Democrats for six months you
have been constantly warning with
Radicalism. In May last, you passed
through a struggle of great interest
and severity; but your labors were
crowned with victory. On the Attn of
August another battle was fought,
with the same detestable enemy, and
another victory won. In these two
contests, every Democrat performed
his whole duty. But we are now
summoned to still another battle.
The final struggle comes off in No
vember next. Throughout the State,
the Democratic captains are marshal
ing their hosts. Union and harmony
seems to pervade the party elsewhere.
But a single dark spot rests upon the
horizon. Two conventions are to be
held in this city to-day-one for
the purpose Of nominating q Floater,
and the other to select a State Senator.
The chickering's which we hear in re-
gard to these two nominations alone
breaks the universal harmony that
would otherwise pervade the party
throughout the State. We trust all
cause of trouble wiz be removed on
to-day, by a spirit Of liberality
and concession. Itwould be a griey-
Gus shame, should internal dissen-
sions jeOpardize our Congressional
candidate, as well as the entire DEM
oeratic ticket in this district. We
have no interest in the result other
than a concern for the harmony Of the
party, and the honor, peace and happi.
ness of the country. The APPEAL has
no candidates, no favorites. Its editors
seek no office; they desire none; they
would have none. We think we are,
therefore, In a position 70 advise for
the good Of the party-and, we plead
for union, harmony and concession In
the two Conventions to-day. Surely
there is patriotism enough left In the
Democratic party to do justice, and to

THE enterprise of the American
press in procuring and publishing wal
news astonishes Europeans, who al
unused to ''that sort of thing, you
know" are agape in wonder. The
APPEAL, ever since the war com
menced, has published more concern
ing it, from Prussian as wellas French
sources, than any of the London pa
pers in any two days of the same
time. However, there is some slight
improvement perceptible, even with
these slow coaches. The most enter
prislng among them-the Telegraph
is closely initiating the style Of Amer
lean journalism, and is increasing the
number of its dispatches.

ARKANSAS.

Colonel R. j. Alcorn, in very bad
health, is at HOtSprings.
The Arkansas river at Little Rock
was in fine navigable condition last
Tuesday.
Sebastian county voted $100,0 900 to
the Little Rock and Fort Smith road
last Saturday.
Congress has voted the Memphis
and Little Rock railroad 365, $50 acres
OF the public lands; the Cairo and
Fulton road, 935, 621 acres; Little Rock
and Fort Smith, 453,77I acres; Iron
Mountain railroad, $780, 600, and
I,400, 900 acres besides.
A fine buck war killed on the main
street of Batesville on Thursday last.
A party of hunters were on a drive,
and started the deer about four miles
from town, and he was not overtaken
until he reached the main street,
when he was shot by Mr.. Roddy.
The Napoleon Press says there is
not a merchant in Memphis who will
not admit that it is the trade OF
Arkansas that supports their city
that take away the trade of our State
and she would soon dwindle down to
the size of Helena. Therefore, all our
citizens have to do to build up Helena,
Little Rock and other cities in our
State is to resolve to trade with
Arkansas merchants.
Captain Maccabe states that Craig
head county voted, on the 10Th OF
August, a subscription of 500, 900 to
the Iron Mountain and Helena rail-
road; Phillips voted, on the Goth of
the same month, 500, 900 to this road /;
Poinsett, Green and st. Francis coun-
ties will vote on the same subject
during the present month, doubtless
with the same result. This begins to
look like business. The President of
the road, Colonel D. G. Cross, executed
a deedof 20,S0O acres of fine land to
this road.
The Radical county convention, at
Fort Smith, like the Radical State
convention of Missouri, was dissev-
cred. Its parts separated and made
separate nominations. Dill and BOles
are the two brilliant fellows who want
to go to Congress, and have caused
this unhappy condition of the party
at Fort Smith. One Searle, and a
magnificent specimen of Radical
humanity named Britton, each hope
to get in by means of this quarrel
among friends of the other aspirants.

GENERAL GRANT recognizes the
French Republic. AS between the two
great belligerent powers, it is believed
he has been laying the foundation for
Intervention. In order TO monopo-
lie the German vote Of the country
for the Radical party, an official ex-
preston of strong sympathy with
Germany is pressed on the President.
Now, it is urged, is the moment for
the United States to make its mark
and establish its influence among the
nations. The great success Of the
Radical government in producing
"union" with the help of the bayonet,
and the great flood Of popularity
which it enjoys just now, they in
sist should be taken at the tide.
The unbounded power of Radicalism
consists in the union of the heart Of
the country. The people of all the
States are willing to don their arms
and follow the flag around the globe
wherever our military Don Quixotte
may choose to carry it. A national
debt is a national blessing, and the
greater the debt the greater the bless
ing. So, now is the time to augment
it, and show to the world our union,
our resources, and our courage and
power. The precious metals abound,
and the people, lightly taxed, are well
governed, loyal and happy. If they
were taxed more heavily, their de-
votion to the Government would be
only the more abundantly eyinced in
the amount of their accomplishing
sacrifices. We can now afford to go
to war, especially on paper. There is
reason to fear that the tranco-Prussia
matter may be settled before we can
have the glory of rushing in. Gen
eral Grant should hurry up, France
will never invade US by land, and,
thanks to the Alabama, we have no
ships on the ocean liable under the
law of nations to be seized. Having
no commerce, we are in no condition
to be robbed. 1t will be a great mis-
fortune 10 US if the Government"
does not embrace this favorable oppor-
tunity to show our union, our power
and u pluck. What an unhappy
contamination if the wars has ended
already, when Grant and the Radi-
Gals have made so little out of it.

HUMBOLDT was a true Republican,
and loved his country and ace. He
sleeps beneath an humble monument
at Tegil. Not long ago when Ger
mans all over the world, and we
Americans were celebrating the fame
Of the immortal philosopher, this
King Of Prussia who, through the in
tervention of Moltke's genius, has
won immortal victories, refused to
participate in ceremonials conducted
in honor Of Humboldt's fame and
deeds. The Prussian monarch never
forgot that Humboldt loved freedom.
There are many who do not regret
the overthrow Of Napoleon who de-
pIore the triumph of Prussia's
King. There are very many who
wished Prussians to win battles who
oppose the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of France.
Inere are Germans, who are not Prus-
slams, anxious for the maintenance of
the distinctiveness of the German
States. Such are the accretions to the
Kings autocracy that Prussia is Ger

sink selfshness in a noble effort to
promote that harmony, without
which we cannot hope to win victo-
ries. The Radicals are organizing
throughoutthe State, and particularly
i this district. They will not give up
the Offices on which they have bat
tened for five years without a struggle,
and they will fight with the despera-
ton Of the historic soldier, who, after
his arms were cleft from his body
held on to the vessel of the enemy
with his teeth. Notwithstanding the
unprecedented large majority with
which the indemitable and ever
faithful Democracy Of our glorious
State succeeded in the late election,
the restless and never-say-die Radical
plunderers are already at work, en-
deavoring by any and all means to
devise some plan for the overthrow
of Democratic ascendancy. The cleo
ton of q Democratic Governor is GER
tain, as there is no discord in
that quarter. But our candidates
for Congress and the Legisla-
ture must not be endangered
by discussions. The Democratic
party in this district is in imminent
peril. Defeat or victory depends
upon the action of the party to-
day. The people are not u~nobservant
fools, and will place the responsibility
of discord where it properly belongs,
for it is easy to point the finger al
those who would permit their OWL
petty aspirations to mar the harmony
of the party and thus bring disaster
and defeat.
We hope some plan will be agreed
upon to-day to reconcile al
troubles. But we must look more t.
the patriotism and justice of Demo
Gratis than to any other source. Tit
great danger now is not from the out
side; il is from within. The Demo
cratic party has won too many vic
tories over the advocates of bad prin
ciples, vicious measures, and destruc
tive h~eresies-it is laboring too harC
for the Constitution-its prospects ar,
too briIliant-it is too essential to thu
country and to the success of our in
situations, to be allowed, after all 1t
past sufferings and its bright future
to be set upon and pulled to pieces b!
mad and bad men from within
Democrats Of Shelby, grave respon
sibilities rest upon you to-day. Shal
it be an suspicious day in our history
or shall there be chickering's ant
wranglings, and local questions ant
mutual defiance? Can we not com
together like a band OF dispossesse'
brothers to take counsel, and to draw
nearer together, rather than to quarre
among ourselves? We do plead 70
harmony, for a spirit of mutual con
cession, for the temper that will max
a sacrifice of even strong convictions
for a prevailing determination t
stand united at all hazards against tn
public enemy.
