The Wing Speakers last Monday.

Agreeable to previous announcement, Col. K
A. STEWART and the Hon. DUNCAN F. KENNEL
addressed their fellow-citizens in Plaquemint
last Monday. As previously stated by Us, Gen
ALEXANDER DECLaUET was prevented from ap
pearing, in consequence of being suddenly call
ed home, through the visitation of Providence
in the loss of a beloved son.
Col. Stewart first arose. He said that he ap'
| peared before his fellow-citizens in a new posi-
ton; and however unwillingly, he must on this
occasion, pass over much that is Of interest fol-
them to know, and limit himself to a defence
of a personal attack made upon him by John
H. Harmanson~upon that very spot. Mr.. Har'
manson had refused to travel with him, that the
people might hear both sides of the question
at the same time, and judge aocerdingly-the
gentleman had his orn good reasons for non
complying wih this proposal. Mr.. Fl. had said
that his opponent had misrepresented his posi-
ton on the Texas annexation question. Twill
prove to you, said the speaker, that | was quo
ting from public documents to prove my asser-
tons. He then turned to page ii of the Sc
nate journal of lS45, where Mr.. Harmanson,
and the only Senator that roted in the negative,
refused to instruct our senators and represen-
tatires in Congress to vote for the annexation
of Texas to this Union upon the terms that
Louisiana was admitted, with her slaves! This
vote was given in opposition to every Wing
and Democratic senator, and was virtually tell
ing the abolitionists of the North that John Fl.
Harmanson did not want Texas annexed, if we
must be saddled likewise with her slavery! 1t
was registered in black and white, and no other
construction could be placed upon his vote, let
the gentleman say what he might. In his
speech, Mr.. Harmanson charged his opponent
with accusing him with fraud-and Col. Stew-
art prored satisfactorily to his audience that the
Hon. John II. Harmanson HAD committed a
fraud! 1t seems that Mr.. H., in his speech at
Jackson, read letter purporting to be written
by S. ]. Peters, Collector at N. Orleans, relative
the law of collecting duties upon imported
products, pretended in fact to give that law
but the letter, instead Of coming from Peters,
was from S. ]. Penn, which was conclusively
proved by the Coloners producing a certificate
from the editor of the Mirror, published at
Jackson, (and the gentleman a Democrat at
that) which stated that the letter read by Har-
manson, which he said was signed by Peters,
was in reality singned samuel J. Penn" But
subsequently to this, says the Colonel, Mr..
Harmanson has procured a genuine letter from

CoRREcT1oN.-In our last, in referring to an
editorial article in the Democrat which made a
personal attack upon us, we alluded to a person
as the author that could not be mistaken. Mr..
J. II. Balch was the gentleman to whom we al
luded. He, however, has given us his word Of
honor that he was not the author, and moreover
that he has not written any thing for the Dem
ocrat for the last six months, and then merely
an article or two on the Tariff. Mr.. Balch's
word in this respects sufficient for Us, He has
ever maintained a character for honor and pro-
bity in this community, and we rejoice to find
that our suspicious, which appeared clear to
many beside ourself, are erroneous, for the word
of honor of one who has ever sustained an
irreproachable demeanor, is sufficient evidence
for a just and generous mind. No one will
more willingly than ourself make reparation
for unjust injury to the feelings of any one.

DTGen. Walker is at present on a tour
through the Ounchita parishes. The Louisiana
American speaks Of his visit in the following
terms:
1t is now some three or four weeks ago since
Gen. Walker, or as some Of the Locos delight
to call him-"Old Walk-in-the water, favored
Monroe with visit, but lest the natives should
think themselves too highly hOnored by this
mark of condescension, he took care to tell
them that he only came here in consequence of
being unable to go elsewhere; being as he very
candidlv informed them, severely afflicted with
a terrible boil, the locality of which we do not
care to mention in his own words, but which
rendered travelling on horseback absolutely
impossible. And at present, Monroe being
comeatable by water, he thought he might as
well favor us with the light of his counte-
nance.
The General remained here but one night and
left next day in charge of his political patron,
Gen. Downs, who showed him round through
the parish of Union, and a corner Of the parish
Of Jackson, and brought him back to Monroe.
X X x x X X x X X
On the whole, we do net think that Gen
Walkers visit to Ouachita has helped his pros
poets. Should he make TO more favorable I'M
preston elsewhere than he has done here, we
cannot but giyesa as our opinion that those who
have charge of the old gentleman had better
keep him at home.

AGRIcuLTURAL-We would be very glad f
som of our planters would occasionally, week
ly if possible, give us an article relative to the
interest of the planter in this section of coun-
try. We are confident that many Of our read
ers are both willing and competent to write
ESSAYS, brief and to the point, that would be
highly instructive; and we trust that this hint
will put their pens in motion. In our agricul-
tural exchanges, it is not at all times that we
can find an article sufficiently interesting for this
community to authorize its publication. How
ever-we don't like to make promises--but, in
future, we will strive to place in the "Planter's
on the fourth page, much that will

"WHY, ANT YOU THE EDITOR Of TIL Sou
THERN SENTINEL !'-We accidcntly heard rela-
ted the following incident a day or two since,
by a gentleman who is an entire strange. to us.
We did not know before that we were such a
DRAGON, and it accounts for the enmity and per-
s%ecution which begin to characterize onr politl-
cal enemies. We relate as near as possible IN
the rentleman's own words:
Il asserted in the presence Of a gentleman
that Mr.. uarmanson said, in his speech at Bay
GU GouIa, that the planter could afford to sell
his sugar for two and a half cents per ID. This
the gentleman alluded to denied, and we agreed
to leave it to Mr.. Harmanson himself who just
then passed.
d "Did you not" said l, addressing Mr.. Ilar-
manson, "say that the planter could afford to
sell his sugar for two and a half cents per h.,
or, that he could afford to live at that rates"
swell, s'pose I did-spose | did" answered
Harmanson, "does it injnre you, sir? does it in
terest you, sir? You've done more to injure
me, sir, since the canvass commenced, sir, than
any man in the District, sir"
"What do you mean,'' said the gentleman
'do YOU know whom you are talking to|
= "Why, amt you the Editor Of the Southern
Sentinel"
"Well, I "aint." answered the gentleman
whereupon, Mr.. Harmanson unscrewed his phiz
wheeled about, and was off.

THE Wing NOMINEE FOR CoNGREss.-Tbe
Concordia 1%ntelligencer, in giving an animated
sketch Of his speech at Vidalia, thus speaks Of
Col. Stewart:
He is well fortified with political facts, has a
thorough knowledge Of the geography, resour-
ces and wants of this Congressional district
seems to be practical in all his views,-has a
happy mode of communicating them to his
hearers, and is altogether an earnest, ~untiring.
shrewd, intelligent and formidable man, with a
keen perception and high admiration of the
ludicrous, which he applies to his opponent with
such rare good humor as to give to his exposures
a severity the more intensely excruciating.

"THE ZoD1Ac."-We have received the pro-
spectus ola new journal to be entitled as above
proposed to be published in New Orleans. The
Zodiac is to be devoted to Literature, the Arts
and Sciences, and to the interests of the Masonic
Fraternity" Mr.. Bacon proposes to
the publication of his periodical by the 18th of
October next. We trust ample pecuniary sue
cess may reward his labors in the path he has
cho sen.

rTMr. Harmanson asserted in his speech
here that every sugar planter makes 80 per cent
annually, and that that amount was SUFFICIENT,
and he ought to be satisfied. Now, by this cal
~culation of the sage gentleman, the owner OF
a plantation worth one hundred thousand dol
lars, makes $4,000 clear every year. Absurd
We learn from an extensive planter, that with
the ~strictest economy he has not been able to
realize seren per cent for the last two years.
This is the way Harmanson goes about
speechifying, and telling the sugar planters that
their interests are sufficiently protected, and
that they ought to let weN enough alone; while,
at the same time, they are expanding large sums
for the produce of Northern manufactures and
Western farms-and at high rates, too. Don't
believe Harmanson's logic, that YOU will be the
losers by asserting your rights. The people OF
the North and the West cannot but be sensible
that the more protection the planter gets on his
sugar, q proportionate higher price viii they
Ohe manufacturers and planters OF tho North
and Vest receive for their produce; and, at
the same time, energy and activity, through the
advantage of a higher price on our staple, are
given to every branch of labor i'll the South
making the interest Of the sugar planters, who
control the capital of the sugar region, equally
the interest Of the poor mar and the mechanic.
Voters! place, then, your. seal of condemna-
ton upon the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress, for, whatever your business, John Il.
Harmanson i, your worst enemy.

citizen of Donaldsonville-Mr. A. J. POWELL

November. The Locos have tried to coax him
back into their ranks by promising to nominate
him for public office. The following is his man.

to the Democratic Convention, shortly to assem-
Bile, for the purpose of nominating a candidate

respectfully request the use Of your columns to
state, to such as may receive such an impression,
that such is far from my intention. Having
given Gen. Taylor my support to the Presiden-
cy, in November last, and having no cause to
regret the course l then pursued, l 40 not now
wish to cramp his efforts to carry out his views,
by voting with those who are opposed to the
success of his measures.
