 Ma EpfroR: The tiTns IS approaching when the voters of the State will have to elect their members of the General Assembly. The first Moudag of August will soon come round and with it our cleo ton The Democratic party should bear in mind the importance of our next election and select good aad True oad iceH tried Dsaocrats for members oftkc nert Leyisiature. As Democrat well tried and ever found hrm and unwavering in The cause, as an &C., compi'hed statesman of great experience, influence and ability, a man who has proveI, through a se- res of year his devotion 10 the best interests and welfare of the people of Arksnsas, the Democracy oi Arkansas vii again place the HoH. Ambrose H. Sevier in the United States Senate. Iii well known that the Hon. A H. Sever di not seek the appo nt- ment of Minister Pl'hipotentiary to Mexico, and that he only induced 10 accept it al the earnest solicitation of the President, befs of lis cabinet and other distinguishes Democrats. His appoint ment confirmed by unaaiaious poie of tue Senate. Ere now, t Is presumed lie has completed his mission. In a lew weeks we may no doubt ex- pect the Hon. A. II Ssvisr 10 rsturn to Arkansas, where he has resided from his boyhood to the pre- sent day and in which all his interests ars centefed The Democracy Of Arkansas understand too well the interests Of the Democratic party and the best tsIests of the State to let the Hon A. Sevier re- tire from public lie. They know him to be an bon est,steadfast Demoefat whose influence in the U S Senate is too valuable to be lost therefore the mem bers of the General Assembly will no doubt come together instructed to carry out the wishes of the people by again giving Col Seriar his old place ia the Senate. Let tbosc who feel an interest m the csuseof De nocraey; interested in the welfare an [ the honor of Arkau'as, and who are willing to . ward a most fathfai aai able statesman bsar in mind that Col. Sevior desires reelection b the Senate. Our State coud not have better or more able Senator. A DEMOCRAT.
 r. s. Permit me to direct your attention 10 the following just tribute to Col. seyier from the Washington correspondent of the Helsna Journal
 WAsmSGroN, D. C, May If, ISIS.
 The vacuum occasioned in the '. :. Senae by the resignation of Hon. A. II. SEVER, ca1 only be tiled by the people oi Arkansas sgan electpg him to that Important station This conclusion have come Co from obseryfng ths manner in which off, ceIs filling high stations m our government, speak of him. On our journey here, We heard one of his friends remark. that he had more influence then any five members in congress. We then thought II a ebulition of personal friendship; but from our observation hefe be did not widelI miss the mark.  We can pick out more than one set of five men in the Senate whose influence combined will not equal that Of Col. SEVER Col. SEylEa, tIom his long perience and pressnt sanding, Can do more for Ar kansas than any twenty men our state can send. Arkansas need only come here to learn this fact. We readily acknowledge that We had no idea of the influence he possesses al the capital of our Union The interests of the democratic party of the Union demand his presence here. the iaeress of Arkansas demand it. And viii not the democrats of our State comply with this demand They undoubtedly Will We would this day prefer the influence of Col. SE- vTEa h the halls of congress, than that of THos H. BENTON or JOIN C. CALHOUN This may appear strange with those unaciuan'ed with affairs at Washington 4 declaration of this kind would have appeared strange to us, before our visit here. But such is the case. When We have strong man, why should we throw him aside The democracy of state will not do if, We feel confident, His adherence to democratic principles and hls high standing here, proves bin to be worthy of rs-elec- ton. Our party will be true to it's own interest in suPporting hun. WE.
