The Arkansas banner., 1845-09-10

Il has been the usual practiQ of our party,
 when we elected man to offie, to consider him a candidate for re-election,un he ex- pressly declined This was he case with
 Col. SeVier, during the many 5ears he was
 the delegate from our Territort So 1t was
 with Gov. I Fell, when electei to Congress
 immediately after we became aState; and so
 also, with Judge Cross, who succeeded him.
 The last election was an exception. Then Judge Cross and Gov. Yell toth expressly
 declined reelection, and then, possibly,
 there might have been a necessity for a Con-
 Vention, to reconcile the claims ofthe several
 candidates. But what was the result? Why.
 a Convention was held in Dec 1843, which
 the people refused to submit to, anl called
 another in April, 1844, which did na result
 as tremendously as could have been wished i In the succeeding elections, we carrid the candidate for Congress and the Electors, ,aom- mated by that Convention. But did that
 Convention produce harmony No, sir far
 from t. It did more harm, and produced
 more harsh feelings, than any other act he
 party had ever done. The north believed
 they were swindled out of their just rgits
 by the wire-wofking of certain persons Il
 that Convention, which resulted i'll the r.
 fasal of the candidate lfor Governor) iron
 that part of the State to continue in the field
 do hot say that this WAS actually so, buJ
 that the north believed it 10 be so, and still
 thinks that she was agerieyed and her rights trampled upon, by the last Convention, will
 not, think, be denied by any. G
 Those were the only Sete Conventions | (cailed by the democratic parry ever held in
 orr State. We have seen their effect. Will
