DE3 ARC CITIZEN. S. C. MOR1IU, EDITOR. _ $IS ARC, ARKANSAS: WEDNESDAY,. .NOVEMBER 16,1859. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Memphis, Not. 12. After one of the most agreeable trips it was ever my lot to make from Des Arc to Memphis, we arrived here yesterday morning at 9 o’clock. The Gen’l Pike is a “capital boat” and her officers all that could be desired, both as gentlemen and experienced boatmen. Her capacity for Um accommodation of both freight and paaaengers, is equal to many on the Mis sissippi that are noted as “ the very best that float.” Not a little excitement has been created here since Wednesday proceeding from the Arrest of one W. R. Palmer, who is charged with complicity iu the late insur rectionary movement at Harper's Ferry. Ha was committed to jail, and has made attempts to be heard by writ of habeas corpus, which has been justly denied him, and he has been remanded to prison to await a requisition from Gov. Wise of Virginia. Palmer was committed in de Ault of bail to the amount of $2,500. A fnilmv tvhn crave* Itit ns John - ' o Birnside, proclaimed himself an aboli tionist ml Helena on the 10th. He was treated to a “ride on a rail” and ordered to leave the State. The rail has been marked^nd may be seen “on exhibition” at the Helena wharf boat, properly vouched for a* the identical rail that others of like prineipMs may expect to travel astride of should they visit that particular location. Both Juge Caroiherg and Judge Me* Kiernan refused to grant the petition of W. K. Palmer for a writ of habeas carpus, and the accused is mil retained in custody in pursuance of the decision of the com mitting magistrates. It is intimated on the streets to-day, that startling develop ments have been made through various letters found in Palmer’s possession. His Complicity with the Harper* Ferry affair is believed to exist to a greater or less ex tent. During his trial the feelings of the people were excited, and I have little doubt but that lie deserves much severer treatment than that which was “meted out” to Birnside at Helena, a few days since. Notwithstanding the low water, and the large quantity of cotton for shipment in the hands of Memphis merchants, you will observe from the reports of the market that good prices and a fair demand for the great staple is kept up by the business men of this magnifioient point of trade and commerce. The sales of cotton “yester day aggregated near five thousand hales— an amount exceeding any day’s business since the opening of the season.” M. ---- The Editor of this “ periodical” is necessarily absent this week on busi ness—but the paper is full of matter, such as it is, and if the reader should find any thing in it he does not like, he can just ■ skip it. -»»» 19* The Ouachita Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church met in Mon ticeilo on the ‘2nd inst. In the absence of the Bishop, the Rev. A. Hunter was called upon to preside over the body, who, says the Sage, does it with that dignity amiability which refiects credit on those who honored him with the* position. We have not yet received the proceedings. 19” A general mass meeting of the citizens of Sebastian county is to be held at Greenwood, on the 1st Monday in De Pjimlmr for tliu nnrnaco of fm-ininn n» 3 - —' i-r -- ---— Agricultural Association. We arc glad to aee this, and hope that other counties will soon follow suit. It is high time that the people throughout the State should manifest their interest in improving the quality of stock and agricultural products. And we may add that the way to accom plish this, is for every county in the State to have its Agricultural Association. --- Important Decision.—The New Al bany Ledger says: A question of im portance to steamboat owners and those sending letters containing money by them, has jusi been decided in our Circuit Court by Judge Biekneli. The case was this: A man named Sas« avers that he placed in the hands of the clerk of the Tisho-! mingo a letter containing seventy dollars. This the clerk denied, and Sass sued the owners of the boat for the money. J udge t>:_i II j. .1 i . —.wwuvn m^iucu viiiu mtr uoai was 1101 au thorized 10 carry letters containing money, and therefore the owners were not liable. Sf&“ ft is well remarked by the New York Post ibat Sir John Franklin has ac complished more for the cause of arctic discovery by his death, than he ever could have done in his life. Had he suc cessfully escaped the ice, and returned to £ogbod, curiosity about the Arctic regi ons would have been for the lime quieted. But his long absence and the mystery which shrouded his fate, have led to ex plorations numerous and daring. The (wenty-threo expeditions would not have sailed, nor McClure have discovered the ft northwest passage, nor Dr. Kane bnve penetrated to wilhin eight degree? of thp pole, nor a hundred other discoveries been made, had not Franklin died twelve years ago, on King William's Island. gjjy At the annual rneeliug of the j Grand Lodge of I. O. O. F. of Arkansas, commenced at Little Rock no the 2d, and i concluded on the.Rfh inst, the following officers were elected lor 1859 and '60 : M. W. G. 31.. Dr. P. O. Hooper, Lit tle Rock. R. W. D. G. M., A. B. Williams, of Washington, Arkansas. R. W. G. W., Dr. Geo. 31. Holt, Ben ton, Arkansas. R. W. G. S., W. E. Woodruff, jr., Lit tle Rock. R. W. G. T., J. D. Fitzgerald, Little Rock. * R.

Rev, G. Chaplain, Rev. T. R. Welch, Little Rock. C. W. Smith, of Des Arc, is Deputy Grand Master for this District. Aid tor Brownsville.—The Mem phis Avalanche of the 12th inst., in re ferring to the fact that the Mayor or Brownsville, Texas, having petitioned for aid from the Government, says, “last night it wns rumored in the city that dis patches had been received from the Sec retory of War, authorizing the enlistment of volunteers to proceed at once to the scene of hostilities. This is not so im probable as it might at first appear, as the Government as already dispatched all its available forces—a company stationed at Baton Rouge—to Brownsville, and all the regular troops are now stationed on the frontiers farther North, from whence it would not do to withdraw them at present. If it should be the case that the Govern ment desires volunteer companies to be eurolled for such a purpose, hundreds could be enlisted in Memphis at an hour's no tice." New Senators in the next Con gress.—The following named gentlemen will take their seats for the first time in the United States Senate, on the first Monday in December next, on which day the first session of the thirty-sixth Con gress will commence: Hon. Willard Snulsbury, of Delaware. Hon. John W. Grimes, of Iowa. Hon. L. W. Powell, of Kentucky. Hon. K. S. Bingham, of Michigan. Hon. J. C. Ten Eyck, of New Jersey. Hon. Thos. Bragg, of North Carolina. Hon. H. B. Anthony, of Rhode Island. Hon. A. O. P. Nicholson, of Tennessee. Hon. J. W. Homphill, of Texas. Senator Nicholson was qualified and took his seat at the special session in March last. -, Toughts on the African Slave Trade. The Constitution contains a clause pro tecting this traffic from prohibition prior to the year 180S. It was not only regard ed no criipe, but engaged in by all sec tions of the Union, more especially the Northern, and thought worthy of distinc tive Constitutional protection. No soon er, however, had the twenty years safe guard elapsed, than the descendants of our wise forefathers pronounced it piracy, enacted a law agninst the trade, and affixed the penalty of death to its viola tion. It certainly appears plaiuly that a mere statement of these facts is fully suffi cient to prove the folly and injustice of the law. It is a fundamental principle of criminal law that the punishment should not be disproportionate to the offense.— But here we see the African slave trade, n legal traffic, countenanced by the sacred Constitution of Government itself, instan taneously declared a felonv. This is! __ __i... . nn *» j_. l • _ •> " * |>IVV\ UVUI. TV IIU% VIUCO mio l . Merely that the law is an insult to the South, who claims slavery as her dearest institution, and pronounces the bondage of the negro as not only right but phi lanthropic. The South looks upon her slaves u3 property in precisely the same sense as her horses, or even any inanimate personal property. Will the South then permit herself louger to be dishonored by sub mitting to a law which denounces the traffic in that properly as a crime ? Will she idly allow her most cherished institu tion' to coutinue abstracted from all other institutions for the purpose of being in sulted and branded as au infamous felony? To purchase slaves in Virginia is cer tainly as great a crime in morals as to purchase slaves in Africa ; and if one be right the other must certainly be. Hut slaves purchased from Virginia are taken from as good masters there as they are taken to further South. But the slaves purchased from the African coast are taken from savage masters, who brand them, torture them, and at pleasure kill them; from masters of their own color, the most brutal on earth; from such mas ters they are purchased and brought to thiscouutry to masters who will take care of them, clothe them, feed them, and put them in reach of the gospel influence.— Therefore, to purchase slaves from the coast of Africa is more philanthropic, and of more benefit to themselves, than to purchase them from Virginia. Therefore, also, the law making the African slave trade piracy should be repealed. When the Congressional law shall be repealed, it may then become a question among individual States whether more slaves are needed or desirable. Missis sippi may think she has a sufficient num ber to cultivate her lands, and that more would injure her interests. Then let Mis sissippi pass a law prohibiting the intro duction of more slaves into her borders from Africa or any of her sister States. But Arkansas may think she needs more slaves for the development of her sesour ces. Then let Arkansas pass no prohibi tory law, but say nothing and allow ne groes to be imported until the wisdom of her Legislature pronounces that a suffi cient number have been introduced. So of all the States. Is not this fair ? Is it not just? Is it not our right.— [Helena State-Rights Democrat. -» From Litti.e Rock—Masonic.—Our city during the past week, says the "Old Line Democrat of the 10th inst., has been full of strangers. The annual con vention of the different Lodges have been in session, and all parts of the State have been represented.
