i'eVe It VIII counteract false opinion" or nut
pubic opinion right" Our correspondent has
travelled through the county, and we learn that he
'aoored hard to propagate the opinion which he
no" endeavors TO impress upon the people through
our columns and in that he has done more to
" put public opinion astray, than he is now do
ing to put 1t right We entertain as high opinion
OF his sincerity as he acknowledges is his opinion
OF ours; but large allowances must be made for
his prejudice, associations, and feelings. We

If the feeling such as he states The,eIection
day will tell how correct, and how disintorest

Mn. EDIToR-Sir IF vour columns are oDon
to the friends of all democratic candidates for the
Senate, which | understand 10 be the case | BEG
leave to state a fact that your readers generally
arc not aware of. Namely: That Sewer and
hemPstead are actually more popular in Crawford
county, at this day. than -Borand. Oldham, or any
one else and that their popularity is still increas-
ing BorIand Is the least popular Of all, though
his friends are warm and enthusiastic and keep up
much agitation. ! say this out of no unfriendIy
feeling towards either Borland or Oldham. but
merely TO put public opinion right upon the Sena-
torlal question. | believe you are sincere in max
ing your statements that Borland and Oldham
are the tavorltcs of the county but assure you
that ihave The amPlest opportunity TO know the
real state of public sentiment. | have been trav-
cling, counilnuay, through the county since the
Senatorial question came up, and have conYersed
with q large number of most intelligent cItl-
zens, and from them | receive my impressions.
am not by far, unfriendly TO other candidates,
yet l~wish TO couneract false opinion among a
number Of the people of this county.
