Event. fall times have fallen upon us, and IS matter of grave interest and consideration that we having but one voice in the representative bearer of Con. gross, should have that voice potent ln the cause and interest of Arkansas. Would Gen Clarks,s " better management do us, we are diSpaSed to think not.
 This fuiscne laudation of Gen. Clarke or any one else, are iSesaaptaous and iii -,ine,l. We hold that high honnfS and stations of respons.hh. ties should neither be sought or deeiiaed-,he his- tory of events generally. points to Inc man to a them. We aaow not fl Gen.

What poii- cal emergency has tFied Elml--las he thrown him self in advance of hls party by any distinguished servlcel We have no record of his profound abii- tles either in the origin or advocacy of any great measure. What legion has he led to the charge What pass has he heidi Let our standard be committed to the valiant---to hands tEled in the service, then amld the conflicts that threaten the next two years, we know t will be borne aioit with honor whenever and wherever those con iicis arse IL appears to Us that it IS due to the occasion and the crisis that K upon us, that we look for higher qualities than better manage- ment'' III the representative who IS .o hold n hls hand our interests and honor for the next two years.
 Robert W. Johnson in whom the Democracy have confidence we'll founded and we'll tried. has modestly declined for hIs asplrations for the place he has so gallanGly and honofably filled. but he IS the choice of Eastern Arkansas, and the State generally, upon him we all could anite fully-we are split utterly into fractions. unless he be our standard bearer, he would aot, could not put aside the spontaneous nomination of the people.
 Clearly as the hand writing upon the wall, the times point ,. him toIbe returned again to Con gress; the Democracy hare the nght to put m re- quistion his services, and say to hun hold on 10 the post we have assigned you. and there man- tam our rights tili relieved. Aye, Roland boIds the pass of RoneevallcS, and the Democracy Of Arkansas are sailyiRg to the rescue.
