The Connecticut Yankee" at Home

The editor of the Little Rock Republican, in
a recent number. attempted to east slur up
on Us, because we were native of Connccti-
try for his country's good,' 1t would
please us "muchly" to hear of his standing
at the place of his nativity. In connection
with this subject we ask to be permitted to
publish notice of our humble self, from
" or Country" a paper published in Middle
town, Conn. our native place. called forth
by u very complementary article of our hum
bic efforts to help forward the cause of justice,
in Il recent number of the Little Rock Gazette.
To both Of the papers, we wish to make our
article is of the date of Feb. lst:
Coon SIGNS IN ARKANsAs.-From the Lit
tie Rock, Ark Gazette, we learn that efforts
are being put forward in taat State for COM
plcte organization of the Democratic or White
Mems Party of Arkansas. Our old friend and
tire-tried dcmocrat-Mr. j. s. Dunham-as a
member of the State Commtte. has taken
personal charge of this matter and has issued
circulars urging the white men in every coun-
ty to form white Mems Clubs" for work in
the future political movements in that State
From what we know of Mr.. Dunham's earn
est, thorough going zeal in the cause of good
Democratic government and his wide eXpe-
rience in party management. and clear insight
into political combinations and movements.
there can be no reasonable doubt of the or
ganization which he is inaugurating in Ar
kansas meeting with final success as desira-
BILE as il will be cheering, to the hearts of all
conservative men throughout this reeling Re-
public. Mr.. punham is favorably known to
the Democrats of this congressional district
where he was long one of the most ardent
and hardwoking members of the party. and
his services were well appreciated as they
were highly valuable. May he now receive
the reward which his labors in the right cause
honestly cntitle him to.

Fellow Citizens Of Crawford County.

am well aware Of the ridieulc an obscure
citizen exposes himsclfto, 10y publicly spend
ing his opinion on political subject already
so sufficiently discussed by abl" and eloquent
men. | am however, likewise aware that
many among you would rather heed man Of
very slender abilities, hut of your own stand
ing and occupation, than men Of talent and
distinction whom you wronghilly suspect Of
ambitious designs, or mis,rust for former po-
litical party differences.
PtIlos CtiseRs Courting the fayors OF the
Federal government, you have maugurated a
new eu in your history by voting for Con-
vention, aud thereby cndorsig reconstruction,
measure which distranchiscs a considerable
potion Of the flower of intellect OF the state,
en- enfranchiscs in their place hOste OF ne
gros just now emerged from bondage of the
lowest degree of morals. and understanding
quite unfit to participate in government af-
fairs and who are nothing but a source of
capital Tor demagogues, hattcrcrs and politi-
cal swindcrs, who make use of their votes TO
elevate themselves to high places they do not
deserve, to get TO rule us with an iron rod
and make money at the expense of honest
men. 1t indirectly establishes social equality
with the negro too, by opening to him the
way into the legislative hall and investing
him with the dignity of 4 law -giver; con-
tingency that does not allow you to expect
protection to white society from body poll
tic, that would have to discriminate social re-
lationship between its own compOnant parts.
The consummation of all this is: the deg
radiation Of the white race, convulsion op-
preston and anarchy in our land. with all
other calamitieS incident to mongrel nations.
There Is, however, one last juncture before
us. that affords an opportunity to avert these
evils; or to riret them forever OF us. | mean
the submitting of the new Constitution to
your vote: and may you then not trifle with
the ballot, but Danish from your heart all fear
and party prcjudices and reject an instru-
mcnt calculated to bring disgrace and misery
on Us, and entail it upon poStcrity. | sincere
ly apologize to an offended but generous mi
nority, for having made use of an unauthor-
lied eNpedient in momentouS time, when
violence is law, and fanaticism and passion
rule. to sound the alarm to 4 majority, who
while they profess to be opposed to Negro
Equality, support radical measures by their
vote, Having thus momcntarily sacrificed my
reputation on the altar of patriotism, by
fcigning fayoring radical doctrine, in order
to contribute to il defeat.
] forever remain the devoted well -WiShcr of
my adopted country.

Record from Home.

Below we copy from n northern paper, a
few hints, as to the estimation In which I. NJ
Bowen is held in his own home Let those
who have been deceived into following Bow
en-, open their eyes and resolve no longer to
be led by men who had no character before
coming among them. The followingis found
in the Franklin, Iowa, Democrat, of Jan. 25th:
LITTLE Rock, ARKANsAs.-We understand
by letter from the above named point that
the negro convention, now In session, is made
up of such men as Joe Brooks, formerly of
this county and certain Thomas NJ Bowen,
Of Mt. Pleasant and few more dirty, low
bred, itinerant carpet-bag, white nigger
scroundrels, who have not been in the State
long enough to gain residence. and If they
had their just dues would be in the peniten
tiary, Next week we shall publish letter
from gentleman Of Iowa. who Is now In Lit
tie Rock, and this will give our readers bet
ter idea OF matters as the writer was, wheh
he left this state, n radical republican, but he
has had his dose, and judging from his letter
don't want any more III his, In the meantime
we would say to our friends In Arkansas, be
of good cheer; for the chemists and doctors
tell us that an over dose of poison Is innocu-
Gus: Il may torture the body for awhile, and
frenzy the mind, but will not Kill. In the end
II will work It's own cure. just SO 1t is with
such men rs this bible bangor Joe Brooks aud
other renegades that have fiocked to Arkan-
sas--they are overriding their villainy and so
heaping infamy upon infamy. one way and
another, that not only their contemplated cf-
feet Is likely to be neutralizcd, but the iniam-
Gus villains themselves will be SO exhausted
by the effort that their capacity TOR further
mischief will soon be curtalled, " not alto
gcther destroyed.
