The 10th resolution denouncing dsorganzers as mo better tan TVhigs, and 'eHemies' to Democra- cy, conveys suggestion to Gen. Byrd, as pointed as it is severe and which he will not disregard unless he be as stupid as he is unprincipled.
 The 18th resolution places us individually, and as an Editor under weighty obligations to the Conycn- ton. Through it, they were pleased to declare their confidence in the fidelity and efficiency of our ser- vices in behalf of Democracy; and to recognize us "the approved and proper organ of the Democracy of Arkansas" We have no words to express our grateful sensibiity to this kind appreciation of our humble efforts, by those among whom we live, and with whom we are laboring in the common cause of our country In declaring us 'faithiul,' they have done more than justiee while, in saying we had been "eflicient,' we are conscious of their kindness in overlooking many short comings," The only return, in power to make, for this gen. erous consideration, of the Committee and Conven- tion will be to hold it in grateful remembrance; and. by our devotion to the cause, endeayor to make some. amends for our want of ability to serve it.

Our ex- penses very heavy; and we are dependent, for the of paying them, upon the receipts of our office Will any subscriber withhold that portion of our means, which yet remains in his hands We are unwilling to believe such thing of any of our subscribers Then let each and every one, in town md country, pay up what he owes. No paper can be carried on, without money enough to pay it's current expensea Those, therefore, who desire the success of orr paper, miu pay up. We do not ask this as gf or favor, bat as payment of just debt. There is money enough due on onr books, if paid up to sustain the paper efficiently and triumphantly Let it be paid up. and the work shall be done
 We have Agents throughout the State, who viii soccivc and receipt for us and all Post Masters will fosward us money. free of charge.
 Arlsansss money will be received at its current rate. of Gffy cents ia the dollar,
 We hope that the sense of justice, on the part ot es patyons will relieve of the necessity of making any further call for payment

Col. AsHLEY-Ths gallant champion of De- mocracy has returned home, after a months ab- senee; having completed his tour of the southern counties. He reached the city last Saturday eye- ming; having addressed the people at Hot Springs, on Thursday, and at Benton, on Saturday. Where ever he has been his reception by the people has been most cordial, and he has well repaid it by his able and eloquent appeals in behalf of Democracy.
 Col. Ashley left home with reputation, for tal- ents and eloquence, unsurpassed in this State and he has returned not only with that reputation great ly elevated and enhanced, but followed by the ad- hiring and grateful paudits of an enlightened peo- pie. So soon as he recruited from the fatigues of his recent trip he intends visiting other portions of the State, where the same success awaits him. The services which he is now rendering to Democracy in this State will be longand gratefully remembered and duly appreciated.
 On next Saturday, Col. Ashley attacks Whggery here in it's stronghold and calls upon it's chosen champion to come forward and defend it. We 'bide the result.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO HUMBLE YoUTH- Every boy in the country whose lot is cast in a station encompassed with difficulties may well take encouragement from the example of Col. Polk. His boyhood was spent in the humblest walks of life, and was devoted to the severe drudgery of daily toil. His father was surveyor, and in his surveying excur- sions, it was the business of his son to attend him for weeks together in traversing the rug ged cane-breaks which then covered the coun- try, through ali kinds of weather, to take care of the pack-horses and camp accoutrements, and to prepare the seanty meals for the com pany. By strict adherence to virtue, and a close and prompt performance of all his du- ties, he has risen, at the age of forty-nine years, to the high distinction of being the standard bearer of the great democratic party and in November next will be chosen to the highest office in the gift of freemen. Thus are virtne, honesty and perseverance reward ed .Nasheule Union

 ROBERT ". JoHNsoN's SprEcH-In the county Convention, last Saturday, while the Committee was absent from the Hall, Robt. " Johnson was loudly called on for speech. In response to this cal he addressed the Convention for about an hour His speech was plain, frank, but clear and conclu- sive exposition and refutaton of the foul islanders with which interruptions and yndictive personal and political enemies have sought to traduce the characterof Col. SEWER. He was listened to with great attention; and we cannot hesitate in the belief that every man present, Whig and Democrat yielded an irresistible conviction of mind to the truth and justice alike of his statements, his nerences, and his conclusions-that Col. SEVER, as a man of in- tegrty, and honor; and as high-minded patriot and faithful public servant stood proudly before the people, in public and in private, "wlthout fear and without reproach' The speech, whether regarded in reference to it's effect, or its own intrinsic merit was creditabe, alike, to the head and heart of its author.
