Withered in one short luckless night,
Where’er thy breath had blown.
You nipped my buds, and spoiled my vines.
And filled me with dismay.
An enemy I called you then,
A foe to garden, field and glen;

now pour its rich produce through the

new section can hardly Ik* overestimated.

It has become api*arent that the oppo

amounts to nothing serious. - Our article

was tua<ie of was true, ami the j*eople
know it. It is believed that they polled
tlieir full strength in the nomination ami
cannot run much above tliat.
But Farmer Arnold's friends have been
claiming tliat in the other end of the
district there w as great disaffection. They
have claimed tliat Duncan’s friends were
sore ami rebellious, and tliat they would
not rally to Hammond. We are fortu
nately able to present tlie most undoubt
ed contradiction to this claim this morn
ing. This contradiction does not
come from anonymous correspondents,
or from obscure citizens, but from well-
accredited gentlemen, talking over their
own hand*, and giving responsible utter
ances. They speak deliberately and
knowingly, and show that the opposition
will not muster a corporal's guard in
Houston and Crawford.
The friends of Firmer Arnold had bet

the opposition to Hammond is sweeping
