NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1861.—TRIPLE SHEET. act of Congress, and irrevocably because an act admitting State can never be repealed. Let the will of the people, therefore, be teat- | | The Last Meeting of the Common ed at once upon this healing measure, and we fre as sure as we are of our own existence that they will declare for it in overwhelming num- bers, and with such an enthusiasm as will stifle the voice of faction both North and South, nd restore amity and comity and harmony where deadly enmity and discord now reign. But let not « moment be lost. Time flies, and the seccesion movement, like a snowball— creseit eundo— gathers volume and strength as it rolls. By devoting to this work of patriot- ism one-half the time and energy politicians expend upon their pernicious and corrupt schemes, a few good and sensible men could render the proposed compromise an accom- plished fact before the Ist of March. The very attempt at the North to achieve it will operate as a charm, and, like David's harp, which Boothed the troubled spirit of Saul, it will calm down the perilous excitement at the South, and prevent an explosion which would render futile all efforts at reconciliation. Orgratic MovemEnts—BRooki.yN AHEAD OF New Yorx.—The directors of the Brooklyn Academy of Music have stolen a march upon the magnates of Irving place, and concluded an engagement with thg associated artists, represented by Signor Muzio, for a season of Ttalian Opera, to continue during three weeks. The artists get the Brooklyn Academy of Music upon much better terms than those demanded by the direciors of the New York Opera House. In the Brooklyn Academy the general public and the stockholders are placed on the same footing—that is, the stockholders have no right to reserved seats, as in Irving place. The rent of the Brooklyn house is one hundred and fifty dollars per night—twenty-five per cent less than the price of the New York Academy. The Brooklyn Academy is quite new, and it is believed to be one of the very best theatres ever built in Europe or America. It is located in ihe centre of a very large and wealthy community, one distinguished for its musical tasie, and determined to ascertain by actual experience whether the people of Brook- lyn will support a first class place of public amusement or not. Ifthis operatic experiment should succeed it will be a great feather in the “aps of the connoisseurs across the Fiver. In- stead of being compelled to come here for Italian Opera, they can enjoy it comfortably at -dheir own doors, and have the satisfaction of welcoming the New York devotees of the di- vine art at the same time. For we take it that the opening of the Brooklyn Academy -will attract a very large number of people from this side of the river, and that -if our Opera is permanently cut off we shall be -compelled, as in the case of the failure of the supply of water the other day, to rely upon -the Brooklyn people for our music as well as -our Croton. Brooklyn is coming very close to us with her aqueduct, her splendid theatre and chain of parks. We are still a little ahead of the City of Churches in such small matters as rowdyism and petty crimes; but to make up -for that, Brooklyn can beat us “all hollow,” as “the Yankees say, in scan. mag. We trust, however, that now this Brooklyn engagement is accomplished, aid the artists -thereby pledged to remain in New York during the next two months, the directors of our Academy will make some arrangement by which we can have a short Opera season at Irving place. The leading stockholders should start @ subscription at once. That they “would be sustained by the public at large there can be little or no doubt. The Broad *-way shopkeepers, dealers in jewelry, fancy goods, gloves, fans, &c., &c., would find it to their interest to subscribe enough to pay the rent of the theatre, and we trust that the movement will be inaugurated without delay. The public wishes for the Opera, and it re- mains for the proprietors of the Academy to -eay whether or no that desire shall be gratified ToxermG THE Crry GoveRNMENT.—We per- Ceive that an attempt has been made to increase the police force, and that the Mayor is op- posed to any such proceeding. There is no use In all this tinkering of the city government, for it cannot effect any substantial good or relieve us from the evils under which we suffer. We must give up tinkering and go boldly into the root and branch business. The whole concern needs aradical change. These are times of recon- -etraction and remodelling. Let the Legisla- ture appoint the commission suggested by the ‘Governor, to draw up anew charter for the city, and submit it to the people in November next. That is the only remedy that will reach the disease which is eating out the very life of the metropolis. The tinkering business is out of date. Hox. Massa Greener Looxtva Towarns Sarr Rrver.—Instead of Cabinet making, our philosophic friend Massa Greeley seems to be studying the geography of the Salt river re- gion. Every day he is becoming more and more emphatic in declaring that there shall be no compromise.” This means pretty plainly that he ia looking towards Salt river as the termination of the present difficulty. We can- not get along in this world without compro- vmise. There must be a compromise, or the whole confederacy must go to Salt river, and Hon. Massa Greeley with it. et The Kansas Troubles.

He believed that every citizen of these United States should do all he could at tho election, but after that let the country take care of itself. He believed that South Carolina and hor niggers should not be allowed to disturb the Union or diminish the honor and glory of the stare and stripes; he was not, however, going to pray in that fashion.
