The approaching election for Delegate, even at this early period, appears to excite an unusual degree of interest Already have we seen the columns of the Gazette teem with numerous communications in opposition to Col. Desha. Before that gentleman announced himself as candi- date, and at a time when his friends had given Up the idea of his coming out, " e find the sagacious Editor of the Gazette and the "Junto," seized with an hectic. such as frequently take hold of the materi- al body previous to dissolution, and the heat of their distempered imaginations conjnre up sscon{di0ns, ,' "caucuses," DC Cd9,- dinats" and s'deuits, which seemed to stalk before them like the s'glost of Banquo." Whenever men in power and their politi- cal retainers, show by impatient alarm that they are affrighted at their own shad- ows. if is but rational to conclude that they have deeper stake than the public inter- est in issue, and it is time that every Free man should be on the look out and endea- vor to scan motives, as well as to examine with calmness the pretentions and merits of such men as offer their names as candi- dates for public favor

Desha as a farmer and Land l Officer-that it would require but little effort on the part of theit friends, to ena- bic the people at the ensuing election to decide between them. The friends of Col lSevier how ever, knowing the league exist ] ing between him and certain persons about 1 Little Rock, who have heretofore control-

 ed the only press in the country, and by l their united cunning moulded every occur

 acted as executive councillors in all mat

 ters of appointment, and gave whatever tone they pleased to public sentiment, un- der the assumed name of ss aoe the people, :" and knowing that tbe political iniqnities of this ssJnnto,, was too great weight for Col. Seyier or any other man to bear, un- | CT hard strain, have cndeavored to throw

 into the opposite scale Mir. Crittenden,
