 k FEE Rrxo.-A grand Union demonstra tion was recently held at the circus pavilion u Little Rock. Arkansas. When the question upon the ad0puon of the anti-slavery resolu tiOus was taken, the President of the meeting caused the large ring in the center of the pavilion to be cleared. and then announc. d that all citizens of the state present in faver of adopting the substitute would walk into the cleared space in the center of the paviiicn n, Some hundreds of citizens instantly flied the ring. The space was again cleared and the negative of the question put in the same way, and no one entered the ring. We venture 10 sdd that no performance in that ring ever met with greater popular approval than this unan imons vote by loyal citizens representing near Iy every county in Arkansas.
