battle died away into an echo, propose to sur and note the triumphs and losses we have sus- tained in this county. Incomparably the most brilliant campaign has been in Jefferson county. Right here at the very door of Gen. Yell his friends witnessed his demolition, which was most crushing and soul whitening blow, after their vain boasting and wholesale denunciation of Gov. Conway. In no county in the State were the Know Nothing party better disciplined than ln this. The leaders and office -ltopers of that party employed all of their energies and lavished their money with the freedom that March does his winds. They resorted to every cunning device that Know Nothngs, in their prolific imagination can suggest, yet with all this, high above their unhallowed efforts the good old democratic banner streamed aoft in the realms of victory.
 The masses could not forget the able states manship of Gov. Conway for the demagogisns of his opponent The senseless cry of county pride'' gotten up in behalf of Yell, fell unre- l was indeed county pride that gave this county to Conway. It was from just pride in her broad rich lands, her common schools and her many happy institutions, from her glorious past his tory, of her present exalted attitude, and the glorious hopes of the future, that induced the masses of this county to conhde their interests to one who had so nobly sustained them for the last four years, and whose wisdom and ability would again sustain them for another four years, in which time Arkansas will take up her step to the music of internal improvements, the cause of education, the liquidation of her debt and the general happiness and prosperity of her people. Yell bears his defeat with an affected heroic calmness and resignation truly amusing. Whther now will his political barke tend? He has boxed every point of the political compass and we at last find him stranded most beauti- fully on the bleak shore of annhilation, He can never come back into the democratic ranks Goode Akin, Qua'sdom friend, says ell can't laugh himself back into the democratic party" 1 leave the question for his own solu- ton. Being sort of spiritual guide and friend of Yelrs, I have endeavored to assuage the sting of his crushing defeat but 1t was all to no purpose. History may be searched, the classic and poetic page unfoded-Paley and Tupper, and the sacred writ itself no author living or dead can afford him consolation in this his hour of distress; have called up before him all the sentiments of expiring greatness with which to sustain him in his own fall. 1 tried to induce him to breathe this holy prayer, but with a rudeness not characteristic of him he spurned 1t:
 ' Oh for a 7odge in some vast wilderness,
 Some boundlcss contguty oi shade,
 Where the rumors ot successful and uSucceSeful war May never reach me more"
 I then refresAed him with these lines of Wolsey's:
 Farewell :. a long farewell to all my g,eatness. This is the state of man; day he puts forth The tender leaves of hope. to morrow blossoms And bears Ills bIuaAlng honoro thick upon him; The third day comes q trost killing tlo,,
 And when He thinks, good easy man. tull surely Ills greatness S a ripcning, nips Nj, blossom. And then ho fall, as dol have ventUrcl
 Like little wonton boys that swim on bIndders This many summers ln ot glory.
 B4t tlr hegnd my derh; my high blown pride At length broke under me; and now has left Weary and o!d with service. t. the mercy
 Of rude stream that must forever hide me,
 ' ain pomp and glory ot the world hate you feel my heart new-opencd, etc.
 This beautiful passage made no impression, when, d last resort, brought up the trials and the sublime excamatons of that doubtful historical character J Job when he repulsed me with Jobs own words-leavc me, ''miserable comforter that you are"
 A word or two in regard to the election in this county, before l close. The idea prevails abroad, as l gather from the columns of tile public prints, that majority of the candidates elected at the August election, were members of the Know Nothing party Such is not the case. Of the eleven nominations made by the democratic party in convention, in May last, eigh were elected The other three were de- feated by the bascst subterfuges Col Luckie, the democratic candidate for the legislature (by whose industrious efforts Yell was defeated as also Fowlcr) was sacrificed to secure the elec- tion of the candidate for the clerkship. A powerful monicd influence was brought to bear on that candidate, votes were swapped and false tickets forced on the ignorant and unsus- pecting electors. This double dealing was ef- iectcd SO quietly that it was impossible to de- tect it. The party was thrown so completely off it's guard, and relied so implicitly upon the election of Col. Luckie, that they never sus- pected the ruse the adverse party were playing off on them. At the opening of the polls, Col. Luckie was at least fifty votes ahead of his op- ponent and was only defeated from the causes which I have alluded to. The same reasons that defeated him also defeated Judge Hudson, the candidate for the sheriffalty. The other defeated candidate, was that most estimable gentleman, Judge Scull, for probate judge, which was brought about from DO other cause than his disncnation to canvass the county. As it was his opponent beat him only few votes.
 The democratic party is being well organized, and in November we will completely redeem Jefferson county Our mutual k N friend, Jo NJ, was in town few days ago, and re- lates the following rich conversation between the postmaster at New Gascony and his old favorite negro, Adam; well known in the neigh borhood:
 Postmaster-Well, Adam, arc you the old est man in the world
 Adam-Yes, massa, 1 am the original Adam!
 7. M-Adam are you Know Nothing?
 Adaa-No, massa, Ihav'm got doaon that lo,0 yet! Yours truly,
 JEFFERSON.
