 But to be serious; what IS there abou, NJ Clark can so faseinate the people of Clark, as 5 induce them to prefer him to many of these abo, named. Why, in the first place Mr. Editor thay are not ten men in the county that ever saw F, man. In the next place, not more than fifty kn5y there IS sucha man in the world Has Genes Clark ever given the people of Arkansas aayeyl dence of his statesmanship, any very enlarged n eompresensive views of public policy Is be vel read Tn international constitutional law Is be an orator, hngulst, man of letters or poei If my mind serves merlght, be has never been to Mexico, taken prisoner there nor anything ef ths, sort. Then what is itl Perhaps the personal ap pearance of the General IS 80 transcendentiy m posing that of itself it would make hun a hga amongst the physical and intellectual giants o ns lower house of Congress-.
 l This latter, may seem to some far fetched sea but Mr. Editor, you know as well as l. thal ts E personal appearance of man or woman eitAa even at home. much more abroad. is of some .a E portanee. Now to be plain, in my very huIuas k judgment, Gen. Clarke is physically nospaeiislo for the station to which he aspires He lS ID cn sequence of an attack of virulent small l.os af with very imperfect powers of articulation q speech. It is with great difficulty thatibe understood across the State Senate chambet much are his deciamatory organs impaired fta what could the people be thinking oi io sa4 nnaR as an advocate who can hardly be undersla | m common conversation. should as soon uBl of selecting man with wooden leg to o race. do not speak of this in any spini 0, s kindness to General Clark, because il IN a mset ! tune erly, not a faait or iosble. But do a believe nor do thnk the people can be ma5 believe that General Clark Is capable malni' . consequence oi tl,iS inability 10 discharge tb. -5 ] ties incumbent upon the station ha asp'Tes o cupy. If the people of Arkansas are tieh' General Clark. let them make hrn Goyeraa something else in which taking S not 30 nPs tant an ingredient. Bnt for my life esa af ] what some of the letter wnteH spoke oi; ie thai his past services entt'e hfm to the Haii'F ] of the party &c. Now if he has ever tit74' sa' | thing in the way of editing the Van Burea ia'- gencer that he has never been paid ipf; # g s'' tainly because those with wh0n he conlfaei1-@ the work, turned up. or turned ont nnabse' o' '' willing to stand up ,o tbeiT engagement Itei cannot see how i, eau be said that Ciait eo'N' Is fot hlm. unless it maybe aceoaaed hS this way.
