THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

Yesterday we published the earnest words
of distinguished citizen Of Illinois, who ex-
posed in plain Anglo-Saxon language, the
villainies Of the Copperheads Of the West
and Northwest, who have been employed for
months in trying to obtain place and power
in the Government by the most deceptive.
means The same writer congratulated the
REPUBLICAN upon the course IL has recently
taken in exposing the treachery of the De-
mocracy. s. NIX.
To-day we are able to present to our read
ers communication, which appears below,
on the same subject, from northern New
York. We welcome such evidences Of pa
triotism: -... ...s. .m
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
Your paper Of the 10th inst has the ring
Of the right metal. 1t puts forth facts which
all should read and understand. You most
truly say that the real issues Of the late cam.
paign were not truly and honestly presented
to the people. speak from personal knowl.
edge Of the locality in which ! reside, and
what is true here is true Of other localities,
and throughout the State generally. The
battlecry was not "The Preadent and has
POLICY and the Philadelphia platform" but
aHofman and Democracy" The principles
set forth in the platform Of the Philadelphia
Convention of August l4tL last were totally
IGNORED by the pretended friends Of the Pres.
ident, those eleventhhour converts who are
body and soul chained to the rickety old
reasonable car Of secession.
Another truth now put forth is, that If that
noble veteran, Gen. DIX, had not been wire,
worked out of the nomination for Governor,
the result in this State would have shown q
yery different footing-up The intriguers
and wire-pullers Of New York and Albany
have been taught lesson which they will
not soon forget. Whether they will profit
by II, remains to be seen. Your suggestions
as to organizing anew are both timely and
appropriate, and the sooner move is made
in the right quarter and by the right men
the better. NORTHERN NEW YORKER.
From Ohio, one Of the most earnest sup
porters of the Administration writes us as
follows:
fExtraet from letter dated VILE o. Nov a.
I am very glad you have taken the copper
heads in hand. In our district they placed
in nomination for Congress q man with o
record second only to Vallandigham-it was
only necessary for him to be as prominent
to be equal. OF course no conservative War
Democrat or Republican could vote with
them. They were asked to take Gen. SAM
Beatty-a man who had good record dur.
ing the war, War Democrat, but they de-
clined, and as consequence they were ter
ribly defeated, and as you say in regard tc
New York, they deserve it. Wishing you
success in everything, &C., remain yours,
ONO.

ward twelve, Boston, sent in his resignation
to the School Board on Saturday last, and
then suddenly skedaddled to parts unknown,
leaving behind him forged paper to the

is connected by marriage with one of the
first families Of Boston, and had taught
school in ward twelve for nearly 20 years.

THE war in Germany took the army of
Electoral Hesse by surprise, as at the mo-
ment of the Prussian invasion it was with
out munitions. The staff sent to the Gov
ernment of Baden, begging the loan Of some
cartridges. The bargain was concluded on
condition that the payment should be made
after the war. Peace restored, Baden pre-
sented her bill to the municipality Of Cassel,
who passed It on to Prussia, which has an
nexed the Electorate. Prussia considers the
claim to be just, and pays in sterling coin
for the ammunitions that were TO be used
against her. That supply, 1t is true, did her
very little harm.

a 0rimsA tssunt.

We perceive by The New York press that
the drama Of "GrilRth Gaunt," constructed
from CHARLrs RsADE's novel,vhich has been
so much abused and so extensively read, has
made decidedly favorable impression upon
the patrons of the New York Theatre. Al
though We have not yet witnessed the per-
formance Of the play, we can readily believe,
after perusal Of the novel, that IL is pow
erful and effective one. The story, in which
the passion Of jealousy is displayed in terrible
strength, is highly dramatic. In very able
and just criticism Of Mr.. READE's novel the
London Saturday Review has the following
remarks: ar.b O. ...H. -
"Mr. Reade's mind; after oil, seems to be
essentially that Of dramatist rather than
that of prose novelist. Hence his habitual
resort to the big and heroic side Of character;
and hence, also, his passion for working up
to striking dramatic situations-si situations,
that is to say, whose full force may almost
be said to depend upon stage representation.
Take the scene, for example, between Crit.
fifth Gaunt and Kate, in the epresence Of their
guests, when the latter has discovered her
lords misconduct; or, still better, that other
Wnere mercy Nnt makes inc corresponding
discovery; or, most intensely dramatic Of ALL
perhaps, the interview between Mrs. Gaunt
and the luckless Mercy. These are all ad-
mirably worked up; but, though writing prose
fiction, the author has conceived his situa-
tions in the dramatic spirit, and they have
in consequence an air which for prose is all
but too lofty and high-fown. Just as Grif-
fifth Gaunt is an impersonation of more than
normal intensity Of passion on one side, so
the heroine rises above the ordinary prosaic
level on another side. They both, that is to
say, wear the cothurnus. They are both
taller and bigger and stronger than the plain
folk Of the novel proper. And in q drama
this is the true method" &c.
1t will be seen from the above that the
story Of Griffith Gaunt was eminently fitted
for dramatization for the stage, and we are
not surprised that it should have had Q pop
ular run in New York. Rose EYrrNGE's i'm
personation Of Kate Peyton is spoken Of as
admirable in every respect; and we hope to
see the piece brought out at Walls Opera
House, where Miss ErrISoE and talented
company are engaged for the congressional
theatrical season.
