Judge Perkins--tAe Judge that gave an
opinion on prohibiting doggeries, has given
an opinion lately on slaughter houses. Our
readers remember that he is Of opinion that
the Constitution forbids prohibiting the traf
&c in intoxicating drinks, (some are mean
enough to say he alludes to certain human
constitutions let us see what he thinks OF
slaughter houses. "To understand this
case" as the lawyers would say, we must
say that some people, residents of the Capt.
| tai. think that hogs are 1T to be eaten, and
in order TO be eaten, they must first be kill
ed, and, in killing them, there is money to
be made. We will not say they are right,
but such is their opinion. Some Of these
think they can make most money by having
their slaughter houses near, or in the city,
hence there are several in the western
part Of IL Now this same Judge lives in
the vicinity Of these houses-near enough at
least to realize SOME slight Inconvenience
from the odor they emit about this season Of
the year. The right and the expedcncy OF
removing them TO other parts, are, at this
time, questions Of some interest, and the
Judge, with others, takes part in discussing
them.
But slaughter houses have their friends
and defenders--it would be strange il they
had not There is money in them, as well
as odor, and who ever saw monied interest
that had not friends? Hogs must be
killed-people will raise them--will anthem
they must be killed, and il they cannot be
killed IN the city or very near Il, all the
profits Of slaughter houses will be monopo-
lized by other cities where people are less
fastidious So reason the friends Of free
slaughter houses. Not so, Judge Perkins.

is estimated at fifteen millions of dollars Its
products are singulariy various. 1t raises wheat
of the finest quality, and when made into -four II
is not surpassed by any In the United States. 1t
also produces corn, rice, tobacco Of the best de-
scripton, hops, potatoes, butter, maple sugar,
vegetables of every kind, and more horses than
Michigan, Iowa, and Wisconsin put together, or
than most Of the New England States 1t Is also a
sheep grazing country, being the ninth In rank
In this respect In the whole Union The climate
Of the interior is like that of Charleston, without
being rendered unhealthy by the introduction of
epidemics. The finest counties In the State are
Hampstead, Lafayette, Sewer, Pike, Clark, Polk
and Montgomery, all accessible by steamboat
and the new railways Lands are here subject
to entry to actual settlers, at prices varying from
twelve and half cents TO one dollar aud fifty
cents per acre. Manufacturing establishment
have been erected on the Little Missouri rivers
planning mills, saw mills, wool carding machines
and -four mills, which last turn out superior
article Of -four. In Hampstead county there are
numerous churches, excellent male and female
seminaries, and polished state Of society. 1t
will be soon as easy to go by railroad to
Arkansas as to Kansas, and as cheaply.
We perceive that some of the leading men of
the State have called the attention of the public
to these facts and are anxious to have q share of
emigration directed towards Arkansas. From
the accounts they have given-snd they come
from such persons rs the well known and highly
esteemed General Royston-we are inclined to
think that our Northern emigration companies
would do public service by paying some atten-
ton to Arkansas as we'll as Virginia. It's lands
ave newer, fresher, more fertile and cheaper, Its
products more varied and valuable. and its eli
mate more equable and az healthy. II has noun
tain ranges like Virginia, and much larger rivers,
navigable tor q far greater distance What it
wants il IN influx of industrious white emigrants
to infuse into it the Life and spirit which st.
Louis has given to the State of Missouri We
recommend Mr.. Thayer therefore to enlarge his
programme, and secure for himself some Of the
beautiful cotton and wheat Lands Of Arkansas,
for cotton must yet be King.
