CT Why is the Arkansas river, at the pre-. sent time, like certain projected ralroal?
 Answer, because it IS the Fort Smith and Lit. tie Rock branch.-Cush. cf the h'depealent.
 Oh! the vile wag We intend to be on and in Fayetteville at the next setting of the Cir. cult Court for Washington county, and present the editor of the Independent for this libel upon our river.

CESSION OF THE SANDWICH IsLANDs.-A c

CESsIoN OF THE SANDWICH IsLANDs-A cor respondent of the N. o. Picayune, writes as follows from Washington under date of Sept 12:
 The statement that the long looked for treaty ceding us the Sandwich. Islands has arrived is true believe. Atall events, the administration is we'll satisfied that that acquisition is accomplish ed, and that the whole matter is now in such shape that there can be no further missfre in the case. An accidental delay, some months since, in the transmission of instructions to Mir. Gregg, our commissioner alone prevented the arrival of the treaty in time for ratification at the close of the late session of Congress. As the terms upon which the cession would be &C., ceptable were dictated from here, there can be no doubt they are such as will be of great ad- vantage to Us, and especially to our commerce on the Pacific. The possibility of any interfer- ence in this quarter now by England or France is secuted by all parties here.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE

We are daily receiving letters expressing the deep
est adherence Of the foul deed just cOnsummated at
Washington and asking what the writers do in
the present emergency. We reply, there is enough
TO DO But we say to one and all don't enlist in the
war now commencing and engage to lead of unless you
are ready and willing TO york. for by doing you may
throw better out opOsts they would gladly occupy
But if you are really in earnest why begin, and first:
Establish committees, associations leagues in every
county town and school district in the free States to
promote the object of restoring the Missouri Com
promise line To reestabsh that landmark of free
dom is the first great object now before US.
Secondly: Take the proper steps to get the right
men nominated to Congress. Exact pledge Of
every candidate that he will support the of
Restoration, first last and always. After this insist
upon two other requisites and let the rest go. Get
men who have backbone, and who won't cheat. The
difficulty with the present Congress is that great
mistake has been made in its composition Men have
been sent to Washington who were intended for the
penitentisry.
Thirdly; Prepare to receive the members who
have sold out, in becoming manner, when they shall
return home Their act has been significant, let their
reception be significant.
FOurthly: Examine the plan for Freedom" put
forth in this days paper, and enter upon the abOrs
there suggested.
We here present ample scope for the activity and
energy of every and suggest fields Of operation
which al may proftably engage.

New-York daily tribune., 1854-05-29

The newspapers and Congressional debates have
recently disclosed the fact for some weeks carefully
concealed, that private meeting or caucus OF the
southern Wing Senators held soon after the trst
presentation of the Nebraska bill by Douglas, wherein
means were taken to produce concentration OF south
ern Wing strength in favor of said bill, and propo-
stion was made and not opposed to have The National
InfeHigeneer disciplined for its opposition to that
scheme And the account further disclOses that Mr.
Robert Toombs Senator from Georgia, was an active
and leading member of sad caucus.
We should like to understand this business. We
remember the time when the said ToOmbs called HIM
self Whig and was regarded by his associates in
the House as about the most l-mannered and unbear-
able member of that party. He seemed constitution
ally unable to forget that he was slayedriver and
thus to be eternaly cracking his whip over the heads
of his compatriOts Thus when the National COnyen-
ton of IS48 met in Philadelphia it was very distinct
y proclaimed by the political firm of Toombs X Ste
pheRs traders in politics generally, that if Henry Clay
should be nominated, they would bolt aud run Gen.
TAYLOR as stump candidate. Well, they had their
way in this: but when the first Congress under Gen.
Taylors Presidency assembled, they had got 'of the
books some how and disOrganzed the House for three
weeks refusing to unite the chOiceOf Whig Speaker,
finally terminating the anarchy by going in for Howell
Cobb, the Opposition candidate, and electng him.
Gen. Taylor died the next summer but not till after
TOombs had undertaken to crack his whip over the
head of that honest old soldier and been treated as he
deserved to be. Old Zack would not be used by
Toombs to promote the views OF the Slavery prOpo-
panda and TOombs became of his bitterest ad-
versaries The next year the Whg party of Georgia
was dissolved by Toombs and Stephens, who turned
over it's effects as their stock in trade to new
cencern they christened the Union party" eectins
thereby Howell Cobb Governor and making TOombs
Git should have been Stephens) U. S. Senator. Since
then, we never heard nor suspected till now that
Toombs even pretended to be Wing. He opposed
Gen. Scott with all his might, and, on the platform Of
the last Union State Convention, disayowed and de-
nounced every cardinal principle for which the Whg
party had ever contended Yet it is under the lead OF
this gentleman that Messrs. JOHN NJ. CLAYTON,
JAMES A. PEARCE, THOMAS G. PRATT, JAMES c.
JONES and the successrs of HENRY CLAY and JOHN
j. CRITTENDEN in the Senate now hold Wing meet
tDgs. OF course they do not desire the further fe
lOwshp and support of anti-Slavery Wings and could
not have it if they did

PETER ROWE OF SCHENECTADY.

We have noticed nothing more amusing lately than
call upon the nine Democratic members OF the House
from this State who voted for the Nebraska BILL to
issue an address to the people urging them to stand by
this measure The call is enforced by the suggestion
that unless they do they will be erushed out" and
the Democratic party in the North become abso-
.utely pOweress under the presence of the Anti
"Savery Coalition"
Appropos to this suggestion, and illustrative Of the
immense weight this immortal nine might be ex-
pected to carry with them in such recommendation,
we invite attention to the following letter from
the XvIIIth District in this State, misrepresented
by PETER Rowe one ofthat notorious phaanx ofnine;
