the convention question.
We have heard repeated allusions to
the alienee of the “Citizen” concerning
a convention when almost every paper
in the 8tate has committed itself either
for or against the measure. In order
to satisfy those who wish to know
our position touching this question,
w e have to say, that with the lights of
the present before us, we can sec no
possible good resulting from action in
thiB matter. To oppose a convention
will bring ns no reward cither individ
ually or nationally, it will not change
the determination of the radical party,
nor will it effect in the least degree
their policy—convention or no con
vention—the radical party so long as
it retains power, will contend for it*
own advancement, making the restor
ation of the Union a secondary consid
eration. Jt is their, policy to ride
roughly over every thing that stands
in opposition to tbcoi and establish
their own supremacy, even though it
bo at the expense of half the nation.
Hence, to oppose them at this trials Is
as if we tried to check the current of
a mighty stream with a straw. On the
ether hand, nothing can be gained by
advocating a convention no guarantee
can bo given that the deliberations of
any body of men will be respected, or
their determinations enforced. How
Arkansas or any wther State can in
this way be brought into the Union we
ceunot see. By what authority is the
government of Arkauens blotted out of
existence, when three years ago it was
recognized as loyal by Mr. Lincoln.
During the whole war there was in
Virginia a Government recognized a*
legitimate by the United States and
zupported by the Supreme court, what
possible strength can convention add
to these governments? The govern
ment of Louisiana was legal in the eyes
of the congress of *64, is a convintion
needed to make it respectable in’67?
The truth it the radical party operate
for power, they, in ’64 contended, that
to save the Union was their chief end
they have had their own way and the
Union is not preserved but worse
lirntnn tftpr tvn vpnrs and a half of
peace than when the cry of war was
hashed throughout the whole nation.
From these facts, we say, the better
policy for Arkansas is to let this thing
alone and wait. The political sky is
no where clear—significant changes
have been made—others arc brewing.
A new party may soon take the reigns
of government whether for the bettor
wo cannot tell, but let us hold our
selves in check, neither aiding, for this
we can not do ou principle, nor op
sions, if any slumber, and make their
rule nioro oppressive to the people and
grievous to the nation.
AMNESTY PBOCLAMATION.
We have lately seen much complaint
of the President and his course of ac
tion. Until recently the opinion had
obtained that the Executive had yield
ed to the foroo of Radicalism and con
cluded to oppose its schemes no moro.
But recently things have put on a dif
ferent dress, and the old iron-hearted
Chief Magistrate is on the offensive,
llis last act, the putting forth of the
amnesty proclamation, has created
much stir amongst the truly loyal. It
was a blow administered with force,
and the line of action which the Radi
cals will pursue to consequence of it is
difficult to conjecture. They have
staked too much and are far too violent
to weigh this step carefully, and are
very likely to make a big toss when
they reassemble at Washington. Some
of Yheir major minds have already de
nied the effect of the President s au
thority in the premises; andasanvop
position to the darling schemes of the
ftvorite party is high treason in their
eyes, we may expect to hear much talk
about impeachment when Congress
meets next winter. We do net think
Mr. Johnson’s constitutional right at
all doubtful, but that he has done just
what Lincoln would have done long
ago had he lived. The President has
before pardoned a number of persons,
with the sanction of some of the Radi
cal oracles, and the same right that jus
tifies the pardon of one man justifies
... . . • iwl _ n_if_1 - — . ..
UUB [iruudiuduuii. *
fret and fume over thia “stunning ’
document, but the Constitution and
the people of the Northern States will
sustain the President In his course. Jt
Is certainly to be regretted that there
was so much tardiness displayed in this
matter; that because of delay the gulf
of separation between the two sections
haf%ideued, and the Radicals, with
the President's silence as an influence,
have diafranchised iu a large degree
the whites, that through the ascendan
cy of the negro the balance of power
might be thrown into their hands.
This proclamation laaprovision against
many dangers which threatened us,
and may, perhaps, shield the nation
from that disgrace which must have
been the inevitable result of an ex
treme Radical course.
beidgS
Our people have loug Wen halting
between two opinions-—whether they
should stand still and wait for natural
advantages and position to build up
our towu, or set themselves to work
for the accoraplUbinout of this end.
But now they have become wiser and
determined to bring euergy and labur
to the help of nature, and make Du
Arc what every good citizcu thinks it
will be, a city. A few weeks ago our
merchants subscribed liberally to open
up and bridge the road between this
point and Cotton Plant, and the work
is now progressing so that this fall we
wilt have a good road leading into Des
Aro from this rich and well spttled
country. More recently asubs-rlpMon
h»9 been takeu up for Iho purpose of j
bridging Bayou Des Arc. Tbcccw-j
niissioners appointed by the stock- j
holders have selected a point near
Brushy Ford, ah at abt milca from
Des Are, as tba moat desirable location
for this bridge, and will to-day let the
contract for its building to the lowest
bidder. Thle bridge will be very little
off a direct line between Searcy and
Des Arc. and will give us easy connec
tion with one of the richest sections of
country in this portion of the State. It
is truly gratifying to see our merchants
and business men awakening to their
interest, and lending encouragement
to inch enterprises as will certainly
conduce so much to the growth of our
town.
AN AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
The citizens of Prairie county have
determined to have an agricultural Fair
in October, and all honor to them for
it. Nothing advances the interests of
hociety or so conduces to the growth
of a country a« the encouragement of
agriculture. The time is now when
this science should become to all a
study, aud So this cud societies should
be organized in every county and all
possible encouragement given them.
The Prairie county society have select
ed Bet Arc as the point at which the
Fair shall be held this Fail, this place
having subscribed most liberally to
the enterprise ae will be seen from the
proceedings of the last meeting. It is
true a magnificent display cannot be
expected as the time is two short for
much preparation. But still a good
and profitable entertainment can be
had if the people will enter into it with
the proper spirit. It is to be hoped the
citizens of Prairie county will take
hold of this enterprise with a good will
and this year lay the foundation for the
permanent establishment of au iastitn
tioh that will so greatly benefit the
people and improve the country.

Human Nature.
The following characters which were
portrayed by a correspondent of the
Metropolitan Record, from Mississippi,
we clip from the Memphis Appeal of
the 21st instant, and it "fills the bill"
so exceedingly well, and is equally ap
! plica’ols tc thU State, that we give it
a place in our columns. If wo arc not
very much mistaken, we recoguizc
these peculiar characteristics in some
of the Arkansas “so called,” who were
as fierce as a “bull terrier" in their pro
testations against anything like sympa
thy for Sambo, ere now remarkably
affectionate toward their “unbleached”
friends. The writer says:
“Still another radical speech maker
i irufi nf wlml \imk Lnnn n nw »
I guerilla company. This gentleman,
j we are informed, takes great pleasure
; in assuring the freedmen “that lie did
not serve in the army to perpetuate
their bondage, aud that he uid the
union cause no harm whatever.” This
we can readily believe, so far as the
spilling of blood was concerned; but
wciMtfe a distinct recollection that the
gentleman and his band were very sue
the fe'nnessee border from union citi
zens, aud that they sold the same very
cheap to the rebels in this vicinity.
Another—and the last picture which
wo shall at present portray—is of a
man who urgees “that no race of peo
ple on earth is so much deserving of
our friendship, kindness, confidence
and esteem as the negroes.” Now this
last gentleman is universally popular
with the colored friends, and we have
no doubt that when engaged with them
in private social conversation, he ex
pressed much more than in public, thus
pleasantly paving the way not only to
political, but to social equality also.
The wonder is that this gentleman, be
ing a large slave-owuer before the war,
and racreover addicted to the habit of
iriving them “the dovil” pretty fre
quently, did not sooner ascertain that
they deserved his “kindness aud sym
pathy.” VV'i'ten his slightest comma'nds
were to his slaves law, strictly enforced
by the inexorable lash, and from which
there was no appeal, where was his
friendship, his esteem, his sympathy ?
But, presto! change. By the hocus
pocus tricks of the war, his slaves have
become freedmen, and if he does strike
one, the insulted darkey has the right
to return blow for blow; thus he sud
denly perceives the necessity of sym
pathy, of esteeqn, and tenders his hand,
and with it his confidence and friend
ship."
What They Fought For and What
They Have Got.
No braver soldier than General W.
W. U. Davis went forth as a volunteer
from Pennsylvania. He was one of
the very first to take up arms, and the
many wounds he received abundantly
attest bis bravery. In the following
article from bis paper, the Doyleatown
(Pennsylvania) Democrat he tells his
surviving comrade what they fought
for, and shows them what they got.—
Let every soldier read it;
Never in the world were a people
i_J_»_j .a __i . as t .i I
»*»vi v iivvvi i vm Mil<| oniiiuisu innii V/UI ?
in the result of the late unfortunate
civil war. We fought for one thing
a*u have got something else. When
the war was begun the Government
made such solemn assurances that it
was only to be waged to restore the
Constitution and preserve the Union
of their hither*, which had conferred
so many blessings on them and their
childreu, made them willing to risk
everything for its preservation. When
the cry was raised that the South had
unjustly taken up arms to break up the
Union and destroy the Constitution,
our people, almost to a man, rose up to
resist. The occasion struck deep into
the great patriotic heart of the North,
and the whole country gave up her
men and means. The Union and the
Constitntion were the great battle cry,
which resounded from the lakes to the
Potomac, and from the St. John's to
the Pacific. No one thought or talked
Of anything else—end the soldier* had
no intention of fighting for anything
eUe. For the Union, fathers and moth
ers gave up their sons, sisters their
brother*, and sweethearts their lovers.
They blessed them when they went to
tlie field, aud offered them a willing
sacrifice on the altar of their country.
What else could they have done l'or'a
cause so sacred ? Por the Union men
of all degrees submitted to the mo»t
onerous taxes and willingly gave of
their abundant or scanty store, because
they deemed it would advance the
great cause anil 1msteu the return ot
peace, prosperity aud a united country.
It is useless for us to call the attention
of our readers to the sacrifices made by
the North. We need only to point to
the half million of our sons and broth
ers slain in battle or maimed for life,
and the three thousand millions of dol
lar? spoilt of the wealth of tl>» rseopTe,
to e»y nothing of the agouv and mourn
ing all over ihe laud. Here is the
price we paid for a restored Union.—
Have we got what wo fought, and bled
and safltowd for? If wo bare, where
la the Union that woe to bo made whole,
and tha Constilntion that waa to be re
stored? Have we got them? Alas,
no I The one is hopelessly shattered,
and the other honly known by the fbw
fragments that '‘•licit in the kindness of
some Senator*.” Per all the blood and
treasure we expended we have only the
negro to show. Wc have got him at
an enormous price, to be fed out of the
public treasury and voted by the Bu
reau. lie is to be made the ruler of
the country, and the war has resulted
in establishing eleven negro States in
the South. In these States there is not
a vestige of republican government
left. Military despotism prevails eve
ry where, and neither Constitution nor
laws protects the people from the ty
ranny of tlie despots thnt rule over
them. The country could not have
been in a worse condition if the Con
federacy had been established. While
we fought to make the foundations of
constitutional liberty more enduring,
we sec the edifice polled down and the
corner stones digged up. The negro
with the ballot ill his bands is the only
remedy offered to the American peo
ple to cure the serious ills that afflict
the body politic. Talk of taxes, and wc
reeeive the answer of “universal suf
frage.” Complain of despotism and
we are told “equality before the law,”
will set all things right. Ask for a
restoration of the Union and the Con
stitution, and we we told to wait until
the negro is secured in his rights.
Oh. oppressed, and outraged, and
tax-ridden people, how long will yon
submit to this state of things? Will
you always be willing to receive a
stone for’ the bread that belongs to
you ? When will you demand a fulfill
ment of the terms of the war bond?
If not paid soon let us sue it out in the
great tribunal where such claims are
adjudicated.
tQr We find the following article in
the Little Rock Gacctte of the 18tli
inst., which we publish for the benefit
of those who desire choice fruit trees.
Mr. Morrow A Son Are enterprising
gentlemen, live among us and ought,
therefore, to be patronized, in prefer
ence to going abroad.

very large—indeed, wc have one of the
species thnt weighs near a pound and
a quarter. The Morrow Seedling also
grows to large size; those we have are

There is no locality that can produce

their cultivation become more general.

To the C otton Planter* or West
Tennessee, ilubuma. Missis*
alppl and Arkansas:
Th« undersigned respectfs;I, tenders bis
services ns Agent for tbs ssle of your cotton
■a this ail;, wad A>r the purchase of your sup
plies The uufortunste termination of the
late war, which so materially affected the bast
interests of the South, has also bad its effect
upon the Commission Business of this city,
as transacted between planter and merchant.
You doubtless well remember with what per
tinacity (previous to tbs war), amounting in
some instance* to aunoyance, you were soli
cited for your lmsine** at the rate of fifty
cents per bale ceutniission. free of draysge,
and stored for twelve months without charge
Then (as will be again) the producer was the
ruling clement, and high rents, rich landlords
and merchants were llic result of planters'
patronage. No people or occupation have
been mon seriously prostrated than planters
and planting, and none so much deserve t»
he fostered and aided in their unfortunate
changed condition. How that aid so much
needed has been meted out you I opine loo
well know. Onerous government taxes in
general, and a special tax upon your leading
production, Cotton, large profits you have hail
to pay upoa supplies furnished, commissions
on sales ranging from 50 to $•"> per balo,
monthly storage at exorbitant prices and
other expenses, os per reference to your ac
count sales, as a sum tstal will leave yon but
little if auything upon which to rebuild your
shattered fsrtnnvs, or to compete with the •
new order of affairs—free labor. When I
withdrew from the Cotton and Commission
Business in 18(10, private reasons then led me
to helievc that I would never engage in it
again. The solicitation* of many friends that
were forme* patron*, and a desire to promote
the interest of the planting community. *o
far as my feeble efforts - can do so. and the
apparent want of gratitude exhibited to a
community that in times past tended so ma
terially to tboprosperit^ of Memphis and 1:3
mercnniile community, has determined me
again to offer my services in the capacity as
siaieu. lue reuuum »«««.* «*«*.
United Stales and short sudplics in the hands
of New England manufacturers has caused
some advauoe itt prices from tlio late depres
sion, hence curly sales may be prudent and
remunerative; such was the case the paet two
seasons, and many planters have had cause to
regret the acting upon the too common prac
tice of holding ami drawing upon llicir cot
tons. ! would advise no planter to send for
ward his cottoH unless ho wished it sold upon
the first acliva market. It can b" held at
home much cheaper than in Memphis. My
charges for eelling*otton will be One Polls
per .bale. Insnvances effected in all cases if
not instructed to the contrary. Shall bny
i your supplies front wholesale houses giving
yon the benefit of same. In short, by strict
attention to all the departments of our busi
ness, I hope to merit a large share of ; air.n
age. Very resneclfullr.
