 In view of the wide spread dissa'siac- ton from lbe action of the late convention at Little Rock, and in order to fully unite the Democratic party of the Stale in the coming election, we propose that the differ ent counties in the State, hold county con ventions, and send delegates to conven- ton to be holden al Pine Bluff, on the first Monday in June, then and there to make nomination for the office of Go- yernor.
 We request that this proposition be pub lished in all the democratic papers of the State, so that response may be made as soon as practicable.
 ThIs course will quiet all dissensions in our party. and make Us what we should be. harmonious and uniied.

SECRET SOCIETY AMoNe THE CHERo- KEEs.-We learn from good authority, that between 100 and l50 full blood Che- rokee Indians in Flint District, few days ago, held a meeting on high noun tam, where they could see any approach from a distance, 10 initiate number ol Indians into their secret society. The full bloods appear to be banded together for some purpose, and many of the half-breeds are becoming uneasy. This new society IS somewhat on the plan of the Kansas Aid Society, and perhaps came from that country. The haIf-breeds say that John Jones, son of Evan Jones, is at the head of il. There is trouble brewing among these Indians, and there is no telling when. and where the first blow will be stuck. The Abolitonists are at work among the Cherokees. = Fort Smith Times, 26lh ult.

 According to the Washington cores ponden, of the Charleston Courier, Sena- tor Latham declared m speech in the Senate, on Monday last, and his dpclara- lion was confirmed by Senator Gwin, that California, in case of dissolution of the Union, or civil war in the Union, would maintain strict neutrality, and would make the Sierra Nevada her western boundary. He anticipated that wars of a devastating character and long duration would occur between tha Northern and Southern Slales and perhaps wipe out some of them; and also heavy taxation to support armies and navies. &c., from which California would be exempt,

The members of the United Presbyte- rian Church, in Warren county, Illinois, are in great distress, owing 10 the fact that one of their most prominent and seemingly pioas, and hitherto ablest preachers, has renoanced Christianity and declared his disbelief in the Bible. This has been done in letter to the Presbytery, in which he renounces the Chris tian ministry, and deelaies his utter disbelief in all the doctrines he has hitherto taught.

 geay@ The testimony of Lorenzo Dow upon the subject of the Recovery of the Law is as follows:
 ," The world appears to be indebted to the Masons for the purity, and preserya- ton, and restoration of the Book of the Law as means, under God, for the ben eff of mankind in aferages. The Book of the Law (original copy) was burnt- only the transcript copy in existence, and only few individuals knew where that was. Hence, how near the Book of the Law came of being lost out of the world Then darkness would have remained on the subject of creation, with the origin and history of man. But to prevent similar occurrence from happening, syna- gogues were built, and each one was fur nished with copy, translated from the one preserved by the Masons, and re- stored to Ezra, the priest, which must have been the transcript copy written by David, for there is no evidence of there ever having been any olher."

Its completion, and the Empress Catharine,
exulting in lis success, prepared to shower
honors on those who had labOred so zealorsly
in her behalf
1t was lovely Gay, with the blue sky only
as an Italian sky can be, when the Princess
Tarranakotf, escorted by her husband, stopped
into a magnificent barge. Gay, and in the
highest spirits, the princess laughed and chat
ted with her attendants, little dreaming Of the
horrible fate impending over her. 1t had been
arranged that she should be permitted the in
Gulgemce of a marine excursion, and she was
assisted up the si'e of the vessel by her OBJ
sequious husband. The lookers-on saw the
sails spread without any suspicion, and waved
their tirewells, deemng that they should soon
witness the return Of the party. The hapless
princess was doomed never to revisit the
shores of Italy. On board the ship were none
save the creatures Of Orof; and now, having
his wife completely in his power, he revealed
his treachery in all its backness and fiendish
ingenuity. The delicate wrists of the princess
were manacled, and the grand daughter of the
car was taken back to her native land, not, as
she had been led 10 expect with the honors
due to her rank, and the prospect of throne,
but as a wretched prisun,r.

Catharlne triumphed in the success OF her
plan, and amply rewarded those who had too
> successfully carried it out. Europe might ex.
claim against her, but her object was gained,
and the Princess Tarranakoff was in her pow.
er. In her dark prison house, the unhappy
young woman spent it is said, six years, and
her deliverance came in DIRE adtul fashion.
The autumnal equinox was at hand, and Il fu-
rlous gale ragged in St. Petersburg. The an
cry waves OF the Neva laslfed the sides of the
prison in which she was confined. Absorbed
III sorr0wtul recoectons, she scarcely needed
the storm, until she noticed that the floor of
her dungeon was wet; then, the horrible
thought crossed her mind, that The river was
rising. Perceiving that the water gained in
height, she shrckod aloud she strove by ev.
cry means in her power to attract the attention
OF her jallor. But no human aid was at hand.
She raised herself as high as possible by
means OF the articles of furniture in her cell,
but still the waters pursued her. The whole
of the ground floor of the prison was laid un.
der water. When the gale had passed over,
and the impetuOus Neva returned to its ordi-
nary course, her Jailor found only the corpse
of what had been the victim of Count AIexey
Orlof's treachery, and the jealous hatred of
Catharine Alexiewna.

of this mixture appears of rich marrowy
consistency and fine color, and never acquires
a brittle hardness nor tastes salty. Dir. An

with the above composition that had been kept

stand three or four weeks before it is used If

blended with it, and sometimes the coulness of
