Nov. LIST, lS45.


GENTLEMEH:-l see By the last Banner the
friends of Gov. Yell arc becoming quite uneasy.
they are trying 10 create the impression that
ca. Ashley Las no friends bu, Wigs. profess
10 know very lllte about the prospects Of Yell
OF Ashley IN any OF tie coun les except the one
IN which live, and if The Banners correspon.
dents will take tho trouble 10 visit this county,
IN place of finding Col. AshIey's friends "few
and far between" they will find them toerably
thickly settled, all good Democrats at that. The
people OF this county are unwilling 10 remove
Col. Ashley merely 10 crafty Gov. YeIl's dis.
position 10 chonge Office every election.


five are rgtlly informed tie Gov. served one
term in the Tennessee Legislature and finding ir
difficult TO ascend the bill Of fame much higher
IN that State, lie accepts 4 Judgcship aLt ilavC5
for Arkansas. In u few years We become a
STATE, and he is sout frs! mcmter 10 Congress; a
single term satisfies him, aud he is elected Gov.
ernor. Before his first term expires he resigns
and takes tho track for Congress again, contrary
to his wish. his friends now say The story may
be true, bot | saw tic GoyorHor a: DardeGeiIo,
in this county, on the 4lh of May and he was in
the best hsmor ever saw any man who was lust
commencing IaboriOusjob against his will.

any man might bc proud Of aud we had iondly
hoped 10 see him elected again and again, but to
our surprise and modification he informs US that
he can serve US no longer as representatives,
lis friends now tell US there is a grander station
that will shortly become vacant, and If The Gov.
can't be the "master buck" in the pen, he is not
willing to lie in the pen at ai Well. suppose VIC
remove our talented fellow-citzen Col Ashley.
and honor the Governor with his station; VIC
ant reasonably hope 10 be bcst with his services
longer IIIun oHe term. suppose lie would again
accept Judge OF Governor in SOM of the
territories. or remove TO Texas und continue 10
deyour the small craft tIat might attempt 10
crdisa in his range. have voted for Gov. Yell
with .hv ulnest good Will in every struggle he
has had for preferment in this state. and if no
were now conteniing against an enemy TO h
princlpcS, would follow his standard though
mrh, X, ow he was at tile head Of a forlorn hoJo.
Bat n see him attempt (aiter having put his
cncna q ID highlj to turn his batteries on his old
friends and supporters and risk DIVISION anI
utter de, .ruclion Of his party. am one OF his
Old friends who i.els bound 10 part company and
oppose his ambitious views.
