 MR. EDITOR: The National Democratic Conven. ton have faithfully performed their duty, in sending forth to the people ticket equal in taen and strength to any that could possibly be selected. The nomi- nation of Cass and Butler has been hailed by bust of general approbation, and with them our stan. daHd bearers we wiit enter into the contest with confidence, in itself an element of success, that they will carry it proudly on to victory.
 Genl. Cass resigned his seat in the Senate on the 29th ut. His place as chairman of the Committee on Military affairs is now filled by Col Benton. who IS giving 10 the nominations warm snd hearty sup port. Gen. Dix of New York, expresses great hopes that the unhappy divisions now existing among ihe Democrats of the Empire State will soon be healed, and that she will yet cast her thirty six electoral votes for Cass and Butler. The impression among Democrats here is very strong. that can elect our candidates without New York. Gen Cass will cafry Ohio-such being the fact New York is noi necessary 10 our success.
 The Whig National Convention is to meet on the 7th o( inc ?resen month, at Philadelphia. A number of delegates are here already getting theu cues. Gen. Taylor N i'll almost certainly be the m nee And why-because he is the exponent of whig principlesl by no means-bat because their chances of suceess are desperate, and they regard him as the only man they have even the shadow of probability of clsciing. Their principles have become to use tho language of one of their dis'in guished leaders "obsolete ideas, and they are now in search of the availabity-and the spells of pow. CT. Mir Clay's friends ~i make bold effort for him, but his chances are looked upon here as des- perate. Gen. Scott has kind of negative strength among the Wings, and circumsta nees may occur that will give him great power in convention. His pros- poets thought 10 bc second only to Gen. Tsyior Speaking of these Generals report says that Geni Taylor will be here in few days his way to at tend the eolrt-martia at Frederick, Md. General Scott is now here.
 The Hon. Mir. Sebastian, lately appoiated Sena. tor from Arkans4s, yesterday appeared in the Senate was qualified and took his seat.
 Congress has not passed any of the general ap- propriaton biils and will moi nntil July. The whigs will move and no doubl cliry sn adjournment of days to enable them to attend their Convention It is in unison ith their usual disregard of the public business. The general impression is That they WI dOout tnS lst ot huEuSI.
 The member from your State, Col. R ". John. son, has won for himself golden opinious from all who have observed his course while he has been In the public service. He ably and faithfully repre-. sen.s tho mos numerous constituency of any mem Der of Congress, His pest Is. instsad of being a, many mere structures, most arduous and respon- sibe. In the morning he is to be seen mixing his rounds among the Public Departments presenting, pressing in all ol them inc claims of the citizens Of Arkansas During ibe si,tngs of the House, he is always present, and has gained for the time he has been member reputation for talent and business habits, second to that of no other man. May Arkau sas long have the benefit of his valuable services
 The late news from France is anything but en- eouragng to the friends of liberty At the last ae counts the people had burs. in upon the Assembly ana compelled them to pass certain dserees. If such things are allowed to continue. the government cannot exist long. and in state of anarchy ii is m possible to see the end. The next news will be looked for with great interest.
