Ma EDrron: Slr-siaes saw yOu have ne' had time to wrse you even short letter until new.

 have lately received several letters from gentle men in the south-east counties. from which am convinced that the people arc ia favor of A demo- cratic convention In January. They also think there s disposition manifested, by some, to divide the democratic party Into factions, and that there will be some dificaty la uniting upon men who will be most likely io produce perfect harmony In our ranks. They, therefore, think would pro- bahiy be best to attempt 10 unite on some persons who have henssofore united the party. They think thai. inasmach as R. ". JoHSsOS is now our Con- gress member elect, and that having once united upon him, that we can probably do so agaiu' And has been unusual heretofore to disPlaee rep resentative before he has had any opportunity ct proving his ability to serve us, very naturally ask the question, what has JoHSsoN done 10 forfeit his claim to a re- nomination. If thers Is any thing st fault, let us know it. His is suggested herc with due respect, and only for consideration.

 It Is supposed that Gov. DREw will be before the convention for reelection from motives higher than those of ambition or selfish intcrest. Ills claims should be duly considered, and the democracy  have united once upon hiaf, the same observations will apply to him with due deference to the claims of other aspirants for that office, who held in high estimation by in their section of country

 But convention composed of men aciuated hy dsintercstcd and patriotic motives, will settle all thess things to the satisfaction of the democracy, and 10 the good of the country.

 You speak, in the last Blnner, of set of reso- iutions purpOEting to have bceu passed by "a na- merouSly attended meeting of the citizens of lief fersoa county in relation to the conduct of the Ar kansas troops in Mexico" We have not heard any thing of any such meeting here. Since the arrival of the Banner, have asked several respectable men about il. and none of them hays heard of il. So nm inclined so believe that they did not originate in Jefferson; for although we have two or three black sheep in Jefferson. tsy have not been in the habit of sending their communications 10 the Banner.-- You hsve no doubt, cone right in suPPreSsny their publication. and set good example, which we hope will be followed by others. Such things do not ori- ginate in Jeffcrson they are manufactured abroad, and then attempted to be palmed upon us.

 Yours. respectfully. SOUTH EAST.
