another lady, Mrs Lyle, they proceeded
to persuade them from the enterprise, they

They had not got many yards. from the land when

The Rock ISLAND BrIpaF.--We learn from the
advertiser, that the Rock Island railroad comp any
are likely to meet With some trouble in carrying out
their plan for the extension Of the railroad track
beyond the Mississippi by means of bridge across
that river at Rock Island. The town Of Rock Idand
it win be remembered, is the western terminus OF
the Chicago and Rock Island railroad. On the op-
posite side of the river, at Davenport, commences
the Mississippi aud Missouri railroad, which ex.
tends to Council Bluffs. The Mississippi at this
point ia divided into two channels b. the leland Of
Rock Island, which is scveral miles long, aud con
tains seven hundred acres Of land. The Island be-
longs to the United States, and the Rock River
Company proceeded, under the general law Of Con-
eress, granting right Of way to railroads through
the United States public lands, unless such lauds
are actually occupied by custom houses navy yards,
forts, &C.. to build their bridges across both chan

the Mississippi and Missouri railroad. But recent

The Largest Circulation.

As the question to what paper has the lar gest circulation in this State is one of some in- terest to the advertising public We shall be ex- cused for insisting upon having ii solved.
 It is well known to the community that dur ing the last twelve months or more, the Whig has kept standing at its head the bold decara- ton thatit had Co Mrger circulation A,aa any otea paper in tue ,Sate'' This we have denied, and, in order to test the matter proposed in our last issue to submit our subscription books to an ar- bitration. But the Whig, instead of promptly agreeing to a proposition so fair and liberal, re- mains silent, and leaves us and the public to infer that 1t has made pretentions to a claim it does not possess.
 The question of the largest circulation is one that has been raised by the Whig itself Its standing declaration is challenge to every pa- per in the State, and as such; is one we are per fectly willing to accept. How then can the Whig decline it? By having created the inn pression that it has the largest circulation it has already received benefits, in the matter of the city post office advertisements, which we do not think 1t entitled to- Let it come out then and have the question decided; its own repu- taton demands that it shall now act, and swagger and boast no longer.
 It is not our desire to claim any thing that does not rightfully belong to us. We are will ling to award to the Whig every merit to which it is entitled but to it's arrogant and unjust as- sumption, we are not disposed to submit We believe that we have the larger circulation of the two, and, in order to try the question, we challenge the Whig to an arbitration of it, Dare it accept?

A Northern Man of the Right Stamp

We find in late Baltimore Sun, the follow ing notice of speech delivered in the House on the 10th inst, by the Hon. Mr. Mcdonald, of Maine
 This morning Mr. Mcdonald, of Maine com menced opening his batteries on free-soilism, l abolltlonsm and clerical interference with po- lltlcs His attack reassembed in boldnees and intrepdity the great attack made by his name- sake, Marshal Mcdonald, on the morning of the celebrated battle of Wagram The speech was fearless one, and did much honor to his courage and devotion to the constitution and the Union. Mir. Mcdonald denied the rightof the Legislature to instruct him, pitched into the Hartford convention and by bold and skillful manGuvre, charged the enemies of the Ne braska bill in front and on the left wing. His speech was listened to with great attention. and is very favorably commented upon by the friends to the bill.
 In the same connection the correspondent of the Sun, says
 Mr. McD. was followed by Mr. Faulkner. of Vrglnla, on the same side in aspeech deliver ed with great tiuency, and embodying all the arguments in favor of the bill which can be presented by southern man. Nebraska has had fine day of it, and it is clear that the oiil, Ii brought up any time in July or August, VIII receive majority of the votes. The Clay ton amendment, however, refusing the right oi i suffrage to aliens who, though they may have hled their preliminary declaration have not yet been hve years in the country, to. become citi- zens, Is sure to be first knocked out of the bill.

CST Had not the Gazette quoted for unwor- thy purposes that portion of the proceedings of the Hot Spring county convention, paying a compliment to Robt. w. Johnson, we should have thought quite favorable change had come over it. since its disreputable act of garb- ling the Lawrence county resolutions.
 The resolutions passed in Lawrence county complImenting Sebastian and Johnson, were shamefully garbed of that portion, because they did not, in the face of the truth, award a like credit to Senator Borland. The resolutions were i'll relation to the Cairo and Fulton grant of land, and the compliment to Johnson and Sebastian Gas suppressed by the Gazette) was i'll consideration of their services in obtaining its donation by Congress- The Gazette, in it's anxiety for Senator Borland, thought that he should be equally complimented, though he opposed the interests of Lawrence county by opposing the Cairo and Fulton bil The Se- nator not only did mot)ting for the bill, but he exhibited his hostility to it in an elaborate speech remarkable only for its denunciations and it's broad mistatement of facts. And for this req son-because he was not equally compliment ed as a friend to the Cairo and Fulton railroad the Gazette garbled the resolutions of the citizens of Lawrence county and purposely mlsrepresented their sentiments
 While criticising the language and expressions of the Hot Spring County proceedings the Gazette should remember these things and its silence when questioned about them

Senatorial Convention of Prairie Perry and Pulaski Counties.

We invite the attention of our democratic friends in Prairie and Perry counties to the proceedings of the meeting held in this place on Saturday last.
 The whig convention meets on the 3rd of June to make it's nomination for State Sena- tor and, we presume will put forward one of their abest men.
 The democratic convention is appointed for the Saturday following the 10th of June. We sincerely hope that the democrats in Prrie and Perry counties will take the matter in hand, hold conventions and appoint delegates that will attend. The election of a State Senator Is one of great importance. We have decided ly majority in the district, and if we are unit ed, can secure the election of democratic Sen ator. Let the democrats unite and they will triumph

 The performance doubtless will be rich and will attract a large audience. The excitement to see the learned bear will be intense.

THE TRUE DEMOCRAT Reduction of Subscription Price The Cheapest Paper now in the State.

Having enlarged our subscription list to such an extent that we can afford to supply our sub- scrbers with the True Democrat at cheaner rates, we shall reduce our aduance price, for the future, to the sum of taco dol1ars.
 The rates of subscription will be as follows: In advance. .........................S g. co At the end of six months s... 25O At the end of the year ................. 800
 In making this reduction in our terms. we are actuated by desire to extend far and wide the circulation of our paper. In reducing the advance price to the moderate sum of two dol lars, we place it in the power of every citizen in the State to become subscriber.
 Though our subscription list already far ex- ceeds that of any other paper in Arkansas it is still not so great we desire and intend it shall be. The success we have met with in the last eighteen months, having in that time nearly dou- bled the number of our subscribers, has been en- couraging. We hope that our friends, who have heretofore, so generously interested them selves in extending the circulation of the True Democrat, will continue their exertions. With the reduced price, we trust many hundreds of new subscribers will be obtained for us
 All post masters are authorized to receive subscription money for Us and forward it at our risk
