Dear Clarke:-I am not disposed to start a RI
valry between Oldham and Wilson, but cannot
refrain from dropping you few lines, in haste,
to set public opinion right, as to the positions of
these two aspirants in circuit.


Before Oldham was spoken of as q candidate.
Wilson was preferred before all others in the fol-
lowing counties Madison votes, Carroll ..
Searcy l, Marion /. Benton was opposed to him
all the time; Newton was opposed to him all the
timo; Washington was divided, and public senti-
ment was not ascertained, up to the time that Old
ham came out. Now the matter stands, WASH
ingon though much divided will go for Oldham.
5 votes Benton 2 Newton l, certain. Madison
Carroll, Searcy and Marion casting 6 votes though
it was understood and admitted, were for Wilson
against any man then spoken of, are now uncer-
tain and although Wilson has many friends in a Il
these counties, yet Oldham is very popular, and
many years before Wilson was REGARDED as
a public man, tavorite.


The expression of the counties of this Circuit.
in their primary assombages will be for oldham.
Now, mark me.


Your Correspondent of this place, whose letter
appeared IN your last paper, although friend Of
Wilson, admits that Oldham might have GOT q ma.
ory of this Circuit if he had 8 been out sooner. ,,
but believes, as it is, Wilson will get it. He can
rest assured that Oldham is out time enough for
it to be known in every corner of the Circuit.
and as the people only preferred Wilson because
'Oldham was not T" out sooner" they will 90 for
him if he is out soon enough.


Rest assured of one fact, that washington will
not leap into the lap of the clique this Jump The
Convention will be attended by full delegation.
