Pride and p,riury.

Ihe very sristoc, aiie sad professional squad of Esniisnea attached ts WoodrnE ofice have stfos. ded m afnusenent, from time to time, by nsinua- aiag Ia half shy manner, that in early life we had soilewedshe trade of tailor. In the last paper shey conn out openly, and, with all tho pride of hsA gsag aristocFacy, tannt us with having been once % sngaged. I've had even been in such an occa. pation. ws should certainly feel rroud that we had Faised ousself to an elevation which the editor of the Dsmoerai must consider equal to his own and superior ts that of his professional employees, espe. ciay the scye-,crstef part. Every good and honest tailor, in our opinion, stands higher in the es,ima tian of ihe public than Woodruff or any of his yrojsss,oHsi ipp,.
 Bat is go happens that we were either un ueky CT iseky snoagh, ss it may be, never to have han dled any goose except the editor of the Democrat, or meadsd any breaoAes except those male by the trsacheryl "f Woodruff anu his squad in tho demo. cratic party. Consequently all the gibcs and wi,,i- cisms of the sistoeratic pres, fall harmlcss upon us
 As the editor is determined, however, to make capital out of the fact that have been mechanic, ws will give him, while in the humor, some facts to operate upon. which may aid him in coming nearer the truth, and 10 place little lower among the aristocracy of his office. Many years of our early life were spen, in weighing hiies, selling leather measuring bark for yard, and the aristocr ratio sci may no~ attach the gnominy to which, in their sxdHspt fasfes must rest upon all but professional gentlemen. How honest men must despisc this att tempt to reflect discrcdt upon man, even if it were not falsehood. for the occupation he ha. pursued With what scorn they must regard the malicious efforts of licensed beg.sry 10 reduce u, by such meass te their own degraded position They should remember that

The fnnrt at Ian Rnrrn.

Major Borand, says the DeRscr7t was the e1i- cjsHi and sueeesyd agent in bringing mp aud Vass-
 Ing through the Senate, the bill establishing the Federal Court at Van Barren. Take the Lions share of the honor. for the passage of this bill, if you choose. Major; but do not subiec; yourself to the charge, which is, that of robbing colleague of any participation in it. Where was Sebastian when il passed! DiI he speak for it Did he vote for il.
 We are informed by the Demoyaf, also, that there other bills of importance to Arkansas, which the Major carried through the Senate. We are not told what these other bills were, but we informed that they, we'll the court bill, did not pass the House of Representatives, because there was no body there, to call them up and get them through, We are Farther informed that different result is hoped for, after the Senatorial election is over! How unjust to his colleague of the House of Representatives Cannot that col league prefer Sever to Borland and favor his cleo ton without resortiug 10 corrupt to effect t
 Would it not be fair, honorable and charitable to attribute the failure of these bills, to the true cause, 10 the condition of the House, and the state of public business before it, at the lime these measures came down from the Senate There would be, it appears, too mach justice and mag nanimity in such proceeding for the Major s policy. In the management of his political cam Pagn he must have plots and counter plets, con- sPiracies and 'corruption fOuI' constantly before lis fellows, or else, in his judgment, the play is exceedingly dull and uupro6table.
 The bill to establish branch of the Federal Court at Van Buren, of which Judge Paschal was the prcjector, originated in the Senate with Gov. Fulton, and it was afterwards, for hres years, the object of tho especial care and solicitnde of Col. Ashley; and yet, neither of these gentlemen, even without formidable opposition to ii, able to get vot- on it. And for this failure, at re- peated successive sessions of Congress. did any one impate Regiect, mach less corruption, to either of those gentlemen. Why not extend to our Representative the same charity, for action of the House upon the bil! under circumstances, less favorable. than ever surrounded it, at any time, Tn the Senate7
