R. <J. New ton and Judge E- H. English
! of Little Rock, being called lor to ad
dress the meeting, responded at some
length in an able and eloquent manner,
denouncing the Constitution submitted
to the people by the late Constit utional
i Convention so-called, as anti-republi
i can, proscriptive, and destructive of
the liberties of the people of the Slate
of Arkansas. Judge English conclud
ed his remarks by submitting the fol
lowing resolution: “lie it resolved by
the white ineu of Prairie county, as
sembled at the Court House, Feb. 17tli
L18G8, claiming still to have left to them
freedom of speech and opinion as to
public measures; that we with one
1 voice repudiate, and refuse to ratify the
infamous document submitted to the
! people of the State, by the body ol men
styling themselves a Convention, which
■ recently assembled at Little Rock.”
This resolution was uuanimously
adopted. Hon. K. 8. Gantt then come

forcible manner, give an account of his
actions in the so-called Constitution
Convention.

For the Pes Arc Citizen.]
Hrownsvii.le, Feb. 1t*, ISOS.
To the Democracy of Prairie
County.
The Mas* M feting hold at Browns
ville on the 17;h hist., in view of the
threatening and dangerous aspect of
the political affairs of the country, and
the near approach of-the flection,'
through the instrumentality of which
the party in power seek to fasten upon
the country a policy which will con
summate the ruin now so nearly com
plete ; thought proper to appoint a (Vn
tral Committee for the county, whose
duty it should be to aid and solicit the
organization of . Democrat ic Clubs in
each toWnshlp in the county, in the
hope that all our citizen# will become
fully aroused to the consciousness of
their duty to their kindled ratio and
country, and march with unshaken flrtii
ne«e to the polls and vote against negro
rule. The Committee in discharge of
the duty assigned them, prg-e upaixthc
people of tin4 county to proceed afrthce
With the organization of Delttocritic
Clubs in each township; the duty of
which Club, when otlee formed, will
be to encourage its own members and
other citizens if 'the county to do their
duty, and inspire all with a determina
tion to conic to the palls on the day of j
election and vote against the proposed j
Constitution. If a man is sick, the ne
cessity of the ea-e will make If proper
that ho should be hauled to the elec
tion. If any one is unable to Jri't to
the election, the Democratic Club |
i should see that lie has ample assistan'ce
to get there. The Uidiealt,.have ailopt
j ed the hitherto unheard of expedient
I ofeondneting the election at two boxes
; at the same time ; you should be Sul-c
j to vote at the Military bog, and vote
against the Constitution ; you cannot
i vote at. the other box, and for otllcevs,
; without degrading yourself, and taking
: an oath that requires :it once a surrend
er of every principle of self respect and
; manhood. At tlie Military box you
vote under the old reglstration—at tlie
State box you accept the'civil and po
litical equality of the negro, and along
with this, miscegenation, lie certain
to write upon your ticket the w<«rd«
“Against (.’onWnfioit,”and rhyiVd'c'posr
it that ticket in tin: Military box. The
; Central Committee take this occasion
to remind you that the registration list
will be re-opened at Brownsville on the
28th inst., and will remain open for
live days only, at which time and pjnc.t
all those entitled to register under the
‘Misconstruction Acts,” and who have
not registered will lie permitted to do
! so, and should not fail to rcgi-Ier,
I Those who are now twenty-one years
j of age, hut who were not of age when
the registration was had before, aiul
those who had not at the time of flic
j former registration been citizens id' tlie
: State a sufficient length of time to per
i mit them to register, will now, if twen
1 ty-otic years of age, and have complet
I ed their citizenship of six months, be
i permitted to register. All wltb can
should qualify themselves for voting',
and vote against the proposed Cmtstf
i tutioil at the election hold on tlie Uitli
inst. If there should be carelessness
manifested in registering or in voting,
tlie result will bo that we will loose
many votes which ought to be given
against tlie Constitution, and every
vote not polled which sbouidtilive been
polled against the Constitution is a
gain to Che enemy. The enemy is vig
ilant—the Radicals will have every ne
gro and his brother in the county not
heretofore registered to register, and
will vote them by platoons and com
panies ; already they are distributing
their tickets, and every negro in the
county will have his ticket put into
| his hands before the day of election,
! and will be brought to tlie pools like a
machine to vote that particular ticket
j and no other. Let the white men of
! tlie county do their duty, and by* the
aid of liiui whose assistance is ever itu
.plorod by tlie oppressed, our country
yet may rise from fito ruins which now
environ it.

For the “Oitiien.”]
jtjj- In last weeks “Citizen” there ap
poured a call upon me to become a candi
date for Representative of l'rairie county,
I in answer to which 1 desire to thank my
friends for their manifested preference, and
j beg to decline the honor for the reasons
1 herein set forth. I greatly fear that a
mistaken policy will lead the citizens of
Arkansas into the establishment of a kind
of State Government detrimental to their
best interests, and from whieh it will be
difficult to extricate themselves : 1 mean
j by this that too muoh attention will be
given to the eloetion of Stato and Local
j Officers, and too little to the one great
matter whieh is of vital importance to
j every true citizen of the Sstate, i. e., op
position to the proposed Constitution. The
j time has come wkeu the interests of our
! State, »Dd our individual rights are at
1 stake, and if we would properly defend
I them, every energy should be eoneentrat
i ed, and the will of the people bent to the
j defeat of Radicalism; not in local elec
' tioua which require the Constitutional
| oath, hut by the rejection of the Oonstitu
| tiou they are attempting to thrust upon
us which does not. It in not that 1 con
sider our local elections of small import
ance that I would thus advise, hut that 1
consider them annulled if the Constitu
tion is defeated. Believing thus, and with
higher than political obligations resting
upon me, I am in opposition to this Radi
cal Constitution.
Respectfully,
N B. Gdiii.
-The President has convicted
Grant of double dealing aud falsehood,
