 Washington, D. C., Oct. ', '56.
 A sufficient period has elapsed since the meeting of the so-caled whig convention at Baltimore, which nominated Fillmore and Don- every part of the Union in regard to its acton What Is that sentiment? So far as 1 have been able to sec its action has not been respond ed to outside of the Know Nothing organiza- ton. The transparency was so apparent that 1t has deceived no one-in fact the whole af- fair falls till-born, and such old line whigs as Pearce, Pratt, Jones of Tennessee, Benjamin, Choate and host of other patriotic spirits, turning neither to the right or the left, and are nobly and manfuly battling for the constitu- ton and the Union, under the lead of Buch anan and Breckinridge.
 But that convention with its Know Nothing members proclivites, influences, and upon the nomination of Andrew Jackson Dopelson as their candidate for the Vice Presidency, who has during his life bitterly opposed the whig party and its leaders, and from whom no de- claration has gone forth that he has changed in that warfare, places itself before the country in rather a ridiculous attitude, when declaring to be whg and nothing but whig, and then upon the heels of such declaration, to make that nomination. It at once stamps the char acter of the affair, as under the exclusive and entire control of Know Nottingham, as no oth- CT party or faction, or ism, could nominate Donelson for such an important office.
 This sef-lauditory and sef-glorfying con- vention passed resolution declaring the de- mocratic and republican parties sectional, and as matter of course the Fillmore supporters national. A modest assumption indeed!- But how does it square with the record? That the free States alone, based upon the idea opposition to the south and it's institutions--is sectional no man can deny. But that the de- mocratic party with its organization in the thir- ty-one States of this conlederacy boldly advo- eating the same principles in each and every one of them, can be charged with sec;ionalism, is left to be discovered by this model conven- ton of hybrds. Let us see how stands the Fillmore party in regard to the charge of sec- tionalsm? The position of that party at the north tells the tale on them. They there have fused with the black republicans, the most sec- tonal party that ever had an existence in this country, and which this Baltimore convention has declared to be such. It must be admitted that. this charge of sectionallsm as against the democracy, comes with a bad grace from those whose allies and friends the north, are fusing with the worst enemies of the south and the Union to defeat the national democracy whose candidates for electors in all the north ern States where State elections have been or will be held this fall are canvassing for the black republican candidate on the State and Congressional tickets. Such cap-trap nummery about sectionalism had better have been "pre- termitted" by the Baltimore convention, as it will deceive no one, and only renders that ri- dculous farce the more ridiculous
 All accounts from Kansas agree that Gov. Geary has restored peace to this distracted terri tory, and greatly to the fear of the black repub- licans will continue it there until the meeting of Congress at least. This is sad blow to their prospects, and will add greatly to the de- mocratic strength. The notorious Lane, after numerous acts of robbery and llunder made good his retreat to Iowa, where he will active- ly engage in the canvass for Fremont
 The news from all quarters still continues cheering for the democracy, and unless our friends are greatly deceived in the signs all is well. By the time this reaches, you may have some accounts from the States that vote to-day week. In Pennsylvania our friends have made an active, and as they believe effective canvass, and if we can hold black republican. ism and Know Nottingham and all the other isms combined there agood fight, we are sure of the State in November. The best posted politicians there believe we will defeat these isms combined by between and 10000 maio- rty.
 The other States, Ohio and Indiana, our friends are confident of doing we'll in, if they do not carry them, ir the State election. In Indiana as in Pennsy ylvania, we have to fight the isms combined, while such is not the case to the same extent in Ohio.
 The southern States, no fears are entertain ed of, and with them it is only a,qrestion of majorities. What will Arkansas do? As she did so we'll in the State election it would be fair to suppose she may be the banner State. But let her see to it, as Georgia is confident that she will bear of the banner offered by Col. Flournoy at the Cincinnati convention. She can if she wills it give 13,OOO majority. Let the democracy see that it is done.
 Yours, etc., ARKANSAS.
