Letter from Hon. w. w. Watkins.

Messrs. EDITORS TRUE DEMOCRAT
 This is my position succiuctly stated in the dis. cussion upon the convention bill: was in favor of a State convention at as early date as practi- cable, after giving time sufficient for the people to be fully informed t) the importance of the crisis and as to whether the necessity really existed for convention or not, I opposel the convention in any shape, unless the question of convention or no convention" should be put to the people, and majority Of the voters in the State should vote for the convention, before the same should be held--
 maintain that under thedeclaration of rights. 2nd section of the constitution of the State of Arkan- sas "that all power is inherent in the people," and that this, the most important of all other sub. iects. in justice to them should be submitted to the people.
 And further: that no ordinace of the conven- ton dissovng the connection of the State of Ar kansas with the federal government, should have any force or validity until it shall have been submitted to, and ratified by mority of the quail fled voters of the Sate," to whom it should be sub mitted for their approval or rejection.
 was unwilling to dissolve the connection of the State of Arkansas with the southern border States in her present defenseless condition, and situated as she is, exposed to the Indians upon the entire west, and the followers of John Brown from the territories of the northwest and for the express purpose of forming connection with South Caro- lima.
 I was in favor ofh h.ving southern convention. but not for the express purpose of forming a sepa rate conieleracy, but to meet the othet southern sister States in the Union, and laying down an uI- tnnatn to the North, and then demand redress fer the many grievances inflicted by the dom nant party in the North and after having exhausted all honorable means in the proper spirit within the Union, then l was for Arkansas taking such stems as to maintain her honor in aeio eoniederacy anl that l was now willing for her to take action and counsel with such conservative States as Mis-. souri, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina. Virginia and Maryland, and with them was will. ing to link m! fortune for veal or woe W. W. WATKINS. EiaIs Rask, Ark, Jsa. IS, 1881.
