and if he did not behave would withdraw from
the Club; and would not write you a sentence on
the subject. tie soon came right, begged my par

told him if this should get out we would stand no
chance to elect Batson and Goodrich, and he knew
they were two as worthy men as the county af-
forded.
The Locos, he knew, were trying TO injure
Goodrich by saying that he was the partner the
notorious Sheldon Woster, and left here TO wind
up all The rascalites Of that firm. Woster, you
know, was the foulest man this county ever knew.
They say that Goodrich is as bad as Woster; but
hat its not the case, and if he were, that argues
nothing, SO he is a good Clay man, and of that
there is no doubt, and the strongest man in the
State on the Tariff, Pike excepted. Notwith-
standing all the objections to him, we intend to
run him on account Of his reasoning facultes;
he cannot make the people believe black horse
is white; but he can persuade them be is full of
grey hairs. and that you know is hard to beat
We are trying TO make this whig county, and
think we would have stood pretty good chance
if Old Archy had not passed through this diggins
and made speech. tell you what Bob don't
know what we will do if he visits all the Counties
unless we can convince the people that he has got
no larnlh. and that II will bea disgrace to the
state TO elect any man who is not a splendid
skolar. We cant get hold of Arch without get

measures, and he knew Archy could not count
interest. When | talk to them hard headed Lo-
cos about education, they laugh right in my face.
and say they don't think it necessary for man
to know all in the books to be a smart man, for
that Davy who does know all the books by hart,
and that he knows every figure in all the Arith-
metic's, and that his Bank report will prove that
iact and still he voted for all of Archy's meas
ures; they say these measures must have been
right, OR Davy would have put them down. You
know Bob, Davy is smart, or he never could have
forced himself to the head of the front rank, and
forced Fowler, Trapnal, Newton, Pike, and Tur.

and have no doubt Davy will live in marble,
and the aw stricken multudes will gaze th won

no mortal man will know that such being as the
author of the hymns to the Gods, or the assign

Dear Bob, if you know any thing against Ar

as soon as possible. q
We are going TO havea secret meeting here as
soon as the river falls that the Morrison's bluff
wings can get here. Our meeting will be after
the fashion of your Clay Club, we have written
to the "Great Emporium at Little Rock, to send
US one Of his "Hotch-potch'' constitutions, with
all the signers, and then we can organizs.
Sandy wants an old fashioned Clay Club, he
has been at several in the surrounding countess
and is greatly pleased, but Receiver Artillery
Miley Bright and myself think it best to have it all
secret. AS soon as our meeting is over will
give you the particulars. :;
lreman ever your friend
