument and this plan will be fully car
Ileu out IN other instances. Many curious instru-
ments, now never heard, will be brought out once
more, and the present generation can form a
strictly correct idea of the music in which our
great,great-great grandfathers and grandmothers,
ana thelr ancestors delighted. These musical per
formances will be connected by short bistnricaI
and biographical sketches of the composers aud
their times.

Thsy must say they will favor an increase
Of the tariff tax on the great producing
West.
They must say again, as they have said
before, that they are against the admission
Of any more slave States into the Union, on
which no party can stand in this country
and be successful. ~
They must say, as they have said before,
that this nation must BE- ell slave States
or all free States, or the union cannot be
preserved. On this platform they must be
hopelessIy destroyed as party.
They must Offer terms to the Know
Nothing party, and to every faction and
fragment OF a party and ism, or fall while
the Democracy must now, as ever before,
reject, repudiate and denounce the whole
list, as unworthy great national party,
based on the rock Of the Constitution.
The Democracy must now, as ever, plant
themselves unalterably upon the doctrine Of
popular sovereignty in the States and Ter
ritories, subject only to the Constitution Of
the United States, leaving the people per-
fectly free to form their own domestic insti-
tutions in their own way" They must re-
pudiate all Tariff Taxes except for revenue
sufficient to carry on an economical admin.
istration of the General Government.
They must repudiate Congressional inter.
vention with the domestic institutions of the
Territories, either for siarery, as proposed
by the disunionists Of the South, or against
it as proposed by the Black Republican dis.
union,sis of the North.
They must maintain the Constitutional
right Of the people Of the Territories to
come into the Union under Constitution
Republican in form, when ratified and sane
toned by majority Of the people and un.
tainted by fraud and violence, whatever do
nestle institutions they may see proper,
fairly, to adopt.
We must drive the Black Republican
