MIR. EDITOR
Permit me through the columns Of vor
paper, to give brief account of ,hings ).
they transpired in Tchula, on Saturday
last. X was understood on the dav benrs
that Col. Bingaman, one of the Who ca0
didates for congress, intended 10 nav ; II.
citizens Of Tchula visit. Whereunoo
with readiness which characterizes them
upon all such occasions, very handsome
dinner was prepared, TO which about sixlv
or seventy persons sat down about 5
o'clock. Alter the removal of the cloth.
the table was spread with wines Of differ.
ent kinds, when the chairman, DR.. G.
KERN, WINS called on for a sentiment,w which
he very readily gave, and which alluded
to tho patriotism, talents and distinguished
services which had been rendered The state
BY Col. Blngaman; to which, as matter
Of course, the Colonel responded as soon
as silence was restored by The applaudine
assembly. Which Responsiveness however
prefaced by some pertinent remarks with
regard TO general politics; among the rest
the immense amount Of money wasefuly
expended by the officers Of the general
government. He did not take as wide
view ofthe subject as he would have done,
had he visited This place for the purpose
Of addressing the people. He beng in.
formed that nearly all of the citizens Of
this yielnlty, were supporters Of his doc.
trines.
The colonel, however, did not 60 by IN.
answered on this occasion. As soon as hi.
sentiment was offered and drank. which
was complimentary to the town and
Holmes county generally, and the com.
pany ceased their applauding, VIM. j.
Frayser, Esq. rose and responded TO him
with his usual degree of readiness, or
which he is characterised on occasions Of
discussion. He called upon the colonel
Tor proof to sustain him in the charges he
had made. To which the colonel replied
las said before), that he did not expec!
TO address fhe citizens here, when he con.
Guided to visit them; he had, therefore,
sent his documents ahead by his servant
TO Carrollton. But as the toast which had
been offered by DR.. KERN, applied alone
to himself, he felt bound to say something
upon the occasion. The proof which ID
alluded to, he said had been taken from
the records of The Journals of the Senate
and House of Representatives of the Con.
gress of the United States, and not from
newspapers alone. Mr.. Frayser, however,
though;it very good opportunity to make
some allusion to the gentleman's travelling
without his "papers." Mr. f. was very
happy in his remarks, and made them ap.
propriate for the occasion.
Alter which Mr.. Cardozo got up and
made some remarks with regard 10 bis
being candidate for the Legislature; TO
the time when he first arrived in Missis.
slppi; to Col. Bingaman, who was one
among the first whose hospitality he shared,
DC. for which be felt grateful, &C.; touch.
ing upon the national bank question, and
other matters Of general interest, but as
the assemblage savored SO strong Of whlg'
ism, made but little impression on the
minds Of those present. The remarks Of
Mr.. G. concluded the discussion. lmme'
diately, after which, the company left tho
table and repaired to the dwelling Of our
friend L. 9. Galloway, where they all
Joined once more in social glass Of some
thing to enliven the spirits, where they're
manned for an hour or two, when the COM
pany dispersed in peace and harmony;
Nothing Of consequence having occurred
TO mar The good feeling and friendship
which pervaded on the occasion.
Col. Bingaman made decidedly favora'
BILE impressions on all whomzhe met here;
being personally acquainted with Oa'
some five or six persons before he arrived.
His friends here look forward with en,lIe
confidence to his success at the Novem0el
JULIAN.
