Resolved, That a convention of tue democratic conservative party of Arkansas be called to meet in the city of Little Rock, on Wednes- day, the fourteenth day of June, 1876, for the purpose of nominat- ing candidates for the state offices to be voted for at an election to be held on the fourth day of Sep tembcr, 1876, and also presiden- tial electoral ticket and to appoint delegates to the national demo- cratic convention, to be held in St. Louis on the twenty-seventh day of June, 1876, and for the transaction of such other business as may be deemed advisable.
 Resolved, That the county ex- ccutive committees be requested and urged to take prompt action in the premises, and convene the party in their respective counties, in order that q full and fair repre- scntation of the party and it's in terests may be had at the state convention.

cases do not wait for some one else to act; act yourselves and see Chat 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 to give her voice expression.
 You will be called to vote not only for candidates for state off ces, but also to appoint 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 well as important. Let each member of the party do his part as an individual, and the beginning at least will be secure.

ARKANSAS DEMOCRACY.
Address of the State Central
 Committee.

Tn the opening of the political campaign for the present year, the state central executive com mittee, referring to the satis;acto- " advancement of our state on the road of political honor and material prosperity under Dem ocratic administration, desires to invoke tn. continued action of the whole people to secure the perpetuation of a condition of af- fairs so satisfactory to every pa trlotic citizen.
 In q period incredibly short, Arkansas has been redeemed from a 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 a convention to assemble at the state capital on the llth day of June next, and urge upon all who have 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 standardization of pubhc affairs, so is he under obligations to assist in shaping events so as to secure 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 Q con vcntion 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 q joint call for township and county conventions, giving ample notice, and thus efiectually organize the party without the intervention of a mass meeting for the selection of al 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 ef fected as that the will of the party may be fully reflected in all the conventions township, county congressional and state.

 CELEBRATED
 LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
FOR THE CURE OF

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. DAIN in the right side, under the
 edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder-blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, ard is sometimes mis- taken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alter native with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally considerable loss ofmemory, accompanied with apain- full sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is some times an attendant. Tie patient complains of weariness and debility he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be bene- ficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every rem edy. Several of the above symp- toms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.
 AGUE AND FEVER.
 DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them A FAX IElAL.
 For all Bilious Arrangements, and as a simple purgative, they are un- equaled.

We publish with pleasure the following
interesting letter from the widow OF the
late DR.. JAMES BoLToS:
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, July 81, 1876.
4Nessrs. Editors of the Dispatch:
Noticing in your editorial column some
allusion to an address Of my late husband,
DR.. James Bolton, before the Academy Of
Medicine OF the city Of Richmond, deliver
ed in 1867, / beg leave to send you synoI-
sis OF that address, which you can publish
or not as suits your Judgment.
The subject Of that address was "Ipe
Unity OF the Human Race" based upon the
Mosaic account rs set forth in Genesis. The
conclusions he drew were these:
LIST. That mankind consists OF but one
race, being descended from single pair:
I'd. That mankind consists Of many dis
tinct species, originating at the time OF the
confusion Of tongues.
Sd. That this change OF one species into
many was accomplished by miraculous
power.
4th. That in this exercise of miraculous
power the Divine Being followed the law
laid down in the work OF creation-viZ., di-
yiding mankind into regular Sradatlons
from the nearest approximation to the brute
up to the highest degree Of intelligence,
which is but little lower than the angels.
The word Grace" signifies root, and the
principal question involved in the discus
sion of the subject of this address is whether
all mankind have sprung from single pair
or root, or from several originally distinct
pairs or roots.
Another qucstion-viz., Does mankind
consist of but one species, comprising large
number OF accidental varieties, or does il
consist Of several distinct species? The
word "species" understood to imply essen
tial permanent characteristics.
Respectfully, A. n. BOLTON.
