THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: BATURDAY.............Nevember 10, 1860. Spirit of the Morning Press. The Constitution treats upoa Republican con- servatism, and upon the “present and ultimate objects’’ of the party. ‘The Intelligencer discusses the Secession move- ment in South Carolina. DP Governor Hicks, of Maryland, following the example of the Governors of nearly all the States of the Union, has designated Thursday, the ‘20th instant, as thanksgiving day In Maryland. 7 The Bell men have the balance of power in the New Jersey Legislature, but the repabli- cans have the Senate, and can thus confirm the, nominations of Gov. Olden, which hitherto they could notdo. ~ Mcsic._—Metzerott has just laid on our table two songs, one entitled, ‘‘Circled found with Jasmin Spray,” and the other, “I would not to Earth re- call Them,” published by Ditson, both of which have merit, and the last named a beautiful plain melody.

It will probably be one of the most interesting sessions ever held since the commencement of the State Government A United States Senator, a Judge of the Supreme Court, and three Judges of the Superior Court will be elected, and other matters of great and vital importance will be discussed and disposed of.

The ques- tions which now distract the people of that sec- tion being of great delicacy, noth will be done by Executive authority that would tend to exasperate the public tmod against the General Government at this juncture, while, however, the President will perform his duty of duly enforcing ¢ laws.

(| 8Lac WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. _——. Tux Tutatex.—The Washington public owe thanks to Manager Glenn for the manner in which he has commenced his current season. His stock company is decidedly the best that hes played upon the boards of the Federal metropo!is for years past, as well as his orchester,which isa very superior one, and,we are happy to add, composed. wholly of Washington musicians. Stage-manager Bland is also nightly winning golden opinions by the manner in which he places his pieces upom the stage—the costumes and attention paid by all the corps to the ‘« business” of them (the plays) being unexceptionable. In these matters the im- provement over what our play-goers have been accustomed to is very remarkable, and cannot fail to tll most satisfactorily upon the nightly receipts of the treasurer. In no other American city have these two essentials been more neglected hereto. fore; while in no other are they likely so to in- crease the nightly average of the number of pa- trons of the house The sterling comedy of ‘The Rivals” was as well and as satisfactorily played on the night before last by the company, as ever before in the United States—even in the days of Wood and Warren, and the elder Jefferson, whose grandson on this occasion reminded those of our elder fel- low-citizens present so forcibly of him, who, cast in the same part, rendered the name of Jefferson theatrically illustrious. His (the younger Jef- ferson’s) conception and rendition of the part was a rare histrionic master-piece, indeed ; nor was Mrs. Mann’s ‘‘ Mrs. Malaprop”’ less deserving of the praise it received—both being achievements of which actors may well be proud ——_._—_. Me. Dovetas will, it is said, make, in a few days, a great Union speech;imthe South. it is stated he will visit Columbia, S.C., during the session of the Legislature. if he should visit Columbia the probability is, that finding that town too hot to hold him, he will leave it in a burry in the course of the first night after his ar- rival. As for his proposed great ‘Union speech,” it strikes us that be had better “save bis breath te cool his porridge.” After the result he has brought about in the recent election, to attempt to thrust his advice upon the South concerning the proper course for them to pursue in the diffi- culties into which his mad ambition, his late alliance with the Republican party, and his un- principled mendacity have plunged that section of the Confederacy, will, ten to one, prove an act of impudence so unblushing, as that no commu- nity ta'the cotton States, will permit it to be per- Petrated in their midst. ee A Coxracrion.— Yesterday, in ‘‘correcting Proof,” a compositor so transposed a sentence in ovr article headed ‘“‘Amiable Still’ as to make nonsense of it. As published it read— “We, however, trust that in due time it will row sufficiently cool to appreciate the difference tween Lincoln, seeking to propitiate and repre- bending palpable efforts to bring about a revolu- tion because the election has fairly gone against one’s wishes.’” As written, it should have read— **We, however, trust that in due time it will w sufficiently cool to appreciate the difference | Sete seek to propitiate Lincoln, and repre- bending palpa: le efforts to bring about a revolu- tlon because the election has fairly gone against one’s wishes.”” pa meena Orsratic—We learn that the Operatic treat we are to have from such Performers as Formes, Stigelli, and Fabbria, will be given at Willards’ Hall on Wednesday night next.

After the meeting, a large concourse of citi 5, numbering many thousand, met at the Charleston Hotel to form a procession to calt wu) the officers of the Federal Govergment who ha. resigned their commissions.

He said it was not a question ot action, but only of the form of action; ressions of the North would force the Rout “to move as States, if that be possible, but if not, to move themselves, and take upon themselves the vindi: cation of their rights. He closed his remarks amid deafening cheers, as the hour had arrived for the procession to form. The mass, headed by a band of music and under escort of the Wash- — Artillery, then moved off to the residence of bis Honor Judge Magrath. On the arrival of the procession at the residence fos the a S) a in enesto to the loud meter ne le, Judge rath appeared and ad- drested. the crowd for’ about ten minutes.

He looked upon the actions of this day as the first gun of the revolu- tion, the sound of which will be vibrated back from the fifteen Southern States He hoped the Southern States would be united, put if hot, South Carolina would alone meet the issue.

Hence it was Updigpcadlsare (2 to lay before the Court some matters sug, b the indictments submitted to them; but Ne pa of yesterday seem to render this unnecessary now. The verdict of the northern section of the Confed- eracy, solemnly announced to the country through the ‘box on yesterday, has swept away the last pope for the permanence, for the mabliity of the Federal Government of these sovereign States; and the public mind is constrained to lift itself above the consideration of details in the adminis. tration of Law and Justice, up to the vast and sol- emn issues which have been forced upon us. ‘These issues involve the existence of the Govern- ment of which this Court is the organ and the minister. In these extraordinary circumstances the grand jury respectfully decline to proceed with their sentments. They deem this expla- nation due to the Court and to themselves. ‘Thereupon his Honor addressed the grand jury, saying In the course of his remarks: The business of the term has been disposed of, and, under or- inary circumstances, it would ‘be my duty to dismiss you to your several avocations, with my than ‘or your presence and aid.

Men who are im debt, and who could, if indulged. pay out, have been pushed to insolvency, and anything like new enterprises is dreamed of by nobody.

A jadgment thus rendered, a demand for separation so backed, would either be acquiesced in without the effasion of blood, or those who rushed ‘upon carnage to er em defeat it would place themselves clearly in the wrong.” The New York Post, in a similar spirit, says: “Our rejoicing at the success we have obtained should be absorbed by the reflection that we have taken upon ourselves iinmense responsibilities which we must consider how we shall faithfully discharge. For two years to come we must expect to find a majority in both Houses of Congress in- fluenced by a spirit of disgust, if not of hostility, to the Republican administration. We must have patience to wait till, by a wise and impartial course of conduct, by a strict regard to the rights of the States, by a careful abstinence from every doubtful exercise of authority, by a frugal admin- istration of the finances, arid by the selection of wise, able and upright men as the agents of the 3 teehee in every post, distrust shall be changed. confidence, and hostility disarmed of it weap- ons.

Our success in the election, by deciding one ques- tion, the extension of slavery to the Territories, has deprived our party of one im, t bond of unton, one of the most powerful causes which have attracted to it the in'erest and favor of the people. Its place can only be supplied by an earnest endeavor to distinguish the Repubfican administration by an enlightened zeal for the public welfare.”” The New Orleans Picayune says: ‘ Lenisiana, we venture to affirm, will neither lead nor follow in any secession movement.
