 Mrssrssrrrl RwsR, 2Jth June, ISIS. Dear Rearlon- tt
 am thus tsr on my way to the east, steaming it up the ''Father of waters snail no, return before the eIseion-- this, however, do not regret, as Union county has plenty of democratic votes to spare.
 Woodruff, see, IS al his old tricks. mannfactar7 ing public sentiment letters He speaks of the over whe ming popularity of Borlaud in the South, and says he will get the entire vote over all others. There could not be mofe truthiess misrerresen- taiIon. Against Sevier, Borland has 10 strength, and Woodruff and all his stkers cannot change the public sentiment on this subject SeYier has permanent strength which canno, be shaken by the yindlcfivs assaults of the old dsoTganizer. It is much to be regretted that you ever, although inns pfiedly, buried the tomshswk and recognised Wood ruff as co-iaborer in the cause Of democracy For. depend upon ii, our party will never enjoy harmony and union while he is admitted into the temple as an officiating priest. He can never forgive the de- inocra'ic party for refusing 10 expange his defa!cG tion. every word he uters in behalf is extorted from his calculating hypocrisy.
 A democratic editor and gentleman even should he differ from portion of his political brethren in the choice of men, would conduct the controversy in spirit of deeency and fair desliog. Not 50, however, with tbis '.Aesi0r of the press" and We find him yielding his corrupt columns 10 every hire ling and adveniurer who may choos to disparage and defAme the best men of party. As BoIland once told Weller, you should acquire him to
 "Dof the lions hide and show bis recreant liubs."
 By the way, much curiosity is manifested here to know upon what basis of negotiation the hostIities between Woodruff and Boriand have been adjusted. You recolleet Inc bitter denunciation the old man anxonslY poured out against the Doctor, and the base motives he attributed 10 him about the time The organization of the Arkansas Regiment for Mexico. These differences have been settled. The treaty of compromise would be Interesting doeu- ment, and ihoagh il may not provide 'IndsmHity for he PGs' doubtless, ample provision is msde for the "seeu'ay cyf ths Jatare.''
