ARKANSAS.

On the LIST instant a congressional convention OF the
democracy of the 9th district in Arkansas held AT
Batesyie for the purpose of nominating candidate for
the ensuing Congress. The Hon A. B. Greenwood, the
present member was rcnoninaed by unanimous vote.
A series Of resolutions unanimously adopted. We
take from them the following:
''whereas democratic party hath been in the
habit II hanging the principles by which they governed
upon the walls trusting the good Of the peo
pie for the maintenance Of the doctrines which characterize
them and therefore willing ntrust all with them and
whereas II is both right by the spirit Of institutions and
also accordance with democratic usage to boldly and
frankly declare these: Therefore,
Resolued That the doctrines of the resolu
tons Of Virginia Kentucky Of 98 and 100 the shb
boeth faith the subjects therein treated of and
affirm them.
Re.olred That the platform adopted by the last Balti-
Convention is that which stand and that
ogne in the resolutions then passed the principles
the democratic party viii acknowledge any
democrat who fails to sustain them.
Rosolped That Franklin Pierce has administered the
government with ability and fidelity and that the
pursued BY him his inaugural demands and our
unqualified approval and is such his aneceden. led us to
anticipate and consequently that have the highest
6dence in him and the distinguished citizens who compose
his cabinet
Rssolred, That we decidedly approve the
Stephen A. Douglas Of Illinois, upon the Nebraska question:
and agree with his view, Of the effects Of the principles de-
cdcd BY the compromise Of 1850 upon the subject
Of the power Of Congress the subject Of slavery
HResoipd That the known support given the above
by President Pierce ought silence forever caos
Of those who have charged him with disposition 70 advance
tho purposes Of free sellers and abolitionists."

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE.

In the midst of the general joy which has hailed the pas
sage of the Nebraska bill by the House of Representatives
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas the early and gallant champion
of that in the Senate of the United States every
where spoken of in of high praise His powerful and
speeches and letters did much to instruct and
direct the public mind and he has every to be
proud of the result of his abors far Although he has
been unscupuously assaled yet he has the proud
satisfaction know that his has been sustained
by his great party and by the approving voice Of thousands
of men heretofore identified with the opposition There is
not one page the history Of his noble upon which
the future will dwell with pleasure and profit than
that which commentaries his distinguished services
to the constitution of his country.
We confess that there is feature of this proud spec
tacIe that we dwell upon with undssembled peasureand
that that of the hundred and thirteen votes Tor the
Nebraska bill in the House of Representatives
democrats and that Of this number foryour are from
the free States The power of great principles and the
strength organization thus ncontestaby proved
There is another element in the canvass in the final
vote on this question the House which deserves es-
the South who aided the democracy in the popular
branch Of Congress TO pass this bill, and who SO ire
quenty bore testimony not alone against the subser-
viency the abolition power Of the North of the whole
wing party Of the free States but to the intrepid and un-
waveng courage Of the democratic column The isolated
position the energy the enthusiasm and the devotion OF
these fourteen contrasted concusivey with the bitter
and the perseverance against the bin of those who
still hope unite the wings of the South with the Seward
party of the North To the people Of the slave States this
aspect of the Nebraska struggle in Congress full of
ngs and much mistake if such gallant spirits Cling
man. Stephens Cruthers Abercrombie, &c. &cq will not
henceforth seek safety and friends outside Of those who
proclaim hostility to the constitutional rights of the
South us of the primary articles Of their creed
