Politica1.-Poli,ics in Crawford wax warmer
daily. Both parties appear enthusiastic. The
Wings are unanimous, and exult over the discord
in the Democratic ranks. The democrats are de-
termined TO let no small matter produce discord

feat tho Wings in Arkansas.

be settled upon as favorites.

would DO nominated again, but the democracy do
not like their wishes to DO condemned by one who
seeks political prefermcnt at their hands.

pleased with their candidates, and are determined
and will no doubt make COOL run with them.
