 THE PROSPECTS BEFORE US.
 We take pleasure in announcing to our friends, that the prospects of Col. DEsHAs election, arc as flattcring as his most sanguine supporters have everan- ticipated. We have heard recently from every part of the Territory, and the accounts received, leave no doubt of the success of the FARMER, and the FARMERS Candidate.
 We would caution our friends against the impositions attempted to be played off on the People, by the Gazette, and it's letter writers. We look upon these hireling buffers as the last resort of m EXPIRING FACTION, endcavoring 70 sus- fain itself and its misdeeds against the incensed wrath of an injured and insult- cd People. Many of these communi- cations, we have no doubt, are coined in this town, and most of them arc from lawyers and office hunters, some doubt less, from honest, but deluded citizens. Some of tiiesespufiers, to CUT knowledge.
 
 have been sent out, and are now kept, in the diStant'counties, for the express pur- pose of bragging and boasting Col. Sc vier into Congress. Such tricks will not succeed. Col. Desha lives by plant ing Corn and Cotton, and those who fol- low the same occupation, will never be found to desert themselves and iIieis owninterests.
 For tho purpose of correcting the numerous false and injurious reports, set alloat by the Gazette, and others on the side of Col. Seyier, we will take the liberty of stating below, what is the re. suit of our calculation on the approach ing election. Our information is doriv- ed from distant correspondents-from persons daily arriving here, from differ ent parts Of the Territory, many oi whom are strangers, who know neither Desha nersevier, ,nor having any biased feelings ron the subject, but are mere |-lookersson in Denmark: | the six counties on the Missis- votes sippi, we give Desha majority of 290 l In the four northern counties, we give him majority of 200 In isfferson and Pulaski counties, VIC give him a majority of 90 Making amajority for Desha, of 5i0 In Conway, Pope, Crawford, and l Washington counties ,Dcsha's friends claim, with confidence, majority; l but wishing 10 put our calculations

 ing in all the counties;) but not to

 TY VOTES. 29u l frsr The above information has been ob- ttained from moderate SEVER MEN, as well as from other sources, on which the most implicit confidence can be placed. It was not our wish to intrude our calculations on the public, we would prefer leaving tho ballot boxes to tell the result, but the course pursued by Col. Seyier's friends has forced us out. No enc can tell with moral certainty, the exact result of any future event, but we do assure oar readers, that our deliberate judgment is, that the above
