Rossini s, who owes, however, an inexpressible«lebt to the national songs of Italy.So much was necessary to say in order to ex¬

plain, indirectly, the character of Jenny Land's

singing. She siBgs the simple sentiment of themusic, quite irrespective of the associations in thetbemeof the opera, and entirely scornful of anyconventional standard of a proper style. In CaslaDiva we have represented the priestess and theWoman. It is not the voluptuous and VenetianLucrtzia P,r.'(rta with n sickle in her hand,or love¬lorn Lucia in the woods. The moon breathespeace into her servant's soul, apd in the prayerthere is a solemnity and tender tranquility whichwe do not recall in any other artist..So true was Jenny Lind'a treatment of this,

that we seemed for the first time to feel the full

meaning of the song. We do not hesitate to say,that she illustrated it beyond the idea of the au

hor.as a lino painter takes a hint from a peninc, and leaves a perfect picture upon the page-It was what the Cay/a Diva should be. It wasfiner and more artistic than Adelaide Kembto'sendcring.which, although we cherish it amongthe pleasantest musical memories, was not so

primitive and moon-inflaenccd as this. There was

only the traco of one great human emotion in Jen.

ny Lind's, which appeared in the joyful intensityof invitation in the Allegn». Then the Priestesswas a woman again entirely.yet not a RomanDonna, nor n Neapolitan fisher girl, nor a Vene¬tian lady "f luxurious love.but fall of the forest,tbe sky and the stars.still and always a Drnides«.This same individuality and artistic perception ofcharacter was remarkable in the " Care Compag."ue,' from the Somnambula.in the " Qui la row.,''from the Puritanir.in the " Edgardo," from Lucia

in all the "Fille du Regiment" and " Elisirif'Arnore " music, and generally in all that «besangfrom these Masters.Like a true artist, in singing these songs Jenny

Lind regarded the essential character of the mu¬

sic and the proprieties of the Concert room. Yet,whoever carefully followed her singing, could not

fail to feel the tranquil truth of her interpreta¬tions.The same is true of her sacred singing. Bat it

was impossible not to feel in all she did, her su¬

periority and separation from what she was do¬

ing, without which there can be no dramatic ar

tistic success. Jenny Lind was us distinctly her'

selfin the Messiah as in the Fille du, Regiment'The identification of the artist's self with the char¬acter he represents, is a crude conception of'anyart. The success of Painting is not the exnet im¬

itation of nature, in which Teniers surpassed Rapkael.nor is deception the final success of acting.When we go to the play wc do not expect to see

tbe individual Norma or Hamlet, for an involun¬

tary consciousness goes with us that it is impossi¬ble. The moment, that wo see life, or an exact

imitation of life, that instant the artistic eivjoy-xocnt which wc are seeking, disappears, and we*t« suVjjcet to the real emotions wWeVi are incom.patAble w\v\i u,al enjoytnen*. if we could be

tieutly, and certainly Would no more seek it as

¦ recreation, than we should visit Bedlam andBridewell fur the same purpose. Hence, Goethesays, in criticising the Laocoon, that the promi¬nent impression of tiny work of art must bo pleas"ant. This is one of the essential requirements ofart, and is again most forcibly illustrated byRachel, throughout whose performance the spec,tator has the utmost and purest artistic enjoy¬ment because there is no nttempt to cajole himinto a belief that he beholds reality. This crudeconception is practically criticised in MadameTussaud's exhibition in London, where there isn collection of colored wax etiigies of famouspeople with real hair and characteristic clothes.You ore deceived, certainly, and perhaps, likethe present critic, deceived to that degree ilia1you address observations to a neighbor upon tie;bench, who turns out to be a painted Mr. Cobbett.Bnt although the triumph of exact imitation is

perfect, you do not have that pure and legitimatepleasure in art which the colorless Autinous.Apollo and Venus afford you.The confirmation of this idea, at which we onlv

hint, is another jewel in Jenny hind's crown ofpraise. But we must respect the limits of paper"and patience, and hurry along to the end.

Ifany "friend orlover" lends us bis earthis morn¬ing he is now probably making one or all of threemistakes He declares that this critic does notlike or appreciate Italian music j or, ihm he does

not admit any essential difference between Northern or Southern natures or, that he is entirelytoo indiscriminate in supposing that because an

artist docs one thiug well he docs everything.well.

But we do love Italian music with the inevita¬ble and appreciating love of one who has sunnedhis soul a yearlong in Italy.and it is because we

feel through it tho truth of its origin, thatwe do notwish to injure our delight by a claim too broad-The sadness and Bunniness and sensuousness of

Italy Bing in its song. Its tiery hate, its deadlydespair we do not hear there. If you will, theburning soul of the artist makes his hand unsteady,so that he cannot draw the outline deeply andfirm. Wo think, rather, that the artistic poweris the gift, only of Italians of sentiment. Italianlife is deeper and wilder than its art. Cool-head¬ed and arm-bandedShahspere must tell its stories

j of Romeo and Portia. German Mozart must me¬

lodiously murmur its love-meanings. Although,if L'uerezio. Borgia or Marino Faliero had them,selves been artis's, they would have disprovedwhat we feel. Michel Angelo did disprove it, ifwe were not speaking of contemporary powerand success. For »e find also in tho Italianku) r all the meretriciousness and melo-drama ofmodern Italiau life and character, and find,further,that Jenny Lind much mere precisely appreciatesits character ami worth than the great mass ofnative artists or critics.And we do recognise tho .essential differences

of the North and the (South.we do confess with»nc who, a Northerner, has yet all Southern sus-

swptibilities and soul."That bright ard tierce ana ncklp is v'je South,And dark and true sad teudei Is the North."

But we must feel also the universality, the cos¬

mopolitanism ofgreat genius and cannot at once al¬low because a singer is born beyond the Alps that

therefore and therefore only she is the hotter In¬

terpreter of Southern sentiment than n sitterscul teeming with genius and skill whose bir'.ii isUorthern. We do confess, however, and thereinallow all that can be fairly claimed, that an equa1genius. Southern born, would surpass the North¬ern in the interpretation of Southern sentiment,

MiCibr&n. peiBCIlt of the ltacter than JMaiibran, Ii»

facti3nfaceadaptation Ol all powers to one end.which we

call genius. Therefore we do not claim that oar

artist is the idea! Italian ginger ; but we simplyinsist that with her quality of nature and genius,with her profound perception and power, and,more than all. with the throbbing experience thatwe have just had, meager and miserable as it ne¬

cessarily was in the concert-room, she must, by allthe laws of Nature, be a finer interpreter of thatsentiment than those we are accustomed to hear.And it the audience was disappointed, it was a

mistake of ignorance upon their part, and not a

real perception of artistic inability. If we care"

fully consider what the lirst impression of an nu-

dience educated as ours has been is worth, we

cannot regard as damnatory, in any particular, its

original judgment of Jenny Lind.Nor do we say, answering the third error, that

she is not greater in Northern than in Southernsong, only we cannot draw lines in pure Art as we

do in tangible Nature. Von cannot wall off theNorth from the South as you do yonr neighbor'sgarden from your own. The profoundestmeaningofull art is universal and not particular, and there¬fore the artist who most truly presents to you one

phase will a priori be able to present the otherwith equal power. The world dors not know yetif Shakapere was the greater Tragic or ComicPoet, nor is the world apt to allow great geniusthat is not both at once. The Poet must be

Tropical as well as Temperate, but ngain no lessPolar than Tropical. And often while the gener:tI character of great power is sunny or sad.the implied possibilities of the opposite mood are

perpetually present and are powerful in the pre¬cise degree that the actual development is power,ful. Tims if a man is brilliantly witty for u wholenight, we fancy the morrow's morl id despond¬ency. V. e call it flippantly, reaction. But it is a

law of life.So in this regard nil that we sav is. that when

then it tuny be truly inferred that he would do

everything well which was properly a subject forhis m i. Jenny Lind's Somnambula we know.andwe have no doubt that her Normet and her Lucre-ziu would he very grand and mach beyond any¬thing that the stage now offers.not because sheiR especially adapted for the parts of Lucrczia or

Normo by sympathy of nature but because her ge¬nius and artistic perception art greater than thoseof any other similar artist whom we know. It issimply saying that Raphael could do a mightierwork than Bernini. We do not say that he couldrivul Michael Angelo. Bat now there is no Micheland wiiy declare that Bernini is necessarily grand-ertban Raphael, because he affects and imitates,\1 ichel's manner ?The lovers and npprocialors of Jenny Lind's

fair Northern fascination need not thereforebe impatient of our Southern claim for her..It is conditional and comparative, not abso¬lute. And while the memory of her song

jet tones our life, as in tho concert room it

seemed to suffuse the mighty mass of orchestralsound with beautiful bloom, nmy we be permittedto quote what we said upon first hearing her in

Opera in Berlin: "Artists like .Mn'ibran were

natures strung upon nnother key, and in Tragedywere more at home, not more successful or of a

clearer tragic conception. For it. is the depth,not the general direction or atmosphere of a na¬

ture which determines its power in any pointto which the circumstances of life direct it. A sen

timental person will usually sing mournful songs,but when once a sunny soul which habituallyoverflows in joy, is stung, there will he no singingso sad. The calm, broad browed, fair haired Northis still tender, hut unswerving, all-daring and all-enduring in love, nnd the darkj splendid Southis no more so. Therefore the Angels are paintedserene and golden haired but in every true an¬

gel heart must be latent an equal devil or thebalance of the world is not ['reserved."We hope, trusting the tolerance of the present

musical feeling, to say something soon of our

Opera prospects and the secret of a successfulOpera in New York. c, w. c.

Delaware County.Franklin, Delaware Co. N. Y. Monday Nov. 25.

To the Editort oj the Kcw- York Tribune:That portion of Delaware County which lies

along the New-York and Erie Railroad, from itswild, rugged and mountainous appearance, willnot give the traveler a very favorable impressionof it, but that is the poorest and least improvedportion of the County. The interior, as well as

the northern and western parts are densely set.tied, nnd, although quite hilly and broken, the landis good.much better than is generally supposedThe inhabitants are mostly of New-England ori¬gin, and, as a matter of course, hardy, industriousand intelligent. Even in the " Anti-Rent" townsthe land and the improvements are much betterthan 1 expected. Along the numerous streamswhich empty into the two branches of tbe Dela¬ware River are tine valleys of excellent laud andthousands of large and highly cultivated farms.The Dairy business is the principal business inthis county, although good crops of rye, corn, outs,patatoes, &c. are raised.This is n flourishing village, containing four or

live churches, two hotels, live or six stores, theusual proportion of mechanic shops, Ac. and is situ¬ated in the western part of the County, IT milesfrom Delhi, 13 from Walton. 10 from Oneonta, andabout the same distance from Unadilla.The "Delaware Institute." in this village, is a

large stone edifice, four or live stories high, andhas usually over 300 pupils. It is one of the larg¬est and best institutions of the kind in the State.Persons wishing to visit the interior of this

County, leave the New-York and Erie Rnilrord atCbehocton and pass some 12 miles through a denseforest over nn excellent plank-road to Walton, 20miles from the Railroad at Cbehocton, and thence17 miles over a good road to Delhi. It is the in-tion to plank this road, from Walton to Delhi, nextSummer, nnd to construct a good turnpike roadfrom Walton to this place. 'There is already adaily stage running from this place (Franklin" toCbehocton, vin Walton, and passengers leave hereut 4 o'clock in the morning and reach your Cityabout 9 o'clock the same evening.At Deposit a plank-road is nearly completed to

South Bainbridge, Chenango, a distance of 16miles, which will attract the business and travelfrom nearly all id"Chenango nnd Otseeo Counties,and must add very much to the business of thatalready flourishing village. Another plank-road isnearly completed from Deposit to Cannonsville,distant 6 miles, whence it is to be made to Una¬dilla.The inhabitants are becoming awakened to the

importance of improving their ronde. even wherethey do not plank them, and making them roundinstead of over all the hills in their route.There are a goodly number of staunch Whigs

the Holy See had been regulated, was super¬seded, and everything reverted to the ancient

regime. Not only that, but clerical influencebecame predominant in every branch ol tin Gov¬ernment. Fe.r the next :iu year the Jesuitswere all-powerful in Piedmont, and the countrywas nearly as much an ecclesiastical dominion,and exhibited all the evils of clerical misgovern-ment as forcibly as the States o' *'

self. mds olssed aJesuits; a rigidcensorsnip

of public opinion; and the threats ol Austria

negatived every movement of political ameliora¬tion. This state of things lasted for the third ol a

century and what was the end of if. ? Ah inter¬necine struggle with the giant power ol Austria;and n hostility to the Jesuits, of which the ablestliving member of the Catholic clergy was theorgan and the leader. If it were not a specialand palpable judgment of Providence, it wouldseem strange that those Jesuits can nowheivmake themselves beloved. They had the wholeof the dominions and the influence of the Houseof Savoy at their back for more than thirty yearsand no where are they more hated, liven in theIsland of Sardinia, among the most ignorant, andbigoted population in Europe, worse than theMaltese or the Majoreans, no attachment is felt to

them. The expulsion of the Archbishop of Cag-liari, an avowed Jesuit, was hailed with the loud¬est rejoicings by the islanders. Secluded andpriest-ridden Sardinia is as resolute as Piedmontor Savoy, that clerical jurisdiction shall be limitedto spiritual matters.Of course in such a state id' feeling ns this, di¬

rect opposition to the Siccardi laws was princi¬pally-confined to the clerical members of the twochandlers. Even among these some were foundto support the ministerial project, and few speech¬es in its favor were abler or more effective thanthat of M. Turcotti. We quote the closing para¬graph of his speech.

This, our readers will admit, is a very frankand spirited expression of ot inion by a clericaldeputy. There are few debates where the cry ofthe-''Church in danger" is raised, that the.samearguments would not be applicable. Nor is M.Turcotti by any means a solitary example of de-

adopted, and we have ordained and orderedns follows:

Article. 1. Civil cruises between ecclesias¬tics and the laity, orhetween ecclesiastics alone,shall be referred to civil jurisdiction, whether thenet ions are of a personttl nat ure or of a real or

mixed character of whatever kind./ Art. 2. All causes concerning the right ofnaming, either actively or passively, to ecclesias¬tical benefices, or to the property of them, or to

any other ecclesiastical establishment whatever,shall be regarded ns other professions, and shallbe placed tinder the civil jurisdiction.Art. 3. Ecclesiastics are subject as the other

citizens to all the penal laws of the State. Un¬der these laws it is contemplated that causes

shall be adjudicated in conformity with the formsestablished by the law of procedure in the laytribunals, without distinction us regards crimes,offenses, and contraventions.Art. I. The punishments enacted in the laws

of the Stale shall not be applied unless throughthe civil tribunals, saving always to the ecclesias¬tical authorities the exercise of its attributes to

the application of spiritual penalties in conformityW ith the terms of the ecclesiastical laws.Art. 5. It the causes contemplated in the pre¬

places which were considered places of immunity,such persons who are under orders for captureunder the proper process may be immediately lid-lowed nnd arrested, as in other places, in confor¬

the Report and Resolutions finally adopted:Nashville, Tuesday, Nov. ill.

Mr. Gordon, of Ya. gave his opinion that it

would be best to recommit the report of the Com¬mittee before the Convention, when he hoped theyw ould be able to present a series that would meetthe approbation of the entire Convention. Thiswas agreed to, and the Committee withdrew.The Convention then took a recess of half an

hüur-.... *

At the expiration ol that time, the CliairmatiTitthe Committee said ho had been instructed by theCommittee, unanimously, to report the preamblens before reported, with the exception of a singleverbal correction, striking out all the resolutionsand substituting the following:We, the Delegates from n portion of the States

of this confederacy, make this exposition of thecauses which have brought us together, and ofthe rights which the State we represent are enti¬tled to under the compact of the L'niou.We have among us two races, marked by such

distinctions of color and physical and moral quali¬ties as forever forbid their living together on termsof social nnd political e quality.The blnck race have been slaves from tho ear¬

liest settlement of our country, and our relationsof master and slave have grown up from thattime. A change in those relations must end inconvulsion and the entire ruin of one or bothrnces.When the Constitution was adopted, this rela¬

tion of mneter and slave, as it exists, was ex¬

pressly recognized nnd guarded in that instru¬ment. It was a great nnd vital interest, involvingour very existence as a separate people then as

well ns now.The States of this Confederacy acceded to that

compact, each one for itself, and ratified it as

States.If the non slaveholding States, who are parties

to that compact, disregard its provisions nnd en-

danger our pence and existence by united and de¬liberate action, we have a right as States, therebeing no common arbiter, to secede.Tbe'object of those who are urging on the Fed-

ernl Government in its aggressive policy upon our

institutions, is, beyond all doubt, to overthrowthem, and to abolish the existing relation betweenmaster and slnve. We feel authorized to assertthis from their own declarations, and from thehistory of events in this country for the last fewyears.To abolish slavery or the slnve trade in the Dis¬

trict of Columbia.to regulate the sale and trans¬fer of slaves between the States, to exclude slave¬holders with their property from the territories, toadmit California under the circumstances, we holdto be all parts of the same system of measures,and subordinate to the end they have in view,which is openly avowed to bo the overthrow ofthe institution.We make no aggressive move. We stand up¬

on the defensive. We invoke the spirit of thoConstitution and claim its guarantees. Our rights,our independence, the peace aiid existence of ourfamilies depend upon the issue.The federal Government has within n few years

at quired by treaty and by triumphant war, vastterritories. This 'has been done by the councilsand the arms of all, nnd the benelits and rightsbelong alike anil equally to all the States. Thefederal Government is but the common agent ofthe States united and represents their conjoinedsovereignty over subject matter granted and do-lined in the compact. .

The authority it exercises over all acquired ter-

ritory must, in good faith, he exercised for theei uai benefit of all the parties. To prohibit our

citizens from settling there with the most valu-able part of our property, is not only degra.lingtons as equals, but violates our highest constitution¬al rights. ,

Restriction and prohibitions against Slavehold¬ing States, it would appear, are to be the fixedand settled policy of the Government, and thoseStates that aie hereafter to bo admitted into theFederal Union from their extensive territorieswill but confirm and increase the power of the ma¬

read our destiny in the future if we fail to do our

who ought to have been our brethren, in their con-

staut agitation of a subject vital to us and the peaceof our families. We liave been outraged by theirgn ss misrepresentations of our moral and socialhabits, and by the manner in which they have de-nounced us belore the world. We have had our

property enticed off and the means of recoverydenied by ur to States in the Confederacy. Wehave been denied our rights in the Territories ofthe Union, which we were entitled to as politicalequals under the Constitution. Our peace hasbeen endangered by incendiary appeals. TheUnion, instead of being considered a fraternalbond, has been used as the means of striking at

our vital interests.The admission of California, under the cireum-

itauces of the case, confirms an authorized and

revolutionary seizure of the public domain, andthe exclusion of near half the States of the Con¬

federacy fri m equal rights therein, destroys theliiie of 30* which was originally acquiesced in

as a matter of compromise and peace, and ap¬

propriates to the Northern States 120,000 squaremilts below that line, and is so gross and palpa¬ble a violation of the principles of justice and

equality as to shake our entire confidence in any

security to be given by that majority who are

now clothed with power to govern the future

destiny of this confederacy .

Mr. Gordon said be liad been instructed to mort>the previous question on the adoption of the report.Mr. A V. Brown stated in reference to the re^

port just made, that the delegation stood in the!same position as in regard to the first. Tin; par.liamer.tary law did not require the cliairmanbjdesignate the minority, and lie would therefore,state, in behalf of Mr. N it holaon and himself, mem¬bers of the committee from the Tennessee delegs>>tion. that they still dissented, and still stood upontbe Tennessee platform.

Mr. Nicholson, of Tenn. was aware of the par¬liamentary law, that the call for tho previoosquest ion cut otl till debate. It Wal his purposftQhave taken part in the discussions of the Convea.tion, and to have defended the position of Tea-nessee but he would not throw obstacles in theway of an early adjournment, which ho knew tobe desirable by the members of the Convention.He should, however, reserve the right to makeknown to his constituents his position.

Mr. A. V. Brown also intended to participate inthe discussion, ami like his colleague (Mr. N'.)would reserve the right to make known his viewsto this constituents.Mr. Donelson trusted he would have an oppor¬

tunity to express his views. We had heard whitSouth Carolina had to say.what Alahaaa Had tosa_\He was interrupted by Mr. Bamwell, of S. ft,

ii a point of order, and Mr. B., somewhat exci.ted, demanded the previous question.The previous question was called by the Chair,

which was on the adoption of the report as amend,ed and Mr. Donelson called for its reading, whichw as ordered.

Mr. Clniborno proposed that on taking the veto,lor a particular reason, that the preamble and re¬solution bo voted on separately. Ho wished itto be understood now. hereafter, and foreverwhere he stood on the question. Mo objectionwas made to the motion ol Mr. C. and he with¬drew it.The vote was then taken by States, with the

follow iug results,Veaf.AlHlmnin, Florida,Georgia, Mississippi, South Ca¬

rolin«, und Virginia.Nay.Tennessee,The President thereupon decided the report;

adopted,And Mr. Donelson moved a reconsideration of

the vote. He hnd voted in the Hllirmative on thequestion of adopting the report for the purpose ofsecurimr the privilege of making this motion. Hedesired to record his protest against tho anlial-lowed purposes of the Convention.Great confusion here ensued, and tho question

was raised as to whether, according to the rule ofthe Convention, an individual member of a dele¬gation voting in Ibe affirmative while the majorityof that delegation voted in the negative, thus re¬cording the vote in the negative, had the powerto move a reconsideration and after some dis¬cussion, in which Mr. Donelson stated that he un¬derstood the purpose of tho rule to be to secureto the minority the rie,ht of protesting;The President decided against the validity of

the motion of Mr. D.Mr. Donelson had hoped that the courtesy of tba

Convention would have been extended to him,but he would not insist upon this point; ho shouldtake nn opportunity of declaring his views to hisconstituents, and would separate himself from a

proceeding which he deemed unworthy of thisConvention.The motion to adjourn tine die, made by Mr.

Clay of Ala. then prevailed, and the Conventionadjourned.

Tbe Author of Alton Locke.To the Editor of the Tribune;The author of "Alton Locko" will be glad that

you. have noticed his work in a manner whichwill be likely to increase its publicity. It is true

that he ho.» no American copyright, (when willthis international question be settled I) but hisobject is not profit, it is to bring the sorrows of thomany, who suffer before the /<?«.. who are ignorantof their uriels, and the still fewer who will assistIn alleviating them. Can the small number bewondered at I It is so ban! for bright and glad¬some eyes to be bedimmed by tears lor other'swoes! So few of the rich will Bay with Eliza¬beth in the Saint's Tragedy by the same author.

This then was doubtless the motive which ledto the publication of the remarkable work yoathink so highly of, as well as one of the ideas ofthe above quoted beautiful poem. It is true that,as yua say, "he does not fin this work) announcethe Evangel of Peace," but fie lias done it else¬

where by his writings and by his actt he is one

of tbe most earnest of tho promoters of the Work«ingmen'a associations in London, which I spokaof in your number of the 15th inst. He wrotetheenergetic tract called " Cheap Clothes ami Nasty"which is well calculated to deter the rich from

purchasing the produce of sweating and slop sell¬ing clothing establishments: and Ml' has taken in¬finite trouble to ascertain what is the best cheapbread for the poor.a subject of much importancein England. To do this effectually he has livedfor weeks entirely on the different kinds of breadas made by himself. He is one of those whoteach that Christianity cannot be perfect in thisselfish and competitive state of society, that itcannot be perfect until Christian Socialism be

practiced. To advocate this doctrine be attendeda great meeting of Delegates from industrialbodies lately held in Manchester, and the excel¬lent speeches he there made were well received.His feelings and sentiments can only be appre¬ciated by his own words " God knows aiy heart,I i.ave but one object.that is the People."

It is true, as you sav, that the pubic- was not

prepared by the previous reputation of the author

tor such a work, but that is because his worth,like that of all such men, could not be known to

the public. Those who know Mr. KitigsIey-biSmoral, intellectual and physical energy-tnewidth, depth and warmth of his feelings are pre¬pared for anything good and powerful from tuS
