The Des Arc weekly citizen., 1861-10-23

Like the people generally, we have been slow in coming to a conclusion as who was the most competent in the distinguished list that has been increasing every week Tor a month past. We have no doubt, that without an exception, they would represent fairly the will of their constituents if all could be elect ed. But this is out of the question, and as a journalist, it is our privilege to select from the crowd the one we are willing to give our undivided support to. In doing so we donot pretend to dictate to others. We shall vote for s. F. ARNETT, Esq, believing that he pos sesses the honesty and the ability to fairly re- present this District in the Confederate Con- gross. gentleman of enlarged views and having freely mixed with the people of the State for long series of years-being we'll acquainted with their wants-to our mind he is THE man for the position he aspires to. In supporting him we do not intend to war upon others. These are no times for elimination and re-crimination. We want sober, clear headed men in the Confederate Congress. We claim that MT. ARNETTpossesses these requi- sites, and shall freely support him.
