extended over our village.
= during the last week TIE apostle OF an
ti-bondism, J. D. Freeman paid our village
visit. He came with " Free Trader
l.. fame, as the orator whose eloquence. had
ecIipsed the sublime genius of" the bright
and particular star" Mississippi's most
gifted son the Hon. Mr.. Prenliss, and
! whose antiNbond arguments had driven
the chieGain of the wing forces Judge
y. Shat,uck TO the wall and torn threadbare
the bond banner, which he carried in his
march through the State. All the hearts
OF The beGdmen in our town were quaiing
with the fear that this most nvinci5Ie
apostle, would ride rough shod booted and
spurred over our cause, and cause our
Standard TO trail in the dust Though
our hearts quallcd, yet we were not afraid
to trust our David, Mr. Smiley with his
fragile sling against this GoIiah, whose
stalwart arm, had overthr own the most
skiIl'uI and powerful Knights Of our party,
believing our cause was n righteous one.
We'll The encounter come. The bait g !
enSued and David's rock thrown from the !
sling Of truth, struck GoIiah upon his
forehead and he reoIed and tell, and the
shout Of the bond forces rose in the air,
like the song OF Moses and the children
OF Israel )" David hath triumphed glori-
ousIy, the horse and his der has he
thrown into the sea-" But 10 drop all Of
the tiguratIve. Mr. Freemans speech was
as good a one as could we'll be made upon
that side Of the question. He is good
declalmer, has ii ready flow of words, and
isquite genlemanIy 10 his antagonists. His
mind, however, we can but believe is more
superficial, than profound, the verdant
fields OF Literature would be more suited
to his genius, than the may labarynths of
politics or law. Mr.. Smily's speech in
reply 10 Mr.. Freeman, was the best we S
ever heard from him. 1t was able, eIo- q
quent and conclusive. He used Mr. Free.
mans own illustrations against him g." TO i
the delight OF the bond payers, and the I
amusement Of the other side" The tri-
lmph Of Smiley was manifest TO ALL
With reason, troth and argument on his :
side, how could it be otherwise. ,

The SECOND VETO AGAIN. had not c
intended to add any thing to my remerks '
on this subject in the Advocate OF last q

The character Of Mr.. Tyler which had I

that his virtues and talents I
huve been overra ted. Mr.. Ewing's state. t
ments, corroborated by those of Messrs. q
Bell aud Badger, show beyond all doubt, i
that by the second veto, the President has r
rejected his own plan of fiscal corpora. q
ton, and in so dong, has triiled with his /
friends in the cabinet, with his friends i
in Congress, with the public interest, and I
with his own high station. His cabinet a
friends owed it TO themselves and their I
country, 10 sever their official connection +
with him, and to give the reason of it TO r
the public. II is true that one oil them, a
Mr.. Webster, who still continues his con. h

his own course, which is singular enough. $
