Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer
FROM ARKANSAS.

TULIP Dallas Co., Ark, July b, looo.
!Nessrs. Editors According to promise, now
give YOU an inkling of politics, and let you know
what we are doing away here in 1rkahsar. Our
people are all in stir at this time, and excitement
bids fair to run very high Both the Democratic
and American parties have marshaled their troops,
plumed their feathers, sounded the tocsin of war
and taken the field in battle array, each headed
BY spirited and gallant leaders, who are endeavor-
ing to urge their forces on to victory. They have
held State. district, county and township conven-
tions, and nominated candidates from Governor
down to township constable. Governor Conway
is nominated for reelection by the Democrats;
and Gen. Yell, democrat renegade, is the Amer
lean nominee. Judge Greenwood of the Northern
District is nominated for reelection by the democ-
racy. Rusk. in the Southern District, was cut
out by some foul MEANS it is said. do not know
how it is exactly, though was very sorry to see
it-for besides making good member, his whip
ping of Greedy should have entitled him to seat
in Congress for life. Col Warren, the nominee,
is young man o: very fair talent, and served one
term Just previous to Rusk, and his friends char
ged that he has cut out two years ago by some
trick, and Rusk nominated; and left nothing un-
done to secure his nomination this time. 1t is
charged by some, that the Delegate from Union
county, who was also proxy for Calhoun disobey-
ed instructions and voted for Warren. There was
considerable grumblng about it, but believe it
has all cooled down and the party will go Warren
to n unit.
The democracy have received the nomination of
Buchanan and Breckenridge cheerfully, and
though Pierce was their choice, they have gone to
work earnestly. Ratification meetings are held
al over the State, and the candidates for electors
are canvassing the State and addressing the peo-
ple Great enthusiasm peryades the ranks. You
NAV set down Arkansas as safe for the democrat
ic nominations beyond doubt. Sam was in the
minority at his BEST and much more now. Pike,
their great apostle ard leader, backed down seve-
ral months ago, with several others of their
their ranks almost every day, besides, since the
democratic platform has come out, number of
old-line Wings who are neutral, have declared for
the democracy, throwing aside party questions and
prejudices, and are going with the party who
promise to stand up to the rack. Slavery appears
to be the great issue in the present contest, and
the democratic platform is sufficiently strong for
the most ultra Southerner to rally upon. And it
is to be hoped that the wisdom of the people of
the Southern States will be such as to make them
drop all issues of minor Importance, and meet
this great, and to us vital question, in the next
elections with an unbrokeu front. I see that the
Black Republicans have nominated Fremont for
President. What say Carolinians to this truant
son? propose to make one of ten who will wait
upon the gentleman and duck him until he recov-
ers his senses, for the man is certainly deranged.
Who will be the other nine? Volunteers will
please send in their names to the ENQUIRER Office.
o by the by, Messrs Editors, permit me to con-
gratulate you upon your Kansas delegation, though
I think you might have sent a much larger one
Old York can furnish two thousand soldiers, if she
tries, of Just such material as won the battle of
Kings Mountain. Then, how comes it that you
sent out but eight men to Kansas, when the Abo-
litionists are ravaging the territory in guerilla
bands numbering our Southern people. Old York
has the men and means to send n company of at
least one hundred, and if you will stir them up q
little they will do it-and if you should lack one
man, call on HANNIBAL.
