 misunderstanding the terms of service of
 the Judges of the Supreme Court to eie1t years, and providing that one third Of the Judges shall go out every fourth, sixth and eighth year. We are sofrysfor it. We be- lieye the ground on which the amendment was made, to be radically wrone--and we trust that we shall live to see tho systen, changed We will never cease to liff our voice against it-and our feeble efforts sha! never be remitted to place the Judiciary on a basis not to be shaken by Legislative favor-
 tism or revenge, or popular fickleness. It may be long before any letter system is adopt- ed-but the change will be made. We will never rest till the Supreme Judges are ap- pointed during good behavior .Hark our words, the people of Arkansas will in q few years rebuke this Convention, by amend tng the Constitution in this particular. Ne vertheless, we dc not blame those who sup ported the present brief tenure of office. Most of them agree with us as to the other great principles of Liberty, but honestly and sincerely differ from Us IS 10 the Judiciary.
 It was not ofthenl We spoke as demagogues.
 1t was of the one or two disclaimers who speak and act us though the wisdom of bygone ages had waned into nothingness before the m- mortal brilliance of their own surpassing ge- nius and knowedge--of those who think that the men who framed the Constitution of tho United States were merely in the tioiiigm which preceded the broad day of political knowledge. We look upon them and think, as some one has well expressed 1t, that tive sec strutting to and fro the sons of little men blown up with vanity, in land where tradi- ton not yet old tells of race ofgants.o We have something to say to them hereafter. Our correspondent at Jonesboro was rnista- ken in bis account of the numberki at San Antonio. Below is the correct account. The Gazette thinks he must have referred to the number present at the battle. With all deference to the opinion of the Gazette, lie rl- tended no such thing. He just simply intond- ! ed and said what we stated in our last. Ills informant was mistaken, as the Gazette's in-
 formants sometimes are.
