I
ment, met the people at Fort Smith, where he
delivered an interesting and excellent speech.
Ills efforts, and hits upon 'his worthy competi-
tor" were, weEtimed and happy. He avowed
hlmselfa Republican,; that he had always been
one; that the Wings were Federusts and support.
ed federal Institutions and measures. He gave
us short history Of Banks; their authors, and
happily explained the way in which their mana.
gers gulied tho people out Of their hard.earned


money, by raising the prices Of property, and at
the proper time letting them down agaln. leaving
the PEOPLE the only sufferers. Mr.. Clay also came


IN for slight review. The tariff was explained


he was in favor af a Democratic Tariff for reve-
! nue., TO support the Government and that an econ.
omHai one; he met all the leading Wing meas.
ures, and exposed the evils of each. He avowed
openly that he would never vote for any man as
President who was not fully in favor of the an.
nexaton OF Texas, desiring Mr.. Walker to come
out equally bold. He, however, lodged the ques.
'on, by saying he was in favor OF annexation q,
the proper time, whom the dignity Of the Ameri.
can government should not be compounded, and
that he would dnot make hobby of the question.


Afraid of it, ehs Dare not come out opposed
oit for fear of the people-dare not favor it for
! fear Of Mr., Clay. e


Gov. Yell pledged himself to do all that the
good Of the country required, if he was elected,
SO far as ho able. The frontier defence should
be fully attended to, he would endcavor to have
Fort Smith finished, and the whole frontier put in
condition to repel any attack. Ee would aso
exert himself 10 procure the construction Of a
! Great National road from this frontier to the Ar
senal at Little Rock, so that arms could readily bo
got upon every emergency; and would leave no
measure untred to cause new District Court
to bo formed, the seat of which would properly
belong to Van Buren, the county seat and con-
cuded by declaring he would, as he had always
strove to do, represent the interests of his people
faithfully and energe,icalIy. Gov. Yell is dec-
dedIy the best canvassng speakerin the State.


Mr.. Walker followed: He commenced by
saying he came there not to amuse but to instruct,
not 10 paly with the people but to present facts.
And ho presented them with vengence. Here
and there picking them up to prop the poor and
anG hobby defences the Wings make ogains. the
truthful charges that they the old Federal
Party. He went on to show that he was no,
Federalist, there were no such persons, he be.
heved. He opened his books TO show the people
that the Republicans voted for federal measures

the War-President--were in favor of tho United

OF the bank of the United States, that child O
Hamilton, and the darling scheme of the Fede raj


lists, as now of the Wings. The Federalists, he
} said, voted against the Bank, therefore it was
republican measure. Fine reasoning that. WHY


"i" tiiC ious, Hot VOte! because The bill was no

wholly federal measure, but one only tolerated

against that Bank. For the same reason that Mr.
Clay opposed Tyler's "Exchequor;" Clay woul
