The present is not merely an occasion to
6ll vacant Offices, it is an important epoch
IN the history Of our State We nave
now reached point in the history of our
State affairs which imposes upon Us tne
necessity Of searching out the best talent
and selecting the best men, We need
the most skillful pilots to guide the snip
~ State through the breakers and among
the rocks which surround us Owing to
the bad management Of incompetent oil-
GERS. our State presents, in her sovereiSn
capacity, the sorry sight Of wide and
arid field of bankruptcy, and j. upon the
very verge of repudiation- What has
brought about this condition Of things
r. It the ineompetency Of our rulers qF
the incapacity Of our people to govern
themselves Z One or the other il certain
" must Be- If the people are IN fault,
the sooner we return to a territorial vas
salagc. the better. If the present raee
of ofice-hoIders are to blame, this race,
which. for twenty years, have been grow
/ Ing rich. while the State has grown poor,
upon the spoils Of Office, furthering and
advancing their oxD selfish purposes m
utter disregard Of the interests of the
/ State and their own sworn duty. / say II
it is their fault dismiss every one Of them
continue them III Office no longer-they
are burthen upon the treasury-an IN
subus upon our energies and 2 disgrace
10 the State they bavc ruinei and desra-
ded l again say it IS not the fault OF
the people; il j. the fault Of selfish, m
principled and incompetent office-holders-
1t is for the people to say whether Arkan-
~ shall stand first upon The call of the roll
Of States, and last in importance and re-
spect-
III All sincerity | ask every individual,
before he casts his vote for Elias y. Con-
way or f. Al Warren, to ask himself the
qucstion-For what OF for whom am |
voting? Am | voting to perpetuate the
misrule and downward tendency Of this
State, OF am / voting to raise her TO her
proper rank and position One or the
other thing | must be doing. 10 vote
for Conway is to say we desire to remain
in our present condition, for he has done
more and ~ now doing more than any 9TH

our State affairs into their present eondi-

change in the existing ruinous poliey2-
f Not at all lie continues in his Ignorance
and stupidity to contend that his course
has been correct, and even attempts to
claim credit that things are not worse
than they are
II the people desire 4 change let them
vote for Gen JAMES NELL and ClL AE-
SALON FOWLER, for with the present dy-
nasty affairs will grow from bad 10 worse
= y shameful thing for Conway u
say he has not time to canvass the State
With Gen'l Yell How long has it been
SINCE he was spending weeks in your Dor

opponent on the stump and defend
MS wretched measures and policy. He
would be the subject of ridicule and
shame His prctence Of cancelIinr of y
million of dollars in bonds would not avail
him any longer. His claim Of canzip.-
the revenue to increase would nat t,t,
with the people when the trick would h.

the station he now occupies with 50 Iit,Ie
