than ever on OF which generated into perfect fever
heat when il announced that Brecknrdge and Clay
would speak IN Owingsvne.
eThe speaking commenced By the Yce-President, who
spoke for some naan hour without creating much en-
thusiasm he said be had been to the mountains and
addressed the people. AT this Douglas man asked him
whether he answered the Norfolk questions TO which be
made no reply. lie then in vindieaiion OF his
position on the slavery question, and OF the platform on
rhich he stands. He closed amid the applause OF his
friends
HE was followed bv J. b. Clay, who started out by
pitching into Bel and Everett for being unsound on the
slavery question. Everett he called az ot dRd0Ht Abo-
Io,isfl This was more than the Bell could stand

1@- On the 23rd ult., Gov. PErrus, of Mississippi ''sent in" message to the Legislature of that State, transmitting the resolutions unanimously passed by the Legislature of South Carolina, in regard to Federal affairs He recommends that Mississippi respond favorably to the invi- ,a,ion to the Southern States to meet in general convention, and suggests that such measures be taken as will be neces. sary 10 secure her representation in that convention. He also recommends that the revenue Laws of Mississippi be so arranged as to make her commerce less profitable to those who make war upon her rights, by discriminating against the productions of Northern States. These recommendations will doubtless be con- cured in. Wfw

IT The convention to nominate can- didate for Congress, from the lst District of this State. meets al Dover on the 2nd Monday in May. We see the names of Col. T. c. HINDMAN, Col. A. M. WIL. SON, of Washington, and Hon. W. K. PATTERSON, mentioned in connection with the position. Either of these gentlemen will, doubtless, receive the cordial sup port of the Democracy. The indications, however, are very favorable for the re- nomination of Col. HINDMAN, and we confess that we see no reason why he should not be complimented with a re- nomination. His patriotic devotion to the best interest of the Democratic party, and of his country require it.

s~ The completion of the Mississippi Central Railroad, was celebrated in grand and imposing style at Wcnona, Miss, on Tuesday the 3lst ult The comple- ton of this road makes continuous line of Railroads, from New Orleans to the northern lakes. By. means of it, Mem phis is brought within 449 miles of New Orleans. IL will doubtless exercise ma- ,erial influence in diverling- the tide of Southern travel from the river. It is one of the most important Railroad lines in the South.

THE SPEAKRRsuir.-By reference to our news and telegraph column i. will be seen ,ha, the pro,racted struggle for the speakership was terminated on the 2nd instant, by the election of MT. PENNINGTON of New Jersy. This is another triumph for sec,ionalism. MT. PENNINGTON is one of the blackest of the Black Republicans. He was member of Congress during the memorable session of 1856, and par ticipated in all the revolutionary proceed ings that characterized that session. He voted for the admission of Kansas und ei the rebel Topeka Constitution, refused to vote the usual supplies for the army be. cause that branch of the public service had been used for the maintenance of law and order in that territory, and in a word was up to the intense seclionalism of that period. His election, We hope, will materially aid in producing unity at the South.

For the Des Arc Citizen.J
 HON. B.C. TOTTEN.

MR. EDITOR: the time is fast ap- preaching, when the Democracy of Ar. kansas, will be called upon to nominate a candidate 10 preside as Chief Magistrate of the State, and though there are many spoken of in that connection, any one of whom would doubtless make good Gov. ernor; nevertheless, there are none of them, in my opinion, as we'll qualified to discharge the duties of that office, as the Hon. B. c. TorrEN, of Prairie. A man in every way eminently qualified for seat in the Gubernatorial Chair, a. man that knows the wants and necessities of the people. and has the will and ability to carry those wants into execution. As a statesman he has no superior in the State.
 Judge TorrEs has been a citizen of Arkansas for many years, and has served a good portion of that time in the Legis- lature of the State, has always served his party faithfully whenever called upon. and no man is better versed in the political affairs of the State, than he is, and there is no one upon whom the Democracy would more willingly concentrate.
 The Democratic party of the State is now in such condition, that it requires man upon whom the whole party en masse would vote, man of sterling in- etegri,y. and unquestioned ability, Dem ocrat ..tried and true." Judge TorTEx in my opinion is the man, and should he be called upon to preside as Chief Magis- trate of the State, he will discharge the duties of that office with honor to the State, and credit to himself. Although not an aspirant to that or any other office, if nominated will accept. He is one of those men that are always willing to sub- serve the wishes of the Democratic party, and if selected by that party--the party to which he has ever belonged, and for which he has ever fought, bravely. manfully and with zeal and ability, and (which he has stood by in other days, and in other conflicts, will know but one voice in the matter, and that is the voice of obedience
 Yours truly, A DEMOCRAT.

s The Democracy of Hampstead county, atlheir recent convention, nomina- ted R. H. Jomxsoa, of the True Democrat for Governor and Dr. c. B. MITCHELL. of that county for Congress. The Demo- cratic convention of Ashley, instructed their delegate to the Congressional Convention, to vote for Col. E. w. CAN'T, of Wash ington. From present indications. the contest will doubtless lie between Mir. CHILL and GASTr.
 We learn from the Oid-Llne Demcorai that The convention which instructed fol R. H. Johnson for Governor, was repudia. ted by portion of the Democracy ol Hempstead, with Mr. CAN'T at ,heil head, who protested against llle unfairnes of the same. and subsequently, called fo another Convention.

ARMS FOR MIssIssIpPI.-The Eicks- burg Whig is reliably informed that Gov. Pet,us is now in correspondence with re- liable factories throughout the country, with view to the purchase of the new arms for the State Arsenal, ordered by the Legislature. It says: 5lsms
 q The Governor has selected as the prin. cipal State arm the Mississippi rife with the sword bayonet, and the larger portion of the supply will be of that weapon. A few percussion muske,s, however, will be ordered, as we'll as some of the late i'm. provements in arms. We also learn that the Governor intends calling on the Gen eral Government for Mississippi's portion of artillery field pieces and equipments.
 We suggest that this gallant Stale should emblazon her esculcheon with a Mississippi rife, weapon that has been rendered so famous, as being the one that turned the tide of battle in our favor, at Buena Vista.
 Armed with these destructive guns, the Mississippi regiment moved down the squadrons of Ampudia, that were sweep ing the field before them.

AN INTERSTATE PASSPORT SYSTEM PROPOSED. The Washington correspon- dent of the New Orleans Picay,tne says: "The time has come when no Northern man. whatever be his business, can safely travel in the Southern States. unless he has means of showing that his objects are not unfriendly. Many who have business in the South come here to obtain creden-
 tials. A proper passport system must be devised and adopted, in order to secure the South from Abolition intruders and spies.
 It is also proposed, in conversation among members, that Congress should provide means for the prompt suppression and punishment of organizations formed against the peace of any of the States" :"
