ARKANSAS DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.
 We have pcrused with qualification the ad- dress of the Arkansas state Convention, to the democracy of that State. ltis well wri,- ten article, portrays our principles superbly, though it requires no effort on the part of the democrats to gain that State in the next elec- ton. She is already safe and ever has been; but we like to see our friends in all sections of the country doing their best in the cause of liberty and democracy; itgives a renewed impulse to those States who do not come forward with energy in the good cause for which we are now fighting against the min ious of federalism Arkansas has set no- ble example to her sister State Tennessee, to be up and doing, and not sleep with the enc my within her borders, barterlng awayfher rights as a State; but we are confident that Tennessee will come out he right side up in the coming election, when she finds that her own illusnious fellow citizen isso be eleva- ted to the second office within the gift of the nation. She will then. we are confident, stand redeemed from the federal shackles, which now bind her, to its cause.
 Arkansas has the best and most produc- tive soil of any of the western states; peopled with the most brave and chivalric people.

 NEW CONVENTION :-CouNTy MEETING, MR. EDITOR :-
 Several counties have moved in this mat ter, and spirit seems to be raised, which will doubtless, produce a new convention The dissatisfaction as to the present nomina- tions, is, dpprehend, of a limited character :; but the demand for convention Is placed ldpon far better ground, which is, hat it IS due as nell to the present candidates, as 10 the people themsefues, and that netc and full coaoeaion, aciH produce unity, harmony, and concert Of action, in the democratic pdrty.- We must be governed by maiorlties, and fl the present candidates are the choice of a majority, they will and ought to be nomina- ted if they are not, am sure they have no desire to force themselves on the party, and could not do 1t, If they desired. l am free to own, that think no better nominations could be made at the present time: and that they will be confirmed by the new convention, in case there should be one; not because they have been once nominated but, because, on looking around it will, think. be seen, that they are the most available men that could be chosen for the ensuing contest, among those who will run for office.
 Now, what wish to see Is.
