An ARKANSAS CONGRESSMAN FoR THE UNION.
Albert Rust of Arkansas, has addressed a
letter to members of the General Assembly
of that State, which will be read with graf
ification by the lovers of the Union every
where. He says:
| believe, first, that from the adoption of
the Federal Constitution to the present mo-
ment, the Southern people have never had
less caIse to complain of our Government
and threa ten its overthrow than they now
have. Ifthe most experienced and enlight-
ened statesmen of other countries could wit
ness the universal prosperity enjoyed by the
people of our own, and at the same time the
fear, if not the conviction, which is almost as
universal, that the Government to which we
owe SO much of it is on the brink of disrup-
ton, they would be driven to the conclusion
that a general lunacy had seized upon the
minds of the American people. recognize

than one-third of the votes of the United
States, aided 10y the intrigues of the South
ern disunionists, as no Justlhcation for
thought of revolution Elected under the
forms of the Constitution, those who would
resist or defeat 10y force his Inauguration,
would commit the highest crime known to
our luWS'
No one who has read the debates upon the
Constitution, and the cotemporary political
history of our country, will maintain, pre-
sumo, the constitutional right of a State to
seeede from the Union. Such n pretension
is, in my opinion, an insult to the memories
of the wise and patriotic sages who framed
the Constitution. Our first remedy under a
Federal aggression, as in the case OF the Mis-
souri, Compromise, which was pronounced
by the Supreme Court of the United States
as a nullity, is an appeal to this Court. This
failing us, our only resort is revolution To
do this, whenever an aggression is attempted
by the Federal Government, l am ready to
commit myself.
Whatever moral influence l may be able
to exert will be in favor of the Inauguration
of the elected President and the enforcement
of the constitutional laws of the United
States after his Inauguration.

For one COW, however, six bits extra was

Perhaps we should not feel so much in

called to the fact, but no notice was taken of
1t, some of these cattle, we believe, belonged
TO Alderman Davis. We DO not pretend that
it was necessary such cattle should be taken
up, for they could do no harm, nor could our
cows do harm. except perhaps annoy the
aforesaid stable keepers.
We think the law should be so altered that
cows could not be taken up, except when ac-
tully found in mischief, and that their fire.
quenting stables should not be considered

to note in book kept for that purpose in
the Police Office the time when, and place
where estrays are taken up, and their marks
and general description, and also to report
to the Council the number of cattle impound
ed, and the amount of fines collected at the
end of every month. This mry be the law
now, if so it is entirely neglected.
We live outside of the estray limits, and
are obliged to fence against cattle belonging
to persons living in the city proper, which
are pastured on the plains.

To Dr. HERRIck, Albany, n. Y.-Dear sir:
cannot refrain from informing you of the wonder
full effects of your SUGAR COATED PILLS on
boy living with me. While hard at work drawing
cord wood, he fell to the earth as if in fit, was
insensible and partially cold. We carried him to
the house and sent for doctor, who bled him and
gave him some medicine. He remained all night
in the same situation. The doctor said he would
die, and left him. My wife insisted upon giving
him some of your Pills. We administered four in
five hours, and shortly after two more, rubbing
him with hot brandy and mustard. The Pills
operated powerfully. At four o'clock in the after
noon he opened his eyes and spoke, commenced
getting better, and in three days went to work.
More than fifty of our citizens saw the boy, and
will testify to what have said. You are stranger
to me, but thought l would write.
Yours. ALEXANDER MORTON.
