 "ARKANsAs-GooD NEWS i-The iavora- ble intelligence we published a day or two since from Arkansas, Is confirmed by later information. Capt, Uorman, of the steam boat Louis Philip" direct from Little Rock, reports that every county in the State bad been heard from, and that the Whig caadi- dae for Governor was elected by 259 maio- rity Also that the Whig candidate for Con- eress, Dopid TYalter, was probably elected We understand further, by gentleman of Arkansas, who is in our city, that when he left no doubt was entertained, from the re- turns received, that the Wings had carried the State,n

 In this suspicion we are moi alone. The Wash. iagton Globe alluding to our elections has the fol- lowing, which should be borne in mind by all Den- ocrats, and induce them to keep close watch over allWhig Post Masters. That there are some honor. ble Whig Post Masters we know; but, as general rule, they are not trustworthy.
