Democrats of Arkansas In two days more than three weeks, Representative from this State will be elected to Congress. Who shall 20, democrat or a whigl IL is for the democracy to say-aDd a democrat, will be the instant answer But we should be watchful. A wolf has clothed himself with the covering of sheep and is among es, hop ing b pass unSuSpected. Col Preston has denied that he IS running as q whig candidate. Gen Taylor did the same thing, and the moment he was President he turned nearly every democrat oui uf otiicz. Why should we believe Capt Preston more trusly than Gen Taylor, We should not; we will not Democrats oI Arkansas, would you for a moment believe that if Capt. Preston was in Con- gross he would vote for one single democratic measure No Would he be energetic !a push ing forward the cause Of democracy there Nol Instead Of that, whiggery would be his dreams by night and by day. it will not b. hong before a President of these United States will be choSen- From the aSplrantS Tor that bgh office, i. is moi in- probable that the choice of President wlii 20 into the House ot Representatives. In that event, if Capt Preston was there, democrats would you for an instant believe that hs IS enough mo- party man to cast the vote of Arkansas for democratic Pres- dent! Never! He would throw Arkansas to the whigs, and cast her vote for the strongest whg run ning Yes, he would throw Arkansas to the wbigs Arkansas that has ever been firm while other States wayered. Democrats of Arkansas will you give Capt Preston the power to do this No never will be the response of the democracy of this State.

The enemy are endeavoring to cool us into .stleneSS, by presenting false issues. They tell us .heif can didate IS not 4 whg 0h, nt he is merely a Union man! Tins IS but g deceptive cry: fyf Inc aid he would carry 10 No.them A6osiuoaisIs by not daring b lft hs voice for tha Soath would go far 10 part ths Union in less than three years as far as could Seward go himself
 They tell us t will not do 10 send Col. Johnson 10 Congress because he speaks too lOid his op.n- ions III favor of Southern rights, and fl may excite the abolItioniSts 10 be indignant al us and cause dissolution of the Union. What has il come to this, that the South dare not send a man to Goa gress who will aobly tell her wrongs and yindicate her rights This is insulting To the South, and il will cause Arkansas b stand the ireE by her fear less champion Hon.

 They fell Us, to9, that fl we send Col. JOHNSON to Congress he will dissolve thIs Union; and il Capt. Preston is seHt there, he, Capt. Preston, will preserve ul Snch hnmbaggery IS too insuif- ing to the intelligence of the people. They tell us the preservation of this Inon depends upon one man--and that man IS Capt. Preston Why is it thai whegery believes the people so totally ignorant ot their owa poyrT, that Il endeavoFs 10 hnmbng them thuSi Because they have deceived the people heretofore they hink t an easy matter, now.
