 Our exchanges contain fattering notices of the Hon. Rournr " JOnssox. and they hail with plea sure his nomination as tho Democratic candidate ios Congress. in Arkansas. These notices-not got up by him, show what ell men know to be the fact that in service of four years in Congress he has won for himself an hoaorabIe distinction ex. tending far beyond the limits of hts own State. They show his standing abroad and moreover viE- diease inc psopriety of the choice made by the Democratic Convention. in selecting him as the s,ssdsrd- bearer of our party in this contest, a fierce contest in which l'e is obliged to encounter all the venom. malice and injustice os the whig party. and the malevolenceof miss called democrats in our own ranks. But the State of Arkansas will again delight to honor him in despite of she efforts of these whiss and disoEganixers to defeat and destroy him. Wings and mis-called democrats, acting together have the will, but thank God lack who has been put forward as our leader by full, fair Democratic Convention, the largest ever held in the State. Their malice and vindictivness will only reeoil upon themselves for as sure as the sun rises and sets, these whigs will be disappont- ed; these disorganizers will be crushed and then treason condemned results that will be hailed with general joy. If to be a true democrat and pure patriot; if to be steadfast friend 10 Southern rights and interests, and firm friend of the Union as 1t was originally intended by our forefaihers to be and should be-neither countensncing aggEessious on rights, nor secession or disunion; if for the
 full service in public life and strict attention 10 the busEess of his constituents; if talents, energy, industry, and fearless conduct, we say, if these things can entitle man to admiration confidence and support, then indeed will Col JOHNSON be sustained by most triumphant vote at the polls on the first Monday of August next--then indeed will the voice of his constituents again call him to the public counsels. and the whigs be again re- buked and their siders and comforters covered with shame; while the press abroad is congatulat- ing the democracy here on the good fortune in hay ing such man as him as our democratic champion, disorganizers at home, actuated by private malice and hostility are not ashamed to affiliate with the whgs in vain and futile attempt 10 crush him. and turn over the State to the tender mercies of whiggery. But the failure to carry out this dia- bolicsl scheme will be signal, and seorn and con tempt will be the reward.
 But to the notices; only two of which we shall now publish, taken from two papers published at Washington city; where Col. JoHNsoS has ever been highly appreciated. "The Southern Press'' says:
 "We have repeatedly taken occasion to comment on the fact that m spite of all the abuse to which the faithful champions of the South in Congress have beea subjected ffrGm servile presses at home or venal ones abroad, their continents have sus- tained them tsiumphsntly wherever they have eho- sen to accept re- nomination. On the atker hand, the traitors and trmmers have either generally to encounter strong opposition, the chances of defeat, or to sneak away from trlal in which mortfica- ton and shame only would await them. This is most significant and striking indication of the real sentiment of the Southern people, even in those States that have " aeauiesced" in the spoliation bills The treason and the traitors both are daily becoming more odlous at the South; for the more closely the real character of that " Compromise" and the conduct of it's supporSe, are scanned and investigated, the darker do they appear under the scurtiny.
 l Among the "few but faithful" who battled to the last against that iniduitous settementE Ro- BERT W. JOHNSON stood conspicuous; and it will be found in the Arkansas Banner, that he has been triumphantly re- nominated"
 l And the s' Unonr says:
 1t will be seen that Col. R. W. JoaSsoN--so well known to us for his fidelity, zeal, and talents in the cause of democracy. is again the selection of bis party to represent the State in the next Con- gress. The fourth resolution of the series adopted 1 by the body declares that no nw party organiza- ton or Union tests are requisite in that State. This l IS pcs..ion entirely becoming to a party whose loyalty to the Constitution has never been doubted, and whose devotion 10 the Union has been attested by every prominent event in her history"
