From the Whig.

from the Whg.
 FRIEND WHIG:-I notice in your issue of the 27th inst., a letter from MT. Trezevant, of Mem phis, on the subject of the Memphis subscrip- tion to the Little Rock railroad. This letter, taken in connection with other publications. is decidedly piece of bad management; and in fact, this whole issue touching the Memphis bonds, IS characterized by constant series of contradictions-each new move in it making confusion worse confounded. The trurh is, Memphis is deliberately guilty-she attempted fraud; and she now labors through tumble of conflicting subterfuges, to avoid detection. Her course Is pointing towards re-enacting of the comedy: she is driving towards the expe- dlent oi the Amateur in Hamlet, who, feeling that he had died clumsily, requested the au7 dlence to torbear laughter until he should t,v at ogaa". My word for 1t, Memphis, after pre- tending to make show of legality to sanctify her fraud on the people of this State, will em- ploy Ihe nohcndta'ace Ot the aforesaid amateur, in trying it again.
 Clinton, who is endorsed by the Memphis "hlg, comes out in an article dated April 14th, fepuolatng the idea that the legality of the Memphis subscription can be adduced from the M memphls charter; and the above mentioned Mr.
 Irezevant (evldently without consulting Clin- ton' or the Whig,) comes out in letter of the same date, proving that the legality of the said subscription can be adduced from that charter only. Clinton versus Trezevant, would pro- bably furnish fine field for legal acumen; and still further field can be furnished when those wits shall have demolished each other'' by opening up the further issue of Judge King versus both. Does the legality of the subscrip- tion rest on the charter? Trezevant afirms: Clinton denies. Does the legality of the sub- scription rest on the law of 1852? Clinton af-
 firms: Trezevant denies. Does the legality of the subscription rest on any plausible pretext

(EF In justice to Col. HENRY M. RECTOR, of this county, and to Major THOMPSON B. FLOUR EoY, of Desha county, we must state that though their names were used before the Princeton convention, they were not candidates for the nomination.
 Col. RECTOR refused in the most emphatic manner to accept the nomination when tedner- ed him by this county, but notwithstanding his refusal, his friends were determined to instruct the Pulaski delegation for him, and did so. He had always expressed his desire not to be con- sidered candidate, and had not in conse- quence, taken any steps to place himself in that attitude before the people.
 Major F'LOURNOY's name was also used con- trary to his expectations. He is democrat who believes in serving when called upon, and would doubtless have accepted had the nomination been conferred upon him, but to our knowledge he was no aspirant to the honors
 Both Col. Rector and Maj. Floumoy will give Col. Rust, the nominee, their cordial support, They are democrats of the old school, and be- lieve in abiding the decision of conventions.- They are not democrats from interested mo- tves, they are so from princple-from love of democratic principles and belief in their efficiency and correctness

THE YoUNG AMERICA, published at Eldora- do by Jas. M. Warner has recently come out in new and improved dress, and presents a beautiful appearance. MT. Warner edits one of the best and most interesting papers in the State He has long been an editor in Arkan- sas and is familiar with the wants and necess- ties of the people and speaks out boldly and fearlessly his sentiments upon all subjects.
 MT. Warner has the credit of putting the temperance ball in motion in this State. What effect he may be enabled to produce upon the public mind we are not prepared to say. In his advocacy of temperance and morality and good sound democracy, we heartily wish him the greatest success.
