ARKANSAS STATE CONVENTION
SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRICT CONVENTION -COUNTY
CONVENTION, AC.
We are requested to announce that a
Convention of the Democracy of Prairie
County, will be held at Brownsvile on the
Second Monday, (12th of March, I860,)
to appoint Delegates to the State and
District Conventions, to nominate a can
didate for Governor, Electors for the State,
and a candidate for Congress. Also, to
define the time for holding a County Con
vention to nominate a candidate for the
Legislature, &c.
It is earnestly requested that a full dele
gation be sent up from each township.
PLACE AND TIME FOR THE HOLD
ING OF THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC
STATE CONVENTION.
Little Rock, Jan. 14, 1860.
I announce to the Democratic Party of
the State of Aiknnsas, that the Executive
Committee, appointed by the last Demo
cratic Slate Convention, for the purpose of
selecting Ihe place, and fixing Ihe lime
for tbe holding of the next Democratic
State Convention, have performed that
duty, and selecting the City of Little
Rock as the place, and
Monday, the 2nd day of April next,
as the time, for the holding of the next
Democratic State Convention; and all
Democratic papers in the State are re
spectfully requested to make ihe same
known. P. T. CRUTCHFIELD,
Chairman of Executive Committee.
The names of the candidates for
Cong ess, in this District are ‘'legion ”
We hear mentioned in this connection the
Hon. T. B. Flournoy, Judge T.
Sorrells, Hon. E. W. Gantt, Dr. C.
B. Mitchell, Judge Compton, Gen.
Hempstead, lion. B. C. Totten, Judge
M urray and Gen’I. Hemmingway. It
is certainly-a consoling reflection to the
people of our District, that there is no
want, amongst them, of proper material
out of which to make a Congressman.
We see that the debate in the
House on the 19th., was participated in by
our friend, Col. Hindman. He delivered
a speech which is characterized by letter
writers from the Metropolis, as one of
great ability. He succeeded completely
in affixng the responsibility for tbe,
present want of organization, upon the
South American faction.
Patriotic.—The American members
of the Louisiana Legislature on the 16th
ult., by a vole of 21 yeas to 7 nays, re
solved to “ inform tbe Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature ” who were at that
time in caucus that they “ pledged ” them
selves to unite'tvilh them in sustaining the
nominee of the Charleston Convention.
The cherished dream of southern unity
is about being realized, and this is but
one of the many indications that in the
great struggle of 1860 the South will
know no division in her opposition to the
“irrepressible conflict” traitors. “Con
summation devoutly to be prayed for ? ”
--
Next Governor of Arkansas.—The
names of Fletcher, Floyd, Gould,
Hill, Mayers, McCreery, Mitchell,
Roane, Totten and J. F. Wheeler,
have been suggested as suitable persons
to receive the nomination for the next
Governor of our State. We have our
preference, and shall use our best exer
tions to aid in the nomination of Hon. B.
O. Totten. We publish the following
letter from the Old Line Democrat of the
25th ult., and fully eudorse all the writer
says:
HON. B. C. TOTTEN.
Mr. Editor.—Through the columns
of your very valuable paper, allow ine to
suggest the gentleman whose name heads
this article, as the most suitable candidate
for the next Governor of our State. Hav
ing filled some of the highest posts of
honor within the gift of our people, he is
eminently qualified to fill the high and re
sponsible position of Governor. We
need a man of firmness; one who has
not dabbled in the petty quibbles of our
local politicians; one who 1ms ever stood
out with a bold front and fought for true
democratic principles; one who has the
nerve to face the enemy, and drive them
back with an able and willing arm.
Judge Totten is this man. He has ever
been a true aud conservative democrat—
and no man more richly deserves the
Gubernatorial chair.
Should Judge Totten receive the
nomination, as 1 most heartily wish he
may, Prairie will be for him almost to a
man. I have the confidence in the peo
ple of our county to believe that he would
not lose a dozen votes in vt. fie is hei
first and only choice for Governor, anc
her delegates will be instructed to volt
accordingly. Should he fail to receive
the nomination at your ciiy in Apri
next—and some other good and triec
democrat is nominated, Prairie will bi
“ right side up with rare.”
^ Youra very respectfully,
^ PRAIRIE.

AND SCISSORS.
* ,T.r 'Em. Ethridge, has frequently de
' Lrffred during the recent debate in Con
gress, that to vote for a Democrat foi
Speaker is the last thing he would do
1 We see, however, in examining the re
port of the 4th ultimo, that he has done
that " last thing” and voted for Horace
F. Claik, of New York, whom he charac
terized at the time as an •* Anti-Lecomp
ton, Anti-Buchanan, and Ishmaelitish
Democrat.” Thus it appears that he was
determined if he voted for a Democrat at
all, to vole for the meanest, dirtiest and the
one nearest akin to the Black Republicans
in Congress. Such is Mr. Ethridge's
taste. JVon disputandvm dr gustibus.
-The Nashville Patriot favors the
idea of sending Missionaries among the
northern pe’ople for the purpose of cor
recting the prevailing sentiments upon the
subject of slavery. It says:
That (Northern anti-slavery) senti
ment must be changed or materially modi
fied. We believe that it can be done, and
fairly done. We do not insist that the
Free Slates shall become Slave States,
but we do insist that they shall not only
regard slavery as an institution recognized
by the Constitution, but that they shall re
gard it us just for us of the South to hold
slaves as long as we desire. We believe
[that such a sentiment can be produced in
the Free States. How? We answer, by
such speeches as that of Mr. O Conor;
by a bold, open, manly treatment of the
subject; by the enlightenment of the
masses of the North. There are thous
ands of honest, patriotic, misguided men
in the Northern Slates, now voting with
the Black Republicans, who have been
induced to do so by the gross misrepre
sentations of ikeir press and their polili
cal leaders. Undeceive them; show
them slavery as it is, and they will abjure
their allegiance to the Higher Law, and
again become devoted citizens of the
Union. We must have more such speech
es there as Mr. O’Conor’s. Circulate, by
the thousand, such as that of Gov. John
son, recently delivered in the Senate.
Learn them that the slave labor ol the
South is not inimical to the free labor of
the North, but that both are engaged in a
common struggle ngaipst the oppressions
of accumulated capital. Let our South
ern men take the field. Let us detail
Johnson, and Nicholson, and Harris, and
Stephens, and Davis, and Hunter, and
Breckinridge, and Brown, and a corps of
others for the work. Let us no longer
confine the fight against Black Republi
canism to Southern ground. Let us car
ry the war into Africa. Let the battle
cry be “ Carthago delenda est,” Abolition
ism must be crushed out.
We most cordially endorse the sugges
tion of the Patriot. Let the missiona
ries be furnished by all means. It would
rejoice us, in the coming canvass, to see
such men as Bell and Crittenden on the
stump,_contending before the northern
masses that slavery is morally, socially
and politically right. They have in an
eminent degree the faculty of “ making
the worse appear the better reason,” and
in so good a cause they would force the
granite hills of New England, to prate of
the injustice done by northern abolitionists
t,6 Southern Institutions. We long to
hear the dispassionate logic of the one
and the burning eloquence of the other
caught up by the chill winds of Massa
chusetts, borne slowly along upon the
breeze’s that fan the home of Seward,
echo and re-echo upon the shores of On
tario and Erie, until finally lost upon the
broad prairies of the mighty West. C^h !
for a south, a united south, a south that
with one heart and one voice would stand
up in defence of her dearest rights. We
are struggling for life ; the Black Repub
lican party for a sickly principle. When
»>•/> mil 1 |AQ<3 n II Tt pflfi npvt'r
too much regretted that we have in the
southern States certain political leaders,
who for purposes of party success or per
sonal-aggrandisement, arc ever ready to
parry every direct blow that is made upon
our enemies, by a feint at southern disu
nionists. When we can stand all togeth
er, cease all bickering, lay aside all
prejudice and minor differences, and de
mand our constitutional rights, not in the
tone of craven supplicants, but in the tone
of “demandants,” then we will have that
union, “ which ” in the words of the im
mortal Jackson “ led our fathers through
a sanguinary struggle to a glorious inde
pendence—that sacred union perfected by
the Constitution.”
-Hon. John Letfcher was inaugura
ted Governor of Virginia on the 2d ult.
His first message was transmitted to the
legislature on the 7th. The high charac
ter of John Letcher, with reasonable men
of all parties, as a patriot, an enlightened
statesman and moderate partizan will pro
cure for his message the dispassionate
consideration of all, and the important
character of his suggestions will elicit
general discussion.
He recommends that the Legislature
adopt resolutions in favor of a call for
such a convention as is provided for in the
fifth article of the Constitution, and ap
peal to the Legislatures of the several
States to unite in the application proposed
to be made to Congress, in pursuance of
the provisions of this article of the Con
stitution. If the free States fail or refuse
to unite in this application, then it will
furnish conclusive evidence of a determin
ation on their part to keep up the present
agitation. In the event of the failure ol
this plan, he does not hesitate to recom
mend to the southern Slates that they
meet in convention for the purpose of dis
cussing the propriety of a peaceable seces
sion from the Uuion.
Whether, in the--present stale of the
public mind, the suggestions of Governor
Letcher, would if attempted result in any
permanent good, is certainly questionable
and is the point to be considered. But,
one thing is certain, the harmony and
peaceful continuance of our present Union
can only be preserved, and is only desira
ble upon a faithful observance of the Fed
eral compact and the guarantied rights of
each and every State ; and when a domi
nant section boldly and defiantly declares
its determination to get control of the
government and administer it for sectional
purposes, tjjere can be no peaceful Union
and it becomes patriots of every party to
recognize the fact. The South asks
nothing; she seeks no aggression. She
only asks for equality in the Union and :
her just rights under the Constitution, and. j
consistently with the preservation of her
rights—she can submit to nothing less.
We have not a thought that any pruden
tial suggestions, such as are contained in
Gov. Letcher’s message, will meet with
any favor at the hands of the “ irrepressi
ble conflict ” party. This is shown in the
intemperate spirit with which his sugges
tions are received by the northern press.
Thus, the New York Tribune after char
acterizing uov. .Lieicner s polity as wnoi
ly impracticable” and utterly “ incapable
of meeting the crisis,” says “ Slavery and
freedom have met face to face, and all de
bat cable ground having been occupied,
nothing is left but to fight it out. * *
* * * The question was fought out
in Kansas, as it will be fought out in
every other Territory where slavery aims
to get a foot-hold, until Congress pos
sesses the question by keeping slavery in
its present limits, or agrees upon some
such principle as was introduced in the
Missouri settlement.” It will not be
doubted that the Tribune correctly repre
sents the sentiment of the dominant party
at the North, and from its outgivings it
will be seen that there can be no settle
ment of this question other than an un
conditional surrender of all our constitution
al right to a participation in the common
Territory, But who believes that their
demands will stop here. The march of
fanaticism is ever onward, and the sur
render of one castle, will but hasten the
period when another will be stormed and
carried ; until in their own language “ the
sun shall not rise upon a slave or set upon
a master.” As reluctant as we may be
to admit it, it is unquestionably true, that
the demands of Seward, Helper, Wilson
and Sumner, are but the demands of the
great mass of the northern people.
Nothing can save the country from the
impending danger that threatens it, but a
united South zealously co-operating with
the patriotic minority at the North. Such
a combination, standing upon the Consti
tution and actuated by a patriotic deter
mination to secure to every State all the
rights guarantied to it under that instru
ment, may be able to dislodge a sufficient
number of northern States from the em
braces of Republicanism to prevent the
inauguration of the “ irrepressible con
flict” party. To the attainment of this
object the South, irrespective of past dif
ferences. should address itself. Her poli
cy should be characterized by a wise mod
eration. She should do nothing to divert
the attention of the country from the
main issue, and force the Black Repub
licans to triumph, if they triumph at all,
upon a platform so odious that it will be
likely to provoke our people to resistance.
In a word we should make no issue at all.
Bet them make the issue and we will meet
them upon it, and appeal to the patriotism
of the whole country to prevent so palpa
ble a violation of the Constitution as would
be involved in the inauguration of a sec
tional'parly, based upon the isolated idea
of opposition to the interest of one section
of the confederacy.
In the event, however, of the failure of
these patriotic eflorts and the consequent
success of a sectional party, we would re
gard it as indicative of a determination
upon the part of the North to continue an
agitation which must be subversive of our
most cherished institution, and we do not
hesitate to avow it as our most solemn con
viction that the only remedy left for the
South is in her peaceable secession from
the Union. This point, we propose at
some early period, to discuss with some
degree of elaborateness ; for the present
we present to our readers the following
extract from the recent speech of our im
mediate Representative in Congress, Mr.
Rust. It presents with much force and
clearness what we believe will be the de
termination of the people of Arkansas in
the happening of the contingency al
luded to..
Mr. Clerk, in the course of this debate,
contingencies have been anticipated which
I trust may never occur ; and gentlemen
upon this floor have announced the pur
poses of themselves, and the States which
they represent, when they shall have hap
pened.
The people whom I represent, and whose
sentiments upon this question I believe I
faithfully reflect, are eminently a national,
conservative. Union-loving people. Their
love is not a romantic, sentimental, un
reasoning passion.
We do not, like the gentleman from
Tennessee, (Mr Nelson,) love the Union
because of its 11 lofty mountains, its great
rivers, its immense lakes, its smiling val
leys, its murmuring brooks, its broad
prairies, and mighty cataracts.” No. sir.
| Ours is a sober, rational, calculating, and
| interested attachment. We love the
j Union because, through its Government,
;il ‘•establishes justice, insures domestic j
i tranquility, provides for the common de-!
! fence, promotes the general welfare, and i
secures the blessings of liberty to ourselves i
and our posterity; ” and so long as it
faithfully and impartially performs these
duties, and accomplishes these beneficent
objects, in imitation of our fathers when
they declared their independence of the!
British.Crown, we will “pledge our lives,!
our fortunes, and our sacred honor," to
uphold and defend it.
But, sir, when it is perverted and pros
tituted into an instrument of wrong, in
justice, insult, and oppression, to the peo
ple of the slave States, or of any other of
the States of this Union, we will oppose
and resist it, though it should be tent into
as many fragments as there are States
composing it.
In the event of Mr. Seward's election
to the Presidency, in 1860, Arkansas will
assume that modest, reserved, unobtrusive
attitude which her geographical position, •
(being remote front the probable scene of
conflict ) her youth as a sovereignty, her
cuidpaTativ-ely limited resources, and her
want of political prestige, render becom
ing in her. But, if her elder sisters of
this Confederacy—if Virginia, Maryland.
Georgia, and the Carolinas, shall deter
mine that forbearance and submission are
no longer compatible with her safety, her
interests, or her honor, she will link her
fortunes with theirs; her sons will be
found in the path of duty and of honor,
foremost, among those who have been
driven in a fratricidal war, to draw the
sword in defence of all that isanost valued
among freemen.
--
Death or Col. W. D. Roy.—In our
last issue we published the telegraphic re
port of an unfortunate affray which re
sulted in the death of Col. Roy, of Vicks
burg, at the hands of D. J. Sheppard.—
Since then we are in receipt of Vicksburg
and Jackson Mississippi papers, giving
the particulars of this affair. From these
details we have no hesitancy in pronounc
ing u a gokj uiooaea assassination^ unre
fieved by a solitary mitigating cause. It
appeared from the testimony given in at
the coroner’s investigation, that as Col.
Roy was crossing the street, not dream
ing of molestation from any quarter, Shep
hard stepped up and deliberately shot him
down, the ball lodging in his left breast
just above the heart. Col. Roy drew his
pistol, but was unable to use it; before he
could use it he fell and expired immme
diately.
The most singular incident connected
with this affair is the bailing of Sheppard.
He was taken before M. C. Folkes, Esq.,
and after a protracted trial, the evidence
of which disclosed one of the most atro
cious and villainous murders that ever dis
graced a civilized community, he was ad
mitted to bail. Verily, murder and as
sassination command a premium at Vicks
burg. Surely the citizens of that place
have !ost~thatr-love for the supremacy of
law and order which impelled them years
ago to expel from their midst a set of
gamblers and desperadoes ; or else they
are able to draw a discrimination between
the grades of crime which we are unable
to perceive. They are unwilling that
their city shall be the abode of gamblers,
but it is eminently proper to throw
around murderers and assassins the pro
tection of the law. Sheppard had previ
ously, while in the employ of Col. Roy,
embezzled and stolen from him funds to
the amount of abou1 $6,000, and now adds
to the crime of theft that of murder. Not
content with stealing his money he has
now taken his life. (
We knew W. D. Roy well. In all the
relations of life he bore his part well. A
nobler, a more gallant and chivalrous
spiiit never lived. True to his friends,
magnanimous as an opponent, generous
in all his impulses, liberal to a fault, hon
est in his convictions and bold and un
flinching in advocating them, he will long
live in'the affectionate remembrances of a
large circle of friends. He was at the
time of his death editor of the Vicksburg
Sun, one of the ablest papers in Missis
sippi, and had been an influential member
of the Mississippi Legislature. He leaves
a youtig and beautiful wife and one child
to mourn bis loss. Requiescat in pace.
