Democratic Coaeention.-A majority of the counties of the State have already held their conventions for the purpose of electing delegates to the State convention,
 In most of the counties heard from, they have passed resolutions expressing their un- bounded confidence in Mr. Van Buren, and recommending him to the national conven- ton as their first choice for the Presidency. The democracy of Arkansas arc as firm in the support of their principles as eser, and throughout the State, there seems to be but one determination, and that is to sustain the party even at the sacrifice of personal likes or dislkes, and of local preferences; also to adhere te the nominations of both Staie and national conventions.

 How admirable, for instance. is hi, of supporting the doctrine of a profess riff! He will first tell you that the t,.I needed to shield the domestic mannr..

 But some one is hardy enough to suo| that a man has right to buy where hs buy the cheapest; that the protective has the effect of raising the price of an ar1 to consumers, who are the great body of 2, nation, and whose interests, therefore a,s most important. What says your tariff, then Why bless you,'' he replies <, are altogether mistaken! A protective i, has no such effect as you suppose. It1 not raise the price of the protected conn dity, but on the other hand, actually dimn es 1t, so that our own manufacturers com sell 1t at less rate than 1t can be proe, from abroad Look at brass kettles: loo linseed oil look at coarse cotton goods, other wares.
