The Next President.

Several democratic papers in the south have expressed preference for some distinguished democrat to fiji this important station. We take it for granted that the nominee of the Charleston convention will be southern man.. The nomination is due to the south because the rule of alternately taking the President frcm each section has given the nominat! on to Penn sylvana during the present term.
 Among the number of distinguished gentle men who have been mentioned the name of Mr. Hunter of Virginia stands among the fore most. A statesman ill the fullest accepation of the term--a man of massive intellect and unSwerving princi ple-a great man among great men and State rights democrat who never wavered, the nomination of MT. Hunter would be hailed with joy by every democrat in the land. lie has never stopped to barter for po- siton; has never forme coalitions for the sake of popularity, or turned to the right or to the left to gain applause. Ever consistent, always true to himself and to his country, his course has commanded universal respect To his splendid intellect are joined the qualities of de- eision and irmness and these point to him as the man most needed in the approaching cri- sis.
 There are others spoken of who would fill the position creditably. The gallant Kentuck- ian who refused a nomination to higher office because he was presidential elector and pre- ferred 10 do yeoman's duty in the fight, than to become one of the staff he too has the abili- ty and irmness for the station.
 We have expressed our choice and beli eve that it is the choice not only of the democracy of Arkansas but of the whole south.

The Fifty-seventh President of Mexico.


 The Fifty-seventh President of Mexico.
 The ov verthrow of one government and eleva- tion of another is an event of so common oct currence in Mexico, that it excites but passing notice But the overthrow of the Zuloaga go- vernment by General Robles is movement oi very different kind. He leaves Washington City where he had been minister, returns to Mexico and makes triumphal entry into the capitol This step of Robes confirms the im- preston that an agreement had been made be- tween our government and the constitutionasts of Mexico to re organize that republic. The remote States over which the authorities in the city of Mexico have never had control will now be controlled by Robles with the aid of the United States In consideration of that aid no dsubt but that important sessions will be made and our laws and authority extended over those feeble Staees who have not the ability to defend themselves, even from the Indians that harrass them.
 Gen. Robles is said to be the man for the station and the time He is firm, prudent and sagacious. He has studied the theory ot our government and will endeavor to reconstruct the governments of Mexico on the same principles. Perhaps this plan is the best that can be devised for that unhappy country. The gradual spread of our laws over the frontier States, the aid we shall be able to afford the central government by controlling their remote States will prepare the way for the ultimate annexation ot some of them to the United States. There Is strong party in Mexico opposed to us, but Ro- ble's triumph is over the o-called church party, and thss once conquered the result can easily be foretold
 The church party confidently rely upon Eu ropean interference, aud one of ther Iape.s thus commens on the message of President Buchanan:
 "To-day, thanks be to God, the mediation of the great powers tends to replace armed force in International -quessoss, unjustly moved: as, for example, happered in the instance ot Rus sia against Turkey. If the latter question gave rise to the Oriental war, that of Nicaragua and that oE Mexico will give rise to d continental American war, in which the boasting Yankees will be chastised as they deserve. Buchanan will now see how his new principle of lnterna- tional right vii! be received; that when one nation is debtor to another, the first step to be taken by the former, is to embargo any territory he pleases, belonging to the latter, even pre- vious to a liquidation and before provingi in due form the nature and amount of the debt. Bro- ther Jonathan can now put paddock on his mouth, or prepare his lons, for if he does not hold his tongue, we proguostcate a bad time to him from the horsewhip of the English, placed in the hands of the French, and the horsewhip of the French brandished by English fists"
 Notwithstanding all this the "greasers" will And that they cannot resist the march of ina nifest deStiny.'' Further news from Mexico will be locke for with interest.

CUBA.

There is nothing new under the sun. When the purchase of Louisiana was first proposed it was met by the objections that the territory was inhabited by wild Indians, imbecile Creoles, bulH-frogs and snakes. It was proved that the French and Spanish were unsuited to our form of government, that they would never, willing ly, become American citizens, that they were monarchsts or imperialists and there was great danger in taking them into tAe free brotherhood. A writer in the National Intelligencer repeats these things with reference to Cuba. He says that the Cubans will make bad citizens, that they have not proper institutions, morals, or political ideas It is time they had all these things aud the speedest way to give them these blessings is to purchase the Island, Dons, Creo.es aud all.

or The he-Poecat who edits the Gazette has his back up and last week attempted to create an awful stench. He ptetends to be very indignant at the charge that certain pre- tended democrats were acting in concert with him when the fct is that they are seldom apart and it is suspectei that they even sleep toge. ther. In good time we will show it is so kv indisputable facts.
 Towards the close of the article, which was no doubt the joint production of the editor and his allies he tries to be very severe and would be so if it came from any source where there was yet lingering remnant of responsibility. The truth is, the editor tries to be sarcastic and witty, but finding that two could play at that game, has fallen back on his old practice of personal abuse. To show the flsity of his charge that our press is harot ready to re- ceive the embraces of any political libertine, we may remark that it never received Ms en- braces nor those of his kidney.

 Capt Pike, though no partisan, severed ali cOnnection with the American party at the me morable June convention when the abotioEsts took forcible possession.

/TaE ARKANSAS BAprIsT.-The first num- <ber of this paper was issued from the office, in this city, on Friday, the 14th inst. There are a great number of Baptists in our State and if thev give anything like fair encouragement to this paper it will be success. Its editor, Rev. AP. S. G. Watson, is an energetic man and good writer. From his salutatory we learn that be- sides its denomirational character, the Arkan- sas Baptist will give variety of reading matter and the latest news.
 We see the first number contains an inter- estng article on the resources of our State and
 a promise of more from the same correspond ent.
 We are glad to see this enterprise sel on foot and are confident that it will be sustained.- It is one of the many evidences of the growth of our State and of the spread of religious feel ings among the people From the first number we learn that the sum of S25, GOO has been subscribed towards the endowment of Baptist Male College Tn this State One huudred thousand dollars Is the sum proposed to be raised, oI which sum lone-iourth has already been secured by one agent.

 The motion of Senator Sebastian to make Ft Smith the eastern terminus was lost The northern and eastern members were in favor of an extreme northern route. Others approved of the imprao,icablo plan of three routes- Senator Douglas argued in behalf of letting the contractors ,ocate the roate. This would no doubt fix the initial point of the route at St. Louis or some poirt further north. In the mean time if @e do our dnty hcre we may be able to bring the line of overland travel through our State, which will go q great way towards fixing the line of the T ad.

Good News.

"
 /We learn from an authentic source that the Secretary of the Interior upon review of the decisions of the commissioner of the general land office, has decided that the act of March Sd, 1857, confirms all lands selected and re- ported as swamp and overllowed lands. It will be remembered that only those lands were con- firmed that were approved by the surveyor gsn- eral, but under the decision of Secretary Thomp- son, all the lands selected by the first locating agents will be at once confirmed. This will give the State five or six millions of acres more, will restore to market thousands nf tracts that are now suspended, will bring the matters con- nected with the swamp land grant to a happy termination and be of great benefit to our State.
 The whole matter will be properly presented to the General Assembly, when we shall refer to it again.
