WHAT OF THE WAR This is a very na- tural and frequent question. We have re- peatedly answered it, by expressing the opin- ion, which we still entertain, that thete will be no war. In this, we are aware that we differ with many, whose knowledge and judg- gment, in such matters, may be superior 10 ours. Nevertheless, our opinion remains unchanged, based as 1t is upon, what we con- slider, ssthe reason of things,o and the absence of any real sign of war. If we be wrong, however, and others right, as may be pcssi- ble, we hope that as the people of our State (et quorum pars .faD were among the first to range themselves on the side of AnneXa- ton, and have done much of the writing and talking for fl, they may be allowed to prove their professions, by taking hand in what fighting may be required in it's consequences and behalf. In this connection, we have heard the desire expressed by some of our citizens, and we cordially concur in it, that our Co., vernon would suggest our claims, in that re- spect, to the President of the United States.
 Our latest dates are the New Orleans Re- publican of September l; which, in speaking of the last news, brought by the Steam Ship Alabama, says: ''There is no war yet; and General TAYLOR, we learn from the Picay- une, does not anticipate fght'

 To CoRREsPoNDENTs.-s"One of the peo pie" is rejected; and, amort other suficien reasons, for the very obvious one--that hi. main position and deductions are character ized by degree of ignorance, so palpable yet so siagularly manifested, as to leave us in doubt whether it be rcol or q9ected. fiji be the former, the writer is incompetent to instruct the readers of the Banner-if il be the latter, he Is unworthy of a hearing
 "R" is not in lime for this week.
 The request of City correspondent to publish furnished extract of letter from Texas, is not complied wpth, because the writer's generalizations are % sweeping, for his basis of observation. ie reminds us oi the traveller who, in desct eing fine inhabi- tants of a certain country, said ''all the men are oross-eyed, and all the women red-haired; ;' whereas he had seen op the cross-eyed tavern keeper and his fed- llred wife. Be- sides, we have too recentl8 aided in bringing Texas .nto the Union, to oin in traducing her. The end aimed at our correspon- dent, is, doubtless good c ugh; but, in onr estimation, does not qT,,@ ustify the means proposed for it's attal '
 "A Democrat f9f ls' is evidently seeking to "qniza us. Moreover, his failure to furnish us his real name alone excludes his communication.
 An Old Settler" is cheerfnlly admitted He would have been more acceptable, how ever, had he stood more upon his merits, and claimed less for the length of time he has resided in the State. We yield to no one in our admiration of the "Pioneern of q new country, or in the respect which is due to his daring and his hardships yet the pre- tension that 1t conlers any peculiar rights or franchises, 10 have been Ca cane breaker, J as in ''cant phrazeo he expresses t, smaeks a litde more of ''cantn than of any thing else. It has been well ascertained that man may be born and reared at the foot of Mount Ve- suyius, and yet possess no more right nor power to control ifs eruptions, than one who had enjoyed only years residence.
 Again: tsAn old Settletn is among the last from whom we expected opposition to a Convention; and above all, seeking tostrength- en his opposition, by reference to the stale, and what he knows to be the false charge Of fraud, which was made against the April convention. Especially are we surprised at this, nasmuch as he must remember against whom that charge was particularly urged, and upon whom it was sought 10 iasten its chief odium. ''An old Settlern knows, more over, no matter what may have been falsely said, that Dr. Chapman did mol decline oa accoumt of any sucd supposed or al}eged fraud upoa "tbe North" And whether di- vision and Reorganization in the Demoera- cy of Arkansas may be attributed to the con ventions, or to other and prior causes, il is beyond dispute that our triumph, in this State, was never more brilliant than in lS4i, aud never so complete

A STATE CoNyENTIoN.-The proposition of our correspondent .'Thucidides,' second ed by ourself, in the Banner of August l3, that Democratic Convention, to nominate candidate for the 30th Congress, should be held in this city, on the Sih of January, was, at the time, and is still believed to be, in ac- cordance with the wishes, and m promotion of the interests of the Democracy of this State. We can assure our readers that nei- ther ''Fhucidides'' nor ourself are, or will be, a candidate for any office, either coun- ty, State, or national We desire the har- mony, union, and ascendancy of the party We believe a convention to be essential to attain those ends, by deciding upon the pre- tensions of rival aspirants, several of whom are known to be already preparing for the eontest-and we still advocate it, as in duty bound, and shall continue to do so.
 In originating, and in still urging, the prop osltion, no consideration of the interests of individuals has influenced us. We have pro- ceeded upon the established policy of the Democratic party throughout the Union, the wisdom of which is beyond controversy, that candidates for office should be nominated by Conventions; and upon the well known understanding, in this State, that State Con yention should be held once in two years Whether the present incumbent, or some oth- CT Democrat, is to receive the nomination, does not affect the principle which has been recognized, or the policy based upon it, in the remotest degree. Two questions we have for the Democracy of Arkansas = Do you recognize the policy of your party throughout the Union, to nominate candid ates by conventions? Do you approve the understanding in this State, that State con- vention shall be held once in two years ?- If you answer these questions in the aega- tire, then you are disbanded and disorganized, you will soon fall an eaE prey to your en- emies, and our right, as your organ, to ad- dress, advise, and exhort you, Is at an end. The Wings are again chuckling, as they have long and often done, in the hope of this, to them, so devou,iy desired catastrophe. If, on the other hand, you answer these ques- tons in the a6irmatiue, ,hen all is well, your serried ranks and unbroken front are pre- served, your organization is perfect, and your ascendancy is perpetuated. Thea the Coaponf,oa, as proposed, ,e:l Dc held; and he true-hearted Democrat will be no longer mortified at the disgraeeful spectacle of pre- ferring the interests of individuals to the good os the party.
 h accordance with our sense of duty, we ''set ihis ball in motion !" and, leaving home next day, have been absent until now. It vas our wish and expectation that the sug- gestions of correspondents would have been
 mainly directed, and alanost exclusively lin.

Moral and Religious,

PowER OF THE GOSPEL The scruple is so often
heard, and sometimes from good men who have talk
en- but short views on the subject, "What after all
can you accomplish Iniquhy nbounds, and the wick
cd seem to multiply, and wax boIder," True, sad
ly true; but they Gail to enquire, what the world
would become without restraints, abandoned to its
chosen course, and the reign Of Indulgence thrown
on the neck Of every passion, The Christian religion
is healthy, and wherever is ineulcoted it will be to
substantial purpose. Il is adapted to the temporal,
intellectual, and moral wants Of our race; it harmon
ICES with the constitution Of our physical, moral
ture and if lis influences ever become disastrous,
is because by poryertng ii have made them such.
There ia nothing in all the united universe that
so elevate and refine the sonl. Take the most de-
graded from hunts Of vice. and let the Spirit Of God
seal the gospel in his heart, in the assurance that the
Lord waits to DO gracious, and Notwithstanding all his
yileness will be rccOncled aud forgive all hiss rebel
lion and ingrattude and his soul rises tho blessed
thought; his bosom will begin to expand with noble
impulses rs the love Of God is the great scheme of
redemption warns his soul. Now he hates his chains,
nbhors bis venoss;I his spirit breaks away from his
bondage and he rises to the liberty and purity of the
rons Of God There is an energy and power in
Gifted love, that when it boams on the soul meIts,
humbes, and cxas it. Such sympathcs rell md
such sacrifices made Cor this living mysterious faculty
within me. Heaven and earth moved in concert FOR
the immortal principle that beats and breaths here
All, exclams the conscious sinner, will revere my
being, viii cherish my hopes. This mighty motive
will yet bring world of rebellion to submission and
obedience in Gial confidence and love- 7Hco3ore

EFFECT OF FAITH. If look into the gospel
glass, my looking is figure of my faith; for unless
look can neither see Christ nor myself When
look, what do see? Christ crucifed, and God in
Christ reconciing The world unto himself My eyes,
my soul, are fascinated with wonder and solemn de-
light. My heart melts my eyes overflow; my head
is as water while look on him whom have pierre
ed. The burden of guilt gently unlooses and rolls
into his quiet sepulchre, and the peace Of God Gains
all the tumult OF my breast. For season, am SO
engaged in the contemplation Of the heavenly vision,
that have leisure consider myself; but length
l catch glimpse of my own countenance and image.
I recognize the same features but how wonderfully
they changed what spirit is lighted mp those
faded eyes! Peace Is enhroned on tho brow late
ly wrnklcd by care-celestia splondors play upon
my tcmple,-al my gaping wounds healed and
not is left behind. My tattered filthy rags are
exchanged for n robe made white in the blood of the
Lamb Immortal vigor braces every nerve. l tread
on air, and Abba, Father, bursts spontaneously from
my living eart--.1ielciHe Horne.
