ANTI.SLAVERY CONVENTION.

1t has been purposed. by several of the papers
in this State, that Convention Of the people of
Arkansas be held at BateSrMe, on the first Mon.
may be thought necessary in maintaining the
rights Of the Sonth and the State of Arkansas on
the Slavery Question.
We respond TO the proposition most cheerfully
1t is time that shareholders should adopt some
measures for their protection at home, and the
preservation of their property from the incendary
influence of all kinds of abOlHionisis whether po.
tical or religious.
We hope the press will take this matter up, and
awaken the people to the Importance of action on
this grave subject. The enemies Of our insti.u-
,ions are insidously taking position in various
strongholds in this State. They advance upon us
in the deceptive shape Of religious missionaries
discaiming all the time any hostility to the insti
tuition Of slavery. They are getting stronger dai
ly, and if permitted to continue their encroach.
ments, they will, in few years, hold the control
ling power in Arkansas. Then will they change
front, avow their abolition affinity, and defy eul
laws, customs, and institutions. Their cry will
be, cup guards, and at them" They will
ask US no odds.
We have been alive 10 these dangers, md a

or fear of this mischevous set, or interest or wha

the people up? Then, under the same code that
all these nterferences, interventions, and combi-
nations were carried out. we say that Amer ica
can interfere, send an armed Intervention - to
Cuba, to aid the people of that country 10 secure
their rights rights that the American code will
never recognize subservient to any power.
If France can march upon Rome, Russia into
Hungary = England into Afghanstan, French
on to Algiors, the Yankees march into Cuba
and they u0W do so, too, at n proptious time. The
American people are practical nation-they
will acknowledge no code that is not obeyed by
others. They will do what is rigM whenever
they have the might to do it. The views of the
practical, progressive, mater-of-fac people of
America, will not be hampered by the dogmas of
the crowned heads of Europe. We are for send
Ing men and munitions of war ova TO Cuba
whenever government is satisfied that the
people of that Island desire independence and an
mex alton, regardless of the wishes Of the Crovn of
Spain. If such an act is against thelaw of ma
tions, we rely upon the amount of gooc we do by
it. If we can justify ourselves upon be princi-
pies OF moral philosophy and laws Of ture, we
will feel justified in the sight of HeaveI, and we
gded things on thrones. Our acts are never
agreeable to them, except when we fater their
pride pay tribute to their interest.
The progressive and liberal principles { Anne.
rica will work out new feature in inte national
law, engraft another chapter in the code.
We see it announced in the foreign paprs that
the French will withdraw their troops from Rome
| and that Spain will send others in their race to
keep down the Roman people. the etry of
Spanish troops into Rome against the lawof ma
tions should be a signal for the American 2vern-
mont to send troops 10 Cuba. We have right
a party under the laws of nations to dmand
that the rights Of the Roman People shall,e re-
spected, and we are The best Judges of whats the
best course for us TO pursue to enforce that ight
We will have the right TO seize Cuba and bid il

Dear Sir:-l saw a piece, sometime since CO.
pied from your paper, about Expedition, that
was TO leave Van Buren, on the first of August, in
search of reputed Gold Mine. supposed to exist
some ewhere in your State. You will confer a
favor, by letting me know the result of this Expe-
dtion

% yenrs, and know tolernbly well the location.
My father was hunter and trapper in the
region of the mines, and had piece of the ore at
New Orleans, which he sold for $50 il is proba-
bic that it worth more, as he supposed it 10
be valueess, until after he sold it.
You will also confer favor by letting me hear
from you something in regard 10 this matter, and
let me know If there any hostile Indians to be
encountered on the Great American Desert.
Respectfully, yours. w. NOOTSELL.
In reply TO the above note, our correspondent is
Informed, that Col. Black and company have re-
turned home, some two three weeks. He failed
10 find gold, except in minute particles, which
would not justify the hunting OF it as a business.
Yet many of the party deeply impressed with
the conviction that gold does abound in considera-
bic quantities, here in the region where they
have been. and they intend TO start out again early
next Spring. We feel assured that this party
would be glad TO have the Company of one who
has idea OF the location, Mr.. NootsclI says
he has, and we think this would offer favorable
opportunity for him to make an exploration.-
