shilling" THIS is precision itself compared with
the disjointed warnings of the Winthrops, the
Eyeretts, and the Stcyensons. In comparison
with these eloquent but low spirited gentlemen,
Gov Conway Of Arkansas is charmingly explicit
Tn view of the probable election of Abraham Lin
coin. he has followed the genuine Jeffersonan
precedent and has issued a Proclamation. Not
that he means TO make war in that paper way; for
his manifesto is addressed to the Militia OF Arkan-
sas, and it commands those children of Mars " to
"prepare for trouble and danger" i. e., to lay In
good store of gunpowder and Old Bourbon. His
ExcelIercy of Arkansas, therefore, anticipates a

This proguostc explains what to some people
has been political puzzle-the present visit ofthe
Prince of Wales, Baron Rerfreg, Duke of Roth
cay. Duke of Cornwall. He has come to take

His Excellency, though great is his confidence in
the Arkansas Militia, thinks very justly that the
General Government should interfere. The Arkansas
Militia cannot do everything. 1t is, therefore,"
says Gov. Conway, the duty of our Federal
"Government to hold the British Government
