. oe Massachusetts Politics. OUR WORCESTER CORRESPONDENCE. ‘Worcasran, Sept. 16, 1859. The Democratic State Convention—The Nominations—The ‘Presidential Question—Popular Sovereignty among the Yankees, de. The annual assembly of the Bay State democracy in Btate Convention seldom fails to be of much interest to the political world. Not that the party is peculiarly strong in Massachusetts, or that its members are par ex- ceilence the bright and shining lights of the national organi- zation—those to whom the faithful, unterrified, look for the dogmas of their political creed, and from whom they aro accustomed to select their standard bearers. The demo- crats here for a long time have been in an almost hopeless minority, «and among their leaders are many of such dubious reputation that the party is often regarded as de- serving as little esteem for respectability as for strength. Indeed, a loss in the popular yote seems in some quarters to have come to be regarded as of but little moment, and cer tain of those ingenious gentlemen, who are fond of new theories in polities, have declared it to be “a very good party to experiment on,” it being understood tft whatever new fangled doctrine can be supported in this benighted region without positive loss will be tolerably sure of a good reception among the dear people beyond the Stat Mimits. Accordingly we find that a thoroughgoing, con ‘vention following, platform gorging, Massachusetts demo erat, though a pretty good ‘igciplinarian, passively, is ap to be queerly striped politically. When the nap nevel and popular yesterday, has become to-day stal and unprofitable, its former harmonious advocates occa sionally make it causo for lively bickerings, and some times for mutual and segulariy ferocious denunciations ‘These little matters are the foundation for a largo part o that abuse which is an eloquent aid to rival cliques in convention electioneering, and with which they are wont to regale the cars of successive national administrations. The Convention to assemble to-day is toaccept resolutions make up a ticket for State officers, and select delegates to. ‘the Charleston Convention. Of the most enthusiastic par- tisans, there is not one so sanguine as to imagine that the democracy will carry the State in the fall election; but as it is the strong party of the country, and controls the na- tional purse strings, there are nota few willing to attain ‘whatever prominence mere nominations can confer, and endure some proscription at home for the sake of in- fluence abroad. The larger portion of the party, how- ever, with many of its leading men, is honest, zealous and respectable; but the party ‘machinery is often handled without much reference to popular wishes. For three successive years the Hon. E. D. Beach, of Springfield, has received ‘the democratic nomination for Governor. It ja universally conceded that the party in Massachussetts contains few purer and more unexception- blo men. At the last State Convention, the friends of General B, F. Butler, of Lowell, presented his claims and obtained for him a third of the votes cast. Several months since Mr. Beach announced, in the public prints, determination to decline a re-nomination, to the great regret of the party. Upon this declaration, the adherents of General Butler pressed his name upon the public notice, and the result has been his triumphant nomination to-day. He is quite popular with a large part of the dele- gates, and having always scemed desirous to assume the championship of the cause of the adopted citizens, is sup- ported by them with especial warmth. He is understood to endorse Senator Douglas’ interpretation of popular sovereignty, aud to favor that gentleman’s Presidential aspirations. specting the delegation at large to Charleston there appears’a much greater lack of unanimity. There are several tickets in the field, the locality of candidates proposed, as well as Presidential proclivities, affording grounds for dif. ference. Tho supporters of the administration sustain an ‘“unpledged”’ ticket, composed of the names of Caleb Cushing, of Newburyport, (independent); John T. Heard, of Boston, (administration); Isaac Davis, of Worcester, (admmistration); and £.D. Beach, of Springfield, (admi Mistration). Some parties substitute Isaac H. Wright’ name for that of Mr. Davis. The friends of Douglas have a ticket bearing the name of Oliver Stevens, of Boston; Isaac Davis, of Worcester, Gen. Whitney, of Springfleld, and W. . N. Swift,ot New Bedford. Various conglomerated patched, amalgamation tickets are in circulation, and appearances indicate considerable scratching of names. Some dissatisfaction was reported to exist in the western counties at the a] ‘tionments of the principal tickets, the claims of all candidates west of Springfield being ignored by meneees; but the offer of the candidacy for the utenant Governorship to Mr. Plunkett, (adm.) of Pitts- Held; seemed to have pacified this section. It was inti- mated this mor that Mr. Plunkett would decline being thus honored, and Mr. Bemis, of Springfleld, was conse. quently the choice of the Convention. Electioneoring, and that of the most energetic kind, upon the various tickets, has been very active, and this morning it fs atits height. In various localities caucuses have been packed, and every sort of expedient, honorable or otherwise, resorted to, to secure the success of op- Posing parties. It is somewhat singular to notice, how- ever, that there was but one instance of a double delega- tion, in the midst of all this excitement. Ward No. 8 of Boston elected two sets of delegates, the point of difference between the rival factions being one not yet brought into oh ipacese it was the question of separate schools for Catholic children. The voice of the State seems to be in favor of Douglas, but the administration has many adherents among the mass of the party and its strong men. A large number of Persons holding office under Mr. Buchanan are open in their advocacy of the Territorial policy of the “Little Gi- ant,” and are by no means backward in the expression of their devotion to his preferment to the Presidency. In many places efforts have boen made to prevent the selec- tion of officeholders on any pretext as dclogatar to the present Convention, and much has been said in some quar- ters of the “ Custom House clique;’’ but to a person at all well infcrmed, it is obvious that the incumbents of the fo- deral offices’ are much divided on the question of Presi- dential candidates, and do not exercise unlimited sway. ‘A large informal meeting of delegates took place. last evening at Washburn Hall, at which the Hon. E. K. Whit- aker, of Needham, presided. Speeches were made by A. Phelps, Jr., of Springfield, and Col. Wright and Perkins Cleveland, of Boston. Mr. Phelps took decided ground in harmony with views expressed in the late reply of Judge Black to Mr. Douglas, and his remarks were well received. The other gentlemen argued mainly against the prosent- expression of preferences with reference to the national standard bearer in 1860. Col. Wright was especially se- vere in denouncing the attempts of any clique or faction to appropriate to their exclusive benefit the doctrine of popular sovereignty. Arrest of an_Alleged Mail Robber=Two Hundred Letters Stolen. ‘From the Detroit Tribune, Sept. 17.] Our readers will probably recollect an account, pub- lished in July, of the robbery of a mail bag at Kalama- zoo in the early morning of the 11th of that month, The bag was thrown off rather carelessly from the Central cars,and was not immediately taken charge, of as it should have been. It was shortly after found rifled of all its con- tents. On Saturday last, as we learn from the Kalamazoo Zé- legraph, young man named James Chamberlain was ar- rested there on suspicion of having committed the rob- Dery. It seems that the day after it took place , person called upon a broker in Grand Rapids and proposed to sell a draft on the Hartford Bank, payable in New York, for $100. It was drawn by —Donslows of New York, and payable to Wm. H. Snow of Kalamazoo. He state: that he was about buying some land down the river near Grandville, and wanted the draft cashed. Tho draft was aoeerene, properly endorsed by Mr. Snow, and without mistrusting anything ig the broker took it, paying him $25 down and giving him a certificate of deposit for the balance, payable on receipt of money for the draft from New York. He was requested toendorse his name upon the draft, and did so, writing tho words ‘James Chamberlain,’’ and de; 5 ‘The draft was immediately sent on and duly paid. Some time elapsed, and the party for whose benefit the draft was intended, becoming impatient at its non-arrival, wrote derescortathibe.cénae of ie delay. This at once developed the facts above stated, and the matter was traced to the Jast endorser, James Chamberlain. The next thing was to find Chamberlain. He was at last tracked out, being found at work in the Day sottle- ment, three miles southeast of Kalamazoo. The next step ‘was to endeavor to get some proofs of his guilt when he should not be on his guard. Several attempts were made to get his signature, but all failed, as he refused to sign his name. He was finally arrested and taken to the United States District Attorney Miller’s office, where he wrote his name, which bore a striking similarity to the signature on the draft. It was ascertained that he was in Kalamazoo on the Saturday and Sunday before the robbery was com- mitted, and on Wednesday he was back home again, and ‘boasted that he had made more money than any of them since he left home, alleging that he had got particular sums in particular ways, which turned out to be wholly false. He also gave a perfectly froe, straightforward ad- count as to his whereabouts on the days in question, all of which proved entirely untrue, The broker at Grand Rapids has been sent for to identify him if possible. There seems ta be little doubt of his guilt, which will bo more clearly made known at his examination, which will take place in a day or two, Tt appears nov; (nat some two hundred letters, contain- bg drafts, inoney and valuables, were in the stolen mail ag. Tue Workinas or THE Free Necro Law In Loumaxa.—The New Orleans correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat writes as follows:— ‘The chief item of public note since my last is the en- forcement of the law passed at the last session of the Legislature, and duly promulgated, giving timely warning that it would become an active statute on the Ist of Sep- tember. By this law free negroes born without the Stat» must leave it within sixty days of the above date, or g> into slavery, being allowed to choose their own masters in the event of taking the latter alternative. It is a law hard on the few, but for the good of the many, who have Jong felt this pariah class to be a nuisance in the oom- munity. It has caused a great panic among them of course, and while some are ‘‘mounting in hot haste” to g9 Beyond tho limits of contravention, others are busied in selecting or soliciting masters, or in devising moans 0 Saany' wilt bo ‘sugsoatiel in dota I certainly do so who have fifty hundred dollara to tempt a couple 0 white racroes to Ca that they are natives, many free negroes have their masters; and though in most instances they find little difficulty in rsuading the chosen ones to add, 1» Negroes to ir personal wealth, there aro where a refusal has been met.

Itis cut froma solid block of marble of the shape of a coffin, and the in- terior is of sufficient size to admit the leaden case contain- ing the remains of the departed statesman. The outaido te sarcophagus is beautifully carved with appropriate emblems. Foreign Musical and Dramatic News. ‘The vocal artists engaged for the musical festival at Bradford, England, August 28, were the following named; Soprani—Madame Clara Novello, Madamo Lemmons Sherrington, Mrs, Sunderland and Mile, ‘etjens. Contralti—Migs Palmer, Miss Freeman and Madame Nantier Didiée. ‘Tenori—Mr, Sims Reeves, Mr. Wilbyo r and Sig- nor Giuglini. : sperms kau Bassi—Signor Bellettl, Mr. Santley and Signor Badiali. Costa conducts and superintends the whole. Haydn’s “Creation” opens the festival. On Wednesday Handel's “Dettingen Te Deum,” and gleanings from his ‘Judas Maccabeus” will be given. On Thuraday there will be Mendelsgohn’s “St, Paul”’—a work too much neglected for his “ijjah.”” And on Friday the ‘Messiah’? winds up, asa matter of course, the morning oratorios. The oe evening concerts are on Wednosday, Thursday and lay. One Amuoriant element in the instrumental arrango- ments is, that the entire orchestra is composed of Costa’s Royal Raley Overs Band, as in 1853. In 1856 the stringed were incre: to 20 first violins, and 20 second fiddles; the violas, the violoncelli, and double basses being 12 each, making a total of 76 stringed instruments. In Ts63 there were 62; now there are 64, thus subdivided: first violins, 16; second ditto, 16; violas, 10; violoncelli, 11; and double basses, 11. The total effective will stand thus:— Stringed, 64; wood, 8; brass, 10; percussion, 3. Total 85. Add to tho above the organist, 1; the pianiste, 1; and the conductor, 1, will give a total of 88 for the instrumen- tal department. Now this exccutive could not be en- in value by mere numbers, because if strangors were introduced, Costa’s discipline could not be so efll- ciently developed. Meyerbeer, on his late visit to London, was astonished atthe “sight? playing of this phalanx, and atthe extraordinary alacrity with which, at a sign from the conductor, changes of key were instantaneously resorted to when @ singer’s voice or intonation became imperilled. ‘Gentlemen,”’ said Meyerbeer, addressing the orchestra, after the members thereof had played over his overture to “Dinorah,”’ ‘‘you have done in one rehearsal what it took me in Paris five rehearsals to accomplish.”” A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Bradford, August 25, gives an account of the opening of the festival, from which we quote :— 3 Every one is commenting, in terms more or less enthu- siastic, on the admirable execution of Handel's ‘Dettingen Te Deum,” and the selections from ‘“ Judas Maccabeus,”” at the firet morning performance in St. George's Hall. Nevertheless, the attendance was not so large as had been anticipated (under 2,000, it is stated), and well-wishers both to the music meeting and to the charity on behalf of which it is now held, are beginning to feel anxious about the issue. In the performance of Handel’s music the members of the Bradford Festival Choral Society sur- passed themselves. The whole of the “Te Deum” (so re- cently described)—and most especially the magnificent hymn of adoration “To Thee Cherubim and 8e- raphim continually do cry’—was given in a style that rendered the critic’s office asinecure, To Signor Bel- letti_ (as at the Handel Festival) were allotted the solo parts; and, to single out an example of his general eff- ciency, his reading of the pathetic air, ‘‘Vouchsafe, O Lord,’ left nothing to desire. The work produced a dec] impression, and was listened to from end to end wit marked and devout attention. Equally successful were the selections from “Judas,” chorus after chorus eliciting admiration as warm as it was richly merited. For clear- ness, precision, and delicate observation of what is termed “light and shade,” the execution of those superb and elaborated choral pieces, ‘(Hear us, O Lord,” “We Never ill Bow Down,”? und “Sing unto God,” were not to be excelled. The freshness of the women’s voices in “See the Conquering Hero Comes” (encored), in which the solo trio was represented by Mesdames Sherrington, Sun- derland and Freeman, enraptured every one. The rest was to match. Not less effective were the “principals — Madame Novello’s “From Mighty Kings,” Madamo Sher. rington’s ‘‘So Shall the Lute,” “Mr. tley’s “Tho Lord Worketh Wonders,” Miss Palmer’s ‘Father of Heaven,”’ and Mrs. Sunderland’s ‘‘Wise Men Flattering,” all being in various degrees entitled to praise; while the two grand war songs—Call forth thy powers” and “Sound an alarm’’—were masterpieces of declamation on the part of Mr. Sims Reeves, whose energy and animation were contagious, the audience being worked up almost to the same measure of enthusiasm as the singers. In both the Dettingen ‘‘Te Deum” and ‘Judas Maccabeus’’ the “‘ad- ditional accompantaments”’ of Mr. Costa were used. More thorough gratification has seldom been elicited than by the whole of this morning’s performance, in which cho- rus, band, soloists and conductor vied with cach other in ze endeavors to produce a gatisfactory result. The first miscellaneous coucert, in the opinion of those who should be well informed, decided the ultimate success of the festival, A more brilliant entertainment of the kind was never given, nor one in which the length (further spun out by interminable berant 2 ‘was loss inconvenient- ly felt. The hall was apparently fuller, and the audience, of course, more “select” than on Tuesday evening. ‘The heat at times was scarcely tolerable; nevertheless, at- mospheric pressure and every other unpleasantness were patiently (heroically) endured by the gaily dressed as- sembly, which represented not simply Bradford, but Yorkshire at its very best, and would have done credit to an Italian Opera on a gala night. The foreign singers— including Mademoiselle Tietjens, Signors Giuglini and Ba- diali, from the Drury Lane company; Madame Nantier Didiee, from Covent Garden, and Signor Beltetti, formerly of both Italian Operas, lately, tothe suprise of connois- seurs, “unattached” —had the lions’ share of the pro- gramme. To Mr. Sims Reeves was allotted a A nothing more—a not very intelligible arrangemont, the position of the singer taken into consideration. This ballad, however—Mr. Hatton’s “Phabe, dearest’—eli- cited an encore, which Mr. Reeves accepted, and was then heard of no more. Madame Novello, too, sang but once, and that in an air from ‘William Tell””—Sombre- foret”—which, beautiful as it is, might be laid aside for an interval to make room for something newer, if not bet- ter. Even Mrs. Sunderland, ‘the Yorkshire pet,” whose imaginary grievances gave rise to such a “hubbub” at the last “ Braarura {OFA femtvar wan bliged to content with Linley’s “O bid” your’ faitnrut be “Avict fly,” the toughness of which must be considerable, or it would scarcely have resisted the encroachments of time 80 long.

W. Cooper, Coates, and Santley the solo voice parts. The first act of the concert was thus brought to a termination with dignity and éclat. Later in the evening Miss Goddard played Thalberg’s grand fanta- sia on the Prayer from “Mose in Egitto,” which, though loudly asked for again, was not repeated, the lady dis- ioreutty resting satisfied with acknowledging the compli- ment. The rest of the vocal programme was purely exotic. Mademoiselle Tietjens created an extraordinary impression. Her voice was extolled—it could not well be otherwise in an assembly with ears attuned to melody; her dramatic energy, which she car- ries with her from the stage into the concert room, met with unanimous sympathy, and everything she did was received with unbounded favor. She gave two grand airs—Non mi Dir “Don Giovanni,” and the cavatina from ‘Il Trovatore”’—the first a splendid per- formance, the last too late in the programme to arrest the same amount of interest. She also sang in a duet from the same opera ‘aon Signor Badialli), and a trio (with Signor Giuglini and Mr. Santley) from “I Lombardi’”—the early work which, in 1848, Signor Verdi extended into a five act opera, called “‘Jerusalem,”’ for the Académie Im- périale gihen ‘Theatre de la Nation)—thus as it were, lay- ing the foundation for his still more successful ‘‘Vpéres Siciliennes.”” Both duct and trio were re-demanded (the latter unanimously), and both were repeated. In the trio M. Sainton’s execution of the part for violin (obligato) , was as much admired ag the singing itsclf. Signor Giug- Jini gave “Dalla sua pace,” and “La donna e mobile,” both well, but the exquisite apostrophe of Don Ottavio to his absent mistress in a style that can only be qualified ‘as beyond reproach. Madame Didiée gave the air from “Maria di Rohan’’—through the medium of which, at the Royal Italian Opera, she endowed the subordinate charac- ter of Di Gondi with a degrce of importanceaiot other- wise attached to it—just as Alboni had donc before, her. Signor —_Belletti__ contributed ‘Sulla poppa del mio brick” (an air for which he appears to have contracted a passionate attachment, so averse is he to abandon it for another); and Signor Badiali “Largo al factotum,’’ which , belonging to the risum movere category, and delivered in a manner proper to the foot lamps, with abundant gesticulation and grimace, mado the audience laugh, and brought down an encore at the end, the vete- ran singer (who has more spirit than many of his juniors by a quarter of a century and better) Cortes) without An instant’s hesitation, ‘There wore also the well known quartet from ‘“Rigolette,” a duet from one of Donizetti's operas, and a quintet from ‘Cosi fan Tutti.”? Verdi's piece fared well, Mozart’s ill, the duet (Madame Didiée and Signor Belletti) tolerably. The omission of all three would not have been regretted. A part song (‘0 hills, O yales of pleasure’) and a madrigal (“Down in a flowery vale’) were set down for the chorus, which well _sustait- ed the reputation of Yorkshire in general, and Bradford in particular. Mendelssohn’s part-song was taken a eo deal too slowly, otherwise more perfect singing could not have been wished. In both caéés the éehddred Were una- uimous. Three overtures (Fra Diavolo,” “ Guillaumo Tell” and “Ruy Blas’) were executed by the band under Mr. Costa so superbly that, although Auber has to play the audience in and Mendelssohn to play them out, the enthusiasm created was almogi tnpatatlele . Mr. Charles Kear, cioged his very brilliant managerial Career atthe Princess’ theatre, London, on the 29th of Atgtust, playing in “Henry VIL.” Mr, Kean delivered a lengthy address. forewing, snd defending his departures from stago traditions in his Shaksperian revivals. Mr. Kean announced that the prevailing impression that he was about to retire from the stage altogether was incor- rect. The London Times of the 80th an elaborate panegyric upon Mr, Kean which the American public might think a little too strong, but every one who re- members Filen Tree will concur in the following tribute to Mrs. Kean:—‘Of the characters undertaken by Mrs. Kean her Queen Katherine, Lady Macbeth, Myrrha, lady Amyot, Elvira, Portia, and’ Beatrice, stand ou conspicuously, Ever a most poetic artist, her acting has ‘undergone a polish and a finish that have made it com- plete. Who willever forget the true womanly manner in which she depicted Queen Katherine; her anguish when, ‘as the Queen in ‘Richard II,” she has her husband torn from her; the terrors inspired by her sleep walking scene in “Macbeth,” ber outburst of indignation in the act of the ‘‘Wife’s Secret;” the grace of her Portia, and the wit and vivacity of her Beatrice? These will long be re- membered by playgoers. Mrs. Kean also claims an ac- knowled nt for the share sho has taken in the revi- ‘vals atthe Princess’. Much of the completeness of the tite en soene is due to hor taste and judgment, while the whole of the costumos, 80 correct in the smatiost details, ‘were prepared under her superintendence, so that both as actress and manageress, the public aro doeply in- debted to this aaa lady.” Mrs. Charles ws had a benefit at the market 27th August, and made a great bit in ‘Peg Wot n.’? The house was the best of the season. © Pars, &.—The Moniteur des Aris ;—A romantic marriage has just taken place. Atthe Theatre du Palais Royal, about a year ago, was a young actress, only seven- teen years of age and remarkably handsome; but in spite of her youth and beauty, her success was not great. A wealthy Moldavian, who had shortly before lost his wife, and who had come to Paris to dissipate his sorrow, 8aw her, and was oxccodingly struck to find that sho exactly resom- bled the dear departed. Ho returned several times to the theatre and became fascinated with her.

Panier, responsible editor of the Charteart, M. d’Ennery, a dramatic author, stands in the list of promotions to the rank of officer in the Legion of Honor, and Louis Bouillet, dramatic author, in that of knight. “A company of builders, architects and capitalists,” says the Journal des Travaux Publics, “has just sent in a proposition to the municipal authorities to rebuild, within the space of one ycar, the seven theatres on the Boule- vard du Temple, which must be taken down in conse- quence of the opening of the Boulevard Eugénie and other improvements, ‘They offer to do this on condition of re- ceiving 1,200,000 francs a year for twenty years, the city of Paris having the power to redeem the theatres any time aftor that period for a sum of six million of francs.’” The managers of the Paris theatres have come to the determination of suppressing the ‘free admission’? or Villets de faveur system. It is Said that upwards of 700,000 of these free tickets are given away every year. Edmond About has produced a very successful vaude- ville, called “Ridette,”” at the Gymnase. The Paris papers say that “the charming danseuse, Zina Richard,” has accepted an excellent engagement in America. Roger, the tenor, gets $2,500 for six concerts at Baden Baden. A Buenos Ayres journal of July 9 notices an opera company of which Mme. Bayetti is the prima donna, The company had musically blessed the Argentine flag, and had sung the “Puyitani” and the “Trovatore” at the Victoria theatre. The London theatres have been dull lately, and owing to the heat of the weather the Adelphi and Olympic have been closed till October. Naval Intelligence.
