 MS Edifor; As the canvass progresses the people begin to think mora, and manifesto deeper in,crcst in tho result Of the election for President In thIs county particularly, arc the democracy becoming alive to their true interest, giving assurances that in November next. old Independence will establish her right to place in tho ranks of the democracy
 The result Of our State elections, (which was contest fairly aPoa principlel has given assurance to tho democracy. thatte secure permanent maOri- ty ia this county. 1t is only necessary, thai esch membes of our party should be at the electIOn.-- This feel assured will bs the case Ia this section ef,the county.
 But, as much interest as this subject k exciting it is not the only one in which the people feel deep, and an abiding sclicitade. The election of United States Senators bF the next Legislature is subject with our people cf equal, if not, of para mount consideration to all others differing from all that can learn from our friends ia other sections of tho State in this whilst BoFland and Sevier seem alone to be talked of in some places, we hear but little of them, or the station te which they arc aspiring resulting doubtless from the fact that there is but ll,tie difference of opinion existing In the minds of the people, as to who should be selected to fill that station.
 For some timc passed it was expected, and desired by all, that Col Sevier and Major Borland would place the whole matter in the hands of the demoera tic party; and in that event feeling assured, that both of these gentlemen would be elected to the Senate, the people seemed to think or feel but little about the election, and nothing comparatively was said about who should fIl the vacancy accustomed by the death of Col. Ashley. But it seems that the friends of these two geatlemeH inclined to bring them in cosfiict. Thereby rendering it necessary, that we should look around for the most suitable individual to fl the second vacancy.
 Whilst hear nothing urged against the many who are already before the people for this station, there appears to be strongly manifested dlsincii- nation towards either of them, and constent look ing out for one who would in their opinion fill the station with more credit to himself and use faln ess to his country, and party.
 l think may say the minds of the people are all tending in one direction, and iast centerng upon oue indiv idusl. and that Indydual Is present, gifted, and much beloved Chief Magistrate, THos $. DRKw. When the name of this distinguished gentleman was first spoken of in connection with the Senatorial election, there but sentiment the minds of the great mass of the people All would prefer his promotion to the vacancy of Col Ashley over any other man living. There are nono who do not love him as a man, and admire him for his supcrio mind, and profound knowledge of the great principles upon whirh institutions founded All who know Gov. Drew, are aware that his mind is peculiarly organized for inc discussion. and investigation of great constitutional, and other questions, and principles, which wo oud most nat,I- rally arise in the Senate of the United States, thereby permanently fitting him to render efficient, and distinguished services in that station.
 am not that there are those who will with apparent sincerity exeIaim why, Gov. Drew has just been elected to the office of Governor for the next four years, and therefore should this time aspire 10 seat n tue Senate. What docs tiis prove7 that because has without opposition been elected Governor of a State, thereferr, he is disqualified to serve his country in the Senate of the United States. hold the doctrine that the people entitled to tke best talents 10 serve them in high stations, and that they unjust to them selves and their country when they permit men of inferior ability to be elected, upon e imsy pretext, that their bes. men now doing the duties of u- ierior stations. Away with all such shaow pretcxt matched nP alone by inferior minds, who would crawl into high places without merit, without talent, without moral worth.
 Others say, Coy. Drew will not te a candidate for the Senate, and therefore it is unnecessary connect ing his name with the contest. To this answer Gov. Drew, have no doubt, will serve lho people of Arkansas in that capacity, and will offer Ob stnate resistance 10 the use of his Lame in that should his friends deem il wise to use it.
 hazard nothing in saying he is almost the unaui- mous choice of the north, aud believe the favorte of large majority of the democracy of this State
 Respectfully, ARKANSAS.
