One Good Reason.

One of the best of reasons why Gen
Armstcad should be sustained, is that
he is the only representative of the South
side Of the river, that is before the peo.
pie of that county. Although two hfths
of the vote of Franklin county. is on the
South side of the river, not one of the
EIGHT nominees of the democratic party
is from the South side, but every one
from the North side. This one thing oft
sell, should at once have conceded to Gen
A Armstaad- nbo Epes thu South .siia
the nomination without an effort. We
hope that when our Franklin county
neighbors look at this matter calmly,
they will come to the conclusion, unani.
mously, to present the name of Gen,
Armstead for their Senator.

Shall we Have a County Conv tlon

Theirs seems to be diversity of opin
ions among democrats, on the orestion
of the necessity of holding a County Con
vention, We are seriously and decided
ly fixed OF the opinion, that a convention
IS the only safety and guarantee of sue
Cess. BY democrats running two or three
candidates for the same Office they are
very sure to elect a republican. Let the
primaries, proceeding the County Con.
vention, be fully attended and the ohjec
tion to the convention system will be
greatly obviated. We hope every town.
ship will meet Saturday, or some day be.
fore the County Convention, and send ur
Delegates to the Oliver Spring conven
tion, Saturday Aug, 9th, that a full and
fair expression may be had on the con
vention question. Our advice is, to GO
prepared to put in nomination complete
ticket Such q course would result ben
ificially to the democratic party and give
more general satisfaction to all, in the
winding up of the campaign.

GEN H. B. ARMSTEAD.
FRANKLIN COUNTY. July II, Ii


FDrToR VAN BuRrN Press On last Satur-
day was present at the county convention
of Franklin county, the proceedings of which
were ordered to be sent to the Press for pub
lication. From those proceedings you will
see that Franklin has instructed for Witch
as her choice for State Senator. l an clearly
of the opinion that Gen. II. A. Armstead is
the choice OF the legitimate voters OF this
county. In the townships where there was no
contest, the vote stood eleven for Armstead,
and twelve for Witch. Logan township,
which gives two votes and which unquestion-
ably ought to have been cast for Gen. A. was
given to Witch In the convention by strict
party vote. At the convention in Logan
township, the vote was taken twice for Sen
ator. The result OF the first was sixty-three
votes for Armstead. ard sixty ythree for Wit
itch. OF those who voted for Witch, two
arc citizens of johnson county, and two of
White Oak township, making four who are
not legal voters of Hogan township. AT the
second vote, siXty-six were for Armstead and
sixty y-nine for Witch, in which, in addition
to the four illegal votes mentioned. nine Sec
ton hands on the Fort Smith and Little Rock
railroad voted. I hese eosmopoltes were hun
ted up and formed into line by Wittich's
friends In order to carry the township for Hmm
Such are the facts as developed before the
county convention OF Franklin county, and
had the true principles of democracy given
direction to the action Of the convention, Gen.
Armstead would have been declared the
choice Of a majority of the democracy OF the
county. If we would keep the party pure.
we must discountenance and rebake fraud
and corruption, whenever they become mani
fest. 1t is an axiom in politics, the truth Of
which all history and experience have DEM
onstrated, that when an individual or party
resorts to fraudulent and corrupt means to at
tain to office he will not be free from fraud
and venality when in office.
At the township convention of Prairie
township, where Gen. Armstead has lived for
the last ten years, and been engaged in the
mercantile business which has brought him
into business relations with nearly all the
people, 1t was so nearly Il unanimous express
sion in his favor. that the few who would
have voted for Col. Witch did not even form
into line to be counted. The people who
know him best, are well satisfied that Gen,
A. has the qualifications necessary to make an
efficient Il ,,tss!slator, They know him to be the
refined. educated and intelligent gentleman,
possessing sterling integrity and unbending
firmness, that all the holders of bank, levy.
and railroad bonds, cannot. by any undue
influence, cause him to swerve one iota In
maintaining and defending the rights and
interests of his constituents. The contest
between Gen. Armstead and Col. Witch will
come up before the district convention, when
all the facts will be fully set FORTH and what
ever may be the decision of the convention,
the people OF Franklin will acquiesce.
FRANKLIN.
