For the Patriot


A correspondents Of the Democratic Herald, wri
ting the signature of Maury suggests the pro.
prety, in consideration Of the advanced age Of OK.
Gev. Aaron v. Brown, and the important services
he has rendered the Democratic party, OF paying
him of with draft on the people for their supS
port in the present canvass, for the Vice Presi-
dency.
We know that bis ExcelIency has rendered the
Democratic party essential services, but whether
there is balance in his favor is doubtful; for it
must be remembered that he has frequently drawn
pretty freely upon it. Bot, If there should be any
thing still due him, II looks little illiberal to try to
liquitate the debt without any valuable considers
ton; for there is not the shadow Of probability
that the draft would be honored. However, this is
a matter with which we, belonging to another par.
ty have little to do. We only wish to suggest that
las the inference to be drawn from the proposed
settlement is, that his further services in the Dem>
ocratic party may be dispensed with-he be given
employment In the American cause. Notwithstabd-
ing his advanced age, we know that he still reI
tains, physically and mentally, all the yigOr of
youth, and is fully able 70 render his country good
service for years to come, provided his Efforts
prope,ly directed. 1t is true early Impressions
hard to eradicate, yet we are not without hope
that wholesome lesson ia Amercanism would
effect a great change for the better in his Excel
lency

Rridge Meeting.

Pursuant to previous adjournment, large
and respectable portion of the citizens of the
city of Nashville met at Johnsons corner, on
Broad street, on Saturday night, the 10th of
May, 1856.
Capt. A. L. Davis acting as chairman, the
meeting was ably addressed by Hon. Thomqs
Nancy, DR.. O. K Winston, Hon. West II.
Humphreys, q. W. Nance, Esq, aud Capt. A.
L. Davis, in opposition to the obstruction of
ma Tigation on the Cumberland river, and
showing conclusively that the erection of the
draw bridge as contemplated by the Louisville
and Nashville and Henderson and Edge6eld
Railroads, at the point at which it is to be
located, as now understood, would amount to
a serious, and in fact, ruinous obstruction TO
such navigation.
The following resolution was then offered
and unanimously adopted:
ResoIced, That our representatives in the
City Council be requested to secure the ap-
pointment of a committee whose duty it shall
be to inquire of the Railroad Presidents
whether they have located bridge across
Cumberland river, and if so, what are the
specifications in regard TO it.
The following resolution was then adopted
by acclamation
ResoZ0ed That we will make opposition to
the location of Il draw bridge, such as is con-
templated, and as would necessarily 0bstruct
the free aud safe navigation Of the Cumberland
river, test question in the approaching cleo
ton for Mayor and Aldermen, and we respect
fully urge upon the voters of each ward to
take early action in the premises, and bring
out safe aud suitable candidates for Aldermen
in the respective wards who will stand firm in
opposition to such an encroachment on the
rights and interests of our city aud country.
Upon motion it was
HeSOLCed, That the proceedings Of this meet
ing be published in the city papers.
The meeting then adjourned, to meet at the
Market House at half past o'clock, P. NJ, on
the l4,h inst.

For NICARAGUA The Minna Schiller, with her
gallant band, started down the river last evening,
en- route tor the theatre Of civilization and pro-
gress. In number about 200, their departure was
witnessed by hundreds of their friends and we'll
wishers, and cheered with a heartness that could
not but warm 10 their hearts the hopeful resolution
with which they have separated from all else dear
to them in life. We wish them good speed, with
the full assurance that they will do their duty to
themselves and their country, and firm trust that
the now ungrateful republic will not much longer
refuse them its just countenanco and support.-N

Mrs. Macready's Grammatical and musical en-
tertanmeat for the benefit of the Robertson
Association, took place at the Adelphi Thea
ire on Monday night, where she was met by
one of the largest and most fashionable audi
tories of the season. In the programme there
was more diversity than usual, particularly in
the musical department, which was varied 10y
a solo on the harp and two songs, one with a
piano and the other with harp, accompani-
ment. This part of the entertainment was
contributed by an amateur who is e resident
of this city-a young lady who performed her
part admirably.
A novelty attending this entertainment, was
the recitation of the Raven with piano &C.
compartment by Mr.. Webber. This immedl-
ately brought TO our recollection the noted
story of @. Gracious, who, it is said, was ac-
cIstOIned, when declaiming in public, to have
a musician at his back to give him the proper
tones from a pipe or flute. 1t is well known
that the AJJe de- Bos in his Reflections on
Poetry and Painting, has clearly proved that
both the tragedies and the comedies of the
ancients were set to kind of music, thereby
explaining the modus Jecit and the tiJi& der
iris ct Sinistsis prefxed to the plays of Ter
ence. But whether it is possible to contribute
any thing to the recitation of the Raven or TO
any other selection from English poetry, is
with US matter Of doubt. We are not,
however, disposed to condemn this species
OF accompaniment once so popular with the
