CRITTENDEN COUNTY, ARKs.

 MR EDITOR :-I claim small space in your paper, in which may communicate to the public, some thoughts upon the political aspect of things in Arkansas.

 To the keen and penetrating observer of passing events, many under-currents and cross-currents will be diseoyered-much ma nuevering and management to promote this mans interest and that mans ambition will be seen The political waters are being troubled, and what an effort will be made to step in, some to the Senate of the U. States, and others to the House of Representatives ! Already do .scoming events cast their shad- ows belore," and we see men begin to com bne for or against particular persons. We see the Van Buren Intellgencer and the Hell ena Journal, array themselves against the po- sition assumed by the Banner. and openly oppose convention. And why? Forsooth it may iniure Col.

It is represen- ted as being the work of a few political as pirants, who desire to step into Gov. Tells shoes, by forcing him off and making him take Col. Ashley's seat in the Senate. and thus dispense with Col. Ashley altogether. If Col. Ashley's claims upon the people of Arkansas are well founded, and paramount to those of others, he and his friends have nothing to fear; for the democracy of Arkan- sas will duly appreciate them A .faithtul public servant need have no fears of his con stituents. know that Gov. Yell has no fears for his claims. when presented to a peo- pie he has long and faithfully served; and he IS willing to abide their decision. l hope, then, that all opposition to a convention will cease, and that nothing may be said or done calculated to disturb the harmony and due organization of the party. And if the en- tire demolition of Gov. Yell be necessary, in order to ensure the success of our princi-
