with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
! be published only ia pOlumss and the issue OF Sc
Parate parts will be discontinued. Ii is found that
the second part of each volume follows so rapidly
after the hrst, that the advantages OF publishing
by parts uniInportant Each volume will here
after appear once in two months, in the same size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
mgiy low rate OF So per volume to permanent sub
| scribeTs.
The profession need not be reminded that this ia
the only series of Reports either in England or in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions OF ALL the English courts. In this series
every reported Except nsi prius decsions) Is
given In FULL, without condemnation or abridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
Ii may be proper .tso to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
s In this country, but that each series of Rcports
Is there conducted solely as private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it Is believed that for
PRoMPTNkss, ACCURACY, CLEARNEss, land m EvTY-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal, and the Jurist Series not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case of
Crois oS. Beale, Is Eng Rep, IOS,) iDhere the com
ParatiUe accuracy Of the La,u Journal Reports, and
the contemporans0us reports Gf Manning y Gran
ger as TO the true pleadings IN former case, iras
directly tnuotped. In haatcase Jrois, the ChiJ Jus
tice Of the COns0n Pleas, observed: at is clear that
he plea IN Sison Us. kidman, as reported IN Man.
& Grang. $40, is not correct The plea, as it is re.
ported IN the Lar Journal Reports is just asmy bro
Mer Maule supposes !" In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they win
be found to contain many valuable cases not
elsewhere reported, while NO CASE IN ANY other
other series will be omitted in this. Arrangements
have been made whereby this seres will contain
all the reported cases in the Jurist and Law Jour-
nall in Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
of Lords; K. +. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports of simons, Hare, Beavan, De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
the Courts of Equity; Adoiphus and Ellis, Man.
ming. Granger and Scott, and Welsby, Hurlstone
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courta; also the
Criminal Reports of Denson, Temple and New,
and E. w. Cox; the Admiralty Reports of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Robertson
combination of legal reports entirely unequaIied
in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that, hereafter, they will be dgested
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest.
The first six volumes will be contained in Vol. v.
of he Annual Digest, now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an.
nexed recommendations.

urHIG CONTENTION.

On Monday, May 24th, A. D. 1852, al large and respectable number of the Wings of Phillips county meta the court house in pursuance to a call, for the purpose of nom- mating candidate for the Senate, for Mon roe and Phillips Counties, and candidates for the Legislature; whereupon Col. ELISHA BURKE was called to the Chair, and J. T. MOORE, on motion, was appointed Sec'y.
 After the object of the meeting had been explained by the President, it was moved and ado pted that committee of eleven be appointed by the President to recommend to the meeting suitable candidates for the Senate and House of Representatives.
 Whereupon the Chair appointed the fol- flowing committee, to-wit: NJ. Packet, Jas. w. Smith, Richard Kndle, MT. Groves, Warren Smizer, Dr. Alexander B. Thorn ten, Jno. Pattison, Eli T. Diamond, Will liam Wilkins and Richard Gail, who retired few minutes for conference, and returned with the following report;
 We, the committee, unanimously recom- mend JOHN MARTIN to the Convention as a suitable candidate of the Whig party to Irepresent the counties of Phillips and Mon Iroe in the State Senate at the next Leglsla- lure.

THE WHIG CANDIDATES.

In another column will be found the pro- ceedngs of the Whig meeting held ill ths place on Monday last, to nominate candl- dates for the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives. It is with no ordinary feelings of pride we point to the nominees of that meeting The selection of MARTIN, POLK and WILKINS, is one, we feel sure, that will give satisfaction 10 the Wings of the Dis ,rict and county. They are gentlemen in whom their friends can safely repose that sort of confidence which is so necessary to the success and advancement of those Prln- clples of the Whig party which have, on more than one occasion, ministered to the salvation and prosperity of the country.- Their locality in the county is such as to give fair representation 10 every section' and their individual interests and feelings are closely identified and interwoven with the great mass of the people. As to the abilities of these gentlemen, they are known to be of high order They are practical business, matter-of-fact men-such as are wanted in the Legislative Halls of our State men who have the mind to grasp, the industry 10 investigate, and the nerve to execute-and, if elected, will, undoubtedly. faithfully discharge the important and re- sponsbIe duties of Legislators.

Candidate for Governor.

We present today to the Wings ot Ar kansas, as candidate for Governor, the name of Col. GEORGE w. UNDERHILL, ot Crittenden county, and at present a mem, Der of the State Senate from the counties of Crittenden and Mississippi Col. UnderhiIl is now serving his second term in the Sen- ate of the State, and during the time that he has been in that body, no ou0 has made more favorable impression upon those with whom he has been associated, for sound and enlightened statesmanship, practical ability, honesty of intention and purity of purpose, than he has.
 In surveying the broad limits of the State we know of no man more worthy 10 fill the Executive Chair than GEORGE w. UNDER HILL; and should his name meet with the concurrence of the Whig party, and the State of Arkansas be fortunate enough to have him for her Chief Magistrate, she will well deserve reorganization. The active energy and business habits of Col. UNDER HILL will soon remove from the present aspect of governmental affairs the odium with which honest men of all parties are disposed to cothe them. He is "honest faithful, capable" and to this we may ado that he is efficient. and, if elected, he would make the best Governor that the State o Arkansas has ever had. We commend him 10 the consideration of our Whis friends throughout the State, as eminently worthy of their suffrages.

The Health of Mr. Clay.

If the solemn truth of any one of Natures laws is more rigidly enforced upon the human race than another, it cer tainly is, that "Death is no respector of persons" He moves among men ot all conditions as the clouds of heaven are swept indiscrminately over the bleakest and the fairest portions of the earth. Neither the association of power and grandeur, of ex- cellence and worth, nor the charms of in- nocence and of all that is lovely, can evade his ruthless grasp. This truth is forced upon us at present by the fact that, appa- rently, one of the tallest monuments of hu- man greatness is about to be removed from the earth.
 Our advices from Washington for several weeks past touching the illness ot Mr. CLAY, convinces us that all hopes of his being again permanently restored to health, are utterly hopeless. Disease has for weeks, if not
 months, past been proving upon bis system
 and wasting his strength, until Gas late
 despatch represents hm) he is as feeble as
 a child, with scarcely the strength to turn
 himself in bed. It is sorrowing to see one of the noblest of earth reduced 10 so help
 less a condition. He may yet, perhaps
 finger on few weeks or even months, bu it is evident that the days Of his usefulness are nearly passed and his earthly pilgrim
 age near it's close. Conscious of the purity and uprightness of his motives through life he calmly awaits the hour of his dissolution
 with the composure of the christian. The portals of the tomb seem open 10 receive him, and many days cannot pass ere he vii sink into their quiet rePose. Long years if not generations, must pass, before deatt can again rob the human family of so price less member, or so slgnally vindicate hi ; sway over all things mortal.

Old States and new States-slave States and free States-Northern States and Southern States-are all here lying quietly together, in the friendly embrace of commerce. But, look again; from what countries came these cargoes of merchandise and produce? Is it not one and the same country!
