South Arkansan.
We regret to observe an great a degree of indif
ference to the coming Convention mun fw- 'J by
the democracy of the Southern counties. Apathy
seen* to have been substituted for the spirited i
and enthusiastic action usually exerted on such
occasions, there having ro far, but three or four)
counties from tin* section of the Slate reported any
movement. Rr-na Lafayette* the Southwest corner,
to Chicot on tlie Southeast, a disregard of the im
portance of tins Convention is exhibit- d which
bodes but little good to the cause. The North and
West, with commendable real ar- acting promptly, i
and will send a force organized especially for the I
nomination of a Nonht in or ' tatern candidate.
The delegation will assert as strongly its seational
rights a.-; the principles of IVtr> iwacy which govern
it. Will the South then stand idle, let the day for
j action pass l>y, and then compiaiu when someone
! n 'oriously objectionable : pr-- nted for theirsup
I e ,rt? We do not suppose that tiic Conv- utioli
will do this, wc hope for bettor things, and espec
' tally, have we confidt nee in the patriotism and
| party devotion of the Democracy, lint this is a
- move of no small moment. Trie entire interests
i of the State will beunbmoted toone mom1 o r in the
House of Representative ■ at Washington, and the
wards of her people, ti.-.-.r claims to justice, our
I right to an equal dislnbu'iui of public bounties or
! appropriations, and the pa sage of lews affecting
our welfare, must depend almost entirely up >n his
influence and ability to procure for u- tin. b in tit.
to winch we are entitled in such cases.
Do you then feel indifferent n's to the nomina
tion, and careless as to whom the e deep and ah
| sorbing interests should be committed? Should he
not be a man of energy, action, talents, influence,
: with a heart fultof warmth for h ,s people, of pride
for liis State, ready and able to vindicate her when
! aspersed, zealously ami resolutely maintainirn:and
! ciaiminir all her rinht.st Thus far we are sure of
! the concurn nrc of thcSouth. But in addition to
the dpties which already devolve upon the Repre
sentative, it is not improbable that the responsibil
; ity of casting the vote of the State of Arkansas for
| the next President of the United States may also
fall upon him. The pr sen', uns et of the times
: are portentive of a s it-- of ntfiirs -that may bring
' the election of the n- ;* Pr- si lent I- l -re f ongre. s.
How closely then sh mid we s r itiuize the
' patriotism, purity of character and devotion to
principle of the demur-at wo sob -t ? How com
pletely should be poss- ss our fullest confidence,
an t hi honor integrity now mr above rtproacri
should !> the man to whom we entrust th's most
important charge ! Let then o \r fri uds in those
I counties where meetings have not 'icon held, at
once act, an<I aid in Selecting such a man, “ tried
and true;’* who will took to the interests of the
State, the protection of Southern rights and the
good of tin- counfty. When such .. dt :• ruination
is adopted by th Convention, we m iv look for a
! candidate upon whom the Democratic party will
; rally and all fl e wi»; work in.?, trickery and hum
ous put in operation will fall harmlessly to the
ground.

A column iiia'lo up almost of misropieaentation
and fats* reasoning appeared in the last Gazette
and Demo -rat, over the signature of “ Siren*.'' It
purports la lie a reply to the communication ol
“ Pro I'ono Publico,” which *c published on the
18th ulU, but the au’hor thought proper to take
a abot at the Banner <•» praamf aud place it in a
fable position, os tie demolished " pro bond" and
gathered sympathy for Gt n. Clerk. We have no
intention to eater into a contest with a shadow, or
any on • attacking us au inyi/iotmit b it there is ro
much latent conning in one paragraph, that we
cannot but expose it. The writer says:
<• 4s one who is more interested in the success
of democratic principles than of men. I ask rtf the
Ihinner if there is to tie no taith between democrats
— if om- if. to l<; the tarcet for all the other aspir

upon {}< n. Clarke and those- who acted with him in
the reccn* s. naterial contests, »s much as such a

It may be seen fr -m tliis, that Uie writer attempts
to e mvey the idea that we bate opposed the
nomination * f Gen. Clarke editorially, and for the
reason that he differed with ns in the Senatorial
election of ISIS. Lpon tins sttpp osition he grows
exceedingly patriotic, and threatens us with all
tlie anger of himself and the democratic party,
■should we s ; reed by such means in defeating the
said Clarke. What nonsense all this must appear
to any oik who cannot see the device winch it
covers. The su> akmg writer knows us well as we,
that. Gen. Clarke's name never was mentioned by
any correspondent in connection with the sena
tor.al election, aud that never in the columns of
the Banner or anywhere else that we know of, has
his cour.«o in i;,at i ontroversy been made the cause
of opposition to h>m. 11 it the object was, it pos
sible, m ain to revive that question an I wh.le we
were i>y tins writer's muendo to !« made to bi ar
the odium, the Gazette and Democrat aud Clarke
■were to rouse tlie Borland nu u to the rescue.—
lie says of him elf, “trr are willing to shoulder
the re;-i»onsibiliiy,” (of another Borland party, we
suppose.) t)h I of course; go it boots. Hessur

thank you not l > place us funm*.s' iu a work so
discreditable, when wc have : odiously avoided
bringing the subject up. Nj one, we believe,
thought of such au issue in the coming contest,
but this petty trickster %nd schemer of the Gaz
ette and Democrat.
What a shallow pretence too f it sympathy he
holds out by insinuating that Gen. t’.arke, is the
target at which every aspirant' sits Ins hostile
missiles. N > aspirant has attacked him tt.a, we
know of. and v e do not doubt that every one thas
treated him with the courtesy dui him, we at has
know nothing to the contrary.
The balance of the absurdities contained in
“.Samos” we will turn oxer to Pro llono Publico,
who no doubt has them bv tins tune.

Messrs. Eorroas : When I was m Little Bock
last winter, the name of this gentleman was men
tioned prominently among those whom the people
desired to run for Congress, upon the retirement of
the Hon. R. \V. Johnson. An acquaintance of
many years standing with Mr. Rector, an associa
tion with him politically and otherwise, and a
knowledge of his talents ami worth induced roe to
receive tbe announcement with pleasure. In fact
it appeared o be cordially received wherever it
was mentioned. How does it happen then, ttiat
except incidentally, h*s name never finds a place
in your columns’ The |>eople of tics conmy eu
tertainthe highest admiration for him and I believe
would support him in preference to any other cau
di late. They look up n hitu as he is, a lrgjt toned
democrat, »h* has be a unfaltering at all times
and under all circumstances in his devotion to the
l.ind-marks wkich guide- th isc who are true to the
party; and "as .» man capable by his talents and
fearless advocacy » f right, of succeeding the loved
and distinguished Rcprc .-ntiitix, who has served
us so faithfully No one* who has noticed the
c»;ir e of Mr. Rector i 1 the Seuate. can doubt that
tipou the floor of Congress he would (Tistinguish
hi him if as a bold ami eloquent debater, and exert
aaintl ieii to which your small beer politicians
can n ver attain. I had a go*>d opporl unity of
knowing that during :!i s :sion of the Senate last
winter that body contained h i member more in
<1 listi.-m.»i or more ready to devote himself to leasi
n' ss. He was lit* rally a working memb-'r, while
wiicuex i a queokmof imp.irLance came up f,,r

some language aitum-ulU which gen rally told

California Letter fm W.
The Fort Smith Herald of the «th iut»n', coo j
t» ns a long and interesting letter fnan this gentle-;'
min, dated from Sacramento City, 93th February. (
e hate only room fir the following c* tract:
*• I am aorry 1 can give you to little infonnatidn i
r vpecling my fellow Arkanaians. They are acat- j
!_red all oarer the country from the Klamath to San ,
D ego. * Many of tho Chctokeo who came over
the plains last season are wintering near the Ma
cosumnc about thirty-live mile* fro* here. Col.
L-cper. Dr, Dean, Ale*. McKismek, and several
c isrns of Washington county, are at the seme
p ace. Maj. Rector and J udge Brown invest Stock
t'.a ami the surrounding country. The last I saw
of Black, Harris, and the Lee's ere** delegation,
was on the Mscoaume nearOol. Leepcr. About |
a half dozen from different psrfs of our State are
in tins city and vicinity. Those wh > have died, or
rune home, you already kniw. Many have gone
h>'medoubtless, whoie departure 1 have not heard
of.
The health of the country is generally good.—
Diarrhoea is the prevailing disease of this place as
well as the mines.
Por political news, I refer you to the newspapers.
I im no citizen of California, I have not voted and
v. ill not vole at any election. I care nothing for
lie Legislative proceedings, especially when 1 see
that money is the sole object of them. Bribery,
it is publicly said, is the strongest argument used
by the Senatorial candidates in the canvass for
election. Tho Slate is already in debt, its script
below par, yet "retrenchment and reform'* seem
not :o enter the heads of the legislators.’’
The letter concludes with this oft repeated ad
mouition:
“ 1 am ignorant of the prevailing disposition of
n y friends at home, towards emigrating here. If
tl is letter reaches you and is published before it
' si alt have been too late, I hnpt thry will treigk my
d librru'r opinion, tkai tk' y woull Mi krttrr to rrinatn
a. homr, th in to come to California. They would
b. more liable to disease anil death, would inevit
ably suffer more from loss of property, and endure
more hardships and privations than would be bear
, able at home. I ara satisfied that the tenor of
every candid letter written back from here, sus ,
t. ins the*’ views. If any one has written to the i
contrary he has done injustice, and may do injury
to his friends.’’
Killing in the Cherokee Nation.
The Taiequah Advocate of the 1st inst., adds
a lother to the constantly recurring crime of inur- j
tl r >a that country. It says:
“ Crawford Fish, who resided some four or five
niles from this plate, was killed on the 24 th ult.,
be Toney Watts, and Jim Wall you ski.
Crawford Fish had had a difficulty with a man
by the name of Peach Watts, some few days be
f re, and had shot him, wounding him pretty bad
ly so that the friends of Peach Watts thought it
best to take Fish in hand until it w ould be known
bow the wound would terminate. An effort was
made to procure a writ for Fish, but the officers
bring absent, none was procured; still keeping
guard over Fish, until he attempted to leave cus
tody, when he was shot with two halls, and kill
ed ns above stated—one of the balls passing through
terr vital parts of his body. Watts and Wah-you
sl.i have been arrested for the murder of Fish, and
their trial commenced on Monday last. The trial
was not completed on Monday, but probably will
be to-day, and it is thought, will result in the ac
ipnttal of the prisoners.

Mr. EiH-roa : We had a large political meeting

friend. Major Flournoy, address the people. There
were over one hundred persons present aiUiough

number. The speech was able and eloquent and
i was received with great applause. Major F. is
metwuh kind feeling* up here, and both fnends i
j a id assailants believe him to be consistent and
honest in all his pretentious, and in fact has taken
a stand here of a distinguished character. Gen

it is not so well knows that he m id - others take
it in times of profound peace. I know it well.—
He made me take it. and Mint mail me Know so ;
well. The occasion for making me tak; it was.
his annual message got out from the office of •• Na
tional Intelligencer ” audtbc “ United Sis’csTele
graph ” before i' was sent to Congress, soon aft-r
I came into the “ Globe" office—flic lat a ussian
of the twenty third Congress. 1 be k-vc—in-1 ?.for
wards, a* long as he wm President, bo pave a;I
his messages to ins to have printed, with the al
tn tuition: “ l will hold you responsible, s r, if that
messagk- go's out l*-for Concre,;* s ready to re
ceive it. Don't let ony peraorv—not even one of *
my Cabinet Offhers—h ive a copy of i. before I ,
send it to Con^.re s.”
The printer pntrsftoin fbc ranch draught of the
President's message, and ofleti yet* part of-the
cojry before the message is completed. 1 invaria
bly went after the Copy, and took iht; proofs bar k
to the President myself, which gave me an opp-r
tnnity of knowing all about who wro*e and who
wire con;lilted about them. U has been sa d,
and is no doubt believed by many, that General
Jackson did not write his roessagt •;. Neither he
nor any other President ever wrote 'hose parts of
their message w hir h showed the condition of the
several departments. They are written by the
heads of the departments respectively. Nearly
the whole of the balance of Gen. Jackson’* ptes- j
sages was in his handwriting. The proclamation
which was intended to carry out his memorable
toast, “The Union must be preserved,” which w as
uttered as a rebuke to nullification, when it first
showed its front, at the celebration of Mr. Jeffer
son’s birth day m Washington, was re written by
Mr. Livingston, then Secretary of State. Mr. Ibair.
who saw the original paper, has frequently told
his friends that he thought it better than the fin
ished production, and not liable to the objections
to some of the principles advanced in the latter.
It was General Jackson's invariable practice to
put down in writing every official paper which he
submitted to the public. He was, however, al
ways willing to admit suggestions, and permit al
terations where he thought them improvements.
I will relate an anecdote, or incident, which
will lead to a correct conclusion as to who wrote ,
General Jackson's messages, and, also, who atten
ded to them after they were written.
When I went after the annual message which
demanded of the French king Louis Philipp*-) the
indemnity itu-‘ to citizens of the Unib-d Stab-s by
the FrenchG •vernment, I found Major A. J. I)on
elson, then General Jackson's private secretary,
and a clerk belonging to the State Department, j
(Mr. Derrick,) c**nparing the copies to be sent to
both branches of Congress with the rough draught.
General Jackson was wa'kmr the floor some
treaty or thirty feet from them, smoking Ins pipe,
«ymg no attention 1othe reading, as 1 thouht.
1’hen they read that part of the message which
rtmetl the demand in the strongest terms, tjen- r.il
ackson said- “ lion* iron! stop there; that is not
s I write it.” Major Donelson replied: ” General,
he Catenet had u meeting, and agreed to soften
lis a little;” he then attempted to read on, evi
ently very m-tch Agitated. General Jackson again
ud to him: “ 0,nelson ! stop there;.that is not as
wrote it.” Major Doueison made a stammering
;piy, saying: “ General, the Cabinet had a m<>t
ig, and agreed to soften this a little. 1 cannot
Iter it in time for Congress, and Mr. Kives is lu re
railing for the message: and if he does not get it
hortiy, he cannot have it printed in time;” and
ontinued to stammer pn, reading it. General
ackson then stamped his f-xv on the floor, and
ltd in a loud voice: “I say, atop! ami put that
s I wrote it. I don't care fir the Cabinet nor for
rr. Rives and Congress watting. It shall be as I
rrote it.” Major Donelson then op nt 1 his taldc
rawer, and took from it the slip which he had
ut from the message, and inserted it. in the place
f the alteration made by the Cabinet. I have
oth the original and tlie alteration. 1 believe,
led away, but with so many other papers that 1
annot find them conveniently Many predicted
t the time that the supposed affront conta.ned in
ic- message would cause France to declare war
gainst the United Slates. So far from it, it caused
le money to lie paid; and Louis Philippe, then
ling of France, thought so highly of Gen. Jackson,
lat he sent an eminent artist (Mr. Healy) to the
[ermitage, to take his likeness for him; the like
ess was completed only a few days liefore the
leneral’s death, and is said to be the best ever
iken.” _

Major Ba'Uett, C imm-ssary of the Boundary
commission, who arrived in New Orleans on the
3th lost., communicates to the Picayune infortua
on of the following tragic scenes:
Major B.’spuriy, when about 2'J-t miles this side
f El Paso, discovered a smoke at some distance,
'hey sent out a party to reconnoitre, and discov
red a negr i man and woman in the act of cook
iig food, and on furl her s* arch the head of a negro
,'as found in the fire. They said they had been
ompeiled to kill one of their company for food,
'hey had been nine days out, the.r gun had burs
al, and they w. re in a slate of starvation. The
ccount they gave of themselves was this: 'hey
rere all staves of a man named Owens, near Hot
y Springs, Miss., and had tun off together last
uru-plauting, making for Mexico. The boy killed
ras about nineteen years of ago, the other from
wenty seven to thirty, calls himself Henry; the
irl, a bright rt: ilatto, ilmut twenty-one, named

These last two were taken to S;ui Antonio, and
t-ft in custody of one Antonio Navana.

the last Confess, without sifting hi* claims, or
sending him to the ordeal of three comm fees, as
was our fortune to encounter; who is an “ able

again reject oar application on account of public

faithfully done, why, we must submit with all the
grace in our power. If political cliques or partv

easily done. We shall then tseeomp* lied to retire.
Or if, indulging a more magnanimous -pint, they

turn to private life with some little dWifott, or re

But the arrow has been sped. Both justice amt
relief have been denied to us, not by a majority of
either house of Congress—for the Senan was more
friendly to ns even than the House of Represen

tary tactic's—by a trick which we could never hav.
expected from the source whence it emanated.—
Our CAse has been spoken to death.
I repeat, I Was willing to remain at my post,
though 1 was more willing to retire. But, in fact,
the last has become the only alternative which was
left to mi'. Congress have thrown an immense
quantity of work upon my hands, even in the ex
piring days of its last s-vwion, although I attempted
to piirsaiie them to assign the printing on hand to
another office. I had really no conception of the
quantity until 1 had looked into the budget since
their adjournment.

contract—though .ndebted to the most ibera! cred

ligations, to carry on both the iiew*pa;ier and the
p iblic pruning. Obliged by mv contract to eve
cute the work in spite of all denial of relief, 1 had
to yield the paper, or comply with uiy contract.
I have done the former. To this course, also. I
have been deliberately advised by the eminent
