 MesSrs. Epsross; We are much pleasess to learn here that the candiaSiss for Congress will address the voters Of IIos spring county befare te election They are to he here on the 22d inst.
 The Arkansas whig'' has n some degree Sue oeeded in getting credeace to Inc false coloring i, has been pleased to give o tls poliNesl character of the two gentlemen whose names are. before inc people for Congress. Bat we apprehena tAas hearing Of thcm will set ceery thing properly be- fore as: and Ii will be pe5yen tbat Johnson is a safe, soln1, unainotjng friend of The south. and friend fthe Union alsa 20 long ae $9aheru In s,itu,ious are alowe3 tAeg constitutional protec- ton There ta no d.Saifection here anong the democracy. We arr all far Johnson. We are aot welded to hnn ny any bl1l pdftis,itv, CT by any other consideration aside from our own best inter csls as citizens of our beloved Ame, n Unau. But we believe tha, our entire fepecse .atlos in the approaching session oi Congress stouId pos yeSs ali the fmnaesS and itdepende ace of a Boa IoaxsoNl He IS a gentleman who has fully and frankly avowed all his opinions upon the great and stern issues of the times We have tred him, we know him, and Vt will v9te for Aiu.
 Bat who IS Capt. John Prestonl |ss snow him also, personally, some of us. He ig gentleman oftaeuts and wealth and atluencc, hging in Phil lips county, aud q strong enthusiastic whig. He is man who now IS, and who ever has been aS- piring for national notoriety. Some of hs kin are in FilImore's cabinet. The Captain was in the Mexican war came home and eangassed the State for Old Zach !" and come out at the little end Of the Horn." He now seeks, under the cloak of Lniorisr,, to be dubbed with Congressional Honors from our State and if he should succeed what are we to expect
 Why he is opposed to State Sovereignty, and of course believes that Congress should settle all questions touching the institution Of slavery. and the States should do as MT. Congress says. Well naioritytof boh Houses are from the free States, and the gallant Capiain would undoubtedly think 1t better for his own aggrandizement and for the " delr Union" 10 go along with them.
 Now, Messfs. Editors, we would ask what will the Union be worth to US, when al things are ab- solutcly ruled by a Northern majority What good can result to Us as n State by being one of the great Federal Galaxy, when our institutions, secured as they were by the blood of our fathers are crushed down. and our constitutional protec- ton denied ts and all our remoustrances dlSre- garded? If the North shall become another Great Britain, expressing the South with an son hand, why should a |" Uai9s" with them, hang upon,jhe lips of an office seeking Preston, ike honey, or teem through the columns of that world -wlde known sheet, " The Whig," as though the mere name of :. Uaioa" would add any thing to our hap piness or prosperity as State or as southern States
 The Captain and his organ, the Whig, and thclr many unjust preyaneanng contributors, are great friends to the Union. D yes, for the saae of promotion they will Iaaant aHy 6obby; but if they should swing in upon su6h hunbuggery, the South, as payf of the Union" will soon pray " for ,he Lord ;J deliver her from her friends.s
 We know of several good wbigs who were with the gallaat Ce9faia in the war with Mexico wao will not vote for nm in this contest. But we know of no democrat who wtl not support Bob Johnson; and we believe that no goai democrat or nte3hgrnt souficruer will do otherwise.
 Yours, Southern Rights and the Union,
 JOHN RUNT.
