which was calculated to give satisfaction to our people. But obstinate ly they refuse to do one single thing be- tokening disposition to act otherwise than in way which seems likely to ad- vance the interest of the party. and our only fear is, that now, instead of a peacea- ble separatioI of our State from the rotten and corrupt old Union, the blood-red ban ner of revolution will be unfurled. and a suffering people, betrayed by those whom they most have trusted, will redress their grievances otherwise than by an ordinance of secession. May God avert this calami- ty, but if it does come, as we think it will, what fearful responsibility will rest upon the heads of those who have doggedly re- fused to our people an opportunity to right their wrongs as their brothers of the Con- federate States have done.

Gen Thomson in Self-Defence.

Gen. Thomson complained in the con- yention on yesterday that his party had been misrepresented-that the True Demo- crat charged that time and money were be- ing wasted to no purpose, and then went on to state that he was ready to act at any time. Why then does Gen. Thomson and his friends not act? They have majority, in the convention, and if they vote down every measure that is proposed, of course they are responsible for non action and useless expenditure of time and money by the convention, of which the people of Ar kansas are expecting so much. Gen. Thomson, it is true, has proposed set of resolutions, commencing with huge pre- amble and getting smaller by degrees and beautifully less to the close, but as no one from his side of the house has expounded their inconsistencies, or shown the reasons for voting for such stuf, we suppose he is ashamed of them.
 If Gen. Thomson and his friends have nothing better and more substantial to of fer, we do complain of this waste of public treasure, and, what is even worse, of the insult offered to the people of the State by his side of the convention. If non-ac- ton was intended, or series of unmeaning resolutions to be passed, why did not the Union-savers vote down the convention, and save time, money, and agitation by remaining at home? The people have right to expect something definite, positive and immediate at the hands of the conven- tion They are paying for the silent ex- hibition which Gen. Thomson and his friends are making of themselves. and though the pantomime may be amusing to themselves, it is not so to the taxpayers. We would ask Gen. Thomson, as he has accused us of misrepresentation, what side of the house has voted down every thing that has been offered, and why, hav ing majority, he and his friends do not assume the responsibility and do some thing without delay? Is little power so sweet that the Union members not only de- sire to keep the convention in session as long as possible, but wish also to adjourn over to some future day, when they may meet and re-enact the solemn farce which they are now playing?

hey are now playing?

Vox PoPULI.-New Hampshire has gone largely for the black republicans. They have made clean sweep-electing almost every officer in the State. Those who are eternally hunting up some excuse longer to detain Arkansas in the Union, have been telling us for some time that if the people of the North could be cached all would yet be we'll; that the politicians were designedly conniving at the destruction of the govern ment for purposes of personal ambition or resentment. and if the people could but speak, our rights would be promptly and readily granted us. Well, tie people haye spoken! They have elected Berry Cover nor. Berry's organ, the Independent Dem ocrat, declared, during the canvass there, that "Me gigantic crime of Human slavery in America may, in tie Providence ot right eous God, be ooiting for A BLOOD BAPTISM Mat shall wash l out .torever." By the election of Berry, by an increased majority, the people, (the people, mark you, not the politicians have indorsed sentiments such as these, and yet we are told that those people are conservative and are our brothers!

 I. Seward intends pursuing such poli cys will keep the North united and the Sdh divided. He has secured the unity ofle North-he now intends building up a rtv South. Can he do it? He is too wi man to misjudge the material on win he has to work. The present Union "rty," not the Bell-Everett party" nofurnishes him material for the forma- tio of sympathetic "party." MT. Se,rd has so arranged his programme, tha defence of the Union is defence of blk republicanism. He will by eoncilia- tc acts procure the defence of himself and hDarty from the union party." Once irhe habit of defending black republican is, in few years the Union party will billy throw off the mask and sail under bek republican colors.
 While Mir. Seward conciliates, he wastes ntime in forging chains for the South.- Edoes not intend to place them upon us hself. He will gild them, as he has de, place them upon the Union party, as itas submitted to his authority, and under tname of the "UNION," make his con ferates and allies of the Union party rivet tn upon a divided and distracted people
 These convictions are forced upon us; uillingly and in sorrow we record it. hknow there are many men in the ranks cthe Union party who have no sympathy yh black republicanism, and we would nwillingly injure them. There are many ihe Union party who would die by the rts of the South, if they possessed the diligence to discern the danger ahead. | too true it is, the tree of black repub- lnism has been transplanted to our soil. las taken root, and beneath its poisonous sles, southern interests and southern ho. his languishing and dying.

Parson Kelly.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of listen ing to an eloquent nasal harangue from Parson Kelly, the Hon. delegate from Pike county. The most striking idea in this oratorical effort, was, that |" NIT. Turner had made the speech he intended to make. :" It was very wrong in Mir. Turner, who Is an old man; and should have known better, to take an entire speech out of the parsons s mouth. On that speech MT. Kelly had based his hopes of immortality, and when he heard Mr. Turner delivering it word for word, just as he intended to deliver it, he was doubtless thunder struck, and repeated in an unde1-tone the words of Moore, oft quoted by disappointed schoolgirls:
 70, ever thus from chdhood's hour
 Eve seen my fondest hopes decay,
 never loved tree or flower
 But twas the first to fade away"
 But notwithstanding the unpardonable theft of Mr. Turner, Parson Kelly proceeded to erhort his fellow-laborers" in regular camp-meeting fashion.
 The parson differed with MT. Smoote.- So far from giving South Carolina and the Confederate States any credit for defending the rights of the South, Mir. Kelly claimed it all for Arkansas. Notwithstanding the precipitate action of the seeded States was an insult to us, he was in favor of Arkansas acting as intercessor between them and the black republican States. In this way Arkansas would get all the glory. Everlasting garlands would be hers. Here the pious politician became so enthusiastic that he almost got up a revival with - himself
 Mir. Kelly was glad to see his side of the house stand firm. True it would be very pleasant to have pretty ladies from the gal leries throw down artificial boquets" (pronounced ''boketts'') to them, but nevertheless they would strive for nobler palms (quite compliment to the ladies and would seek their reward in the dim and distant future Two very interesting problems suggested themselves about this time. The first was what Mr. Kelly con- siders an artificial" boquet? and the SC. cond is where did he learn his peculiar pro- nunciation of ''boquet?" In connection with the first we should like to know whether natural or "anifciH boquets, y were thrown to him during his canvass in Pike county, and in connection with the latter, if his pronunciation of " "boquet" IS current in his section of the State?
 After this slight Aggression of the par sons on botany and flowers in connection with the political questions of the day, he proceeded to make statement which little State pride should have induced him to suppress. Mr. Kelly gravely informed us that until recently, not hundred men in Arkansas had ever heard of the personal liberty bills of the abolition States, and if they did they had made no noise about them, or, at least, nothing but Fsllent noise" From Mr. Kelly's remarks we

N- We must apologize for occasional omissions in our reports, for meagerness in detail or errors in punctuation. It is true we have two eyes, one for the paper and one for the gallery, but sometimes when breeze of enthusiasm ruffles the roses clus- tered above the secession side of the house, unconsconsIy both eyes look up at the pa- triotic beauties thrilled with noble zeal for the cause of the South The heroines of the revolution were neither braver nor more self-sacrifcing than the fair women of Ar kansas, who throng the gallery of the con- vention and shower down lovely flowers and approving smiles upon the advocates of secession and southern rights. We can offer no better apology for our sins of omis- sion and commission.
