Coon qualifications for Congress.-The Albany Argus gives this account of the col lege qualifications boasted of to recommend Coon to a seat in Congress -
 The Troy Whig, a concentrated Clay pa- per, while enumerating the qualifications of Joseph R, Williams, the whig candidate for Congress in the western district of Michi- gan, particularly expatiates upon "his swift ness of foot,0 and his dexterity i'll kicking the football on the college green at Harvard University. This is certainly new point of distinction i'll the character of a public man, and qualification so singular, that no one would speak of 1t but those who underrate the intelligence of the people as to the true grounds of popularity among them.
 It is piece of the same political texture that in years past claimed support for dis whig, because he was < six feet high, and well proportioned.o
 The democratic opponent of MT. Williams (Lucius Lyon) is plain, farmer-like charac- ter, whose strong arms, in early life, were in felling the heavy forest. And though we doubt whether he has ever heen at college, or had the honor of kicking a football upon college-green, yet we believe the hard-working farmers of Michigan are sufficiently keen-sighted to repose more con- fidenee in the practical character of man who has been thus bred, than in the interest," ing accomplishments of this favorite whig candidate

If, by any means, they can array democrat against democrat, thelr object IS at tained. We, though holding the true and cardinal principles of the democratic faith, are like strands of thread when separated, easily broken, but if united, by proper and eff cient organization, all-poweful. Now, all that is necessary for our exertlng that power which we unitedly possess is that we blend our little differences come haunonlously to- gether; yield fraterlally one to the other, ln all minor matters; lay down our blckerlngs and jealousies, and submit ourselves one 10 another, in the pure faith of democratic re- publicanism. All who desire 10 retain fife inheritance of our glorious constitution un- impaired, and keep that old coon from squdt- ting into our national white house, there not only to destroy .!32t sacred instFument5 but send his bands of soldiers to prevent our squatting npoa the public funds, and also make for himself and the other coons, a plain road into the pockets of the people, and sad Olt national debt, as well as bank, must be up and doing. II we desire to keep these rag barons from the helm of power, let each county organize herself, and choose delegates for our State Convention. The importance of the measure Is more than enough to coun- terbalanee the expedieney of a few weeks.-- They cannot be true friends to our cause that would advise us to quarrel over days Could not all the counties in the State, or majority of them, yet hold meetings, state tht day they prefer, and whatever day preferred by most, would be the day for the democra cyl But, above all things, let us be united let us show well trimmed froEt, and sl things in good order for the coming contest Let Arkansas sons remember that we are on of the noble few that adhered firmly to de mocracy, ill the hard cider campaign; an' that it is only organization that will enabl us to uphold those principles.

 Fellow-demoerats, the enemies of our principles are the cunningest in nature ialsehood and deceit have been their play things from their first organization, in the days of the elder Adams, down to the never to-be-iorgotten campaign of Tip and Ty. with all the paraphernalia of pipe-aving, briblng, coon-sklns, and hard cider.

MR EDIToR-Permit me to suggest to the democrats of Pulaski, through the medium of the Banner, the propriety of holding township meetings, on the second Monday of November, to appoint delegates to conn ty convention, at Little Rock, which conven- ton, l propose, shall be held on the third Monday of November next, for the purpose of electing delegates to the DEMOCRATIC State convention, as recommended by the Banner and Helena~J Journal, to be held at Little Rock, on the first Monday in December. next, to nominate candidates for Governor, member of Congress, Ssc. would suggest the pro- priety of each township appointing as many delegates to the county convention, as justices of the peace they are entitled to in each town ship. This plan, l think, will please the majority; who, if they are up and doing, old Pulaski will be well represented in the State convention fevery democrat will take duly into consideration the vast importance of this convention, and the beneficial results it may obtain for his country, he will be on the qui cire, and not allow so important measure to pass without his indefatigable exertions in its accomplishment.
