A Capital Letter.

The Nashville Gazette publishes the following
letter from an Old Jackson Democrat in Ohio"
to his son in that city:
Now, in conclusion, wish to say few words
to you in reference to what conceive to be Of the
greatest Importance to you and all the young men
of the country.
You are aware that the time is again upon us
when we, as sovereigns of this great and glorious
Republic, this land Of the heroic Washington are
to choose ruler to govern and preside over the
destiny of this great country for the next four
years. Before the American people there are three
men, who are presented by three several parties
champions of their different political views Now
in accordance with one of the first principles Of
this glorious Republic and Union of States, each
voter is called as honest and loyal citizen TO
WELD his suffrage in the selection Of the man who
has the honest integrity to administrative laws of
this country mpartially, and who will in any and
every crisis stand by the Constitution Of the United
States, thereby insuring the greatest good to tho
greatest number. Whom must we choose that
these ends may be attained? In accordance with
my political faith and course heretofore would
say Buchanan. castmy first vote for Gen. jackson,
and have supported every Democratic candidate
since his election. But have become 80 much
disgusted with the present administration, and the
operations Of the party generally, that viii not
support any of the candidates that they have or
may bring into the field
Mr.. Fremont is the candidate of the Abolition
party, and fanatic, and the event of his election,
(God forbid IT'D would bring us at once to the sad-'
dest calamity that could befal our country--a dis
solution Of the Union Of these States.
But in the hands of the American gladiator, the
noble Fillmore this our common country is safe.
He stands on Mason and Dixon's line and says, my
| brethren, will administer the laws of this our
country iRpartially, l will act for your mutual
good, will endeavor TO restore peace to all sec
tons. Will he do IL? He will--we have tried
him, and he has proven himself on honest man.
He is well deserving Of the highest confidence
of the American people.
1 desire that you would give him your hearty
support. Your brother William is a strong Fiji
more man. know that / have taught you to
think that nothing but Democracy was right, but
from this wish you to deyiate at once as in
tend doing. Your father, &c.

Arkansas PoLITICs.--We learn from the Little
Rock Gazette, that those distinguished Democrats,
HenryM Rector, of Little Rock, and DR.. Sewer
and Mr. Bradley, OF Lafayette county, are all re-
fusing to support or vote for the reelection of
Governor Conway, and the latter two are support
ing Governor Yell, the American candidate. There
Is hardly doubt of the election Of Yell, since he
has no opposition the stump, and very little on
the ground, so far as the pgmy Conway is con-
cerned.--Aemphis Eagle.
