 a MR. EDrroR-In my former communica- dtion, on the subject of Dr. Walkers address to the whig convention-which assembled att Little Rock on the 18th ult, intmated that : at convenient time l might take passing anotice of Col Fowler's speech delivered on ! the same occasion, and as then alleged, and : still believe, for the same purpose that is to , say, both speeches were intended to form the 7 text book, with the creed laid down, by which : the whigs of Arkansas were to be governed, : and shape their action accordingly. Coll AFowler, after congratulating the convention Supon their harmony, unity, and coincidence of opinion, andt in quite genteel style, pay Sing the expected compliments to the men off 1their choice, to wit Doctor Gibson and Mr. Walker, slopes right down upon the demo- ! cratic republicans, drops the complacency s land urbanity exhibited in his exordium, and aassails them in spirit of bitter vituperation !, and, by way of derison, applies the names aof locofocos and s' fresh water democrats' to- athem. He asserts too, that the democrats Shave stolen the name from their tthe whigs) ) E arepublIcan fathers, "and covered 1t over with athe slime of locofocoism." These express aslons seem to be unnecessarily harsh, but as

 athey have come from the '' deeeney party,'' I Ssuppose 1t must be all right. But that there sIhas been any stealing on the part of the dem

 Soerats, in assuming the name, utterly deny ; sand assert, that whatever knarerJ may have been practised in claiming the name of demo- scratc republicans, it has come from the other sside of the house and that this assertion can Abe established beyond the shadow of doubt ( It is freely admitted, as Col. Fowler asserts,

 $ that many of the whigs of the present day ahave descended from worthy and patriotic afathers; but if we take the signs of the times, Band experience and observation, for our guide

 5in forming opinions, we shall find any thing

 lelse, than that all the sons of these noble

 asires have followed their example. In order

 ito negative the allegation of political larceny

 jmade by Col Fowler against the democracy

 5of the country, 1t is only necessary to have sIreferrence to political occurrences which give

 Jidentity and contradistinction to the adverse

 aparties. In 1924, when the great canvass 'lcame on for the election of President to

 asucceed Mir. Monroe, John Quincy Adams, SGen'l Jackson, Mir. Crawford, and Mir. Clay

 awere all run by their respective friends. Of 1.-the electoral votes cast, Gen'l Jackson re- aceived ainety-nine, Mir. Adams eighty-fou

 sMr. Crawford .forty-one, and Mir. Clay thirty-

 areceived the highest number of votes; but Hneither receiving majority, as required by 3the constitution to decide the contest, the
