HARD To SrIT.-The Washington Sentinel
say that, "tike away from General Pierce his
inaugural, his last annual, and his special mes
sage, and the most ardent partizans could not
scrape together, and patch up a record which

hand, some of General Pierce's friends say
that, take all that Mr. Buchanan has said since
he began his political life, and it would pre

N ICARA.,;.Li.A ME'rric.-A larg"T.d c1 inthu
siastic meeting of the citizens of talon Rouge
favorable to the caouse of Nici;ragua. took
place on Mon;day evening last a, the Court
House.
The meetiing was called to orner vy J. J.
JoN.s. I;sq.. and rconi .ated Major Gen. R.
E. lcl;co.t as President of the meeting
and A. W. BIEL. as Secretary.
The object of the meeting was ably and
eloquently set forth ty the President. who
dwelt sonme time upon the importance andi
duty ofsalt good American citizens to assist
their brethren in spreading the principles of
Republican institutions. The Gen. was waim
lv cheered throughout his remarks.
Our good natured and gentlemanlv Se-re
tary of State. Maj. haaRo, then mounted the
stand, and delisered one of those plhin. clear
and telling speeches. in which he depicted in
;glom"ing colors the struggles of our brethren
in South Amnerica. a.nd the iiuporta.c: c of te
issue to our government. Majur Ile:r.:
was fiequen'ly iliterrvptted Ib loud and re
peated cheering. On takig h:s seat lion.
Goo:Gr: C. 3IcWHORaTE then addreiseil the
meeting in such a foricble manner that it
-tirred them ulp to a lever pitch of exci'e
ment. His appeal to the feelings of National
honor and pride of American citizens to come
forward and extend their aid to those who
were fighting under every disadvantage--nn
der a tropical sun--against double and triple
their number of adversaries--elicited the
warmest'enthusiasm, which frequently burst
forth into cheers.
At the conclusion of Judge lcWn;oarER's
speech, a committee was appointed to solicit
material aid by subscription for the Republi
can party in Nicaragua Messrs. J. J. JONES.
W. S. PIKC and Major ITerron was appointed
o. this committee. It is almost needless to
add that the best feeling characterized the
entire proceedings of the meeting.
SWe received the I)onaldsonville Vigil
ant, of May 24th with a request to exchan,-e,
wr:tten upon the margin. Satisfied that we
had exchanged regularly with that paper, we
thought seriously of "blowing 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,
Vigilant. Upon comparing them together
we obhersed a slight difference in the "head"
of one paper.-it reading Vigilnat, and the
other reading Vigilant. This probably ac
counts for the Vigilant not recieving our pa
per-it having been recieved by the Vigil
nat. To avoid difficulty, hereafter. gentle
men, we suggest an extensior ot your names
to Vigilantnat and Vigi!antant. We exchange
with, you both, confreres with pleasure.

GnOVFrtrr:NTMr.- e do not see how the re
cognition of the Walker government can give
just offence to foreign governments, or how
it can, except inirectiy and remotely.involve
us in new difficulties. If. indeed, the estalh
lishment of the Walker rule is but the first
stept towards an attack upon Cuba. there'rill
necessarily be trouble growing out of it: but
it is not proper to assiume thi-. however judi
cious it may be to guardi against it. It will
l. time enough to meet the case when it p:e
senta itself. If the people'of Nic.ragua
choose to have the governmert of Walker,
or if he sustains himself there, whether a
majority of the people want him or not, we
do not see how our government " an, consis
teutly with its uniform practice. refuse to re
cognize him. That the President has acted
inconsistantly inthe matter. and has changed
his policy, without any change in the cir
ctumsta,-ecs on which it was founded, is un
doubtedly true. After the stand that he had
taken, he should have waited for further in
