The Little Rock True Democrat, of the 2Ist inst,
informs that the Convention, after having

ceeded to vote upon it ON Monday, the 18th inst,
that being the thirteenth day of the session. This
ordinance was rejected, yeas 35, NAYS 80, evfy
member voting. If it had been passed it required
feet. -
After the rejection of this ordinance the two
parties IN the Convention compromised their differ
ences, on the 10th instant, by the adoption of an
ordinance providing for election throughout the
State on the first Monday in August next at which
the people are vote on the question of "co-opera

nrm to the last. The following earnest appeal to
Arkansas to unite her fortunes with the secedipp
States was laid before the Convention on Saturday,
