rrle late Proclamation of the President of the United States, against infractions ot the laws ofthe United States by foreigners and others engaged in organizing another expedition for the purpose of invading the Island of Cuba, was not, of course issued without sufficient grounds. Information from the shores and islands of the Gulf of Mexico, and from other points South, as well as from New York, left no doubt of the atrocious design to renew the criminal enterprise which has once been so sicnaly defeated.
 On Saturday last, by the active exertons of the Marshal of the southern district of New York and his deputies, as we learn from the New York papers, several persons some Of them citizens who were known to have been engaged in the former expe- dltion, and some of them foreigners-were arrested upon affidavit made of similar pres- ent designs, and, being taken before U. States Commissioner, (Mr. Brigham,) were held 10 bail to answer the charge in the Court of the United States.
 The very proper action by the executive of the United States, and the promptness with which the United States authorities in New York have seconded it, have, let us trust, nipped in the bud this new conspira- cy against the peace and honorable repute of our country.-National InteAigencer.

whose principles, they declared, if carried out, would subvert the happiest Republic upon earth, and crush the spirit of freedom throughout the worldl Or are they now, like sucking doves," gently wooing the hand of him who they thus charged ind rectly with striking deadly blow at the liberties of the country?-and whose course in opposition to the "Compromise" they condemned not only as rash, but tending 10 Anarchy, Revolution, and bloodshedl We shall see how such men preserve their pride of opinion, and how sincere they are when they make patriotic professions. The touch stone is now applied to them, ,and they must either stand to their faith, or pander, like hvpocrites, to the "powers that be-" "Meas- ures, not men," have been the watchword of the great democratic party. Let us see now whether those who have heretofore stood forward as high priests in the syna- gogue, and preached strict observance of this haIlowed phrase, will continue in well doing' The country has its eyes upon them, and we trust they may withstand its gaze.
 But in the nomination of Mr Johnson there is still another striking illustration of the plastic character of the democratic party in Arkansas. When they come together in Convention, they cannoi only unite in one harmonious whole every political element, however discordantit maybe, but they man. age, by means of some clnning device ut terIy unknown to us "ouside barbarians," !" 10 subdue all angry bickelings, rePress all family jars, and renew old friendships with rapidtv that is truly astonishing. A few days ago and there was a lankling in the hearts of some of the great champions of democracy in this State; feeling of undyng hostility towards other chies of the same party. This feeling had been long cher ished, and only wanted a suitable opportu- nity 10 develope itself in open and undls- guised warfare. But lol all these angry passions have been dissipated foeyer, and the late combatants now make "levelry by night" and all things go on as m:rriIy as 2 "marriage bell" Such are the dfects of 2 Democratic Convention in Arkamas, and i; it not singular thatwe should desir a world': Peace Convention, when mattersof serious difficulty can be adjusted at hom2

How Public Opinion is Manufactured

From the 'Southern Patriot" of April 25.
 We understand that our friends, the Se- cessionsts, in Greenvile, and Members of the Southern Rights Association, advertis- ed for meeting in the Court House last Saturday evening, and after some delay and "drumming," they collected some if teen persons, and thereupon proceeded to appoint fifteen delegates to represent Green vile in the Charleston Convention on the first Monday in May. Here are fifteen persons appointing themselves and others to represent district voting two thousand strong in convention, which, it is said. is to set the ball of revolution in motion. and prepare the way for secession by the State Convention next winter. This meeting. with all it's proceedings, goes forth to the world as public opinion, and will be so re- ported in all the papers of the State This is only one instance in hundred of the mode in which public opinion has been manufactured by few for the many throughout the State. The secession reso- lutons in Anderson were passed at meet ing of not more than thirty or forty persons, as we have been credibly informed. Pretty much the same thing occurred, we under stand, in Columbia.

Now this he does not do; the seats are not clean, as the dresses, coats and pants ot very many have attested on leaving Church. Shall this important matter be longer neglected?

The Democratic Nomination.

uufeu' Dy' Johnson, Esq, has been n tnrr9mtj=
 gently held at Little fttJc;a Con IIRe fe Demo-
 cratic candidate for Congress from the
 State ofArkansa8. He obtained maori.
 ty of but one vote over the whole; the con
 vention must, therefore, have been compos-
 ed of not very harmonious materials. We
 esteem Mir. Johnson as a very clever gen teman, and a man of fair ability: but we are disposed to doubt whether the people will coincide with the convention in sanc- | tloning his course on the exciting topics
 which occupied so warmly and earnestly the attention oi the last Congress. The "Banner," as was to be expected, is reioic-
 ed at his nomination, for he belonged to
 that branch of the Democratic party whose exponent the Banner was The Gazette & Democrat" does not relsl the nomina- ton so much; but evinces readiness to
 discard all preferences, and go for the nom-
 nee. They all approve Mr. Johnson's
 course in Congress, although we know it
 has been bitterly condemned by many in.
 fiuential Democrats. When we look at
 Mir. Johnson's address to the people of Ar kansas, at the time the excitement about Dlsunion was highest in Congress, we do not see how the convention could declare itself devotedly attached to the Union, and ln the same breath sanction the acts of Mir. Johnson who boldly advocated in his ad- dress to the people of this State, not only the necessity of seperation, out the benefits to the South to be derived from it. The questions settled by the compromise were highly momentous, and those of the people who favor that measure, would assuredy prefer voting for a man who sustained that measure; to one who strenouSly, and to the utmost ot his ability opposed it. However
 II may pc attempted to avoid this issue, il cannot be overlooked by the people. - Ilmes ha!e grown squally in Congress. and an out and out Union man should be there -one who would stand by the Constitution in the spirit of it's framers, and not rnn wild after the phantom of seperate State glory. We cannot say whether or not there will be another candidate in the field; but we should like to see one brought out in order to test the true sense of the people on questions vitaly connected with the best interest of the country. There will be no convention of course; and in looking round for suitable candidate to take the field against Col. Johnson, our mind has been fixed upon Capt. JOHN PRESTON, IT,, of Helena, as that person. We know noth- ing of his views or wishes on the subject, but merely suggest his name for the con- sideration of those who may be desirous that Union man should run. Should it meet the views of others and his own ap- probation and assent, we think he might push the Colonel, notwithstanding his ac: knowledged popularity Washington Tel- egraph.

Resolutions approving of the compromise measures were passed by a unanimous vote. A large delegation was appointed to represent the county in the Convention to be held al Jackson on Monday next
 Col. J. L. AIcorn was announced as a candidate for the November Convention. The secessionists, if there be any in the county, and if any, certainly very few have as yet given no intimation of an intention 10 run a candidate, indeed, the prospect O. such a candidate, if we are correctly in Horned, would be hopeless in the extreme as dsunionists has no foot hold in Coahoma ICoI.
