Look fo tha Record.

In highly wrought article against Gov. Elias N. Conway, the Gazette puts forth the following in relation to Col. Fowler, the Know Nothing nominee for Congress:
 "Col Absalom Fowler, now American nominee for Congress in the southern district of Arkansas, was also member of the same constitutional nventon and tlisagreeing with Gov James $. Conway, op- posed the banking clause in State constitution"
 This is, as the record shows utterly untrue. In the convention for the formation of the constitution, held in January, 1886, the con- mittee on banks reportel in favor of authorz- ing the establishment of two banks with branch es. It is true that Fowler voted against this report but why did he vote against it? The record shows that he voted against it because it limited the Legislature to the establishment of only t,oo banks. When the report came up for adoption, thefolowing amendment was of. fered:
 Mr. FOWLER n,oved to amend, by st,lkinq out aA ofter tue aoord may in tue first hne, first sec tion and inserting in lieu herecf-', from time to time establish such bankng institutions as tue in- terests cf Me country may require soas lost"
 This amendment of Col Fowler being voted down, the Colonel then voted against the report of the committee authorizing the establishment of only two banks. It is thus shown that he was not opposed to the principle of banking but opposed to the report of the committee because it restricted the Legislature to the estab- lishment of only t,yo banks. He was in favor of giving the Legislature power to establish as many banks as it pleased.
 Again, Col. Fewler's position on the question of banking was shown while he was member of the lower branch of the General Assembly in 1844 In the session of 1844 and 1845, the following proposition to amend the constitution came up before the House of Representatives, of which Col. Fowler was member:
 No bark or banking izashtuton shall De here after incorporated or established in hds State."
 The final vote upon this proposion was taken on the sth of January, ls45. Every member in the House, whig and democrat, voted for it with two exceptions. Col. Foac1er aud Nr. Hynson voted against it.
 This shows the position of Col. Fowler to have been directly the reverse of what the editor of the Gazette represents it. He was in favor of banks in Arkansas, not only in the outset, but even qtter aN the unhappy experience that the failures cf the t1co banks established had qforded
 These facts speak for themselves, and illus trate the recklessness of the Gazette. The re- cord shows its statements to be untrue. IL shows that Col Fowler was bank man, and was such even in 1844 and '45, after the dis. astrous failures of the banks, and was one ol oaly two men in the lower branch of the Gene ral Assembly who were such. We wish now to see the editor of the Gazette reconcile these facts from the record'' with it's editorial state n1apts Of last week

George was elected Squire, and soon after being
inducted into Office he was called on in great haste
to marry runaway couple, who were in great fear
that the old folks would come upon them before
the knot was tied The matter had to be attend.
