 Mr. Rssrdoa. The Democracy of tais county met in convention on last Saturday, the day fixed upon at the Sulphur Rock meeting iOr tine purpose of se- leeiing delegates to the January Democratic Con veniion. The meeting was fali one; as large as any Democratic meeting ever held in thls county.

 By ihe motion of Major Bevens, seconded by Dr. Chapman. Col. Pelham was called to the chair. and on motion of Judge Scott. Major Bsvens was aP- apolnted secretary.

 A committee was appointed 10 draIt resolutions and recommend to the meeting suitable names as delegates, who reported the names of Col John Martin and Dr. J. E. Pelham as voting delegates, and number of others as supcsnumeraries.

 Considerable discussion was had, upon ihe adop- ton of the resolution appointing those delegates. upon the merits of the dideFeat candidates for Gov ernor and Congress, some eontsnding that the dele gates named were known to be in faSor of Governor Drew and Col. Johnson, but notwithstanding the objections made, inc reSoution carried by vote of more than two 10 one.

 Upon the whole, greater unsnimiiy and harmony prevailed than was generally looked for aed, al- though there was some unpleasant brushes, which have no doubt the parties, when they get little cooled. will themselvesTegret. The Whigs were not little disappointed at the result of the meeting.

 From every indication of the signs of the times

 am of opinion that Coi. Johnson will receive the vote. in convention. of most of the Northern co,n,ies. and although there is some restIessness with some few and talk of an independent candi- date. give you my opinion. there is no stronger man in Arkansas that Robert w. Johnson and if we cannot succeed with him, it is not worth while to try any person else. This talk of an pendent candidate is an old thing here. It was once tried against Judge Cross, and many threats were made against Col. Yell, but it was no go. Ii failed then and will again. having never, at any time. done more than unite the true Democracy and bring them to the pols and hen this is done, they are always invincible.

 An impartial observer, in trip through the north western counties, cannot but be struck with the powerful effect produced in his favor. by Colonel Johnsoa's circular. Another evident fact, more fully developing itself, daily, is the sinking popu- iarity of Col. Ashley Indeed it has always been conended that Col. Ashley's strength in the north east was entirely ephemera and from present indi- ca ons, it seems that this is tue. The novelty of being personally impoituned for support by Sen ator has worn off, and it cannot be denied that the course of the Democrat, for the last months has greatly injured him. He once created great sympa- thy, because he had no paper to defend him; his friends now have reason to sympathise with him because he is too well defended. It is predicted here that he will throw his editor overheard before another election.

 Crops of corn and wheat have been good, gener ally, in the norh Some little cotton in this county which makes tolerable turn oui. Yours,

 A HOOKER ON.
