Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-12-08

give as full report of the loeeedfnss of our legislature as possible something in which the entire State feels s an interest-we have been unable to give a complete exposition of the spirit of the X South, and the tendency of the political K troubles which are now agitating the coun- try. It is useless to disguise the fact that we are on the brink of revolution. The impression prevails ill this State that the danger is not imminent, but we have no doubt but that ere two weeks roll around South Carolina and one or two other States will have voted themselves out of the Un- ion. In aIgeneral consultation of the south- ern States, in convention assembled, they may be induced to reconsider this determi- nation and accept new guarantees in the Union, but we speak of what will first hap kpen-not of consequences. Is The excitement is not confined to South lCarolina--it is pervading the entire South, from Texas to Virginia. Even in the con- scrvative city of Memphis public meeting was held, at which speeches were made by the Hon. Solon Borland, R. G. Payne, sesq., T. Il. Logwood, R. F. Looney, w. K. Poston, and others. The following la Sconic and expressive resolutions were adopt led:
 l. ResOlred, That the irrepresible conaict', is Alpon us.
 t ?. Resoloed, That we accept that conflict. N 3. heS0toed, That the executive of Tennessee coneene the legislature for the purpose of calling convention, tn determine what shall be the action of the State.
 4. Reeoiped That the e>ascntion of Tennessee request convention of the ffteea southern States to determine what shall be the action of the South
 D. Resolred, That the State of Tennessee will stand by the action of the southern convention bring it veal or woe.
 Arkansas has as yet given no indication sufficiently general from which we may fully estimate the wishes and the spirit of her people. Two counties only have held meetings and passed resolutions expressing their sentiments, Chcot, which we publish ed last week, and Phillips, which among other things, resolved;
 "That the legislature of Arkansas, now in ses- sion, ought to take some pcompt action toward bringing about the proposed southern convention, and should, forthwith pass the legislation necessa r to have Arkansas faithfully represented therein"
 The Helena ShieLd, an able and conserva- tive sheet, commenting on this resolution very justly remarks;
 This We regard as very proper movement.- It is important, we conceive, that if a southern convention is to be held, that not only Arkansas, but ALL the southern States, should be represented in such convention. We say al, because all have a common lot-one common destiny in any move. ment that may be made-snd it is a matter of the utmost vitality-afthe very deepest and most pro- found importance-that the delegation may be co" sed of the very best material the country af- ferds."
 The press generally over the State are in favor ofcalling convention for the purpose of consulting with other southern States. A friend just from Hampstead county, says the blue cockade is worn in that portion of the State There is beyond doubt, very strong union sentiment throughout the
