(tF The Gazette and Democrat, published at Little Rock, Ark, which has for some time past been know nothing sheet in disguise, has at length thrown of the cloak and openly renounced its democracy. This sheet has for the last ten years been engaged in fruitless attempt to diSorganize the democratic party of Arkausas, and has not, for moment during that time, been anything else than stumbling block to the party. It Is edited now by the mo- torious Solon Borland, one of those unfortu- nate appointees that have reflected so much dscredit on the administration of President Pierce. Borand disgracel the American dip lomatic corps by his ruffian violence whilst minister to Central America, as far as the bad conduct of single individual could do so.- We congratulate the democracy of Arkansas ill rotting rid of hrn.-DaNas HeraM, ISras.

The true Democrat., 1855-09-25

"The many virtues and christian death of your son, not to overlook the noble charity be founded, by requesting and obtaining from his father twenty thousand dollars with the ad- dition of suitable grounds for the establishment of an orphan asylum in his native city" (Peters- burg Va.) must be to you sources of cons"- lation beyond any earth can offer. The fol- lowing thoughts on death may enhance your estimate of this, etc. For these reasons etc. 1 ask permission, my dear madam, to dedicate this discourse to you" He had previously said that it was intended to offer consolation to the mothers afflicted bosom, under her, then, recent bereavment. The father of that noble son is one of the loveliest specimens of the christian character that ever saw. 1 have it upon creditable authority, that the magnificent donation mentioned by Bascom, is only about double the sum which he gives every year to benevolent purposes, and "when he doeth aims, he lets not his left hand know what his right hand doeth.' He will be offended at this ex- posture of his virtues, but he will pardon it, I trust when 1 assure him that it is made only to save his church from peril and her ministry from dscredit That man is a naturalized foreigner. If that man were candidate for an office requiring special trust and confidence if he were a candidate for any office-you would vote for the most abandoned rrofigate in the land in preference to him. Your vows to that effect are registered in Heaven. Nay, he was recently candidate for petty office in this city, and suppose Methodist know nothings, perhaps preachers, walked around that asylum and over those consecrated grounds, to vote for some competitor of his, at tho sight of whom religion would start and charity shriek.
 "But have we not right to vote as we please?" No, gentlemen you surrendered that right when you joined the know nothings; and am amazed that you made the surren- der; for when you did that, you virtually ac- knowledged yourselves incompetent to advocate any men or any measure. You can advocate the claims of no man, because you do no, know that you will be permitted to vote for him yourselves; and no measures, because they have none. A beautiful predicament for a freeman to place himself in! When a preach CT votes it is to be presumed that he votes con scientuously and upon principle; but you vote as you are ordered, and only according to man.
