The object of the meeting was ably and

and telling speeches, in which he depicted in

TiE THr- Sprr'- The following extract
is from 4 letter which we find in the \. O.
Data, of Rev. DR.. BAIRD, now in Nashville
to A gentleman in New Orleans. The letter
is in answer to an inquiry OF whether there
is religious persecution in Russia. The Dr..
has travelled many years in Europe. and is
'uIiy and as we'll posted up in European az
'airs as n man 9th present day. He says
he is not a Know Nothing, Wing or Demo-
Graf, but an .7ms ican, and loves his country
aud It's institutioDs.1
Though be may not be in politics a Know
Nothing, he has certainly evinced the true
Know Nothing sentiment, and that too in a
manner that clearly shows his fear of foreign
influence and foreign interference in this coun-
try. is from a knowledge that has been ac-
CURED by e long residence in Monarchichal
countries. and with a perfect knowledge of
their influences and their opinions:
am far from being opposed to foreigners.
Let them come and tase up their abode in
this great country. if they are disposed to d.
it: but let them come determined to conform
to its laws. and learn the spirit of its %institu-
tons, to respect lis native born population :
and not TO attempt arrogantly to control the
affairs of the nation. nor expect this prople to
adopt their prejudices and assume their giiets
nor to see things, whether al home or abroad,
through their eyes. 1t would be weltifthev
could learn before they quit the Old World,
that we are not a nation of barbarians. ]
verify believe that it is impossible TO find
one man IN twenty, who come to us even
from the obscurest county in Ireland. or the
most Insignificant dnchy in Germany that
does not expect to find us not more than half

whom It is a great favor on their part to con-
descend to come and en!ighten, and among
whom he has a right to claim superiority.
Have we not actually a society in New York
OF Germans, Italian and French, organized
expressly to teach lis what changes should
be made, both IN our polity and policy. as a
most part. from nations that have yet to learn
the first elements of constitutional govern
ment! And did not the great Maevar; feel
it toll his mission to lis. a few wears aso to
make lis know that neither our fathers nor
Their sons have unde rstood. our Constitution
or our duties? Their pretentions are often
as disgusting as their assumptions. A great
number OF them claim TO have suffered for
the cause OF right, and even of liberty. in
their native countries; they have been mar
ty's TOR patriot sm. This is undoubtedl, true
OF some noble men among them, whom cruel
tyranny has driven ~ our shores. But there
is a tar larger and more noisy class, who if
they have ever known any patriotism at all,
1t has been OF that extraordinary sort which
causes some men to quit their country, for
their country's good

UWe received the DonaI1sonville VigH-
ant. of May 9th with Z request to exchange,
written upon the margin. Satisfied that we
had exchanged regularly with that paper, we
thought seriously of SHOWING up the post
master, or some one else, when in further
looking over our files: we discovered another
paper headed as we supposed. or so read it,
pigaa"t. Upon comparing them together
we ob>er.e a slight Indifference in the head
Of one paper.-it reading ViyiInot, and the
other reading Vigilan,. This probably ac-
counts for the Viyilam not receiving our pa
pert having been received by the Vigil.
nat. TO avoid difficulty, hereafter. gentle
men, We suggest an extension OF your names
to ''gilantnm and Vigi!antant. We exchange
with, you both. confrere, with pleasure.
