Coroner's Inquest.
On Saturday last the Coroner held an inijuest
ipon the remairis of a man found upon a road in
he woods alaiut five miles from the city, upon the
leading to the Mamnelle. He had the ap
earanceof having lain there for about sis months,
io marks of violence were discoverable. A pair of
rass spectacles were found in one of the pockets.
His clothing consisted of a pair of coarse black
lasinet pantaloons, a Jeans vest, a coarse white
cotton shirt, and a pair of bngan shoes.
Temperance Celebrution.
There was a grand Temperance celebration at
ulip, Dallas county, on the 1st inst., at which
•ey checks and bright-eyis and lips wreathed
with angel smiles.“and uttering silvery toues£elo
uently, urged the firm to remain true to their
dedge, and the ering to give up theeri! of their
ways, who could resist such lovely pleasures.—
)ur old friends (fol. Alexander and Maj. Borden,
did their pari with much honor to themselves.—
t must have been a pleasant May day.

ie is democratic to the core, and has the ability
and talents to do good service m the cause. He
will in the approaching canvass, sound many a
clarion blast to rouse the suiroundrug democracy
o buckle on their armor; notwithstanding its lo*
atiou is ‘‘maliciously’' said to be “ half the time
under water” we predict success for the “ Sun.”
We are glad to fin 1 that its editor has "already
begun to smell glory and fortune from afar.”
Fraternal Order*.
In addition to the Kr.itomal orders already in
successful operation in our city, we congratulate
the community on the organization ef the Teiupie
of Honor, in Little Rock, Thii order merits a large
xhare of public favor; fir in addition to its strong
raternal features, it essays to exterminate the
reatest temporal evil that curses ourrace, that of
intemperance. Although the Temple has had a
nominal existence for some five years, it is really
only two years old, having separated from the
Sons of Temperance, m May, l!UU; since which
time its progress has been rapid and p nnanent.—
It now numbers about seven hundred Subordinate
Temples, aad Grand Temples ia nearly ail tbe
States. It has four degrees, the degrees of Love,
Purity, and Fidelity, and the S'U ial degree. The
latter of which is conferred on ladies, who meet
in this degree with the members of the Temple.—
The ceremony uf the Order is unsurpassed for im
pressiveness and liesiily, and has alt the attributes
to make the- Tenjple of liuuor riaaneut and use
ful.
U'The Odd Fellows ul Philadelphia, are prepar

Acceptance «f Hon. ft. W Johuawu.
Wc are gratified in announcing to day Hie for
mal acceptance by the Hon. R. W. Johnaon, of
hil nomination by the Democratic convention.
Wc publuh below the letter of the committee
appointed by the convention to inform Col. John
aon of hia nomination and bia reply. It will be
aeen from hia letter that the condition of hia pri
vate buaineaa neccaaarily long neglected on account
of hia conitant attention to hia many arduous public
duties, will prevent him from canvassing the whole
State. We can not doubt that hia name is alrea
dy sufficiently familiar to our citizens to render a
protracted canvass unnecessary, and wc feel confi
dent that hia untiring industry in liehalf of tin
people of his State, his sterling and luuquesttuna
ble democracy, and his generous devotion to the
| cause and interests of the South have not only
| won for him a respectful and well deserved ndmi- j
| ration, hut have really endeared him to the demo
; crats of Arkansas. If however, and it is not alto
gether improbable, our opponents should bring out
: v candidate, Col. Johnson has declared his inten
i tion to lay aside all other considerations, and de
vote himself entirely to the defence of the demo
cratic party ami ita principles, wherever and when
ever they may be assailed.
i This election will be by far the most important
to the cause of Democracy and of Southern rights,
that has ever occured in Arkansas. From the pc*
I culiar position of the great political parties, it has
. been predicted by all the watchers of the signs of
the times, and indeed it is more than pint-able that
the nest election for President of the United Stall's,
will be thrown into the House of Representatives.
, In that event the votes being taken by States, the
■ vote of Arkansas will have as much weight as that
‘of Ohio or New York. In addition to this the
; Northern abolitionists are straining every nerve to
acquire sufficient strength in Congress not only to
repeal the fugitive slave law, but to waae a sue*
'cessful warfare upon the social system of the
; Southern States and by a crowning act of perfidv
, to usurp the authority to abolish slavery where
• every it exists. These are no longer the mere
j chimeras of a heated fancy, but are facts too true,
j too real and stern which have long cast their shad
ows before them.
In view of these contingencies it is of the ut
i kansas should be mu' who has been long and well
j tried, one whose zeal and fidelity in 'he past may
; be taken as an earnest of his future conduct, and
I without disparaging others we can say with truth
i that to no one can lx- accorded a more full aud
1 fearless confidence in the approaching crisis, that
to hiru who has been constituted the standard
i bearer of our parly, lie has hitherto bravely aud
' nobly comported himself in behalf of the rights
i and interests of his constituents, and he will again
1 be fouiid performing the duties of his position with
‘ faithful activity.
The time for the election is not far distant, an 1
we trust that every democrat throughout the State,
laying aside personal preferences and prejudices,
will be active in the good cause, and aid in at
chieving a glorious democratic victory by rolling
1 up a majority greater than ever for the nominee of
• the convention.
Letter of the Committee to Hon. R. W.
Johnson.
Ltrruc Rock, April 28, 1851.
Hot*. R. W. Johnson,
Dear Sir: The Democratic State Convention
which met and closed its labors to-day—the largest
and most respectable convention which ever con
' vened iu the State—nominated you lor re-election
to the seat in Congress which you have filled with
fidelityand distinction for the last four years. It
is our duty as the committee appointed for that pur
pose, to inform you of the result aud to say that
the Convention determined to give to the nom.nee
a cordial and zealous support, and we deem it pro
per to add a support to which your uniform attach
ment to the cause of Democracy, your fidelity to
Southern rights and interests and your public ser
vices, eminently entitle you, and which we feel
assured you will receive at the hands of the people;
and we wiil’only add that uo doubt is enteitamed ,
of success while one so true and faithful as your- j
self is the standard bearer of the Democratic party.
Vou will be pleased to make the acceptance of
the nomination public at as early a day as may
suit your convenience.
Very respectfully your ob’t. servants,
S. O. SMITH. J

Reply of Hon. K. W. Johnson.
Jkpvbbson County, May 3, 1831.
Gentlemen: 1 have this moment received yours
of the 23th of April, iu which as the commit tee
appointed for that purp xse you inform m ■ that the
Democratic State Convention have u r.mnateJ me
for re-election to Congress.
1 could not give to you a faithful expression of
my feelings when first advised of this fact and will
not attempt it. 1 had declined even to ask for the
nomination. I could not and did uot anticipate it.
That it should tie conferred upuii uie under such
circumstances I regard as the highest honx. It is
the hat of a triumphant and inflexible Democracy
and is equivalent to an election. There cau lie no
one who would not feel with a swelling heart so
distinguished an expression of the confidence and
goon opinion (II ins,- people oi UUIDC. I will
accept the nomination. If elected I will discharge
it* incident duties Ui our State, and l*!m ir lor our
people faithfully; and I beg you Gentlemen to as
sure’ the Democracy of Arkansas, that I br.ng to
their service, with a full heart, the renewed pled
ge* of the past, and the maturity of a faith un
changed. >
I would subtract nothing fro® the cardinal* of
the Democratic creed. 1 will support them faith
fully as hitherto we have understood and support
ed them in Arkansas; hut if our northern brothers
will complete the complement of Kree^uil Aboli- '
tmmsts which they are daily adding to those al
ready in the Senate and lUuse of Itepreaentatives,
assail the South in u few more 1/f her once consti
tutional, but now precarious rights, and convince
the people of the South of our perilous condition,
(would unite to build, over ail our differences,;
an altar to the South, to our rights of property, and
our hitherto sacred social relations, Ir that «;u.tr
ier for us there now exists and I doubt Rot will
continue to exist our greatest and real danger.
My absence from the Stale when nominated, as
now informed by you, deprives me of the advice
and leaves me ignorant of the wishes and opinions !
of the delegates to the Convention, nun thus sud
denly called upon, 1 am coasts;neatly, as vet, un
able to determine to what quarter of the State 1
shall first direct my steps. That will be deter
mined and made knowa as early as shall be in my
power.
1 have been loag from home; mv private affairs
have been, greatly neglected, and require much
active ahd immediate attention. Since the lull
of Dili), 1 have Neva wholly unable fro® the un
paralleled length of the sittings of Cougreas. to
give any adequate attention to them. Those at all
familiar with them, have some idea how deranged
is their condition from canoes beyond my control,
and mutt know that 1 have suffered severely from
unavoidable absence.
I have alluded tbas briefly, gvatlemaa, to my
private matters, beet use I feel that I aught to give
.here some attention this summer, and because i 1
believe that every well meaning, and nght minded
mao, will at once appreciate the necessity that t
should do so, and justify me in it.
UikIct these circumstances I shall be unable to
canvass the whole State and many have expressed
to me their convictions that there is no necessity
to do ao, b,ut I will endeavor aa speedily as possible
to arrange my matters, ami then to commence the
canvass.
The political world upon all ordinary party top
ics enjoys an extraordinary ralm. The same still
quiet pervades our State. What effort if any will
be made to defeat Ihe action of the Democratic
party 1 am unable to foretell. I will bowevci
pledge myself that should there be any opposition
to the nomination with which the Democracy have
honored mr, 1 will os a matter of paramount duty
lay aside every thing else and meet it at once.
In conclusion, gentlemen, allow me to acknowl
edge the flattering estimate placed by you upon my
humble efforts to serve our State and people, and
to thank you individually for the very kind man
ner in which you have discharged towards me, the
duty confided to you by the Democracy of Arkan
sas m Convention assembled.
i have the honor to be with the
highest respect your ob’t serv't

The Nomination.
In relation to our controversy upon tins subject,
we confess that we are uualde to place tin
editor of the Gazette and Democrat upon any tan
gible ground. W*e have made ever* disclaimei
that the circumstances called for anJ we ' ad hopet
that our amtnJt to him and others would have
proved satisfactory, but, “ submission ” is no
sufficient, our neighbor asks for further conces
sions from us; well we will make it thus far, am
will try once more fo gratify him for the sake of tin
party in the maintenance of which we are boil
engaged. He misunderstands us, evidently, fron
one express ion he uses. We do not desire to “ rub
or ruin" but feel willing and anxious that crimi
nation should cease, and that in the coining Con
gn-suonal election, the Democratic party shouli
present ail unbroken front
W'e do not hesitate to say that we felt muel
pride in the nomination of Col. Johnson, am
probably expressed our feelings not entirely in ac
cordance> with others of the party who diffcrer
with us ; not as to principles hut men, hut wt
disclaim any desire’ to wage a poliliral w»
against any portion of the Democratic party. Wi
are therefore willing that " bye gone* should la
bye gone*,” and we again take occasion onc<
more to ask our neighbor if this is sufficient.
J"7‘ We are always disposed, and it is our dot;
as a public journalist, to correct misrepresents!tor
or error, hence we have given place to the follow
ing letter of Mr. Green. If he has exceeded the
purpose an.! has committed errors also, he is sub
ject to the same exposure am! our paper to a liki
extent may to that end be used. The Banner doei
not pretend to tie sectarian, and it is with ;oiir
hesitation that we open our coin in us to a religioui
controversy which might by any construction Mien
tify it with any denomination.
“The Religions Kxcitemeut at Milwaukie.’1
Col. Reardon: 1 have read a paragraph in youi
paper of this date extracted from one of your ex
changes. It has been copied extensively by tin
journals of the country, at least I judge so, having
seen it in several other papers beside yours. I
fear it is calculated to make a wrong impression or
many minds, and therefore I notice it.
This Mr. Leahy, whose lectures occasioned thr
riot, was formerly a monk of LaTrappe, one of tht
numerous orders of unmarried gentlemen connect
ed with the papal church. He, however, (as hi
should have done) left the order and the churct
upon conviction of their corruption. Since iher
he has been lecturing with much severity against
the priesthood and the confessional as practised in
the Roman chur 'i. In doing which he haa onl)
told what his cv < have seen and wiiat he know:
to be true. Every man has a right to do this, lit
has exposed the doctrines of the priests as fotinti
m such books as ” Deni," and “ Ijgori." —
These are genuine Roman Catholic works—1 havt
them in iny possession; they have been examinee
by several intelligent gentleman in this city. 1
any man is disposed to blame Mr. Leahy as a vi
tuperative and needless agitator, let him suspenti
his judgment until he learns as lie may learn, lhal
ail he says and more besides is true. I make I best
remarks because the tone of the press generall)
has been to condemn Mr. Leahy fur exposin*
ab iscs which seem almost inevitable, when un
married priests go about confessing female |>em
tents. Your's truly,
JOSHUA K GREEN.

Archbishop Hughe* iu Home.
It was recently stated, with a great deal of con
fidence, that Archbishop Hughes, of New York
city, was to be made a Cardinal for this continent.
The New York Herald of the 20th ult., however,
says:
“ It appears that when this very important ques
tion with respect to advancing Archbishop Hughes
came up before the Pope ami the College l‘mgu
gon'la t'iilei, some of the members of that holy
council suggested that the atTair was of a very grave
and si-nous kind, and that, in view of the hostili
ties which had arisen in England at the elevation
of Cardinal Wiseman, it would be proper to in
quire of some intelligent American what course
ought to In- adopted. Cpon this suggestion, a pro
position was made to apply to Mr. Cass, our Charge
at Rome, as to what he thought of the necessity of
creating this Cardinal for the spiritual welfare of
th>‘ United States. Mr. Cass, being anxious to
make such a reply as would be satisfactory to
those most interested in the welfare, political and
spiritual, of the people at large, very properly re
plied, that on such a question he thought the vari
nn* highly intelligent bishops on this continent
might be consulted to advantage. The college ap
preciated tins happy suggestion, and acted upon
it accordingly. The bishops on both side* of the
Alleghamex were applied to fortiiwifTi for their
oj minus, w hich, as we learn, are adverse to the
election of our friend, the Archbishop, to this new
ilistiii> u in. They view the matter in a practical
light, and. believing that it will be a useless office
:n the fluted States, they have just seat out their
objections m such a shape as will decide the quea
lion against the Archbishop, when the subject
cone s up again before the sacred college. The
documents being on the way, we shall have, after
a Cw weeks, the full decision, and the return of
Bishop Hughes to his diocese, from which he has
been mis si d lor two or three months past."
Liverpool Cotton Market.
The following adv ire* were brought by the As.a,
dates! Liverpool, April 12th.
From a document signed by every leading factor
in New Urieaui except one, the total crop of cot
ton is estimated at a little over 2,000,000 bales and
recent letters state that the country is completely
bare of cotton. The several trade* eoiineraed with
Birmingham and Sheffield ar< in general 0o«k well,
!hough some masters are coiuptairinig of the lew
ncwxoi spangouters. i ne niauuiaciurrrs Ol ucds
are also wcil employed <m orders, and the ware
houses have been visited by sev* fai large buyers.
In Leicester, on the cunlrary, there is little or
nothing doing. A great number of operatives are
out of employment.
Yarns are dull of sale, and not much confidence
in their price. In Manchester, the purchase* of
goods are but scanty ami those only for the supply
of immediate wants. As the market is very bare
of yarns, with the exception of medium ennuis,
there is not much pressure on spinners or manufac
turers to make sales. Influenced by the uuaatut
factory state of trade in Manchester, consumers
have purchased very sparingly of cotton, whilst the
desire manifested by holders to sell, has been
greater than at any former pericsl this year, thus
imparting a very gloomy aspect to the market, and
enabling buyers daily to purchase on rather easier
terms, resulting in a decline of Id ui ibe ordinary
and middling qualities, and fully I in the better
description* of American, |d in Kgyptiau and Id
Surat and Brasil.
The sales of lh week, ending on Friday, are

All at once her hand was seen to neve ciiergeti
