Editor Arkansas Democrat:
My attention has been called to seve-

the effect that | had entered into some
arrangement or combination with one OF
the aspirants to the United States sena-
torship, for the purpose OF influencing
the coming senatorial election. As these
insinuations are evidently made for the
purpose of sowing dscord among my
friends, think it proper to say publicly
that they are wholly without even the
slightest foundation. As governor OF
the state, | think Improper to attempt
to use any Influence i'll the senatorial
election. That is a matter that belongs

done anything that could give rise to the
statements or destinations | have refer
red to, and which are pure fictions.

the Van Buren, Press question rs to
whether we have any doubt Of the truth
of the statements Of the gentlemen run
ming the gins referred to last week, we
will say that we know they would not
tell an untruth, but we do know that
somebody has nravto II mistake. Mr.. Ta-
cy, of this town, has n postal card from
Col. King, stating that $50 of the 500
bales he ginned, were from Franklin
county. Also Mr.. Bryant reports $50
from this county. In your report, if we
mistake not, Crawford is given 300 bales
from Col. Kings gin, and $50 from Mr..
Bryant's. Now has not somebody made
mistake?
Our friend Colburn seems to have gone
off halfcocked." Before he intimates
that the gentlemen named have made a
misstatcment, he should first know he is
right, then go ahead. Without going
any further than to compare his returns
with those Of our own, we find ours to
be substantially correct, as made in the
table published by us a few weeks ago.
Our report from the gins in controversy
was as follows
| Bryant % bales.
| Obard's lbs bales.
Kings 276 bales.
Tho mistake you will find at your own
door.
