JOB WORK! JOB WORK!!
The public will bear in mind that we are
thoroughly prepared to do all kinds of Job
Work, Plain and Fancy, in the neatest style,
and in shorter time than can be done else
where in the State. Call in with your cards,
bills, bill-heads, etc., and give our Fa?t Press
a trial. Our Job Printer is thoroughly com
petent, and finishes bis work with elegance
and taste. Our prices for work are as liberal
as arc charged elsewhere.

Some of our subscribers whose papers
reach them by the Brownsville wayside post
office ol Walnut Plains, informs us that they
frequently do not receive them until they
have been sent to Brownsville, and then re
turned to their destination. As the package
for Walnut PWns is not directed to be sent
by the wa}- of Brownsville, it seems somewhat
singular that it so often selects that route.

State Convention.
In our telegraphic columns will be found
au account of what has been done jn that
body, now sitting at Little Rock. The time
seems to have generally been taken up by
speeches from members of the Convention
and the Commissioners from South Carolina
and Georgia, upon the political troubles of the
country. Nothing definite has yet been set
tled upon. Col. R. G. Payne, of Memphis,
and lions. R. II. Johnson and T. (_'. Hind
man have addressed the members of the
Convention upon the subject of secession.

The Inaugural of Lincoln.
On the outside of our paper to-day, will be
found the entire inaugural address of Mr.
Lincoln. It certainly i- a most extraordinary
document. There i -a striking re-omblancc
in it to the :* Oi l Man of the Mountain.” At
a distance, it> profile u mble- the visage*of
war. but upon a nearer approach, the coun
tenance billigerant entirely disappears and
leaves the observer in doubt as to what his
eyes had beheld. In one pcr.ion of this equi
vocating, and certainly amusing paper from
the Federal head of the country, wo find the
following language in regard to those States
which have seceded, and the question of seecs
• . 1 T I 11.1 . ♦ 1
ciuii in j;uuciui . x jiu:u uk;« iii uumciii
tion of universal law and the Constitution,
the Union of the States is ] cqdual. Per
petuity is implied, if not expressed, in the
fundamental law of all national governments.
It is safe to asset i no government proper
ever had a provision in the organic law fol
ks own termination. T'iie power confided
to me will bo used to hold and occupy and pos
sess the property and places belonging to the
Government, and to collect duties and imports.
But. beyond what may be necessary for tlic-e
objects, there will be no invasion, no using of
force against or among people anywhere.”
Thus does the doughty leader of the Black
Republican party set forth his ideas of carry
ing on (he Government for the. nest four
years ; and thus doc lie indicate hi< inten
tion to do so •• even at the Cannon's mouth,”
for the purpose of taking and holding in pos
session the property and places in the seceded
States, which the Government, under his ad
ministration, deems its own. The revenues,
too, must be collected, though war should
ensue in the attempt, but beyond tlic-e small
matters no force shall be used among the peo
ple in those States which have declared them
selves absolved from the common Union.
Indubitably, this looks like the Andrew Jack
son, whifh his Harriet Beecher Stowe party,
in the Northern section claimed he was. ilc
distinctly asserts that “ the duties on imports”
must be collected and returned to the Federal
Treasury by officers appointed, among the
residents of what is known as the Southern
Confederacy, or force must be used to assist
them in accomplishing tlrs object. The cel
ebrated iron will of the Old Hero is clearly
shadowed forth in tuisunuiNiakublc language.
*ised by tie world-widely-known Abraham.
The “Old Man of the Mountains” most as
suredly assumes the front of “grim visaged
war,” when viewed from this fur off poiut of
the Constitution, the I nion and the j erpet
ual condition of the States. But observe h m.
from a closer standing place, on the same sub
ject, when he says that: “Where hostility
to the L nited States, in any internal locality,
shall be so great as to prevent competent resi
dent citizens from holding Federal offices.
there will be no attempt to force obnoxious
strangers am ng the people for that object.
While the stf ? leanl right may exist in the
Government to enforce the exercise of these
offices, the attempt to do so would be irritat
ing. and so nearly impracticable withal, that
I deem it better to forego for the time the
use of such officers.” Does not this portion of
the inaugural look as much like the war robes
of Andrew Jackson have been defied by
Mr. Lincoln as they were donned when lie
asserted the revenues were to Lc collected, at
all hazards, from the ports of the seceded
States? From our reading of this paper it
undoubtedly looks so.
What Mr. Lincoln wishes to he under
stood as regal Is the policy to be pursued to
ward the now Confederated States of the
South, by bis Administration, no one can tell
by reading thi- address which is supposed to
reflect his sentiments upon the subject. What
lie really intends to do. remains for future de
velopments. Ilis course may be war, and it
may be peace.
This we deem to be a fair deduction, from
a careful perusal of his inaugural, and conse
quently. wc think it would he wise for our
State Convention, if it shall do nothing else, to
pursue a course which would meet the occasion
of either war or peace, inasmuch as there is a
majority of the members of that body directly
opposed to immediate and unconditional seces
sion. A resolution should bypassed authoriz
ing the Governor of the State to declare Arkan
sas severed from the t nion when the Adminis
tration of Mr. Lincoln shall make a coercive
move against the seceded States of the South,
either in an attempt to collect the revenue
or retake the f >rts and arsenals within their
l-Unas. This, it seems to us, would be un
i
objectionable to the most extremely devoted
lover of the Union, if Southern soil mai'ks
tho place of his birth. No such person it)
the State or State Convention could remain
in the Union, and assist or countenance a
Black Republican President in making war
upon the people of those seven sister States
fur the purpose of bringing them back under
his rule, whether they desired it or not. If
Arkansas will not secede directly, then let her
do so conditionally.

Vote in- tiie Recent Election.—The
following is gleaned from the returns of the
late election:
| Cnurn vote, 23.020
j Secession, 17.927
Union majority, 5.GU0
The foregoing is the result of comparing
the number of voles fur the leading candidates
on each side. '1 here were scattering votes
uiveu fur both Union and Secession candi
dates —these reduce the aggregate vote, hut
do not materially vary the result, 'there
were probably 2lU>l,0 in the State yvho did
not turn out to the election. It would be a
lair estimate to s ty that at least two-thirds of
the non-voting citizens tire Union men.
The vote on the Convention stood as fol
lows :
For Convention, . 27.412
j Against, 15,820
j Majority for Convention, 11,580

Mn. Etheridge and the Force IJili. —
M e tire proud to see that the telegraph#; des
patches which announced a lew days ago that j
our icpic-cntative in Congress, voted lor the
Stanton Force Bill, ate absolutely false. In
stead of supporting it he is the eh ef opponent
j of the measure, ihc telegraph of late lias'
become a mere tell tale concern—wholly uu-,
reliable—and people should place confidence
in no despatch until confirmed by some re.ia
ble authority. We could not at first believe
that Mr. Etheridge would he so untrue to the
South as to enible the lawless abolitionists—
who resj eets neither the laws of God nor the
Constitution of their country—to inaugurate ;
a civil war—a war of extermination—which
must inevitably prove the destruction of the
nation. Cocrc.oii is but a declaration of war.
and hanging would he a death too honorable
for cither those in the North who deny the j
South liberal coucc-^oiis and thus imperil all
or thosep>r sc disuniouists. who in order to
unite the slave States, are using every means
to bring on a civil war. Mr. Etheridge is an ,
| able man, and ;hi honest man, and wc are
gratified to know that the charge is utterly

Tort Sumter Fired into.—The Charles
ton-Courier of Saturday says: *• 'i he -firing
heard between seven and eight Friday morn
mg, was from the battery known as'Stevcns’
Iron Battery, on Morris’island. The troops,
* with Major Stevens in command, were cn
: gaged in practicing at the gnus with blank
cartridges. Several gentlemen, who were
sj eetators, after the firing of one of the guns,
observed a ball to strike near the gate or door
of Fort Sumter. Major Stevens was apprised
of the fact, and immediately went to Fort
Sumter under a white flag, and informed Ma
jor Anderson that the shot was purely acci
dental. No one was aware that any of the
guns were shotted. The ball struck the
granite on the wharf, in front of the ga‘c,
leaving a white streak in its passage, and tell
in the water toward the city. '1 he easements
of Fort Sumter were not opened at the time,
as has been reported. '1 hey were opened
two hours afterwards, merely for the purpose
of ventilation, and not with any hostile
intent.”
Kentucky Looming Up. — Kentucky
seems to he prominently on the carpet just
now, as it has given birth to many of the
characters figuring in the second American
revolution. President Davis was born in Todd
county. Ktjptucky, in 1 XUS. Lincoln was
born in Harden county, in the year 18u9.
Yicc-l*resid< nt Breckinridge was born in Fay
ette county, in 1821. Senator Crittenden
was born in Woodland county, in 17x<>. Jas.
Guthrie, the chairman on compromise resolu
tions in the l’eace Conference, was born in
Nelson county, in 1795. Joseph Holt, the
late Secretary of War, is a native of Breck
inridge county. Major Anderson was born in
Kentucky, in 1> >5. Gen. Harney <is also a
Kentuckian, and Cassius Clay, both of whom
arc somewhat connected with the current
crisis.

Louisiana State Convention.—The
Louisiana State Convention, on the 8th in
stant—in secret session, transferred to the
Confederated States five hundred and thirty
six thousand dollars, the sum of collection
from customs at this port, and of bullion in
the mint at iLL city.
WHIG PRINCIPLES.
Time, the test of all things, lias placed the
stamp of truth upon another of the principles
for which the old Whig party was condemned
and villified. 'Ilie Missouri Compromise, the
repeal of which the Whigs opposed, and for
regretting which Mr. Fillmore was defeated,
has been sanctioned again by some of the
very men most active in procuring its repeal.
They are now willing to acknowledge that
Mr. Fillmore's assertion was true—that the
repeal has proved a *■ 1’andoui's box,” full ol
evil to the country. We fear that the box
lias lemained open so long that not even hope
remains. The destruction of that Compro
mise has done its work of evil, and there is
little hope that its restoration, proposed by
the 1 eace Congress, will repair the calamity.
It is always easier and more popular to de
stroy than to reconstruct.
A tariff for revenue with incidental protec
tion, was another Whig principle. The De
mocracy of the North have, by their acts, fully
reeogn.zcd the justice and expediency of such
a measure, and in our new Confederacy we
have adopted precisely such a tariff. True,
“f.ce trade” has sti 1 its aduii ers here, but
we seem to be just as far from it as we were
thirty years ago—the necessities of the Con
federacy will always stand in the way. So
far from having tree trade, trade is more
shackled than ever—we have not only import
but export duties, and we have likewise the
dictum of Dicmier Mr. Toombs, that any re
duct on of the Uu to 1 States tariff would be lu. -
wise iu the last degree.” A sound paper cur
rency, national and current everywhere in the
county, was another Whig principle. North
and South, all parties have given up the idea
of an exclusively nictalic currency, and pro
pose now to issue government pruui.scs to pay
in small sums, such as mnv serve in as cur
rency m many transactions. 1 lie only differ
ence between tli.s Democratic and the old
\\ hig idea is, that the new rag money is not
based on specie, nor on demand convertible
into coin. '1 lie cry of •' hard money” is no
more heard in the laid, unless the words sig
nify that money is a great deal Itunhr to get.
We begin to think that great credit ought
to be given to those Whigs, who tinding their
party likely to remain in a hoj eless minority,
and their chance of office tics] crate, scattered
Whiggcry to the winds, and having joined
the i euiocratie party, demolished that too.
If they do blow up every organization they
uiii.c with, they at le ist mnoeulate the frag
ments with the.r old Whig ideas, and for the
conversion to correct principles they have
worked iu Temocracv. they deserve the thanks
of both cn Is of the country. We look with
mote cuutideucc to the tut lire of our new
Confederacy since we tiud the old \\ hig ele
ment so very influential in it, and we encour
age them to inject as much of their old prin
ciples into our new (Jovciiinient as they suc
ceeded in doing into the national Democratic
juirtv. They are ten.lie bomb shells to have
in any organization, but let us hope they will
