Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-01-18
The Spirit of the Arkansas Press.

We find in the South Arkansas Demo- crat of Dec. 3rd the valedictory of the Messrs. Jett, and the salutatory of J. H. Black, who assumes editorial control of that paper. We welcome Mir. Black into the fraternity and trust he will meet with abundant success. A correspondent of that paper suggests the name of Dr. B. P. Jett, as a candidate for Congress.
 The leader of the Camden Eagle is 8 strong article in favor of the Union. The sentiment, or feeling, or orprinciple, oflove for the Union is much stronger one than some of our contemporaries seem to think and secession or disunion is the last. re- sort. The Eagle says. "All the isms of earth and all the connections of hot braned and demented intriguers, can never shake that proud and national American spirit which pervades the land from Maine to California.
 They hape shaken it and we pray that they may not destroy it. If limit could be set to fanaticism, or if the religious ele- ment in abolitionism could be abated, there would be some hope. The editor of the Eagle writes confidently and buoyantly We wish we could share his hopes and belief. A correspondentof the Eagle from Calhoun county mentions the names of the different aspirants for Congressional honors in that district, and pays deserved compli- ments to several gentlemen. In connec- ton with the office of Governor, "A Dem ocrat," as the correspondent signs hlmself' has this to say of R. H. Johnson! 7

Consistency, Thou art a Jewel.

"So far from denying the right of secession, or the right of revolution, the True Democrat has ever contended that the time may come when this may be neccssary.''-Irue Democrat, Jan 4, lS6O.
 "We maintain that the State Rights school of politics advocated the right of secession, er countenanced doctrine so destructire of the Hber- tics Of our country"
 s.We ask the patriotic democrats of Arkansas are they willing to support and encourage paper that advocates the doctrine of secession l"-Leter in the True Democrat, October 5th, 1859.
 The above quotations from the True Democrat we find in the last issue of the Old Line Democrat. They are paraded out for the purpose of proving our incon- sistency. Let every body read them, and observe the credits at the bottom of the paragraphs. It will be seen that the frs paragraph is from one of our editorials, and the two last are from the letter of an an. nonymous correspondent, whose views we never indorsed. H A Mir. Peek, in his anxiety to prove some thing upon us, admits his inability by the above quotations. After diligent search of our files he is driven to quote from some body else's acritings to prove us inconsistent Fie upon you, Mr. Peek-try again. After an editorial career of over eight years, it is high compliment to us if you cannot show from our oacn acritings that we have been inconsistent in some small matter try it again, but quote from what we our. self have written
Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-01-18
Railroad Convention.

The convention of the friends of the en- terprise to consolidate the Memphis and Little Rock and Little Rock and Fort Smith roads, under the name of the Pacific railroad, was held in this city on the 10th inst Nothing conclusive was arrived at, though 1t is understood that propositions forma consolidation were entertained by both parties and basis laid down upon which it can be effected. Alright, a meet ing was held at the State House, presided over by Ex-Gov. John s. Roane. The Governor in a happy manner avowed him. self railroad man and in favor of lending State aid to such enterprises. Hon. Jesse Turner then presented the resources and ad vantages of the westerns road, coincided with the chairman in regard to State aid, and urged the necessity of the press keep ing the subject of internal improvement be- fore the people,. Mir. Robinson, then gave an account of the resources and prospects of the Memphis road, of the difficulties met and to be met, and said that the building ofthe road was now only question of time, ifthe people of Arkansas would take any in- terest in it. A resolution, offered by Mr. Wassell, was passed, urging upon the dele gation in Congress the importance of ex- tending the time allowed for building these roads in the provisions of the grant ol lands by Congress.
Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-01-18
President Buchanan further says:

"If this failure should teach the country the necessity of electing full Congress in sfficient time to oenable the Presidentto con- vene them in any emergency, even immedi- ately after the old Congress has expired, it will have been productive of great good.- In time of sudden and alarming danger, foreign or domestic, which all nations must expect to encounter in their progress, the very salvation of on institutions may be staked upon the as> embling of Congress without delay. If, under such circumstan- ces. the President should find himself in the condition in which he was placed at the close of the last Congress with nearly half the States of the Union destitute of repre- sentatives, the consequences might be dis astrous."
 It will thus be seen that Mr. Buchanan s views are the same with those that infu- enced Gov. Conway when he vetoed the Hindman bill to change the time of elect ing representatives to Congress. Mir. Bu- chanan and Gov. Conway think only of the best interests ofthe country, while MT. Hindman thinks only of his own interests. Had the Hindman bill become law, our Congressmen would have been elected the August otier the 4th March when the old Congress expired, instead of the August before as now, and consequently under the Hindman bill we would have been "virtu- dl(y disfronchised" in Conpress for five or six months of every two years. Under our present law we elect new members before the expiration of the terms of the old ones, and hence our State is never without it's full representation. Let whatever emer- gency arise, whenever the President con venes Congress in extra session, we have always, under our present election laws, a full delegation in Congress to appear in their seats.
 When MT. Hindman wanted his bill to change the election laws passed by the last Legislature, he thought only of himself, not of the State. He wanted the election to take place at a time when he could be here to attend to and control 1t. He cared nothing about the fact of our State being unrepresented for five or six months in every two years, so he could be the repre- sentative. Away with all such selfish poli- tics as those of the Hindman party.

President Buchanan on the election of
 C0ngressmen.

Our readers are aware that an attempt was made to create prejudice against Gov Conway for his veto of Hindman's bill, to change the time of the congressional elec- tions in this State. The veto message itself, and the masterly exposition of the subject by Mr. Carroll in his admirable letter, which we published few weeks ago, are sufficient to show the evils which would have resulted had the bill become a law. But in addition, we have the views of Presi- dent Buchanan upon the same subject
 The last Congress omitted to pass the Post.office appropriation bill, which caused so much confusion and Arrangement in our mails. Had all the States, like Arkansas, elected their members to Congress previous to the 4th March last, when the terms of the old members expired, Mir. Buchanan could have recalled Congress and had the Post-office appropriation bill passed Speaking in his message of the omission to pass the Post-office appropriation bill, the President says:
 Had this omission of duty occurred at the first session of the last Congress, the remedy would have been plain. 1 might then have instantly recalled them to com plete their work-and this without expense to the government But on the 4th oi March last, there were fifteen of the thirty three States which had not elected any rep resentative to the present Congress. Had Congress been called together immediately, these States would have been virtually dis franchised. If an intermediate period had been selected, several of the States would have been compelled to hold extra sessions of their Legislatures, at great inconvenience and expense, to provide for elections at an earlier day than that previously fixed by 1 law. In the regular course ten of these States would not elect until after the begin. ming of August, and five of these ten not until October and November
 As Arkansas, under existing laws, had elected her representatives in the Auoust previous to the fourth of March wben tba terms of old members expired, she ,vould not have been one of the States disfran. chised. sa

RIVER, ETc.-During the week past we have had sunshine and sleet, rain and snow. One day 1t was so warm as to make us think spring was here, and the next morn ing the ground was covered with sheet of ice. The changes have been very sudden and the result is great deal of sickness.
 The river is quite full. Twelve or if teen feet water in the channel, but not ris- ing now or very slowly. The roads are said to be impossible on many routes and, for several days, the creeks and streams were so high as to prevent travel.

Little Rock Gas-Works.

Mir. Slaughter, the contractor for the gasworks has returned to this city. With him came Mir. w. A. Sawyer, engineer, and the twain are now prepared to push forward the work and complete the neces- sary buildings, etc, at once. The plans and elevations of the buildings are as neat specimens of drawing as we have ever seen They are to be seen at Mir. Reardon's book store.
 As an evidence of the energy and go aheaditiveness of the contractor, we vii state that the contract for the brick and wood work has been taken by Messrs Robins and Fisher, and, on yesterday morning, excavations for the cellar and foundations of the building were con- menced.
 The machinery is now on the way, and will shortly be here. There will also be a large lot of chandeliers, pipes, etc., for the use of rooms, halls and stores MT. Slaugh. ter tells us that he will have able and ex. perienced workmen, and by the first day O July our citizens may expect to see the city lighted with gas.
