GeH Geo. w. CidrEe,
DEAR SIR The big Electoral meeting come
off to-day Gen. Rome made good speech-he
laid it thick and heavy on the wings, and showed
:he path to be perfectly clear for 8 Cass and But
Ier.' oldham then came forward and, though
Unwell, made truly happy effort. He is beau
iful speaker, and has q superior c1nrdSS talent
he has indeed impressed US favorably. But the
richest part of the whole affair his repartoe 10
Maj Field. After Oldhams first speech, the Mai.
took the stand, and questioned, pretty strongly,
the claims of the West to Senator, and also took
ground against the Western branch of the Fede-
raj Court. This brought Oldham back again, and
the way the Federal Clerk was made TO feel the
strength of the ioke-was caution to the whole
Family. Now let tell you that Oldham is
strong at Little Rock and voice from the South
augurs well for the resalt in November.
At the close of the speeches to-day, PROPOSE
ton was made (by q friend of Borland, though
simply for the purpose named to organise de-
mocfatc meeting, according 10 previous suggestion
in the papers, and nominate candidates for the
IeGisialure but Jared Martin looked around and
thought the crowd was too BorIandsh he ina
gined there was something in tho white lump IN
the tub besides meal. In fact he saw clearly that
If the Senatorial question ResOIced upon, Oi3-
ham had pleased the people too well, to be passed
bv without a compliment. Martin opposed organ
isinG the meeting, and modesty in the other parts
let it pass.
see an attempt is making sono party 10 un-
fix Borland's position this is unfair. He declar-
ed himself candidate for the office he now holds,
and he will not run for any other he is the last
nan TO shift about. If there those who must
run, Borland and Sewer, as the two Senators,
Borland must be run for the Office he now holds,
and Sewer must be run to fill Ashley's vacancy.
But sir. have authority for believing that Sewer
will not be n candidate at all, consequently we
NAV expect BOrand to run through alone on his
track The race then would be between Oldham
and Field for | regard Hampstead so far behind,
now that he will haul off before the polls are up.
