enlightening the "Banner" upon the feelings of
the democracy Of this section Of the State, in re-
lalion to the late Democratic convention. And
further, YOU assume to yourselves the right of
stating, that WHICH is only known to ourselves and
tho authors, that the several communications
whlch'appeared in our paper, purporting to be
written by democrats. were the outpourings of
"Eagle-eyed Wings" for the purpose of dividing
the party.
We who probably are well informed upon
these subjects, take the liberty of stating that you
may have declared "honestly and fairly the sem
timents of that portion Of the party who work in
harness, regardless of who may be the driver,
but you dill not express the feelings and views Of
the unbought and Independent democracy for
whom you assume to speak.
The authors of several communications, who
you are pleased to call "Eagle-eyed Wings" are
genuine democrats who are of and with the party.
We should not have been induced to notice
your communication, if it had not have been that
we drew down upon Our humble heads tho ro Of
sn Distinguished and powerful clique. for acting
true to our motto to IS LIE: every Freeman speak
his thoughts, ;" for having the Independence to
preserve neutrality so far to let every par
,y have hearing, for which neutrality is at
tackled; and the faithful made to understand
that We do not deserve and must not receive their
patronage.
Overwhelmed rs by the dicta Of your
potent body, we must inform you that eren the
fear Of your displeasure cannot harness us
that We will remain neutral and independent
through tho whole Of the coming canvass.
We should be happy to be informed by some of
you the eaaci views and sentiments Of your kin
relative to calling a new Convention.
We arc well Informed upon the subject relative
to the late Convention, and have only to say lei,
the "Banner' and the party be Influenced by
your declaration and not listen to those "Egle-
eyed Wings" Of the " lnteIligencer" and tho re-
suit in October will tell who are true TO the r
party.
Scott County Courl.-We are requested to state
that Judge Brown. the day previous to his intend
ed departure to mold the Court in Scott county.
was thrown from his horse. and was seriously in.
lured. In consequence of which he was prevent
ed from holding court in said county, during the
usual term. Tho Judge will hold special term
on the LIST Monday in April.
The Express Mau.-Wo arc indebted to the
politcness Of Captain IIaIderman, of tho splendid
steamer Express Mail, for late Now Orleans pa.
pcrs.
This commodous and fast sailing boat made
her last trip to this place from New Orleans in 6
days and 10 hours, being detained hours on the
way by tho fog.
The Trident.-We were gra,ified to sec our
old friend, Capt. Houston, of the Trident. arrive
at our wharves, after his long soourn on the ba r
near tho ''fve islands, For seven months the
Trident stuck high and dry. appeared to the pass
ers as fixture" at the bar. The last fine rise
floated her off; and we hope the kind, accomno-
dating old Captain will receive that patronage
which he richly deserves, and will patty COM
pensa,e him for his lute bad fortune.
Candidates.-The Democrats havo determined
to hold county convention to select suitable can.
didotes for the Legislature of the State and to ap
point delegates to the State Convention at Little
Rock in April. The gentlemen mentioned in our
last, VIII be, rs TAR as we can learn, the cand-
dates on the democratic ticket.
Tho Wings appear to be more unsettled rs to
their selection of candidates. 1t is now supposed
that Mr.. S. Elkins will not BE- run for the House,
as we stated in our last. James A. Simpson, ESQ.,
will most likely be the man, as many of his nu.
merous warm friends have expressed wish tina,
he will allow himself to be a candidate.
