tS- Gen. Bowen asserted, before the Con-
vention met, that nominated him, if he did
not get the nomination, he would run inde-
pendent against the nominees, provided the
Conservatives would not put man against
him. This is the man, that now asks honest
Radicals to support him-a candidate of a
packed convention. We think he has ascer-
tanned by this time, that it is as well to be
honest in politics as in all things else.

since to announce the decease of the Faycttc-
vile Radical, an infant of tender years. We
are again called upon to perform the melan-
choly duty of announcing the departure OF
the Fort Smith Standard, another infant OF
tender years These infants were both rash
ly brought from the North, in the wrong sea-
son of the year and had not become acclimat-
ed. hence their untimely demise Had they
been properly nursed, no doubt, we might still
have them among us; but the awkwardnes:

unfavorably and they are gone. Peace to

sB Bowen told his hearers, what few he
had on his canvass, that the Radical party
was a unit now. That DELL was "harmon-
lied and was working in the traces beautiful
ly," or in other words, he had whipped him
in. Bowen's object is to create the impress
sion among the Ne,o Eras friends, that it de-
sired his election. The truth is, Dell is as hos
