We have the pleasing intelligence that Jackson, the Dorr candidate, for Governor, has been elected, over Fenner the Algeline candidate, by about 200 majority. And though the Algernes have a majority in the Legislature, yet Jackson having pledged him self to the unconditional release of Dorr when he accepted the nomination. from the Democratic convention, he will of course pardon him, and set again at liberty one who has suffered long and uniustly for his advocacy of those great principles of equali- ty and freedom avowed in the declaration of Independence.

 IL IS strange that a man in one of the States of this Union, should have been imprisoned for making himself the champion of popular rlghts-ior attempting to extend to the poor as well as the rich the right of suffrage; but Il IS not strange that the mass of the people have spoken in their majesty, and power, and demand that the patriot captive shall be set at liberty May the day not be distant winch Dom shall again walk forth as free and as bold as his own opinions

 SOUTHERN INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT AND AGmcuITuRAr CoNvENrroS.-Wep publish to day m address by committee of gentlemen of Memphis, proposing 10 hold, at Memphis, on the lth of July next, Southern Convention, for the purpose of adopting measures for the advancement of the agri- cultural interest of the South, and the improvement of this section of the Union in the way of public works.

Ageneral agreemcntto grow less cotton would lessen the supply and increase the price, so that the planter could get more for a much smaller amount ol Cotton than he now gets for all his entire force can raise, and the labor thus usclcssy expended might be proitably bestowed in producing other articles convention of planters might come to some eener- al agreement by which this could be effected

 The advancement ofthose great works of Improve ment, referred to by the Committee, is highly im- Portant, and much may be accomplished in the way of arousiag, and directing ae attention of men of capital to those works suitable obj ,cts of enter prize, by the convention.

 Arkansas is deeply interested in the proposed ob- ects Of the Convention, and il is To be hoped that meetings will be holden in every comfy in the State, and delegates sent to the convention Intelligent gentlemen may certainly be found in all the counties who will consent to attend the convention A con veatioa on the plan proposed can do no harm and may result in much benefit to the South and South West
