A. H. RUTHERFORD, Eso:

 Dear Sir-I have time to say but few words about the Crawford county Conven- ton, which took place to-day.

 It was pretty well understood from the drumming-up movements of certain indivd- Nals that there would be general congrega- ton of the friends of Col. c. Ashley and sure enough 1t was an Ashley convention. don't think there were three men in the meet ing favorable to Gov Tell. But don't come to the conclusion that Gov. Yell has no friends here, for he has many, even more than the famous number of 1s25." The fact is the friends of Gov. Y ell in old Crawford are mol, "lew and far between,' as the lntelli- gencer would have it believed; but they are numerous and generally belong to the labor inG class in society, who are not very noisy about their political sentiments. They were fully sensible that they could not compete with the intrigues of tocn packed conven- lions, which seldom or never reflect the will of the majority, apd they wisely staid at home, with the strong determination to be heard next August, at that place where the will of the people is never deleated-the ballot box.

 | don't think there were more than half hdozep individuals in the convention from the Fort Smith side of the river. The conven- ton nominated the following persons as candidates for the Legislature, Eli Bell, Geo. W Clark and Felix G. Axe.

 After the nomination, resolution was oi- lered. instructing the nominations, if elected to vote for Chester Ashley first, last and for ever. Quite.a debate arose on this resolu- ton, in which the chairman felt 1t hls duty to participate The worthy chairman, al though ke Cardinal Wolsey a s'man oi un- bounded stomaeh' could aot gulp so strong dose and after considerable argument the substance of which is that SO strong dose would never lay on the stomach of the peo- ple, but would be wholly thrown UP and elected, thereby losing the benefit that might result from a moderate dose, the resolution was modified by simply instructing the nominees, # elected 10 go for Chester Ash lev for U. $. Senate The resolution then went down as slick as oil (castor;) but thought could see in the countenance of some, the spasnlodic grimace wlcli IS usually produced by generous dose of thls excel lent medicine.

 The whigs so far as l have heard them express themselves are highly gratfied with the proceedings of the Convention.

 You shall hear again from 4. Y. K
