declaration of those noble sentiments, and the con trast is SC much uncquaed that We will not attempt to compare them Tie people of this fast age are lar ahead of the ancient customs and fashions Ihey have laid aside all the rules and governments that were meted out to them by their forctathers, and have in some instances violated the very letter that guarantees to them the freedom and pleasure they now boast of. which were framed and adopted by their deceased fathers. (upon the tombs of whom the freedom of this country will ever breathe like thing in natural life and set at defiance all law o1 nature and obedience those who ought to long rest III the memory of their bosoms and even regard them as their ever living gods and most worthy fellow beings of their great intellectual knowledge and expe rience in the future age. But, however m thS i'St noe there is no reflection cast back upon those days which are past and gone, and not single thought ever called to mind of the great deeds and tTansac tions which were concocted in those former days, but in the present fast there are nothing seen py the eve of the office seeker and holder only his own m dvdual interest, not for the ashes or noble sen tmens of his deceased father or the great rulers and dictator of the former days past and gone The WAy grasp after riches and honor, IS the only eHeIt ana cry of the present age. The worlds history is even behind the age regard to the topics of the present generation the many changes and events Of the pre- sent miracles of the world entirely beyond the reach of the history of the country, the skill of the accomplished philosopher, and holds out inducements for still greater revolution in the affairs of the world than ever.

But it seems that some of the nobles and wanting to be kings of this country advocate the perpetual right monarchical power. which iS not in accordance with the cOnstiu- im of the several States of the Union that they have right any else to retain their position, and that there is no one else who qualified for office but themselves This right is monarchy to the very end, and n direct opposition to the of democracy and the constitution uf this Union. The people of this country have the right of suffrage guar antied to them by the laws of the land and not by perpetual inheritance, and the tyranny of kings and monarchical nations fhis country is one of freedom, and not of misery and oppression and dietatiun of royal family or mOnarchical inheritance. We then appeal to the people of Arkansas at the top of our voice. to enforce the princ e of rotation and re deem our long neglected State. from the grasp of the present eneumbents.- Hue BaFas Ltte(lgeAcer, helt ilM.
