The local members OF the State Central
committee, the organs of the party, who have
taken sides against the convention, are now
having their eyes opened. They find that the
people will act for themselves, and will carry
the day, regardless of any promises that may
be made to get them off the true path; and
before this Is read by all our readers, they
do; and AS soon as we shall have heard from
Baltimore, that Greeley and Brown have been
endorsed, we expect to find the noble old Ca
zette, the unwavering Standard, and the fear
less Democrat. crying aloud to all the people
to join in, and by following 20 the letter the
action of the Convention, aid In the salvation
of Arkansas. This done. the Central commit
tee, the creature of the Convention, will do
the same.
The above closing extract of an editorial
in the Fort Smith Herald. does, we think, the
State Executive Committee great injustice.
The editor, evidently, had not read the adj
dress of the committee. Instead Of the COM
mittee taking sides against the position adopt
ed by the large majority Of the Convention,
1t boldly sustains and declares nnequiyocally
for the majority, The committee, in our
humble judgment acted none too soon. Ii
they were ever to decide mooted poiatcd. it
own various constructions on what the Con-
vcntion did do, or what it did not do The
committee have taken the only and real scnsi-
bic view Of what the Convention did mean by
their action after adopting the Brooks plat
form and declaring against any combination
with the Minstrel party, by recommending
the acceptance Of Mr. Brooks ms the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor. We were one
that believed that future action would have
been better-that two months hence was soon
enough for a nominating convention. This
point we urged ut the meeting Of the State
Executive Committee year ago; for the
holding Of a State Convention last Fall to ap-
point Delegates to the National Convention
and perfection of the organization 0fthe par
ty-that 1t would be almost impossible to get
together t,co State Conventions this summer,
and arguing that September was soon enough
for Convention to meet to put ticket in
the field and detino the future policy Of the
party. We were fully justified in our oppo-
sition to the majority Of the Central Commit
tee. The Convention would not hear to ad-
journing and coming back again. The minds
of the great mass of the Delegates were not
definitely settled what 1t was best to do under
the circumstances; consequently. looking at
the situation from the present outlook, they
adopted the Brooks platform of the 22d OF
June, and deciding not to make straight
out Democratic ticket, thereby signifying
their acceptance OfMr. Brooks as their candi-
date for Governor. What other satisfactory
conclusion could the committee have arrived

BETTER THAN OLD PRoB.-Our Westport
correspondent says: "Mr. James A. Hathaway

travelled through Westport about twice

fails to storm when he makes trip that way.
1t has been noticed so frequently by the farm
ers that when he is seen the expression is,
Hathaway has come; it will rain SOON Last
Thursday prominent farmer and cattle broker
of Westport met Mr. Hathaway in New Bed
ford and inquired when he was coming over, as
rain was needed very much. Mr.. H. replied
that was not intending to come till the first of
next week, but if rain was desired very much,
so that he could have his expenses paid, he
would come out and stop over Sunday. Mr.. HI.
was informed by the farmer that he would pay
all expenses if he would come and bring rain,

out, and the storm of Saturday followed-and
