FAYETTEVILLE, Dec. 81, 1913.
| Messrs. Ediors:-This country seems fated to
experience incessant excitement. No sooner is
ono cause removed than another more arousing
occurs, and thus we alternate from one extreme
to another, like the rising and falling of sea
| from tide to tide. A week ago, and nothing was
talked of but the case of tho Stars, and the now
discoveries, supposed discoveries in relation to
the great Cane-III tragedy. LynchHe and Anti
Lynchite were looking " unuttcrable' things at
each other. But the ns,rs of the late Democratic
nominations. by the Convention at Little Rock
laid all that still. Both great parties seem abso-
lutely ns,ounded with this latter piece of informa-
lion. The Wings thrilled with joy not un-
mingled with Indignation, the Democrats with
disgust and dismay tinged with feeling approx
mating to horror itself Tho Wings, (ks how
ever is mere guess, as the Yankee says, though
based on a toIcrabIy certain combination OF Cir
cumstances,) have determined to bring out Davy
Walker against the great Fiddler Of Batcsviiie.
They sav that Chapman is an excellent man, q
perfect gentleman; but that they know of no PC
cular powers, which will roll him along swift
career Of political popularity save his incorn ra.

But these Wings, maiicious'y, perhaps, aver,

Chapman would strike up, in responsive tones Of
sinking bass, Bona artos Retreat, and slope of in
a straight line, which Geometricians affirm, and
deny, to be tie shortest distance between any two
points. Though frankly confess suci. to be the
truth in reference to retreat.
Chapman might have been successful, possibly
but for that ir.rcdccmaJle mortgage, a hnlf-shee
of the same ream, that has been so much dam.
aged by late tcmpests, that have swept tho poli.i
cal air, and the last scrap Of which, hardly large
enough for a schooboy' 8 thumb-papcr, has served
for noble Judges commission. Any estate mus

no, endure it. The very Democrats. in this sec
ton, will sooner vote for Walker than bow the
knoe to tho family, and yield up their rights &c
tho South.
No person is spoken of, in the Wing ranks, here
as candidate for Congress, but Davy Walker
Tie cry began on that track; it is now in full
chorus; and the Clay clubs will earth their game
or get many ducking in tho clay'hales.
