Scorr CouNrY.--DeIegates instructed to for
Drew and Johnson.
0I-It will be seen that in five counties the de-
mocrats have held county meetings and appointed
delegates to attend the State Convention. And as
we said, in former number would be the case,
all those counties that were favorable to the election
of Col. Johnson-have declared their preferences
and instructed their delegates to vote for him. In
Saline, Scott and Perry, such has been the case.
In Green and Conocoy, where the people are known
to be opposed to the nomination of that gentleman,
the public voice has been stifed, by the manage
ment and wire working of the instruments of the
clique" There. the oy-tongued gentry said,
no doubt, let US have no decaration," and the
confding people responded, well. But those peo-
pie must see how they are trifed with and iuggled
out of their rights, when they learn that all those
coanties that have expressed themselves, and
are in favor of Col. Johnson, have declared their
sentiments and instructed their delegates 10 vote
accordingly.
Can they not see in this the finger print of the
"clque!' lfthe people do not come out and declare
themselves and instruct their delegates, they will
be cheated out of their rights, by a mere minority
"a set of designing smooth-faced ma nagers.
CONWAY COUNTY The democrats of this coun-
ty held meeting on the 9th inst, and appointed
delegates to attend the State Convention. And
although, the party in that county prefer Judge
Oldham as the nominee for Congress, we ire much
afraid that he will be iuggIed out of their choice.
They have failed to instruct their delegates, and
the meeting Of the Convention. Why was this
important duty put Off We can see no other
reason than to allow time to the I" clique' to pack
the county and give instructions TO the delegates
to vote for Johnson. We hope the people will
keep their eyes skinned when the tools of the
clique about.
Wool CARDING MAcHINEs.-We are happy to
Ill i Oh
than one Wool Carding Machine in our broad
Stale. We know of seven in three adjoining
counties. The following named gentlemen have
each one :-Messrs. Mark Bean, It. X. Kidd, A.
Crouch and Mr.. Chambers, in Washington coun-
ty; Benz. Person, IN Benton, and Messrs Whit
field Bourne and John M. James in Cravford.
We are also of opinion that there are several
others in the counties North of us.
Col. Bean has, attached to his tabIishmeut. a
machine for spinning Cotton Yarns, which he
keeps in constant operation. We can add our
assurances to those of &" A Farmer" in the Ga
zette, that from the experience of our friends en-
gagged IN these enterprises, nothing will 'pay better
interest on the outlay required for the erection
of an establishment Of this kind.
AMONG THE lNDIANS.-Iho Saint

siderable excitement exists among the Sac and
Fox Indians. because of the treatment which thew
