gentleman must have strange, very con fused notion of government. Government is simply legal entity. instituted for con venience, that can will as they would will, and act as they would act, when they are not or cannot be present. The circumstan- ces that require that legal fction-govern- ment, are now absent; the people them selves in our persons are present, and of course governmaent is by us wholly super ceded. Where then is the government to which we owe allegiance. As to the go- vernment of the United States, although l too have loved it, and in the last campaign battled hard and long for that party which I considered most likely and capable of saving it, still I am now forced to acknowl- edge that government hopeless failure, and averse to its unblushing despotic sectional ism, for one am willing to throw it off entirely.

Washington County Getting Right.

Below we copy from the Arkansian re- solutions passed at public meeting in Fayetteville. We learn from the paper as we'll as from the resolutions that this strong hold of unionism is about broken up, and that the gallant people of the northwest are true to the South and to southern in- stitutions. Politicians may deceive, but they cannot long keep the people in igno- rance oftheir rights. their wrongs and their true interests.
 Public Meeting.
 On the 9th day of March, 1861. notice being given, a large number of the citizens of Washington county, assembled in mass meeting at the court house in the city of Fayetteville.
 On motion of John Crawford, Judge B. J. H. Gaines was called to the chair, and Lafayette Boone appointed secretary. The chairman in . few brief and pointed remarks explained the object of the meet ing, which was, he said. to take the sense of the people upon the inaugural address Ol f1UfAA Ai0COlus 44c oAoO ouuCN Suos AC had ever been Union man; that he sup ported the Union ticket on the 18th of last Feb, but that he now was bound to secede, and cast his lot with the southern seeded States, as all hopes of an honorable adjust. ment had forever flown.
 On motion of Dr. Charles w. Dean, the Presidents message was taken up and read by M. c. Duke. a~B h.
 On motion of B. F. Boone, committee of five was appointed to draft resolutions, expressive of the sense of the meeting, which was composed of the following gen tlemen, to-wit: 0. w. Deane, J. P.

re Iegr aphic.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The National Intelligencer, whose editor, Mir. Seaton, has been appointed post master of Washing ton, recommends the relinquishment of Forts Sumter and Pickens by the general government.
 SIP. M. Reports are current of the con- templated evacuation of Fort Sumter, but to this hour the President has given no or der therefor.
 Prominent gentlemen say this course will necessarily be pursued.
 In the Senate yesterday, Senator Foster s resolution to expel Senator Wigfall was discussed. Senator Mason said he stood by the side of Wigfall. Senator Hunter sustained Wigfall in advocating State rights.
 The commissioners from the Confederate States did not see the secretary of state to- day, but will probably make formal ap- plication for an interview tomorrow.
 Lieut. Stevens, of New York, has re- signed. He is about to enter the service of the Confederate States. G
 It is proposed to station war vessel outside of Charleston harbor to collect the revenue.
 Commodore Stewart has rendered his re- signation.
 NEW ORLEANS, March 12.-Advices from Texas say the troops formerly stationed at Camp Ringgold arrived at Fort Brown on their way to the coast. The steamer Daniel Webster was outside the Brazos harbor to transport federal troops. The collector for the district of Brazos has re- signed and resumed the discharge of his duties under the authority of the State of Texas.
 NEW NoRK, March 12.-The steamship Empire City is still anchored at quarantine. The Star of the West sailed for Brazos Saturday. The schooner M. F. Hudson sailed for Fort Johnson with cannon and provisions. Another schooner is loading for Fort Jefferson at Governors Island.
 NEW YORK, March 12.-Special dis patches received from Washington say it is rumored messenger has been sent to Major Anderson with orders to withdraw the garrison from Fort Sumter. Intima- tions from the proper quarter warrant the assertion that no order has. yet been issued for the evacuation of Fort Sumter.
 WASHINGTON, March 12.--Hon. Cassius M. Clay has been nominated minister to Spain, and Hon. Thomas Corwin minister to Mexico.
 The New York Tribune's correspondent says Fort Pickens will be reinforced.
 It is probable an extra session of Cong. ress will be called.
 WASHINGTON. March 12.--SENArR.-- Fosters resolution for the expulsion of Senator Wigfall and Clingman's substitute were referred to the judiciary committee.

Public Meeting.

According to notice previously given, a geodly number of the citizens of St. Francis county convened in the town of Cotton Plant, Arkansas, on Friday, the 9th of March, 1861. On motion of Dr. J. A. Baker, H. c. Burgess was called to the chair as president, and A. B. Pickens re- quested to act as secretary.f
 On motion of w. B. Lynch, esq, com mittee of five was appointed by the presi- dent to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, consisting of Dr. J. W:Burgess, J. F. Bell. w. J. Turner, D. H. Johnson and w. B. Dyer. The com mittee retired and returned with the follow ing preamble and resolutions, which were read to the meeting by the chairman, Dr. J. w. Burgess:
 WHEREAS, The inaugural address of the President of the United States of America has proclaimed the policy of subjugation and war; and whereas, as the citizens of St. Francis county, formerly Union men, have lost all hope and confidence in the efficacy of any effort to reconstruct the Union, or to preserve the ancient rights of the South and the present government; and whereas, in their judgment it is the duty of all good citizens to council together and cooperate with each other in the common defence of themselves and their brethren having a community of interest-therefore be 1t
 l. Resolved, That our representatives in the convention now assembled at Little Rock be requested to let our portion of the Union slide without further struggle. ?. That in the opinion of the citizens of this county, the State of Arkansas ought not to submit to the administration of and policy of Lincoln, and that it is the duty of the people of this State to prepare themselves for resistance to coercive po- icy.
 B. That military company be raised in Richland township, and that we recom- mend the organization of such companies throughout the State.
 4. That we appoint committee consist ing of w. B. Lynch. T. D. Chun and T. 0. Sugg, to repair immediately to Little Rock and communicate to our representa- lives the action of this meeting, and in- form the of them great change of sentiment of the citizens since they received the inau- gural address of Lincoln.
 5. That copy of these resolutions be forwarded by our committee to the True Democrat for publication.
 On motion of J. F. Bell, the meeting ad- iourned sine die. tt

For the True Democrat. NOT TO RETURN AGAIN.

pass the desert sands alone, And lonely tread the ocean shore; The signing winds, the silent moan Of ebbing day and rising morn
 From dreamy darkness freed. All tell of pleasures long since passed, And faded hopes now feeting fast
 Not to ie urn again. The crowded festive hall, to me, .T Is like the barren wilderness:
 The merry dance-the mirthful glee- Not like life's scenes now gone forever
 The joys of younger years. An! like the weary winter day, My hopes and pleasures passed away
 Not to return again. When ranging now in wales of flowers, cull no rose, but feel the thorns; The keenest thorn in troubles hours, Is thoughts of happy transpofts passed- ssAs.r Of joys just born to die. &i@S Strange that the hearts elysian bloom Should fall like tendrils to the tomb ', ~e. Not te rsturn again. Z. Like yellow leSves by autumn winds, Torn from the waving forest tree; So early borne upon the wings Of passing time our friends are borne I tB1 From time, and toil and cares To silent shades-to tranquil rest.
