LITTLE ROCK, 17th April, 1854.

-GENTLEMEN-
 In answer to your call upon me to be- come candidate for the State senate in this district, have briefly to reply, that should the democracy of the district hold a convention for the nomination of a candidate, I cheerfully consent that my name may be used before the convention for the nomination. But holding the triumph of our party as of more impor. tance than any mere personal success, in no case will 1 consent to be candidate against democratic opposition.
 Rendering to you, gentlemen, my thanks for the flattering manner in which you have made the call on me, remain,
 Respectfully,
 s. c. FAULKNER. To Messrs. F. G. Lefevre, Isaac c. Mills. A. j.. Hutt, and others.

HoN. JOHN BERRY-We notice in the Van Buren fntelligencer letter from this gentleman, stating his determination to become candidate for reelection to the State Senate. JUDGE BERRY is an old member of our Legislature and one who has served his constituents and the State faithfully and ably. In the Senate during last session he was an active and efficient member and occupied high position in the es- teem and regard of his brother Senators. He was always upon the right side of every ques. tion, to which he was pointed not only by the soundness of his judgment but by the good. cessful iii his political career and live many years to represent the counties of Benton and Madison.

Hon. Robt. w. Johnson, of Ark.

The press throughout the Union is bestow- ing the highest praises upon Senator JOHNSON for his perservering efforts in behalf of the h. dians upon our western borders The bill he introduced to organize three territorial govern ments for the Indians meets with general favor. Among the numerous notices of it, we find the following in the Duly Evening Star, published
 n Washington city.
 WASHINGTON NEWS AND GossIP.-A Good Work-We find the bill recently reported by Senator Johnson of Arkansas, from the Senate's Indian committee for the establishment of three territorial governments for the south western Indians, who are more or less civilized, rapidly working it's way into the favor of the public men in Washington. Like the bill of Mr. Orr, the chairman of the House committee on h. dian affairs, it proposes to at last begin the work
 in that quarter, of faithfully dischargng this governments duty to the Indians; Mir. Os pro-
 ect designing to begin it with reference to those in Nebraska. Mr. Johnson proposes to taketrom the south western civilized and haf-civilized tribes nothing which they now own, or enjoy by treaty with the United States; and while throwing around them the panoply of our con- stitution, and of such of the white mans laws as will be likely to further their individual and common prosperity, to leave them under the
 influence and operation of all Indian laws, which are still necessary m ther existing cOndltlOn.- This bill is evidently framed to train them in the art of self-government as practised by the whites, and to hold out inducements to them to initiate the whites hcreaftermore closely in their habits of life. l
 It's details, which are simple, are eminentlv
 I 4. them efectuallv from the sinister interference
 in their affairs of the class of unprncipled and interruptions whites, who at all times seek to prey on the Indian No white man is allowed under it to obtain the right of citizenship in either of the proposed new territories, except under restrictions which will practically pre-. clude all such but those who, ntemarrving with Indian women or follow the pursuit of ag- riculture among them Those by the by are prevented from obtaining any control over or identification with the rights or interests of the Indians, involved in their existing reservations or annuities.
 Mir. Johnson deserves the sincere thanks of all who bave the we'll being of the remnants of the tribes on our borders at heart His long experience with their affairs, at home, in ArAan- sas, and as chairman of the House Indian affairs committee, emnently qualities him to originate this important measure properly. And thus he has drawn up what is here pronounced more perfect bill or plan, than was ever before mooted ln Congress to the same end; the members being well aware that the question now is, will the United States at last do justice to the Indians? or will they pursue the policy of extinction to the bitter end? We repeat there seems to be very general desire among them to make this bill, law; which, we trust, will be cousummated ere the termination of the present session.
The true Democrat., 1854-04-18
The following or the same subject is from theeeBaltimore Sun:

thesBaltimore Spn:
 Inaddition to the territory of Nebraska, there are the Indian territories, Chel-o-kee, (Chero- keep Muscogee, Greek and Chap-ta, (Choc- taws) lying westof Arkansas, south of Kansas north of Texas, and east of New Mexico, to be organized for the purpose of extending the be- neiits oI civilization and republican selt-govern- mcnt to those gallant but unfortunate sons of the soil, who, without such an effort on the part of their natural protectors, must necessa- niy soon come in conflict with the white race and perish One of the tribes is now here urg- ing the measure which has been embodied in a bill introduced by Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas Ill the Senate.
 The bill, if passed will constitute an era in the history of the red man, and prove better than all abstract philosophy or romance his ca paclty for higher stage of humanity than has yet been occupied by him. If these territories are organized with the Indians consent, and repubhcanize{, white men will intermarry with the '' Red Republicans" and regenerate them in the only way in which old nations have ever been regenerated since the tood-by an intu- sion of new and better blood into their veins. How much Roman blood is there now in Rome? How much Greek blood in Athens?
