PUBLIC SPEAKING. There will be o large
gathering of people at Houma, Terrebonne
parish, on Saturday next A splendid barbe-
cue will, we understand, be given.
The Hon. Theo. G.. Hunt and Col. William
ehristy, Of this city, will be among the speakers
We are net advised as to whether the people will
be addressed by other gentlemen.
Col. Hunt intends, we are informed, to vindi-
cate and sustain his vote and action on the
Nebraska bill Among the intelligent planters
of Terrebonne we apprehend he will find little
difficulty in so doing. His very able speech,
delivered pending the discussion in Congress, is
a complete vindieation in itself
Col. christy will take up the subject of Ameri-
oanism, and handle 1t in all its length and
breadth, as few but him are capable of doing.
His eSporianoe, naesnory. ability and rare facuI-
ties, enable him to discuss the question in most
excellent and efficient manner.
We hope to be favored with an early account
of this meeting We anticipate happy results
from it. Terrebonpe is all right now, but we
have no objection to her being made q little
