The democrats Of the Hickory State have gone
into the contest for Governor with every assurance
of victory In Aaron V. Brown, their candidate,
they have an accomplished and glorious leader.
MIR. Foster is the whig candidate. The Jackson
Republican gives The following account of the
sparrng at that place between the candidates, 1t
contains good and keen VIII:


"The debate closed with a spirited display Of
spsrring in the way Of wit and evity, in which our
noble standard bearer fairly got the ascendency
even of the 81 immortal E ph )" and though much Of
the ph and force of their saffes will belosl In
imperfect sketch upon paper, we have thought that
rehearsal of them, even In an imperfec: form,
would not be unnteresti1g TO some Of our readers.


Mr.: Brown, being the last speaker, closed his
remarks by saying that his great object had been
To- convinte Mr.. Foster himself of the Of his
wav, and TO draw him back to his old republican
principles and he hoped he had not been altogeth-
er unsuccessful; yet If he had all that he could

After the shouts Of the multitude had subsidized,

Moses assembled the mount 10 receive the law of
God built golden calf and worshIpped II, and
that it was a fat calf (pointing to Mr.. Brown)


Mr, Brown TepIleQ Ctldt SuCu Was llS ldCI tuuF
Aaron did build golden calf, but that it was made
Of gold, whereas he (Mr. F. made his god of
Clay.


Mr. Foster here found himself in very dIsa-
greeabte situation in endeavoring to reply, amid
the deafening shouts and applause of the democra-
cY, which continued for considerable tfde, to the
great confusion of Mr.. Foster. After the applause
had subsidized, he replied that his Clay god was
formed in the image Of his Creator; that our Gre
alto, made Adam Of clay, and that it would have
been much better had Aaron made his golden calf
of clay.


Mr.. Brown answered that Mr., Fosters Clay
god like all other false gods, had been overturned


Here again shouts of applause were long
and enthusiastic; and supposing the sParring had
ended, Mr.. Brown observed 10 the audience, that
as he was stranger to them, he hoped they would
Give no importanck to their wit and leviIy, but
that they would go their homes and think seriously
anon the grave subjects they had heard debated.


Mr.. Foster unwilling TO leave the stand thus
optwilted. again arose, and said, his competitor
reminded him of a drunken preacher he once heard

monshed his congregation TO do as he said, not as
he dad.


All! said Mr.. Brown, looking Mr. Foster IN the
face YOU are for sermonZing: are you? win not
nretend to saw what kind of preacher you would
make but this much do know, that you would at
ford the best text for sermon know OF. With
sucha text the most ordinary minister might preach
an excellent sermon either for Texas or against
