of the United States, without regard to past
political differences or divisions, who are opposed

Miss Urso,s complimentary Benefit.


This interesting atteststion of the good feel
ing and admiration of citizens of Nashville for
true merit and genius comes off to- night at the
Theatre. The beneficiary is to have the ad-
vantage of the assistance of Mrs. MACRERY,
Miss COOLIDGE and Mr.. TAYLOR. As q vocalist
Mrs. NJ. already enjoys deservedly high repu-
tation in her native city, and on this occasion
her friends and admirers have fair oppOrtu-
nifty in the selections she has made, to compare
her with artistes Of celebrity from abroad who
have entertained our citizens One OF the
most beautiful of all the selections for tile con-
cert room, we esteem that gem from the Son
nambulst, "Ah non giuage," and we fare quite
confident it will be sung on this evening with
remarkable skill. Miss @. will give the audi
ence a touch Of their good taste and cutiva-
ton, in solo on the piano forte. Amongst
the selections for Miss URso we note the
Witches Dance" by Paganini, which, as rem
dered by her, is charming evidence Of the
wondrous ability Of the old master; and TAY-
LoR's accompaniment confers upon bis uDques-
toned ability signal credit. The duet from the
opera of WIN. Tell s another selection in which

DIR. Bafrd-Last Lecture.


Our readers will bear in mind the lecture Of
DIR. BAIRD upon England tonight, which will
be the last of the series that have been attend
ed with so much pleasure by our citizens,
upon the great countries of Europe. Each OF
these lectures is independent in ITSELF contain
ing a varied store of information, interspersed
with personal anecdotes, illustrations of the
manners and customs of the nations treated of,
the nature of their government, character OF
their sovereigns, &c, topics of the most alb
sorbing interest. DR.. Baird is one of the Oldest
and most distinguished travellers of the age.
A careful aud accurate observer, and speaking
from personal observation, his descriptions may
be relied on with the utmost confidence. Con-
sdering the many changes that have recently
taken place among the nations of Europe, and
the still more momentous changes that are
now pending, it is gratifying to have the OBJ
servations of one so thoroughly posted in re-
gard to these things.
Our "Young Mems Christian Association, >
through whose iDstrumeutality DIR. Baird is
now among US deserve the unbounded thanks
Of our citizens. 1t is to their enlightened zeal
we are indebted for the pleasure of listening
to the most eminent trave ller our country can
boast of-one who is perhaps as widely known
abroad, and has exerted as great an influence
for good in the courts of Europe, in his person
a. capacity, as any other man living. As the
lecture for tonight is for the benefit Of the
Young MEMS Christians Association, we hope
our citizens will manifest their appreciation.
The lecture upon Italy on Monday night, be-
sides the usual maps, figures of costume, &c,
was illustrated by magnificent drawings of the
antique wonders and colossal ruins of that
remarkable land-a land slumbering for ages
beneath the pail oppression and superstition,
but yet retaining the latent elements of its
former glory, and even now all but ready to
burst forth into new life. England, too, has
her relics of the past, which are not the less
interesting on account Of her present glory;
and her intimate relations to our own country,
past, present, and TO come, render her to us,
especially at this time, an object of the greatest
moment. We therefore earnestly recommend
general attendance upon the lecture of to-
night

PHILADELPHIA, May 10.

PHILADELPHIA, May 10.
The American Party are not at all discouraged
by their defeat here on Tuesday last The election
was purely n municipal one, and neither State nor
National politics entered into the result. The Gov
eminent has only been partially American for the
year past, the city having gone against the Amer.
leans year since By extravaganza cries about
great taxation,-(it is 90 here, and the general
complaint against the ins-nO matter who Is iu,-
and by the intense eagerness for the $50 places in
the gift Of the Mayor, on the part of the outs,
local overthrow of the Municipal Government has
been effected. But the defeat is local and tempo
rary. 1t in no way affects our confidence in State
OF National nominations. The vote is larger than
il was two years SINCE and the Democratic party
only succeed by the few thousand votes secured
from the Republicans, the Seward Wings and the
intensified hate OF the Roman Catholics OF the city,
who as such,-and as enemies Of Americans aud
Protestants, combined nearly one man to defeat
the American Party. The Priests have stimulated
their people to tight for a change, and the pOit>
clans stimulated the Priests. But the Roman Catho-
lies would have been weak without Republican
Wing and Democratic aid. SAM could whip either.
or the two latter, but not three or four combined.
The fact that Irish Romanists a unit against
Americans will only warm the ardor Of American
Protestants hereafter, and the fact that the Demo-
cratic party use, dupe and combine with these
men, will gradually make them oil contemplate in
the eyes OF good citizens. The Reads and the I'll.
pins Influenced the North American (the old U. S
Gazette paper seventy years Old and Of large I'M
huence among the old of people, to oppose the
American Party, and it is to be made an official or
gan by that act The honors were well earned, and
it is but fair they should be paid for in Democratic
patronage.
Nearly t,Oenty-tiUe thousand Uotes BsTe thTown for
tie american ticket on Tuesday. Five thousand
would be added TO the number il the Election were
TO take place on Tuesday next. when the new May
is TO be inaugurated, aud this in consequence Of
the disgust incident to the throng OF foreigners who
have crowded around the public Offices within the
week past, about all Of whom are in expectation Of
places.
The $4,000 Americans in the city will add
strength to their numbers, faith TO their courage,
and hope ia the future. They deserve success and
mean 20 have it, Defeated they are united, while
the enemy, in victory, must soon be scattered and
divided.
Could any national Interpretation be given TO the
Election, il would be favorable to Mr.. Fillmore;
will give a majority Of from seUen TO nine thousand
IN November neSf. In this belief, and knowing Of
thousands who did not voted on Tuesday, or who
voted for VauX, and who will vote for Fillmore in
November, speak advisedly, and in concurrence
with that expressed by our best informed citizens.
