Is IT NOT THE BEST.

The amount Of fux and reflux in the
tide Of our population is very consider
able - compared with the staid.commu-
mites Of the East. People on this coast
are q little more unsettled and . little
more restless than they are in the old
conservative nurseries Of States, and the
old home-ties always remain more or
less strongly in force, drawing the rover
back toward the land Of his nativity.
There is one phenomenon in connection
with the matter, however, which has
almost attained the regularity OF a
natural law--that is, the returning pio-
neer almost invariably drifts back
again. This shows that the natural
course Of popular movement is west
ward. The West is wide and roomy
and tempts with its glittering chances
and business invitations, whilst the
East is pre-empted, so to speak-pre-
occupied and over-crowded.
Ia the case Of our Puget Sound coun-
try, there is o more concrete and sub
stsntial ground for this state of things
than any mere philosophical theory.
In tho case Of Alaska or some arid
portions Of A-;-o-. .ha gene--l rule
OF migration would most probably be
found to develop exceptions in its
operations. People stay. when once
they have found their way hither be-
cause they can. other things being
equal. 1.-Two here more easily, more com
fortably. and more hopefully with the
same amount of labor than they can
anywhere else--as general rule we
mean.
Our forests are annually yielding an
outcome Of wealth equal to the wheat
crop Of the Willamette valley and their
stores have as yet hardly begun to he
perccptibly drawn upon. Our coal
mines in the incipiency of their devel-
equal in value to the total gold and sill
yer product Of the State IF Oregon, or
OF the province of British Columbia.
Oar fisheries, manufactures and other
industries are progressing. Our agri-
culture. though the latest to be appre-
ciated and suitably developed. is des-
tined to be the foremost of all The
climate speaks fnr itself Such genial

need not the contrast of experimental

are not without their real value. To
sum up the whole matter. the incoming

goers arc the losers.

ARKANSAS DEMOCRACY.
Address of the State Central
 Committee.

In the opening of the political campaign for the present year, the state central executive com mittee, referring to the satisfacto- " advancement of our state on thel road of political honor and material prosperity under a Dem ocratic administration, desires to invoke the continued action of the whole people to secure the perpetuation of q condition of af- fairs so satisfactory to every pa trio:ic citizen.
 In a period incredibly short, Arkansas has been redeemed from state of political vassalage and financial bankruptcy to that of a sovereign equal in the Amer ican confederation, happy and prosperous at home, and respect ed abroad. To the people of the state, through their representa- tives, belongs the honor. It only remains for them to act together to perpetuate the blessing. To that end your committee has call ed convention to assemble at the state capital on the 14th day of June next, and urge upon all who havo the interests of the state and party at heart, to take part in the effort necessary to make that convention in the fullest sense represent the sentiments and interests of the whole party. As each individual must suffer by the maladininistration of pubic affairs, so is he under obligations to assist in shaping events so as to secure a pare and compc- tent administration.
 Your committee urges prompt action in this matter, first upon the county executive committees. In counties where a call for con vention can not be regularly made from any cause, it is suggested that as many as three members of the party in fair standing in each township might unite Tn a joint call for township and county conventions, giving ample notice, and thus efiectually organize the party without the intervention of mass meeting for the selection of RI executive committee. As to the exact mode of organizing no positive direction is given; but the hope is strongly indulged that such organization may be eff fected as that the will of the party may be fully reflected in all the conventions-township, county, congressional and state. In such cases do not wait for some one else to act; act yourselves and see that others do.
 It is an important era in our history, and the destiny of the country for years to come is to be determined. The same corrupt dynasty under which Arkansas suffered so long has now possess ion of every department of the federal government, except the lower house of congress. That is doing faithful work, and Ar kansas has four representatives 10 give her voice expression.
 You will be called to vote not only for candidates Gg state off ces, but also to appdhf delegates to represent you in the National Democratic convention for the purpose of choosing candidates for the highest executive offices of the general government, and with the prospect, for the first time in many years, for giving your preference expression at the general election. The occasion is propitious, as we'll as important. Let each member of the party do his part as an individual, and the beginning at least will be secure.

The election Of directors in the Keokuk-
Northern Line Packet Company was held
last week, and among those elected was
Capt. T. j. Buford, Of this city, under the
rule giving the minority representation
in the board. The Davidson party hold
the power, though, and control the line.
Last Saturday the directors held a meet
ing in St. Louis and reelected the old off
GERS as follows:
President-W. f. Davidson,
Secretary and Treasurer--Jno Sheather
General Superintendent. SDavidson
Executive Committee-W. E. Burr,
Thomas H. Griffith, W. f. Davidson.
1t is said the managers of the line have
determined to do something handsome this
year-and so all the packets are to be fully
repaired, and most CT them refurnished
Several Of the cabins needed this latter
Improvement badly enough last year. Il
is expected that two new steamers will be
ready for business by the 1st of April, but
will be kept in the st. Louis and Keokuk
trade.

allowed to have trade its own way between
this port and st. Louis next season-whicf
report we trust is correct.
