The CHEvALIER WEBB SOMEWHAT AMBITIOUS
The Chevalier Webb, In his day, has been, from
time to time, ambitious to distinguish himself
in something calculated to make sensation.
Thus, many years ago, he was ambitious, with
his mahogany stocked pistols, to give General
Duff Green terrible punishment; but he failed
to do it. We next hear of the belligerent Che
Waller as rejected party in the Graves and
Cilley duel; next, as having taken the field with
Thomas f. Marshall, of Kentucky; next, as
prisoner for criminal violation of the law;
and next, as having escaped the State prison
through the merciful interposition of p.taon
by Gov. Seward. In all these affairs the Che, i, r
Webb's ambition was something of the or,
which is supposed to attach to the blood. 90.
of honor. But now his greatest n'rpition
seems to be the pleasure of hanging sriae I'M
fortunate abolitionist. Cannot Governor Wise
crafty him? Old Brown has been disposed of;
but Of his four condemned abolition associates,
who are TO be hung on the 10th, one might be
turned over TO the Chevalier Webb. Will not
Governor Wise, as special favor, allow the
Chevalier to act the hangman to Cook, Coppie,
Copeland, or Green? Having joined the church,
the Chevalier cannot very conveniently indulge
his old passion for shooting at somebody; and
so he desires to hang an abolitionist or two.
Can he not be gratifed by Governor Wise?

ART AND ARTIsTs-THEIR SOCIAL POSITION
The interregnum between the Opera seasons at
this period Of the year is usually hard time
to kill amongst people of taste. 1t is not
merely the direct enjoyment afforded
by music, but the opportunities for sub
sequent discussion and criticism which
it furnishes that enable them to dispose agree
ably Of their leisure hours. The Opera depart
ed, what remains to them in the form of lyrical
or dramatic amusements? Niger minstrelsy,
or niger five act melodramas pleasant diver
sifcations of the dismal abolition chant which
is being keened over the remains of old John
Brown.
And yet the classes to whom music is source
Of such inexhaustible pleasure, and who feel so
much the deprivation of the Opera, have with
in their reach other sources of enjoyment,
which, if they would only seek them, would
afford them quite as much amusement and salts
faction. In the kindred arts of painting and
sculpture they can find, we have no doubt as
ample field for the employment of their sensi-
bilities, and certainly of their Intellectual
faculties. In the galleries, exhibition rooms
and studios of the metropolis there are at pre-
sent more works of merit in both departments
of art to be seen than have ever before been
assembled here. Days can be pleasantly and
probably employed in visiting them, for the
subjects of inquiry and reflection which they
suggestare perhaps the most improving, refining
and elevating that the mind can embrace But
it is not merely with these works-the fruits of
the highest order of intellectual cultivation
that our people of fashion and means should
make themselves familiar. They should also
seek to become acquainted with their authors,
and thus benefit by the advantages which such
associations must confer. Our leading painters
and sculptors, although men of fine gifts, are in
general modest unaffected and unobtrusive in
their department. and too proud even to court
the patronage that is essential to their progress
This reserve is one of the marked character
istics Of genius, and amongst no class is it more
discernible than amongst our New York artists.
Such men constitute the real aristocracy of a
community in which hereditary pretensions are
ignored
Let not people of wealth imagine that they
confer compliment on an artist By dstin-
gushing him by their attentions. 1t is the
artist that in reality confers by his society. an
honor upon such persons. Wealth may be lost
in generation; the traditions Of art can never
be wiped out. In early Greece and Rome the
successful artist was not only esteemed as
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-12-06

highly as the orator and statesman, but was also
admitted to the highest public emploVments. In
the Middle Ages we find him similarly honored.
Michael Angelo and Raphael received the visits
Of monarchs, popes, cardinals and statesmen.
Rubens fulfilled several important diplomatic
MISSIONS and was knighted by Charles the
First Of England. Titan was the intimate
friend of the Duke of Ferrara, and was created
Count Palatine Of the Empire by Charles the
Fifth. People who lay claims to aristocratic
position merely because they inhabit fine
houses and sport splendid equipages have as
we have shown, nothing to lose by counting the
society of artists. On the contrary the fact of
their association with them will elevate them
several steps higher in the social scale, for men
are apt to be judged by the company they keep.
Let therefore, our moneyed idlers cultivate
not merely art but artists The one will i'm
prove their minds by its lessons, the other
their manners by the modest and unaffected
bearing which is ever the concomitant of merit.
There is no class in the world that stands more
in need of the operation of these influences
than does our purse proud, selfsuficient aristo-
cracy of trade, and more particularly the
Junior branches Of it. If Young New York
could be taught to understand picture or
appreciate statue, there would be some
chance of making gentleman of him.

ALDERMEN AND CouNCuMEN.-Pick out the
best men. They can do much to diminish taxa
ton. Some of the nominations for Aldermen
are "unfit to be made" Cut them of, root and
branch. And as for the Councilmen, we are
told, that after strict examination into the cha
racters of one hundred candidates presented to
the people, only six can be produced worthy
to hold office. To find these six we fear that
the lantern Of Diogenes would not be strong
enough It would take Drummond light, at

A NATIONAL ELECTroN.-Every citizen of New
York will remember that the election to-day is
something more than a local affair. The COM
mercial metropolis Of the Union, the centre of
art, trade, literature and financial affairs, is
called upon to choose between conservatism,
union, law and order on one side, and black
republicanism, disunion, sedition, treason and
insurrection on the other. Next to the Presi-
dental election the contest of to day is Of the
most vital importance to the well-being and
prosperity Of The country.

SCHOOL OFncERs-M people do not think
it worth while to vote for school officers, and a
large number of rogues and ignoramuses have,
therefore. managed to slip into the Board of
Education. The matter is more important than
most people think. The Board has the charge
of the education of our youth, and spends q
million and quarter of dollars every year.
School officers should be the most upright and
intelligent men in their wards. Instead of that,
they are often small beer politicians, who can
hardly read, and in many instances cannot
write. Look over your school tickets carefully,
and pick out the best men, without regard to
party affiliations

THE THREE DEGREES OF NrGGER WoIsup.-
The first degree of niger worship was taken
by Havemeyer, John Van Buren, and Tilden at
the great gathering in Buffalo in ls4S. This
first degree consists Of being very noisy against
the slave oligarchy-c creating that the devil of
their religion, and the niger the almighty
niger OF their piety. The second degree is
that taken by Seward at Rochester. The third
and last degree is that put forth and practised
by Garrison, Phillips, Fred Douglass, and John
Brown, lately deceased in hurry. Tammany
is now in the first degree, and in short time
she will be ready to go into the Seward shop
for the second, and after that into the Garrison
shop for the third degree.

a most disgraceful exhibition of his spleen ia

Where is he hurt? What have we done, that
he should continue to rail and scold at us like
an enraged fshwoman? OF all things, why
should the Chevalier Webb follow in the foot
steps of that wretched vagabond, Branch, in his
malignant and loathsome abuse of individuals
who know him not, and whose particular desire
is to have nothing to do with him? rs not the
world large enough for him and them? If not,
we advise him to take himself out of the way,
and to mind, meantime, what he is about, aud
remember the pains and penalties and sorrows
and sufferings Of poor Branch.

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-12-06

Mr.. Grow, of Pennsylvania, withdrew his
nmme after the first ballot was declared, pro-
baby because Sherman got the highest number
of republican votes. The House, therefore,
remained unorgani1ed up to the hour of ad-
journment.
1t is a significant fact, as preliminary to
the Southern movement already foreshadowed
in our columns, that the Harper's Ferry trea-
son of Old John Brown was made subject Of
discussion in both houses on the very first day
Congress assembled. In the Senate, Mr. Mason
of Virginia, gave notice of motion, to be
called up to-day, asking for committee to in
quire into the late invasion and seizure of the
armory and arsenal at Harper's Ferry by a
band of armed men, to report whether such
invasion was under color of any organization
intended to subvert the government of any of
the States of the Union; the character of such
organization and whether any citizens not pre-
sent were implicated or accessory thereto by
contributions of money, arms, ammunition or
Otherwise, and to report further what legisa-
ton, If any is necessary for the future pre-
servation of the peace of the country and the
safety of public property; the committee to
have power to send for persons and papers.
This resolution will at once bring before
Congress and the country the positions occu-
| pied by Seward, Hale, Wilson, Gcrrit Smith
and the other parties said to be implicated
with or cognizant of Old Browns desperate at
| tempt to commence the 'irrepressible conflict"
in the South, with reference to that reasonable
design, and will also inaugurate the move
ment in contemplation by the Southern delega-
| tons to demand such constitutional laws as
may guarantee the safety of their property,
and insure protection against future abolition
raids of the John Brown stamp.
| An attempt was also made in the House, by
Mr.. Clark, Of Missouri, to introduce the Har-
per's Ferry subject; but there appeared to be
o determined disposition on the part of the re-
publican members to cry it down.
The opening meeting Of Congress, it will
thus be seen, gives promise of most exciting
| and interesting session, probably the most i'm
portant of any the country has ever witnessed.
