New YORK, August 8, 1856
Our worthy and highly esteemed friends of the
Stevens stripe cry aloud and declare that treason
should be made odious and rebellion suppressed
and in the same breath uphold and sustain by
word and action the infamous attemptlately made
in your city to subvert the State government Il
has done more to bring into disrepute, among its
own friends, this radical faction and its followers
than anything they have yet tried to accomplish.
! The poor negro, whom these very men profess to
i befriend, is made the saddle-horse on which they
propose to ride rough-shod over everything per.
tanning to law, order and good government. Re.
construction, as regarded by these men is simply
farce, and will never be accomplished until we
can have the legislative branch Of our government
composed of men who regard the good of the
country at large paramount TO their narrow.rniud-
ed, preiudiced opinions, as well as their own per
sonal interests. little less of the black man and
a little more of the white man, together with an
earnest desire to bring the States together as of
old, with representation of all interests will ac
complish more, in one-half the time that has been
consumed by the last session of Congress in doing
nothing but fighting the President or fighting
| themselves.
The Philadelphia convention has, of course, its
advocates and its opponents; but the great major
ity are in favor of it, holding that no possible harm
can result from the conferences and general inter
change of views Of Northern and Southern men.
More than probable it will result in harmonious
| action of all conservative parties, SO that the
country can be united in egslating for the people,
Already we hear that attempts will be made by
| certain classes to break up the convention, and
talks of riot and all such kind of "bosh,p evil
IDENTIFY come from the radicals who are certainly
shaking in their shoes, fearing the overwhelming
condemnation Of their course during the last
session of Congress, which will undoubtedly come
from the people through their delegates TO this
convention.
Our first royal lady visitor in the person of her
majesty, the Dowager Queen Emma, of the Sand
witch Islands, reliGt of the late King Kamehameha
", arrived here yesterday morning from England
by the steamship Java. The United States reve.
nue. steamer Jasmine, with representatives of the
government, was ordered to meet the vessel, but
the telegraph failed to announce the arrival of the
Java, SO she gotup in the bay, before the jasmine
knew she had arrived. However she then steamed
alongside and fired salute. After the formaities
of Introduction etc., Her Majesty was received on
board the Jasmine, and upon landing was conveyed
to the Brevoort House. Her Majesty is accompa.
MED by Hawaiian lady and an English lady, who
goes to the Islands to promote her edue tion
Queen Emma will consume several weeks in visit
ing some Of our cities and all objects of interest
to foreigner.
The great sensation of the coming season is the
visit of Nine. Adelaide Ristori to this country.
She, with her troupe, will arrive here about the
middle of next month, and will open about Oct /,
under the management of j. Grau, at the French
Theater, which is being altered and improved
with new scenery, furniture, ETC., Grau having
leased it for year. The admission is to be one
price to all parts Of the house, and then seats
charged extra according to location. According
to the scale Of prices the house will produce $1,000
a nightif filed, which it undoubtedly will be, as
there is very great desire on the part of the |
New York public to see the great tragedienne,
who is pronounced by the greatest European crit |
les to be far superior in every respect to the
world.renowned Rachel. Ali who fail to see this |
greatest of all actresses personate the celebrated
characters included in her repertoire will, with.
out doubt, miss the grandest and most thorough |
representation Of tragic characters that has ever
been produced in America. The engagements of
Nine. Ristori, as far as made, are as follows |
New York, Oct. to Oct. 80 Boston, Nov. ] to |
Nov. loi Philadelphia, Nov, Il to Nov. "a; Balti-
