DES ABO, AM., OPT. 13, 1866.
WHAT IS OUR FORM OF GOV
ERNMENT.
For 00 years tlio United States lias
gloried in the name of Republic—ami
livr Republican principles bare been
her boast. Notwithstanding the mighty
breach which four years of unparalleled
war Las made, it is still claimed that she
is republican in form and in principle.
If we stop to enquire wlint is republi
canism, we find it to be that state of
" .government In which the sovereign
! power is vested in representatives elec
ted by the people. Now, if the South
be a part of the govemmeut—and it
surely is, else why is she taxed to bear
the expenses of the government—her
citizen are manifestly, in part, the peo
ple, And as this people have no voice
in the election of representatives, in
which the sovereign power is vested,
the name Republican does not lit, and
cannot, be worn.
Again, we have in Andrew Johnson
a tihief Magistrate, clothed with power,
but it is a coutrollpd, not a sovereign
power, hence wo cannot be called a
monarchy, either absolute or limited.
If we scrutinize closely our form of
government, wc find it to be closely
allied to oligarchy — aristocratic it
would be, if there was found in the
controlling spirits the least particle of
nobility—for certainly, the power, the
supreme power, is now held and cxer
.cised by ns vile and corrupt a set of
men as over made law for any people.
Congress, the representatives of part of
the people, claim the right to legislate
‘for the whole people; In the name of
republicanism they deny the right of
suffrage; and in the name of liberty
they laugh to scorn the claims of a peo
ple who should be free. The desire of
the better part, the thinking, unseWlsli
classes of the whole country, is to see
tu6 government brought back to its old
landmarks; to see republican princi
ples, the principles by which our gov
ernment is ruled—to see the oligarchy
of Sumner, AVadc, Stephens & Co., des
troyed—and the government of our
fathers re-established.
Surely the party now in power care
not for principle; their business' is, to
sacrifice principle, anti till things else
that, pertain to a nation’s honor, for
party power and individual gain.
There is a party North, who have
drawn on the armour to battle for right,
hut who can say they will prevail.—
The struggle will lie great, and upon it
depends the name hv which we must
be known.
AS?3" In many of our exchanges we
notice considerable room is given to
the setting forth of the advantages pos
sessed hv the several towns in the
State. Now we would not he behind
in this matter, but coining to the point
at once, would say Dos Arc, in point ot
increase of population and rapid
growth of commerce has. since the war,
outstripped any town in the State.
Now that the season for imigration ap
proaches, we would cull special atten
tion to tlio fact that we have one of the
most delightfully located towns lit the
State, possessing all possible advanta
ges, and recommending itself l>v its
situation, its society, and its import
ance to all who search for pleasant
homes. In addition, there is : n abun
dance of good fertile land, laying con
venient to our town, that may be pur
chased at reasonable rates by those de
siring to engage in agricultural pur
suits. AVc would sav to all who want a
good home, good society, with all that
innkos life pleasant, visit Dos Arc, by
all means, before settling elsewhere.
NOETHERN^LEOTIONS.
During this week the election in
many of the Northwestern States lias
been held-. As vet we have no returns,
and will dophtlcss be unable for onie
time to get them in full, owing to the
great Political excitement that will ore
vail. We ha ve no means of determin
ing tv hut the srsult will he; hut we
have great hopes that the Democratic
parti’ w ill carry at least the 'Western
•States.. In the Eastern States, tho ma
jorities have been given to the llepub
llfnft p*arty, but with large Democratic
gains.

WHAT OF THE TIMES.
'rhe old ship of State is still out at
»ca; the winds howl, the thunders mut
ter, and the billows heave and break
against her, and the n ew- are restless,
'even unto mutiny. The heavens above
are black with clouds; the sun, moon
and stars are shrouded in gloom ; the
Vessel rocks anil struggles amid the
surging waves, the compass shakes, and
the needle trembles, and refuses to
poise and (mint. The chart, (the con
stitution,) is lost. Amid the din and
. confusion, the watchman exclaims,
what of the times! and the storm coh
oes hack, what of the times ! The pi
lot shouts, breakers ahead, trim the
sails; bo, she veers! Suck is the
starni that betides our voyage, politi
cally. Such the dangers that gather
about ns. Hope of an early calm has
well nigh fled, for this is the Eurocly
dou or east wind ; its source is omi
nous of evil, as of yore. Mariners,
(politicians,) have long dreaded this
tempestuous wind; few pilots can man
age tire old ship when these winds arc
ubre&d on the political sea, and for
years these winds have not slumbered.

there is hope that the vessel will
Weather the storm and gain the port of
safety under the gallant Captain who
'now stands at the helm. To others,
there is but one hope of safety, and
! that is. to hope for no safety. These

: despair, whose motto is. “never give
j up the ship.” The. world is deeply jn
I forested inthe voyage now being made,
( tlie last and best experiment of in m at
freedom and republican government,
is at stake; the glory and lions, of the
new world must culminate, or forever
go down. Then. avIio can idly stand
by, or indifferently look on, while the
conflict deepens and widens. Patriots,
in breathless silence, gaze with intense
interest into the future, to catch a
glimpse of the fearful result. But no
mortal ken can penetrate the gloom
that cuvelops the terminus of the voy
age; a long night of clouds and storm
casts its dark shadows far down into
the coming future, and closes the ave
nues to the revelation of the filings
that, are to be, while the fitful scow! of
darkness broods over the tilings that
shall lie, and mocks our efforts to
know them. Snell is an imperfect pic
ture of our prospects as a people.

WHAT IS TO BE FEARED.
i The New York Independent, which
I is, probably, the most influential ltndi
1 eal journal in the North, said, a few
days ago:
“No leading Kepublicun in Congress means
j to admit, Ibo ten wailing Stales simply on tbe
[adoption of tbo Constitutional Amendment.
These States arc to bo admitted on no condi
tion short of tiio cipial political rights of their
•loyal citizens, without distinction of race, A
reconstruction of the Union on any other ba
sis would be a national dishonor. Until the
rebel States can come back on this basis they
cannot como back at all.”
The Baltimore tJazotte, in comment
ing on this presumptions declaration,
says: “Hundreds of public speakers
luive uttered, and are uttering daily,
I these same sentiments, imt m the taco
] of all this, the radical press here stout lv
| stands upon the ridiculous and hare
; faced assertion that the question of ne
gro suffrage is not before the people.
! Such reckless mendacity deceives only
j those who are predetermined not to
[recognize the truth. No intelligent
man who has watched the current of
events since the war, and has conned
the speeches of the leading Uadical
politicians, both in and out of Congress,
I can fail to read aright the programme
i which the revolutionists of to-day pro
pose to carry out. There was no ex
aggeration in the President's words
| when lie said to the delegation from the
! Cleveland Convention, on Tuesday, "1
j think we are now at the most import
ant crisis of our country's history. If
j Congress should he sustained by largo
| majorities in the coining elect ions, then,
! feeling confident- of being able to over
' ride Ihe President's veto for three years
j to come, the Hadieal faction would
! proceed at once to give practical effect
1 to its policy. Ill that ease it will on
[ large the Freedmon’s Bureau and ex
tend its powers, and will se% that an
adequate military force is placed at its
disposal. The next step will he to
procure in each Southern State what
will he accepted as nil endorsement of
[the Constitutional Amendment. Bo.
j gus Conventions,'like that of Louisi
ana, will he convened, or less than a
! quorum of a packed Legislature, like
that of Tennessee, will ho .assembled to
ratify it. Then Congress will insist
(hut. under the Clause protecting the
; blacks, in the privileges and immuni
ties of citizens, they are entitled to the
elective franchise under the.restrictions
only as are imposed on the whites. In
I the exercise of this “privilege" they
! will be protected by Federal bayonets,
and the ttadicals will kindly furnish all
j the candidates. Oppression ami plun
der will then go hand in hand through
the Southern land, and the downhill of
i the Government- and institutions of our
lathers will he a matter of time only.
With a two-thirds majority in each
House of Congress, a central junto will
undertake to rttic Hie country, and will
invoke, if need he. in vindication of its
i'acts, some new higher law which abro
i gates mere Constitutional provisions
and legislative emu Intents."—[Mcm

To toe Surviving Officers and Soldiers
of “Reynold's Arkansas Brigade.''
Fellow Soldiers:—Tlie cause for
which wo fought is lost—our once Dili* j
mill prosperous country desolated and
laid waste hy war. And overawed by
tiie Federal Government tlie Southern
States have della red tiio Confederate
1 debt null and void, thus leaving many
of us, and of the widows and orphans
of our fallen comrades, in a destitute ;
condition. Those of 11s who are not
disabled need no aid—but tlie disabled,
and the widows and orphans of those j
who fell, do need aid, amt we should I
render it.
The graves of manv who fell are un
marked, and there is not even a record 1
of their names. The true history of!
tlie brigade rests only in tlie memories \
of its surviving members. It is due to !
ourselves and to ttio mcniorv of those!
who fell, that the deeds of the brigade
lie recorded as a part of the history of j
the State they so long and so heroically
represented.
In order to form nil Association or ,
Society, the object of which shall be to
record and preserve the names of all j
who were connected with tlie brigade:
to extend aid to its disabled, ami to ;
the widows and orphans of those who
fell; to gather the materials and write !
its history, and to erect, a suitable!
monument to is dead, a meeting of the i
surviving members of the brigade will i
he held in Little Hock, on Thursday,!
tlie 29th day of November next.
All who were ever members of the
brigade, (as commanders or otherwise.) |
and who were honorably discharged, ]
or transferred, or who Were members
of it at the tlie time of its surrender in j
the Spring of 1805, are requested to,
meet at the time and place appointed.
As all cannot come let those in each |
county delegate one or more of their
11 umber, or some member of the brigade |
to represent them in the meeting.—1

to hear from hy letter, addressed to me
