the worst and of course 10 tllC stIong est PoS sions of that maiority--to their love of eoun- try and free suffrage, and to the love Of pow CT and political influence. Never had dema- oopue wider scope in which to exert himself. Their prospects were fair and aattering- among the mongrel tribes of Mexico and South Alisc-;;ca, CT the uneducated boors of Europe, each of them might have led an army to the field. Among this people, i've trust, at least, it will take something more than mouthings about liberty, and frothy declama- tions of ultra mobocratism, to raise lasting excitement in land of the free and inteiiii- gent The Ithuriel touch of truth and sound argument will rout and diseomft all army of such bot house politicians.

 Let the North watch these men. Those who are willing to sacrifice minority aolo, will be equally ready to give up the North, when it ceases to be the majority. They fol- low the majority in the same way as the san- flower does the sun-except that they never follow a setting sun. They are not acting now from love of liberty--but only to exalt them selves by popular excitement | may ele- yate them for while--but their dominion will be but ephemeral. When the popular tide of excitement subsidies, it will leave them like wreck on the sands.

 Enough of these men and their motives. We wish to treat this question as merely an abstract one in politics. As to the hatchlings who have dabbled in the matter, we shall leave them te boot like young owls in the ob- scurity of ftheir insgnifeance. The question is simply one of political science and expedl- ency. It is simply to determine whether the Senate in State Legislature should be elect ed from districts of equal extent of country, or of equal numbers of free white males. It is plain and simple question-but one of high importance to us and to our ehildren's ehldren-for when we make for Us and for them a Constitution, we should say, like the old patriot and philanthropist, "esto perpe- tunt'

 We aver that the Senate should be elected according to the extent of country--that Se- natorial districts should be formed by equal extents of country, and remain unchanged forever. In succeeding numbers we shall give our reasons for this belief, as plainly, distinctly, and forcibIy as possible. We have no room in this paper to enter upon its discussion, but only to say, that we have al- ways been opposed to the ultra democratic principles with which So many are enrap= turetl. We have often declared in these CO., lumns, that we believed the Government of the United States could not exist without the Senate, as that Senate is formed and exists at present. Weask only that those who may read what we shall write, will read in the same spirit in which it is written-not as sectional partisans, but as men looking to the best interests of the whole of Arkansas.
