 LATELY old Johnson has been numer- Ously represented sy correspondents In the news papers. Sufficient to have thrown broad gieam of light upon the state of political excitement in this couaty-bnt unfortunately the light they have shed was not of the right kind, and oaly calculated to cast deeper shade over the truth In the premises. and make Johnson appear to other portions of the State In very different light, from that in which she really ought to appear.
 Isam opposed to any thing like misrepresentation and my rule Is, if object cannot be effected with out it-it is not worth effccting-bcssdcs it Is manly to try to effect 1t under such circumstances.
 It has been a~eeftsineA that correspondent of the Democrat, who dated his communication at Clarksville the day of our Barbecue, and signed himself "POPc," was really citizen of Crawford, and consequently but poorly calculated tO represent public sentiment here--wc hope the editor of the ln,eiligencer has not fallen into the same error In selecting correspondents for this county. Thoagh, in truth, unable to find any hero to yoach for the statements made in some of his recent com manications from this coanty. For instance cor respondent O. of the Intslligencer. represents that "it Is believed here that Drew will be pushed out for Congress instead of Johnson," when in fact no such snpPosition eiier exists here nor has existed, any acquainted with public sem iment here say t with any regard for truth, for in fact Gov. Drew was here long enough to make ali enquirng persons acquainted with his views on the subject-and convinced all who took the trouble to enquire that he was not to be pushed out for Con- gress this time-nether do the citizens here expect, wish or fear such supposed calamity, if calamity they will havc it. Gov. Drew is deserwedly popu- lar here, and the reputation he has gained among this people cannot be shaken by such insinuatons.
 have heard many of the citizens here express themselves. and find that the universal sentiment is clearly in favor of Bob Johshon as 1t was when he was elected to the olfice-the people here are, up to this time, perfectly satisfied with his move ments-and wish him reelected to the office he now hclds-they have other fayorite whom they wish to push into the office to which they have elected him.
 In short, Mir. Editor, the same reasons actuate the citizens of this county in wishing to re-elect Nr. Johnson, that induced them previously in the last election to support him. They do not wish to turn him out of the office, until they have first as- sertained what he can do for them in it-and they think that after representing them term In Con- gress, he will be better qualified to fill the succeed ing term than any one elseat all events far as can learn the citizens of this county fully disposed to try Mir. Johnson another term, in preference to any of the other aspirants that are before them.
 Wilson and Judge Oldham have submitted their claims to Washington county, (so learn.) The Judge has sustained himself, on the Supreme Bench ia manner very satisfactory te his friends and if he docs himself justice he will remain there for the present. Mir. Wilson is young man of promise, but there is time enough for him yet in Arkansas.
 Thornton, is the only man spoken of here now for Governor, and will probably ge, the vote of the county convention without opposition. When our county meeting will be held here, cannot tell.- But all think it necessary to have convention and told Johnson'' Is willing to go into any measures for the union of our party and the success of our principles JOHNSON.
