that the play is nightly greeted by crowd ed audience, and the basest attack that bss yet been made upon the South is likely not only to do it's damaging work in poisoning the minds of our people, but will possess the additional sin of putting money in the pockets of the base creatures who have club bed together their mercenary brains to pro- duce this outrage
 For this the press is much to blame: the criticisms which have been written on this play, even in the best quarters, have been characterized by secret desire to sustain 1t, or have been the result of willful and be- sotted ignorance. As an abstract dramatic representation, 1t would not live a second night, but when the papers applaud, or teebly denouncing, always add, it is true picture of the South, they give 1t the only indorsement that carries weight and makes it draw" So entirely reprehensible. and so consistent Is this hvpocritical course, that the Times" of Tuesday last. although it had several editorials denouncng the fa- natics of the North, and deploring sectional agitation, and seeminly ambitious to be very fair and conservative, yet in its notice, in another column, of the "Octoroon," 1t is careful to say, that the play is MODE RATE ondtrathym picture of souttern hte," thus, in line, showing its real sentiments of the South and southern people.
 We pronounce again the whole play & libel; 1t is more false than if southern theatrical manager should bring out at New Orleans, or Charleston, a play in which the degraded men and women, and the associa- tions of the vilest stews ofNew York city, were produced, and called "moderate and truthful picture of the best northern life" This representation would be true, at least, of much northern life, but the Octoroon" has not glimpse, if we except old Uncle Peter" that can with truth be termed characteristic of southern life and southern homes

From the Albany Evening journal, 25th.

"PoPULAR SOVEREIGNTY" AND "AGITA-
TIoN. The main argument used in behalf of
the so called popular sovereignty" of Mr..
Douglas, is, that it will prove a panacea for
"savery agitation"
1t has never been tried but once. That was
in the case of Kansas. 1t gave rise then to the
most stormy season of slavery agitation ever
known in our history
And such must be its working everywhere.
Instead of an olive branch it is tirebrand.
If it is once settled, as it was by the ordi.
nance of 1887, that territory is to be free SOIL
there can be no more agitation on the subject
On the other hand, if it is once settled that it
is slave soil, as it was in the case of Louisiana,
there can be no more agitation Oh the subject
But when it is intentionally left unsettled what
but agitation can follow Agitation must con-
tinue and increase in intensity until the ques
ton is decided one way or the other.
Every time new territory is acquired and
half dozen settlers enter it, the agitation will
begin. AS emigration flows in, agitation will
increase. Legislatures will be chosen upon the
slavery issue. Their enactments whether
"untriendly" or friendly to slavery, will give
rise to an animated struggle for repeal Ad-
Their sympathies, il not their Interference, will
be provoked, and thus the agitation" will
spread throughout the Union.
In fact if there ever was a cOntryance cal
culated to embiter and protract agitation" it
is this very device OF Judge Douglas. Let
conservative men, before they lend it the sane.
ton Of their votes, pause moment to reflect
upon its inevitable consequences, if adopted.

MONTREAL, Aug. 1.-THE Examinations on
Saturday night were very brilliant. The

tended divine service at the Anglican cathe-
dral, yesterday, and was met at the entrance
by the bishop and clergy. The building was
crowded. The prince witnessed to-day the
Indian games at the cricket grounds, which
ended with grand war dance in full Indian
costume. The prince was much amused, and
there were several spectators, including the
Boston Fuseers. whose band played God
save the Queen" the men uncoVering. Then
they played yankee Doodle" the prince
uncovering. A heavy shower interrupted the
games.
The princes levee commenced at the court
house at noon, where several addresses were
presented. 1t is settled that the prince will
open the exhibition at Hamilton, on Wednes-
day week, and will leave the same evening
for Chicago, where he will remain one day,
thence 10 the prairies, to st. Louis, Cincin-
natl, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia,

ranged to accept bali at New York instead

New York, Aug. 81 Mr.. Douglas has had
an enthusiastic reception in Norfolk. He spoke
in the presence OF six thousand people. In
the middle of his address a slip from the Nor
folk Argus, containing two questions, was
handed to him. The first was, "Would the
southern states be justified in seeding from
the Union in case oil Lincon's election ?" To
which Mr. Douglas emphatically answered,
"No." The second question was: of the
southern states should secede upon Lincoln S
inauguration, before he commits any overt act
against the constitutional rights of the south,
would he lDouglasl advise or viudicate resist
ancc by force to their secession 2" Mr.. Doug
las answered emphatcally that it was the duty
of the president, and all others in authority
under him, to enforce the laws passed by Con.
gress, aud as the courts expound them, and he
would do all IN his power to aid the govern
ment of the United States in maintaining the
laws against all resistance to them, come from
what quarter it might. In other words. the
president should treat all attempts to break up
the Union as Old Hickory treated the multi
fers in 1882.
