IT is pleasant to see that the Republic
can journals are not alone in picking
out and holding up to the light the in
conEruities,-to use mild word,-in
the character OF President johnson.
The following bright paragraph is from
the New York World:
1.-THE cry OF President johnson for an
addition TO the stock of words in the
English language is too pathetic and
urgent not 10 be commended TO the
prompt and serious consideration oil
professional linguists. Words re-
marked the President at Baltimore on
Saturday,, ARE Inadequate to express
the feelings of my heart for the mani
festations on this occasion" II the
Lexicon OF Shakespeare contained
words which sufficed to express the
passion of an Antony and the melan-
choly OF Hamlet, and if Mr.. Milton
was enabled to portray in English verse
the hates, the ambitions, and the des-
pair of Lucifer himself, what must be
those emotions of the Presidential
namesake OF the great British lexico-
grapher, which are indispensable by all
the wealth OF words that the latter
CLEANED and assorted from their pages.

The editor Of the Fort Smith Era gives vent
to its feelings, ION its friends being worsted,
in the Convention held In this city on 3lst

your friends, Dell. were sQuclched at every
point in the Convention. Take our advice
and put your "shouder to the wheel" and

squeeze at the best:
TnE MEETING AT VAN BuREN-Thst man of
infamous record, public as well AS private,
Thomas NJ. Bowen, succeeded last Saturday in
having himself nominated q candidate for the
Convention from Crawford county.
How this was brought about is well known,
and will be duly exposed. 1t is a sad blow TO
Republicanism in our sister county across the
river, indeed a deep disgrace and injury TO
the party in the whole Northwest. No party
can live and carry such rotten carcass as
Bowen.
His temporary success is, of course. owing
to a perfect carnival of the most unblushing
lies and Misrepresentation, which brain
fertile in evil can invent.
The platform on which he has been elected
is republican, but he will desert 1t, As he has
ever deserted any party or platform or any
sacred obligation and oath, whenever it seems
to pay to do so.
"A couple OF coIored men from this county,
once Of considerable influence among their
people, who not long ago had been detected
in the laudable business of selling out to the
Bastards. and were therefore ignominiously
expelled from the society of colored people in
Sebastian county. and in fact where ever they
are known, were the tit cO-workers of such a
man as Bowen. and figure extensively in the
proceedings Of the Convention, as docs Ike
,riSe the man ,chom the coIored people Of both
counties, point out AS the individual who be-
trayed the Union League and furnished the
Ritual for publication in the Press
The fact Is, there is not man of any self
respect in Crawford that will vote for Bowen
Judge lIarrell, man not only sound
Radical, but also man of unblemished pri-
yate character, is said to be the choice Of the
people of Crawford. ..... ..... .
1t is to be hoped he will be elected. ..

FREE SPEECm.-We heard great deal
from the Republicans before the rebel
lion, about free soil, free speech, and Il
free press. These they were determined
to have at any cost-war or no war.
Well, we have had the war, and free soil
is promised to the negroes if they vote
right. AS to the free speech and free
press, we are learning more about that
as we read the pompous orders Of the
five military dukes. The latest news
from Gen, Pope is, that he has notified
papers in Georgia opposed to the Con,
gressional programme of reconstruction,
of the withdrawal Of patronage from
them. How these things will read in
history! Go on, gentlemen, You are
digging a pit, and digging it deep Con-
necticW Register. s..

.S-The Radicals over the river are deter
mined to have finger in our mess here. At
meeting held on Saturday the 3lst of Au-
gust, Granville Ryles, gave his views of the
Crawford County Convention as follows:
"Granylle Rylcs. colored, then obtained
the floor and stated that he had been present
that day at a meeting held in Van Buren, at
which delegates to the Constitutional Con-
vention from Crawford county were nomi-
mated, and that he there witnessed with sur
prise and grief how a portion Of the colored
people of Crawford county allowed themselves
to be led aStray by men who but recently
were their bitter opponents, and whose only
object was to get into office and then spurn
them. He also spoke of the atrocious false
hoods General Bowen. who controlled the
meeting at Van Buren,, uttered concerning the
editor of the Neto Era.
Resolutions were then passed urging the
Republicans of Crawford county to pay no
heed to such men as General Bowen AS a
leader, who but y short time ago put himself
declared the Assertions of Bowen concerning
the editor of the NeW Era, the well-tried
champion of RepublicaniSm in Arkansas, as
notoriously and UNANIMOUSLY false in every par
ticular"

TIE EDUCATION OF THR CoLoEED PEo-
PLE.-The Monticello Guardian in very
excellent article on this subject says: If
there ever was time when the frecd people
should know how to read. write and cipher,
it is now. In their present condition they
are subject to the arts and devices OF wicked
men, who in the garb OF friends, and pre-
sum;ng on their ignorance are making
them political slaves, while on the other
hand. in the daily avocations of life. they
are also prey to the avaricc and cupidity
Of their neighbors.
This is indeed suggestion to the colored
people that is alike worthy of their serious
consideration and immediate attention.
The white people should cooperate with,
and aid and assist them in establishing and
maintaining schools when and wherever it
is practicable Education offers to the col
ored people the only means of making them
selves capable ofenjoyirg their present CON
dition and Of becoming useful members OF
society. We therefore urge upon every in
telligent colored man, and white man who
has freedmen in his employment, to keep
the subject constantly before them, showing
its importance to their future success and
much good will be the result. We say to
the colored people, do not allow yourselves
to be drawn from the important domestic
duties by the exciting politics Of the coun,
try. Strive to educate your children, clothe
and feed them. These arc your first and
most sacred du,ics-du,ies required ofvou
by the religion of the Savior you worrhip
