THE PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.


The Academy of Music was well flled last evening
to hear the first concert of the season by the
chestra of the Philharmonic Society. As the pro-
gramme has already been considered in the HERALD
in connection with the public rehearsal. there is
no necessity detailed mention of it's rendition
last evening further than to note any change which
occurred.
Mr. Rummel. the soloist Of the OCCASION playing
the piano score Of the Tschakowsky concerto (opus
23 did not do himself the credit that he did the
rehearsal. His touch was less delicate and clear.
and several passages he blurred somewhat. In the
march movement, preceding the finale of the
allegro fuoco, the piano and the orchestra
were not at all together. Aside from these faults
the concerto grandly rendered and
Mr.. Rummel executed the closing in
octaves in q mastery manner. The ride Of the
Vaky yries' was n superb piece of orchestral work,
with but q single marked blemish the brass insru-
ments not prompt in the tempo in the passage
where they carry the theme. but quickly corrected
the error. In the other Wagner selection. Sieg-
tune The Beethoven concerto rendered in
more perfect manner than at the rehearsal. excel
lently as 1t was then played.
Tho large audience, the close attention they gave
to the programme OF the evening. the evident un-
derstandng of the selections, all were pleas
ant evidences of the good work the Phil
harmonic Society has done in New York
and the grand results that to follow in the
future in connection with the object for which
they are strivingthc cultivation OF love OF music
by the people generally.

The Republic of Republics.

A few days ago we came across
remarkable book, of over four
hundred pages, bearing the above
title. Our attention was attracted
toit TO less by its title than by
what seemed ODE rather extfava-
CANT enconiums upon it by the
press, and by some of the most
prominent men of the country.
These eDconiums are meritea.
The antlior (naIne not published
yeti has given us in the Relrr6lic OF
neutrality-suspicious.! last year
not only an exhaustive history OF
the political foundation 81 our
Federal government, and % the
pre-existing states, but has con-
clusively demonstrated from that
history, and from the writings of
the fathers OF our political system
of national and state government,
that both forms of government are
founded on the doctrine of the alb
solute-sovereignty of the individ-
ual States. He shows that this doc
trine was nowhere more strongly
recognized and conteuGed for than
in thesnorthen and eastern states
of the Union, and that it is ex-
prgssly recognized to this day in
the constitutions of those states.
No man who desires to become
thoroughly familiar with the foun-
dation principles Of American in
stltutions, and to be fully advised
of the danger of their overthrow
by the present republican party
beresies of rehabilitation, and
"a strong government" should
fail to read "The Republic of Re-
pubIics" The style of the work
is plain and dispassionate, bat the
book is notwithstanding as inter
e''firs as . novel. It is Published
at Philadelphia, ami is Tor sale by
