the Albany Daily Advertiser, shows that the
democrats of that State, or some Of them, are
not to be blinded by an eqnvocal letter which
comes cut on the eve of election, nor dragoon-

 Beyond this verdict we have no desire to go.-And we are willing to believe, with the Jury, that Mir.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER cAsEs.-The tri- al of Mr. Perrault, and the verdict of the iu- ry in his case, force themselves on our con sideration, despite our wish to forget them.- Of Mir. Perrault we personally know nothing. From what we hear of his general and accred- ited character we are willing to believe, and do believe, that up to the time of his connec- ton with the Citizens Bank, and how long after we will not undertake to say, he was an honorable and honest man. That decep- tion, duplicity, and dishonesty, were the char acteristic and leading features in the manage ment of many of the Banks of the State and of the country, IS now too notorious to ad- init of doubt; and if the officers of these in- stitutions proved recreant to their duty and false to their trust, perhaps evil example had as much to do with the corruption of their course as innate immortality. But our busi- ness at the present writing, is not with the immortality of banks or the dishonesty of Bank officers it is with the trial of j. B. Per rault and the verdict following that trial

TEMPERANCE CIRCULAR. No. 2

At meeting of the Arkansas State Tem- perance Society of Little Rock, on Monday evening, Dec. 4th, 1S43, resolutions were passed suggesting to the State Temperance Contention, expected to meet here on the 22d Feb, 1S44, the propriety of making an effort to establish a Temperance Newspaper, as one of the means for more general diffusion of facts in relation to the eru of Ietempe- rance and the good of Temperance. The undersigned, in the discharge of the duty as- signed them in this matter, consider it unne- cessary to say to the different Temperance Societies in the State, that INHERITANCE is an EVIL which, when seen in its true lght by the people, will be avoided. The object o the paper will be to present Jus euit in its true light, not only to the few who may choose to attend Temperance meeting occasionally when one may be held, but to all, to every individual, family, and household in the State, if possible.
 We ask, is not this desirable? Is there an evil in the land, should not all be made acquainted with it, and its baleful conse- quences Is there an enemy in our midst should not aH know it And knowing it. who among us, would cease to make wal upon that enemy, as long as he was found in the field, and until his hosts were disbandet and scattered2 And those who had hereto. fore served in the ranks, or as officers o the hot-blooded, and crazy-brained, TYRAN1 WHIsKEy, be induced to join the mild ana republican standard of PRESIDENT CoLD- WATER. If then it is desirable that all should be made acquainted with the sad consequences near at hand and more remote, resulting from the use of intoxicating drinks, in what way can this object be accomplished more easily and effectually than by the establishment ol Temperance Newspaper, whose cireuiatioT shall be co-extensive with the inhabitants o the State, and whose influence shall be fel in every county, town, neighborhood, anc family throughout it's broad extended surface
 We hope the delegates will come here pre-. pared to act, and act efficiently in this matter as in all others which will promote the on ward march of Temperance.
 Papers throughout the State will please publish the above.

 From the history of ofTemperance Societies, in their triumphant progress, since their first origin, 1t Is abundantly evident that nothing has contributed more to their success than the circulation of Temperance Newspapers, pam phlets, &c., believing the temperance cause will ultimately triumph in every community where its true character and principles are made known.
