Little did the undersigned imagine, when he opposed the recent nomination of John Graham as District Attomey, made at Tammany Hall, and, also, when he opposed his election before the peo- ple ot this city, on the ground of his utter unfitness, both in temper and capacity, for the office—litle did the undersigned suppose that what he said would so soon be justified and verified by events and acts of a character equally in keeping with the candidate, his capacity, end his subsequent defeat. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, the ninth imst., as | was walking down Broadway in company wilh my wife, on reaching the corner of Broadway and White street, | was assatled by a gang of rowdies and ruffians, headed by the same John Greham, late candidate for District Attorney, and bis brother, DeWitt Grebam—-an employée in the Custom House, under Hugh Maxwell—and also Charles K. Graham, another brother, with a ferocity and a violence that seemed to justify the belief that marder or manelaughter had been premeditated by | the assailants. Two police officers of the Sixth ward—whoee names | do not know—witnessed the aseault, but made no effort to preserve the peace of the city from such a gang of ruffians. The avowed object of this gross violation of the | law was stated by De Witt Graham, onthe spot, to be the opposition which was recently made by the New York Herald, to the nomiaation and election of Joho Grehem as District Attorney. I replied So hum, on the spot—‘' | have doae nothing but my duty in opposing the election of John Graham. Neither you nor all the rufians you can assemble, | shall intimidate me from pursuing a course which I | | believe to be right. In opposing John Graham, I | was right; and so ‘he people of New York have de- sided.’ The assault and the assailants will soon eccupy the attention of the criminal authorities; aud probably one of the firet cases Ghat wil ve brought before the new District Attorney, will be this gross violation of the law, perpetrated by his late antagonist at the polls With respect to the cause of this attempt at | murder, by a band of ruflians headed by John Graham and his two brothers—De Witt Graham | aud Charles K, Grabam—I have only to say, that, | im the course pursued by this jouraal in relation | te John Graham, from the time of his nomination to the day of election, I was perfectly justified, in every respect, for every statement I made, and, moreover, had a perfect legul right to oppose his | election on the grounds as they were stated. No- | thing libellous, nothing personal, was published; but | hue public and his professional character was urged | on the voters of this city as a reason for withholding from that man their suffrages at the recent election. | P The course pursued by me, in this journal, has | deen justified by the result of the recent election, | and sanetioned by the votes of the people of New York. That result has now received even a double sanction; and additional evidence has been given of the h of the statements made against the fitness of Joha Graham, by the perpe- tration of the brutal event which took place yes werday morning As this matter will become the sub, f crimi- pal investigetion before the judictal authorities of | shall forbear moking any farther state vever, I t w my zen of this republic aud a the city, | meats or remarks shall content m rights and duties ing:~ I member of this community ; and all the assassins aad ruffiane that may skuik from th ttery to ig shall never intimidate me from the éaily performance of those duties, or the vindica- von of every legal right that belongs to me J.

And wheo the vilest and moet vulgar corruptions creep into the temple of Tammany, an‘ control ite nomi- wations, they should be expeiled just as unceremo- niously. The democrats, in conniving with such eorruptions, ave been properly rebwked; and for the fature, it is to be hoped they will cease to pan- der for the votes of rogues, by abandoning the ae- lection of disturbers of the peace as candidates for ‘she administration ot the laws. Good will yetcome ow of Nazareth, su | sical art, public criticism should be faithful. Tue New Jen triumph in New Jersey has astonished both par- ties. The whigs counted upon the State. Person- ally, their candidate for Governor was a@ pepular man; and the necessity of a whig Legislature to secure the re-election of Mr. Dayton to the United States Senate, put the whigs to it to do their very best. Auxiliaries from adjoining States were called into service. The only [rish whig stump orator of New York, “Richelieu,” of the Tribune, backed up by Greeley himself, abandoned the cause of Kingsland and Hunt to take the chances, and croseed over into Jersey to exterminate locofoco- ism in that benighted Stote, root and branch. The result is a Slievegammon victory, with the “killed and wounded scattered along the road to Dublin for twenty miles.” Why is this? The causes are easily explained. The New Jersey whigs in the House, and in the Senate of the United States, at the last session, opposed the compromise measures, and sided with Seward and his school of arch agi- tators. Upon such issues and upon the railroad mo- nopolies, the whigs took their stand. But in all these things, the hide-bound, straight laced whig party were behind public opinion—behind the pub- lie interests—behind the conservative union feel- ings of the people, and behind the times. Mr. Wil- driek, the only democratic member in Congress from the State, voted for the compromise bills, in- cluding even the much abused Fngitive Slave law. The result is significant enough. The delegation in Congress is reversed, from four whigs and one democrat to four democrats and one whig; and a democratic Legislature will no doubt choose one of their own party to succeed Mr. Dayton in the Senate. We have no deubt the Union meeting, at Castle Garden, did much to strengthen the Union feeling in New Jersey. The result in our own State indicates, also, clearly enough, that had the Union movement been commenced a few weeks earlier, followed up with similar meetings in the interior, we should have had a like result in New York. We should have had the Syracuse Seward resolutions piled up with the ruins of the Buflalo platform end anti-masonry, and other worn-out political lumber and rubbish. As it is, we have “scoiched the snake,” if we have not killed it. Let the Union movement be followed up, and Seward and his gang of demagogues and fanatics, may yet be disposed of before the Presi- dential election. Mvsicat E: Criticism, Critics, anp Pximz Donne.—lIn this city we have three of the greatest vocalists of Europe. There is Parodi, the soul of tragic opera; Jenny Lind, the genius of the comic lyric stage; and Anna Biehop, the high priestess of the oratorio. We have given already sketches of the triumphs of the first two. In our columns will be found a history of the latter. Such talent and genius in this metropolis, at one time, of course creates vast public interest. Towns far in the interior are sending deputations, every day, to listen to these great artistes Here isa private letter from a town on the Connecticut river, which gives an insight into the provincial excite- ment:— All the town has been to hear Jenny Lind, M. Bishop, and Paro The E—s, Mre v Sor yon dey, and will return on and Parodi. Sabra and A great many went from No1 They went, got their tickets $725.

The * wilful nature, unto gressness,” was an imputation on the private character of the filial and gentle minded Parodi, that has no justification, even in malice. It is not by such aids that Jenny Lind is to be exalted. Jenny Lind neede no such advocates. In giving Parodi her just deserts as an artiste, Jenny _ Lind’s qualities are not abridged. We heard Jenny | Lind in London. These small critics have never heard her. The concert room isthe mere pattern card of her great excellence. She has no superior as an | artiste, in comic opera. In her own rdle, she is wonderful, beautiful, and brilliant—just as Parodi is in her's. In her acting she is great—as great as ‘arodi in the tragic style. The Tyibume critic knows nothing about her, therefore, and much less does he know about music generally. The small and long critie of the Courter and Enquirer, is equally in error in his estimates. He knows not | how to appreciate great merit. Accustomed to | hear second and third rate vocaliste, all his thoughts level to Laborde as the standard of excellence. Sometimes he speaks of Grisi, whom he has never hearé—tometimes he speaks of a perfect expres- ion ee a gtin—sometimes of the most wonderful and dramatic shake as the emanation of a tea-ket- | tc and thus goes on from one gressness to an- | other, till he shows himself as incapable of describ- ing the triumphs of a great vocalist and actress, | as he is of appreciating them. It is an abuse of the term to call such writers musical critics. They know nothing about criticism Mixed up with cliques, they gather ell sorts of opinions, and are never found in the same place. Their estimates are es errenrous lection returns in the firet heat of the conflici\—now one way, now another. However, they are rather small game—and only fit subjects for ridicule and laughter. They cannot afiect the glorious cireer to which Parodi is dew tined—Parodi, who has passed triumphantly through Ita y and London, performing Norma five consecutive nights in the British metropolis, and her other roles, through the last season, with | a suceeas undiminished by that of Jenny Lind or Sontag. Now afl these artistes are truly wonderful in their way. Parodi is the greatest tragic artiste and vocalist on the stage—Jenny Lind the undis- puted mistress of comic réles—and Anna Bishop the head and front of oratorios. different. Each is an artiste perfectly finished in ber peculiar line ; and detraction of one cannot ex- alt the other. They should all be heard, and when they are listened to with true sympathy and admi- ration for art—without which there can be no cri- ticism—each will charm the auditor. Parodi has | the odvantage, because she has the stage—but when she appears in the concert-room, she will stand on equal ground with her illustrious com petitors, and she will be found one of the graces of eong.

Laurcnre—At Rocklond, Me., 6th inet Mr Ce. pas Barrett, 8 ship of 5 ati yo ety 10 be The Question of the Day, The County Judges haviag been appointed by the United States Circuit Court, for this district, in accordance with the provisions of law, United States Commissioners, under the several acts of Congress providing for the creation and defining the duties of those officers, Judge Johnson, of Kings county, has deelined to accept the appoint ment, for reasons set for.h in a letter which has been published in one of the abolition papers. The Temer is confined to a legal view of such of the duties of the commissioners as arise under the recent act providing for the rendition of fugitives from service, and, so far as its terms are concerued, might be deemed censcientious and unexception- able. But why, instead of allowing it to rest with the court to which it was addressed, hes such hot haste been exhibited to publish it to a small portion of the world, in the columns of the Evening Post ? The reason can be penetrated through the grave garb in which it is clothed, without the least diffi culty; and no one will be at a loss te perceive Judge Johnson’s abolition bias, and his purpose to invite the opportunity to review, under a habeas corpus, the power of a commissioner to hold fagi- tives under the recent act. ‘This is the plain truth, without any judicial humbug or hypocrisy. So much for the publication. We now propose to deal with the remarkable logic of this letter, and, for that purpose, will take a fair start. Shortly after Commissioner Gardiner had deli- vered up the slave Hamlet, in faithful compliance with the proviaions of the law, the Hon. Wm Jay, of Westchester, now or formerly a county judge, addressed to Mr. Downing, and a number of other black gentlemen. a letter scarcely adapted to their capacities; for no doubt Downing, between the time of rising in the morning and of opening his first oyster, had found time to possess himself of a more correct knowledge of the laws and the cons tution than that letter exhibited. Mr. Jay has been pretty well known in this community for some years past, in connection with the negro race. He is an abolitionist of the darkest shade, and one of the most fanatical and persevering agitators. If he had lived in the days of,the Pilgrim Fathers, he would probably have been banished at a town meeting, as “a pestiferous fellow, and a mover of sedition.” The fact that he has held the office to which we have alluded, and that he is one of the sons of a great patriot and learned jurist, has in- duced many well-disposed people to suppose that reliance ought to be placed upon his representa- tions. In order to see how much, let us take one of his letters—that of which we speak—in hand: ex wno disce omnes. He states that the duties of United States Commissioners have heretofore been confined to the taking of affidavits, &c., and that they were not deemed worthy of being entrusted with judicial powers, until the late act invested them with authority over the most sacred rights of mankind. This is the substance of a long tirade, Their styles are and the goed, honest reader might believe it; bat there is not a word of truth init. The fact is that these officers have been invested with judicial powers, in the sense denoted by Mr. Jay, for many years, as every reader, whether of the laws or of the newspapers, must be aware.— They entertain complaints of all criminal offences against the laws of the United Stetes ; and, ac- cording to their jndgment, they commit or dis- charge, they admit to bail or refuse to bail, mail robbere, pirates, murderers on the high seas, We., &c. Thus they have long acted in many cases involving both liberty and life. In addition to this, they have had, from the beginning, equally plenary powers in the cases which arise under our treaty stipulations with foreign States, providing for the extradition of fugitive criminals—a class of cases strictly analogous to those arising under the *Fugi- tive From Service” act, excepting in this—that they more generally concern the life and liberty of white men. So much for the facts of Mr. Jay. His de- ductians are eqnally reliable. Ife is shocked that the law should give control over the liberty of a man, to a class of officers to whom it does not en- trust the determination of the ownership of a horse. A similar remark would apply with equal force to all tribunals of limited jurisdiction—the higher, the more strongly—and is quite worthy of Dog: berry. With Mr. Jay, we believe, originated the idea of the unconstitutionality of the exercise by Usited States Commissioners of the powers conferred upon them by the “Fugitive From Service act”—an idea certainly worthy to be a scintillation from so brilliant a source. After having been promulgated through various channels, in various crude forms, Judge Johnson has given it definitive shape in the letter to which we have alluded, and to which we now turn. Let us take his own words:— ‘The constitution of the United States says, that‘ the joial power of the United States shall be vested in din peeps of courts as the The power conferred upen me by virtue of this order of the Circuit Court is, im one case at least, clearly judicial ; in the words of the act, commonly known as the Fugitive Blave law, “to hear and deter- mine the care of such claimant. on satisfacter: Poel being made e of identity, ke as 0 this power upon me iy. ordained or cee egy bd a — it has no authority to ate power of ap, a I am forced to oy the authority T should be calle to act, were I open the barge of ‘he juties of the office. j Passing by the singular obtuseness of Judge Johnson, in not being able to distinguish between apower created and a person appointed to dis- charge it, we should like to know what Congress has to do with the appointment of individuals to the exercise of public functions. The Senate has, indeed, an advisory and conse: power in regard to the nominations of the President; but the powers of the Congress of the United States are merely legislative. Congress may prescribe the class, character and qualifications of the officer, or officers, who may be charged with a public duty under its laws, but it eannot appoint the in- dividual, and of course cannot delegate a power | which it does not possess. The constitution, how- ever, confers express authority on Congress to vest the appointment of officers in the courts of law. Ite language is— 7, coeeanek of think proper, in the a courts of law, or in the heads of departments. But the most singular feature of his letter is, that Judge Johnson, in full contemplation of the proba- bility that the question may come before him for consideration, hastens to the foregone conclusion that the power conferred on the commissioners is clearly judicial, in the sense of the constitution. That it is clearly judicial in an abstract sense is true; but whether it is judicial in the sense of the constitution, depends upon the definition which that instrument attaches to the term. According to the constitution, the judicial power of the United States extends to all cases in law or equity arising under its constitution, laws, or treaties. But the right to the service, whether of a slave or an appren- tice, does not so arise; it arises under the laws of the several States. A case in which that right is contested is not, therefore, a case over which the judicial power of the United States, as entrusted to judges holding office by @ certain constitutional tenure, extends. In the fugitive from service act, Congress provides the ministerial means by which the provisions of the constitution for the extradi- tion of fugitives from service can be carried out; and the judges and commissioners acting under it, act ina ministerial, and nota judicial, character. Ia clothing the ministerial officer with powers of a judicial nature, it does what is done in many analo- gous cases, of which there are daily instances, and with which every judge ought to befamiliar. The case is heard and determined, in the sense of the aut, not for a judicial, but merely for a ministerial purpore—to establish a sufficient cause for the extradition of the fugitive. It is not until he is removed to the State from which he has fled, that the ease comes within the juriedi¢tion of a tribunal compr tent to act upon it jodicialy In Wike man- ner, United States Cominissioners and other offi- cers, sitting a8 committing magistrates, exercise their functions ministerially, and for the prelimi- nary purpose of bringing the offender withia the scope of the authority which isto pass upon the case judicially ; although in so doing they exercise powers of a judicial nature, and are competent to discharge the accused. If this was not enough of Judge Johnson, we would enter into the discussion of the remaining paragraph of his letter, in which he conceives that it would be allowable in case of the prosecution of a writ of habeds corpus before him as county judge, toentertain the objections which he has stated, and which we have disposed of to the sufficiency of a commissioner’s authority. No doubt it is good enough law for an abolitionist, that a county judge of a State may determine the jurisdiction and authority of a tribunal of the United States. The preposterous and disreputable blunders which we have thus exposed, run through all the posi- tions assumed by the fanatics in 1egard to this act; and hence it is, that they number in their ranks so few men who have been at all distinguished for sense or sound information. The only persons of note connected with them, have been otherwise distinguished, as politicians by trade, ambitious, and unprincipled demegogues. The shallowness of ‘heir philosophy, the absurdity of their deductions, the absence of all comprehensiveness in their views of soeiety, the utter deficiency of veracity which they exhibit, ceuld not but outrage the feel- ings and disgust the minds of men educated perso- nally toa conformity with the propricties of life, and intellectually to an observance of the dictates of reason. In their denunciations of the act, they set out with a misnomer, calling it the Fugitive Slave act, whereas it is an act providing for the extradition of all fugitives from service ; as well apprentices for a term of years, as fugitive slaves, and as efficacious between the free States, as between the slavehold- ing and non-slaveholding States. The writ of habeas corpus has been discussed as if it had here- tofore secured, or could ever secure,a right to liberty on the part of an actual fugitive from ser vice ; oras ifit could avail a person held in cus- tody accerding to law. After having excited in the minds of simple people an exaggerated and undefined idea of the nature of this writ, and induced them to attribute to it some magic virtue, by which at once the law could be vindicated and the offender rewarded, the agitators have raised « great outcry about its alleged abolition in the case of a fugitive from service—an outcry false in con- *truction; for no law could abolish a writ secured by the constitution; and false in fact—for the “Fu- gitive from Service” act makes no allusion to the habeas corpus. The kind of writs which it con- templates, are such other writs, not secured by the constitution, as, if allowed to interfere, would be constantly resorted to, to defeat the law—such as writs of attachment, of capias ad satisfactendum, &c. The fugitive might have contracted a legal obligation in the State to which he had fled, which would give these writs authority over his person, and thus expose the claimant to vexatious delays and manifest injustice; but the writ of habeas cor- pus, if law be administered, could interfere but momentarily with the rights of the claimant Another subject of terrible catawauling among the fanatics, has been the alleged deprivation of the right of trial by jury. We say alleged, for, in re gard to this outcry, too, there is not a particle of foundation for it. The act does not affect the right of trial by jury, but only the venue. The certifi- cate of the commissioner as to the nature of the service due from the fugitive to the claimant: does not confer or establish the title, but only pute the subject at rest, until the fugitive is returned to the place whence he fled. When he gets there, if he be an alleged slave, and have any probable claim to freedom, there is not a slave- holding State which does not prescribe a method for the prosecution of that claim, and the trial of the fact by jury. So far as our knowledge extends’ he is entitled to prosecute it in the form of a pauper, at the public expense; and the ablest members of the bar are forward to seek the position of his ae- signed coungel, which is regarded as affording a rare field for the display of forensic eloquence. But it is impossible to reason soberly with men who, ‘from obliquity of purpose, or de- rangement of intellect, pervert the simplest lan- guage, falsify the most evident facts, and rush blindly to the most ridiculous conclusions. We do not entertain the idle expectation that truth or reason can make any impression on the | commingled free soil, abolition, Fourierite, infidel | and woman’s rights party. From Martin Van Buren and William H. Seward, the arch dema- gogues, who are looking to a Northern Presidency, | to Frederick Douglass and Samuel Ward, (black men), who have equally distinguished pretensions, through the host of such inferior lights as Abby Kelly, Horace Greeley, Sojourner Trath, Ward Beecher, Rosa Lee, William Jay, Lueretia Mott, Garrison, Mercy, Weed, and others, they are “Proof and bulwark against sense.” And yet these people and their followers consti- tute a formidable party, espousing one side of the only substantial question now dividing the coun- uy. They are the abolition party, engaged in an effort to abolish—first, the union of these States, an! then the distinctions of color, and those social institutions which are the result of the wisdom of | ages. Against them, is arrayed a party most pre | perly designated as republican, composed of men of established moral views, who keep in sight the imperfections of our nature, and whose habits of thought and action are founded on the old conti- nental school. The sooner the empty party die tiactions of whig and democrat are abandoned, and the old party cobwebs brushed away from the brains of men, the sooner we have aciear fieldend | a fair fight on the only substantial topic of the day —the better for ourselves, even though it be too | late to save the Union.

Mere she rose to the height of her voice, and poured ferth » flood of delicious toned music In the second act—or, rather, in the scene in which she ccnfronts Pollio—her vocalization and acting wore truly wonderful, and the least that the audience could do, was to call her. out @ second time to receive their plaudits This wes done with great enthusiasm.

The former scenes had displayed a voice of surpansing height, depth, and force; but in this the tendernese of expression was paramount. The last scene, however, was atriumph such as we ean never hope to find surpassed. The “son io” was every attitude, melody, d faceastudy. We have not space to do justice to the subject. Parodi was called out five or six times during the perform- ance, bouquets were thrown at her feet, and she was acknowledged every side, ne worthy of the highest adwiration, Lorini rang well.
