LITTLE Rock November g. lsls
Dear Sir The political cauldron !. ..,
bubbliDg and Kissing. The commo,ion :. IL
strong, and in every way Indicative or ,l" DDa
state of feeling, such as was never before o- ~S4
rienced here. But it is all boiling ana bobs,,.p
one point-the election of Borland and o,,l ."
High as my expectations were in reparl 70 -
suit, upon my arrival here found the lido
10 the desired point, n more opid raj. ,r,,.S
most enthusiastic expectations led me 20 hon, =
This city is crowded with persons from ,n .,
Of the 5tate-the streets aro filled with car5.i.,'
of every grade; and such " "hunchinu and -,
Cling" never were witnessed here before b,,,
and lappeIs stand no chance. suppose. al,bo,.I
some twenty were disposed Of to-day. by O.
ing from that number the clerks and doorEo.o..,
there are yet on hand about a hundred, for ,c,.,-
TO ill nineteen Offices.
But the great excitement of tho occaso, 18Th,
Senatorial election. Deep schemes and nccr.
laid " dead falls" have been set to circumyo,,,.
people, but all in vain. Politicians are "sor,p
in their games against politicians; but wlen fl,
people turn out TO accomplish good end. ,5.v
never fail. In this instance The smaries iD,r,,.,
have heen threatened by their " nero accdes,.n
and their bcs, laid schemes have not only been 50.
at naught. but they have reacted sadly or,,,
| their cause.
The worst move made by the family was be.
attempt to rorce Major Boraad into diff,u,v
and although they had the malicious graafc,,i,,
of seeing Borland posted in the Banner 10 ,or.
ard, they were chagrined and disappointed allbs.
| failure to make any one believe IT, No one bs.
Iieves Borland to be a coward-ir refusing 70 fss
a duel is evidence that man is a coward of,.
one must be proof, under tho same rules. hs, h.
is brave. Therefore Borland is no couari. .g,l. |
that rule. His military conduct in Mexc, a
proved his personal courage, if there was a ,s
dow of doubt before. Nearly every person b.
Ieves that Fournoy was no: aclua,si 5y aiyrs,
sonaI ill-will he feIt towards Borland; and he
regarded here, generally, as 4 high.mndci, h...
rabIo and generous man.
