A WORD TO THE PUBLIC.
"A Whereas the Spring
Creek Woolen Manufactory, during the present
season, has been patronized to the full extent of
is producing abilities, and in anticipation of a
still greater patronage the coming season, the
proprietors have been induced to add more new
machinery of the very latest improvements This
machinery will facilitate operations very much
and at the same time will improve the real value
OF out cloths at least ten per cent while our pr-
ces shall remain as heretofore; it being ambi-
tion to build up a reputation for this establish
men that will add all things thereto. From the
facts here set forth we confidently believe that
wool growers and all other good peor lie can now
aea! win us very much to their own advantage
While there are many things alike in business of
this kind, there is also much that is different.
word to the wise is sufficient Give us call and
satisfy yourselves that this is the place the peo
pie get the worth oftheir money

Rtsolred. That the platform of the party known as the black republican party, contains unconstitu, itonal dogmas, dangerous ill their tendency and highly derogatory to the rights ot the oouth' among which is to be found the injurious and un- truthful enunciations of the rights of the African race in this country to social and political equahty with the whites.
 Pesolred, That it is the sense of this convention, from the past history of the party known as the black republican partyfrom the past action of It's leaders, and their course in the present crisis ana from the acts utteranccs and conduct of its newly elected president, that said party intends to abide 5y and carry out if possible, it's Insulting and unconstitutional platform.
 Resolsed, That the seeding States have ample justification for having dissolved the ties winch bound them to the old federal Union, in the constant and unconstitutional political warfare made by the party, known as the black republican party, upon the institutions of the slave States, which warfare has cuIminated in the election of president by that party by purely sectional Yote-upon an uncon, stitutional platform, the principles oi winch, IT carried out, would utterly ruin the South.
 Resolred, That this convention cannot shut its eyes upon the fact that the government or the limited States is now under control of said black republican party and that said party has power to use every arm of the same, except perhaps the judicial.
 Rcsolped, That in the opinion of this convention it is conclusion clearly resulting from the fore, going that every feeling of honor, interest and sympathy demand that the State ot Arkansas should discontinue her present political relations with the United States of America. and unite herself with the Confederate States of America
