be gathered from the very full reports which
We publish. from day to day. The most i'm
portant move, is the proclamation OF Cover

every member will be present promptly, that

the disordered state of affairs which they now
suffer. There is no use of dodging the ques-
tion there will be no peace in Arkansas until
it is settled, Let the Legislature say whether
1t is Brooks or Baxter, and if they are not
able to come to conclusion satisfactory to
all. let them at once refer it back to the people
by calling a Convention-which will settle
this and many ether questions to the interest

1t Is said that Joseph Brooks has colleagu-
ed with clayton, Dorsey and Mel lure in or
der to secure his Office 10 which he claims &c
have been elected. and this is given as the
reason why those who elected him should now
forsake him. Ii appears to us however. that
Brooks Is trying to place himself in his office
and Is risking good deal to hold it-at least
the accounts from Little Rock indicate that
nc is risking life and every thing to hold It,
1t strikes us that Brooks is using Clayton aud
Drsey. but we cant asy ct see how Clayton
and Dorsey can be using him, when it is evi-
dent if Breoks holds his Office Dorsey must OF
necessity lose his seat In the Senate. Ddrdd

Don't deceive yourself Our old friend
Barry Is not, certainly, so simple as to believe
for a moment after reflection, that Dorsey
would let go his hold in the U. 5. Senate-not
bit of it-nothing the people oil Arkansas
can do will reach him. Brooks has leagued
with Clayton & Co. and no good to the people
OF the State will grow eut Of 1t. Shake the
dust from your feet, Captain, and come out
from the unclean thing.
