If to profess and support tho principles of de-
mocracy, during ones whole life, be evidences of
pretended - democracy. we can be convicted of
the Banners charge. If the support of demo-
crats-opposition to the wings, and eXterminatng
warfare upon dsorganizers. be not true donDcra
cy, then we have sailed under false coors and if
otherwise, the Banner and its scrbbler have utter
ed base calumny.
Tho Inte7igencer since II dofTed lis neutrality
in '44, has ever been advocate of demo-
crocy. 1t supported Polk and Dallas in IA, and
now supports Cass and Butler. 1t never has sup
ported whigs or given coun!enance to disorgani-
zers yet the Bourbon" d Nasty at Little Rock,
sigmatizes US as a "pretended'' democrat; and
the democratic party, that has so long yielded US its
confidence, is cautioned against our influence
And why ? Because we support, for u. S. Sena-
tors, good and true democrats, othor than Sewer
and his kinsman. They have adopted a most sell
fish principle os the standard of their democracy,
and they wish 10 apply the same test TO other men,
members Of the party, upon the pain, in case of
refusal, Of being nailed to the counter spurious
democrats. These fellows would have us to Gd-
NIT that Col. Sewer is the . most talented demo-
crat' in Arkansas; and that for the preservation
of the party must keep him in tbs u. S. Senate
until he becomes satated, or until some of his
young kinsmen have grown up and prepared
to receive il from his hands. We deny that We is
the most talented man in the democratic ranks.
There Borond, Oldham. Sebastn, Royston,
English, and many others, democrats good and
true, Of equal talents, greater industry and energy
of characters; either Of whom would make a far
better Senator than Col. Sewer, who has grown
fat and Indifferent during his Congressional career
of 30 years. As TO the necessity of continuing
Col Sewer in the Senate, for the preservation of
the democratic party, it is an insult to the inte-
gence and spirit of the democracy to advance such
az Illuminating idea. What has he done il the
last twelve years, in 4 kansas, in maintajnance
of the party? Has he made one political speech
in all that time? Not one. What have others
of his family done What has Conway done
fer the party that ne should be lifted up from one
Office of dignity to another W hat has Elias n.
! Conway done for democracy that he should holda
mortgage the AUDITORS Office until he has
omassed fortune out Of It's perquisitos?
Gramercy to all such family doctrines. To
the winds cast them, with the. authors of such
insulting propositions, who so ignoranty presume
upon the docty of the democracy Of Arkansas.
We will teach them that there are talented. firm.
"a -s'''-'~es's ~ o,rtv 7rho are mot Of
tie family, who viii grace and do honor To any
station the people may fl to confer upon hero
and these men will be called upon to fl the Off
ces which have so tong been monopoised BY one
family.
We place much reliance in the principles
and virtue of the democracy to believe that all
the strength Of the party is cenlered in one man.
and do not believe that the election of Sewer is
essentiai to the preservation Of our party.
The Banner gang is hard pressed when it has
10 adopt such a Paltry resort, as the attack upon
our democracy. 1t is ona of its desperate s.rug-
giles to maintain lis waning influence. Our demo.
cracy--is above suspicion and cannot be effected
by the Banner and its hungry clique.
This last cry Of the Banner comes upon our ear
like the feint yeIP Of the hindmost hound in long
chase, whose nose is upon the bloody trail of the
spoiIs. bat whose bottom plainly tells him he can
not overtako the Stag of democracy, which is eav-
ing him long way in the distance.
