We put it to all cliques, factions and organizations who have broken off from Tammany, whether they had not better combine for a new deal all round, and by a liberal and sensible course and good nominations take with them the great masses ot the people, who are sick alike of radical oppression and Tammany treachery. In espe- cial we ask the real, honest war democracy, who did good service in subduing the rebellion, and have since shown great local strength at the polls, whether it would not be well to move in a solid body for new and honest can- didates, and so get rid of the whole gang of Corporation plotters and plunderers and de- eayed politicians, with mustaches and without, black, brown and white, once and forever. maguitles every case of choisra morbus, into « ate desire unquestionably Olympic Theatre. ‘The fountain of this theatre must look coo! even from the highest gallery, and it ts roally refreshing to the lucky individuals who secure seats near it But without the fountain, the Olympic would be thronged on tho bot. tast eammer night whenever John Brougham showld choose, as on this occasion, to appear in bis own drama- tization of Dombey and Son, as the immortal Captain Edward Quttle, [t ia quite unnecessary to repeat tho favorable verdict which has s0 often and so waanimously been:passed upon Brovgham’s admirable ombodiment of one of the finest of Dicke ‘orite charactors.
