untiring energy-by his sterling principles us

of many of the gallant Doctors friends that ho
should lake the field, and the writer hopes that he
may oncsmore, for the good of our common coun-

his fellow-ctizens to present his name their
standa rd bearer in the approaching contest Many
questions of importance to this State will be before

man for the crisis. Our interests would be safe

For the Arkansas InteIIigencer.

Mr.. EDIToR-Knowing you TO be Jealous ad-
vocate of those measures which are Immediately
connected with the bes: interests Of Arkansas,
take the liberty 10 offer, through your valuable
journal, some crude observations a subject
which has for some time engaged my attention.
Every citizen of Arkansas is aware, that not only
in our own county, but in every county of our
State, there numbcrless tracts of unsettled
lands, which are Of no use in their present condi-
tion Feeling an interest in the prosperity OF our
young State, have often exerted my inventive
genius to light upon plan TO induce emigration
from other States. i have thought that if hun
dreds who now swell the crowded towns and cities
of the older States, and suffering daily from po-
verify. could be assured of The resources contained
within our borders, and the ease and happiness
they might enjoy in our country, many, very
many, might be induced 10 emgraie. But without
an assurance Of these facts, none will move. Like
the first news of gold in California, few believed,
and but few would go--but when tho fact became
well established, thousands rushed TO the land of
wealth. And so il is in this case-few are will
ing TO move, unless upon cera iniy that they will
better their condition.
But in what way can we assure them Nigh,
be allowed to suggest plan? Suppose, for in
stance, that q society be esta bshed in every coun-
ty, to be called the Emigrants Association, whose
duty II shall be to appoint committee of five 10
transact business. The committee shall procure
all the information they in relation TO the
cant IdnuS-IualtleS OI OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Ia
ciIlties--socie,y, &C., and with their funds, OBJ
tained by subscription, shall publish them in
advertisement form, in some eastern or northern
paper having a largo circulation. Their names
TO be appended 10 the advertisement, directing per-
sons abroad 20 apply TO them for any further in
formation. Coming from persons of standing and
credit in the community, the information would
not be regarded a travellers tale, and those
wishing TO emigrate might easily them
selves of its authenticity by application at the Of
flee Of the paper. The advertisement would not
cost over twenty or thirty dollars year, and the
whole expenses of the society, annually, would not
exceed seventy five dollars.
Such plan, if properly carried out, am of
the opinion would be highly successful-and am
certain that there numbers in this, and every
county, who not only see the advantages that must
result to one and all from the settlement of our
vacant lands, but whose hearts expanded with
lovo to mankind, and laudable desire TO amelio-
rate the condition Of their feow-creatures, who1
would join hoart and hand in this, or a similar
project.
While ndul9ing wish that these few remarks
may be the means of calliugout talents Of higher
order, and more extensive knowledge Of the SUBJ
Ject than possess, have the honor TO be, sc.

Mr.. Ednor-I soc in the last number OF the
InteNigencer, that many counties in tho State have
held meetings and appointed delegates to tho great
Rail Road Convention, 10 be holden in the city of
Memphis on the 10th October next. Old Conway,
do assure you, will be awnke to her interest,
and TO that of her sister counties. and will have
herself fully represented in the Convention; know
ing that if the great Rail Road should commence
at Memphis, II viii necessarily be bound TO pass
through her borders-thus placing the products of
Europe and China within reach of her citizens
This will enhance the value of her lands and per-
sonal property, knowing, at the same time, that
must be the great thoroughfare for the emigration
to the EIdorndo of the West.

and vicinity, to complete their outfit for the expe-
dition-for there is no part Of tho State, in my

they can also buy provisions cheap here as any
place in the State. Boats can come to this place
at any time that they reach Little Rock.
do hope that the citizens of the north side of
the river, will, for the future, be more Jealous Of
their interest," than they have boon heretofore and
try to use more industry in keeping their public
roads in good repair. The citizens Of Conway
have thrown off their cloak Of aziness and
determined on keeping their roads in good order,
so that neither the traveller or emigrant will be
stopped en- route to his place Of destination,

word should be, Thorough improvement of their
roads," We must not let the south side of our
river outstrip us in making good roads. The face
of the country on this side is as good, if not bet
ter, than that the south side. But if we do not
attend closely TO our interest in this matter, what
must obviously be the result, it is easy foresee
tho south side of the river will complete her
road from Little Rock TO Fort Smith, and thereby
induce travellers and California emigrants to tra

Our PATRONS:
God has graciously carried US through another
year of trial and difficulty, and so far crowned
our labors with success, as to call forth grateful
recollectons of the past, and inspire confident
trust in the future.
1t is duo 10 our patrons, our friends and to N.Y.
self, to be allowed, on this occasion to say that
the same principles have guided me in my labors,
and in all my intercourse with society the passed
year, which have been mydrecton and support dur
ing the ten years of my labor in this town. In all
my transaction of business, in all my employment
of aborers, and in all my invitations, or reception
OF visitors, from the most untaught and limited
capacity, to the man Of capacous intellect and
science, my first inquiry has been, without re.
spect to sect or party, do they sustain moral
character according with their standing and pro-
fession; and as this question has been settled they
have found employment on these grounds, or have
been permitted to have access to this school. The
same rules have also governed me in the reception
and retention Of pupils. How far l may have
been deceived on this subject will be seen at the
great day of accounts. t
You all remember the circumstances, tha,
brought me hither years ago, with the afflicted
family of Mr.. Ridge. We were kindly received
found protection and safely among kind and
hospitable people. A door of usefulness was
opened into which entered not knowing what
would be on the morrow-laboring from day TO
uay as inc INDICATIONS OF providence seemed to
direct. The school, which theH opened in
log cabin on the public square, and continued
sometimes without fuel, during the most incement
weather of this latitude, has, Of necessity assumed
its present position before the public. These
houses and these grounds and all the facilities for
giving instruction here, did not spring up by magic
in this new and uncutivated country. They have
appeared one after another, under God, by the
most energetic, untring, and | would add, if true,
patient effort. But persevered have, until nv
nature is yielding under the pressure of compli-
Gated labor.
| will not forget to mention now, what trus,

rous and judcious aid have received from indi.
viduas in this place to encourage me in my early
labors, and whose waichful influence and needed
aid has not been withheld from time 10 time, when
this Seminary has been contending with obstacles.
Let such remember that however unworthy may
prove of public trust, they may have the gratifi.
cation Of knowing the work is good one, and
that it can be carried forward in other hands more
deserving, and more capable, when the present
incumbent shall have renquished her abors
