OUR TICKET.

The Ticket selected by the Conserva,
tives Of the Sth Senatorial District, at
their Convention in this city, is in all re-
spects good one, and should, as we are
confident it will, receive the united vote
of every Democrat and Conservative in
the District, who has the good of the
party and the welfare of the down trod-
den people of the State at heart. With
out word Of unkindncss for any of the
gentlemen running as independent candi
dates, there should be no boiling or
scratching of the regular ticket, at this
time, among the opponents of Radical
ism-measures not men, should actuate
every man of us. No name on the
ticket should be hazardcd by personal
preference for any gentleman running
independent. Let us abide in good faith
by the wishes Of the Convention and
cast solid vote for the nominees

No Registration in Benton County.

We call the attention ofGcv. CLAYTON,
to the fact that in Benton county his ap-
pointed Registrar refuses to open Books
at all. With the Governor must lay the
responsibility The Bentonvillc Trarel-
er speaking of this matter says:
Citizens of Washington county, onyou
devolves the political battle of this scna-
torial district. Do your duty-register
every man Of you and give them an extra
scorching for the sake Of Benton. Even
though your success may be contested
and you ultimately thrown out entirely,
and have no voice in the administration,
let them suffer the humiliation that in
spite Of all their frauds and chicanery
they were badly beaten.
The Radical party of this senatorial dis
trict, are acting under the assumption
that you are thoroughly intimidated, and
will not dare to oppose. Hence they
think they have numerical majority in
your county. Notwithstanding their oft
repeated boasts that they can carry Ben
ton also, they dread to test it even with
the most unjustly stringent registration
Bat fearing the great majority that would
be given by Benton against them, would
counteibalance their majority in Wash
ington county, they throw Benton coun-
ty out entirely.

tration, appointed for Benton county, is

islature by the Radical party, not to reg
lister this county.
Can you, will you, Republicans ofWash-
ington county, bring such disgrace upon
your party, encourage such frauds, or
pamper to such greed for office DO you
not see, that the man who will sell mus
will sell your interests at any time the
price is offered. Some of you condemn
men for selling out to Brooks. VIII not
this man sell to him? Others Of you con
denim a man for selling out to Clayton.

ton bids for him. What assurance can
you have, that a man who Will practice
such fraud, will not at any time and to
anybody sacrifice your interests to his
own? The man who has not the sense
of honor to refuse TO do positive wrong
for any consideration, has not the hon
esty and uprightness to keep from doing
it at any time, if he can do 1t and escape
punishment.
If our registrar would register this
county however so strngently, his partl-
zan friends might excuse him. But to re-
fuse to do so entirely, when there are
many as true, loyal and radically Repub-
lican men in it as himself. shows plainly
that he is looking to the success Of the
nomination, which will send him to the
Legislature He fears that so many men,
as true to republican principles as him
self, will register, who will be opposed to
him, as would defeat that nomination.
But further This registrar does no
only violate what is right between man
and man. He brakes his vow given to
God. He has committed perjury to Sc
cure that nomination. He has taken the
oath of office, and has sworn to fulfill the
obligations of the position. When he
thus swore to God, upon the Holy Bible,
that he would well and truly execute the
obligations thus assumed. he knew posi-
lively he would not do 50. And yet this
man is member of a church. He is rec
ognized as a christian. Christians grasp
his hand in brotherly fellowship. o, Re
pubicans of Washington county, will
you, can you, send such a man to repre-
sent you and Benton county in the Leg
islaturel VIII you impose such a dis
grace upon Benton county?

ave are pleased to discover that the Press
is desrous of advocating morality and pro-
gress, we never heard it charged with this be-
fore and we are truly sorry, OH account of
the Press, that the pr0Vessipe candidate,
whose name it boosted" to its masthead,
will not consent to run. If the Press keeps
on IL may yet find man that will suit its
ideas" - Herald
The Editors of the Herald go out of their
way in noticing our reply to their article on
congressional candidates to cast a sur upon
DR.. John kirkwood Of Little Rock, whose
name was announced in our paper Whether
he is n progressive" man, IN the eyes of the
Herald, or not, matters but little-one thing
however, is very observable and conceded on
all sides-he is an honest man and commands
the respect of all who know him, and one
whose profession and calling would not dis
grace any Congressional honors that might
be bestowed upon him.
If the Herald chooses to make the applica-
ton OF our remarks, last week, to their can
didate, we have nothing to say. 1t is matter
of their own counting. The friends of Gen
eral Edwards know very well our position,
and we have declined making any allusion to
him or his canvass whatever; but the Herdld
Editors in their dctatorial zeal arc detcrmin-
ed that we shall be driven, to either eSpouse
his claims as an independent candidate, or to
make fight on him. We decline to do the
former, and have no desire to do the latter
and it lays entirely with "llonest John" and
his advocates, if we do so, or not
Whether the Press was ever charged with
advocating morality" or not, cuts no figure
at this time, we ale no candidate for Office
but the Press like to see in those that are a
little of the godly virtues as well as most OF
the political requisites in candidates seeking
we to infer that the HcrdlPS candidate is
weak on the morality" platform?

HON. THOS. EOLES.

This gentleman agreeable to previous
notice, addressed an audience of about
one hundred citizens, mostly Conserva
tives and Democrats, on Monday last, at
the Court House. No man, perhaps, not
within our recollection at least, has ever
addressed the people Of this county that
created so great and supreme disgust
among his own party friends, as did Mr.
Boles yesterday. After paying his atten-
ton to the Democratic party, in few
rambling disconnected remarks he turn
ed to q personal abuse and vituperation
of Col. Mcconnell, one Of his own poll
teal faith, and of all the low down, vul,
gar scenes, the audience present never
before witnessed. Even Capt Britton,
the champion of Boles in this city, hung
his head with evident shame and mortif.
cation We are making no defence of
Mcconnell, he is able and did defend
himself, and in such spirit and high
toned gentlemanly bearing that Mr. Boles
had not gentleman in the audience, even
among his own partizans, that justified
him in his low personal attacks on him
Mr.. Boles lost friends by the course
pursued here ycsterday-men that were
for him before are now against him. He

Our friends of the Herald.

In two recent numbers of the Fort Smith
Tri-Weekly Herald, we find that our friends
are terribly sour over the management and
result Of the Convention that assembled on
the 81 inst, at this place. Doubtless the Fort
Smith delegates feel that they are warranted
in their sly filings at Van Burcn, Crawford
County, Franklin County and at the country
delegates from their own county, but for the
life of us we cannet see the policy or deep
wisdom displayed in such open and repeated
manifestations OF it. If Fort Smith failed to
secure candidate, by endorsement, from
Fort Smith, it does seem to us, that from the
HerdiTs own showing, it was only because
the delegation was either opposed to the can
ddate offered or thought Fort Smith had
alread about enough. There was no nnanim-
ity among the Sebastian delegates, and only
two Tor three perhaps seemed to favor the
nomination Of Mr.. Fishback.
Now, because the rest OF the delegation
would not abandon their preferences and
bow to the desire of two or three from Fort
Smith, they are TO be accused of stocking
the Convention" The delegates who oppos-
ed having candidated nominated from Fort
Smith, did so, so far as we could ascertain,
simply because all the people in the Sth Sena-
torial district do not yet reside in the aiore-
said city, and their interests are not ccntcred
in the county seat question, and further Fort
Smith has the State Senator. a candidate for
Congress, and strong aspirations for many
other things.
Aside from all this, is it fair TO accuse Craw
ford County and the Greenwood delegates, as
the Herald is pleased to call those from the
county of Sebastian outside of the city (of
the .fr,t class of conspiracy to defeat the
win of the people, when the Fort Smith Del
egation itself was not thoroughly agreed. If
Sebastian bad appeared in the Convention
unit for MIR. Fi.hback, then there would be
some proprety in charging other counties
with stocking. if any such thing had in
fact existed.
We are not disposed to be drawn into a dis
cussion or newspaper wranglc about the ac-
ton taken by the Convention Of the Sd of
October. We can conceive of no good to be
accomplished by it, and it will assurcdly not
conduce to harmony in the Conservative
ranks, which is SO vastly important now.
We too, had personal preferences for men be-
fore the convention, that were not gratifcd
in the nominations made-but we went into
the convention in good iaith, and for ourself
intend to support the nominees and also to
abide by the preferences expressed for DR.. l..
G. WHITE. If we had not SO made up our
minds we would have kept out ot the con-
vention entircly-not growled after our de-
feat, if such it can properly be called
