REORGANIZATION ofARKANs.s.

The organization Of Arkansas. to make 1t
Free State. is in progress. Col. Caldwell
Of the 81 Iowa regiment, on his arrival at
Cairo, H., Jan. p, from Little Rock. Ark.
reported a. follows
The State Convention, which assembled on the
9Th inst, had about completed It's labors. The
greater portion Of the State was represented and
no deliberauve body that ever assembled in the
State has comprised more men Of solid worth and
intelligence than tins Convention. An article
prohibiting slavery WAS adopted with but one
dissenting vote. The Constitution is to be sub
mitied 10 the people OF the 2d Monday in March.
at which time the State officers and members Of
the Legislature viii be elected. The Legislature
Is to meet on the 81 Monday in April
The acton Of the Convention was universally
satisfactory 10 loyal men. The qualification for
voters Is that presented by the President in his
proclamation. 1t Is believed that the loyal Cit
zens will be able 10 poll %. 900 voters for the
constitution. The Convention will recommend a
suitable person for Provisional Governor Judge
Murphy is spoken Of in this connection.
Here is a change indeed 1t is not ten
years since the Legislature of Arkansas
passed an act to reduce to slavery all the
blacks and mulattocs then free in the State
who should be found within its borders after
prescribed day. To escape that fate. null
tItudes Of the hapless victims, old and Young
OF both sexes, sold their property, at what
ever price their enemies pleased to give for it,
or left 1t to he seized by the first conner. and
IN poverty and distress hurried themselves
out OF the State to seek what fortune thew
might find in other States less barbarous and
lnhuman IN their enactments Moreover.
when the rebellion, IN the form of secession
and the seizure of [. ;. property began, Ar
kansas was swift to cast in her lot with the
traitors Of the seaboard States. On the 22d
OF April, 1851, Col Jones. under orders
from Gov. Rector, seized large amount of
T. > military stores at Napoleon three
days after, Fort Smith was seized by Col.
Borland and 300 Arkansas volunteers. ae-
ting under State authority. and on the 6th
OF Nay, the Arkansas Convention. bv vote
OF sixty one ayes to one no, passed its ordi-
nance OF secession.
But few months taught the people Of
Arkansas that the Poisonous seed of rebellion
which they had been 50 eager to sow. was
rlpenins into harvest Of desolation and
blood for them which they had not looked
for As Gen. Can't. told them--they went
INTO the rebellion for the sake OF slavery.
and in less than two wears Of bitter expe-
rience they have found out not only that re-
belllon was absolute ruin for them. but that
their only hope for the future lies in roofing
up slavery and clearing their soil from Its
pestllent influence altogether And now
Arkansas Is one Of the first OF the slave States |
to strike out boldly for freedom to all who
dwell within its borders. Who could have
believed, three years ago, that such an event
would have been seen within 20 short a time
