The first clause Of the ID section Of the 4h ar
ticle of the Constitution of the United States guar
antees that i" the citizens of each State, shall be
entitled TO all privileges and immunities of citizens
in the several States. A Roman Caihoiic citizen

New Hampshire sets up fer republican State,
and this is specimen of her republicanism. The
AboIitionists would place the ,;egroes upon on
equality with themselves, bu. they deny that
equality TO their white fel low -cizens. The New
England States are becoming the reproach of
America. a"o d. a. s2h.E5l b.. ss.oa9s a-,a -.

have sent memorial TO Congress, asking the es-
tabllshment of regular monthly military escorts
between that city and San Francisco, for the pur.
pose of afiordng protection to md from California.
1t is very probable that some measure of this sort
will be adopted by governments; but the
voys should from, and return to. For, Smith,
the frontier of Arkansas, that being the shortest

0rWe understand rumoT has pa ssed down

raised in their prices Of provisions. in consequence
Of the expected emig ration to California. r. a.,.T'
However true this may be elsewhere, we can
in sincerity assert that such is not the case in
Van Buren; we have enquired into the truth of
this report and discover it TO be unfounded. Be.
low will be found note from ALFRED WALLACE,
ESQ.,. merchant of this place in answer to some
inquiries of the Fort Smith Herald on the subject
Of provisions, which will place all right in regard
to these erroneous reports. q G- q Tgr
To the Editor Of Tie Itelzigencer.
SiR-I observed in the Fort Smith Herald. OF
the 2Sth February, the communication of a Z" Ci-
ti-en Of Crawford County," copied from the Demo-
crat: in commenting which, the Editor Of the
Herald is desrous TO know whether the writer is
responsible, and able to furnish the articles des-
cribed For the information of the Editor, | can
inform him, that wrote the communication sign.
ed Il :. Citizen of Crawfo County," and that /
hold myself ready to contract for the delivery of
10000 los. of good bacon. at 3 cents; any guam
tity of corn under 5000 bushels at 20 cents. in
Washington County. and within 80 miles of Van
Buren, and flour, for $500 per barrel, by the
quantity. The price of -four has been raised since
the publication of that communication, by The un-
necessary alarm about scarcity, published in the
Herald. must here be permitted 10 remark, that
the prices OF corn. bacon. and flour, At Fort Smith
and Van Buren,, should have but ttle weight with
the emf grant, for the reason that it is quite easy
for him 10 90 TO the back country. and lay in his
supply before starting, as il would be TO purchase
them In either place. and certainly at much lower
rates. What is so miles TO the emigrant, who is
preparing for journey of 1000 miles certainly
but trIfe. | assert, that there is plenty in the
country for full supply for all the emigrants,
and al lower rates than the same articles can be
purchased elsewhere and shipped here. Will the
Editor of the Herald send us some responsible in
dividual, TO enter into contract Immediately for IA
large supply of bacon, corn. and flour ! hope
he will do so early possible. s-.-, .,...r
