hUNTsViLLE, Ark, NOV. L.
Mr.. EDIroR-We would be much graft
fled to see you advocating the nomination
of our friend and ncighbor Col. A. NJ. VIII
SON for our next Congressman but you
are the best judge of the propriety of your
own course; and as you very impartially
offer the use of your columns to the friends
Of any good democrat, we are satisfied
The democracy of Madison County are al
most unanimous in their preference for Col.
Wilson, but will give their cheerful support
to the nominee of the Democratic party.
whoever that may be.
Col. w. has grown up amongst us +; has
been a constant and unwavering democrat ;
he is better acquainted with the wants OF
our people, than any other public man in
the State His habits of industry and at
tention to business are guarantees that our
affairs and interests would receive his faith
full attention at Washington. The people
of Madison and Crawford Counties, have
sustained each other in times past, support
ing the same men anu advocating the same
measures. Their interests. are inseperablc,
and We hope to find our old friends of
Crawford still with us in supporting West
ern interests. If supporting Col. Wilson
is I" sectional feeling" we plead guilty
to the charge. Our friends of Crawford
have always been noted for their able advo
cacy of Western interests, and We hope
they will continue to maintain that posi-
tion. WHITE RIVER.

For the Van Buren, Press.
The Party.

We hau the pleasure of being present
on Thursday evening of last week, at Gen
WILcox's. and therefore hope to be pardon
ed for the liberty we are now taking
When first entering the room, which wa.
very brilliantly lighted, our eyes were daz
zled by the sudden transition of darkness
to light-where nothing was to be seen but
a moving mass Of gay attire, which. appa-
rently, had the same effect on all present
'.. r ..e ladies Immediately after entering, re-
paired to side room to embellish them
selves, though they soon joined this happy
elysiam. The zephyr-ikc dresses and smil-
ing faces with which each lady was careful
ly adorned, would have melted heart OF
adamant. The latter part of the evening
we were honored with the most divine mu-
sic-it seemed to be poured fourth from
the depths of the soul. to charm those pres
ent, and if SO, it certainly had the desired
effect-the room was filled with melody
But to the gentlemen it is beyond the
power of my poor pen to give the desired
description of their grace and elegance,
therefore it is left to the imagination OF
their own noble sells. 1.-The lion of the
evening"" was presented with two very
handsomely arranged bouquets, which were
given and received with equal grace. Emu
lation was carried on in all parts of the
thrOng-there surely must have been some
bleeding hearts among them all.
l hope that this little effort of mine will
be the means OF calling forth more able
pen than mine on this interesting, if not
important subject. FLORA.
