As there seems TO be disposition on the part OF lew
day for Mr. soue for he U. s. Senate feel it duty
owe to and the Wing party TO m AXE PLAIN state
of the which induced me thus TO act IL VII
be remembered that on Saturday night the Wings Of
both Houses held and nomin ,ted Hon Duncan
Kenner their candidate for the L. s. Senate MIR Myles
was and pledged for the nominee and
med elighted at the nominationof Mr. Bad
sentative from Natchtoches that he would vote with bis
party. Under these circumstances We felt sure that we
~ that were shoat community On yesterday about
II o'clock Informed that Mr. Myles was not to be
found then observed 20 several Wing senators that
Kenner would be deesed that yles would not be ab
sent unless other Wing had pledged himself 70 vote
for Mr. Sde could see no object Ia seatlng MI myles
away II all the other Wings voted for the nominee II
was known that the Wings had msJorty OF TWO
the absence of Myles would still leave them a
When the two houses (Mr Myles being still absent
Mr. KenneI the trst ballot received o. Vote s'' on
ing for Mr. sde and Col. Maunsell White voting Tor
Col Nicholas second ballot tooE pace o % n DR. Bra
shear retired Before however, we eit the House OF re
presentstives requested Hon. g. c McWhorter, be-
ieving there wasno possibility OF eeepg MI s, 70
ask Col. White ii hs would vote for Hon A butH II
ne would not then ost all hope OF MI shoeI oeeaS
After reached the Senate chanoer-ln iact before we
left the House Of Rspresentativesl assured that Col
White would vote for Mr. slidell on the third ballot
had also been informed, and believed that MI BALDWIN
ton The election Of MI Slide and the defeat o. ar
kennsr, the third ballot, thought inevitable nce
observed that at the thai hsd been
practiced and said, that to prevent MI Sldes eeeon
would vote for Mr. Soule If he would. MI sisur asented
AT this time did know that any other Wing OF Demo
crat would for Mr.. SOue except Mr. Sigur and my
self Immediately informed Mr.. kenner OF what had Ia
Ken MACE and told him that the only way 10 prevent The
eecfon OF Mr. Sldell bring about division in the
Democratic ranks MIR Kenner IN reply SAID, that per.
hans IL was trick the part of the opposite party
replied that II So Mr. Soue wouls be elected instead
| of Mr. Slidell-a result which greatly pref.tred-
II IL true that did not think that all Of Mr. Sill
delps friends would desert him the first ballot to
| come of, and ] only pledged for the hfs pal
| lot In this, freely admit that was ovefreached-
When returned the second time TO the House o hep

eprea 10 him that effect had Col White said to
s ge New that he would vote for Mr. Sdell on that ballot

f, enee Nj kenne and for Mr. kenner in prefer
enee TO Mr. soue do pretend TO conjecture perhaps

apees; but with many others, believed that improper
means Ia been used BON in procuring the absence Of MI
Nvs and in getting Mr. Bsds In TO vote sssinst Mr. Ken
| 80 Hov could We think otherwise when we had the
ns5yss OF roth these gentlemen that they would vote for
