Co., Reardoa:
 Dear Sn-TO-dsy was the time set apart for meeting of the democratic citizens of this (Crawford} county, to be holden at Van Baren, for the purpose of appointing delegates to attend the State Convention, al Little Rock, on the first Mon day in January next There were, however, but few present, and the meeting =.''"urned, to mec, three weeks from this date; at hich time, ii is hoped, will have a ful meeting. The failure, on this occasion, appears to be attributed, by here. who ever seeking scape-gosts for their sins, to desire on the part of those, who will not saecomb to their dictation to disorganize; but this s but another hambug of their own fancy-;he real cause of the failure Of the meeting, con eeise, is this the majority of the peopl- of this county opposed 10 the wild. premature and un- just prescription now being waged against Hon. R. W. IoHSseS and knowing: that there is cer- tain Juata of saasA juggiers about Van Baren, who will eUery possible, prevent the dele gates from being instructed to go for Joaxsos they choose not 10 have any hand in the matter. Hence the failure; but hope next trial may have a fall nee,ing of the people from ,hs county and if delegates will b. instructed to suppoxt JonS- SON as the next nominee for Congress. The a3ea oi his being bitterly Prose rtbed by the Ashley '.y- nasty" at Little Rock, and the Egyptian Mummy of western humbuggcyy, sufficient evidence to the pesqae that he is a worthy man.
 By the by, the idea of such ex-ofice holders a. the editor of the Ds'aOerat, trying to cry down DREW, on the score of ineficiency to serve the State to sdeaata3e. is considered here ss ricA,

DIsORGANIzATION.

Every effort has been rsmsis by sAs edissr sf tho Democrat, to throw confa-ion into our ranks with regard to the nsee,iBg in PalasA eeaasy, whieh t wss suggested by 'lnany ,leacerats sloaId be held to-day. 4 notice to tss elect syPeaFed in ear Pa- per eG the 2Dsh ef September. aad was rePestrd--- No one oh,~eted and the editor of the Democrat in hi. paper of the 3ith Sept, gave reluctant assni ts il in the following langsagc.
 "we do aot, however, wish to he considered as issisfing poaepeaing the time of meetiDg to la fer day ihan the tkiyd Noassy ia Oeteber- If this day is found Sc be satisfactory to the county, VIC shall certainly not object"
 He suggested 10 other time of meeting. and 1t w1s generally circulated throaghOu, the county, that this (the 6rst day Of the cireH, conrt) would 6r the proper day. aorling spPortnnisy to many, who would net be present at any other tinle to at- tend.
 In support of the first call Pablished last week. another from many inAacntia democrats, which was published by the Ashley organ And now forsoOth' he thinks that longer time shOaId be given than foar weeks (frOm the 2Dth SePt, tO the 18th oct) The truth is, that the editor of the Democrat, knowing the sentiments of the people of this eOua- ty well we do, is GesirOas aAsi 70 ze1siag ssuld ke Arld and would prefer perfect disorgani. zatioa tO the nominaaion Of men to whom Ashisy is opposed, and upea whase overthrow he has alnassa staked his political ezissence Beside thls proposal srss sPpearing in the Banaer, isafwsys sueient ts ebEalA fos t opposition fran the Ashley organ. We jas; believe that if wcse. P>rc hsRee, 10 publish the travels of St Paul or St. Patrick, the Democrat would next week ask as for prof las he generally does,) by the Commissioner of the General Land or. ce and, for the trath of sfaemeBt very likely reqaire the af 1avis of respeetae e-wfaesses.
 Whom the people Of this county desire for their candidates, Is yet unknown. we ~ia certainly bow to the will cf ihc majority but shall object, after the aotics sissn ih4i those. who may have come from distence to perform duty imperative upon every mIn of our party. sisoaH be humbuggei into the belief lh4 they misaSea in the ,ae of meet ing and that they mus, vail for the pronaaeaReniO o,he pemocta and not attend until they have notice by that paper of the proper day.

CONWAY County, OcG 10th, lc4I.
 MT. EditOr.-Seeing that letters of public seaii- ment filling up the columns of the democratic journals, presume you will object to hear from old Conway. For Congress, Judge Oldham in the beginning of the race, was perhaps ahead and much in advance of Bob Johnson, and Col Thornton was the fsvorits for governor Of ate the democracy learning Gov. Drew will accept nomination for Governor, matters changed with regard to the candidate for Governor materially. Gov. Drew has many warm friends ia this county, who would be glad to him become d candidate for reelection. The paper warfare by the D-mOcrst has united the names of Johnson and Drew, in such manner that there is probability of their both getting this ty, in the Statr Convention learn that there was choice made at meeting, and that our dele gates 5e instructed between this time and the meeting of the convention. do assure you that Bob Johnsons friends increase daily the people are get ting awake in earnest Et truly looks like turning man out of office before we try him. Having persons from all parts of our county within the last few days, what have written is the senti- mens ef the democracy of old Conway.
