Arkansas intelligencer., 1848-07-15
.. s. COUGT--WESTERN BRANCH.

Senate. On the 22d ult., that the bill authorsing
the establishment Of branch of the T. S. Court
in the western part of the State has passed that
body. The citizens of western Arkansas are in
debted to Senators BoRLAND and SEBASTIAN for
their exertions in procuring the passage of this
biil.- No act that may be passed by Congress can
accomplish moro to preserve peace, and an observ-
ancc of the laws on this frontier, than the es-
laSishment of this court. In a pecuniary point
Of view it viii be grca. saving of expense to the
government.
This is one of the "neglected interests Of the
vest for which our late public servant, ex-Sen-
atOr Sewer, hits, in such high-toned and over
bearing manner, his old masters for making alu-
sion to. This measure has been before Congress
over three years, while that honorable functiona-
ry presided over our interests in the Senate, and
there it would have remained under the dead
weight Of has amendment until the end of his term
when in less than three months after Mai. BorIand
took hls seat in that chamber, with the assistance
of Judge Sebastian, it passed that body. We are
fully sensible of the fact .hot indobted TO
Col. Sewer for the dead halt Of that bill in the
Senate, and we are equally sure that are in
after the presiding genius Of the ex-senator was
Withdrawn. These are facts and not 81 SANDERS
as our arrogant ex-senator woad intimate his
constituents have been guilty OF fabricating. He
tells US that he again desires to be re- elected but
from his letter, written OF the SHltaaa, we are to
judge he expects to walk into the Senate over the
PROSTATE interests aud wishes of his hoi0ling con-
sttuents of the Western wilderness. There ais
self-dignity and independence enough, left yet, in
the west to remember his kind compliment, and
we will be to repay his favors in equal value,
if not in kind, before the Senatorial election is
over. In the coming contest we shall remember
the talented, industrious BoRLAND, who has not
grown fat and arrogant in Office aud who knows
how treat his constituents with that respect due
them if they should complain of their interests
being neglected.
0~3-The 4th of-July celebrated in this city
by the Teachers and Pupils of the Sabbath-schooIs
of This place, Oakland and Cedar Creek They
marched in procession through the town to the
Courthouse, where. after other ceremonies. sing
ing, prayer. &c, the Declaration of Independence
was read in impressive and easy styl by B.
II. HERNDoN, Esq, and eloquent oration was
delivered in a handsome manner by the Hon.
JESSE Turner.
This was one of the most interesting celebra-
tons that ever came off in this place. 1t was IN
deed an agreeable sight 10 witness over 200 little
boys and girls, marshaled in their appropriate
classes, headed by their teachers with suitable
banners, marching in orderly columns doing much
more credit 10 the organizers of this little army
enlisted under the banners of peace, good morals
and knowledge-than is ever received by those
who organise and equip mighty armies under the
banners of destruction, vice, and crime.
The ladies who had charge of the arrangements
and who prepared the nice banquet, at which this
little army feasted in guileless hiarity and happy
joyousness entitled to great creditor the taste
and spirit in which they prepared this extensive
feast. They never employed in a more in
teresting task did the qualities of their
sexs how to so great an advantage than on that
casion.
TIE ACADEMY AT BooNsBoRo.- We are in
formed by our friends. on Cane Hill, that the
school of Mr.. ThoS. G. pCuIloh is in a flourish
ing condition. On the lst of July at the opening
Of the present session so pupils entered, and be-
fore the first week k-had expired over dozen ac-
cessions were made to that number.
Mr. McCulIoh is well qualified for the perform
ance of The responsibilities which he has assumed !;
and we understand that be has engaged the sery-
ces, as assistant, Of Mr.. Ham, a teacher favo-
rably known in Washington county. He WILL
then be enabled to receIve many more pupils, and
we are sure the fine reputation of this school, the
healthy and salubrious climate of it's location, will
attract large number.
The Hon. BAILEY KENDALL.--The Helena
Journal, says:
'' 1t was SAID at the meeting, that Bailey Ken
dali, Esq, would run Independent candidate.
We can hardly believe that he will act thus to-
wards his party. We think lis 9" sober, second
thought" will cause him to resign any claim he
may have, and pull with his party, that has so
long pulled with him. We have always looked
upon Mr.. Kendall a true democrat: one who
has the principles of his party more at heart than
his own personal aggrandizement. Will ho not
allow his to in fhIs hniipf hvyv H.
