~TT3~ Most of the professed democratic papers in the first district, that under the lead of the True Democrat, so bitterly opposed the nomination of Col. Hndman have, in strict obedience to their teachings and the secret wishes of the oIigarchy refused to indorse the nomination of that gentle man, although made by the unanimous vote of the Dover convention!e
 This is what is called true democracy by the sup porers of the dynasty in that district. The True Democrat smiles blandlv and most 9racously on the treason and says nary uord.-O Old Line Demo ocrat.
 Truly our neghbor is most laughably that hoist the names of democratic nomi- nees and those that refuse to do so. In the stultifes itself by hoisting the name of Col. R. H. Johnson because he is the de facto nominee, and then taking it down without the shadow of an excuse. Is Col. John son not still the de tacto nominee? Was he not made so by the unanineous vote of the State convention? Yet the Old Line Democrat calls it heason to repudiate a nominee-when that nominee Is Col. Hind man. The papers that have refused to support Col. Hindman have given their reasons for so doing our neighbor refute their reasons if it can. We are doing the party better service by keeping our neigh Dor right on the record. In the meantime allow us to ask ii you are not, in "obedience to the secret wishes of the oligarchy" that you serve, favoring the opposition candi- dates in this county? It is so rumored in the country

 sional District.

FELLOW-t I'IZENS:-
 When l was defeated for Congress in this district two wears ago, determined never again to become a candidate for office in Arkansas. But circum- stances have since occurred which have induced me to alter that very rash determination. The people have had time to reflect, and this " sober second thought" has no doubt caused them to re- pent of the choice that they then made. As they sinned ignorantly, have, after mature reflection, thought it nothing but just that should extend the hand of forgiveness, and permit my name to be used in connect on with the canvass of lS60 The in creased intelligence of the couE f during the past two years leads me to hope for d favorable result.
 1 have edited political journal in Arkansas for the last ten vears and have been well known as an uncompromising Whig and Amercan of the strict est sect. 1 expect to live and die ill the faith. l glcry in bearing my share of the odium that some may attach to the name. My platform is that adopted by the late Baltimore conventions to-wit: ''THE CoNsrITUrIoN, THE UNION, AND ENFORCEMENT OF LAws.'
 As matter of course, I expect to be elected i; but if il should be ordered otherwise do not en- certain any serious approximations to the safety of the country.
 Respectfully, JAMES A. JONES.

 HoN. GEo. c.

You "have done the State some service and they know it," and while the people appreciate your talents and character and have ever been ready to promote you to any position, the extreme modesty of yourself and friends has thus far prevented your promotion to those places which all admit you are so well qualified to fll

 A recent publication from the Hon. Albert Rust, seems to narrow the contest down to himself and Gov. Conway; and while MT. Rust makes good member of the lower House, and Mr. Conway is a good Governor, think it is no injustice to { say, that neither is well qualified to give F dignity to the position or character to the State, in the new sphere to which they as pire. Is it not time that the best talent in our State should be promoted to the best places in her gilt? We have had second rate men squabbling long enough over first rate places, and if the dispositions of good men disqualify them for these contests, the people should take them in their hands and lift them over the heads of those who are Jess modest and less worthy.
 Your early attention to this letter will much oblge,
 Very truly yours,

 For answer, 1 have to say, what 1 have always thought and felt, ill regard to the office of United States Senator, that 1t Is one which ought neither to be sought or dec ined. If, as you suggest, it may be the pleasure of my fellow citizens to place me in that high position, it would become my duty to accept the trust, and endeavor to discharge the duties of the station to the best of my ability.
 I have no claims to any office or place That is for the people to bestow according to their free will and choice. While the good opinion of my fellow citizens is very dear to me, and 1 would esteem it an honor to be called into their service, it is due to myself to say, that as one of the pc ,ple, deeply interested in the welfare of Ot our State and common country, 1 should rejoice for some man to be found, better qualified or more worthy than myself, to represent Arkansas in the Senate of the United States
 Thanking you for your kind expressions towards myself, I remain with respect,

 Official Information for the Clerks of Craighead, Greene, Mississippi and Poinsett Counties
 The Governor has furnished for publica- ton the subjoined copy of an opinion of the Sollcitor-general of the State of Ar kansas; to which we call the attention of the clerks. and all other persons interested, in the counties of Craighead, Greene, Mis-. sissippi and Poinsett, in this State:
 A COPY.
 LITTLE ROCK, June 11th, 1860. ELIAS N. CONWAY,
 Gorernor of Arkonsas.. SIR-On the case presented by the letter of Mir. Sutfin, clerk of Craighead county, and which has been submitted to me by you, l am of opinion that, as the county of Craighead has no representative. the poll-books, as to representative, will have to be made out by the clerks of Greene, Poin- sett and Mississippi, and sent to the pre- cincts, or into the territory in Craighead formerly belonging to those counties, re- spectively. These poll-books will be of course for representatives in the legislature only. The law in reference to senators and members of the lower house, treats the territory as still belonging to the counties from which 1t was taken in forming Craig head.
 But as to governor, member of Congress, and all county offices, and in fact all other officers, political or judicial, to be voted for by the people; the county of Craighead would vote as any other county, and the clerk thereof will send out the poll books to each precinct in the county; emitting only the columns for senator and represen- tative.
 This will cast on the clerks of Greene, Poinsett and Mississippi, the necessity of making out separate poll-books for repre- sentattve, to be sent to those precincts now embraced within Graf ghead, and taken from those counties, respectively, by act of 18th February, 1859.
 This is the result of the law, and it is the only y way that confusion can be avoided
