this law. Her present is obscure 'tis true,
but God only knows the future destiny
awaiting her Day after day we pass pc
titions praying the old Atlantic States for
favors, but the day is not far distant when
that will be reversed, and our brothers of
the Atlantic States will ask of us the same
favOrs. Let us then start fair and pure.
Let virtue and sobriety be kept constantly
in view; keep our citizens pure, and free
from all that will destroy intellect, morali.
ty and every better feeling of our nature.
Would that held a seat in this Legisla.
ture now, that might record my vote in
favor of this great principle. | would re.
jOice to place myself upon the record, and
when the session is over l would return to
my onstituency-ifbe beaten and driven from
the field, / would yet console myself in the
consciousness of right, and calmly wait the
day when the champion of great moral re-
form is called out to meet his reward.
Loud applause.
Understand, gentlemen, therefore, before
you act, what the law is, what its intent
that it is meant to prohibit the manufac.
ture, introduction and traffic in ardent
spirits.
A man may have his house filled with
liquors from garret to cellar, but he must
not sell it, or deal it out to any citizen II
is not otreally temperance society in itself
it effectually works that way. While it is
SO easy for a person to get liquOr-while
he has but to reach out his hand and there
it is, he cannot avoid taking glass. 1t is
not weakness, it is disease, a seed oi
corruption grown to huge tree, o'ershad
owing all that is pure and good in your
character. Do not denOunce the drunk
ard persuade him, talk kindly - much
harm has been done by the course pursued
by ill advised friends. l believe the only
hope for men of the character alluded TO-
is total removal of all opportunity to in
dulge in ardent spirits.
Fear not, gentlemen, 10 vote for a meas
ure fraught with SO much good Your con
stituents will not leave you at homeland
should they, let me say it is glorious to b.
martyr in SO good a cause. Stop thil
hoodgate of ruin-take away the species
of respectabilty of the rum traffic confer
red by your license system, pronounce thu
whole system an evil, and let me say l be
lieTe the people will 50 regard it.
We ask not for the enactment now of q
law to take effect at once-we want a law
giving to the people right to vote upor
the question. Fear not, then, your con
stituents-dS nothing for buncombe, but
refer the WhOla matter To the DNOnle anC

V Gen. 5. H. Montgomery who has re- gently become associated with Mir. Wheeler as partner in the Fort Smith Herald, thus de- clines the appointment rendered him bv the President:
 "The President of the United States has honored us with the commission to 20 (at onr own expense) to New Mexico as Indian agent. We have declined the honor, believing. from our knowledge of living in New Mexico, that the salary is not sufficient; and believing that the persons who act in that capacity, in order to make two ends meet, must cheat either the go- vernment or the Indians, and in that alterna- tive, we say-as somebody else said long before our day-"LO! the poor Ladsan!" And we think It our duty to ourself to decline the honor Of doing wrong to either party We have some little knowledge of how things are done by Indian agents in many instances, and speak of the corruptions of that office with knowledge of the facts.

Our Triumph.

The editor Of the Gazette becomes very her. vous when we allude to the subject of the larce vote by which his darling project of a conven- ton to remodel the constitution was reiected lie appears extremely solcitous to show that It was not democratic triumph and recites the votes of ta0o whigs against it and one democrat for 1t, to prove his assertions. What over. whelming proof!
 As a general vote, the democrats of this county are recorded against and the whigs t,7. the convention Butsupposng it not to be q democratic triumph; it then follows that ou,, individual triumph over the Gazette is all the more marked. The question was voted upon without reference to party, and the people eu naosse decided in our favor and against the Ga. zette. Let him take it as he pleases. We will not stop to split hairs with him.
 In noticing this subject, it is but just that we should award to the South West Independent Its share of the triumph. The bold decided course 1t pursued upon the question of "a con- ventlon to remodel the constitution" increased largely the majority against it. The editor of that paper always liberal in his views is very generally correct. Washington county went almost unanimously against the convention l,4O2 majority against it

REBUKE OF THE NEW ENGLAND CLERGY- The Warwick Baptist Association of New York at its last meeting, administered rebuke to the 5000 political clergy of New England who recently assumed to themselves the au- thority to speak the will of the Almighty, con- cerning the Nebraska bill. We quote the following from report adopted by the Asscia- ton:
 We utterly repudiate all fellowship with those who impiously assume to protest in the name of the Almighty God against the passage of laws for the organization of territorial gov ernment, or other purposes, and in His name to illuminate anathemas against the representatives of the people in the discharge of their official duties: And we regard the assumption that any body of men are divinely instructed to sit in judge ent upon all questions of moral and religious nature as one which, if recognized by the people, is calculated to destroy every vest ige of civil and religious freedom, and pros- trate all the institutions of our land at the feet of an irresponsible and arrogant priesthood"

 On motion of Judge Horror, Dr. JEFFER1Es was called to the chair, and J. J. JACKSON ap- pointed secretary. On taking the chair Dr. Jeferies explained the object of the meeting, after which Col REDMOND, of Monroe, was called on for a speech. He took the floor, and made some very appropriate remarks pledging himself to the support of Helena for the ter minus of said branch, all of which was receiv- ed by his audience with enthusiastic applause.
 On motion of Judge Horner, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted
 Resolue2, That the chair appoint committee of five, to draft memorial to the Legislature, at the next session earnestly requesting them to make the Mississippi branch of the Cairo and Fulton railroad terminate at Helena, Phil lips county. Arkansas.
 Reso9ved, That committee of eleven be ap- pointed, and each requested to take copy of said memorial, and obtain signers. and return the same to J. M. Cleveland, editor of the Demo- cratic Star, on or before the 25th of October next, to be presented to the next Legislature, by our members.
 Agreeably to the first resolution the chair appointed the following named gentlemen a committee for drafting memorial to the Legis- lature, viz: John s. Horner James M. Cleve- land, Henry M. Grant, Q. K. Underwood and John c. o. Smith. On motion Hon. Thomas B. Hanly and M B. Hewson, esq.,, were added to said committee.
 The chair then appointed the following named gentlemen for the purpose of obtaining signatures to the memorial to the Legislature J. s. Horner, J. NJ. Cleveland, Dr. Henry M Grant, o. K. Underwood, J. c. O. Smith, Thomas B. Hanly, NJ. B. Hewson, Col. Burke, Albertis Wilkins, J. w. Smizer and B. w. Green.
 On motion of Col. Redmond, the following named gentlemen, citizens of Monroe county, were added to said committee and requested to procure signers to said memorial in Monroe county viz: A. A. Burton, G. w. Baldwin, J A. Harvick, E. H. Bryan, Jones Wilbourn, and Green B. Atkins.
 James T. Moore esq.,, was next called to the floor, and made most eloquentspeech. Very sensible and appropriate remarks were also made by Dr. George Jeferes, Hon. John S. llorner, R. F. Sutton, esq., and Hon. Thomas B. Hanly.

The jury, we understand, were unanimously of conviction that this was the manner of her death yet wilf it be believed in the land of chi valry, and in the 18th contury?) they brought in verdict on paper that she "came to her death by some unknown means!" One of the jurymen, whom friend of ours conversed with, said they dared do nothing more-the Grahams were such desperate set that the whole neigh borhood feared them
 On the morning after the murder, one of the Grahams and the negro man before spoken of, early began to build a hay-stack near the house, and all the hustle, inquiry and confusion about the promises did not moment delay their work until 1t was done. The circumstance has given rise to suspicion that there is something connected herewith, and determination has been expressed to have the hay removed. If anything more of this affair transpres, our rea- ders shall hear the particulars.

GThe Washington Star comments as fol- lows on the statement, by liverpool paper, of the distances Russia has extended her frontiers within half century.
 Within the same space of time, Uncle Sam has extended has dominions from the Mississip- pi to the Pacific. At the present time, the old gentleman has one foot upon Central America and the other upon Cuba; one eve cooked at Canada, and the other leering impudently at the belligerents of Europe. As his appetite is always sharp set, there is talk of his soon swallowing Sandwich, and other savory slices to be furnished by His Serene Highness of Mexico and the Autocrat of all the Russias.
