POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

As an evidence ot this fact we quote from the Richmond Whig tae weference .o the c ange of time for holding the Chicago @enyention. Theeo are funny fellows, who call (hi venticn’” in whieh fifteen Bates of the nation will be up- represenied. But let that pase, We sec ia thie new move another proof that the biack republicans are losing cont: dence, They bave take slarm st the ceurse of that large body of n: a) citizens who are neither black republi- eane nor democrats, and are endesyoring to head them off by an early pomination, The maniwuyre indicates that they wi! nominate a man whose antecedents would give him some claim tothe support of bational man. Taeir © Will not gucoeed; but the inference which it creates, Sariney find themselves under the necegsity of changing ‘their tactics, is pleasant apovgh. Never in fact in the his- ‘ory of this party have they been so distracted ag al this moment, Their journalists are scolding each other, and all around there is a want of confidence manifested Gagowat PLANKS IN THe PLATFORM OF MADAME BATRR.—= as Kdward Bates, of Missouri, ls now fairly in the field as a candidate for the Presidency, be bavimg been nomi- wated hy the opposition party in his own State, itmay be Proper promulgate some of the principal claime he bas epen. the people of the United States for the distinguished Pestion t© which be aspires.

The Academy company, which is exiled for » mouth to the provinces, commenced » season in Philadelphia on Monday, when “Lucia” was given, with Patti and Stigelli, Brignoli being detained in the metropolis by an aifvetion of the throat. On Friday, the last night of the Philadel phia ceagon, Patti sang in the “Barber of Sevilie,”’ for ber Ove berefi, The theatre was crowded before the opera cop me ced, and the sale of tickets was suspended. The young prima donna seems to have thoroughly captivated the right angled villagers. The company opens to-night in Baltimore, Our Opera house was closed last week, until Saturday, when a benefit performance was given with @ great array of dramatic and musical notabilives. Over four thougand five hundred persons attended the two performances. In the city theatres the only novelty of the week was he production of a burlesque upon “ Ivanhoe,’ written or the London market, and adapted for this locality by Mr. Jefferson. The piece is absurdly funny, and hes been much liked. In fact, thanke to the very capital acting of Mrs. John Wood, Mr. Jeflerson and Mr. A. H. Davenport, the play made a clear and unequivezal suc- cers, attrasting crowded houses every night. After a run of Sftyfour nights, ‘Jeanie Deans’? bas been withdrawn from the stage of Miss Laura Keene's theatre. J@will be replaced this evening with an entirely Bew comedy depicting the manners of the day. The new piece is the work of Mr. Bourcicault, an tne distribution incindee the creameof Laura Keene’s company, as well as Mies Agues Robertson and the author of the play. At Nibio’s Garden, Mr. and Mrs, Barney Willams are playing with their usual success. The engagement was commenced by Mre. Williams alone, but Mr. Williams’ health having very much improved, be was enabled to appear cn Wednesday, very much to the delight of hie extended circle of admirers. This even- ing at Niblo’s there will be an entirely new bill, to in- clude an Irish drama, “Uncle Pat's Cabin,” with « fresh piece written fer Mrs, Williams by Edward Sterling, of London, and called ‘Washington's First Love. ‘The benefit of Mr. Joseph Jefferson, the prime favorite among metropolitan comedians, will ake place to-night a! the Winter Garden.

At Wallack’s theatre “The Romance of a Poor Young Man”? stil) attracts full houses, and it seems likely to run another month, or it may be the balance of the teason. This result jn due m a great measure to the very excellent way in which the pjece is acted and mounted. The en semble is perlect. At the Broadway Boudoir the main attraction for to night is a burleeque upos the Wallack play above men- tioned. she burlesque bas been writen by Mr. Gayler, and the principal character will be performed by Mre. Charles Howard. At Barnum’s Museum great crowds go to eee the “ Getoroon”’, or the “What is it?” or both. The“Octoroon”’ will be continued during the present week, and the public curiosity as to ‘+ What is it?” can be gratified at any hour @f the day or evening. Quite enough for a quarter, we should say. At the New Bowery theatre a new national drama, founded upon Kenvedy’s novel,and calied “ Horse-Shoe Robingon,” will be acted for the first time to-night. Mr. G ©. Boniface plays as“ Horse-Shoe,”” supported by the most popular members of the company. At the Bowery theatre “ The Dead Heart,’ a very effective French melo-drama, will be produced this even. ing. Mr. Allen and Mrs. Annie Senter are in the cast. ‘Three other pieces will be added to the main altraction of the night. e George Christy’e and Bryant's African opera companies offer extraordinary attractions for this evcning. _Mrs. Fanny Kemble has ied sen Saves leave of public life.
