RepubIieanism and Democracy.

The elementary idea out Of which the Re-
publican party has grown up to its present
proportions is, that all human beings, capable
of bearing arms, and from the functions Of the
sex able to endure prolonged hardships, shall
have the right to vote, In order to protect
their own liberty and the rights and welfare Of
those whom they cherish.
Everything which sloughs off from this
ascending idea, remains behind a. the debris
Of debssed and TRADITIONAL humanity. When
ever these elements are gathered together and
combined upon the common wish for place,
power. and pelf, II becomes what, for the time
being, 10 called the American Democracy.
The one typiaes healthful American pro-
gress, and the other all the errors from which
q free people desire to escape.
The candidate Of the one party must be . d.
rect, square and uncquivocal man, in pursuit
Of the right, who can also afford to be watched
by asensitive sentiment.
The candidate OF the other party must, from
necessity, be one who can represent low In.
stincts and prejudices, and embody in his creed
and within himself the dead and dying ideas
which an advancing civilization leaves behind
as so much rubbish.
The one has the life and movement OF
healthful progress, and the other the inertia
Of a stationary conservatism, which seeks to
perpetuate and curse humanity with old errors.

National Theatre.

| Auber's composition OF THE crown bia-
| monds" was given by the Richings troupe last
| night, for the benefit Of that favorite, Mr..
william Castle. The house Was excellent,
and 1t may be deemed q substantial benent.
Usually an artistic would fare better, pecu-
| niarily, II the "benent" night was q profound
/ secret between himself and the management.
There is popular prejudice against occ asions
OF the sort that leads the public to doubt II
| the performance will be conducted with the
| ordinary psins-taking. Candor impels the
| remark that "The Grown Diamonds" was
not as well rendered as several Of the other
| operas during this engagement. "Maritana,"
on Tuesday evening, was one Of, II not the
| very best. Perhaps 1t is that we take q semi
| national pride that though composed by an
Englishman, 1t was written BY him while .
resident OF this country, and in the language
Of this country. 1t serves as an instance that
may be cited in CONFIRMATION Of the idea that
the English language Is unsuited to musical
| utteranees. Who cares to distinguish the
words In which exquisite harmonious tones
| are breathedf
Miss Richings deserves the gratitude OF the
| American public for her efforts to nation alize
| the opera. She should be encouraged in her
efforts. But she should also remember that Q
generous public would excuse her laboring SO
severely In her vocation. Let her procure the
best voices, noto only to keep up the reputation
she has acquired in contending against the
popular fallscy that nothing but choice Ital-
ian" will do for opera, but in elevating the
standard Of English lyrical performances. 1t
may be said here, that the dialogue ought to
be spoken according to the text. There was .
wild, A. well as wide departure from It last
night, as on former occasions, In which II
must be confessed the charming directress had
some share. We would like to see the day
when an opera or play could be improvised
with continuity Of plot and argument, and In
good English; but until that day arrives. the
public. wa think, would prefer that Justice be
done to authors Of written pieces.
Recurring to the performance last night, the
piece was well dressed and pleasantly pre-
| sented, and several OF the duets, arias, and
| quartettes were agreeably rendered. On Mon
day night will be presented the Czar and
Zimmerman" A matinee in the afternoon
Cinderella land the bohemian Girl " at
night will close this weeks performance. On
Sunday there will be concert Of sacred music,
for which an excellent programme IL arranged.
