The following letter to the Editor, is from gentleman of high responsibility, resident in Lawrence cnltnfx.
T La wrenCe countY:
Laacrence county, July 6, 1881


 Dear Stf-By the last sGazette,n it would seem that the correspondents of the lcofthy Editor, had already taken into their hands the fate of tine election, and deciar- cd its result without waiting for the peo- pie at the polls to express their wishes on me snhlect. As this mighty Editor and is great host of correspondents seem to speak ey authority, is 1t not useless, is il hot PfesnRPtnolis, n the people or tie caHildates, any longer te canvass the pre- sent election! The high decree is passed. the issue of ttie election Is consummated. and the result declared, and wliy trouble ourselves longer about 1t!
 One would think on reading these vari- ous epIstles, that he was examining the decrees of Nero or Napoleon. to people wiro neither had tine right of thinking nor acting for themselves, but like slaves were compelled to swallow whatever was ad- mustered by their arbitrary masters, without daring to resist the dose trust, however, that there is yet redeeming spirit in the people, to repul this attempt to dictate to them and tn fnrestall their opinions: that they will yet come to the polls as freemen, and declare as they have right to do, who Shall rule over them. = Who made the mischieroas Editor of the
 
 ents, the keepers of the consciences of the people? Is if not visible from the numerous array of scribblcrs that they are acting in concert in pufing the,r idol, Col. Seyicrl Deluded and vain individuals, acting the part of tools and humble instruments, not so much to Col. Soyicr, as to tic degraded Woodruff.
 l too, could set down and elect a Dele gate, on paper, and show by figures, as fair result on the other side. I have long re- sided in the North, and mix ed much with the people since the commencement of this canvass, and could claim to know as much on this subject as some of the correspond ents for the Gazette. 1 will not insult the understanding of the people by attempting to transfer their votes, even if 1t were my right to do so, but will take the liberty of saying, that good spirit animates the feelings of the people of the North. such as she has always manifested n a good caase. Let not the friends of Col Desha, in other parts of the Territory, be discouraged by these northern blue iights. 0n the day of trial she will not be found deseriing the true interests of the Territory--she will be found rallying round the standard off Free trade and Sailors rights, ," her letter wri. ters to the contrary notwithstanding.

THE KILKENNY CATS.

Ne are really concerned to learn, that di6icuty. if not a bloody fight, is likely to take place between our very particular friends, Dr. Caleb $. M, and Maj. (we beg pardon JN.. William Nick. B -. The point at issue is this, the office of Register of the Land-ofliee at Hatesviile, has been promised to both of these worthies, tllat is, if they spread themselves ia the election for Delegate to Congress. Now, We arc of opinion, that this matter might be onaicably set tied. NJ told two respectable eiti- zens of Independence county, (sr1to arilf af aay nsooaeast sseeat. b tte fact,) that Col. seyier had promised him, if he would support him (sevier) efficiently and ae- lively in the present election, he would reasove Boswell, and procure for him (M-- the appointment of Register of the Batcsville Land-oflicc. Finding that this 61yiag-'10 systemwas likely to ope- rate injuriousiy to Col. Scvicr, Af- thought it prudent step to dcny (aItho' tean be proved that he sattt t 7vas) that tfe office was promised him. As M has denied that such was the fact, and there being atotal absence of proof, that B-- has waived his right and claim to Fit, we are decidedly of opinion, that NJ has t0rfeited all claims he may heretofore have had upon Col. seyier for the appointment, and that he is for ever bound to hold his peace, and that the aforesaid McB--, cl4;ms are par amount to all others, and are entitled 10 due consideration.

WAR-PESTILENCE-ANDFA FAMINE!
 Two weeks since, we left Buck Wood ruff, Gas we imagined on the field of battle, among the number of dead or wounded-but- in this, it appears, we were egregiously mistaken, he was only possunaing. In his last paper, he has shown evident signs of life, and fired raadon, shot or two at us, which we have received without much fiachine, and like prudent soldier, lost no time in brusllingup ourarmoar,a and preparing to meet tho cneny.. As mc had siienced his guns, (which were not of very heagy calibre,) we were disposed 10 believe that the war was at an cnd-but here again, as the Devil would have if, fPyin- ters Bevil we mean We reckoned with out our host, for Buck, becoming quite restless and dissatisfied at his iate dc- feat, felt all at once most desperately earniporo1ss, and in very unsoldierlikc manner, violated the solemn arnstice. and again opened his batteries upon us.

The following, is from a gentleman of worth, and entitled to much credit:

Helena. Phillips e aHfY, .Tnly 3.
 .Er. Eaifor--A friend has just handed me the Gazette of the 29lh ult., in which is paraded long string aeletters, calculated, :, and no doubt intended to inslead the pub- lie mind in regard to the ensuing election for Delegate to Congress. How far they may succeed in their designs elsewhere, 1 cannot pretend 10 know, but Of this much am certain, that tho citizens of Phillips and Monroe counties, are too intelligent to be gslled by so shallow an artiicc,
 he letter dated on board the Brandy wine, says Sevier's majority in this county wilt be twenty-five. He makes his calcu- lation with degree of precision that shall not pretend to; but as citizen of the county, l do profess to know something of the public sentiment, and in sincerity and truth do declare, that believe Col. De- sha's majority will be at least forty.
 In the letter written from this place, dated May %, it is stated, that C if c. had gone for Soser, he would have been badly beaten in this county" and it is pay ing but poor compliment either to the merits of bis friend Col. sevier, or ro the independence ofthe voters ofPhillips coun- fly. to say that our votes are either given for or against him. as 1t may please Mr. z tutiona right, and will vote for whom we please; Mr. .C- has ariglt, and will do the same. very writer of that letter, if mistake not, vas glad to get his sup port I9 months ago--but he was then in fa- vor of Col. Sevier.,'
 Fhe same writer. under date of June l2, says that out of g grand jurors, F were for Seyier; now as have bad neither opportunity nor inclination to pry into the secrets of grand jury, l will admit such a fact to have been possible--and what if true! does 1t prove any thing more nor less than that Col. Sevier gets F votes in Phil- lips county? His chance here would be slim indeed, if after all tic boasting of bis friends, he get but !? votes in county giy- ing 25O.
 Tn Monroe county, where Col. sevier has heretofore met with warm support l am crcditably informed, that he will not get l5 votes in the county. sec from tue Gazette, that the Colonel is coming over to bnrnbug us; he had as well stay at home, he has humbaged ns already long enough 10 our sorrow.
