LITTLE Rock. June "a. 1856.
Mess7s. Editors : Perhaps few item
from our city concerning the political aspec
Of the times would not prove uninterestin,
N your readers With this belief, l hav'
addressed you this letter. which you cal
publish if you think proper.
On yesterday, pursuant to previous sp
,oiutment, Coils. Fowler and Warren ad
dressed large assemblage of our citizens
Much enthusiasm was apparent on the par
1.-THE friends of Col. Warren, who consisted
rriueipally. of foreigners of the hardes'
rossible stripe. Not even the respectable
ppOrtiOn of the foreign population deigned te
q rii7e bin hearing, nor did the "Family-
GO TO listen to him; from some cause Oh
Ether they remained absent during his re.
marks. And as several of that party here
have expressed themselves publicly in dis.
.nnrobation of the conduct of Col. W.,
ratber suspect be does not take we'll with
them. He seemed to be in possession Of
tbis idea, which, with the welLknown popu-
lar feeling existing in this county in favor
Of the American party, almost rendered
him unable TO take the stand at all
I think the Col. has very little of the
yital spark about him, to allow these
ipfalIible. selfloving demagogues to ride
over him with such impunity. Had be
announced himself as an Independent can
djdate, he would have run stout race but
a. the matter stands. the united forces of
Americanism and Conway -Johnsonism will
prove too great for him. and he must fall.
Fowler has completely riddled what has
beeu left of him, and i seriously doubt his
ability to pursue the canvass to its COM
pletiOn-
Col. Fowler made the most brilliant
speech have heard in long time. If he
i not successful in this election, shall
consider that Arkansas has not the sense of
Gserimination between talent, honesty and
patriotism. and humbuggery, demagogueism
aud selfish desire for promotion. But
certainly believe that Arkansas will repu-
date the vultures preying upon her vitals,
and place In their stead the noble and
generou, champions of the American party,
who do not skuik behind masked battery,
nor seek to avoid the issues which are in
voIyed in the present contest
Maj Borland has returned home from a
visit to the North-Western portion of the
State. During his absence. as many per-
sons were urgent in their demands upon him
for his opinions in regard to the political
questions of the day. he fulfilled their re-
quests and addressed the penple among
wEOm he has been, at several times aud
places Letters from intelligent and dis
eeruing men who heard him. inform Us that
be aroused and quickened the dormant
sentiments of the people. and that every
county in that section of the State will roll
down. in August, its hundreds and thousands
for the American tickets Nor is it strange
that Maj Borland should exert such an
influence, for no man in Arkansas possesses
a larger share of general and reliable infor-
nation than he does. nor has any man in
the State happier faculty of securing the
attention of his audience. The ease of his
manner and the excellent control which he
has over bis countenance and voice, bespeak
the finished orator. and gives him power.
when speaking, over the multitude rarely
ezcelIed Maj Borland. in retiring from
the tripod of the Gazette and Democrat,
carried with him the appreciation of ma
Prity of the people of Arkansas. and altho'
the organ has attempted to defame his
public and private character by low and
malignant abuse, and though ''the family"
have emptied upon his head the vials of
their wrath. their efforts have proved harm
ess-utterly powerless for the evil which
they we're intended to accomplish. and only
rendered themselves still more obnoxious to
tie digh-minded, chivalrous portion of our
citizens, who cannot endorse the malignancy
aud vituperation contained in the columns
Ct the True Democrat.
One of your townsmen has recently re-
moved and settled in our midst, as have
understoOd-A H Garland, Esq, the gen.
ileman who ran Col. Warren from the field
10 his recent tour sin search of nomination
tor Congress under difficulties" He comes
to Us with the reputation of being first
rate lawyer an eloquent debater. and, above
all, which | doubt not is true. 4 jealous
advocate of our good cause. We have
vide field open here for lawyer of talent
and industry. and | doubt not but that Mr..
Garland will succeed so completely as to
realize his most sanguine expectations.
But grow perhaps tedious. close with
the wish that the Telegraph may live and
have good luck for a thousand and one
years LUCIFER.
