 The Arkansaw Traveller whose editor is now clerk Of the Honse of Representatives, has humorous article entitled, "could not heln it.n We select portion:
 Now, does the reader ask-what has this to do with publishing newspaper? We an- swer much and in many ways. For instance: We promised to edit our paper with all the ability we possess, and this week, and for sever. al weeks back, we have been deficient in edito- rals, and for which, we throw ourself back on the common and vulgar excuse couldn't help It. But why couldn't you help it? Anal that's the rub: and the truth must be told - We couldn't helpit, simply because we didn't try We might lay the blame on the naails- but that won't work, for We could have written articles from our own private stock of informa hon, and this all who know the .Traveler, man, know fail well. Wemight lay the blame at the door ot some mules, who seduced us into hunting and fishing expeditions-but this won't uo, Tor all Know that we could have kept out of these If we would. Well, who shall we blame! Not ourself certainly, for this would oe unnatural and mhuman--yet we must blame some one, or some thing or our readers will blame us and this we don't want them to do- as we are really not only not guilty of any n- tenuonal wrong--but are absolutely bameless in every respect. And yet the truth we will tell, II It causes us the lnfliction of modern CaAile- ism. We say, then, that the fault lies at the loor oi the JeneenlRe ser--and especially at that oi one in particular of that blessed angelic DOT ton ot mankind, as the following notice will abundantly sustain:
 MARRIED--On the 21st instant, at the resi- dence of D. II. Ross, esq, by flaws II. Cole man, 5. M. ScorT. editor of the Arkansaw Tray. eer to Miss CLARIssA Hoop, all of this couuty.'
 There now-the truth is out who will say we could help it.? We say that we couldn't help t-and what's more, we didn't try to help it, and we are satisfied our renders will excuse us the want of editorials for a few weeks past as we were once wont to give them. And this excuse, we are satisfied will be the more readily render. ed when we tell tenn that, Mrs. 'Traveler' joins with us in importuning their favor. Arkan- 'lails are too kind and generous not to grant our united petitions.
 Mr. and Mrs. Traveller send to all the pat -ons of the 'Arkansaw Traveller the best wishes Tor ther future happiness and prosperity So mote t be-amen."
 The Van Buren Intelligencer states that the streets of that city are daily filled with emi- grants wagons on the way to Texas, Arzona and California. The Intelligencer says: |" Eve ry hilltop about the city and every road con- veyng to it is lit up with camp fires"
 The Ouachita Herald, after quoting con- that appeared in our paper over the signature of thirty years in Arkansas" chuck les hugely at the prospect of difference be- tween us and the author. The Herald and other papers of like kidney, cannot understand how gentlemen may differ on questions of poli- cy yet agree on principles. We are strong enough to publish all that may be said against us, and have no desire to conceal Instead of playing mum, as we are falsely charged, we have pursued and shall pursue plan. frank, straight forward course. Our friends may differ with us on some points, and so differing, if they desire to be heard, in the name of fairness, let us hear them. If they are right, the people will n- dorse them; If we are right, they will indorse us. And we pride ourself on the fact that we have pursued course at once bold and liberal. The Herald, in further notice of us. asks how we account for our support of Lincoln and if we love Lincoln or hate Douglas?
 In the first place we are not in the habit of the opposition. Neither by a word )r thought, directly or indirectly. did we ever
