MR EDiroR.---Since the appearance of an article in the Arkansas Banner, headed .'Who should be United States Senator ," 1 feel disposed, like one ef Jobs coinforters, to say that will also shew miue opinion And in expressing my opinion. will pay all due respect to the opinions of the .sAeuora- blc men' who may chance to differ with me upon the important subject.

 have no hesitation, Mr. Editor, in ex- pressing the belief that there has been an un- holy crusade gotten up hy Col. Ashley and his friends against Governor Yell, one of the purest and best democrats in the Siaie--a man of sterling integrity and unwavering fi- deli,y have for many years atimired his character, both as man and as politician. am, also, frank to confess, that have, for q lime, admired the political character of Col. Ashley; but have known him much shorter time as public man than Gov Yell, and much less iavorably-Ga iasaperabie ob- iection-and the only one I will mention, is, that he is too great farorite riA our PoIlica! opponents. And il has always been settled maxim with me, when having to decide between two democrats--all personal considerations out of yiew---io select thc man who Is most obnoxious and objectiona- ble to the whig party. This, sir. is enough for me, aside from other considerations give me that man who IS most feared and hated by the whig party, and nine times out of ten 1t will be right then, sir, am em- phatieally Yell man bul, al the same time, am too good democrat to set my judgment in oposition to a majority of the democratic party. My opinion is, and has been, that whoever is the choice of maios- ity of the democratic members of the Legis- lature when assembled in convention. he he Yell, Ashley, or any other prominent demo- crat, whose politics are, like Cesar would have had his wife not only pure. but s.aboye suspicion" that choice, say, should meet the approba,ica of every democrat in the State. Let such an one be the man in pref erence to any political hermapkodite that is now, or may be brought into the field. Col Ashley certainly took bold democratic ground to ali outward appearances in the United States Senate for which am bound to re- cognize him as democrat; and as mem Der of the Legislature would vote for him, should majority of ihe party in convention SO determine; bu, even then. it would be a dose like the molten lead which the King of PoHtus was forced to swallow.

 The Editor of the Banner has enumerated several prominent democrats as suitable per sons for the office of United States Senator, among the number, our representative in the Legislature, ,aslber. Rust must be perrfit- ted, Nr. Editor, to place upon the catalogue of names, that of our distinguished and iai- ented Col William Davis, than whom pu- Ter democrat dnes not breathe; fully compe- tent to fill with honor to himself, and csedi, 10 the State, that responsible office His head has grown gray in the service; and the campaign of 'iS, will feel the ,alismanic ir- haence Of his powerful eloquence, for haz- ard nothing in asserting that he is second te no man in this or any other State, in poin. ol talent aud devotion to the democratic cause.
