He saws that Gen STEELE lost between seven

eight cannons only nine were saved. Out of
thirteen thousand men, Gen STEELE returned to
Little Rock with little upwards Of five thousand
all the remainder having been killed. wounded

regiments with him; one was captured entire, and
only forty men belonging the other reformed

fast they caught them Only officers be-
longing to the two negro regiments escaped, and
they resigned they had got to Little

Thc Jobbers and Corruprionis,S bat


The New York Evening Post has a sharp
article on the "J0bbers and Corruptionists" who
have gotten up the Baltimore Convention for the
purpose of giving their favorte Chief formal
nomination. 1t says:
at is useless to deny that the impression now
prevails. among a large number Of our friends.
thatthis Baltimore Convention has been in some
sense forced upon the party; that it has been
brought about by mere party management; and
that the persons most prominently concerned in
il politicians who have a reputation for jobbery
and corruption.
Now, this may be mistake, but so long ms
the nation exists. il ought to be needed Those
who entertain il ought to be convinced that no
design exists. on the part of any one in the LOYAL
ranks. 10 forestall public sentiment. or to thrust
candidate into the arena before an honest and
general canvass of the popular wishes has been
made They should be convinced of il particu-
larry in regard to Mr. Lincoln who is the present
incumbent. who has the vast means of the Gov
eminent at his disposal. and could so easily were
he base enough To do so. procure by the use OF
them his nomination.
Mr. Lincoln could so easily procure his own
nomination were he base enough" That is
surprisingly cool What the Post evidently fears
and believe even, Il that Mr. Lincoln is Just pre-
ci>ely "base enough" to do il. Hence the Post
wishes the Jobbers Cow ention to be broken up
under the form of postponement.

IMPORTANT POLITICAL MANI
FESTo.
THE RADICAL CALL FOR THE CLEVELAND coNvEN-
TION-LETTER FROM WENDELL PHILLIPS IN
DORsISG THE MOVEMENT
To the People Of the United States:

To the People Of The United States:
After having labored Intellectually to defer as
far as was in our power the critical moment when
the attention OF the people must inevitably be
fixed upon the selection of candidate for the
chief ma gistracy of the country; after having m
terrogated our conscience and consulted our duty
a. citizens; Ubeving AT once the sentiment of a
mature conviction and profound affection for the
common country. we feel ourselves impeled on
our own responsibility TO declare TO the people
that the time has come for all independent men,
jealous OF their Liberties and of the national great
ness. to confer together and unite to resist the
swelling invasion of an open. shameless. and un.
restrained patronage which threatens engulf
under its destructive wave the rights of the peo-
ple. the liberty aud dignity of the nation
Deeply impressed with the convection that, in
the Time OF n revolution when the public atten
ton il turned exclusively to the success of
armies, and is consequently less vigilaut of the
public liberties, the patronage derived from the
organization of an army of a million OF men, and
AN administration of affairs which seeks to con-
troll the remotest parts of the county In favor Of
its supreme chief constitute a danger seriously
threatening to the stability of republican institu-
tons; we declare that the principle of one term.
which has now acquired nearly the force of law
by the conservation of time, ought TO be inhexi-
bly adhered to in the approaching election
We further declare that we do not recognize
in the Baltimore Convention the essential condi
tons of "A truly national convention Its prox
unity 10 the center of all interested influences Of
the administration its distance from the center of
the country, its mode of convOcation, the cor
rupting practices to which it has been and inev-
tably will be subjected, do not permit the people
10 assemble there with any expectation of being
able to deliberate at full liberty.
Convinced a. We are, that in the presence OF
the critical circumstances in which the nation is
placed, it is only in the energy and good sense of
the people that the general safety can be found :
satisfied that the only way to consult is to indi-
cate central position to which every may
go without too much expenditure of means and
time. and where the assembled people, far from
all administrative influence. may consult freely
and deliberate peaceably with the presence of the
greatest possible number of men whose known
principles guarantee their sincere and enlightened
devotion to the rights OF the people and to the
preservation of the true basis of a republican
government: earnestly invite fellow
citizens TO unite ut Cleveland. Ohio, on Saturday,
the 3lst of May next, for consultation and con
cert OF action in respect to the approaching Pres
dential election.

The Encraachmenrs of Tyranny.

TO be found the following most happy ilustrs-
tration of the evil consequences Of innovA-
tons upon established governments and il is
strikinsly applicable to own wretched
times
Political innovations originate just as a path
is made in the fields The first rerson that
crosses the grass treads il down Soon, where
the footsteps are the grass has changed it, color:
the depreSsions become more and more distinct
Not long afterwards bits and patches of the soil

are worn quite bare. You see the naked earth.
the roots OF the grass are dried. the grass is
killed 1t springs up no more. and the bare
places gradually extend till the brown devOurs
the intervening green between. The bare worn
places join one another. the continuous path is
formed Tracks enlarge the path on either side
and finally they break down the hedges for their
further accommodation without waiting to ask
the owners leave"
How forcible and graphic is this ancient Illus
ttation of the trespass upon popular rights. IL
is first the trodden grass, then the beaten path
way, and now the broken hedges. until at last il
is common. where despotism rides tree and un-
restrained. We are having a melancholy proof
of the truth Of this to-day, here in what was
once free America DespOtism, under the guise
Of necessity, first demanded pathway. and now
It has broken down all fences aud restraints, and
