Dear Clarke:-The startling news of Col. AS

thrilling surprise. The State has indeed met vlh
great loss.
With one accord, we determined TO proposc

the South and East ungenerous as 10 deny

there exists no diversity Of opinions OF preference
and we will rally at Little Rock in one un0rokea

will give no preteXt 10 other parts Of the Sial'

that the whole 4th Circuit, Will rs one nan sap

that large portions of the 9TH. and Sd. wall back

In Little Rock, on Saturday, 10th June.
01TWe understand that Judge Sebastn has ac-
cepted of the appointment Of U. S. Senator, and
has announced his decIInation as Candidate for
Presidential EIector. In looking over, the pro-
ceedings, we see that the State Convention made
no arrangement for filling up vacancies, and we
think there is NJ better plan than for the Press to
bring forward the names of those who are thought
to be most suitable 10 fill this important post, re-
signed by Judge Sebastn. By this means, we
believe that some one individual may be fixed
upon.
While expressing a willingness to run up the
name of any person who may be selected by the
majority of the other democratic press, we take
occasion TO express desire 10 see the name of
the Hon. VIM. DAVIS of Union county, placed on
the Electoral Ticket. The high reputation of
this gentleman, justify US in the expectation of his
fitness for the station.
GTWAsHINGToN CoUNTY.-On Monday the
22d inst, being the first day of Court, in compli-
ance with the custom in Old Washington, a large
number Of candidates for the Legislature announc-
ed themselves.
We did not learn the names Of all, among them,
however, were Messrs. r. McCamy, and Moses
Stout, for the Senate. Messrs. A. NJ. Wilson, J.
M. Tibbatts, Thos. Wilson, John BilIingsly, Rich
ard Sharp, Isaac Murphey, and Charles Miller, for
the House.
ThsapPears TO be 4 large number of candidates,
but IN Washington, where one Senator and five
Representatives, are elected at every election, we
think the number of candidates quite small.
G-We learn that Z. II. FEATHERsToY ESQ.
of Polk county, is candidate TO represent that
county in the next Legislature, We had The pleas
