gone against licensing, but the official report will

SENATORIAL APPoINTMENT.-The Hon. WM.
X. SEBASTIAN, of Phillips county, has been ap-
pointed, by Gov. Drew, to fill the vacancy in the
United States. occasioned by the death of Colonel
Ashley.
The abilities and high integrity of Judge Sc
b9siian render him well qualified TO fill the station
TO which he has been appointed; yet, we think, a
more just distribution of power and patronage. by
his Excellency, would have given greater satsfac-
ton; and we regret that desire 10 do justice to
a neglected and unrepresented portion of the State
did not prompt the Governor TO confer the appoint
ment upon one of the distinguished citizens Of the
West. But as no objection be urged against
the individual who received the Executive favor.
we will withhold our complaint. believing that his
Excellency was governed, by what he might have
thought for the best.

TO THE PEOPLE OF 8RElYSlS,

THE death of Col. Ashley having created an
Iother vacancy in the United States Senate, which
lis to be filed by the next Legislature, ! now an
bounce myself as candidate for it. In doing so
lit is proper to add that have no war to wage
against any man or set Of men and have no vim
,dctve feelings to crafty or injuries TO avenge.
The pretensions Of my competitors, whoever
they may be, will receive at my hands the con-
'sideration to which they are justly emitted; and,
Indeed. | can most sincerely declare that it will
lat all times afford me more qualification to over
Estimate than depreciate their merits. ! have
Ineiher the motive nor inclination TO disparage
ANY claims they may have, and hence | wish it
distinctly understood that in seeking this high
land honorable station, shall meet them as | de-
sire to be met on fair and open grounds.
1t cannot be expected that | should, in this
brief address, make any formal declaration of my
political principles. 1t is my present intention to
visit as many counties as practicable the ensuing
GUNNER. and on opportunity will then be afforded
IF discussing before the people such questions as
,the occasion may seem to demand.
In the mean time cheerfully submit my claims
ito their Judgment, and will content myself with
2dding, that during twelve years residence in Ar
kansas, have faithfully labored to sustain the
measures of the democratic party, and conse.
,quently my opinions upon political questions have
lbeen opesly proclaimed in various modes and are
doubtless very generally known, in the state
And must add, that, although am a democrat
from choice, feeling and conviction, and could
,never be otherwise, yet as those who are ac-
,quain;ed with me can bear witness. have always
respected honest differences of sentiment in others
.and awarded to political opponents that sincerity
(which II can justly claim for myself.

{" In the Pitsburg Gazette, we find the follow
ing important telegraphic dispatch, dated

By the arrival of Major Meek, from the
West, we have late and important news from
Oregon, where all is confusion and bloodshed
between the Whites and Indians. Four DOW
erful tribes have united, and commenced a
deadly war. Four battles took place in Jan
uary, in three of which the Whites were sue
cessful in beating their enemy. Five hundred
Whites fought body of two thousand Indi-
ans whole day, when the Indians retreated,
after wounding great number of Whites
On the goth of November, most horrid and
brutal massacre was committed by the Cayuse
Indians, at the Presbyterian Mission, at the
Wallah- Wallah Valley. Dr. White. his man
and wife, with eighteen others. were Killed.
and sixty or seventy taken prisoners. The
houses of the missionaries and their neighbors
were burned to the ground. The unfortunate
prisoners were subsequently ransomed, thro'
the agency of Peter Sken Ogden, chief factor
of the Hudson Bay Company
Major Meek pushed up the river Yesterday,
on his way to Washington. with dispatches
for the government, asking for immediate aid
on the part of the Oregon settlers.

Democratic National Convention.
National Democratic Convention, composed OF
Delegates from every State OF the Unlon' as
sembled, in pursuance of the general notice
given throughout the country, at ii O'Clock
Yesterday morning, in the Universallst Church,
on the corner of Calvert and Pleasant streets.
The Committee of Arrangements had made
every preparation for the accommodation and
business of the convention, together with am
pie facilities for the large body of Reporters,
representing the press from all parts of the
Union.
The delegates having been successfully adj
mitted, as they arrived at the Church, in their
united capacity presented as respectable and
as dignifed body as we have ever seen con-
vened on similar or any other occasion. The
familiar faces OF honorable gentlemen, whose
talents, elevated position, and popular char
acter, have made their names and fame as Ia.
miliar as household words throughout the
country, were encountered at every glance OF
the eye praetised in the political world; whilst
others composing the assembly maintained, in
all appearance, that digniied character, which,
to the observer, pervaded the whole.

LATE and IMPORTANT from YUCATAN.
Conclusion Of n Treaty OF Peace.

BY the arrival last evening of the Yucatan
schooner Aparecida, Capt EspinoIa, we are
in possession of late and highly interesting in
telligence from Yucatan, which will afford
much pleasure to those who have been lament
ing the troubles that have occurred on that
coast The Aparecida left Campeachy on the
I'd inst, and Sisa on the nth, and brings us
dates from Merida of the goth ult. The re-
ports contained in the papers, and the verbal
information furnished our reporter by Captain
EspinoIa, are somewhat at variance, and we
are little at loss 10 reconcile them. "La
Union," of Merida, of the 25th April, publish
es treaty of peace concluded on the 18th of
April, at Zucacal, by Commissioners appointed
by Sr D. Miguel Barbachano, Governor of
Yucatan, and commissioners appointed by D..
Jacinto Pat, commander in-chief of the revolt
ed Indians, and ratified by both parties ON the
23d of April, at Tecul.
Captain Espinola reports, however, that on
the day he left Sisal news was received TO the
effect that Pa, with his forces, were within
eight leagues of Merida, from which he Judged
that tranquility had not been restored, but that
hostilities had again been renewed 1t IS quite
probable that Pats forces were remaining in
the vicinity of Merida until the terms of the
treaty were complied with, and in accordance
with the 9th article. Captain f. also reports
that about twenty ght vessels from different
nations were off the coast, reno ling the in
habitants of Yucatan to Compeachy. We
strongly incline 10 the belief that the treaty
concluded the difficulties, as the insurgents
seem to have had every thing that they desired
granted them by the commissioners.

PEELED us to take in declining TO Fun as cam
didates to represent the County of New Han
over i'll the next Legislature. To be selected
as the candidates OF the Democratic party is
all honor OF which we acknowledge ourselves
gratefully sensible; but however highly we
may be disposed to estimate this honor, we
could not consent to receive it, when its recep-
ton would be necessarily productive of d.
vision in the party. We felt bound to make
a sacrifice of our individual feelings in order
to avoid such an unfortunate consequence
We sincerely hope that our friends will accord
to us full justice in this matter, and acquit us
OF any disposition to slight that confidence
which has hitherto been bestowed upon US.
