THE REACTION.


The last Banner displays list of the counties,


in which meetings have been held, aad gives their
results. In dong this, however, the editor omit
ted to state, that in ma jority of these counties,
the nominations Of Drew and Johnson were pro-
cured by the trckery and WIRE working Of the
Clique at this place.


Already are the people of many of these coun-
ties opning their eyes TO frauds that have been
perpetrated upon them; and the low, deep mutter-


ngs of an outraged people rolling in from
narious portions of the State. In PERRY and
RAlRlE counties the people have already sPo-
Pen out, and declareed that ihov will not submit
TO the dictaton of small squad OF wire-workers
at Little Rock. Meetings, we learn. will soon be
called in the counties, at which the democracy
will have a chance to express their own sonti-
ments. In JOHNSON county, we learn, tho
people have already repudated the instructions
adopted al the meeting. and poll-books have been
sent 10 each township, for the purpose of procur-
ing a true expression Of their sentiment. When
these are returned we are informed, by gentle
man well acquitted with the sentiments of the
people of Johnson county, that the vote will be
SIX for OLDHAM to ONE for Johnson.


The meeting in Perry county, we have Is1rned
was one of the greatest farces that per-
formed. No notice lOhdterer tad been giren in
me county OF The meeting; and informed
that a minor, who had not resided in the county
over two months, was the chief tor on the occa-
slon and after the meeting organized, hc.
pulled out of his pocket and presented n set of
resolution, proposing himself as the voting dele
gate! This, however, proved little larger dose
than they vera able 10 swallow, and they there
lore struck out ms name, and elected some one
else. The resolutions were then passed, about
TEN persons voting!! The Cliqne have made
sad mistake, if they think that the democracy of
Perry are to submit, quietly. TO such outrage
this.


The notice for another meeting in Conway ap-
pears in our paper to-day. The hand Of the
Clique has been discovered by the democr racy Of
conway, and they have decided TO hold another
meeting, IN which the democracy of the county
may speak out their true sentiments, in spite of
all attempts Of the Clique to muzzle them.


The schemes of the Clique have been success
ful In few counties; but their frauds are coming
10 light, and the wrath OF an indigant party is be-
ginning TO roll back upon them. The bali is al
ready In motion that is to crush them forever.

TREAcHERY AND EFFRoNTERy OF Santa Anna
In the New York Courier des Etats Unis, we
find an extract of letter said 10 be from the city
OF Mexico, toa Spaniard in New York, in refer
ence to the demonstrations of the Americans upon
ChaPultepec, or Mill del Rey, on the 18th of Sep
tember. 1t will be recollected with what effron-
terry the truth loving Santa Anna threw back Gen.
SCOTS charges of breaches of the armistice heap
ing insult upon infamy by attrbung to General
Scot, violations Of the same, and other acts three
fold more gross than those of which he, himself
had hoo ,l,op,
lmPudens acknowledg dgement, in the letter referred
to, shows the full justice of Gen. SCOTS charges


I" Our Generals were prepared for them. Pre-.
vious to the breaking [termination] of the armis-
tIce, Santa Anna had taken care, several DAYS
before, to provide the fortress of Chaputepec, in
all possible ways, without exciting suspicion, with
arms, munitions and provisions The security
and confidence of the Americans were so great
that powder, balls and provisions were carried
thther, either under the coaks of our fellow .cti
Zens or on mules, without discovery so that Gen,
Scott was greatly surprised in attacking Chapul.
