WHIG CANDoR!-In q recent number, our neigh bor of the Gazette published what purported to be letter from gentleman at Batesville, Ark, to the Louisville Journal making a very good showing for the Wings, their candidates and prospects in this State A friend has handed us Journal containing the wdole letter. with it's postscript; by comparing which with the publication in the Gazette, We find our neghbor has suppressed the only portions which told the Truth. The ridiculous stuff which makes Dr. Gibson, Davy Walker, A. ". Arlington, &e., to be great men, eloquent orators See., is paraded out 'admirable hit off, while every sensible man is dsgusted with it's prepos4erous extravaganza, which the writer would be ashamed to publish over lis own signature, But when our neg hbor reaches that portion of the letter which tells us what is well understood here to be the true prospect of Whiggery in Arkansas-that the State can't be carried for Clay Lit is cut short, and the i,7ath omitted So with the postscript which tells truly the fate of Byrd and 1alley. Why these omissions? Did the Gazette fear to discourage these pratical rotges of the Clay Club who have been employed by the Wbgs to sow divisions in the Democratic ranks3 We copy the conclusion and postscript of this letter, which so pleased the Gazette, to supply the omission:
 - do not hink ace shaH carry tte Stale for Clay, but honestly and sincerely state that our chances arc by no means desperate If the discussion of the great principles which divide the two parties result as believe 1t will, we shall carry the State. ' ours.
 P. s. 1 should have mentioned that there are two independent candidates in the field, both of the Democratic stripe, Gen. Byrd for Governor, and Leacis B, Ihlley for Con gress; they are perfectly haTmless, and 500 votes will about cover their strength
 How do you like this neighbor? An admirable hit of" isn't it?

SouTuERNERs READ?-We have had occasion to speak of the National Inelligencer as being anti -4merieaa in feeling, and under British influence We find that we are not alone in the opinion thus expressed. The New Orleans Bulletin, the leading Whig paper in the South, holds it in the same esti nation, and thus speaks oft:
 ''Ne find the following sentences, quoted, with apparent approbation, in the .Nationat HteiHgencer of the lst inst. We believe the extract to be d true index 10 the feelings of that anti-Amerlcan print. We ask the at tention of Southern people 10 the last words, which are key to the whole:
 "Fhe people will never submit to so fla grant an outrage, las the annexation of Texas and whenever put before ttc North in a tan gible shape, all parties will show the Presi- dent. the Cabinet, and the Senate, if they dare to act tavorably upon its reception, that the people govern in this country yet that their interests are not 10 be bartered away without their consent to subserye the purposes of sup pie demagogues, time-serying politicians, and the DESPlCABLE SLAVE INTEREST 3
 And yet this National Intelgencer is the great central organ of the Whg pa,iy and the metroroli- tan mouth-piece of Henry Clay! Will the people of the South recognize such organ or follow such leader?
 CouHTERFEITs.--FromM Mir. J. NJ. Ross, Clerk of Newton county, we have received letter. dated the 10th instant, from which we make the following extracts
 I'I enclose you five dollar bill on the State Bank of Indiana. which is said to be a counterfeit. l have received upwards of one hundred dollars of it from stranger, to whom sold horse, and, finding there is great deal of 1t in circulation, this is sent, that you may publish description of 1t, and put the people of other sections of the State on their guard.n
 The note alluded to by MT. Ross, is undoubtedly counterfeit, and bears the marks of very base one.
 The engraving is well done, but lighter than the genuine note, and the name of the President, s. Merrill, upon examination, will be found engraved.
 To any one accustomed to look closely at Bank paper, detection will be easy It is payable at the branch at vincennes, to CT Nash" and dated 0e tober T. ls42

CLAY IN IHE snrrn

Will the Wings in the South, who are in favor of immediate annexation still support lIr Chg, now that he opposes their fayorite measure? Unless they violate every consideration of consistency, trample patriotism under fool and go for men, and not for measures, they must abandon Henry Cioy What will the New Orleans Bulletin do Hitherto it has been the leading Whig organ. in the South and MT, Clay's ablest advocate. But it has, aso been the leading advocate of immediate annexation It has now to decide between Rome and Casar-be- tween the good of it's country and the fortunes of its political leader We greatly mistake the char acter of the Bulletin, for patriotism and n4epan- dence, if it do not, at once, repUdiate Mir Cay.- How can it do otherwise In a recent number, it secuted, incredible, the rumors of his opposition to annexation Interference to such runor, il says
 Notwithstanding however, this high au- thonty for the reports referred to, we do not believe them It would be contrary to the tenor of Mir. CLAY's whole life, not to give his cordial appreciation and aid 10 any honor able effort made To recover the territorial boundaries for the integrity of which he so nobly contended''
 Again; in al1adins to those narrow minded poli- ticians who make self and party paramount to the public good, the Bulletin thus defends Mir Clay against the imPutaton of being influenced by any such considerations:
 '.lf we have not placed wrong estimate upon the magnanimity of Mir CLAY's dispo sition, he is not possessed of the paltry am bition and the still more paltry jealousies that seem to al1lict no small number of his lip- service partizans. How can he, then, be op- posed to the favorable arrangements now in the power of the country, for the restoration of the territory which he contended in the Hall of Representatives was ouf rightlul pro- perty, and which, as member of the Cabinet, he did his utmost to regain
 Again: 10 shew that immediate annexation is just what Mr. Clay sought after, even under less favor able circumstances in 1925 and in 1927, we find the following:
 What are the present negotiations but the consummation, under more propitious cir cumstances than he could command, of his own jealous and patriotic efforts"
 Tn conclusion, the Bulletin says:
 "We are greatly mistaken in his character if i'll the present national question he be not true to his former pIinciples.o
 And yet, in the face of all this, Mir. Clay comes out in direct opposition to annexation! And thus, according to the Bulletin he has gone "conrarY to the tenor of his whole fs;" falsfed the high aest- mate upon his magnanlmity," which his friends had indulged; manifested s.pary ambition, and still paltry jealousies , and proven himself untrue ito his former principleso Can the Bulletin sup port him after all ths Can any man support him, who loves his country better than a selfish partizan leader
