fer him the highest seat in the Senate.
 Col. lizards speech was characteristic ef the anan Able, bold, manly. He acquitted himself with great credit and came uP to his reputation as skill l fu and eloquent debaser. Yours, Sc. | have read with much pleasure inc communics- 'On of "Oid Jphnsoa te, and the editorial of, tlc
 ClsFksville Standard in reference to the course of certain papers in this State. The whitening rebuke administered therein to the eorihy eoareses of the falsely so calicd) Democrat and Yau Bnrcn Intel iigenceF would call to cheeks less hardened by evil deeds, the blush of shame. But they too old in sin, for any to hope to bring them back to true faith and practice, all thst be done is expose of their insdious and deceitfu pretsnsiOns- Tho "Deu,oerst' was established ayowsdly for the purpose of prosira,ing the lamcnted and gallant Nell, aud all familiar giih it's history knt N hew constantly and earnestly 1t has iabOred to destroy the best men of the party, how it's filthy columns have reeked with abuse of Bofand. Drew. Johnson Scver and all others who have dared or datet refuse to yield to its dicaton The whole tendency ef these papers has been disorgauizing and we all know how lovingly the integencer has joined in the unhoy work. Had it not been for the great strength of party instead of rejoicing in victory. wc might have been waiIiug s defeat had their wishes been gratified Take away the caption and the names of Lewis Cuss and Vim. O. Butler from it's head, and you wond lock, in vain for an, thing, by which to determine whether the 'democtat'' supported Cass, Van Buren, or Taylor, Indeed the willy editor and his yerdaut kaig ef the quill have, time bcen suspected of fondness for Taylor aud anon of longing for the of the magician of Kinder hook so indefinite their feelings indicated by the l psp-r.
 i ask the democracy is the dcmocrat a fai,bful sentinel on Oar watch tOerl what great demoo ratio principle has t, does it advocate You cannot find in it that warm enthusiastic support of our nominees and their principles which ought to char scierize party journal. If all other sssrces of knowledge were exclyded ffom the people, they would remaia in hopeless ignorance upon the sbsof. ping political topics of the day, for in vain wouL they seek light and information in the columns of 1 this pretended democratic paper. Do you find it advocating organization and union, encouraging the democracy 10 rally around their leaders in the past or coming campaigss The only union it asks for is inc union of disorganzrrs to break dexn and defeat the party The only encouragement it gives is to factions 10 destroy unity and nteg rity. Will the people of Arkansas unite with it in thus scaling mp the fountains of political light Will they aid in the destruction of Sevier in the coming contest to gratfy the nordnate, and deep rooted malice of his enemies led on by the Democrat and lntelligenccr7 ? Why is it they diligently seek hss in ,haV- ed ht al bax tiity ..unless it be his uniform true devotion to dcm ocra,c doctrine ani practice, and his distinguished rank in the party . do not advocate the election or Col. Seyier against the wishe' of majority of the democrats in the Stse but il is the du,y of all to warn the people, that the opposition of these pa- pers 10 hiIn arises from deep rooted hatred of hiz mad fine party. and that their uniform proves them to be % workers in the dirty work Of disor = ganzation; aud that under false and preGended love of the people they endeavor 10 conced their malignity Why should democrats wish to lay aside Col. Sever now Fer the last twenty years he has borne the heat and burden ofthe day in every contest He has ably and faithfully represented in both houses of Congress- and has. by his talents energy, and attention to the interests o his constituents, at taired high eminence in the Senate. Men in all parts ef the Uaian look upon him with respect. and democrats honor him as an able expounder and de- fender of their doctines and practice. Every one, whig democrat, who has visited W Washington City ! bears grateful testimony 10 las useEness and in duence. Abroad every citizen of Arkansas listens with pleasure 10 the merited praises his services win from all, and with an honest pride claims him as the favori;e of his State.
 | ask you, citizens of Arkansas, are you wiling { te abandon, without cause, the nan who has been reared amongst you, who while representing her ia 1 our national legislature, has won high renown for himself and reflected honor upon the Sa'e' Will you listen to the suggestions of his enemies and un- gratefully reject the serYees of faithful servant , Time aleue can answer. In the meantime ask for SeyieI, calm, candid investigation of his claims and qualifications.
