THE GREAT PACIFICATOR.
NUMBER II.

NUMBER II.
 Three weeks ago, we examined the claims of Mr. Clay to be called "The great Pacif- cator,' in consideration of his course upon the admission of Missouri into the Union.
 In pursuance of the purpose then an- nounced, we will now examine his preten- sions to the same title, so honorable to him who deserves it, as based upon his course in relation to the :. Compromise Act" of 1882 33.
 Without going into any detail of the his tory of Mr. Clay's previous course, in the advocacy of high 1'arDs-and especially of the principle of protection, which was so mo- torious as to have procured for him the cpl thet of :. Father of the American System," it is enough to know, that up to, and during, the session of Congress of 1931-32, he was the very head and lront-the leader and mas ter spirit of the high protective Tarif party in the United States To him the Eastern manufacturers looked as their best friend their true and trusty counsellor, defender and advocate Him, the friends of agriculture, particularly in the South, regarded as the arch enemy, and the deadliest foe, to all the south ern and producing interests; and, as such, he was denounced by the southern press, and by southern speakers, on all occasions, and in the strongest terms. These are facts which no one will controvert; for they are part of the familiar chronicle of the times, and that part, of which MT. Clay, himself, has most boasted, as the richest gem of his crown offame-that part for which his friends have most lauded him, and his crawling sy cophants most humbly bowed themselves at his sordid shrine. Indeed, 1t is the very feature in his characteristic very circum- stance in his history-the very one, single, indispensable element of his merit, if merit it can be called, upon which, in this connection, rests his title to be called ssThe great Pacifi- catoro It was because he was the friend and advocate of high protective Tarif,-be- cause he was the champion ol the protection party, that 1t was called merit, in him, to yield up any portion of his cherished policy, and consent to a reduction ill the rate of pro- teetive duties, either present or prospective. To do this, was regarded, by his partisans, as yielding up so much of his hard earned fame-as dividing his very heart in twain, to conciliate his countrymen-as leaping, like Curtius, into the chasm, to save his country. So was his act spoken ol-so was he lauded flor this he was, again, called "The great Pacifcator.o
 Such, then, was Mr. Clay, during the ses- sion of Congress of ls3l-32 Accordingly, we find him, in his place in the Senate, striv- ing, not merely to maintain the protectire fea- ture of the Tariff absolutely unimpaired, but

 F. Very finely Sabnus, both in health and spirits. l am truly glad to see you; let me have the honor, and the exquisite pleas ure of welcoming you again, to the State of Arkansas and in behalf of the whigs, who your great services for their future good and welfare. They have every reason to believe that you will rival, if possible, your own great works of the ssHymns to the Gods" the pieces against ''Ultra Democra- cy," and "Sabinus," upon your return, and
 Sabimus. Stop, stop, F., that would have done me great deal of good, if you had given me such reception before the crowd to-day, which think was due me-
 F.. Sabinus, did not then have the chance, or should have done so with plea sure.
 Sabinus. Y ou have been looking out F.. How do things go on in the State, upon an average'
 F.. Very well Sabnus. You saw the symptoms ofgood times at our whig meeting to-day.
 Sabiaus That was another victory F., over the democrats, to-day.
 F.. The best in the world, Sabinus, the best in the world, sir.
 Sabinus. That was a plausible speech of yours, to-day, F.. It took we'll with the crowd
 F.. We'll, you gave them s'Law and Order' again, to-day, in your speech but not exactly as you did before. And when you came to speak of the Executive, could not help laughing.
 Sabinus. What did you laugh about?
 F.. You know a fellow can't help his thoughts.
 Sdbinus. No, go on.
 F.. Sabinus, did you never hear the tale about the man who cursed the Governor
 Sabinus. No. What does that have to do with my speech'
 F. A certain man, who was one of the yainest creatures in the world, wanted to make himself appear like a man of great conse- quence, some way or other. He assembled his associates together one evening, and ob- observed to them, 'sI cursed the Governor, to-day n' "You did," said one, syes, did l cursed him through creation and back

G1We yeild up our columns, to-day, to communications, and selections, of interest, which have been on file too long, for further postponement; and trust they will more than compensate for the omission of our usual amount of editorial. We would, particular ly, call attention to the lecture of Judge Browne, on the subject of Oregon. At the present time, it is paper of the deepest in- terest to our country.

THE CHEROKEES AND FORT WAYNE. We publish the following correspondence, for. the information of all concerned.
 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
 December, f6, lS43. ] SlR-I enclose yon a note, addressed to the Secretary of War, accompanied by a pe- tition, or representation of portion of the Cherokee people, on the subject of the occu- pancy of Fort Wayne, by military force, to- gether with his response to my note By publication of this correspondence, the peti- toners will learn the result of their applca- ton. The reorganization of the army, under the law of last Congress, by reducing our military force numerically, as well as in eff liciency, places it beyond the power of the Department to do much for the defence of our exposed frontier. We hope, however, to accomplish some modification of the law referred to, during the present session, so far at least, as to render the little force left more effective for the purposes of western defence am truly, yours, Sc.

 IMPORTANT AND SUccEssFUL SURGERY-- Within short time, one of the most critical and important of surgical operations---that for strangulated inguinal hernia or rupture---has been successfully executed, in this city, by our friend and fellow-citizen, Dr. Samuel B. Richardson.
 The subject of this operation is one of our most industrious citizens, and most happy arc we to state, that he is fully restored to health and to his ordinary avocations.
 This is the third operation of this descrip- ton performed by Dr. R., (upon both sexes all presenting peculiar circumstances of em- barrassment, and all crowned with most sig nal and complete success.
 fiji who are familiar with the literature of this branch of surgery, know that these uni formly successful results, are almost without parallel. Louisville Journal.
 We were gratifed to find the foregoing in the sjonrnal;" and have great pleasure in transferring it to our columns. It conveys, in brief statement of facts, a high eulogium upon Western Surgery, and just tribute to the merits of one of its most worthy and ac- complished practitioners. We speak, alike from the high reputation he has acquired, and from our own personal knowledge, when we say that the thorough scientific a,tainmenls, and eminent practical skill of Dr. RICHARD SON, constitute him one of the most useful members, and brilliant ornaments, of the me- dicat pfofession. And in calling attention tc these most interesting and important triumphs ofthe science, which we have left---but love itisGuls gratefulto our feelings to associate them with the name of most valued perso- nal friend.

FEMALE EpUGATIoN.---lt affords Us plea sure to invite the attention of our readers to the Card of Madame D'EsTIMAuvILLE, in our advertising columns. This accomplish ed lady has just arrived in our city, and pro- poses, as set forth ill her Card, to teach all the branches of a complete Female education She is furnished with satisfactory testimoni- als of her eminent competency to perform all she proposes.
 Without deeming it necessary, on this occa- sion, to urge, upon all enlightened people, the paramount interest of female education, and without reference, or disparagement, to the schools already existing here, we express the opinion that such an institution, as Ma dame d'E. desires to establish, would be q valuable acquisition to the most favored com munity; and we cherish the hope that it will not be suffered to fail of success, for want of due appreciation in Little Rock.
 We are authorized to say, that Madame d'E. refers, for her qualifications, and success, as Teacher, to Bishop OTEY, Rev. F. G. Smith, of the Columbia (Ten.) Institute; to Rev. C. A. Foster, of the Holly Springs (Ml.) Female Institute; and to Rev. Mr. Smeades, of Raleigh, N c

ANOTHER CONVENTION.

In our last paper, we stated that we were not authorized to speak for the nominees of the recent Democratic Convention, in regard to the holding another Convention. In our present number, Gen. CONWAY speaks for himself, as will be seen in the subjoined let ter. And, ill our next, we hope to be able to present a letter, of similar import, from Dr. CHAPMAN.
 The objections which have been made to the proceedings of the recent Convention are more general, and prevailing, ill the State, than we had supposed them to be. We are now satisfied that, to obviate them, and to insure the harmonious action of the party, 1t is desirable that another Convention should be held in which, if practicable, the whole party, or at least majority of the counties should be represented. This, we consider due to the late Convention, to the nominees, and particularly to the Democratic party, at large, in the State. We entertain the hope that such Convention, ''fresh from the peo- ple," will be held and at such day as will afford ample time, and opportunity, for eve county in the State to take the proper steps to be represented.
 It is not for us to name the day for the Convention but we will merely suggest for the consideration of the party, the First Monday in .May neat, as a day which will, probably, be most convenient to the largest number What is the opinion of Democrats in the various parts of the State, on this point' We would be pleased to hear from them, and our columns await their sugges- tions.
 More on this subject in our next.
 LITTTE Rock, ARK's. }
 January 9th, 1914. { To He Editor of he .4fkansas Runner:
 SIR---The chief objections urged against the proceedings of the Democratic Conven- ton, of the State of Arkansas, which conven- ed in the Capitol, in this city, on the first Monday of December last, appear to be, that a sufficient number of the counties, was not represented; and that therefore, the nomina- tions by the Convention, do not reflect the will of majority of the Democratic party. Having been nominated by the Convention as the Democratic candidate for the office of Governor of this State, accepted that nom inaton only because I belieued a had been made m accordance acuh he rH of he par 'W. If the Democratic party would hold ano- ther Convention, representing more fully their wishes, and conducting more to their union and harmony, should feel much gratiied, as man, and as Democrat. submit the mat ter for the consideration of the Democratic party; and should another convention be held, it is hoped that a majority, at least, of all the counties in the State will be represent ed; and that all good Democrats will unite in supporting the candidates who may be no- minated by it.
 I would never wish to hold any office, unless by the free will of those who had the power to confer 1t.
 am, very respectfully,
 your obd't serv'.
