1.00H AHEAD.
The indications from every quarter of this
tft-tet*, and in fact from almost every State up
der tnilltaity Jule, aro, that the people artf*M
awakening to «n underetaudlng of their Vue
position, ami to a correct knowledge of the
evil intentions of the Radical party. Look
ing calmly into the purposes of the Radical
Congress, it is easily seen that they have been
gradually maturing plans by which, not only
the abolition of slavery should be accomp
lished, but positive negro supremacy estab
lished. In addition to this, taxes are meas
ured out uptfn us, and authority usurped un
til that which was once a government, is now
but a mockery. Upon this subject, a north
era contemporary says: “to such ends have
this party gbne that the Supreme Court, the
prbhr ballwnriv bf the Constitution and the
lsws under It, is threatened with <te«truefion.
That the Executive department has been
stripped gradually of its rights and preroga
t ve, until the desire of,- the party in power
has almost become the law of the country.
And yet all these outrages do not appear to
have satisfied this faction. It is not enough
that they have destroyed the great monu- ,
lueuti and guards of civil liberty won in the !
strifes of six hundred years, and bequeathed
to u, by our Revolutionary sires, the lafdiets [
of whose shoes these individuals would be un
worthy to unloose; it is not enough that they i
have deleted the oaths which they took to i
obey and support the Constitution, that they j
have inaugurated a grievous military despot
ism over the South and enforced odious nc- j
gro governments over millions of white men.
They must continue to heap oppressive im- |
posts and taxes upon the people, waste the (
public appropriations, and injure the great
I industrial interests of the hind in order to
fatten capitalists, money changers, and par
asites. The exhausted and distressed eondi '
lion of tho country, in consequence of the
Mind, blundering ami vicious legislation :
which has succeeded the devastation of civil
v %, . is now fully admitted and felt by all,
Still impoverished as wo are in their blind •
fanaticism, this same party will heap upon
us heavier taxes, in order that the negro ren
dered worthless to himself and a curse to tho
country, may be supported. Nay, be more
than supported, may be elevated to an equal
ity with the white man and clothed with priv
ileges that are denied the b**«t men of the
country. Shall these things be mid we raise 1
not our voice against them, “forbid it Al- I
mighty God.*’ People of Arkansas, let us be j
up hud doing; much has been thwort from us
but the Constitution is yet left, and upon it !
lei us take a firm stand, uniting our voice }
with air honest men North and South, dare ‘
to claim our righ■* as White men. As true
c>ttzcnS, ax worthy sons fef honored sires, let
ur understand each other and regardless of j
political differences, come together in au*un
alterable opposition to negro suffrage, and as
the pui-p* '-s of Radicalism are unfolded in
State and National policy, let us be ready to
meet it as men, and nut of confusion order
w ill come.
jg. The Democracy of Ohio hold n conven
tion.fit Columbus, on the 8fh in*t., and nomi
nated Geo. II. Pendleton, as ((bio’s choice,
for President. Mr. Pendleton being in the
city, a committee was appointed to wait upon
him and request his presence. Ho complied
and taking the stand said:
| Mb, Pbksidknt and Gentlemen ok the
Convention;—Language fails me to express
tho emotions of my heart at this moment. 1
thunk you tor the high honor you hove done.
I thank you for the approval of my convic
tions. my character anil my conduct; but.
gentlemen, l thank you still more because
this compliment coutcs from the tried, the
; true, and the triumphant Democracy of my
i own native 8tate—a Democracy which, by its
patient and devoted courage, its heroic ef
fort, and its uuswervitig fidelity to sound
principle, has achieved within the last year
an unparalleled success, and, in the short
spaco of five years, has brought us up from a
minority of a hundred thousand to a majori
ty iu the Eft ate.
The issues that wore presented last year
were well worthy of the struggle. They were
to sustain the supremacy of our white race,
and prevent ihe Africanization of tho States
of the Union and the protection of our own
Slate of Ohio from hybridation. They were
to raise from the shouldoo* of a suffering and
over-taxed and oppressed people the burdens
about to be put on them, and to lead them
into a new career of prosperity, and these
same issues are to be settled in the coming
Contest, not only in our own State but in the
whale country. And if the people of Ohio
will do their duty ns they have in the past,
whoever shall he selected as the standard
bearer of the Democracy will have the pleas
ure and honor of placing them in victory nud
power in tho seals of national power.
tpy There are occasions even in it
printer's life, when sunshine tlispcrsos
shadow, and v#e aro penult let} to real
ize that there are pleasures iu which
•we httve a share as well ns those who
know but little of the constant toil tlmt
wears away a printei’s life. Such were
our thoughts on Thursday night, whin
near the hour of midnight our ears
were greeted with strains of delightful
music that floated upon the silent air
iu melting harmony, drowning us in
delicious forgetfulness of the cares ot
life and the toils of the hour. Capt.
Elliot, of the steamer Des Arc, with
his baud of Musicians was serenading
us, aud right glad were we, for we
are of those who feel that “he who lias
no music in his soul nnd is not moved
by the concord of sweet sounds is lit
tor treasons, stratagems and spoils.
I.ong may the gallant Cajituiu live to
walk the dock of the noble lies An
and make as glad the hearts oi his pa
trons with his kindness and .courtesy
as wrruours with the dilighUlil strains
of music with which he greeted us ol

The following order has been pro- 1 ,
mul;.> a ted at New Orleans, Headquarters 5tl I
Military district, .Ian. 1st, 1808:
••( 1 i.nf.ral Ordkr No. 1.— Applications j
liuve been made to these headquarters imply- j
iug tLe existence of )»n arbitrary authority in !
the commntodhig General touching purely
civil controversies One petitiones solicits
this action, another that, and each refers to
Horne special consideration of grace or favor
which he Mippjosci to exist, and which should
influence this department
The number of such applications and the j
waste of time they involve make it necessary J
to declare that the administration of civil ‘
justice appertains to the regular courts. The ]
rights of litigation do not depend upon the!
views of the General; they are to be adjudged j
and settled according to the laws. Arbitrary <
power, suoli as he 1ms been urged to assume,
has no existence here. It is not found in the
laws of Louisiana or Texas, it cannot be de
rived from anv act or acts of Congress, and
lie is restrained by the Constitution and pro
hibited from action in many particulars.
The Major Gcuceal commanding takes this
occasion to repeat that while discharging
judicial functions in civil causes, he can suf
fer no forcible resistance to the execution oi
the process of 111 if courts.
By command, W. N. HANCOCK,

FROM WASHINGTON.
New York, Jan. 20.—The World’;
Washington correspondent, in a per
sonal interview with the Presidcn
yesterday, elicited the following fron
the Executive: That as President o
the United States, bound by oath tc
administer the Government according
to the Constitution, lie had, by defend
inga principle, found himself singu
larly opposed by another branch o
the Governnjpnt, but he had great faitl
U the good KMt of Am people, am'
the manifestations of public sentlmcni
that have recent ensued.
The Itadicals had made Congress f
political monstrosity, having over
leaped all bounds save those of party
and political ambition ; they n6w kee|
on, having by conquest in the South
this yeaf managed to obtain powei
more than equivalent to that lost In tht
North, He then referred to the efl'orl
made to connect him with the assassi
nation plot,JUi(l said tlic leaders of the
move were capable of employing any
measures to get rid of him or slieai
fiwhy his power. The measure of Con
gress, be said, was a revolutionary pro
position to deprive, by act of Congressj
the vested authority of the President
is commandcr-iu-chief, and is a direct
violation of the Constitution.
The bill submitted by Mr. Bingham
issumes the right of Congress to do
sway the President altogether if it
shooses, and makes itsclf’the exo%ntor
is well as legislator of the Govern
ment. The assumption is arrogant
langcrous and destructive. If there
■ad been a liberal, generous, law aimi
ng nehtfinent predominant in the
Sfortli, by tiiis time the South would
ilmost have been upon its legs again,
l’lie vanity of the negroes would not
lave been so fed to bursting that labor,
h,hm> fnv llmir M ll I> II! fl
>c neglected and shirked, aua fit last
here would have been no military
lsurpation, but civil governments in
lach Slate : and he was convinced if
ivery District Comthandcr should be
banged to a Department Commander,
vitii Ids duties confined to assisting
be civil authorities and preserving ©r
ler, civil governments would be rap*
dly and peacefully restored. In his
tidgnient, the speedy result ol this
vould be the reorganization of the
vhole country. Hut it appears as if
'ongress is determined not to allow*
his happy consummation. A rev’irf.
ion such as these headlong spirits
leem determined to precipitate may,
f suffered to go on, effect more dnm
iging results than civil war. Hespond
ng to the intimation, he was under
stood to intend to exercise ail the nti
liority vested in him to repeal those
•evolutionary measures.
The President said lie intended to
lo his .duty, as to what that duty may
nvofve it ‘would he premature, he said,
>von to suggest. We will leave special
ucasures for special occasions when
hoy arise. I have confidence in the
food sense of the army, and certainly
I believe in the people; I believe in
die young meu. They will not permit
revolution to be accomplished, even
though It might be necessary for the
people to take the matter into their
awn hands.
