From the South Arkansas Democrat. Prescription.


 The celebrated Wilkes case has been far surpassed in audacity at the Dover conven- tion. E. c. Boudinot, esq, delegate from Washington county, by the manly and in- dependent position which he has maintain ed, and more especially by exposing the shameless self-praise of the "Viator'' let ters, has brought down upon his head the direst vengance of the Hindmanites. A resolution was offered excluding him from a seat in the convention, on the ground that he was halfbreed Ladian. The obvious import of the resolution was to offer an in- suit to brave and gallant man, while in reality the insult falls upon his county Islanders of this kind are the nurslings of cowardice. A spirit of bitter, truculent partizanship may excuse many things over which justice would have just cause to weep, but nothing can ever remove from those who suggested, advocated and intro duced this proscriptive resolution into the Dover convention the taint of having made cowardly attack on private character We take from the Fayetteville Arkansian the following extract, illustrative of the ty- rannical spirit which pervaded that conven- tion,' and not only degraded it, but disgrac- ed the convention system. MT. Boudinot is gentleman. He does not deny that he has Indian blood in his veins, but he can point to others who were not precluded from serving their country nobly and gal lantly, because of this accident. How witheringly would John Randolph of Roa- noke have pointed the finger of scorn at those who would have questioned Ais riyhG The Lilliputians who gathered around Hind man, and sought in this way to whitewash his very Hale act of self-adulation in the "Viator" letters, would have felt stinging- ly their utter insignifcance. We give the extract-:read and judge for yourselves:
 "A A delegatofrom Washington county address ed the convention, supporting the minority report, and spoke at length upon the proscrptive resolu ton before referred to; he argued that by every principle of decency and common sense the majori- ty report was egregiously wrong and should not be received; that the meeting in Madison county on the l4th February, was irregular, and notoriousy dsorderly as the published proceedings proved; 1; that the conv ention held on the 9th of April was regular, orderly, democratic and conventional, and should be respected at Dover In referring to he resolutions against the delegate from Washington county, he ridieuled the idea of such scurrillous attack, and such star chamber proceedings affect

 It appears from the above that Judge Fletcher received the next largest vote upon the first ballot, which was, as matter of course, test of the strength of the candi- dates whose names were submitted to that convention His votes were only three Mousand and ninety-eigM. The vote of Mir. Johnson after emitting the counties of Ben ton and Van Buren, foots up nine Mousand three Hundred and ninety, which leaves him plurality majority over the next man to him of sir Mousandtwo hundred and ninety- two. With these facts and figures before us, it is matter most inexplicable why the blood hounds of the opposition party should dog upon the trail ot Col. Johnson, and shriek from every standpoint where they can raise voice, the contemptible
