Letter signed J.B. Crockett, St. Louis, to John F. Darby, care C.C. Zeigler, St. Genevieve, Mo. States that The Union and many persons are charging that in 1846 Darby voted for Bowlin against Wright on the ground that the latter was a native. The talk is so strong that Crockett advises Darby to telegraph his defense of the statement to him. The Bentonites are making a tremendous effort and will poll a heavy vote though not large enough to endanger the Whigs, but they will lead the Antis considerably in Crockett’s district. Bowlin’s speech at Carondelet was as violent as possible, abusing the Hards without stint. Crockett expects on Monday night there will be a rich scene when the two parties get fairly pitted in a discussion. He hopes Darby has made many votes in the lower part of the district. “If you can poll the Whig strength your election is certain.” [filed 1850], 1850 July 27
