From te .4,kunsas Htelligencer. ARKANSAS STATE DEMOCRATIC CON-
 MENTION.

MEssRs. EDIToRs-Permit me, through the columns of your paper, to call the atten- ton of the democratic party of this State, to the great importance of holding, at some suit able time and place, State Convention, for the purpose of selecting suitable individuals, as candidates, to fill the several vacancies which the people of this State will be called upon to fill at our next general election. In making these suggestions, am aware that there are some whose high-toned feelings of political honesty will be most cruelty shock ed. know that there are deep-rooted pre- iudices existing, in the minds of some, against all conventions for this purpose. And so there are against all measures which have for their tendency the triumph of democratic principles. Let but movement be made which has for its object the promotion of un- ion, and concert of acaon in the democratic ranks, and 1t will be received with conster- nation and dismay by the opposition, and denounced and villifed by all those who fear a fair and equal contest
 Their reasons are obvious union with us, is utter ruin to them. For well they know that, let but the whole democratic party unite to battle for the success of principle ;-let them lay aside all private feelings andprivate interests, and join as band of patriots, to contend against their great political, enemy , let them unite and strike for '' free tNade and equal rights,p and the downfall of bank mo- nopolies, and high tariff oppression, is inc vitable.
 But we are told that a measure of this char acter does not meet with opposition from the whig party alone. From whom then does Ii come? Is 1t from members of the true demo- cratic party? This Ideny A charge of this character would be islander upon any mem Der of that party! But there aeas party. {fif indeed 1t can be called a party warmed into existence at the City of Little Rock, last winter, under the fostering care and protec- ton of one Albert Pike, Esq, of Real Estate Bank notoriety-composed ofthe disatfected and disappointed of all parties-clristened -by its noble progenitor, < The IIotch Potc Party !'-the true object of which was, te produce dissension and discord in the demo cratic ranks, and more especially to glorliy its noble ieader.!
 From this source we may expect opposf ton. From this source we may expect tt hear the echo of that opposer of all true de mocratic doctrines, in open denunciation o l this measure.
 Their own interest prompts them to 1t, to well they know, that they have nothing t expect from the hands of a free and intelli gent people, unless they can effect such a d vision as will neutralize their strength. ltii from this source that we may expect th' most unrelenting opposition, together with few others. who are desirous of promotion And they are men who wish office, withou ability to discharge the duties incident to tha office Distinction without merit, and pro

COL. NOLAND. AGAIN

To THE EprroR.-This individual is out again. m one Of his organs, and admits that he published in his card, falsehood, in saying that had been allowed by the Bank fue Mousand dollars for selling her bonds He admits that he published ialse- hood, in saying that drew eight dollars day, as member of Congress, while was serving the Bank. and he does not deny the third falsehood charged hlin with, Tn stating, that in my speech at Bates- yllle, complained of the allowance made me by the Bank for those services. He admits that had been lund and servceabe to his fier, hsnsei and brother He admits that he was dismissed from West Point and that he IS a renegade in politics. He admits tha he was present. and shed no tears when the Presi- dent was burnt in effigy al Batesville and that he afterwards partook of that gentemans hospitality. He refuses to answer my interrogatores relative to his bank charges although he voluntarily introduced that subject himself and he winds up his episle by stating that he is ready to afford me satistacoa And here we have new panacea for wounded honor. He IS told by some 'tate-Geare," that in my speech at Elizabeth l made remarks refleeting upon him and his partners ana instead of requiring an expla- nation and if that explanation refused or were unsatisfactory, demanding satisfaction for the grev- apSe.he adopts the more novel and easy mode of ad- justing his difficulty which is, to pocket the offence and card the offender. After those admissions and this display, the Colonel continue his journey to the Nashville races, and in future state and publish what he pleases concerning me, with the assurance on my part that whatever he utters or publishes will never provoke response, attract the notice of

An event very interesting to the farmers of the United States, recently took place in Eng land. It was the declaration of Sir Robert Peel of his intention to throw open the ports of England to foreign wool dnty' free. This is avowedly for the .sprotection'' of the man. ufacturers of Leeds and Halifax five look at the wool and woollen trade of England, in connection with the capacity of this country to produce wool, there is no reason to doubt but that the farmers of the United States may become as important to the manufacturers of England, as arc now the cottoa-pIantcrs.

Rosewood, Sept. 27, 1913. MR. F., IroR-I am just able to sit up, after g very violent attack of fever. My family, too has been thrown into the deepest and atilietion by the sudden death of our youngest daughter; and cannot, consequently, be expected to notice the editorial baIeies contained in the last North ArlSan- sas, winch has this moment been handed to me. cannot, however permit one statement the Editor makes, to pass unnoticed. He says I stated that Arkansas owed to Col. Sevier, the donation of the 500,000 acres of land granted her by the Congress of the United States l never made any such state ment. My statement was, that Col. Sever was entitled to the credit of proposing an amendment to the section of the bill granting the 5O0,000 acres which section limited the selections to iands subject 10 entry at pyipate sa'e; and by which amendment, all the public lands which have been supeyed, are liable to be selected. This amendment, which opened all the choice lands of the State to selection and which gave than double value to the dona- ton, was carried in the Senate, Con Col. Seviers motion,) and afterwards became part of the law l did not suppose that even my worst enemies would be guilty of the act of putting language into my mouth, which never uttered and then making it the foundation of an attack upon me, which will not characterize and yet such has been the course which this Editor has pursued towards mo. make no further comments.

A sale of 400 bales of American manufactured
Cotton goods was advertised to take place IN
London. This was rather a novel announce
ment, and created considerable attention.
Cotton was very dull, and prices rather deprcs-
sing owing to the favorable report Of the Amer-
can crops.
Corn markets throughout the country were
depressed.
In the London Money market was nothing of
especial interest The intelligence received from
the United States, of the improved condition of
moneytary matters on the other side of the Allan

London has caused some attention TO be directed
to American State securities, but as yet there ex-
lists great want of confidence in every dcscrp
ton of American bonds. Some surprise has been
expressed at Mr.. .Jaudons arrival in London, ana
it has induced many people to entertain the opin-
