Concert of Action.


1t is highly important that the friends of the
Union in this State should unite and act in concert
The disunionists organizing, and will leave no
means untried to take the State out of the Union
The State is opposed to disunon at this time by
thirty to forty thousand majority, yet in order to
render this majority effective concert of action is
indispensable.
Our opponents are forming what they call a new
party We are glad that they thus showing
their hands. Let meet them half way in this re-
spect. Let US endorse their declaration that they
do constitute new party-the disunion party; and
let US continue to expose them and their designs to
the people.
But whatever organization may be set on foot by
the Union men, let those engaged in it constantly
bear in mind that this government belongs to the
people, and that all organizations are Objectionable
unless they reflect the peoples will. Let there be
no cliques, no caucuses, no packed conventions 1t
is just easy to hold mass meetings conventions
Let no Union man be excluded from hearing in
these public assemblages If delegates shall in any
be appointed let it be understood that all 9TH
who may choose to attend shall be entitled to q
hearing and shall be considered delegates also but
will be to hold mass meetings. The voting in these
meetings can be by ballot, each County having its
according to federal population, majority of
those present determining what that voice shall be-
We throw out these suggestions with all respect
for the views of Others and from sincere desire to
advance the By concert Of action and proper
effort we can hold the disunionists just where they
are, in hopeless minority; and we carry near
ly all the members of Congress at the approaching
election.
We would respectfully suggest to our Union
friends in this District the proprety of meet
ing in this City some time in April or May to NOM
mate candidate for Congress. The Union men
can carry this District by large majority. Let
them to it that the District is fairly and properly
represented. We are tired of this "holding with
the hare and running with the hounds" In crs-
sis like this the position of every public man should
Do unmistaka6ly knopn He that is not for US is
against us. 1t will not do for public man to say
he is for the Union while he makes no effort to pre-
vent disunon, but the contrary aliates with the
disunionsts. The people want works. not words.
The people of this District entitled to be repre-
scented in Congress by decided Union man, and we
trust they will take the necessary steps to select
such man. We will cheerfully support any one
who may be agreed upon by the Union men of the
District

From Arkansas.

LITTLE Rock, March 21st-The Secession ordi-
nance has been defeated by four majority.
Arkansas, then, will remain the Union. Her
people have too much sense and too much patriot
ism to join the new Confederacy. The Memphis
AUalanche, rabid disunion paper, gives up Arkan-
sas, and says "craven and cowardly submission has
burnt deep into The brow of majority of the dele
gates and Arkansas will be forced to kiss the hand
that smites her." OF course that is all nonsense
The people of Arkansas are as brave as those Of
South Carolina. They would submit to wrong no
sooner than would the people of the Confederate
States; but they are not afraid of Lincoln, and they
are not to be rushed out of the Union before break
fast" All hail Arkansas Many of her citizens
are natives of North Carolina and Virginia, and this
fact accounts for the pluck and the hard they
are now exhibiting.
Great excitement prevailed at Little Rock follow
ing the rejection of the secession ordinance A COM
promise was effected by the convention to submit
the question of cooperation secession to the peo-
pie of Arkansas on the first Monday in August.

~ Several gentlemen of Oxford whose names
it is not necessary to give have sent US Card for
publication, in which they contradict in bitter terms
the statements of our correspondent Granville" in
relation to serenade in that town. They declare
that our correspondent has done them gross injus-
tice in coupling them with any thing like "mutiny,
treason, and the leadership of the cuffee band."-
We decline to publish the Card on account of its
IRENE bitterness. We feel sure that our correspon-
dent was not actuated by malicious feeling, but
wrote what he did as good-humored hit at the SER
enaders referred to. The publication of the Card is
not necessary to the defence of these gentlemen
pecially as none of them were individually mention
