LET fHE pRNurRlcY BEWARR!

With the spirit of Mexican xnerillas the :" Ashley Faction" at Little Rock, seem determinedto wseo war upon all Democrats uhc have dared to oppose their will and obey nstsuc lions of the people. They assume to know the wishes of the Democracy, ot a county better than the Democrats ct that county Patfi0lis Democrats who have had the tementy, by public meeting, to make known their sentiments express ihelr wishes aud give instructions to iher delegates; aod delegates who have had the hardi- hood so obey these instructions snd carry out the will Of the Democracy. must, IorsOoth, be wasred aPon by the Hon. Senator Ashley through his or- gan. "rhc Democrat" for not sabmatiSg 10 hts .ein. Alier this, let Democrats beware how they think, speak, or act among men. measures or p'in cirlcs, lest they should incur fine displeasure of tot Ashley, and find their Hames written m bis book of ofProscTptioa and their acts misreprescnted in his organ.
 In the last "Democrat' the spirit of disofganiza. lion, and hostility to ineinbets of ibe democratic party, are so apparent that the Hon. Senator Ash ley, must have bEeathed into it's columns some "misfakes" and nisrepsesentations.
 Among many absurd and reckless statements, with regard lo delegates of the Democratic State Convention, held in Little Rock. sih January, lSl6. when our taieNtsd and truly demOcrstie Repre- sentative, the Hon. Robert ". Johnson was nomi- n1ted for Congress, find the following in the last .Democrat:''

Doubtless, the citizens of Madison county wo0kl be highly graiifed 10 see the authority upon which Mir. Con- way acted as their proxy, Let gs have sight of the instrument. IL must be very queer document. Mir. Conway, 1t seems, nominated Coi. Ashley ioI Congress, and afler voting for him. then voted for K. w. Johnson, Can any explanation bc given bow the vote cf Madison could be thus triled with :' IT it be conceded that the Democrats of Madison county had right to hold public meeting and express their will, and give instructions to their delegates the following resolutions would seem to be sufficient explanation why the vote of that county was cast first, fore Ashley second, for Roane; third, for Judge Paschal and fourth, for ROb't W. Johnson: and fifth, sixth, and seventh, for John s. ROane; and lastly, for R. ". Johnson, who was nominated for Congress These were the votes of Gen. Conway, proxy of Madison county. and most faithfully did he comply with his instructions
 Although the contest was chiefly between the Hon. R. W. Johnson and Hon Wm. Conway R., who is hrOther of E. N. Conway, so faithfully dil Gen. Conway comply with his instructions, that he would not vote for his brother, because he was not named in those instructions.
 It must be apparent, therefore, that the leading democrats of every county, which did not support the choice of the Democrat for the Senate will be assailed and their motives impuyned. We hope tho Democracy of Madison will properly ap- preciate this attack of our ncighbor
