this denial of every thing however true, and insisting upon proof is not the casual or inadvertent declaration of a needless and excited but honest politician, which may be repudiated and disavowed, Tn the calmness of reflection. By no means, That it evinces settled purpose, is evident from the care and elaborateness with which it is put forth, by the chosen leaders and organs of the company of disorganizers.- Thatit was premeditated, arranged, and adopt ed, as their settled policy, is equally evident, alike, from its source, and from the fact that it was simultaneous in its appearance, ill two of the papers of the disorganizers-the Ga zette and Helena Journal Previous arrange ment, and concert of purpose, are clearly manifested by these circumstances. In the next Van Buren Inteligencer, the same declaration will appear. Mark that.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Although, in our notice of the caumnies of the Van Buren Intel figencer, we stated in positive and unqualified terms, that we voted for VAN BUREN and JOHNSON, in lS3e, and not for WHlTE; yet I'm. E. WoodrH says he has not seen eur answer, if ye have made it; and still persists in charging that we vot- ed for the whig candidates in 1836 If he still insists upon proof, he can have il, by reference to the clerk of Clark county, where we resided and voted at that time. That the gentleman we voted for, for the legislature, in 1896, also voted for VAN BuREN and JOHNSON, and thus gave evidence of his de- mocracy, can, a'so, be proven, by reference to the same clerk.
 That Woodrug re.lly desires any such proof, or doubts our democracy, no one will believe, who notices his turnings and twist ings to pervert the truth. We feel under no obligations to furnish him any such proof as he calls for; and do so, only, to leave him no excuse for persisting in what he knows to be slanderoas impatations
 That we voted for EVANS, in lS42, instead of Judge CRoss, is true. But why did we do so' The reason is plain one, and, we have no doubt, will exoneratc us from all censure, and from all suspicion of disorgan- szation, in the minds of fair and candid men. Early in the year, when it was generally m- derstoods from the expressed wish of Judge CRoss, that he would not be candidate for reelection, wespromised MT. EVANS that we would vote for him, as did good many other democrats. Did I'm. E. Woodru6 not do the same, and write letter to EVANS pledg- Ing him the support of the Gazetie' Atthat time, Evans was considered as good demo- crat as any one-however much he may have lbeen donbied since. And when, afterwards,
The Arkansas banner., 1846-05-06

marked, that Woodruff attempted to explain away the objectionable features in it, to democrats and very much in the same manner that he has done in the last Gazette. But, he failed then to give any satisfactory for it. Has he given one in the last Gazette! Let those who read his statement, decide!
 Woodruff says he went more for men, in his con- nection with the Gazette, up to 1886, than he did for measures. We would ask him now, if he is not doing the same thing2 endeavoring to do so, if he can procure disorganizing press to aid him in the accomplishment of his long cherished pref erence for Mea and Federalism, against Democracy and Measures! Let the columns ofthe Gazette, for the last five or six weeks, answer!
 What claim does Wm. E. Woodruff suppose he has on us to publish any communication from him, in reference to our remarks about the Banner not reaching our subscribers regularly, after his abuse of us in unmeasured terms, for making the remarks? He did not call us and complain of any injustice done him; but became angry and abusive in the post office. This we presume he would not yen ture to do out of that office, or in our presence.
 The only parting consolation we have to offer Woodruff this week, 10 appease his wrath, is to
The Arkansas banner., 1846-05-06

Judge CRoss yielded to the persuasions of his friends, and became candidate. and proved to be the choice of majority of the people; yet we did not feel at liberty to vio- late our uoluntary promise to vote for anoth- CT. Although we were satisfied with the election of Judge CRoss, both on account of the merits of the man, and the choice of the majority. At that time, moreover, It will be borne in mind, the plan of regular noml- nations, by conventions, had not been adopt ed in this State Had such been the case, no one would have yielded more ready aequi- essence, in such nominations, than we would, or more earnestly have denounced an oppo- site course as disorganizing. Our course, since the convention system has been adopt ed, is in strict conformity to this declaration.
 But the charge of Reorganization falls harmless at our feet, especially when it comes from Wm E. Woodruf, who is now, and has been for several weeks, in close union, concert, and conspiracy with the Whigs, in editing, '.Raying for" and circulating thro' the State, the Arkansas GaaeHe, the recog- nzed organ of the Uhig party! This is notorious. And he-the rery tool of dis itseB-has the efroptery, in order to divert attention from his own treach- cry, to charge us with Reorganization He shall hear more of this

all his Old Federalism yet washed out by the cleans ing influence of sound democracy; and hence the people are unwilling to trust him any farther, in the important and responsible station of U. s. Sen ator Let the people alone and they will do right, is an adage which experience has established. Af- ter the stir, which Ashley conrived to raise by his documents had subsided, the people commenced looking at him as the same old Chester Ashley he used to be, when his name and character were so odious. He has been weighed in the balance, and is found wanting. There is one thing that will all ways sustain Gov. YELL: After all that has been said and done against many of our public men, charging them with all sorts of bad conduct, how does Yell stand? His worst enemies-and among them, Buck Woodruf-have not been able to charge him with single dishonorable action-either poHtt- cal or personal. Ever true to his principles in poi tics-so he is not only pure in morals, but above suspicion Happy might his traducers be, if the same could be said of them You may rely upon what have said as to the counties have mention ed-(always including old JohnSon)-that the peo- pie are taking strong ground against Old Ches- ter''

 Dear Sr-We have no news, from Eng land, snce my last, to change the aspect of our relations with tbat goverDment; and there is strong hope tHat no farther difficulties are to be apprehended, unless she is dispos- ed to hold on to more than half of Oregon, to one foot of which she has not even the color of a title. If such be her purpose, she will be met, as her audacity will deserve.- But we shall pass all our Oregon Bills, and the notice, in the hope that England, know ing her true interest, will yield that to which she has no just claim. / Our relations with Mexico, however, are not oi so peaceable q character, Mr. Shdell IS expected here in few days; and then we shall fully understand those relations, and how we are to act upon them. shall not be at all surprised to learn that Gen. Taylor has had brush with the Mexicans, on the Rio Grande. In that event, it is not unlea- sonable to expect that England will take part Tn the dispute; and that may lead to a rup- ture with both nations, at once
 send you the ssUnion" containing-the Bill extending jurisdiction, over Oregon', and the esolntlon of notice, modified in theaSenate and then amended in our House They will both pass, ln some shape, and meet the views ol large majority of congress.
 On the subject of Oregon, am pleased tc find but little party spirit prevailing. The opposition to the measure is more in form than Tn substance, and without being con- fined to either party.
 am happy to be able to say that we havs passed by large majority, in the House, tho lNDEPENDE TREASURY Bill; and i will be concurred in by the Senate
 For the next week or ten days, we shal be occupied in passing the ordinary appro. prialion Bills. Then we shall take up tho Bill for graduating Me price of he pubHc lamds-and pass it, hope. After that vii come the "tug of war' upon the T'ari6 This will, inevitably, consume much time But the Bill will be modified, and finally pass I have no doubt. Then it will be prope and expedlent for congress to adjourn; but a what time we may be able to do so, no ont can now tell--perhaps not before the mlddl' of July.
 T see our friends in the Northern counties are complaining about the want of mail routes and post offices. l have attended promptly to every application, from that and every other quarter, which has reached me. Ant to all further applications, made either to m, or my colleagues, am sure that prompt at tention will be given. Petitions should b' for s'New Roules, New Onices'' Sc.

HE HELENA J0URNAL.-Ouf late n0- tee of this little tool of Reorganization, in which we stated that 1t was under the control and in the pay of Col. Ashley, has excited its ''owners, editor, and publisher,' , 10 such pitch of rage, as to draw from them trade of coarse and vulgar invective which the veriest black-guard might envy, but which has no parallel in the newspaper press of our country. For such scunility, we have no reply; but leave 1t to its sure reward, in the disgust and contempt of every decent man who may chance to read Il.
 As something of a curiosity, we will direct attention to one position, assumed by the Journal. He says-s.No honorable man will make statement, which he cannot proue. [ If he does, he heS.n In several respects, this position is characteristic of the source from which it came It is ridiculous, preposter- ous and absurd. Not say thing, atho' it is known to be true, unless it can be proven! If this be so, there is no man in the commit my HoNGNSl Hutfllul dllu CONSCIENTIOUS ie may be, who cannot be convicted of false hood, almost every day of his life For, how many things does he hear, and see, and know, which he may not be able to prouet And if the Journal feel secure against the public judgment and popular censura, be- cause il may not be arraigned in a court of justice, and convicted of venality and corrup- ton, by. positiue proof, according to the technical rules of evidence, let it so abide Butthe repeated declarations of Col Ashley, that the Journal was in his interest and un- der his control, together with the sefvile course of that print in his behalf, leave no room to doubt that it is his organ, and in his pay. If our statement be not true, the falsity of it is chargeable upon Col. Ashley, for he was the first to make it-while the contents of the Journal afford abundant confirmation of it's truth. Even this clamorous demand for s'proof," However awkwardly and absurd ly made, furnishes the strongest evidence
 
 ter, whom it blindly serves, and awaits orders, from s.head quarters" before it dares to speak at all. See the Gazette of last week, and the last Helena Journal, for simultaneous denial of every thing, and demand for proof Who doubts that this troke of policy (wor- thy of its author) was dictated by one ndivi. dual-and thM individual the master spirit and expectant beneficiary, of this company of disorganizers If any doubt it, they eith- CT cannot, will not, or dare not see and think for themselves.
 Lest it may be thought that we have be- slowed more attention upon the Helena Jour- nal than such sheet is worth, it is proper to remark that we are writing for the specia benefit of the scheming speculators who owr and control, rather than any care we have fol the pettiiogger who edits, or the shoe black who publishes it.

VIM. E. WOODRUFF IN THE LAST GAzsTrE.
 We are willing to give Woodruff the full benefit ol ms ingenious criticisms In the last Gazette ms not the first time that he has had to resort to similar schemes and tricks, when he found him. self hard pressed, and in an unpleasant situation. clear himself of the odum that womb oshor,v;se justly attach to Linn.
 That the conversation in the presence of David Maxwell, Esq, was either secret or confidential is not true; because it grew out of what we consider ed then, public and political attack, in public office, made by Woodruff on ourself, respecting our course as an editor. He (Woodruif) undertook to state the rule by which he Was governed while controlling the Gazette up to .ls35-6 He used Tn substance, ,.the language we imputed to him, and we believe the very words employed by us in sta 'ins II in our last number.

MURDER AND SUICIDE, BY NEGRo.- By letter just received from the Post Mas ter, at Harold post office, Montgomery CO.,, we are informed of an extraordinary case of murder and suicide, by a negro man about 25 years old, the property of Mr. Jefferson Cunningham, of that neighborhood. It seems that the negro man, Peter, had for some time desired to marry yellow girl about 12 years old; but the girls mother objected.- On the 26th April, the white family being from home, Peter, having provided himself with razor, waited at the spring, to which he knew the girl would come for water; and when she came, he seized her, and severed her head almost entirely from her body, with the razor. He then ran of, little way into the woods, and with some strips of bark, which he peeled from tree, he hung himself.

EDITORIAL. NOTICE.

It will be seen, in our paper of to-day, that DocToR BoRLfSp has, again, taken charge of the Banner, as principal Editor He has done so at my request--a request based upon the hgh confidence i nave in his ability so do good service, and in his fidelity to the principles of Democracy; as well as upon my belief that such an acquisition to the editorial columns of the paper, will meet the approval of all who desire the welfare of the party.
 If have more anxious desire for the attainment of any one object, of political character, than another, il is to see the true principles andinerest of Democracy succeed once more, in Arkansas, over the combined exertion of mhigs and disorganizers; and then to be the herald of the glorious triumph, as the intelligence of its achievement shall wing its way from the Capital, to every section of the State. That DR. BoRLANp, is eminently qualified to contribute essential aid to that desirable objecs-that he is we'll SuisSu, III opiii.y duu uiopoSiuoli, to uiSptl the storm of disaflection, which is rising to i. disturb the union and harmony of the Demo- cratic party, need only refer to his former services, here, as we'll as in a sister State.- Those services have been gratefully ac- knowledged, and enthusiastically approved, by the people.
 While congratulate the Democracy o OUT State, upon this valuable acquisition to the effective force of their organ; take oc- casion to tender to him the feelings of COY dial good will, l entertain for him, individ- uafly, and an assurance of the high esteem Ill which hold him, as a true Democrat, and a gentleman of true and infiexible worth. promise him, also, my own faithful coop eration, in the good work of sustaining the Democratic party, by a strict and faithful observance of the ancient landmarks of true Jeffersonian Democracy.
