Under the above caption our neighbor, the Old Line Democrat, proceeds to advise the legislature what it's duty is, and to lay down the course which t shall larsue.- Starting out on- the assumption that the legislature has not the wisdom to act for itself, especially in personal matters where every man is supposed to know his own feel ings. that sheet informs us that the lQgisa-s ture is expected to deearitate every man who is se>pected of having voted contrary to its wishes in the State elections. We had thought, in our artless simplicity thatthe legislature of Arkansas would find other and more important duties than that of perpetua- ting personal feuas Ofwhat benefit is it to the people of Arkansas to keep up forever the war of the roses" which has produced so much bitterness of feeling in the State between neighbors and friends? And by what logical construction can. 1t be made the duty of dignifed assembly, such as the legislature of Arkansas, to pander to the personal prejudices of the Old Line Democrat and its friends? Cloak your feelings as you may, pretend to as much patriotism as you please, still it is evil dent to every sensible man that the ob- ject of the reigning Boar6ons is to keep upa personal war for their personal benefit. as they have not the merit to live on after p

Some of the best talent in the present legislature belongs to the opposition ranks. It would be quite as just and wise to prescribe honest men who conscentiously supported John Bell, or Stephen A. Douglas, as to denounee those who, in spirit of temerity, went con | trary to the inclinations of our captious neighbor in the State elections. But while | he affects great confidence, and pretends to prophetic ability, it is evident from the fol- l Inr fhot ho ,c ca, II fr.a 1e bo, but feeble grasp on the sceptre of popu- lar power:
