The political spectacular drama of Sey-
mour and Blair. with Pendleton and Val
landigham aud VOORHEES, in the ballet corps,
having been damned by the popular judg-
ment for its indecent exposure of bare De-
mocracy, the management have withdrawn
II from the boards and have substituted the
new piece of Chase and Adams. This
leaves an immense quantity of scenery, fix
lures and theatrical properties which are
of no further use to the management, and
which they are obliged to get rid of in
some way. A public vendue seems to be
the only available method. .-.
The first lot is the Democratic platform,
much shattered, and which the present
candidate has spit upon. The principal
plank is of South Carolina pine, furnished
by Wade Hampton, famous Democratic
worker with edged tools. The greenback
plank is much shrunken. Besides these, it
contains variety of timber, badly put to-
gether, and now much disjointed. The
next lot consists of Frank Blair's letter,
which procured him the nomination. This
epistle, like the book in the vision of St.
John, was at the time very sweet to the
Der ocratic taste, but was found bitter in
the belly. Next to this comes an immense
lot of banners, transparencies, pictures,
inscriptions and notices, which are now of
no further use and must be got out of the
way for what they will fetch. Among these
are notices against negro suffrage, pictures
OF the deplorable results of ''nigger equal
ity"' and 'nigger supremacy" Inscriptions
to ''the white mans ticket" large line
of notices of zone currency for the bond
holder and the people," down with the

sort, too numerous to mention, which is
now Of no further use, and is in the way of
the new piece.
leading feature in the performance. in in
scriptions, speeches, and in the music of
the party organs, will be put up in lot
by itself. The management dislike to
part with this star feature. but they are
going into the opposite line of business.
Another lot consists Of the mammoth green
baekslissued by the Enquirer as ioretaste
of the future dispensation, These are as
large as window blind, and have the
portrait of Mr.. Pendleton, ghastly with
green, looking sinister toward the promise
to pay five dollars. With these will be
thrown in the lesser greenbacks issued to
make the brave Pendleton Escort, when
tney went W INV 1OIk, city OF SeVeral
hundred thousand Democrats, to escort Mr..
Pehdleton into the nomination by the ire
sistible popular pressure of three hundred
Western escopters. For some reason these
are growing scarce, and are now sought for
as curiosities.
Another lot includes all the campaign
speeches and pafty-organ tunes, all set to
the themes of greenbacks for bondholders,
white suffrage, black barbarism, recon-
struction unconstitutional, the abolition of
bank circulation and substitution Of green
haeka, no specie payment, and SO on.
These are no longer OF any use aud must
be put out of sight in order to give the
party support to the new candidates whose
doctfines are the opposite Of al this.
These are but few specimens Of the i'm
menee variety and quantity Of party prop
critics which are thrown out BY this dra-
matte change aud which must now be dis
posed Of. The leading performers will be
Withdrawn from public life for the present
and the stock win be 90 ccstumed as to
cover that bare Democracy which has so
otfended the popular morality.
