Hs Advantage to Baltimore Manutactures-
 An E1tensiue Piano Establishment.
 The observant Baltimore correspondent q. W ] of the New Orleans Picayune writes to that inhu- ential southern journal as follows:
 BALTIMORE, April IA, ls60-pM Within a few years past good deal has been said in anticipation of Baltimore securing larger portion of the southern trade than she therefore er joyed. Owing to that similarity of sentiment which should and does exist with reference to our peculiar institutons-our exact identity, in fact it is but natural for to expect closer business re- lationships Our political and general policy are more closely assimilated. Southern men, when they come here, are amongst those of their own fellowship. They have no taunts to encounter, no black republicansm or abolitionism to dispute about, and necessity of wasting time in idle TO- litical controversy. They will, to use a familiar phrase, find in Baltimore hail fellows well met Much, however, as our merchants, our manufac turers and our men of business may expect from their southern neghbors, still they should not be too sanguine in relying alone upon their affinity of sentiments and identity of institutions to do the needed work. All these are unquestionably in our favor, and must be put down to our advantage; but more is wanted.
 case in point leads me to the above predatory remarks. It Is practical iilustration and one by which others can profit. To-day, stepping into the extensive pano manufacturing establishment of Messrs knabe Co.,, embracing Nos. l, 3, 5 and North Eutaw street, and No. $50, Baltimore street, had exhibited clear illustration There ! found an immense factory, with the palpable evi- dences and busy hum of industry in every depart

IVII UIIU CttIHt4tII bdy Arkadelphia Convention.

This body met on Monday the 14th inst. and remained in session two days. The only contestants were Dr. C. B. Mitchell and E. w. Can't There seemed to have been nearly an equal division of the votes, and much confusion prevailed. An anxiety appeared to be prevalent to see them try their powers before the people in hand to hand race, and the convention concluded finally to refer them back to the people, We are not at liberty to say that this was in strict keeping with the rules and expec tations of democratic conventions, but the people themselves can now cast their votes for the man of their choice according to the measures he advocates. Should twenty others contest the seat before the masses, 1t is their right, and doubtless there will be some to measure swords with those two prominent ones.
 A resolution was offered and carried by a majority of about two thousand, heartily approving the action of the democratic State convention--the friends of Mitchell all supporting the measure, while those of Can't attempted to repudiate 1t. Can't and his influence seemed to have been of the disorganizing party, while Mitchell and his friends were in favor of harmonizing and concentrating the party. If defeat should befall the democratic party, and it should be totally disbanded, 1t must be laid at the door of those who have displayed this spirit of Reorganization Such feel ing once before nearly took possession of the democracy of this State, and where are its leaders and its myrmidons? Consigned to political oblivion or to total desertion of all the principles they ever advocated.
 All the disafiected clements of all the isms may combine to overthrow the real democracy of Arkansas and 1t cannot be done. The mature reflection, which de- magogues and disappointed politicians, mere seekers after office and revenge, can- not bias, will teach the honest yeomanry, and the true patriots of the land to guard their cherished rights with zeal and honest jealousy.
 We expect to give our feeble support to those who support the action of the demo. cratic party. Wedo not expect to be turn ed from our principles and their advocacy by the clamors of those who are displeased because they have not been the favorites of certain men who rank higher in the demo- cratic party and in the feelings of the peo pie than they can. There can be no valid reason for casting aside the principles which we have contended for because set of men to whom we are i'll disposed, advocate the same and have superseded us in office, or in the affections of the people. Such feel lngs seem now, however, to animate some to reckless disregard Of principle and the interest of the party to which they profess to belong. We hope at some uot very far distant Jay to see harmony prevail in our ranks, and those who have gone estray re- turn truly penitsnt, or the party be forever

tertain. But we do protest against the injustice which Is done Dr. Mitchell when he is compelled in some counties to bear the onas of rash, il-considered and un- grateful vlndietiveness towards the ".John- sons, which, arising from the desire of novelty Tn some, of their offices in others personal animoslty on the part of disap- pointed offlce-seekers, and combination oi the per dlemists." Hindmanites. ct id onne genus, has temporarily spread far and wide, and deluded many into the belief that It IS permanent and powerful. We say it Is unjust to force pr. Mitchell to make this an issue in the coming canvass because he says, what maj jority of the State has said, that the "Johnsons 2 are worthy of the nigh trust reposed in them and that while they' as mortals, are not perfect but liable to err like other honest men. they have done much for the State, and that he likes them socially and politically. Such pro- scrlptlve tyranny will soon produce it's legitimate truit-a reaction in favor of those who are unjustly abused for the attainment ot selfish purposes. But is it necessary for us to designate in what way it is doing Dr. Mitchell injustice? Apart from the self evident fact that he has all iudisputable right to exercise the privilege of freeman in the selection of public officers, it must be evident that unless that issue is forced N'>7' hr rnnnot, without travelling out u ohe record, '" defend the "Johnsons, l" even should their course 6e unjustly ossailed. It IS Dr. Mtchels duty to make the ac- quantance of the voters, to unfold to them his political views, and to leave the people of the second Congressional district free to judge of his fitness and qualification for the high and responsible post to which he as- plres But as matter of self defence he may be forced beyond this. Such an at- titude Is not desirable, as the people will sustain the public acts of the " Johnsons ," at the bahot- box
 But whatever course the canvass takes, Dr. Mitchell will be found equal to the task of meeting all issues which may be pre- | sented He goes forth in'orsed by the democracy ofhis own county, and wherever he goes he will make friends who will stand by him at the ballot box and place the seal of disapprobation on that truculent partnership and prescriptive tyranny of opinion which fosters a spirit of bitterness in the democratic ranks, and would virtually diStranchise all who do not crook the pregnant hinges of the knee '" to this Baal of popular idolatry

 The Philadelphia Congressional Conven tion.

The democracy of the southern congress sional district of this State, met in conven- tion at Philadelphia on Monday, the 14th instant.
 The first day was consumed in organiz- ing, discussing the rights of conflicting dele gations, and appointing committees. On the second day a resolution was passed, to the effect that the convention make no nomi- nation, nasmuch as none could be made without more or less dissatisfaction to a portion of the party; that the claims of Dr.. Mitchell and Col Can't be referred to the people to decide upon in August next Hence it will be seen that these two aspi- rants for congressional honors have an open field and an opportunity of fair fight. We believe Dr. Mitchell was the stronger before the convention, Gas he is before the people, and fla nomination had been made he would doubtless have been the nominee Col. Can't was cognizant of this when he made to pr. Mitchell the proposition for them not to submit their names to the con- ventlon, but for both to go before the peo- pie without the usual sanction of their party.
 We shall place the name of Charles B.. Mitchell at the head of our columns, believ- ing him to be superior to Col. Can't in every essential making the true man; supe- rior to him in ability, natural and acquired; possessing Tn far more eminent degree the requisites of an able statesman and hay ing greater claims upon the voters of this district, and especially upon the democratic party. We shall from time to time notice and set forth before our readers the points of difference between the two candidates.
 The convention appointed four addition al delegates to the Baltimore convention, to be coequal with those appointed by the State convention; indorsed, by large ma iority, the action of the late State conven- tion, despite the intrigue of disorganizers and Jealous factionists; passed sundry reso- lutions for the future advancement of om State, and adjourned to meet in Pine Bluff in May, 1862. We>shall publish the pro- ceedings entire when we get them.

QaalIficntions of Electors.

For the Information Of such of our read
ers as have not the Constitution at hand,
we copy that clause which defines the
qualifications of electors
ain all elections, not otherwise provided
for by the Constitution, every white male
citizen of the United States, of the age of
twenty-one years and upwards, who shall
have resided in the State during the six
months Immediately preceding such cleo
/ ton and every wEite male, OF foreign
birth, of the age Of twenty-one years and
upwards, who shall have resided in the
United States one year, and shall have re-
sided in this State during the next SIX
months Immediately preceding such cleo
ton, and shall have declared his intention
to become citizen of the United States,
eonformably to the laws of the United
States on the subject of naturalization, shall
be emitted to vote in the township or pre-
cinct where he may reside" .4
The statutes against fraudulent votes of
any kind-voting out of your township or
precinct, double voting, voting more than
one ticket, &c.-are very severe. If a vote
is sworn in falsely, the crime is perjury,
which is likewise severely dealt WITH
There are also rigorous provisions against
furnishing tickets to electors with names on
different from those represented, and for in
ducing an elector to vote for a person diff
ferent from the one he intended to vote for,
and for using threats, menaces, force,
brides, rewards, treats, or any other cor
rupt means to influence votes.
The. Presidential Election is govern
ed in all respects, in this State, by the
law regulating general elections

Court of this State. that minor attains to

thousand when colored, writing, or any
special kind of paper is required.

to direct how they are to be sent. Names
are guaranteed to be all perfectly correct.
This is an important point. In their des-
peration to carry the State, tie Douglas men
and their allies may even undertake to get
up tickets headed Lincoln and HamlIn .
and place on them their own electors, thereby
inducing Republicans to vote the Democrat
ic ticket; for it matters not what names are
on for President and Vice President, so you
vote for the n lit n.-n for electors. The
only safety is to set your tickets from a

New York TrbuDe furnishes the following
additional information 10 regard to the new
Government loan: ." have leaned enough
to-day to satisfy me that the bulk OF the bid
of Mr. Riggs for the Government loan, was
for savings banks in different parts of the
country Those institutions did well in
counseling with one here, who, from con
slant contact with politicians, knew just
about how much of their disunion talk to
place to the account of sense, and how much
to fustian. AS the loan will probably be
called in before the commencement of the
session OF Congress, notice must be given TO
holders of matured notes that interest viii
not longer run upon them. OF course they
will be sent in en- DasSe for redemption
The effect of the negotiation of the loan will
be to relieve the Treasury to the extent of
/ 81 900, 900, which is about the sum that
| has been taken from ACQUIRING revenues, TO
redeem Treasury notes sent in since the
| first of July. of this amount about quar-.
ter ofa million of dollars came in last week
from Philadelphia. The average premium
upon the loan is about one-third Of one per
