The most suicidal move that can by
any possibility be made between now
and the next general election by the
Democratic party, or its Acknowledged
leaders, is to split or divide the party.
The axiom that "united we stand,
divided we fall" could never be more
applicable to any people, nation or
party, than it is at this moment TO the
Democratic party of this nation. We
think every patriot should be willing
to make a very liberal sacrifice of his
individual ideas as to policy and of his
personal preference as to men, for the
sake of the one most necessary element
of success, harmony. This is no time
for chickering's and divisions on ques-
tons Of party policy. We have no
hesitancy in saying that the election
of 1872 is vastly the most important
one ever held on the American con-
linent, one which involves the liberties
Of the people, and the very perpetuity
of the government itself Surely at
such time, when questions Of such
vast moment, not only TO us but to
millions yet to be, are TO be decided at
the ballot box, and when it is evident
that division is death, the great leaders
Of this great party will be willing to
make sacrifices upon the altar Of their
country, which shall be worthy of the
great cause in which We are engaged.
We want no laggards now. 1t be-
comes every man who feels the weight
of the burthens under which a whole
nation groans, TO put his shoulder to
the wheel, to merge his whole power
for good into the common treasury,
and with one will and one determination
march forward to battle against the
inottled cohorts of our country's enc
(nics, for The one glorious end of sccur-
|ng to cur postelity the incstimable
blessings Of that liberty for which our
nccstors laid down their lives and
heir fortunes, having pledged that
hich is greater than these, even their
bcrod honor, Let Us come up to our
pity as one man, presenting a united
ont to the enemy, urged on by our
We of liberty and due appreciation
the great work we have to do, and
ctory is ours. Tie great heart of the
ople sighs for relief, and they only
hnt TO know that Tie great Conser-
tive army of the nation is organized
d united, when they will fall into
and march, like veterans, to the
lsic of universal freedom and uni
rsal amnesty, to such a victory as

IMPROVEMENT. We learn that Mr..
Tomkins, who owns the land on the
Little Missouri river, near where the
survey Of the Cairo and Fulton rail
road crosses, and at the head of steam,
boat navigation, designs, in short
time, laying of town at that point,
and will make liberal propositions to
persons who may wish to purchase
there or make improvements.
The Little Missouri has been pro-
nounccd by an engineer, detailed by
the Secretary Of War TO make the ex-
animation, the best small river for
navigation in the State. Based upon
this, an Appropriation was made by
Congress to improve it, which will be
done this summer and coming fall,
making another important outlet and
channel of communication for one OF
the best portions of our State. A
navigation as certain as the Ouachita
to Camden will be brought in less than
twenty-five miles of this place, and n
much less distance to large cotton
growing community. A great advan-
tage this has as shipping point is in
the roads, which will be good at all
seasons Of the year, making the land
carriage cheap and convenient. To
the northern and eastern portion Of this
county, TO all of Nevada north of the
.Texre' Rouge, toraE portion Of SEWER
and Pike counties, this viii become
depot for the shipment Of their cotton
and where, no doubt, in a short tim'
cnterprising men will supply them witt
all articles of prime necessity as cheapI
ly as they can be had elsewhere in tho
country.
During the summer Mr.. Tomkins|
intends making public sale of lots ip|
the proposed town, of which extended
notice will be given, and in which, no
doubt, safe investment may bo made
by enterprising men desiring property
in what must become a thriving vii
