on Tuesday, approving the appointment"
We make tie following extract from a letter
from Van Buen county:
"1ou huw no idea of the enthusiasm with
which the news of Senator Borland's appointment,
w&s receive here. The unterriied up in these
dlggns say that if Major Borland wishes 10 90
for full rrm, he has only 10 say so, and they
will instruct the member from this county to
count one or him.
One o. our correspondents in Hot Spring
county, ays:
The Senatorial appointment is considered by
all. IN tlese parts. as good one in every respect
and ailare pleased. 1t is understood here that
Major 3. will be candidate for the succession.
IT 50, ne member from this county will be in
stIuctei to 60 for him.
Andher writes US from Pope county:
'We. 'old hoss. you can't find fault with the
Gov. this time. His appointment OF Major Bor-
land too popular an act for any one TO complain
abou.'
The CiarksVc Standard of tine same date no.
iices the appointment as follows:
We have the qualification of informing our
readers that this gentleman has been appointed
BY Gov. Drew to fiji the vacancy occasioned by
me resignation of the Hon. Ar. II. Sewer in the
Senate OF the United States. He is. doubtless
al this time, en- route TO Washington City. So
FAR as we have Intelligence from the different
quarters OF This state, we feel perfectly safe, in
saving that thIs appointment has given a remark
able degree of satisfaction. We know of no man
":thIn the limits of Arkansas. whose appointment
he great mass OF the people would prefer in con-
tradIstincton to that of the aPpointee. Why so?
Because they have ample evidence from the ,abil-
ry and zeal with which he has heretofore viDdi-
Gated their feelings and principles, that even if
eft unaldcd and aione, the same would be faith
fully represented, and the best interest Of the
state promoted. Old Johnson could not have
been better pleased.
Tho following is from the Eldorado Union of
he 9Th inst:
Our qualification was inexpressible, when upon
opening the Democrat of the 3lst uIt., found
that the vacancy. occasioned by the appointment
Of the Hon. A. H. Sewer, Commissioner to Mexi-
co. was filled by the Gubernatorial appointment
Of Major SoLoN BoRLAKD-we known TO the peo-
pie of this State, as one Of the gallant heroes Of
Aiexco-as an able, consistent and unfiinchlng
democrat, and as man, who Will honor the high
and exalted station, he is called to fill. In this
selection. the Governor displayed the utmost Pru-
ience and foresight; not solely because, 1--WE be-
Level Major Boriand is the most popular man IN
the State, and will better please the people; but
because (by not having taken sides with, and con-
not having given umbrage to. ellher OF
the two factions in the Sta,e he will blend together
in harmony, and cement forever the disJolnted
and disaffected members, that have so long pressed
as incubus upon, and contaminated the DEM
ocratic party. Every democrat will concur
heartily with US, when we say, II Is high time
that the jars, schsms, and divisions, which have
so long distracted md cOnVuiSeQ inc parly-nearIy
swallowing it up in ruin-shoud be destroyed by
the combined, and energetic action OF the true and
faithful. And to do so those aspiring dcma-
gogues md worthless disorganizers who wish TO
creep into office by traducing the honest, and,
forsooth, exloIIing their own merits; whom, the
celebrated Burl would call a ''brood of ascarldes,
and inexpngnable Iapeworms, which devour the
nutfiment, and eat up the bowels" of the party;
should be forever silenced, and, we might say,
publicly kicked out Of the party. Until such
course is decided upon-unti such step is taken,
there is no security for permanent democratic
success and triumph in the State. Let us uphold
and sustain such men only, as we know, have the
oood-tho intereSt-tbe success OF the principles
of democracy at heart-they are the watchtul
dragons that guard the Hesperlan fruit, and pre-
yeni il from becoming soied even by look or
toncb fran, tie unworthy. Knowing Major Bor-
land to be such IN cne, believing him las before
stately 10 be the most rrofniar man 10 Inc sue
we not only highly gratIi.eu n ms upPJ'na
ment, but are in favor Of his election. oy 'io Is
isature as United States Senator for tnC hoA'
seuen years agains. any other man-as, we be-
lieve, he, alone, can harmonic and unite the
party. Again, we express our gratIficatIon at
his appointment.
