GEN. TAYLOR THE DoER, Mr.. Polk THE
TALKER.-The Washington Union OCCASION
ally has a fling at the old Hero's rhetorical
powers, and contrasts his speaking talent with
that of Mr.. Polk. Old lack can very we'll
afford to acknowledge the corn. 1t is rarely
we see the union oftah and action, we'll remarks
the Savannah Republican. Usually, takers
are not doors, and doors are not takers. Gene
raj Taylor has done great deeds. Mr.. Polk
eloquently talked at Bunker Hill-General
Taylor cloquently acted at Buena VISTA
Schiller has hit offthe difference with all a poets
fire, in his Fiesco:
"Come near, painter. Proudly staid'st thou
there, because upon the dead canvass thou canst
simulate life and initiate great deeds with small
endeayor. Thou canst dilate with the poets
fire on the empty puppet show of fancy with
out heart and without the nerve Of I~ye-1nsp'r1ng,
deed; depose tyrants on canvass, and be thyself
a miserable slave, Thou canst liberate Re-
publics with a dash of the pencil, yet not break
thy chains. Go! Thy work is a mere juggle.
Let the semblance give place to reality. HAVE
DONE aohat thou hast only painted"

ten on the blank side of a printed circular OF
"Secret Decree" Of the Order of "Ousel Owls
in which he says:
q Isend you MI. Harmanson's speech, with the
request that you will transfer it to your col

conclaye." s,a. s.#svf-. ..-.
Now, we must inform our correspondent that
we decline publishing this speech for two rea-

such speech; and, secondly, our subscribers
would not be able to appreciate it in a manner
similar to the "Owls," who, at least, could give
a Sympathetic twist Of the head.

U-The Washington Globe, edited by Francis
P. Blair, than whom a more thorough going To-
cofoco never lived, speaks, of the Poussin affair
in the following emphatic terms:
A few words as to the merits of the question.
We believe our government to be decidedly
in the right, and NJ. Poussin to be decidedly in
the wrong. e
Il X < He lectures the Secretary, impeach-
es the integrity of the government, yllItles a
c%ourt-martial composed of honorable and con-
scientious officers; abuses two ofhcers-one OF
the Army and one of the Navy-whose conduct
the Secretary had approved, calling the former
a calumniator, and saying, with respect to the
latter, that he scaled on the cabinet OF Wash
ineton to address a severe reprooft to that officer
in the American Navy, in order that the error
which he has committed on a point involving the
dignity of your our] national marine might
not be repeated"
Really, this is heightened language, and alto
eether unbearable, according to our ideas OF d.
plomatic propriety. NJ. Poussin, whether he
intended to be so or not, is not a whit less AFRO
can't than were sMessrs. Genet and Jackson in
their day.

*Volunteers,
John Hi.

From the language of that gentleman in
his speech at Jackson, we were led to believe
that all connection or a~llusion, either person.
nal or political, with Col. Stewart was at an
end; but events have ome to light, exposing
the character Of that democratic parsonage
A few seintllations ofhis slanderous propensity
have reached us. In every one of his speeches
which we heard, he reproached Col. Stewart
ofhis having told "lies about him." In every
instance the Colonel successfully repelled the
charge, by asserting and proving the truthful
ness of his charges. Mr.. Harmansou is now
slandering his opponent every where, except be-
fore his face, where he would give him an OPP
portunity of unmasking him. 1t is always thus
with the coward who, not being able to vindi-
cate his own reputation, must resort to base ca
lumny to destroy that of his antagonist. fMr.
Harmanson refuses to have anything more to
do with his fair opponent, the least he ought
to do is not to misrepresent him; such a course
would be considered g~etlemanly; but if on the
other he chooses to SANDER him behind his back,
such must and will be set down as ~ungentle.

BENNETT ON R1rcH1E.-The New York
Herald says, Gas for the rawlings of the Union
we care nothing. Poor Richie is in his do
tage. He who was, one day, the reviler of Jack
son, and the next his fulsome eulogist-the
dociIe tool of Polk, and the tremulous expec-
tant of the success of Cass-ready at all times
to curse or fatter for a consideration is not
entitled to much regard, and may we'll be allowed
to perish in the imbecility of an old age, which
does not command the respect even Of the mas
tiers whose hand he has licked, and whose be-
hests he has un%scrupulously obeyed. Mr.. ex-

poly of dotage and scurrility, and can light his

UWill our correspondent ~. Of lberyille,"
be pleased to inform the Democratic prints who
is the author Of the articles that appearedin the
Sentinel lately above that signature! The
papers we allude to have found out the author,
they assert, and that it is no less a person than
Col. Stewart! Now, this statement has about
as much truth in it as many other things con-
tanned in their columns, butts as many at a dis
lance might be silly enough to believe this silly
charge, and as our mere. contradiction would
not be sufficient, we trust that ~. of Iberville"
will set those wise-acres straight.

Rouge Gazette, that the exports Of sugar from
Cuba for 1850, if nothing occurs to injure the
crop between this and the early part Of Decem.
Der, win be equal 70 100000 boxes, worth at
present rates (no losses i~ncluded) about $685.
100000. The largest crop ever exported hith-
erto was in ls47, amounting to near one mil
lion three hundred thousand boxes, since which
date the cultivation has been increased and the
present season has been uncommonly favora.

Col. r.. A. Stewart.

From all parts ofthis Congressional district,
saws the B. Rouge Gazette, we learn that Col.
Stewart is fast gaining ground. In fact moth
ing proves this more clearly than the excitement
that now pervades the democratic ranks, But
all the accusations and inuendoes Of Mr.. Har-
manson, his piteous appeals to the sympathy of
the people, and his Inconsistent statements will
avail him nothing, the Colonel will keep him
to his work until November, and if he ever fl
cures again in the halls Of Congress, it will be
bv a mere nominal majority.
Col. S. has been villified, his character gross
" calumniated and wantonly attacked-he has
been represented in several Of the democratic
papers of this district, as a monster, out OF the
pale of society, because as a preacher of the
gospel he dares be a candidate for a political Of
flee. In the northern part Of the district he
has been represented as a gambler, horseraeer,
and drunkard, charges which they did not dare
to bring against him here where he is known'
without heaping the contempt OF the commu-
nity on the authors o fthem. In his private life
Col. Stewart is a gentleman, a good citizen, be-
loved and respected by his %neighbors of both
political parties, and a signal rebuke will be CIV
en- to those false and malignant charges and
inuendoes in Iberyille in November next by
rolling up at least three times the majority 'for
Stewart that E~1arrdanson will receive in Pointe
Coupee.

letters from Belyrane state that Dembinski was
far from intending to initiate the conduct of

last, but. that the fightof Kossuth had compell-
ed him to relinquish the idea. The lastinterview
between Kossuth and Georgey was very bitter.
All Kossuth's eloquence and presence of mind
is said to have forsook him, and next day he
was in full fight for the Turkish territory, and
Georgey for the Russian camp.

The CITY i'm October.

Having inst returned from New Orleans, we
are able to say something respecting its health
business, and political aspect. With regard to
the first, we can say, that from a residence OF
several wears, New Orleans has never appeared
| to US to be healthier than at the present time
| in fact, there are no signs or talk of sickness or
disease whatever; every one has the appearance
| of health and activity; and physicians, with
their hands in their breaches pockets, and with
rueful countenances, are seen promenading the
streets, chatting with their friends in the fash
ionable bar-rooms, and squeezing through the
crowds at public meetings; we will venture to
say, that for its population there is no city in
the Union as healthy as New Orleans is at the
present time. As a consequence of uninter-
rupted health, the streets are filling up with new
faces, and sold remembered ones" who annual
ly fly from their homes, to return after a limited
period; as a matter of course, as the pavements
become crowded, so will the store rooms of ev-
cry description of business: the country mer-
chants are laying in their stocks, and towards
the dusk of evening, the various dry goods and
jewelry stores are filled with the fair, looking
over the latest styles, and making the active
and handsome clerks measure and wrap up
with a velocity that would astonish some of
our country bred statesmen; such being the ac-
tivity at present among the mercantile commu-
nifty, what may they expect a month hence,
when all their goods have arrived, and when the
full tide of the winter custom sets in We pre-
dict a great business season for New Orleans.
Indeed, so busy is every branch of business at
this time, we learn, that all the printing offices
are doing a smashing business" except the
Campaign Standard office-its smashing will
commence about the 9Th of November. Poll
tics is becoming to be the sole subject by day
and the sole order Of night; the various local
candidates are struggling with Unprecedented
energy, and their strikers can already be seen
in every direction, using their peculiar elo-
quence and logic, according to the kind of in
dividual they have by the button; We were told
by one who professed to be a Democrat, that
Freret, the Wing candidate for Sheriff, would
distant his opponent, Gen. Lewis; all of the
Irish influence would be exerted against the
latter. Soon after dark the professions COM
mence, the music and the cheers begin, and the
banners and transparencies are seen in every
direction. Last Saturday night was q glorious
night, the Wings were out in their strength, and
their lively chorus, spoke in thunder tones of
the victory that will soon be ours. The great
Tehuantepec meeting is another grand feature
to mark this month in the city, but of that, and
the great speech of Benjamin on the OCCASION,
we must speak another time,

Col. Stewart and his DetractOrs.

The following communication, which we
take from the last Baton Rouge Gazette, re-
quires no explanation:
IBERv1LLE Sept. 25th, 1849.
We have seen with surprise in the last num-
Der of the Democratic Advocate a certificate
paraded before the public, attempting to esta-
blish that Col. R. A. Stewart was not solicited
by any one to become the commanding officer
of the Baton Rouge company to Mexico.
In Justice to Col. S. we the undersigned, his
~neighbors and friends of both political parties,
beg leave to state, that Col. S. was among, if
not the first in getting up'tie Iberville company
of Volunteers for Mexico, and before it was
completed he went TO Baton Rouge, and there
assisted in raising a company, of which, when
it was completed he was elected Captain, much
to the chagrin and disappointment of the her
vile Volunteers, who were unanimous in the
wish that he should command them-Indeed
twelve of the latter company did actually attach
themselves to the company from Baton Rouge
and went to Mexico with Col. S.
The issue before the public seems to be that
Col. S. was no. solicited to become the Cap
tain of the Baton Rouge company; now if his
election to the command of that company is
any evidence of the fact the Col. we believe has
it, for if our memories serve us faithfully, he
was elected its Captain and went with it to
Mexico.
1t is to be regretted that ~partizan feeling will
be carried so far-The certificate alluded to
above has appended to it respectable names,
men who if facts were fairly stated to them
would be the last to do an act Of injustice to any
oneIand especially to a citizen soldier, who athis
country's call left his home, and was among the
first to plant his foot upon the enemy's soil.
