Littleton Walter Tazewell, the greatest lawyer Virginia ever had, is dead. He was the contemporary and peer of Jefferson, Ran doIph and the republicans of '9S and '99- As lawyer, he was without an equal. In one case of great importance the celebrated William Pinckney was employed by the op- posite party and the arguments lasted for . over week Mr. Pinckney died from the excitement and exhaustion. As debater, Mr. Tazwell never met his equal. At one time he was the foremost advocate of state rights and strict construction of the con- stitution. He started in life with con- siderable fortune and largely increased it. Within the last forty years he kept aloof from politics and devoted his attention to the law. Another great man has gone from among us, full of years and honors.

The Convention.

The convention which convened atArk- adelphia on the second Monday of \his month, adopted with but one dissenhg voice, the following resolution:
 "Resolred, That we the delegates of the secoA Congressional district of the State of Arkansas, now assembled, finding that the friends of Dr.. Charles B. Mitchell and Col. E. w. Can't, whom consider the only aspirants for the Congress of the United States before the same, equally divided, that q nomination of either will cause great dissatisfaction to the friends of the other; and believing that it will be to the interests of the democratic party of said district to make no nomi nation do hereby refer the claims of each of said aspirants to the democracy of the district, to be decided by that party at the ballot box on the first Monday of August next.'
 From this 1t will be seen that both Dr. Mitchell and Col. Can't are candidates before the people of the district for Con- gressional honors, who alone must decide between them. This gives us the right as the conductor of democratic paper, to make a choice, and we cheerfully place the name. of Charles B. Mitchell at the head of our paper as such.
 The convention also adopted resolution heartily approving the action of the late convention at Little Rock, when Richard II. Johnson was nominated for Governor. -Paraclifta Democrat.

 The convention was organized by the election of R. F. James as pesident, and J. w. Rison as secretary.
 The object of the convention was ex- plained by the president to be to nominate a democratic candidate for State Senator from the counties of Conway, Yell ana Perry.
 On a call of the counties composing the district, delegates appeared from Conway and Perry, presented their credentials ana had their names enrolled as members oi the convention.

Upon the subject of slavery in the terri tories, Col. Johnson took ground in favor of Congressional protection to the rights of person and property. He was more hope ful of the Union than ever, because the south had become aroused to firm and decided course in defence of her rights against northern aggressions. He believed that compromises and concessions had in- iured the south and emboldened the fanatics of the north who have built up such large and powerful party. His remarks on na- tional politics were well received and ofter applauded
 Col Johnson turned to the subject of the old bank debts and spoke of them in a manner which proved that he was thorough ly conversant with the subject, and could furnish his competitor with great deal ot information in regard to 1t, that he had no knowledge of whatever. He was emphat- ically opposed to repudiation as well as to taxation. He took grounds - favor of making the mortgaged lands of the bank pay the debt, which their enhanced value would enable them to do if properly man. aged. He avowed his purpose, If elected to carry out to consummation the policy which has been so successfully pursued by Governor Conway to the displeasure of the bankites generally.
 Upon the subject of internal improve ments, Col. Johnson exposed the fallacy of his compe2or in his state aid scheme He was himself in favor of State aid to rail- roads, when the State shall have redeemed her credit by paying the debt now standing against her. If he should be elected Go vernon he would recommend the approprla- tion of the five per cent fund, amounting to S10O, 900, which Gov. Conway Tn special message recommended the last leg islature to appropriate to the Memphis and Little Rock railroad. He was friend to that road as well as lO all ouuolo III 'pN State and hoped to see them all built.
 Col. Johnson, in conclusion, alluded to the facts that he is native of Arkansas, and that his whole life has been spent within the limits of the State. In an elo- quent manner he expressed the most patrl- otic devotion to the interests of Arkansas, and satisfied every candid mind that If elected he would exert all the influences of his position to the rapid advancement and promotion of those interests. He concluded amid great applause and cries of go on!" "go on!''
 Judge Rector's rejoinder was brief, being merely an effort to extricate himself from the position he took in his opening speech, on the subject of the bank debt in connec- ton with State aid, and to prove that he did not differ with his competitor Tn regard to the mode of liquidating the old bank debts The Judge had evidently gained some items from the speech of his compe- titOr.

THE BANK POLICY OF Gov. CoNwAY.-At last the Old Line Democrat has ventured to touch this subject and contents itself with sneering at the policy heretofore pursued in relation to these institutions. It ltrepeats the old slang of the opposition, and tilngs sneers that have often been refuted It affects to ridicule the action of the Cover
 nor and to laugh it off when, point of fact, it is one of the most serious ever brought to the consideration of the people. As the time of payment draws near the owners of these mortgaged lands grow more des- perate Their presses may sheer and pre- tend to treat it lightly, but these fellows feel 1t in their pocket nerve and wrlthe un- der the fear that the policy of the Cover nor will be consummated Here is the real issue and this is the true question: The Old Line Democrat promises further articles on the subject, and we will be ever with him by promising to. show what has been done and what has to be done. We are aware of the influences at work and know that money is to be spent freely to accomplish certain designs. In the mean time we shall wait patiently for the pro missed articles, and think the Old Line De- mocrat will find it is inviting discussion that we desire and the people are interested

Well, well, how wise NIT. Peek must have grown all of a sudden. Opposition to what? If he means the Old Line Democrat, he is truly correct, but Ii he means to true democracy, he IS truly ms taken.

ny Our neiohbor of the Old Line De-

ng Our neighbor of the Old Line De- mocrat is nervous gentleman. He IS ex- ceedingly sensitive and fancies all sorts of dreadful things. He has an especial hor- TOT of office. holders, except one. Not know nothing in the land can write more glibly or abuse office holders more roundly than this old line editor. To read hls pa7' her YOU are led to believe that all the agents and officials of the government are set of scoundrels who are forever consplrlng and plotting against our liberties. W hat IS singular is that these same men, who have such a holy horror of office holders' are very anxious to get an office. They too' are perfectly willing to become one of that wicked and abused class.
 A clerk from Washington visited his home in this State either to see his family or what is more probable, to detect some supposed frauds upon the pension office Thereupon our neighbor goes into spasms and swears this gentleman came here to meddle in elections. He refers no doubt to Mir. Talbot, who, he says, took no pains to conceal his opinions. MT. Talbot IS de- mocrat and was democrat in Arkansas, while Mir. Peek was advocating Douglas and spuatter sovereignty in llllnols. lie is, moreover a gentleman. For daring to express his opinion and avow his democra- cv he is made the subject of abuse and little more of that "courtly bearing and high bred dignity" is exhibited in this passage from that paper. After saying that Mir. Talbot took certain resolutions to Dover he adds:
 "Tbe conv which was sent or rather carried, by this Mr. Clerk to the Dover convention. was treat ed bv that body as the people of Arkansas should have treated the said Mr. Clerk, that is, It aods not allo,ced to pollute that body by being receoed!'
 Perhaps Mir. Peek was not aware that this "Mr. Clerk" is or was citizen of Ar kansas and his peer in all respects. That he is a democrat true, and if those who will not fall down and worship his idols are not to be permitted to enter the State, we ap- prehend that a coast guard system will have to be established.
 It has arrived at that pitch that when a gentleman dares to utter sentiments con trary to those entertained by these adven- turers, they are singled out for abuse If they had their way it would be high treas on to dare to oppose them.

ELEGANT ExTRAcTs.-T editor of the Old Line Democrat amuses himself and his readers this week by copying all the hard things said by this paper of Col Hind man. We respectfully venture to suggest that, as he is good at collating, he now col
 lect the hard things Hindman said of the True Democrat. And while his hand is in he can add his cutting sarcasms upon Burrow whom he used to give "fits;" his attacks upon the Memphis railroad, his as- saults upon Hanly, Boudinot, Wilson, Greenwood, Butler, Johnson, Tebbetts, Conway and host of others. To add piquancy to it the editor may add that these men were ali once his friends.

HELENA AND LITTLE RocK TELEGRAPH LISE.--Our sister city, Helena, is getting to be rather a fast town-she seems to be throwing off her old notions in regard to improvements. For year or two. she has been gaining in population, increasing her city limits, erecting many new buildings, and has now proposition before her voters for sanctioning an get of her common coun- cil to grant bonus of $l0, 900 to any par ty who will erect a new hotel, to cost not less than S40,000. Last season her mer- chants organized a company and built a new wharf boat at cost of S10,000. On Saturday last, MT. Snow visited that city, at the request of several of her leading citi- zens, for stock for branch line from the Little Rock telegraph. We learn he was met very heartily and instead of calling on the citizens to take the stock, they called on him to subscribe and in e;ght hours, enough was taken to erect the line to Madi- son. some 50 miles. We expect to hear next, that they will send for Mr. Slaughter to furnish them with gas works. We al- ways rejoice in the prosperity of our neigh bors and heartily congratulate them m soon being able to talk with Little Rock and Memphis.
