Yours truly,


To THE EDITOR or THE DEMocRAT,
Saturday was proud day for the Democracy
of Madison. 1t having been announced in the
early part Of the week that our able and accom-
plished Senaror, Mr.. WALKER would address the
people, on that day, the Democratic farmers
and citizens in this Vicinity determined on fur
nishing dinner, and giving him a reception
worthy his distinguished services and devotion
to the interests Of the State. Notwithstanding
the short notice, a most qumptuOus and excel
lent dinner was provided, and some Eve or six
hundred Of the Democracy, including $50 or 900
ladies, were in attendance. Mr.. Walker took
the stand at about eleven O'Clock, and entered
into an argument Of some three hours, chiefly
"""'u 60 4hH Texas question, aud the vital
Importance to the South or rss ,---.Ant ooD...4
Most of your readers heard Mr.. w. at licking

enter into any detail Of HE speech. All l can
say ia, that if the Wing Cotton planters in full
knowledge Of the startling facts presented so In.
cldIy by him, still persist in the error of their
ways, in blind devotion to men, regardless Of
their nearest interests on their own heads be the
consequences, unless, as il is to be hoped. tbosa
consequences are not waVded off BY the sucoess
OF the Democratic candidates in the battle tn

with great attention, and at the close, and fire.
