My Dear Bob:-We are entire strangers, only
have read few communications of YOURS which
has given me history of your character and
perhaps you may think strange to receive this
from me; but when you see the contents, am
certain you will be>amused. Nov dear Bob,-
Judge Tuly spoke to a large assembly here yester.
day, the 25,h Of June, 1874. The number was
about eleven; he told us that he was ennbled to
prove :" hidden demagogings" in the democratic
ranks, and drew it out of his sadde-bags, a great
pile of documents, and turned and regulated all
his papers ready to prove all the assertions which
he might make, and then commenced he said that
he had been among us for ID yenrs-had filled
many high stations among us-he condemned the
truth Of all the newspapers of the democratic par
ty, and said that Doct. Scion had burnt the effigy
Of the hero of New Orleans-he said that Peudo
had said on one occasion, that soon as men
crossed the Mississippi they laid down their hon.
esty and women their virtue; that Sewer had act
ed very corroptly; and many hard sayings. topit:
that Sewer, Fulton. and Cross owned the Banner,
and had hired Solon to abuse him, and then com.
menced on Doct. Chapman; he said that he had
always been looked upon at Batesville, as a wing
that in lS4O the democrats had solicited him 10
run for the Senate, in order to bring him over to
their side, but he refused to run, and thd<p Iniy

gold for Congerss--then, dear Bob, he told US that
feudo had always been very whigish in executive
appointments; that he had always went for the
South more than the North Of the State; he said
ne was opposed to conventions. and SAID that few
demagogues at Little Rock had managed the
whole democratic party in the State, and then said
that ne himself had gotten up conrenfion in Car
roll county, and nominated Yell, and had him
elected to Congress.


Did you ever hear the like Bob. He then said
mat when he was in the Legislature, no had always
went for the North; although Bob, YOU know he
was equally bound to legslate for all parts of the
State alike; he said he went for Paschal for
Judge, because Sebastian treated in the grocery
and rendered himself beneath the confidence of
the people; he said if elected, he would have this
Rad completed, which had been commenced
Though the North, and that he would have White
river, made navigable for Steamboats, to Oxford's
Ferry, in 9 miles Of Fayetteville. Now Bob, when
he commenced to speak, was certain the victory
was ours, for he spoke all the while against the
party to which he pretends to belong. Yes, Bob
he abused Col. Ashley, and never said one word
against Arlington BIT, Bob, he crossed himself
in argument. in many places, Gf it was any ar.





TO hear HIM prove his assertions by his papers !;
but he just put them al up without reading one
word, and all tho evidnce we had of tho facts
was just his round statements.


After he was done speaking, the Col. had been
watching all his statements with Hawks eye,
lever true to his post asked him if no had always
looked upon Chapman as Il Whig? Response,
yes. BY Col. w. did you not recommend him to
the Legislature in 1910 democrat, and DO
inmate him as a candidate for President of the
Bank at Batesville? Iully S lid that he did no,
remember that ne did. Col. w.. you do. for

nails OF the Senate Of 1910, at page 2O6, Tuy
od nominate Chnpmau candidate for Pres-
dent OF said Bank, and on page ll2, of the Se-
nate Journals of 1913, Tully voted in substance,

his course in the State would do us great good,
but fear these things will be found out by the To-
cos. lie was opposed TO a contention; it is con-
trary, he says to republican principles, and held
one and nominated Petdo himself He ives opposed
to Peudos course in appointing Fowler, &C., and
! run Chapman himsef. who he says is a whig-1l
Now II the locos noticed that he crossed himsef
IN his sPeech.it will produce no change here-l
Now dear Bob, what can Tuly bo trying to % Il
from the course he j taking, does he think we
wish to use HIM in any other way than as atooi.
The locos have smalt men in their ranks, aid we
have too; and these we will run. Tuy my not

and Scion has probtd the matter and understands
the whole secret. was nearly certaipBob, his
speech would do usgreat good here, asae claims
TO run on the Democratic side, but he only made
the locos mad; he Syill not get one voc here; for
alter speaking against Sebastian for rea,ing, he
went went right into thegrocery all the oos and Col.

In conclusion, BIB, tell Feathers md Fuss TO
prepare more song, and send them d,wn immedi.
ately, for after III our trouble, we iave all our
work to do yet, fol the locos have phyed trick
on US by bringing out Polk and Dsas, and we
have lost the trout and labor of cars. What
can we start on pix, ask the Col. oil he knows,
and keep yourselfi in Fert Towsor and don't let
Sal find you out. br the case will be over with
you for ever, let ne know all the ews YOU have.
