The Democracy of Arkansas-The Adj
dress Of the Democratic Executive
COmmittee-The Right spirit-UniOn
and Harmony.
We publish this morning the very
able, conciliatory and well-tempered
address of the Executive Committee
to the Democracy of Arkansas. We
most cordially indOrse the general
tone of this document. 1t breathes a
spirit Of Cancellation and we hope it
will reconcile all discord in Arkansas
and unite the party in a compact OPP
position TO Radicalism.
Il will be seen that the address
leaves the question OF a platform
where it properly belongs, to the par
ty assembled in National Conven-
ton. In view of the position as
sumed by the address of the Execu-
tive Committee, there is no cause for
further division of the party in Ar
kansas. Entire harmony should now
pervade the ranks of the Arkansas
Democracy. Personal considerations
should yield to the public good.
Let Democrats ignore, favor or
oppose the new departure as
their judgment may dictate, for
there is no harm to result from
such a discussion, when all admit that
this is a question to be decided by the
National Convention. We are re-
jOiced to see in Arkansas a spirit Of
concession eviRced among our friends,
all Of whom are striving for the same
reat end. Sounds Of discOrd in the
inks of the Democracy of Arkansas
ould be sweetest melody in the ears
the Radicals, and sights of intense
Q coils would ravish their eyes with
ethlight. The Democracy of Arkansas,
.6eith so many OF their party disiran-
olised and with so much corruption
,nInong the Radicals who have control
ng the State, are not strong enough to
tdulge in Improbable disputes
couong themselves. Now that the
Question of a party platform has been
etermitted-Ieit to the proper au-
ority, the National Convention, to
determinations and reprOaches
SHOULD be Stunned as useless and
9engerous, and the entire party
ante in a common and vigor-
, Sgorous effort to defeat Radicalism.
y here is nothing now to distract the
uncils or to impair the energies of
zee Democracy of Arkansas. All are
in the same voyage; and
1ery man is expected to do his duty,
o { Order to save theship and carry her
TO a port Of safety. The dearest
OShts and most essential interests of
people Of Arkansas are at stake,
d they should make a gallant fight
defense of their rights and interests.
je duty of making a platform for the
having been wisely deferred TO
only authorized authority by the
Executive Committee, we
hope to see the Democratic party Of
Arkansas harmonious, enthusiastic
and marching to victory in a solid and
.mpTegnable column.

The steamer Essayons, with her new
machinery, went to work on the twenty
eighth Of last October with fifteen feet OF
water on the bar. She worked five days,
and made channel Of twenty-five feet
wide and eighteen feet deep. She then
came up to the city, and left again on the
third of December. On her arrival below.
she found the bar filed up the same as on
the twenty eighth of October. From De
Gender to February 10, she made a chan
mel two hundred and sixty feet wide and
eighteen feet deep. She then came up to
the city, and returned on the eighth instant,
found all filed up again. Worked part of
the tenth. and is now on her way up to the
city.

The Horrors of ShiDb0ard,

The continuation of the examination in
the ease of Captain Grindle, OF the ship Old
Colony, reveals IL shocking story of bar
barity Ono of the victims yesterday testi-
fed in his own behalf that he was hauled
up into the rigging, and then let down sud
denly on deck, badly iniuring him; he was
bound, chained and gagged. and kicked il,
the face by the captain. having two of his
back teeth broken out; he was dashed to the
anchor, which was hanging over the bow OF
the vessel, and kept there, with the sea
breaking over him, for three hours; he was
confined, being bound and chained, in a
small room, during fifteen days, being kept
on IA pound of biscuit day, and having
nothing to drink but water; he was brought
on deck. dressed in a fantastical manner
and made by the captain to drill like sol
der tor the captains amusement.
His testimony was corroborated by the
cook. and the surgeon who attended him
upon his arrival here testified to his deplOr-
able condition. If this is the kind of men
who command ships We are not surprised
