 fessrs. Ehtors Pursuant to appointment. the candidates met our people here to-day. to adaress them upon itc Congressional tleutiaa. \ very latge and respectable proportion ol the voters of Hot Spsng county were present. esueiug much anxiety to hear tbe discussion. Capt. Preston opened the debate in a very bold and courteous manner, yahemenJIy attacking Col Johnson's posi- ton ii the t@o late sessions of Congress. h d very sneeying manner he alluded b the Colonel being tAe nominee of party. and congratulated himself that was nominated by no party. but that he had come out independently and upon hts own @ personai eurps' 10 ssre Ar tiliga,
 He then prodaeed the :" Compromise Bilg, ri is orgnal ''0maibas form, aud in most beaaii-~ tal and Iadlerous manner showed tu the audience is various limbs end o,uts, its heads and It's tails, together with its whole anatomical formation from stem 10 siefn." It was he sad the handlwork of a certain gentleman Uy he name of Hr He,g7g Chy, and another by the name of .Hr Ee,gs Cass and perhaps thrd by the name of Daniel Web steg had also a liager in the ple." Upon the whole the gallant Captain considered the Com. promse" very objectionable "cayalintr

 AgeT Capt Preston Lad coaciad9d C0J. John soa arose. and very caa, classic 4n3 effective nasnnes proceeded lo answer every material part 0f ths Cap,ains elaborate speech. True he sad he had opposed the compromise ball, for he regarded n a surrender of Southern nights to Northern fan atheism. He had opposed eaaA and every measure !; contained with the exception of the iugiuye slave law, and he had voted for that. This he showed had been thc e0aHe he had puHged. lie Lad done 80 oeoascteBsoiousiy andiof rsasoas which be related to the people, supported by arguments which ihe gallant Captain, the ''Arssnsas Wkjg'' and all otLer kindred spsr,ts can never answer or refute. He pCoyed uneRWyocally what Inc people generally believed before. that he was 20 dlsss'ef.lsti out that ae a true and patriotic frl@ad of il.e soayh. genuine democrat, and an honest man.
 Thus Col Johnson stands uamphantly ssoge all aspersi9a, aud hisher n tAe estimation oi the people Of ihs county lhan eter before While the false aleg Atoas oi the defaaes wAlg party must iail Cor uyet beneath public indignation
