Letter from Senator II. j. Heard.

| ST. MARr1NsvILLE, Sept 10, 1857.
EDITORS OF THE Gentlemen: My atten-
tion has Just been called to letter published in the
Shreveport (Caddo) Gazette, dated Plaquemine Aug
ust 9Th, and bearing the signature of the Hon. E. W.
Robertson in which l am represented as having said
that was going with the Democracy in the present
canvass Mr. Robertson is gentleman for whom l
entertain very high respect, and feel assured that
he is incapable of intentionally disappearing any
one but he is certainly laboring under misappre
hension when he says that told him was with the
Democracy. Whatever opinion may have expressed
as to the result of the canvass, or the respective
merits of the two parties, did not intend to convey
the idea, nor did I say that it was my intention to
vote the Democratic ticket Mr.. Robertson may have
drawn the inference, and no doubt did, that such was
my Intention from the tenor of my remarks but the
conclusion was an erroneous one, for had resolved
as soon as the nominations were announced, to sup
port the candidates of the American party for Auditor
Treasurer, and Congress in the Second District from
personal considerations and other reasons, and shall
certainly do so if live.
Respectfully. your obet servant, II. j. HEARD.

ALEXANDRIA, August l7th, 1857.
Nix. P. ALEyAspER-Sir In your paper of the Sth inst
you do great injustice (no DOUBT unpenona) when
that admitted that the people Ten Mile had African
blood in their veins. certainly such admission
but maintained that the charge uufoun1ed and malicious.
ion will have doubt, sir correct this feel
Yours respectfully R. A. HUNTER.
In justice to Col. Hunter, we have deemed it our
duty to lay before our readers his communication to
the editor of the Madison American. Whether he
made the admission we attributed to him or not, his
letter amounts to disclaimer.
[Richmond madison parish) American, 9TH inst.
Notwithstanding the ungentemanly manner in
which Col. Hunter referred to the Crescent in his
recently published card, we present the above to our
readers act of justice to ourselves, well to
him. We hold to the principle of giving " the Devil
his due" no matter how black he may be painted.
Hunters disclaimer, Or explanation, or contradic
ton, amounts to nothing when contrasted with the
sworn testimony that has appeared in these columns
on two several occasions, demonstrating that the
"people on TenMile " haze African blood in their
VEINS, and that Hunter has championed and pro-
ected them in voting for the last three yearsthereby
justly earning for himself the title of Ajax of free
negro suffrage in Louisiana.
There is rumor aloat, we know not how well Or
illfounded that the free negroes of the parish of
Orleans about to memorabilia Col Hunter to exert
his good offices in their behalf They are, certainly
entitled to equal privileges with their brethren of
Rapides.

good, paternal advice which they have given, should
be well received by the honest voters of the rural
districts.
Your correspondent could swell this to an almost
indefinite length in exposing the venality OF our
State government We could show how regardless
all the great officers have been of the interests of the
State; how thousands have been paid out OF the
Treasury without any authority of law; how our
Governors are assuming to be, as Louis XIV did, The
State, and assuming powers not delegated them by
the laws. s

The MOTHER MoULDS TIE MAN.-Ihat 1t Is inc
mother who monlds the man, is sentiment illus
trated by the following recorded observation of
shrewd writer:
"When lived among the Choctaw Indians l held
a consultation with one of their chiefs respecting the
successive stages of their progress in the arts of civ
ized life. and among other things he informed me
that at their start, they fell into great mistake,
They only sent their boys to school. These boys
came home intelligent men, but they married unedu-
Gated and uncivzed wives, and the uniform result
was that the children all like their mothers.
Thus the father lost all his interest in both wife
and children. And now said he, if we could educate
but one class of our children, we should choose the
girls, for, when they become mothers they educate
their sons. This is the point, and it is true. No
nation can become fully enlightened when mothers
are not, in a good degree, qualified to discharge the
duties of the homework of education"
