to Hon. Jesse Turner L, an old citizen OF
Arkansas. and is well-known throughout the
length and breadth of the State. and is as
much devoted to the interests OF Arkansas AS
amy OF those men who claim right TO hold
the Office Of Governor. because born ON Ar
Kansas soil Mr. Turner has lived in Craw-
ford county for more than thirty years, and i,
well-known In the border-coun,ics as an up,
right and hons man, above political trekery
and would stoop to no underhanded means to
procure the nomination for the Office Of gov
crnor. Ii he cannot receive "A free, full and
open expression of the people for the office,
he would accept of it on no other condition.
This We know, because we know the man,
Mr.. T Il a man who Is well acquainted with
the spirit and geninsof Our republican gov
rrnment. and was a warm supporter of our
Lew constitution. In short. Mr.. Turner Is "A
statesman Of large and liberal views. parta.
king Of the spirit OF the Fathers Of the Re.
public and n faithful upholder and defender
nf the constitution Of the United Statos. a
good jurist, and combining all these qualifi-
cations, would make good governor.
As wo said, before, We believe the north
west Ia entitled 70 the office, and II the peu-
pie of this section of the state are true TO
themselves. and stand up for their rights the
nomination Of Mr.. Turner will be secured by
the State convention, to meet on the lith Of
June next This is all we ask for the north

for Governor. without his knowledge or con-
sent believing him to be the right man for
the Office We shall adhere 10 the nomini-
tion. although there are a number Of names
of good men mentioned for the Office of gov
Canor.
We say amen to every word Of the above,
from our nelghbor of the Independent, Let
this part Of the State contend earnestly and
npremittingly for its rights In this respect,
and We shall carry our point.

$4,000 were subscribed, and to day S14,
600 This sum falls S57. 900 short OF
what is needed now; Gen Labarra says
he will call for the balance in fifteen days
or so. In addition to this forced loan
the Mexican government has levied a tax
/ OF one per cent on capital property, etc
American merchants have subscribed to
the loan, but in view of ulterior measures
on the part OF Gen Labarra they have ap
piled to United States Consul Wilson FOL
protection. Gen. Dels is near Matamo
ras with more than thousand men, ant

cE- The Little Rock Herald, speaking of
job printing, says
The State Auditor, Mr.. Miller ,has nstruc-
ted the county clerks TO procure the assess
ment blanks rs cheap as possible Some of
the printing offices In the country proposed
The Gazette proposed to furnish them at sl5
per thousand and we are printing them for
irom $l3 to $l2,50 per thousand. This Is bare
ly what they cost us, but 1t Is all the State
can afford to pay"
An Office In Van Buren,. can beat the
Herald badly. They print the same blanks
for about half those rates per thousand. and
10 State scrip at thai. What do you think OF
that for cheap work?

place will repeat, at the Hinklc Hal

see the house crowded, and we can assure
all that they will get the worth of thei'
money. Recollect Hinkle Hall, and
