The above is the closing paragraph of
a long editorial in the last Van Buren
Press. 1t will be seen that the editor of
that journal has great love for the con
stitution and is far from being recon
structed.-F Smith Standard.
1t is amusing, with what bold assump-
ton the pie baled " Radicals, that are
imported South to hold offices and man
age the political affairs Of the States, at
tempt to dictate to the people the manner
and matter of their conversation. FITcH
thinks we want reconstructing, because
we express great love for the Constitu.
ton and want it preserved. 1t is, no
doubt, in the estimation of such arrogant
"hybrids" disloyal to express such q
desire, but we can't help it. The days OF
intimidation, foot burning and torture, in
Arkansas, have gone by.
The great crime of President johnson
with these fellows, is his intense love fol
the Constitution, and his desire to cling
to it as guide in these perlous times.

James Gregg, Esq, Of Lees Greek Town
ship.

We learn that the election for delegates
to 4 Convention, under the Military bills
is appointed to be held on Tuesday III,
9TH day Of October next. We believe, also
that odious and detestable as the Con.
gressional plan of reconstruction is re-
garded, that the great body of our people
have determined to take part in the cleo
ton. Under the apportionment of Gen
eral Ord, Crawford county is entitled to
but one delegate. The Conservative I'm,
ion men of Crawford county cannot per.
NIT this election to go by default. II
would be an ignoble surrender of their
most cherished principles to permit a
miserable Radical faction to assume the
control of this most important election
Who then ought to be the Conserva
tive standard bearer for Crawford coun
ty? We have no hesitation in express
ing the opinion that the gentleman whose
name heads this notice will, if a candidate
for the Convention, receive the support
OF majority of the good and true mer
of Crawford county,

twenty years citizen of Arkansas and Q

sense, clear head, a sound judgment

He never was an office seeker. Conf
dent that Mr. GREGG will yield to the So
licitations ofMs many friends, we have
taken the liberty to announce him as a
candidate for the Convention from Craw.

capable of acting rs judges and clerks of cleo

This is an acknowledgement from one of
the most bitter Radical papers in the State
and true to the letter. Such is the class OF
men, In connection with the negroes, that
Congress attempts to put over us and to make

capable of being judges and clerks of elec-

1t is impossible to form any correct idea as
vet what would be the political complexion
ofthc convention. Much depends upon the
manner in which the apportionment ofrepre-
scntation is made; and more upon the manner
in which the boards of registration use thcil
powers to revise the lists of voters fourteen
DAYS before the election. The mGteridl OF
some of the boards, is calculated to create dis
trust as to the fairness with which they will
use their powers of revision. Excesses upon
the part of partizan zealots are to be expected
