The true Democrat., 1855-11-20

ooCeiO iOi tHC utu cause, WulGu DelltNC to be the cause of my country.
 That hundreds of honest democrats have been inducel to join from misapprehension of its objects, l have no doubt, and have as little doubt, that they will withdraw so soon as they are convinced of the objects of the order. Your obt serv't,
 L. c. HOWELL. For the True Democrat have been so much amused-if not enlight- ened. Mr. Editor by the comments upon de-. mocracy-the extensive letter correspondence and the remarkably genteel communications, etc.-contained in that par excellent and most truthful sheet, edited and governed by the consistent Borand-owned and printed by the refined Danley--that to be up with the times if not the question-I-not the great I! YeN- but just me- your most obedient-actually find myself holding under my speck-tickled nose, the fragments of an old gander-made and shaped into goose's quill! following the 'Iion of the day"-which is no less thing than a newspa- per iteming-and if my / aint as big as Yel's Athen "pity the sorrows of poor old man, , etc., - but this letter wrting-'tis a great thing and no mstake--so,
 Pass all imperfections by
 Forget small yOu remember. |!
 1 So, Borland-the simple Mir. Borland-Dr Borland-Senator Borland-Minster Borland | Apothecary Borland.-now Solon Borland the American champion-is part and parcel of what was once the property of Christopher Colum- bus-waS once,
 The pride of his rufles
 The hope of hfS jewels.
 The cause ot AiS scutfies-
 The sheet of hiS foo--els.
 But now--ah poor 'Lumbus. where's hy strength-all gone to Soon- twas once the Times < Advocate-then the Arkansas State Gazette-now the Gazette 6e Democrat-to- morow-what?-ah Solon the whig-Solon the burner of Gen. Jackson's effigy-then Solon the professed --editor--friend--or rather as he said himsell--tool of Sevier & J Johnson, enemy of editor Woodrutf-now So- lon the "Know Nothing''-enemy of "the Johnsons" and uce lOorser-friend of Woodruff -oh, Solon-aear consistent Solon-how we trust in thy firm, unchanging and unf1inching principl ples,-all things change save thee alone oh. Soon! hero of Grevtown, But look here Mr. Editor is this real bona fide letter?-hold on a while, and I'll hunt that biz gun of the self-styled Americans" and see if I'm going on right; ah, here it is-the Gazette and Dem. ocrat"-Solon Borland and c. C. Danley, edi
 tors and proprietors'' (wel let's see ho,C to write q letter, )-frst page. "rhe senior editor ha:
 left town. etc. Is that letter? oh! reckon that Is just "know Nothing notice-'tht seniors left town, and the poor fancifuly ,5ngec up and cdainel do,cn junior, was afraid the peo pie wouldn't think he was playing editor, thi week, and though his master Solon arranged all things ere he left still, Chris puts that little 'nota bena' ip to, the children say-"make tend"-but let's look again at next column "J udge Watkins letter''-oh yes, that's the letter to the Benton committee. We'll as didn't hear the Judges letter read-can't tell how those who did hear, liked it-but from the very extensive notice given of it here-it must have been heard and felt sonaeuhere The next notice, brings me to the last column of the first page-is only a continuation of that old familiar tune often sung by Solon-"the Post Office Again" If forget I wish you would ask the present post master to secure the personal serv- ices of Wm. E. Woodruff (Borland's friend } to assist him in his official capacity. You remem- Der Mir. w. was once in the post office depart ment himself and you know Solon never com plained then-Itell you things must be arranged in Arkansas, at least, to suit the great Solon- or else, how could this republic stand-should he rerchance turn against 1t? Now I'll turn the sheet over. Chapter 1st., page second "State Council of the American Union." An dre J. Hut, president? (president of what- our Union?) and prayer by Rev. James NJ. Vance. Iwonder what Mr. V. prayed about wonder if he thought he was in a church dis. charging the duties of minister of the gospel pleading for the salvation of souls?
 Column End, flor Gazette and Democrat "Hon. Mr. Ferguson has had the good luck to hand himself down to posterity etc" but no us, in looking further into this "letter" When : man Is fortunate enough to get as far as poster ity with "good luck" should hink-'twas "al right" The next letter will, I reckon, suffice me, for the present-as a host of criterions to 90 by. We'll here IS something; this fellow has actually commenced his letter like did mlne!-says "I was good deal an,used;;' but bless me, Le Is also much surpriscd;" (well, that's new touch. I'll write t next tims) but lets see what surprised" him-ah, he is "sur- prised at the great Sag Nchts rally in Saline. ? Well Sammy, that aoas surprising thing, want 1t? Didn't you think, Sammy, that you had old Saline right by the ears? but ah, Sam, you didn't come it qui,e!" Look here Mr. Sammy, you I've heard your big man, Col. Keith, tell about the old goat that got scared at the big boo! We'll Sam X or X Sammy, you find too big a boo! in old Saline She followed the example of the matter of fact goat. She upset her rider, and went hack to ''hrst principles" and no wonder you were Surprised" at the Sag Nichts rally in Saline. l too was there, Mr. Sammy, and we'll was repaid for my ride to and from the Hot Springs. "The eloquence of Warren," yes Sam, his was an eloquence that spoke to the heart of Saline democracy. "The Dutch band," the interpretation of Watson on the temporal power of the Pope, by Marshal Quind- ley, and the savory smell of the good roast beef and mutton combined; yes, Sammy, that's
