Harper's Ferry insurrection will he hung
On Friday the 16th of December, hit
four codfedcratcrs have also been senten
ced to be buug. It would be well for the
peace and quiet of the wholes country,
that Gov. Wise could get possession of a
few hundred of the aiders and abettors ol
these deluded men—more especially such
as Fred. Douglass, Giddings, Beecher,
. Phillips, Seward and Sumner. It would
be justice "evenly meted out" to hang
them also.

Delegates to tub National Con
vention.—We notice that the Democratic
State Central Committee of Tennessee,
has designated the 18th of January, as
the time for the assembling, at Nashville,
of the Democracy of that State, in Con
vention, to appoint delegates to the Na
tional Convention to be held at Charles
ton, for the nomination of a Presidential
ticket; also, to chooso their electors for
the State at large, and for the transaction
of such other business as may be deemed
necessary.
It is full time that a similar move was
made in Arkansas, and uo time should be
lost in making the necessary arrangements
for the assemblage of a Convention at
Little Rock. Let all parts and portions
of the Slate bo properly represented, and
men selected to represent the Slate in the
National Convention, who are well versed
in the desires and sentiments of the de
mocracy, in reference to the selection of
suitable candidates for President and
Vice President.
The electors for the State at large
should be men of the first order of talents—
known to possess sound political knowl
edge, and willing to cavass the entire
Slate.
We trust the democratic press through
out the State will pruporly urge this mat
ter, in order that a complete and thorough
orgaization may be effected.

Railroads—Railroad Tax, Ere.—
The spirit of improvement has become
a part of the life and being of the great
mass of the people of Arkansas. The
friends of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad
have recently commenced anew hi their
efforts to push forward that stupendous en
terprise—the Memphis and Little Rock
road is dragging along slowly, doubtless,
awaiting favorable legislation at the next
session or our Legislatrue. Our Helena
friends, and the counties contiguous to
Crawley’s Ridge, seem determined to
meet Missouri at the State line, and con
tinue the Iron Mountain Railroad down
the western slope of Crawley’s Ridge to
the Mississippi river at Helena.
While efforts are being made to extend
the liues of railroads East, West and
South of us, our people seem to be “laying
upon their oars’’ really doing nothing
towards consuinating the most profitable
enterprise in the South-west. We have
heretofore urged upon the people of Des
Arc, and the country West of us, the
feasibility of building a road known as
the “ Des Arc, Dardanelle and Fort Smith
Railroad.” True, we failed to obtain a
charter during the last Legislature. This,
however, should not discourage us.—
Another Legislature will, no doubt, not
only give us a liberal charter, but we have
a right to expect the same aicl that may
be given other roods.
The people of the northern portion of
Prairie county have a right to be heard,
and th«iir choice to be respected at the
next Democratic county convention. The
heaviest amount of taxes, and the pre
ponderence of population has long been
made to yield to the “ dictation,” to say
nothing of the “ management,” of the
favored few in Prairie county.
We hear it intimated, that a project is
on foot, to bring into prairie county, some
five or six hundred hands to work on the
line of the Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad, that they are to remain in the
county six months, and that at the end of
that time the question of taxing the coun
ty to aid in building the road is to bo pre
sented, and that with this additional uum
ber of votes, they confidently believe
they can fasten tiie railroad tax on us!—
Even should this unfair advantage be at
tempted, we have only to unite the South
ern and Northern portions of the county,
iu a spirit of common defence, and “no
railroad tax" will again triumph at the
polls.

posed of the “good will” of the Memphis
Evening Ledger to Messrs. Priddy, Hay
and Brower of the Memphis Evening
Argus. This leaves the Argus the only
evening paper in that city. From the
energy exhibited by the “Argus folks”
they will, doubtless, reap a rich reward for
their labors. They are deserving gentle
men—industrious and accomodating.

Scarlet Fever.— The Cincinnati
Times says that scarlet fever is prevailing
to an alarming extent in that city.
■
On ihe 12th inst., a convention of
the democracy of Montgomery county,
Alabama, was held to appoint delegates
to a Stnte convention,’which is to appoint
delegates to the National Convention at
Charleston. Among the resolutions were
' the following:
As the Congress of the United States lias
no power to prohibit or abolish slavery in the
Territories, so neither can if. confer such au
thority upon its creature, o Territorial Lngis
■ lature. It pertains to the peoplo of the Ter
1 rltory to decide for themselves whether slavery
shall exist therein or not, when in the exer
1 cise of rightful authority they form their
: State Constitution, with the view to admis
sion into the Union, and that such decision
becomes of force and effect upon the admis
sion of the Territory as a State.
That since the adoption of tho Cincinnati
platform, the Supreme Court of the United
States has in the Ored Scott case, clearlv de
fined the constitutional rights of tho South,
and that we approve that decision and the
principles set forth in tho opinion of the
Court, and that we think it to be the impera
tive duty of the Charleston Convention to ex
press its approval of said decision and princi
ples, and to declare for protection of slavery
in the Territories by Congress.
Entertaining these views, it is our sacred
duty to support no man for the Presidency of
the United States whose scnliments are op
posed to tho principles contained in the fore
going resolutions.
Thirty seven delegates were appointed
to the State Convention.
0 HXI ANIMATION OF AKOTUEll TeIUUTO
jiy.—The commissioner of Indian affairs,
says the Washington Slates, has re
ceived from New York city a letter,
in which wa3 enclosed several circulars
of various descriptions, all urging the im
portance of on immediate permanent and
final settlement of the aboriginal popula
tion of the United States, and stating
what stpps had already been taken in or
der to secure the accomplishment of such
an object. It is proposed, also, to form a
United Slates aborignal department.—
The Territory designated for this purpose
is the Indian Territory lying west of
Arkansas, and when properly organized,
to bear the tittle of the “Indian Territory
of Neosho." In advocacy of this scheme,
the writer says:
We have enfranchised the anti-Ameri
can Spanish of New Mexico and Califor
nia—we have made Utah with her popu
lation of the refuse of all the world, and
her politico-religious hierarchy, an inte
gral pnrt of the Union to he represented
in Congress,—while the people of the
proposed Neosho, with whom they are not
to be compared in point of fitness for
American citizenship, are made their sub
jects. We nre not,. however, prepared to
advocate the full representation of abori
ginal territories. For the present, it
would be an exceedingly delicate question,
one which may, perhaps, be discussed
with more profit by a future generation;
but we do not think that at least, not only
the South-western Territory—Nesoho—
but some six or eight equally extensive
sections should be organized as aborigi
nal Territories—that Congress should
create an aboriginal department, placed
under a secretary as are other depart
ments of the government. And further,
that at this, “the aboriginal department,”
the several aboriginal Territories should
be annually represented.

A Sight Worth Seeing.—At the
Gibson county (Tennessee) Fair a novel
spectacle was seen. It is thus described
by the Clarion :
“About three o’clock, Mr. Stephen
Meade and his wife entered the ring, fol
lowed by their twelve sons and two daugh
:ers, each on a line gray steed, and in the
srder of their ages. They proceeded
iroundin the ring, while the band struck
jp Hail Columbia, and drew up in front i
}f the executive when the President made |
some verv annronriate remarks, after l
which the mammoth family was vocifer- '
jusly cheered from one side of the grounds :
o the other. We give n brief statement i
jf this family: The old gentleman was !
jorn 1793, and came to this country in i
1819. Mrs. Meade was born in 1S03.
I'lie two were married in 1821. The 1
oldest son is thirty-six years old, and the i
youngest fourteen. The oldest daughter '
s nineteen, and the yougest seventeen. '
Eleven are married, and have twenty-two t
children. The fourteen children of Mr. t
Meade were all horn in Gibson county, '
tod all now live here but one, and are the 1
jest of citizens. None of the family have '
lied, and all now look hale and hearty.” t

The Position of the Kentucky De- 1
uocracy . — There lias been for some ’
ime a systematic attempt to misrepresent 1
.he sentiments of the Democracy of Ken- r
ucky. An effort has been made to pro- t
luce abroad the impression that Douglas v
ias considerable strength in this Stute, a
md that his dogma of squatter sovereign- t
v is endorsed by the Kentucky Democ- d
•acy. Primary meetings of the Democ- t
•acy have already been held in twenty- v
seven counties. In these meetings, with ci
scarcely an exception, resolutions have r
jeen adopted endorsing the Admiuistra- t
ion of Mr. Buchanan; a majority of the t
sounties have recommended Jas. Gutherie e
"or the Presidency, and not a single coun- t
y in the State has passed resolutions in I
favor of Judge Douglas, or approving his u
heresy of squatter sovereignty.
That there may be no misapprehension
as to the position of the Democracy of 1
ibis State, we publish below the resolu- i
lions adopted at the county meeting in re- r
gard to the doctrine of squatter sovereign- 1
ly. Every county which has spoken at a
all on the subject has declared in favor of n
the Dred Scott decision, and against the t
heresy of “unfriendly legislation.”—[Lou- c
isville Courier. r
Col Lynn Boyd has returned to 1
Paducah from the South, without benefit- €
:ing his health, and no hope is entertain- 0
jd of his recovery.—[lb. c

Fair at Victoria, Texas.—From a l
private letter we learn that the people of a
Victoria county, Texas, held their annual a
h mr on the 3d, 4th, and 5th instant, at ^
the capital of the county. The exhibition f
is highly spoken of, was largely attended,
and closed without accident or ill feeling. <
There was a great rivalry for the silver s
cup among the ladies, which was awarded b
to a blooming miss for being, the judges (
said, the best equestrian in the ring. We
should he led to believe that thfc Victoria
Indies were very industrios, from the
great quantity of needle-work said to
have been brought forward for inspection.
The horses, cattle, sheep, swine, etc., on
exhibition, are spoken of aS far superior
to anything anticipated—at once placing
Victoria county among the foremost in
the State as a grower of blooded stock.—

The Charleston Convention.
The following article from the Memphis
Avalanche expresses our sentiments in re
ference to the Charleston Convention :
With a single exception, the Presiden
tial candidates of the Democratic party
for the Inst seven terms have been from
the Free States. Under such circumstan
ces, the right of the Slave States to pre
sent the next candidate, is too clear to be
disputed. We believe the Northern De
mocracy are fully willing to concede the
exercise of this right to us; and that
Southern delegates will only have to con
centrate upon some ‘ candidate at the
Charleston Convention, so us unmistakably
to indicate their choice, to induce the
Northern delegates to fall in with and ra
tify it. In the present political condition
of the country, this is an important pre
rag&tive of the Southern Democracy. If
properly used, it insures the selection of a
candidate whose elevation to the Presi
dency will constitute a four year’s guar
antee of the maintenance of all our con
stitutional rights. There is as yet no dan
ger but that the Presidential veto will be
able to prevent agressions by Congress,
even should the Opposition secure a ma
jority iu both branches of the National
Legislature, and it is the duty of the South
to provide this safeguard by securing a
President whose antecedents.constitute an j
issurance that his negative would be
promptly interposed to prevent any preju
dicial interference with Southern institu
tions, We believe the South will have the
power to do this, because we believe the
nomination at Charleston will be tant
amount to an election. How can this dis
jointed Opposition succeed/ It seems pro
bable now that the next fight will be like
the last, mainly sectional. But if, with
ill the factious issues—the Kansas distur
bances; the maudlin excitement created
by Brooks’ deserved chastisement of Sum
:ier, and the attraction of change and
lovelty which in the outset Black Repub
icanism presented to the Northern mind
—if with all these circumstances in its
'avor, sectionalism was ingloriously defeat
?d in 1856, how can it ever expect success
11 calmer times, when reason sways the
uiblic mind. One more defeat will banish
he slight hope it yet clings to of being
ible to grasp the spoils of office by ap
lealing to local prejudices and scheming
reason, and Black Republican sectionalism
vill be abandoned, given over as a bad
peculation, and will become as much a
t'nrnnr.h to its nrpsent sunnnrtera ns Know
^oihingistn is to-day with those who rung
ts paeans four years ago.
Such being the case, let us be discreet.
Ve are not inflexibly tenacious of the'
lOinination of a Southern man, but we
rant a true man. If it be advisable, as
ve believe it is, to select a Northern can
idate, we can indicate several in whom
be South have the fullest confidence and
vliose nomination would be entirely satis
tictory but we would have the South, as
ve believe it is her right, make the selec
ion. Gen. Jo. Lane, of Oregon, Gen.
fierce, Dickinson and Seymour, of New
’ork, President Buchanan, Secretary
'oucey, Mr. Dallas—in fact, any true
fational man will do, and there tire so
tany of these worthies in the ranks of
le Democracy North that it is almost in
idious to mention individuals among them,
nd we would not have done so save that
le above list are made prominent by their
evotion to the Constitution and firm main- •
fnance of the rights of the South. But i
le want no Douglas to make war upon
ur Constitutional privileges—and who is
ow opposing the extension of our insti- ,
ttions—but a Southern mau to protect
lem, if, after due consideration a South*
rn nomination shall commend itself to
le judgment ol the Convention; if not, a
lorthern man selected by the South and
poa whom the South can depend.

The London correspondent of the
loston Post speaks as follows of the Great '
'astern: The Great Eastern has llutn- i
mxed! The leading journals record its
rial trip as “only a partial success.” We :
II know what that means. She rolls like '
porpoise, or a log canoe, the decks leak, .
le iron plates don't fit, the decorations
rumble and disappear, and—the worst 1
smains behind—she can only go a little
lore than half the speed that was expect
d of her! The very best that can be got t
ut of her under the most favorable cir- 1
umstances of wind, water and coal, is
hirteen miles an hour. So say some f
nowing engineers who were on board,
nd who wished and hoped the most favor
ble result. There is no disguising it. 1

house door in the town of Brownsville, on the
first MiUsday in Jairuary. I860,
the following lands, to-wit: The S E quarter,
the N E quarter, and the W half of the S W
quarter of section nine; also, the estate in
terest in lots Nos. 1, 2, 7, 11, and 14, of the
sixteenth section—all in township one north,
range eight west; said lands are situated six
miles south of Bronwsville and 21 miles south
of the railroad which is now in the course of
construction. The principal portion of the
lands are first class timbered land, the balance
high, rolling prairie. There is no tract of land
in the Prairie country that combines more ad
vantages for a stock farm, as it is convenient
to the finest winter and summer range. There
is about sixty acres of cleared land on the
premises, and a good double log house, and
other necessary out-buildings. Persons de
siring any information in relation to said land
I would refer them to Judge Reynolds, at Ham
ilton, Ark., or to I. C. Hicks of Brownsville.
Terms of sale, one-third cash in hand, the
balance on a 12 months’ credit, &c.

THE GREAT GRAND DISCOVERY:
R. R. R.
T> ADWAY'S Regulating Pills.—
Dr. Radway & Co. have recently discover
ed a method for extracting from roots, herbs,
plants ami gums, a nutritious extract of such
wonderful nourishing power — which they
have combined with Railway’s Regulating
l-'Uls—toac six ot uiese rms wm supply tne
blood with the same amount of nutrition as
one ounce of ordinary bread; so thjt, while *
the system is undergoing a thoi ough physicing,
and regulating process, it daily becomes
strengthened.
Persons afflicted with Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia. Heart Diseases. Fullness of Blood
and all Females who are subject to Irregulari
ties, Hysteria, &c., are particularly recom
mended to use these Pills. They are pleasant
to take—elegantly coated with gum—free
from taste, and will not gripe, sicken or weak*
en the system, or leave tire bowels costive.
Mothers nursing should likewise take one or
two of these Pills once or twiee per week.
They will not only keep your system healthy
and regular, but will protect your infants 1
against cramp and pains in the stomach, and ’■>
insure not only a healthy child, but will in
vest every child, thus suckled, with a sweet
disposition.
II AD WAY’S REGULATING PILLS
Regulate each arid every organ of the system,
and correct all derangement of the Liver,
Bowels, Stomach, Heart and Kidneys.
THEY CURE
Costiveness, Indigestion,
Heart-Burn, Dyspepsia,
Biliiousness, Constipation,
Dropsy, Head-ache,
Palpitation Congestion,
of the Heart, &.c., &c,, &c.
They are entirely vegetable and harmless;
an infant at the breast can take them with
safety, and persons who are subject to fits of
Apoplexy, Epileptic. Heart Diseases, &c.,
should always keep a box on hand.
Price 25 cents. Ask for Rad way’s Regula
tors, or Regulating Pills. [2]
