Arkansas intelligencer., 1848-09-23

Our open and unconcealed dissatisfaction at the
result of the late State Convention, furnishes no
evidence of the truth Of the reckless assertion of
that print. The Convention was not s. full
and fair" one, and lis proceedings gave general
dissatisfaction to the democracy in this region of
country. But few of the great democratic
ties were represented in it many Of the dele
gates that composed it were sent by meetings,
where the democracy had not a fair and general
notice; and others sent without any notice
at all being given, by a few unauthorized wire
workers. The character of the Convention, in its
composition, and proceedings. was such, that the
democracy of the country did not feel bound to
support it. The resolutions 10 which the Banner
alludes, " whipping in the press, Prima
facea evidence, that the members themselves, felt
conscious of having perpetruted fraud upon the
party, and were not willing to risk the support OF
their nominees, upon the character of the Conven-
ton, and the merits of their proceedings and
was sufficient incentive to all free hearted demo-
Gratis, to rebuke their proceedings, by refusing TO
abide the decision Of that body, and compel these
supple wire workers 10 90 into fair COaUeniOn.
Such was the sentiment ofthe democracy, gen.
urged time after time, to withhold our support
of the nominees. Shortly after its adjournment.
did propose 90 another democrat. the instig,-
ton Of ohor democrats, TO become candidate
for Governor, in hopes that by pursuing such Il
course, we would drive those who had swinied
the party out of their rights, by intrigue aud
chicanery, into " full uui fair Conveniion.''-
The general feeling in the country justified
that time, in the ac:. We were earnest in our
efforts, and believed that the object named above
and 50 much desired, would be bcaccompIished and
we here reiterate that course was ndepen-
dent of the action of the wings, and without any
combination. secre: oropen, with them, whatever.
1t was open, above board, and without conceal
meni and purely w;ha reference TO the ultimate
and real triumph of the democratic party. The
whole OF our past life will bear testimony 10 this
conclusion. Any other construction placed upon
our oci is conjnredu up by those base, selfish poIi-
tcians. who have first attempted to buy US up and
failing in that would destroy US. We have be.
fore US a letter. written at Washington City, by
an ardent and intimate friend of Col. Sewers,
which bear the impress of having been - written
by authority" urging US to support :" Sewer and
Sebastian" and at the same tiras guaranteeing
that if we did so, IL uould not SET us 6ac& aRg,
showing most gIaringly lis base object, and the
means that will be sorted to, TO carry oul Ihe
selfshness of tha! clique.
When after due consideration, and becoming
convinced that we might be in error in believing
that would not be of ultimate advan-
take 10 the party, we suppressed our feeling of
luctant supports yet The files OF our paper bear
evidence in favor, that We bore ia silence our
Dissatisfaction and submitted to the action of the
Convention throughout the whole canvass. We
supported the nominees on the stump during our
county canvass, and voted for them at the cleo
iion. If wa erred that occasion, 1t is a matter
of regret US, but overt OF dsCrganiZ lton
cannot be iald at the door of the Intelligencer.
1t is impossible for traddcers to point out one
single paragraph of - whiTgish dsorsdniz-
ing tendency" In its columns. Ii has ever sup !
ported the principles of democracy from the be- /.
ginning of its political coreor; aud we hurl back |
mo the teeth of the miserable tool who ostensib!v
CONTROLS the Banner and its reckless correspon- /
dent the lie, if they dare utter the contrary. We
suppose, that to- support good democrat for an /
Office, coveted by Of the q" family" is - whig-
gsh''; and to oppose the aspirations of a presum-
ing. dogmatical arrogant set, who wish to mono
be - disorganizing.''
This is late period to bring out charge of
- whiggsh and disorgansing tendency" against /
US. If we were so &" whggish." why did the de- 1
mocracy in convention assembled in this county |
unanimously nominate for the Senate? 1t we .
were so - disorganisng" in practices. why .
did the democracy of Crawford. elect US by an /
overwhelming vote? 1t was not because they never |
heard the charge, but because they dil not 6siieUe
