The letter of Mr. Fillmore on the Fugitive Slave law, and on the case ef the run- away slave, Crafts, of Boston, will command the approval of every honest and right minded man. The speech of Mr. Clay, is but another proof of his noble devotion to the Union. But from the same Srate, it is our painful duty to announce the death of the Hon. R. M. Johnson, distinguished for a long /ife in the public service. A biographical no- tise will be fourdin our columms of to-day, em- bracing the principal events of his life. Adfowament of the Nashville Convention— The next Presidency. The adjournment of the Nashville Convention, and the proceedings transacted by that body, open to view the Presidential plots and designs, which, we have no doubt, influenced to meeting, end place before us a view of the pro- gramme which the several parties and factions into which the people of the United States, North and South are divided, are preparing forthe great contest which will take plece in the year 1852. As far as seeeesion or disunion is ceacerned, the Nashville Convention has ended in smoke. We question very much if either alternative was, at any time, seriously contemplated by any of the delegates. At | all events, we are obliged» tayassume that it was ; for the reeolutions that were passed by a ma- jority ot six States to one, immediately previous to the adjournment, breathe attachment to the Union. The account which we have received of the pro- ceedings js rather contradictory, and perhaps the Proceedings themselves were. From what we can gather, however, the Convention would not wholly endoree the Tennessee platform of Union and Constitution resolutions, proposed by Messrs. Donelson and Polk, delegates which went the whole figure for union, but adepted a sort of mixed platform, friendly to the Union, but squinting to- wards secession in care of certain contingencies oc- eurring, of which there is not mucn probability. — It is clear that the South Carolina doctrine of se- cession was repudiated; the only kind of secession which they agreed upon being that of seceding from the national conventions for the nomination of candidates for the Presidency. ‘This result is what we expected, and precisely what we predicted some days since. We thea | stated as our opinion, that the convention would end in a pol | movement, having for its object the nomination of a Sou'hern sectional candidate for the Presidency, which we have no doubt will be the cese. This is apparent from the fact that one of the resolutions passed by the conventioa ealls upon the South not to send delegates to the national convention, which is equivalent to a re- eemmendation to form a convention of their own, and nominate a candidate of their own. The re- @emmendation will in ali probability be accepted and acted npon. We are almost certain, therefore, of having a Southern presidential candidate in the field. Let us now take a review of the presidential race eourse, of the several nage and their backers, and ascertain, if we can, what kind of a contest it will be, and what the ultimate result will be, in refer- ence to the question of slavery, and to the different sections of the couatry. « Gen. Scott, as our readers already know, his been nominated by the whis: barnburners, through John M. Clayton, late Secretary of State. The General is a strong man; but he will lose more than he will gain by being identified with the hunker whigs. Be thises it may, Gen. Scott is nag number one. The democratic barnburners have virtually nomi- nated Gen. Sam. Houston, of Texas, as their candidate. General Houston, like General Scott, is aleo a strong man ; but, like the latter, will like- wise lose more than he will gain from his connec- tion with that faction. The General will therefore be nag number two. The Southern States will nominate their candi- date according to the recommendation of the Nash- ville Convention. The Northern whigs will nominate a candidate of their own at their convention, tobe held in Phila- delphia. This will be nag numoer four. The Northern democrats will do the same at the convention to be held in Baltimore. This will be nag number five The abolition whigs having gone against the lion. Daniel Webster tor advocating the compro- mise meacures during the late sitting of Congress may alro pominate their own candidate ; and this will be nag number six As we read the stars of the political firmament therefore we wifl, im all probability, have six caa- didates in the field at the next presidential electioa. It is very evident under the circumstances, that it would be as easy to elect all of them as one. It will be @ scrub race, therefore, and a very fuany and interesting one in all probability. The result will be that the election will be thrown into the House of Representatives, in which body the South, if they manage their cards properly, will be enabled to dictate what candidate shall be chosen This will be a rather interesting state of things, sod according to present appearances the reeult will be what we state. The South can, in euch enee, dictate the policy of the government, and ¢x- great extent its | This will be nag number three. | gle reference to the constitution, of which he is the great expounder, was equally happy and just. Their individual prosperity and freedom, and the rapid growth of the country at large under the pro- tection of the general government, are without an example in the annals of the werld; and their ingratitude, therefore, is base in proportion to the privileges and advantages they enjoy from a con- stitution which is the envy and admiration of the nations of the earth. Mr. Webster leaves this afternoon for Phila- delphia, by the five o’clock train Comruumentary Beverit ro Mx. T. D. Rice.—There is no true friend of the dramatic art that will not be gra- tified in being able to add the value of his influence to make asubstantial benefit for Mr. T.D. Rice, There has not been upon the stage, fer the last twenty years, any man more distinguished tors love of the dramatic art in all its forms, or more liberal towards every professional person striving for popular favor. At the opera, at the ballet, at the debut of a new actor or actress, on the first might of a new play, Mr. Rice always exhibits the first and highest quality of all cri- ticism, a warm sympathy which glows, as he is ready to point out the excellent points which attracted his attention. This is one great merit, for which all artiste, native and foreign, should be willing to testify their admiration—for, in a profession almost devoured by its own bad advisers, ite envy, spleen, and detraction, sound taste and common sense are so refreshing as to merit no ordinary testimonial. There are many other reasons why Mr. Rice should be remembered by his fellow-citizens. He has heen 8 favorite with the public, both in England and in this country, and though iliness and misfortune have de- prived him of the means of rearing kis amiable family ase fond-parent must desire, yet the public, it isto be hoped, will so regard his gentlemanly qualities and virtues, as to give him the most substantial benefit yet recorded in our dramatic annals. Their fuyor will be valuable in its results, this centre of business, stacks and stock jobbers, politics and fashions. A considerable number of the elected law- makers bring on theic wives and daughters with them, for the winter campaign at the federal oity of the levees, balls, flirtations and match-making of that delightful carmval. Two great objects | render a call at New York absolutely necessary. | The members themselves have to meet with others from the various sections of the Union of their particular party, in a sort of preliminary session, to see what is to be done at Washington—how the Topes are to be managed, and who are to pull the wires. About these times, therefore, in the side- rooms of the Astor and the Irving House, litte knots of the M. C.’s aud lobby members may be seen at almost any time of the day, in close con- versation on measures and schemes, and intrigues, pregeant with Presidents, cabinet officers, and foreign ministers; and the general division of the seven great principles of all parties, as described by John Randolph, to wit, the five loaves and two fishes. This is the first object of members of Congress taking New York in their route to Washington. ‘The second is equally important and far more in- teresting to all concerned. Their wives and daughters, and sisters and nieces, and maiden aunts, could n't begin to think of gomg to the capi- tal of this great country in the dresses, bonnets, and fashions of the “rural districts.” 1t would never doia the world. In the east room of the | White House, they would be cut even by the fami- lies of the fourteen hundred dollar clerks. Of course, the fashions of New York have to be con- sulted, to say nothing of Parodi or Jenny Lind, Madame Bishop or the theatres, or the pano- ramas. The fashions are indispensable; and thus while the husbands are plotting for fat jobs, | and President-making, the ladies are looking after | the practical duties of a proper equipment for the winter season at the capital. We have already ad- | vised this interesting claes of our city visiters where the best of bonnets, shoes, shawls, dry goods, and | dancivg masters are to be had; and if they should | desire a daguerreotype to send home in the new | fashions, we should say that Haas, one of the most | experienced in the art on Broadway, or Brady, who has a tine collection, would do it in style. There is a fashion also in jewelry; and old jewel- ry, of the old styles, will get out of fashion. Tif | fany, Young and Ellis, Broadway, have the latest styles, and in reply to any unjust notions of quali- ty, we presume their articles will speak for them- selves. Atall events, they will be the tip of the mode in the federal metropolis at the ensuing seu- son of gayety and fun, and fashienable display. This is truly a great country—a very great country. New York is a great city, and is rapidly becoming the great world’s centre of everything that is desirable. Washington itself is but an out- side village, dependant upon New York; for it is | here that laws and Presidential schemes are con- | eocted; and it is here only where the ladies going | to Washington can be insured of the most styligh and fashionable equipment. Promenane Co: Bishop proposes to establish permanently, promenade concerts at Tripler Hall, and on the most extensive scale evor witnessed in this country. The musical director, Bochsa, already has prepared some extraordinary plans, which pro- mise, when fully carried out. to astonish the public, Music will be combined with scenic effects, go that the most vivid impressions will be created by the en- tertainments, Our population is now equal to that of Paris, and weean support such enterprises. If public manners are only as elegant as thore in Burope—if misnamed freedom does not degenerate into license, that establishes the tyranny of the few over the plea- sure of the many, even dancing, as in the Musard con- certs, mey be introduced at no very distant period. ‘The concerts, however, will give great satisfaction. ‘The New Piay of the Bctrothal, The new play of the Betrothal” ‘was repeated last night at the Broadway Theatre, and in addition to our criticism of its first producti: have but to say that its beauties are more and more apparent on a re- petition, and on a closer study of its language. The piece was admirably well performed throughout, and the author must doubtless be pleased at the enthusi- astic reception it has met with, as well as the care with which it is represented im its various characters, by the talented company of this theatre.
