OLD CRAWFORD IN THE FIELD.-It will be seen
by the proceedings of the Democratic Convention
held in this place last Saturday, that the demo-
cracy of this county presents an united front,
ready to meet all adversares whether from abroad
or 10 be found among midst. From the cha
racter of the convention held last Saturday, we
judge that little OR no apprehension need be felt
from treachery in our own ranks; therefore
none al all is to be feared from any other quarter
The democratic party, in no part of the State,
nor al at any time, presented more perfect
and unbrokcn front, than it does at this ;ime in
Crawford. The harmony and good feeling that
prevailed in the largest and most equally repre-
senied county convention, that probably was ever
held in the State, are earnests of the union and
canvass.
Our county is divided into eleven townships
entitled, according TO the magisteral basis, to
twenty-eigbt delegates. Eeight townships, send
ing twenty three delegates, attended. Big Creek,
Lees Creek and Bates were not represented.-t
High waters was the cause of the citizens of
the two first named from sending delegates; and
from, oil ,ya bava racalvad aCSuronraS Of ,,,r,,,
support of the nominees.
Crawford is in the field, with her quo:o, ready
to do her duty.
The BATEsvILLE EAGLE.-The first number Of
this paper come 70 hand last Thursday. 1t is well
executed, and presents a good appearance. The
publisher is WIm. T. Cochran, Esq. and it is edi-
ted by Col. c. F. II. Noland. Col. N. is a spicy
writer, and is well known to the public as the
&" Devils Fork" correspondent of the New York
Spirit Of the Times. The Eagle is whig clear
out and advocates Mr.. Clay's claims 20 the Presi-
dency, although it will support any nominee of the
Whg Convention.
Col. Ms ability as politician and fine talents
will render the Eagle an interesting paper. We
wish him success in " advancing the interests Of
North Arkansas.
0J-We publish, this week, the letter of Csssius
III. Clay, addressed TO the Hon. Henry Clay, in
compliance with desire of many of our readers
to it, and to crafty any peculiar penchant.
1t is the bitter personal TRADE of a5Olitionist
and frey fanatic, who, by his letter, stands con-
fessed as ungrateful friend, unprincipled ene-
my, an arrant abolitonist, and an inconsistent po-
li:ician. who now supports Gen. Taylor, known
Shareholder and supporter of that institution.
Has he deserted the black coIors of abolition or
has Gen. Taylor enlisted under Cassius Clay p
There has been one general disgust expressed
among wings and democrats who have seen it in
this place, and we deem il creditable TO our party
to state that we do not desire such weapons to
maintain our ascendency. Our principles if fair
Iy proPogated will ensure democratic rule.
A DISTINGUISHED DIsoRGANIzER.-Th Demo
cratic Convention of Kentucky, nominated the
Hon. Lynn Boyd for Governor, and appointed
central committee to fill the vacancy on the ticket
should he decline. lie did decline, and the com.
m:tiee announced the name of the Honorable
L. w. POWELL. Thereupon, Col. Richard NJ.
Johnson announced himself an Independent can
didate. Col. Johnson was member of the con-
vention, and had his name before it, but received
only meagre vote. His conduct is therefore,
indefensbe-he is arrant disorganiser. Bet
ter things were expected from one who has re-
ccived SO many evidences of the esteem from the
democratic party.
0@TThe ST. Louis Republican says that the
Wing members Of the Legislature Of New York
have expressed their preference for Henry Clay,
and adds that every whig State is for Clay and
that Taylor is dead. Well see by waiting.
CAPT. DANLEY.-A correspondent in the N. o.
Crescent, writes at the city of Mexico the 1Ith
April, and states that Capt. DanIey, of our Sate
