COMPLIMENT TO SENATOR HAYWOOD.

As testimony of their respect for his character and
affection for his person, many of the friends OF the
Hon. William II. Haywood, (who will leave in lew
days for Washngton,) gave him supper at the Long
Room of our worthy and hosptabe fellow townsman,
John Hulchins, Esq. We regret TO state, however,
that owing TO sudden and savere attack OF sickness,
by which he is yet confined, Mr.. IL. was prevented
from attending.
But though the company were disappointed of enjoy
ing from Mr.. Haywood, the intelligent rcpas they had
expected, there present many who contributed
abundant humour, eloquence and social glee for the
occasion, and made il emphatcaly of the most
delightful Of the kind witnessed DR.. Josiah
o. Watson presided, with his usual urbanty and pu-
tsness.
OF the speakers, we mention with great pride and
satisfaction our distinguished Representative, General
r. NJ Saunders, invited guest, who made one OF his
happest efforts for the occasion, and in brief review
of the late canvass the bitter ard unrelentng oppos-
ton which was waged against him, and the triumphant
support of his neghbors ind those who knew him BEST
was truly eloquent. The company also honored
by the presence of the honorable Edmund w. HUBBARD
Representative in Congress from Virginia. THIS gen.
tleman up, Immediately upon The announcement
Of his presence, late hour, by toast compliments
ry his State and for time entertained the meet
ing with some Of the richest specimens OF humor
ever listened to- For the benefit o! all Coons,
heartily wish could faithfully transfer to this para
graph, one two Of his anecdotes Illustrating the
doctrines Of pledges and practses We do not wonder
that Colonel HUBBARD should have been elected from
Wing district. With the sound practical good sense,
and agumentative power evinced by his spt ech in ~
against the Wing Tariff, united with such extraodna-
ry elements of humor, wit and coed feeling, he dis
played this occason-he is just the 10 beat any
