monaIty" as the whg candidate for Governor, in
opposition to the dictatiou Of the leaders at Little
Rock. Mr.. E. possesses fine talents. popu-
lar manners, is gentleman Of great private
worth; and is supported by the influential wings

spoken favorably of, by the wings in the west
who determined be controlled by Ber-
trand, Trapnn s. Co.; and in all probability
Wilson will be compelled TO Withdraw in favor Of
the candidate brought out by the people. If So
the contest will be a harder one, and we will have
to look round US before the election
GJ-The Gazette is beginning 10 wish that Mr..
EDINGToN and his friends would knock under 10
the Little Rock leaders. But, all in vain, Mr..
E. has warm friends in this part OF the
State, who will stick him, while there is "a plank

such were the sentiments, we are assured, felt
