There are other members from this end of the
5s"'0 who will do credit to their constituents.
TIE ELECTION OF JUDGEs opinion hos
been often asked whether the next Legislature viii
ratify the amendments OF the constitution, pa-
cing the election Of Judges, Prosecuting Attor-
MES &c. before the people. From all we can
ascertain of public sentiment, there is no doubt
that those amendments will be ralified and in
answer 10 aso,her inquiry, we believe law un-
der the provisions of those amendments will be
passed the early part Of the session. to enable
the people OF the several circuits to eject their
Judges and Attoruios before the convening of the
courts.
QI7-It may be expected that all the speculators
in Indian claims, half breed Indians, who have
been itching TO get hold Of the Inllan funds, and
many others who are interested in keeping up the
'.ancien, regime" will congregate at Little Rock
IN November, to leg for Col. Sewer. We hear
of the gatherings OF the clansmsn AMI their de-
penden,s, preparatory to their trip. 1t all will
not do, d" the sign is out" AMI the people will car
~ the day. We heard a half breed Cherokee
say, n short time since that he was going down to
little Rock 10 oloc:0neer for Col. Sewer. We
wonder if he has got back the thousand dollars he
loaned to Il certain Senator. on the day before
the treaty Of Amnesty was ratified
Go ahead gentlemen, you may all combine those
who are interested in Indian sPecuIatons, are not
rs strong as those who are not engaged in this
business.
SrnAuBoAr VorNG.-Wo see by their papers
,b7t tho wigs continue 10 rely upon steamboat
VOTING as ., ,:adica,ion Of public sentiment. In

Our whg friends will find that their ma jori.ies,
this year wil be on steamboats, and not in The bal
lot boxes.
RAILROAD To CALFoRNEA.-Tho Democrat of
The 18th insl contains an interesting letter from
Mr.. Mills, Engineer and Architect at Washington
City, to Senator BoRLAND. together with Mr.. Ms
memorial respecting a route for railroad to the
Pacific. BY these twill appear that Mills prefers,
for many important reasons, what is called the
central route from Memphis, Tenn, on a d.
rect line through Arkansas, via AIb1quorque, on
the Rio Granda to San Daigo in California;
Upon looking over Calvin Smiths large map. we
see that the direct through Arkansas, from
Memphis, via Aibuqurqne. Is by Fort Smith in this
county. From this point it is almost a natural
route, and will be found the most level country
and least iutersecod with mountains.
We have no doubt of the reelection Of IT,ior
Borand, and we are songuino that he will devote
portion Of his time and talents 10 the prosecu-
lion Of this great enterprise.
SoUTH CARoLISA's VorE SAFE.-It will be seen
by the following paragraph from the Greenville /
Is. O. A0unta5aeey that this State has cot out of
that - bad fix" over which some Of the vhir na-
pers were eX8'tjnG; and It viii be seen by ano- /
ther paragraph, which we clip from the NJ York /

An honest old Democrat defending Gen. Cass
against whig SANDERS was Interrupted by pert
wing in The crowd, who said "Suppose you take
the Z of of Cass's name, what would he be then?"
= Why promptly replied the old democrat, " be

not vote for him..
