224 INTERESTING POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. New York Politics. OUR GENESEO CORBRSFONDANCK. Gunso, Jan. 24, 1355. Letter from Governor Clark's District—The Com, ing Election, §c., $c. Permit.me, as a sbscriber to your valuable paper, te give you an intimation of the manner in which aftairs are conducted in this Gibraltar of whiggery. Through the misfortune of the elevation of Myron H. Olark to the first office in this commonwealth, this, the Twenty-ninth district, is unrepresented in legislative affa'rs. The result of the election called for the 30th must be considered very doubtful, when the power of the executive is brought to bear apon 2 would inquire if Gen. Bruce, Adjutant Gene- ral B. F. Harwood, Clerk of tke Coart of Appsala; Garlirghouse, Sergeant-at-Arms, and Hicks, Deputy Clerk of the Court of Appeals, are sent on here at the expense of the State t> instruct whigs to vote for Jaédge Loomis, the nominee of the farionista, and a democrat. It is refreshingto see the leading hards and softs, woolly whige, &c., all fraternizing together with one common object in view—the re- turn of a Senator from this district favorable to the election of Wm. H. Seward; but I think the spirit of “Sam” will rice in jadgment against them on the 30th.

Wie in Lanchbure—His Cold Reception— The Steengih of the Know Nothings in Lanchburg— His Set Speech—The Danger of Northern Know Nothing Abolitionism to the Party South, §c. Mr. Wiee has been here aud addressed the citi- zecs of Lynchburg, as previously appointed in his card. His audience was a large one for the place, but the reception of his speech was by no means favorabie to bis chances of success. I am aafe in faying that a majcrity of his listeners were Kuow Nothings, which was clearly manifested by the cold silence with which bia remarks were received. The Accomac orator twisted and turned; was now full of snimation, and now sedate and calm, but alito xo purpose. None but the few, the office holders under the sdmivistration, and those who go patty, black or white, good or indifferent, would join in the applause. The speech itself wae precisely the same aa de- livered at Petersburg, excepiing the few lines of ia troducticn, topic atter topic, ard almost seatence after sentence, and word for word. To report it would be to cut the Petersburg speech from the Heraup, ond rend i; to you without alteratioa. The seme quotations were made, the same road ings fiom the sermon of James Freeman Clerk, of Boston, the same application made of these teadings, and aj! delivered with “as nearly as poasi- ble the same gestares, intonstions and theatrical ficurishee. It is set speech which Mr. Wise has, beyor d doubt, prepared for the canvass, and in pity for bis poverty of invention, notwithstanding his yepotaticn as an orator, the people take it as all they could expect from the man. Speaking of Know Nothirgism, in this little town of Lynchburg there are eleven hundred Know No- things cut ot a voting population of only fifteen burdied. No wonder Mr. Wise found it difficult to moke headway against such a mejority. Would’at his friends, trom thess Know Nothing statistics, best consult the interests of Mr. Wise in withdraw. ing him frem the canvass, wud sending him t> Franee, as Minister in place of Mr. Mason? Tais is aiked cf, and the political indications of the day are go char, thatin them the most dall can read. Such an adoption of Mr. Wise by the administration weuld'save bim from the mortificatioa of @ most dirastrous defeat. As to bis prospects, a gentleman teld me to-day, who was a member of the Staunton convention, and who voted for Mr. Wise in that convention #that “be stood no more chance thaa a stumped-tail bull in fly-time.”’ This remark is more expressive than it is elegant, and I suppose means, in Virginia latitude, tkat the Accomac bull, shorn of his political con- sistency, is, figuratively speaking, without a tail while the Know Nothings come down upon the burtless animal in clouds. His bellowings at pre” sent give rare sport to the members of the new and predominant party, like the antics of a monkey ex- citirg merriment in 4 menagerie. It would be balm to a dyspeptic invalid t> be permitted to joia ia the hearty laughter of the Know Nothings, when in meeting arsembled, they take up, sift and examioe the little eloquence and leas logic of the haraagass cf the democratic nominee. Everywhere through out the State the Kuow Nothings are sanguine ot eucerae, and consider Mr. Wise of no moment ia their election, This is not an overdrawn pictare, tor I know how little Mr. Wise ia feared: So much Tor this orator of Virginta, whose favorite thems is the “flesbing of his sword in Northera traitors, and bis determiration not to yield till the biade is brokex in his t ands.” In rega:d to the abolitionizing of the Kaow N oth. img party, I have something to say, as I sug- gested in a letter heretofore. The oaly rovk apon | which the party can poes'bly split is ism izing the party atthe North. If this ever takes place, if antislavery sentiments gets the upper band at home, which God forbid, then down goes Know Notbivgiem in the Scuth. I am led to these sug: gestiocs by the following resolutions, two of a series adopted at the late convention of Know Ncthings in Maevact uretts :— Resolved.

Aust, Texas, Jaa. 13, 1855. The following ticket was elected here to-day: — There was very little opposition to the Candidates, All the above candidates are regular Know Nothings Misscellancous Political Intelligence. THE TWENTY: NINTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT. Ontario and Livingston counties, in this State, have. of a sudden, become one of the most im; nt political battle grounds in the country: and it is impossible to dieguise the fact that upon that arena is to be tested the strength of “Sewardism’’ in this State. To save Seward there, the whig party has been utterly broken up, and what is left of it has been buried in the arms of Chester Loomis, an old democrat, who promises to go fer Seward’s re-election if the people will give him a vote in the State Senate. Itis a fair field and a clear fight amongst the most intelligent farmers of the State, and we look to the result with a lively interest, The Albany Journal (Seward,) says of the election.— ‘The canvass in Ontario and Livingston for Senator pro- mises to be an active one, The ‘“Hindoos’’ having, by means of thelr secret organization, taken that district by surprise last fall, are confident of success by a simi- lar process now. It is not known, outside their lodge rooms, whom they intend to ron. On the other hand. the people, irrenpective of party, have nominated the Hon. Chester Loomis as their candi- date. We should have preferred to have seen a regniar whig candidate in the field, but as the ‘first families” of Canandaigua have succeeded in ditorganizing the whig rty, our friends seem inclined to cast their votes in favor of a free soil temperance democrat, instead of em- barking in a political ‘Borriobcola Gha’’ mission, We find the following description ef the candidate of the Seward men in the Ontario Repostory:— The fusion can tidate for Senator, Chester Loopis, is a barnburoer of the staicteat sect, was a federalist of the olden tim: de violent op x of the war of 1812. This, we believe, his friends will not undertake to di It was meet that his valorous oppos tion to the Am can party in 1812 should be rewarded; aud he is, there- fore, appropriately selected as the candidate to oppose the American party in 1855, A man whose whole sym- pathler and feclingy were with England when the United ‘tates were engaged in a just war with that country for her tyrannous exercise of power—her impressmeat of American seamen—is a proper person to select asa standard bearer for the party which now arrays itself aga'nst American interests, American righta, privileges and preferences. The nomination ef Judge Loomis is just the fittest one that could possibly have been made. His foreign sympathies and high respect for the poten- tates of Europe, including the Pope of Rome, eminently fit him for the service i is expected to render, in case he is elected. The Repository also says that Dr. Thompson, of Al- bany, the man whom Gov. Clark has promised to ap- point Health Officer at New York, (worth $30,000 a year,) is at Canandaigua, having taken the contract of electing Loomis, in the’ Twenty-ninth Senate district. Dr. T is accompanied by Gen. Bruce, one of the Go- vernor’s military family. The Health Officer in expec- tancy, it is believed, will not hesitate to meet all neces sary disbursements with promptitude. ‘The Rochester American «ays:—The whig party of the ‘Twenty-ninth Senate district, composed of the counties of Ontario and Liviagston, where it used to be the strongest, hes, under the lead and management of the central junta here, been swallowed up in baraburnerism. An important election is about to come off there for Sena- tor. But it has been decided by these managers to no whig candidate, and so the Whig Convention w: banded, anc the party with it. The whigs of Oatati and Livingston are expected to fuse, and run with the barnburners of the anti-canal radical sort, and vote for Chester Loomis. Tue OrnpkR o¥ Kxow Someruincs—Taxin PRINcrPLes AND PLATFORM —For some time past there have been rumors about an orzanization similar in soma reapects to the Know Notbings, but based upon anti-slavery principles. The Cleveland correspondent of the Na- tional Lra gives some account of this movement in the State of Ohio. The writer says that the equivocal cha- racter of the K. N.’s on the slavery question bas created uneasiness in masy minds; and the proscription of fo- reigners as a whole, without regard to the question whether they are Catholics or Protestants, is also re- garde@ by many as unjust and unwise. The friends of republican principles in Ohio have, therefore, resolved toestablish an order, to be familiarly known as the Know Somethings. The following is given as anoutline ot its platform :— Ist. Opposition to all forms of tyranny over the mind and body of man. 2d. Neither nature nor the constitution of our country recognizes the right of man to property ia man. 2d. Prinetples aud character, not birthplace, are the true standard of qualification for citizenship. 4th. No man sball receive our votes, ualess known to be opposed to the aggressions of popery and slavery. ith. No slave territories; no more slave States. 6th. All federal offices. so far as practicable, to be filied by a direct vote of ny aed is regarded in Samet of a political despotism under a religions mask, not re: ze as a religion, any more then Mormo! or Buddhism, as it always maves the civil authority servient to the eccle ic, where it has the powe: vir_ue of its claim of infallible supremacy. Of the mode of operation of this new order, the fol- lowing account is given:— «The new order, unlike the Nnow Nothings, proclaims its existence and principles to the world. Each member is at perfect liberty to divulge his own connection with it,but not the names of others, without theirassent. Itskulks into po garrets, ont-houses or woods, in which to hold its meetings, but enjoye the use of comfortable halls and lodge rcome of other societies, paying for the same. It is true the members sit with closed doors, but this is deemed expedient and wise for the preront. it will eventually bold open meetings for discussion and lec. tures, and invite the general attendance of the public, similar to those of the Odd Fellows or the Sons of Tem- perance. Buta certain degree of secrecy will always, perhaps, be necessary for its harmony and efficiency. It is not the purpose of the Know Somethings to make separate and independent nominations of candidates, where men representing their principles are preseated by ‘outsiders’ for support. The grand and fundamental alm of the new order ig to form a league of freedom, of men who will stand by cherished principles, in evil’ ay well ae good report—men who will not be blowa about by every new wind. The order makes no war upon the constitutional rights of the slave «tates, but it will re- nist the aggressions of the slave power by every legal means within its reach, end insist on confining it to its present state limite, at all hazards. | A’'State Council is organized and in active operatior, issuing charters to applicants, who are pouring in from town and country, In due time you shall hear more of the Know Somethings, Jonx C, BRECKENRIDGE RECOMMENDED AS A CANDIDATE FOR Govyrxor oy Kexrecky.—At a meeting of the democrats of Mublenberg county for the purpose of appointiny delegates to the State convention, which is to be held at Frankfort on the 15th of March, the following resolution war passed:— “Resolved, That while we leave our delegates unin- structed as for whom they should vote, we cannot refraio | from suggesting to favorable consideration of the convention the name: Hon.

Matters. RVENTS OF THE WEEK—ANOTHER DEBUTANTE—THE CALIFORNIA AND AUSTRALIAN DRAMA—FORSIGN ITEMS, BTO., BTO. The city theatres daring the past week have not givea us much of novelty. The most interest ing event was the appearance at the Metropolitan, last Saturday, of Miss Mary Agnes (Camoens) as Constance in the “‘ Love Chase.” It is stated that Miss Camoens has not onty never acted before, but that ehe has rever seen this comedy played. It was & fair performarce, and 8 very successful pms pe lady being called out after the second act, and agnin at the fall of the curtain, Miss Camoens will be a fine actress with practice. She is, unless when imitating the gestures and attitudes of a distinguished American actress, easy and graceful. She bas a nice perception of character, a good figure, 8D expressive face, and a voice of exceeding power and aweetness. She dieplsys some affectation in her suéden vocal transitions; time will cure all that Two points of her acting were particularly good— the tcene with Wildrake, where she rallies him on his musical criticiam, ard that wherein be informs her of bis intended marriage. Her exit in this scene should have been more subdued, and a little more repose would have improved the whole performance If Miss Camoens will carefully avoid imitations, re member to speak to the person with whom she is conversing on the stage, avd avoid more than one attitude or gesture to exprees one passion or fact, she may safely hope to win dramatic laurels, and this is ssying a great deal in her favor. Her successful /ébut, altogether unaynounced as she was, Must be giatifying to her friends and the lovers of the American drams generally. The piece was very smoothly played throughout. Mrs. Archibold’s Widow Green was ® capital perfcrmance, and she was calied out. “The Virgin of the Sun” was brought out at the Metropolitan and played through the week. It was well gotten up and well played, but it did not draw.
