NAVIGATION OF ARKANSAS RIVER.

We understand from the officers of s,eambn,ls
that have recently visited our town. that the dan.
ger attending the navi cation of this river. beIo"
Pine Bluffs. las been greatly lessencd BY the oP-
cru,ions Of tho snag boats that have been at work
in ,hn, portion of the river; removing the snags
and trimming the timber overhangIng the stream.
The boals did nothing, it is said. higher than
Pine Bluffs, on account of the want Of funds. tho
appropriation that was made having been exhaus'
ted. This we exceedingly regret, as we are con-
fdcnt that with energy they might in one season
ren Ter the river entirely safe between Napoleon
and For, Gibson.
! There is one great oycrsightn the management
of the snog boa!s that have operated in this river
which is, tina, they have been under the command
Of men who were no, residents of the State, and in
no.wise connected with ITS prosPcrt;, and conso.
quently could not take that lively nteres, which
should aclunte all who are engaged in 50 imPor.
tan. service. We do no, mean TO say that the
gentlemen who have had command of the boats,
failed in executing their duties, as they thought
promptly, but think that the end and aim Of gov
crnment would have been sooner reached by ap.
pointing to the charge of the boats. mon who had
a thorough knowledge of the navigation and its
dNngcrs-Arknnsas Pilots, who could 60 and
supcrnu nd the building Of boats of the right rizc
and construction to operate al tho low stages Of
water, when most good car be done; men whoare
interested in the work, and would take that inter.
es, which no stranger can feel. There are mon
Of this class that are competent TO fulfil the duties
with benefit 10 the Government, for they know
where the dangerous Instructions lie, and could
work more 10 tho advantage Of the Government
and the Steamboats,.
| The boats now under charge Of men who
come into our river and operate some two or three
are high, aud leave as soon as Summer sets in.
which is generally accompanied ty low water,
and is, therefore, the proper time for operations.
We say, let the citizens Of the business towns,
look TO this matter; lot them take it in hand and
make a proper Investigation Of the subject; and
if they find that there is any mis-managemen, Of
the boats TO properly represent them 20 the pow.
ers tina. be, ana seek that remedy which surely
cannot be denied them. We have not now the
time and spnce to speak on this subject as wo woad
wish bu, will revert to it again at an early peri.

GOV. JACKSON'S LETTER.
J. S. PAsLps, Secretary

We give below. the letter Of CHARLES JACKSON,
Governor elect Of Rhode Island. 1t is plainly
and unequivocolIy in favor Of the immediate and
unconditional liberal ion of THos. wilson DoRR,
who is now imprisoned in the State prison of that
State, for defending the rights of the poor md
oppressed. ngnns, the aggression and encroach
ments of the pririleged feao. We are glad to see
the manly spiri, manifested by the wings who are
in favor Of liberation; j, speaks well for .hc JUS
tice of the cause sustained by the charter p1rty Of
Rhode Island. In casting their vo:es for Mr.. Jack.
son, the Dorr party have expressed their conf.
dence in one who. though bitterly opposed upon
national politics, is not bound down by tina, mean
and oppressive spirit so plainly manifested by the
Algcrines of Rhode Island. Not only is there
majority of the people of Rhode Island in favor of
liberation; but a majority Of ihosS scho opposed the
measures Of The Dorr party; they oppose that which
theythink wrong in their oPPonents,anddo do not fail
to rebuke. and plainly dIsavow all illegal and
high.handed measures of their own party.

PROVIDENCE, April 5,h, ls45.

lion. L. u. I. CLMER, .NG" Jersey.
Drar Sir have Just received your speech on
the Rhode Island QUESTION, frankrd by yourse self. a
partial report of which | read, some time since,
with grea; pleasure. On perusing it again. an
happy to say that daily respond TO your doc.
trnes. As early as January, iS4l, put forth
similar views in our LrgisIature; | saw, then
that change IN our suffrage and representation
vas inevitable. The one was ultra conservative,
and the other "ro,en. borough" in its worst form.
The town Of jamestown, for instance, with 500
Inhabitants. had rs many represenatvesas as Smith.
field with 10000; Portsmouth with 100 as many
as this city with $4,000. Public attention having
never been powerfully concentrated upon these
inequalities, our Charter had worked well enough
up to the above period.
But when the people commenced forming suf.
frnge assnciltions, and prtltion'ng the Assembly,
it appeared to the time had arrived for opeu,np
the franchise and equaIzing tho repres"n,ntion.-
Had remedial measures been promptly adopted by
the government. the late disturbances in ibis State
would not. in my Judgment, have occurred. The
past, however, canno. BE- hell ped; and as much MS
regretted that the wishes Of the people were no,
met at once, did no, think the evils sought to be
remedIed we're sufficiently grievous to justify re.
sort TO revolutionary conluct. therefore oppns.
ed all the proceeding from first to last connected
with The Peoples Constitution" In short, |
II rded in forming the law and order party; and
bore arms, with others, in defence of the Charter
Government.
The People. ns You IRE aware. since that time,
viz: in lS43, formally ndopted the constitution un
der which the eosernmcn; Of the State is now or.
gnnizod. In the meanwhile. Mr.. Dorr has bcen
tried, convicted, and imprisoned His present
unhappy situation is consta nj source of discom.
ot and trouble in the State and out of the S,n,e.
Neither bis party, nor the law and order party,
.nn disband. while he remains in prison.
