PAUNCEFoRr's ATHENEUM.-Th play last
night was the tragedy of Othello; and it was
performed throughout in manner that reflect
ed great credit on the manager. Indeed it is
not usual for the plays of Shakespeare to be SO
well used by actors as was that last night.
The principal characters fell to the lot of capa-
bic and studious actors, and it was a good per.
Torrance of a difficult tragedy. Mr.. Couldock
as Iago, Mr.. Pauncefort as Othello, and Mrs.
Pauncefort as Desdemona, were all excellent.
Mr.. Couldock is rare tragedian, and we are
sorry that he is to remain here but two nights
more.
Tonight, the exciting drama of Willow
Copse, with Mr.. Couldock and Mrs. Pauncefort
in the principal characters, will be given again;
and this play is not often performed as well
anywhere as it was here last Monday night.

MISSOURI AND THE NEXT PRESIDENCY

AT Lexington, Mo-, a few days since,
meeting, calling itself "Whig," passed strong
resolutions against the course of the democrat
ic party, nominated Hon. EDWARD BATES for
the next presidency, and took measures for tho
holding of an Opposition" state convention at
Jefferson City on the 28tIl day of December
The whole significance of this meeting lies in
its nomination of Mr.. Bates for the presiden-
cy. 1t is the beginning of deliberate move
ment in Missouri for bringing forward Mr.
Bates and placing him prominently before the
Republican National Convention. Therefore
we quote here what that Lexington meeting
said on the slavery question. 1t spoke thus
awe charge and arraign before the country
the democratic party with originating in Con
gress and persistently prosecuting all those
sectional and exciting questions that have SO
fearfully nfiamed the public mind, shaken the
government to its foundation, and well nigh
rent asunder the union of these states by its
vacillatng policy in regard to the territories
and unprecedented extravaganza, by its gross
corruption and its abuse of patronage in an
pontments to and removals from office"
This is all it said concerning slavery. Be-
sides the old wings represented by this meet
ing, the Opposition" in Missouri consists of
the free soil Benton democrats, represented by
the st. Louis Daily Democrat, and f. p.
Blair, Jr., and the numerous German free
sellers represented by the Anzeger des West
ems; and to see what is likely to be done for
Mr.. Bates in Missouri, it is necessary to know
what viii be their responses to this action of
the wings. The st. Louis Democrat responds
with much courtesy and sympathy, and SAYS
much in favor Of Mr.. Bates. The Democrat
says he will not be candidate in 1860, unless
adopted by the republicans and that paper
would not support him eff his election would
compromise a single principle of the Republi.
can creed, endanger in any degree the Repub
lican party, or adversely affect its policy"
The Democrat says Of his position on tho
slavery question:
"The question Of sloyery in the territories
y the great issue involved in the next Presi
DENTAL election. No man, we take II, can OBJ
'A'h 'he nomination from the Republican Con
