A Know Nothing AbOlitiOnist.

(1e0rge D. Prentice of the Louisville Journal is the great light of Know Nottingham at the south. He was once rank, open -mouthed abolitonst, and is, at the present day, no bet ter In all the struggles of the south, his pen and influence are always exerted in behalf of northern fanaticism. He is uniformly opposed to every measure proposed for the benefit of the south. He denounces the repeal of the Missouri compromise. He opposes the Kan sas-N ebraska bill.
 | In 1929, Prentice edited the Weekly Re- uie1o," paper printed at Hartford, Connecticut, and on the 27th of July, 1929, he wrote and published the following editorial:
 "The purchase must be opposed. Every man who does not wish to see the power of the northern and western States depart forever; every man who does not wish to see dozen new slave States added to the Union, and to hear the cries of additional millions of wretch ed negroes going up to meet the Lord in the air, and imprecate vengeance upon our land, twill op- pose the purchase of Texas with deep and irresistible determination"
 We ask southern slave -holders- southern Know Nothings themselves, if they can longer submit to the leadership of such man. Come out from the foul rarty. Show your scorn fol such southern abolitionsts as George ?. Prem tice! An association with him is degrading tc southerners.

One Thousand Guns for Arkansas

The following is the mention made by the Memphis Appeal of our victory in this State The Arkansas democracy deserve it all:
 "Such victory as the lion hearted democra- cv of Arkansas have just achieved, was never before lost or won For the latest and best re- turns, we refer to the letter of our Little Lock Correspondent As far as heard from Yell has carried but two counties, Phillips and Pu- laski The whole State seems almost unani- nous for Conway and democracy. What lit tie was left of Sam in Arkansas by the freezes of last winter, has been burned out by the dog days of August. Arkansas may now be set down as the banner State in the Union. Her majority, in proportion to her population, is equal to majority of one hundre} and seuenty btousand in the State of New York, and we should not be at all surprised that if in No- vember next, Buchanan and Breckinrdg ge should carry every county in the State! The noble democracy of this little commonwfhe have covered themselves with immev of the for which they deserve and the battle was thanks and gratitude otsted on every inch of whole Union. Wry is as complete as it is warmly andoGr foes. Again we say Mou- grounds for Arkansas, the banner State of ae Union.'

The News.

CoNGREssIoNAL-We have not had any news whatever fiom the east for four or five days, until yesterday large mail arrived, too late for us to give our readers much news from 1t. To sum up: Congress ad journed on the 18th inst All the appropriation bills were passed except that appropriatng some eleven million of dollars for the army The House attached to the army appropriation bill noviso that the army should not be employed to enforce the Kansas territorial laws The Senate rejected the proviso. The two bodies were unable to agree and consequently no appropriations have been made for the army. The President then issued call for an extra session of Congress to convene on the 21st of August. If the aboll- tionists in the House persist in their revolutlon- ary schemes the result will be the dsbanding of our army.
 We have stirring news from Kansas. The abolitionists, 800 in number, have invaded Kansas, and are carrying everything before them. The southerners are offering despe- rate resistance, and call for aid from the south- ern States. The news is not very accurate or reliable. There is but one thing certain, and that is, there is great deal of stir and excite ment in Kansas.
 Our late exchanges are filled with the letters of old-hne wings and even old-line Know Nothings, coming out in favor of Buchanan and repudating Fillmore, as not being in the race At the North the old-line whig party, what re- mains of it, to man, are declaring for Buck and Breck RUFUS CHoATE, of Massachusetts, an old whig and the author of the sentiment tue join ourselves to no pary 0sat does not carry tue flag and keep step to tue music cf tue Union," has boldly come out in favor of Buchanan and Rreckinridoe

How to Vote for Presidential
 Electors.

The question has often been put to us, how are the electors to be voted for-by the State at large, or are two of them to be voted tor by districts? We have examined the subject and the result of our examination is as follows:
 The constitution of the United States pro- yjdes in art. 2 sec. l, that each State shall ap- point in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct. number of electors equal to the whole number of Senators and representatives to which the State may be entitled in Con- gress.
 The act of Assembly of Arkansas approved and in force September "A, 1886, and found in the Digest at page 474, authorizes the quail fled voters of the State to "proceea to choose as many ft and proper persons, as tue Sote shaA be entitled to, aS electors of President and Vce Pre- sident; aolic7s election shall De conducted by the judges aoho may haze been appointed to hoM the general elections of the State for the same gear and under the same regulations oRptcab1eto to such general elections"
 No other or different provisions has ever been made. and this continues to be the law of Ar kansas in reference to the election of presden- tial electors As c coaseque'ace our electors jour in number, HAMPSTEAD, BURRow, GREEN and Mccoy, aciU Je uotea for by general ticket, through out the State, avithom regard to district.
 We invite the attention of our contempora- ries throughout the State to this fact, and sug gest to those of them who have at their mast head the names of GREEN and Mccoy as dis trict electors, the propriety of dropping the dis tinction, and publishing the names of the w'ole four as electors "at arge," irrespective of any district By this course no voter will bc mis- led into the belief that he must vote for two electors at large and only one district elector.- t is Ae privt7ege of every citizens ef Arhansas to vote for jour electors.
 The same suggestions we make, also, to the Know Nothing papers. Their case will be the same as the democrats, provided they do not become so thoroughly disgusted as to abandon the contest before the time of holding the cleo ton.
 The election is to be held throughout the United States on the FIRST TUESDAY of Mo- MEMBER next which is the 4th day of that month

Arkansas for EiiImOre!!

We find the following rich item of news in the New York Herald of the 9th. If Mir. Fillmore's chances for carrying one State de- pend upon Arkansas, his case is desperate one indeed. We do not believe single State can be named that will vote for him.
 THE LATE ELECTIoNs.-The late elections show that there is political revolution at work all over the country. In Kentucky and North Carolina, it is developing itself against MT. Fillmore. In Arkansas, strangely enough, it appears to have gone against Buchanan, and given Mir. Fillmore prospect of one State, and that one the last of all to be expected sas. In Missouri, the election of Blair to Con- sress, freesoller, IS a remarkable sign of the times; and the overwhelming victory of the Fremont party in Iowa is living illustration of the tremendous popular farore for Fremont Altogether these elections, as thus far report. ed, show that the battle is between F remont and Buchanan, and that wherever he is tried, Ere mont is equal to the crisis Let us wait little longer. The tide is just setting in.

Too Bad tO Tell!

The readers of the Gazette will look in vain through the columns of its last issue for infor nation of the result of the election. The Ga- zette, from the first, has shrank from giving the yote. It published few counties only, and Suggested to its readers to wait for the "5ack Scounties'" "SAM"-poor Sant'' is as silent as the tombs! Whipped, skinned, fayed alive, and that too after some of the the loudest and most impudent boasting ever indslged in, he Ineekly draws in his horns and lies down to die.
 This is the first instance on record of news paper being so badly whipped that it is asham- ed to publish the vote! Chyiaopler ColansJas Daniey has received his frs, lesson as Know Nothing editor. We advise him to follow the wise example of his predecessors, Mir. Wood ruff and Dr. Borland, and abandon the tripod The democrats will never receive him again -the opposition will never go into another contest under his lead.

APPLYINs THE RULE.-A few days ago ar lrlshman was asked by Beecher- Parker. re- volving- bible rife disciple, if he was going tc vote for Fremont, when the honest Hiberniar made the following reply:
 :" am not in the country long enough to vots for Fremont"
 "Why not-how long are you in the coun try" inquired our friend of the black. mixed political creed Five years," replied the Irishman
 Well, that is long enough if you have youl papers," said Sam.
 "l know," said the witty son of Erin, "that is long enough for Buchanan voter but you know 1t takes t,oenty-one gears to make a Ere mont voter, and, be the hokey, I'll stay the time out before vote for him." Sam sloped, muttering something about tn @ Pope.-M'1,oaukee Working Han.

 THE NORTHERN DEMoCRAcY.-The follow. ing well deserved tribute appears in letter of Congressman Orr, of South Caro lima. upon the subject of the Cincinnati democratic conyen- ton. In behalf of the south he bestows this well earned need of praise upon the northern democracy for their steadfast and unhiuching support of our rights and institutions against the most powerful, unmitigated and unscrupu. lous opposition ofall other factions and "isms."
 These are simple facts from the record.- Wonder If our Know Nothing friends will en- dorse the statement?
 "The northern democracy aided us to bring lnto the Union Texas, magnificent sayehold Ing territory large enough to make four slave States, and strengthened us more in that pecu- lar interest than was ever before done by a single act of the federal government Since then they have amended very imperfect fugi- tive slave law, passed in 1793, and have given us now a law for the recovery of fugitive slaves, as stringent as the ingenuity of man could devise. Since then, they have aided us by their votes in establishing the doctrine of non-intervention with slavery by Congress in the territories. Since then, they have actually repealed the Missouri restriction. opened the territories to settlement, and enabled us, if the south Will be true to herself, to aid in people, Ing Kansas to form another State In l849 a man would have been pronounced insane had he predicted that slavery would be introduced there by the removal of Congressional restrc- tions."

Mrs. Richards Young Ladies Institute
 We copy, with great pleasure, the following just trlbute from the Arkadel phia Traveller, to the proposed establishment by Mr. and Mrs. Richard:
 |" We invite attention to the advertisement of thIs institution ln to-day's paper. Mr. and Mrs. klchard came to Arkansas under high recom- mendations, as every way we'll qualified for the invaluable and delicate profession in which they are engaged. We have before us many notices of the press of the success which at- tended their teaching in the eastern States; and from these, as we'll as other testimonials of suc- cesStul proficiency, we feel no hesitation in re- commenting their school at Little Rock. to the attention and patronage of our south western Arkanslan readers, who desire to afford their daughters and wards the advantages of thor. ough cducation
 The determination of Mr. Richard to make Little Rock his future home; and to establish there permanent FINALE COLLEGE, should meet with generous and liberal patronage from our citzens;--and we hail this enterprise as an omen of good to our section of the State. While we have many excellent female schools Tn southern Arkansas, as at Tulip, Camden Washington, etc., we yet need a college in which a complete course of studies, embracing aH the branches of female education. can be at. taned and we feel confident that this dissider. alum will be supplied by the enterprise of MT.

ARKANSAS CoLLEGE.--We have often had occasion to alude to this hourishng and ably conducted institution. It is located at Fay etteville, Washington county, as healthy and beautiful site as there is in the State.

QUI WYE
Forty Thousand People at a Barbacue.


 We have before us, says the Evansville En. quirer, several descriptions of great demo. cratic borbacue held last week in Conpersyih on W hite Water river, in Fayette county in this State. It was the largest democratic gath. ering ever held in that abolition region of h. diana. We give few extracts from the de. scription by the editor of the Cincinnati En. quirer, who was present. and was one of the speakers on the occasion:
 By far the largest asSembage of the presep, political campaign-and we doubt if it was ever before equaled in any previous campaign came oil at Conhersville, Indiana, on Thurs. day, the 7th of August.
 l Connersville Is rather out of the-way town about twenty miles west of the Ohio line. No railroad approaches 1t nearer than twelve miles It would be vain, unacquainted as we are with the various localities represented to attempt description of them all. There was not a village or township for thirty miles around which was not represented in the grand array Some of the caravans appeared end. less. It was difficult, when they all arrived to marshal them into procession, but, when an a tempt was made, the line extended four or five miles, It was composed altogethero of vehicles and horSemen, there being no footmen in the procession.
 We counted thrty-two hickory wagons. ave raging sixty or seventy feet long, built of large hickory logs-all filled with young ladies-al dressed in white, red and bue,. and their hair decorated with flowers and ever-greens. Each township had wagon containing thirtv-ope girls-and lovely, rosy, bright eyed happy glrls they were-representing the States of the Onion, each bearing a banner marked with the name ot the State represented on one side and the names of BuChauan and Breckinridge on the other. Banners were borne by each wagon, inscribed with some appropriate motto.
 he Jackson wagon Was nearly concealed by hickory bushes.
 One wagon, or rather car of large dimensions and very handsomely ornamented. contained one hundred lovely girls waving banner bear Ing this motto: "The Hoosier girls are all for Buchanan and Breckinrdge"
 Some estimate of the numbers may be formed from the quantity of food consumed, of which we obtained exact details from the committee There were supplied for the occasion five hun. dred hams, five thousand three hundred and lofty chlckens, seventy fvesheep, fifteen beeyes ana three wagon loads of bread.
 Hundreds who were on the ground were una ble to reach within forty feet of the table and had to lick their dry chops, while the ladies were dong justice to the liberal spread We saw several hungry democrats casting furtive ana iustful glances at the fat steers which were attached to some of the hickory wagons.

They regard the United States with great jealousy, and would hail with shouts of joy a rupture among the States.

 We should be sorry Co see Mir. Buchanan elected, because he IS in favor of preserving the obnoxious institutions as they exist, and the unity of the States.
