AUDIToR's OFFICE, ] Little Rock, Dec. 9th, 1858.{

J. H. GREASE, ESQ
 Sir: In a circular addressed to the members of the legislature, you make the following statement, viz: 1 aver 1t to be true that during the past two years, various members of the American or know nothing party have been in the employment of the Auditor, etc.
 As have never to my knowledge, given em- p'oyment to member of the American or know nothing party, this statement does me in justice.
 address you this note to ascertain what clerk now in my employ, or who has ever been in my employ, is member of the American or know nothing party. If there is such an one, have been imposed upon. and desire to krow it. It has been my intention, to employ no one as a clerk in my office who was not democrat, and who did not vote the democratic ticket.
 reply, at your earliest convenience, will much oblige,
 Yours respectfully,

papers, and even in the pulpit, the abolitionists war upon democracy; they identify it with negro slavery, and they charge that the only way to succeed in their hellish designs is to break it down. Yet there are editors at the south en- deavoring to destroy the only national party that exists, and who rejoice at every victory over the friends of the south nd of the Union.
 When that day shall come, which may God avert when the democratic party falls, then may these now rejoicing editors curse the hour that they ever uttered word or lifted hand against their only shield, and then, over them, and over us all, will settle weight of backness as terrible as that which fell upon the Esyp- tians. In the true hearts and bold hands of the honest democracy of the country rests the hope of the preservation of the Union and the rig hts of the south. They have nobly kept the trust reposed in them heretofore, and we firmly be- icve that they will ever keep it. In storm and battle they have been found true to their du- ties. and in the approaching contest, if the good ship shall go down, dragging with her the deslinies of nation and the hopes of the world, her gallant crew will be found to have stood by her to the last and every man like a hero to have pershed al his post

 SrR: Tour note of yesterday is received. The allusion in my circular, part of which you quote, thought under existing circum- stances due to myself to make It was, as expressly stated made in no invidions sense; and may add, with none other than kind feel ings toward yourself and the clerks in vour office. It would be contrary to my sense of proprietv, and unnecessary 10 any useful end, for me to undertake to specify individuals, to whom as well as to yourself, l might do il jas tic".
 It was my understanding, that among the various clerks at different times during the past two years, employed in your office, some had belonged to the know nothing, American and whig parties, and was not aware of a change in their relations. Be that as it may, your dis claimer that you have never knowingly given employment to a member of the American or know nothing party, and thatit has been your intention to employ no one as a clerk who was not democrat and who did not vote the de- mocratic ticket, ought to be amply sufficient to relieve von from any injustice, though not in tentional, I might have done you, by the al- fusion referred to-
