Co., Reardoa:

 Dear Sn-TO-dsy was the time set apart for meeting of the democratic citizens of this (Crawford} county, to be holden at Van Baren, for the purpose of appointing delegates to attend the State Convention, al Little Rock, on the first Mon day in January next There were, however, but few present, and the meeting =.''"urned, to mec, three weeks from this date; at hich time, ii is hoped, will have a ful meeting. The failure, on this occasion, appears to be attributed, by here. who ever seeking scape-gosts for their sins, to desire on the part of those, who will not saecomb to their dictation to disorganize; but this s but another hambug of their own fancy-;he real cause of the failure Of the meeting, con eeise, is this the majority of the peopl- of this county opposed 10 the wild. premature and un- just prescription now being waged against Hon. R. W. IoHSseS and knowing: that there is cer- tain Juata of saasA juggiers about Van Baren, who will eUery possible, prevent the dele gates from being instructed to go for Joaxsos they choose not 10 have any hand in the matter. Hence the failure; but hope next trial may have a fall nee,ing of the people from ,hs county and if delegates will b. instructed to suppoxt JonS- SON as the next nominee for Congress. The a3ea oi his being bitterly Prose rtbed by the Ashley '.y- nasty" at Little Rock, and the Egyptian Mummy of western humbuggcyy, sufficient evidence to the pesqae that he is a worthy man.

 By the by, the idea of such ex-ofice holders a. the editor of the Ds'aOerat, trying to cry down DREW, on the score of ineficiency to serve the State to sdeaata3e. is considered here ss ricA,
