The burner presented to the country are
plainly and unmistakably defined, and with

administration of tbe National Government
as will restore the Constitution and give
a 1 . . .
peace, harmony and prosperity to tuc
country, and especially to tbe down-trod-dent
States of the Smith .
3d That it is our earnest desire and
intention to bring about these wholesome
and necessary changes by the peaceful
means of the ballot box; and all efforts to
prorluco a contrary belief, coming from
what quarter tbey may, are but tbe tricks
of interested partisans of a desperate po

of Presidency, In order to secure the
electoral votes of such States for the Rad
ical candidates in disregard and defiance
of the just rights of the people of such
States and of the. whole country.
4th. That it is our frank purpose now,
and has been, since the close of our late
civil war, to accept and abide by, in good
faith and without disturbance, the legiti
mate fruits and consequents of that war;
to yield to the Government of the United
States a cheerful submission and allegi-
ee, and to perform all the obligations of
aakeard ef powers, which at s
of rrrul
ol p., sera, WBJM are BuerepllUII
and daugeroaa abase la the bands1
of men who have shewn but too plainly
disposition to rale the people of this Stats
by the bayonet, and as we believe to at
tempt iho control of the arxt election bp
that means. We most earnestly rMOSH
meud to the ueuitle of tbe State and of
p. cially to our political f riouda, to give 04
three; hot rhlltai la Jhaid aahaw ni
their just rights.
8th That the Governor as this State,
having proclaimed it as the policy of the
Judical party to suffer no one to hold any
office, appointment or place in the State,
however humble, who will not lend his
aid and promise his support to that party,
and which policy he aad his political
friends are now rigorously enforcing to
effect the eicrciscs of the elective fran
chise, it is the sense of this Convention
that the people have the right to conn
(eract aneh policy by all lawful means, if
they Hunk proper so to do. 1 hut any
citizen of the State, therefore, has a man
ifest light, of which he caunot be lawful
ly deprived, to employ, or not to employ,
or eease to employ, auy person whatever
when any existing contract terminates
and that any attepmt on the part of the
Legislature, by auy pretended law to de
prive any citizen of such right, or to im
pose any penalty or penalties for so do
ing, will be in vi Utiou of the Coustita
tional rights of the citizen.
9th. That to obtain success in the ap-
proacuiiig 1 residential election, every ef
fort should be mi de by our friends to per
fect their organisation, and no legitimate
means should be spared to bring every
voter, favorable to our cause, to the polls.
To that end we most earnestly recom
mend to our friends to prganise at once
Seymour and Blair Clubs in every county j
and every District, with active canvass-1
ers, whose duty among other things it
shull be to see that all nur friends entitled .
to vote are duly registered and brought to
the polls, and that unqualified persons arc i

copartnership of States which constitute
our Federal Union, we do so with no hos
tile intent ; on tbe contrary we wish to
share its benefits and i:s duties, to rebuild
our waste place under the protection of
its flag; to re-establish tbe old era of good
feeling in our common country, to thwart
tbe designs of unpatriotic men every
where who seek to perpetuate discoid and
division, and to participate in the bless
ings as well as the burthens of the gov
eminent. '
5th. That we have seen with indigna
tion the complete overthrow of our late
excellent system of State government and
laws, and the adoption of others in their
stead, heretofore unknown to our people,
unsuitcd to their condition and utterly ad
verse to their habits, their wishes and
their interests ; and with this change has
come the election to high places of profit
and trust of men in most instances with
out character or q nulifieation, and not a
few of whom are mere adventurers from
abroad, having no interest in common with
the people of the State, and no fitness
whatever for the stations which they have
reached by means most unworthy and
disreputable.
6th. That the attempt by the Gover
nor ef this State, aided by his extreme
partisans in and ef tbe Legislature, to
nave himself clothed with authority to
appoint, organise, equip and keep on foot
a large standing force ef not. less than
l 6,600 men, to be selected and officered
and commanded by him, with powei to
any member of tbe said force to arrest
auy citizen without authority or warrant
from any civil officer or Magistrate, was a
measure clearly violative of the Constitu
tion of the United States as well as that
of tbe State ; dangeroua to the liberties
of the people and well calculated if not
intended, to produce bloodshed in our
midst : and as such it deserves to be re
probated by all well disposed citizens of
the State.
7th. That the measure subsequently in

The Murderer Lynched.
MEVPfUS, Sept. 28, 1368.
General T. C. Hindman, late of the
Confederate army, was assassinated at his
residence, ia Helena, Ark., last night.
The Superintendent of Police received a
uespatcli tins attcrnoou to arrest a man
named Robbins, a passenger nn the Hire vc,
who it is believed committed the deed.
Robbins was arrested and sent back. lie
ia from Springfield, Mo., and served under
Hindman. He stoutly denies being tin
murderer.

A special dispatch to-night says :
Gen. Hindman was shut at ten o'clock last
night, while suting iu tua tnulat ot UU
iMimiy amKiiijr. ilia wit uana wiuen
held the pipe, was carried away by the
charge of buckshot, two of which entered
Itia neck, inflicting a wound from which
he died eight hours afterwards. It ia be
lieved that he was assassinated by a po
hlical enemy.

Impartial Suffrage. Th N. Y. TPorW
says that in the name of impartial suf

whether the votes of tbose Mates are to
be counted as making up the total vote of
the Electoral College. If so, the total
will be 317, and 169 necessary to elect.
If not, the total will be 294 , necessary to
elect, 148. Tbe point seems to have been
left open as placing a discrepancy of elev
eh votes at the disposal of (. on gross, to
manipulate according as, in the light of
the election returns, the interests ot moral
ideas may require. If Seymour should
get 18 votes, it would be no election and
must go to the House ; if Grant should
get 148, ii would be all right, a fair elec

not substantiated by this fact.
Itittorr of journalism is one of the
moot influential branches of the pro
se of tnind. And yet, how seldom
o wo meet with tvnr reference in
our journals to this i in port ant anbject.
Our authority for tho facta we are
about to relate ia of a elartic charac
ter, and nnr readers will have no rea
11.00 son to doubt. Italy is the cradle of
newspapers. The war between Venice
and Solyman II, gave riao in 1563 to
tliecnstom in Venice of commum
eating tho military and commercial
i n ioi niatioii received by wriMen
sheeia, to be read at a particular
place by those desirous to learn-the
news, who paid for this privilege in
a coin, not any longer in use, called
gnzetta a name which, by degrees,
was transformed to the nowspaper
itself in Italy and France, and pa&s
ed over into England. The first reg
ular paper was a monthly, printed at
Venice. The Republic becoming
jealous of the paper ordered it to bo
no longer printed, and it was thereaf
ter distributed in manuscript. Editors
were first called mauutnUs (threaten
ing), becanse they spread about de
famatory reflections. Of coarse, there
were many intentional lies In Ihe ear
ly journals, a fanlt which is attribu
table much less to tho writers than to
the times ifcwliich they lived. Even
to this day v' the peasantry of Ger
many say of a liar, "ho lies like a
newspaper, a reflet. i tfr snumi
by no means complimentary to
the knights of the j:iill. The En
gliali established their first paper,
"Tho Mercnrie," in 1588, though it
was not regularly printed, being more
on tho order of our present Bulletin.
During the civil wars of tha Com
monwealth, newspapers were more
gonerally used, appearing under the
title ot weekly news books. Ihetirst
German newspaper was printed in
1612, and was called, "Account
what has happened in Germany and
Italy, Spain and France, the East
and West Indies, etc." The French
imitated the English in their news
paper system, and these two nations
with tho Germans, have ruled the
newspaper world until the within the
last few years, when the United States
came in tor a lion s share of the sov
ereigntv. On the continent of Europe
the primal object of journals was to
communicate military intelligence,
and to-day the princ pal and most itu
mutant papers are those wlncli are
called (OmciaI." Addison establish
ed a small sheet, mostly of a literary
feature, which was intended to be
read at the breakfast table. The
world owea him everlasting thanks
for tho Spectator, which woe the re
suit of the great authors labors. A
host of imitators succeeded Addison,
and our libraries now contain the
Tattler, the Adventurer, Rambler,
Idler, Bee and others. Ihen followed
the weeklies, and as science passed
along with gigantic strides the peo
ple demanded monthlies, such as the
