All HIS ldSt, IHlS FOul-ul0uIileQ OdTl- net, has favored us with q short chapter upon the ''signs of the times.a Hear him.

 "The recent election for Clerk of the Superior Court, has. we trust, satisfied the Canuass-hans clan, that their Chief is not so potent as he would fain make some (olks believe"

 We are satisfied, that the result of that election, has proven exactly the re- oersc of what Ashley's Printer sswould fain make some folks believe All with whom we have conversed on this subject, (and we have conversed with many persons, from different sections of the Territory, q number of whom, foo, voted for Mir. Field concur in saying, that if NIT. Biscoe had not been confin- ed at home by se0erc i'adispositior, or if he had even issued his Circular in sea- son, (which was not done until the 27th Dec, ice days jgore the election,) he would have been elected by very large majority.

 But let us examine into this boassed deteat-this route of horse, foot, and dragons. The official returns, (which are now complete, with the exception of Miller, in which county we doubt whether there was an election held elect MT. Field by majority of 352 votes; from which take 37, MT. Biscoe's majority in the two rejected townships in Lawrence county, and Mir. Field, in the zvhole of Arkansas, will be found to have the lean majority of 3l5 votes. A great gictory, asigna defeat. to BoAsTof, we must confess, when it is taken into consideration, that MT. Biscoe was un- able, from extreme illness to leave home until ten or twelve days previous to the election, and even then, so bad was bis health, that he was sepen days travelling from the Post of Arkansas to this place, a distance of only 100 miles.

 What was Mr. Field about all this time? Early in October he issued cir cuiar, with a string of recommenda- 

 lions attached, (to which by the bye, he ss s:scs::e indebted fo: lis eieoiiiol,.j from the Judges oi the Superior Court. and number of the members of the bar. They were .fransed by the Delegate, Col. sevier, and sent to every hamlet in Arkansas.

 i've beg leave here to digress from the subject moment, and ask if the people of Arkansas elected Mir. Se- vlerto Jrank the electioneering hand bills of the members of his PARTY ?-- We suspect they did not, at least that was not our understanding when he was acandldate. But to return to the sub- Ject. When Mir. Field learnt that he had opposition, he sat out immediately on an electioheefing tour, from which ne did not return until day or two before the election. About the same time, Col. Ashley left here for St. Louis, and while travelling through the Northern portion of the Territory, he spared no pains to advance the cause of MT. Field; and on one or two occasions, we " are informed, took greater latitude man a gentleman, under almost any cir eamssances, would have feltauthorized Y 'ase; and, at the heel of the game,
