D,ar Clarke III now havea few moments leis
IVA which will devote 10 writing 10 you on the

ssciiou. Much has been and is being said on the
snbiect of our next Congressional election. The

sstate TO express il Is their decided opinion thai
he next Congress will be the most important and
.ormly contested one that we have ever had, and
bsrefore we are in favor of nominating man
!, Congress who resides in tho most populous
,,rt Of the State, and who is popular, talented
N 6pe speaker. With the democracy in this
fJrcuit JUDGE OLDHAM stands higher than any
,ber person who has been spoken of as candidate
or Congress, and, consequently, there can be no
oubt thai his claims will be more strongly urged
befo,e the Convention than those of any other

man from the 4,crlh or West 10 represent them.
Near eleven years have elapsed since our admis-

fine we have been represented in Congress from
BE South, with bat one exception and ask wha t

Esl. Were to ask the q!estion, what has been
iono for our Stale South of Little Rock might
pe answered that, that portion has never been for
Iotten-lhat it has been well attended to. We
lave been toId however, that we have no ma of
blents amongst us-that men of ability alway Us

sserlIon which we are not ready to admit as true.
Ne can see nothing in a Southern climate, or
bout cotton bags TO invite all the men of talents
