Bear It in mind tha; our noble and distin-
guished "IARRY OF TIE WEsr. was once
the humble ''MrLL Boy OF THE SLAsmes,"

Bear it in mind ihat James X. Polk was
born WITH silver spoon in his mouth, y
that he had, in-his youth. all The advania-

is true, Is calculated to throw cloud over the hope
we have long cherished that Arkansas would give
her voefo Henry clgy. but that hope isnot utterly
obscured. The Influences which to "A good degree
cont: :rbatcd 10 our recent defeat, no longer be
brorgit 30 bear, and the hope is not yet ex-
ling1iishcd within rs, HAT wien the people come
to vote directly upon The main questions at issue,
untraminelcd by private friendships, and personal
predictions they w.ll 20 for wing measures, and
render justice to one who has ever proved their
best friend in times of the greatest cmergcncy.
The vote of Arkansas, to be sure, = no: much,

Henry Clay, would be honorable to her il

bered her recent eiIosi, aud stand forth in the

We know that there is no county in the State
which possesses more intelligence or true patriotism
than Hemps.ead-none more resolved to do what
she believes the welfare of the whole country
demands We believe that the PToPrety and
Justice of the treasures advocated by the whigs
have made deep impression upon the miaas OF

ences, and presented fairly and fully before them,
they Will declare the depth Of that impression, in a
voice not to be mistaken, at the biiot-box.

SOMETHING TO BE REMEM-
BERED.

Remember as you go 10 the Poils that the
measures now advocated by The Wings are
the very same which those who fought and
iriumphed in the cause of Freedom deemed
Democratic, and necessary to the ProspeEi-
ty of a free aud enlightened people.
Remember that HENRY CLAY, nov al
vocates the same measures which he did
when he was She Acknowledged leader of
the democratic party.
Remember that Henry Clay was first de-
nounced as no democrat when he refused 70
sanction every thing done by Gen. jackson,
and to Weld his right of Independent thought
and action to The rash dic;a'ion ri 2 Military
chicf;an.
Remember that James K. Polk was con
sidcrcd a good democrat only because he
sung out, "coming SIR" TO every call ol' Old
Hickory's, and hitched on his Gathering
tumb,c-cart to the car of his Military glory.
Remember that men are liable ~ bc cor
rupted by long exercise of power, and that
in free government the iinpunity which
springs from a too-long continued and mis-
applied confidence, is the only thing to be
dreaded BY the friends of freedom.
Remember that Gen. Iackson's popular
iiy has caused the people to sanction things
which the spirit of true democracy would
never have required ofthem, and lhat James
X. Polk hopes to be elected President by
the endorsement of Gen. Jackson.
Remember that although endorsements
are well enough on Bills Of Exchange, il i
utterly degrading to think of thus transfer
ring one mans etP'iiation to another, and
making that valuable by such endorsement,
which before was worthless.

or from the Motives above mentioned,

constant Instructions to all bis Maiesty's
