FOR MAYOR,
JOHN JOHNSONr
THE POPULAR VOICJ. '1
Johnson wai called out by thousands
ol people. It was done in the strongest
manner known to the.' art of bringing
out candidates. It ia not pretended
that any one elae has received a similar
popular recognition. If so, how?. If
not, why aot? Why not, then, to teat
the popular sense, get signatures to a
call on gome one elae, and set how the
numbers stand? That would indicate
the Btrength of conteatanta. Thit divi
sion in our party, or rather want of har
mony, ia to be regreted., We shall
need our combined forces for other
emergencies, and all the unity that is
possible among men contending for a
great stake." The present" contest is" one
of an ephemeral character. Within the
space of two months the .sttnsgle 1 will,
be forgotten, and the passions it has
aroused cool down. Men if the same
principles should Pot become estranged
on the question of an office. The
majority's will should be their law.
It is, therefore, with no pleasure thatwe.
discover evidences of exasperation., in
the contest, but not among the people
generally. Those of tha Democracy
who eupport Johnaon, and those who
prefer another, have exactly the same
interest in the result, and they only
differ as to the. proper instruments to
conduct their public affairs. Popular
opinion, as we have stated, points over
whelmingly to Johnson. If such ia not
the fact, why ia the canvass conducted
so long against him without an opposing
candidate? This ia fatal. The longer
that ia delayed the weaker it will be
come. Must the three or four thousand
citizens who invited Johnson to submit
to a re-election be expected to undo
their work, take him out of the 6eld be
cause some citizens of high' character
and acknowledeed influence, but of un
ascertained numbers objee to -him?
Must the ascertained majority give place
to that which by every known rule of
calculation is a minority? lnis is ass
inir too much even for harmony. But
the neoDle understand all these things.
They know that they have no Interest in
tha result tievond lho election of ail
honest, faithful and competent officer.
That is all the interest any good citizen
should have in it.
THE HEW AMKHDHIWT.:
The constitution makers and breakers
hre not sutisfied with the constitution as
it is, but are proposing an additional
amendment. They propose to ingraft
into it the expression of a belief ja ihe
'existence of God. We coneir with the
Cincinnati Enquirer, that, were such an
amendment to be made to it, it would be
equivalent to admitting that up to this
time we have not as a nation believed in
a superintending Divinity and that
would lie a reflection upon our fathers
who have gone before ua. The frainers
of the Constitution were wise men, and
they lived in an age when there was far
more true religioa and piety than
there is now. For good reasons
they made the Constitution an
entirelv secular instrument, and
left out of it every thing that could
be made to squint in the direction of a
union of Church and State. Wherein is
the necessity of any such amendment?
Will it make us any. more a Christian
nation than we are now? What possible
practical good can be subserved by it?
If we are to put a belief in the funda
mental principles of religion in the
Charter of our Government, why stop at
Jhe barren recognition of God? Why
not go further, and declare also our be
lief in the existence' of a future state
lieyond the grave? That is as generally
admitted as the fact of the existence of
God, and, if we are to have a
confession of faith in the Consti
tution, we should favor its inser
tion. But the whole movemeat is
founded upon false principles princi
plea that would sanction an established
church and as an entering wedge to
that end should be sternly resisted. The
American people give practical evidence
of their recognition of God in their
myriads of charches and in4he munifi
cent manner
r in .which they eapporti
them. Thia ia the war
is the way to show a Deuel
in Deity, by the interior life of the na
tion, and not by the cold formula of a
Constitutional abstraction. The exist
ence of God is attested by a higher law
than the Constitution. It is written in
the starry constellation and all over the
immensity of the naiverae, and it needs
none of man's statutes to render it clear
to the public comprehension.

the amusing and attractive pantomime
The Three Hunchbacks. The audience,
which was large and fashionable, thor
oughly enjoyed the magic transforma
tions, beautiful scenery and comical
tricks with which the play abounded.'
Mr. Chan. Abbott as clown, was most
amusing, and is deserving of the title
which ho has received the great Amer
ican Gr'unaldi.' Mr. Christie appeared
aa Pantaloon, Mr, Ravel as Harlequin,
and Miss Duflield aa Columbine. Theae
artists are the best id their respective
lines, Mr, Cohan presented a number
of changes a la Lingard, amid much ap
plause. The sailor's hornpipe, by Misses
Ravel and Herbert was a pleasing tcrpsi
chorean (eat. Tha entertainment wound
up with roller skating by the Moe Broth
ers, and a charming transformation
scene entitled The. Palace of Delight,"
During the engagement of the Abbott
troupe the theater will be crowded. The
Three Hunchbacks is by far a better
pantomime than Qumptj Dumpty.
Broohsj The Jefferson Street Opera
House waa 'crowded last night. A fine
programme was presented by the new
