But are we terrified Our party has been stripped Of the faIthlcsS--the dsofganizers are ar rayed in the opposite ranks, all IS we ought ;o wish it. and with one exertion, one more efI3r;. we will drive all opposition before us. By yoaf voice in convention assembled your nominee has been called to your service. He did not see this nomination, butmost willingly. and most cheerful 1 ly he has obeyed your call Al great personal sac yihce he Las taken up your standard, and eFea whiie we are writing, he bears il boldly into iAe thiekest Of the fight. 4 gentleman of the bright est order of taleHt of courteous manly bearing, and most self sacrificing, generous nature, nde- pendent of the party and the principles he adyo- cates R.

CARD.

In response to the card of Mir. Woodruff in the last Gasetes S Deaoerat, we have only to say, that we have selected three disntsresisd practical, and experienced printers, to measure the work and make out the bill for printing the Acts, in accord ance with the prices contracted for by Mr. " hite ley. If they inl that oar bill IS incorrect, we.w!i be as ready as any one to make Inc correction. In estimating the bill. an error may have been committed. bat we have no idea that 1t Is to the extent that Mr. Woodruff supposes, Tor upon an examination of his estimate, we find that h. has excluded much that .oarReyalen printers tsekHcIliy term fai, and which would leave the profession e1 ceedingly lem indeed, if printers were only allow t-l to measure theif work by the face of the type. In addition we have 10 say al present. that in giving the certificate which we did, that we did not deem 1t necessary 10 measure The work but simply to take the liens separately md make the estimate, and if the State has been oyerchaTge1, we have no doubt that aIr. Whitely will feel ready and willing to dedact the same from the amoant lae for printing the Journals.

IDeraaocrafs go to the Polls /!

The Congressional Election will be held on
 Monday next and this is the fast appeal we will be
 6abIed to make to you before the result for good
 Y evil will be accomplished. Before another
 Banner is issued, the democracy will have tri-
 mphsd, or whiggery aided ty renegades from the Iemocfatic party will have the asoendancy in Ar
 nnsas.
 Will you permit such an issue to be doubtful
 Then % se tAe Polls.
 Would you have Arkansas represented orhather
 aisrsweseated by rank whig under the disguise bf Union candidatei If you would not thea
 o to the polls. If you desire that the democratic honinee should be successful. and would have slected one who has known no variation from the land marks of democracy; fl you wish to be re- presented by man whose whole heart warns with
 evotion to Arkansas interests and southern rights,
 10 to the polls aad vote for Robt. W. Johnson.
 Do not sit supnety at home relying confidently apon the namefioaI strength Of the democracy in #ke State. Others may think tue same and defeat nay ensue, but rally every man. and let us show Do the world, that no assumed name can deeeiyeJ as, no traitors to the camp can betray us into *AN hands of our enemies. We nave a cunning, wily. double-face enemy to fight. The black flag pf Reorganization has been ra.sed and although ts folds float over squad coatemPt5iy small, they nsrch with the boldness of despera ion to whig Bupport. Chagrined and crushed already by pub &ic sentiment, nothing would be soothing to the bitter modification the, suffer as to witness de. |6eat of the democratic party. To accomplish this lend. whatever will contribute most to the election of Preston, the whig candidate for Congress is of 'eouEse unscFupuIously seized and propagated.-- EFhe basest falseh0ods. and yiest misreprcsenta. 'tons have been resorted to, and iadusEiously cir ealated for the purpose of poisoning the mrds of |the people, and destroying the popularity of the |Aemocratic nominee.
 It is your duty then to lei no ordinary ineonye- Zaisaee prevent you from casting yeaf vote for the |democratic nominee, and using your influence for |his success. Our enemies are already calculating |laEgely the advantage they will obtain from the nertns S consequent upon our great strength. and think they may catch us mapping as upon former occasion and steal in. To avoid result so fatally ruinous to your party in this State, let us once more exeort and implore you to go to the polls.

 Agreeably 10 appointment, the candidates for Con gress accompanied by tAe liaa $.

Eleven o'clock being the uiae set for tAe speak hg to commence, as t!.e haaf approached tie peo- pic who had collected on ',4c square in eonstdera- be numbers EepalIed tothe C9urt House. and took .ker stations n almost bgeatAlass silence Just at ;le hour Col.

 At the clese of Col Johason's remarks. ihe gal laR, Preston come forward in fall paaoply greeted by tbe hearty cheers of Ire old fashioned whies a few Of whom are preaching up the new fanged unnon doetrne, tho Union the Union aud nothing bat ;he Union. and most gallanlly did the Captain use hls lance under the hearty cheers for a sAogt tme of hiS devoted friends but as the ciappiag and eheerng sooa t5II thai they were greatly in tbe minority. the sound Of applause dted away hko The last eehl upon the car of tne retfeatne march of squad a4 q5sastan6ing th.s laim iaaEnYfe oi b,s party. tbe gallant gentlemen did honor to his cause, eaad 1ygld mol bat regret that he did n0t have better one he maufaly and witA much tact and talent pufsaed the even tenor of hls course, and n quite aa eloquent speech of about two hours tong, sad many things that pleased the syl4lss fl may judge from indications. for just at the close of theE ehieftans remarks, his party rallied and gave him all the applause they were able, and the ony thing they seemed to regret w4s that instead Of grand shodt they could ouly ra.se numbers enough to hummer applause.
 Next came forward the Hon. S Bar!aad who n a very afgamentye name, in speech of about an hour and a half loag, gave satisfaction To his audience wish regard 10 the coutse he had pursued as their Senasor lu Congress
 Tins was d proud day for the democracy of Sa- hue, aoth.ng could have been more traly appro prate and pleasing than Inc eloqaen; speech of Col. Johnson on the oecasgon, it wiil be long fe- membeted, and cherished by hls friends token of which they wlli tender him On tbe lst Monday H August.
 The Democracy here are for the Unsoa, and sgainS, oppression, ah and Inc ladies ,o1 are for " nion to a man" without oppression his being the case, think Col Johnson may saiely commit on their influence as he occupies the same posi- tioa with regard to the Unioa, and also ihat of a few gallant wings wAo are coga2anee, of aud know how to appreciate these facts
