!!<®u Before auother issue of our paper
shall reach its readers, the doom of the
State will be fixed-rsealed to Radicalism,
or redeemed from its chaias and tyranny.
As we will wot have an opportunity of
again speaking to our patrons and the peo
ple on this subject; we wish to deal with
them in all caudor, and admonish them in
all earnestnese towote against the iniquit
ous document—the censlitution.
They who favor it say it is the best
Constitution Arkansas ever had Let every
man read it, and then say for himself if it
is a constitution at all. It provides that the
next legislature, which will certainly be
Radical, shall inset before the THING be
comes a Constitution, even if accepted by
the people, aud if rejected, all the same;
thus giving us a government without a
Constitution—fur this reason vote against
it. Its provisions are such that none but
Radicals shall hold offices of trust and
emolument—fur this cause reject it. It
requires that you shall pay enormous taxes
for the support of an educational system
for which the negro is to receive the prin
cipal benefit—beeause ol tins oppose it. It
disfranchises the best and wisest men of
the State, enfranchises the negro and qual
ifies him for any place aud position which
good honest intelligent white men cannot
fill—for this spurn it. It gives to the
Cumuii sioners unlimited control of the
ballot box, while ilia instrument itself de
dares it shall be kept secretly and sacred
ly—for this and a multitude of other
causes, don't fail to'oppose it with all your
might. Let old men uud young men be on
Laud on the 13 th of March to vote against
this Constitution, and to persuade your
neighbor to vote against it. Let every
other consideration become subservient to
this-—let the State election alone—lend
your energies entirely to the defeat of the
Constitution—say to your friends if they
have registered, that ten days citizenship
in any precinct entitles them to a vote and
urges upon them to claim It. Remember
well that if you would defeat the 6’onsti
tution you must vote in the Military box—
rumen;ber these things—he prepared for
the struggle, und our State will bo redeem
ed from this foul blot of Radicalism.
IMl'EU'IIMEST.
The resolutions of impeachment our
readers are aware passed the house last
week. Congress is now busy preparing
articles; Butler, Stevens, Boutwcli, Bing
ham, Logan aud others, are the chosen in
struments selected to carry out this last
echenio of Radicalism. The burden of
the President's offence seems to be his re
moval of Stanton. What the consequences
of this high handed proceeding will be.
remains to be seen. Already a lengthy
protest has been presented, but voted down
Be tho consequences what they will, it is
not thought by the Intelligencer of Wash
ington that the charges will be sustained,
and the President himself is sanguine of
aequital.
JijyThe following we take from the
Batesville Times of the 29th of Feb:
Moke Ruffianism.—We are inform
ed that it was rumored that the IIou.
Wm. Byers would deliver a speech at
Flat Rock, iu this couuty, a week or
ten days ngo, and that a number of
radicals went there armed, and pro
claimed that he should not speak if he
should come.
Judge Byers, we nre informed, had
no such appointment. He does not
speak with the view of offending any
one. He dos'res to cultivate pea> e and
good feeling, and to harmonize the dis
cordant elements of society, if possible.
11c desires to address the reason and
judgment of all men, and have them
receive that which is good, and sup
port uud uphold the right, and to con
demn the wrong. He seeks to prevent
his •‘ellow citizens, through prejudice
or passion, from doing that which will
redound to the Injury of the whole
country. He docs nothing but what
he believes to be bis duty. He asks
nothing but what hois willing to ex
tend to all others. These are times
which require every patriot to battle
manfully for the right and the troth,
and it is consoling to the friends of
freedom and our ilown-troddetl consti
tution to know that there are yet men
who have the moral courage to stand
forth boldly in their defence.
We cannot speak too strongly against
the carrying of arms to public political
meetings, and wc hope never to see or
bear of friends of freedom and op
pression taking arms to such a place.
We depend upon the justness of our
cause, upon reason and right. It is
only the coward or those who are eou
scions of being in the wrong,and of the
weakness of their cause, who would
resort to such means to accomplish
their end.

*^*The Dycrsburg Gazette states:

What They Say
In Speaking on Ihc side of the Pres
ident or of Congress, nearly every one
makes free use of “ifs" and “huts,” and
both parties immediately concerned in
the impending great trial are viewed j
with a criticism that is, in a remarka
ble degree, cold and exacting, intensi
fied now by the fact that political par
ties are adjusting their machinery for
the next national election. It is au
thentically stated that the President is
entirely confident of a full acquittal on
the charges to be made in the bill of
indictment.
A Piece of Evidence.
The speech of Judge Lawrence, of
Ohio, on impeachment, furnished one
matter of evidence of some interest and
importance, showing that according to
the testimony of the Postmaster Gen
eral before the Judiciary Committee,
the President had acknowledged the
binding character of the Tenure of Of
fice law upon him, by causing old
blauks for commission., to officers ap
pointed in the civil service, which con
tained the phrase, “You are hereby
commissioued, etc., to hold office dur
ing the pleasure of the President,” to
phrase “to hold your office until re
moved by and with the advice of the
Senate.”
The Bearing'of Impeachment.
The first scenes of the new drama
were solemn, and could hardly fall to
inspire profound anxiety as to the fi
nal result, not so much as to how it
may oilect tho President personally,
the ambitious hopes of Congressmen,
or the machinations of political adven
turers, but as to how it may involve
the destiny of our Republic. In view
ing ail that was there presented, it was
not difficult to trace pninful analogies
between our own national characteris
tics, as presented at least ort the sur
face, and those that have been exhibit
ed under proceeding systems of Re
publican government when they were
on the decline, or on the verge of des
truction.
Ool. Moore on the Impeachment
Committee.
Col. Moore, tho President’s Private
Secretary, was examined by the Im
peachment Committee this evening, as
to whether the President had issued
any orders to the army except through
Gen. Grant's head-quarters. He re
plied that lie knew of none beyond
some inquiries sent to Gen. Howard
relative to tlie number of men employ
ed iu the Preedmcn's Bureau.
Chances of Acquittal.
The Washington correspondent of
the Republican Cincinnati Commercial
Las the following: “The Senate con
sists at present of fifty-three members
—representing twenty-seven States.—
There is a vacancy in llic representa
tion of Maryland, occasioned by the
refusal to admit Mr. Thomas. Mary
land will undoubtedly elect another
Senator in time to sit in the high court
of impeachment—hut mark the predic
tion, the Senate will not receive him
ininiiuliiil i>liv lint, will ,,rr>fpi,w tint suit.
ject to the Judiciary Committee for in-1
veatigation. A majority may do that,
and doubtless will do it, and thus re
duce by oue the strength of the minor
ity ig the high court of impeachment,
it will require thereby thirty-six votes
to convict, or eighteen to acquit the
President, should the court consist of
fifty-three. Making the most liberal
allowance for the Republicans, they
will have forty-two votes. The Dem
ocrats and Conservatives arc : Bayard,
Buckalew, Davis, Doolittle, Dixon,
Hendricks, Johnson, Norton, Patter
son, of Tennessee, Saulsbury and Me-!
Creery, Senator elect from Kentucky, I
who will take his seat in a few days—
XI. A majority of six over the requir
ed two thirds in favor of conviction
should the trial assume a strict party
aspect, as the impeachment did in the
House. Should seven out of the forty
two vote with the minority, the Presi
dent will bo acquitted. If I were to
bo called upon to 11:1111c seven who will
be apt to do this, I should say Fessen
den, who hates Wade and won't vote [
him in the White House if lie can help !
it; Anthony, who is naturally couserr- I
ative and frequently shows courage
enough to vote independent of his par
ty ; Crimes, who doesn't admire Wade,
and lias been opposed to impeacbmeut
all along. There's three. As tor the
four more, I shall not mention names
nor improper motives—but vacaut
judgeships and the like have much to
do with the votes of Senators whose :
official career is about to draw to a ,
close—aud there are fifteen of them in (
that interesting situation. Thomas H. j
Benton is my authority. Senators (
were not above such bargainings in his ! (
day, according to the Thirty Years, (
and are they better now than then ?— |
Besides, didn't a New Hampshire Sen- ,
utor in the last Congress change front
within twenty-four hours on the ques- (
Lion of admitting the President's sou- t
iu-law to his seat, and didn’t the Pres
ideut appoint him United States Judge (
jext day ? Wait aud see and stick a ^
jiu here, if the President be not ac- k
piitted, then there is no purchase in ’
jatroiiage.
Stanton's Treasury Warrants. u
Surprise being expressed at tho f
rreusury Department recognizing Stan- c
Ion’s warrants, on Inquiry it Is ascer- v
.■lined that tlie money was actually i
needed, and it went into the bauds of t
.he disbursing officers of the War De- 1
[>artment, Stanton not controlling one 1
lollar of it. It was therefore a matter ;
if little consequence who signed the
equisitions, except in a technical
ioint of view, and under the neressi
ies of tlie public service Secretary Mr
'ulloeh consented to recognize the re- j
Ulisitions. The President left the mat- |
er solely to the discretion of the Sec- i
•etary of the Treasury.
Pboceedinos Against Stanton.
The papers are ready in the proceed
ngs of quo warranto against Stanton,
md the war against that functionary
will commence in earnest—probably
io-tnorrow.
Corruption.
In debate to-day, Senator Trumbull ,
charged that the Secretary of the Treas- j
nry had paid a large amount of money
to two Treasury agents, under threats
nf exposure concerning some cotton
transactions.
Tub Thomas.Stanton Suit.
Under the law Stanton can and will
claim twenty days before ho responds
to the summons of the court in Thom
as’ suit for damages. The case cannot,
therefore, come up until April.
General Thomas’ Commission.
Gen. Thomas lias received an official
copy of his commission as Secretary of
War ad interim. It is dated Feb. 20th'
‘ (New Revenue Tax bill.
The Chairman of the Committee of
Ways and Means made an important
statement in the House this aflernoou,
foreshadowing the now Tax hill to tlie
following effect: The tax on manufac
tured articles is almost entirely remov
ed, and retained on four or live articles
oMuxury. The tax on distilled spirits
is fixed at two dollars per gallon. The
income tax remains unchanged.
President's State Dinner Partt.
The President gave a State dinner par
ty to-night. Most of the Justices of
I lie OU^ICUIU VVUll) M H VI V 111 I 1 IVU
weeks ago, attended. The Chief Jus
tice did not deem it proper, in view of
the impeachment trial, for him to be
present.
A QuestioM.
The question has arisen here (jliethcr,
as the Constitution directs that the
Chief Justice shall proside, in case of
his sickness or death the trial would
not be suspended. The best lawyers
give their opinion unhesitatingly, that
trial once inaugurated would move on
to the end, whether the Chief Justice
could attend or not.
STILL, LATER.
Washington, March 3.
Senate—Mr. Howard offered the fol
lowing order in behalf of the select
committee of seven on impeachment.
The Older is that die secretary of the
Senate be directed to inform the House
that the Senate is ready to receive the
managers appointed by the House to
carry to the Senate asticles of impeach
ment agaiu-d Andrew Johnson, presi
dent of the United States. Adopted.
Tile Senate proceed* d to the consid
eration of the report of the select com
mittee on standing rules of the Senate.
The clerk read the rules, which were
then laid over for further considera
tion, and the Senate went into an ex
ecutive session, several messages hav
ing been received from the President.
House—Mr. Loughbridge offered a
resolution instructing the judiciary
committee to inquire whether congress
has power, under the constitution, to
regulate the rates to be charged for
freight by railroads engaged in com
merce between different places of the
Union. Adopted.
Mr. Loan offered a resolution in
structing the judiciary committee to
report in reference to the political sta
tus of Texas. Resolution went over to
next Monday.
The House resumed the considera
tion of the motion of Mr. Kldridge,
pending at the adjournment yesterday,
to suspend tlie rules so that he might
m»TC i uttii imu |iku vu vii un- jum mil :
the protest of Ihe democratic members.
The motion was rejected—S4 to 4C, the
speaker voting among the yeas.
Mr. Spalding, from committee on ap
propriation, reported a bill aiding
charitable) institutions of the District
of Columbia, amounting to 5>1>4<>,100.
The speaker presented several execu
tive communications of an unimport
ant character, which were referred:
also a message from the managers ap
pointed by the House to carry to the
Senate articles of impeaehmentagainst
the President. The message was en
tered on the journal. The Hou.e went
into committee of the whole, Mr. Ash
ley, of Ohio, in the chair, and proceed
ed to the consider:-(ion of the post of
fice appropriation bill. At quarter
past 8, Mr. Butler arose and reported
from the managers of impeachment,
the following additional article, re
marking that there was but one dis
senting voice upon it among the man
igers, and it had only failed yesterday
jm account of want of time. The fol
lowing is Mr. Butlers additional nrti
•le : “The said Andrew Johnson, un
nindfiil of the high duties of his office
ind the dignity and proprieties there
)f, and of the harmony and courtesies
,vhich ought to excite and be inaiu

it tlie several specifications hereinafter [ i
ivvitlcn in subs lance and effect, that i« I 1
to say, the article is supported by three j i
ipccifications. giving extracts from the (
•porches of Andrew Johnson, in Wash
ington, August IS, at Cleveland, Ohio,
September 3, at St. Louis, September 8,
180G. The specifications concludes;
'Which said utterances, declarations,
threats and harrangucs highly censura
ble in any are peculiarly indecent and
disgracing in the Chief Magistrate of
the United States, by means and where
of said Andrew Johusou lias brought
the high office ofPrcsident of the Unit
ed States into coutempt, ridicule anfl
disgrace, to the great scandal of good
citizens, whereby Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States, did
commit and was there and ttf:n guilty
of high misdemeanor in office.
The speaker overruled a point of or
der against its introduction on two
grounds, the principal one being that
any member had a right, as a question
of the highest privilege, to present
articles of impcuchuicnt. Mr. Puller
spoke in support of the article. The
article was opposed by Garfield Wood
bridge and Wilson as tending to pro
tract the trial. Mr. Logan spoke in
its favor, after which the previous
question was moved and seconded by
the house, and it proceeded to vote by
ayes and nays. Adopted. The article
was reported as article 10. The article
was adopted; ayes 87, nays 41. The
only republicans voting in the nega
tive being Ashley, ol'Jicvada, Coburn,
unsworn, mum, , juanory, juamu,
Pomeroy, Smith, Wilson, of Ohio,
Windham and Woodbridge.
Mr. Bingham then oll'ered the fol
lowing as au additional article, saying
it had received the unanimous vote of
the managers, and he moved the pre
vious question on its adoption ;
“Article Second. That said Andrew
Johnson, president, did heretofore, to
wit: On the 18th day of August, 1866,
by public speech, declare and affirm in
substance that the iWth congress was
not a congress of tho United States,
authorized by the constitution to exer
cise legislative powers under the same,
but, on the contrary, was a congress of
only a part of the states, thereby deny
ing and intending to deny that tho leg
islation of said congress was valid or
obligatory on him, tho said Andrew
Johnson, except in so far as he saw tit
to approve the same ; and also whereby j
by denying and intending to deny the I
power of the said 39th congress to pro- j
pose amendments to the constitution I
of the United States; and in pttrsu-1
ance of said declaration the said A.
Johnson, president of the United :
States, afterward, to-wit: on the :11st j
day of February,1868, did •unlawfully 1
and in disr* iJStd of the requirements *
of the constitution, that he should take

Kditob of Citizbn :—Believing you
o be wide awake and perfectly alive to
ho issues of the day; t assume the j
triviiege of dropping you a line from ,
liis plane: To-day the citizens of j
iVoodrull' county were addressed at j
ength by Hon. Win. Byers, W. K. 1 ’at- ,
crsoii and Dr. Kirkwood. The speech
's were all aide, eloquent and convine- I 1
ng. The audience was a very large j
me, and the people listened with great .
nterest and anxiety. The people liere l
iceined to be deeply impressed with i
he absolute importance of voting
igainsl the constitution, and what is j .
nore, regard it not only as a privilege, i
mt as an imperative duty to do so. The
general impression prevails that if this :
iroposed constitution is fastened upon
is, we arc ruined for ail time, and that
he only possible way of ever getting
rid of it, after.it has once been adopt- '
ad, is by revolutionizing, a remedy of
which we have already had enough,
l’alk, write and spc'ak against the adop
tion of this constitution. You must
not spare any pains, trouble or labor in
Ibis canvass. The Radicals are using
evory effort which their mischievous
minds can invent, to accomplish the
ruin and overthrow of the white men
of the county ; and not content with
deceiving the people by telling them
the constitution is liberal in its provi
sions ; they oven seek to bribo the we: _
and vain, by offering them offices which
tlie constitution docs not provide for.
The appeal to tlio cupidity and fear of
others by a threat of confiscation, dis
guising from them at flic same time,
that flic taxes already imposed, and to
be hereafter levied by succeeding leg
islatures, will be more effectual confis
cation than any direct law for that ef
fect which can be passed. This is no
oral nary emergency, ana r ao nope
that you raise high the standard of
right and duty, and continue to flour
ish it in the face of the enemy until our
enemies become ashamed of their
course (if they have any shame left,)
and repent and seek forgiveness for
their evil deeds.

From the boston Courier. 7th ]
A singular case of supposed suspen

of this locality, was taken sick with

died. Ilis body was brought to the
city on Tuesday last, and upon opening
the coffin certain signs of life were
manifest. It was found that the arms
still retained some warmth, and upon
further examination by physicians who
were called, other symptoms, indica
ting that life had not wholly departed,
were disclosed.
The face yielding to pressure of the
hand would become white, and upon
the pressure being removed would

without successful results. A consulta
