sented, (not as fnlly as we could have wished did not urge the claims of any par ticular person from their counties, in prefe- renee to the merited claims of conspicuous individuals here; as was anticipated before their meeting-for either the membership to Congress, or the office of Governor.

 The selection of candidates for Congress and Governor, were readily agreed to from this city. Col. ,Absalom Foaeler, received the nomination for Congress, unanimously, Frederick ". Trapnali, Esq, for Governor.

 Col Terence Farrelly, could have received the nomination for Governor, but, desired his friends not to urge his claims before the con- vention, as it was not his wish to obtain the nomination. Col. F. was the leader of the Crittenden party here for many years; and was for long time very prominent and useful member of the Territorial Legislature ; and also, a member to the Convention, ill 1886, that adopted the Constitution of Ar kansas. He is bold and powerful advocate of the whg principles, Henry Clay, United States Bank, and tariff for protection, &c &e.

 Under ali the circumstances, l do think, that the uhigs have been blind to their inter- est, in not procuring his eminent and useful talents, in the approaching canvass. This is the great battle, and it must be manfully fought, contesting every inch of ground The democrats have able and popular men in the field, and btey must Dc beaten.

 Major Thomas w. Newton's claims stood high in the convention for Governor, and would have been nominated for that office in preference to Tapnall, had he been entire ly clear of the weight that the Real Estate Bank would have brought upon him. It is probably, well enough he did notreeeive the nomination under the circumstances, for if he had, the Democrats and the 'sBanner,n would have spoiled his prospects, and sig nally defeated the whole party.

 Col. John Preston, jr., of Helena, Jesse Turner, of Van Buren, and Dr. James H. Walker, of Hampstead, were unanimously chosen Electors, for President and Vice Pre- sident. Col c. F. M. Noland, of Batesville, William Owens, Esq, of Clark county, and Col. David Walker, of Washington county, were unanimously chosen Delegates to the great National Whig Convention, to be held in Baltimore, in May, 1S44. Many other things of vital, importance came before the Convention, of which you shall soon hear. The next Gazette, will furnish you with the minutia of the proceedings.

 Fight well the battle in the North, and your reward is certain.

 In the greatest haste,

 faithfully, yours,
