Dear Clarke.


The democratic meeting, truly expressing the
choice OF this county for the nomination for Con.
gress, came off to-day, the proceedings of which
you will will no doubt receive by next mail. The
proceedings speak for themselves. The facts sta
ted are .undeniable. and have the endorsement of
honorable and respectable men. A correspondent
OF yours from this place week or two since by
chance stumbled upon one truth, when he said
that "two thirds of the democracy of Washington
county are not to be overcome" Little did he
think his remark would so soon be verified. Viii.
sons friends refused to meet. 1t was not so with
Oldham's when q township meeting was held
here and Wilsonsfriends called a second


Oldham's friends attended, and carried
the township again. The desire is to avail them.
selves of nomination, obtained by u degate dis
regarding his instructions. The choice of th.
county cannot bo doubted.


You will see the convention expressing full
" confidence in the talents and democracy of Col.
Geo. w. Clarke" have recommended him for
elcctor.


Tho regular meeting of Benton county ca mo
Off last Saturday, which the spurious affair of tho
18th Nov. was knocked into cooked hat


Yours, BLACK JACK
