The true Democrat., 1855-08-28

democracy in the whole north since the pas sage of the Nebraska Kansas bill. And pray who has defeated them? Tho know nothings,
 in fusion with the aboliti9nists. Does that fur nsh a reason why a true democrat should aban- don the good old faith? No; rather the stron- gest reason why he should cling to it as "the mariner clings to the last plank when night and the tempest close around him." This state of things is destined to be reversed. The true. constitutional democracy of the north will yet vanqush the fusionists and the hosts of sms that combined to defeat them last year. The only hope for sound principles in the north is in the democratic party. We have never lost our faith in the sterling integrity of the men who could suffer temporary defeat for the sake of good and glorious cause, and who will yet rally the unconquerable democracy to their sup port-such men as CAss, DOUGLAS SHIELDS, DODGE, etc.
 Major BoRLAND's change of position will greatly rejoice his enemies. He owes all the political importance he has ever attained to the democratic party, and much of it to the present administration; and with no change in the ad- mnistration whatever since he accepted office at its hands, it is passing strange that he should now-turn around and give aid and comfort to its worst enemies.

Who is Responsible for the Riot

So asks the Louisville Journal, i,l spirit of hypocrisy that would have done credit to Pom tius Pllate after the cruciiction of Christ, and then adds:
 This is question which must be answered.. There is terrible responsibility somewhere, and the proper parties let them be whom they may, must bear it."
 Assuredly therd'is great responsibility some where and none seem to teel that responsibili- ty more than the reckless spirits who preside over the Louisville Journal. Indeed, 50 evi. dent was it at first blush, that their appeal Go arms and mob law and roting, brought about the bloody butchercs in the streets of Louis vile, that 1t was at once attempted, even while the riots were in progress to anticipate, forestal and operate upon public opinion in advance by taking possession of the telegraph. For this purpose dispatches were hurried off that ght giving an untruthtu narrative of the facts, and one marked, especial dispatch for the Missouri Democrat" was sent tQ this office, which we refused to print, and which we now ind was a copy Meratm ct rajailn of the editorial fabricutiorls of the Louisville Journal of Tues day morning Thus it sought surrcptitiou5ly to loist it's own version upon the public under the false sui5c of all impartial teie5 graphic sam mary.
 Who is responsible? the Jonrna may well ask; and ask it with fear and trembling for if the hand of rctrbutory vengeance does not vet flesh itself the conscience of those who arons ea the fierce passions of the people of Louis- vile by their incendiary publications, NC shall be greatly disappointed. Those who can call ont to a nla,,denei crowd in the following lan- guage: "Amercans, are you all ready? We think we hear you shout ''ready!" Wcll frcl and may Heaven have mercy on the foc" may cloak themselves with humility and seek to escape public odium hy d5gnisin& their crimes under the garments of hyuocrsy.- -H. L0,uS Democrat

Masonic.

Al . regular meeting of Hot Springs Lodge, No 62, A. Y. Masons, August 1ltb A. D. 1855, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted:
 WHEREAS, thas pleased the Supreme Archi- toct of the Universe, in the exercise. of his di vine wisdom, truth and power, on Tuesday evening, the 1th inst, to call our worthy and much esteemed brother, JOHN T. LANGLEY, from labor to refreshment, from the troubles of this life to the joys of that Lodge above where the wicked ceased to trouble and the weary find rest. He was a native of the State of Tennessee, and was made a Mason in Jacinto Lodge, Mississippi. Although he had recently settled in Arkaisas, vet he was well and fayo- rably known, and had endeared himself to the community in which he lived. Be it therefore unanimously
 Resolced That while we bow submissivey to the will of Divine Providence, we sincerely mourn the death of our lamented and worthy brother, and most teelingly sympathizc with his ailiicte and bereaved family. W hose loss is his eternal gain.
 Re8o7Ued That page of our record be occu- pied by this testimonial of respect for the vir- tues and memory of our departed brother.
 Res27Uel That this Lodge wear the usual badge of mourning for the space of 30 days.
 Reso7cel That the Secretary furnish copy of the abore preamble and resolutions for pub lcation to the Gazette & Democrat" and "True Democrat papers published in the city of Little Rock, and copy be presented to the family of our deceased brother

Three successive ones came-no answer! Then the director of the telegraph received despatch, and carry this yourself to the general, and repeat his answer" was the postscript to it. This was done.
 Pelissier read the order, tore it up, and turn ing upon his heel, growled "Ils m'embetemr' The English translation for this would be, in sense, mixture of Ego to the P and of don't bother.'' it is the highest expression of disgust in parliamentary language. The e.
 egraph director reported the reply. Marshal Valiant was taken aback; he went to the Em- peror, and in a round about way, attempted to convey to the imperial ear softened idea of the generals resistance. But this was useless.- After a vast deal of talk, the Emperor insisted upon seeing the despatch itself, and the minis ter was obliged to produce it, in no little trep- dation. He expected a 'scene;; but when Louis Napoleon caught sight of the unceremo- nious sentence, he confined himself to hearty laugh and 1 think I could name two persons of his intimacy to whom he has himself told the story.

cd by an agency, more purely governmental, and which would not interfere with or "regu- late" the monetary affairs of the people. The bank had assumed the function of regulator' of the credits of the country, and assumed to hold national jurisdiction over State banks; while it's own administration was based on the same vicious system which made the local banks so often a deluson and a nuisance.
 How Mir. Riddle undertook to perpetuate his character by the purchase of presses and the bribery of politicians is we'll known. With as much folly as wickedneSs, he contended that the bank had right to eXpend the money of the institution in a warfare upon the govern ment, its leading stockholder The panic, the distress committee, the suspension, the ''revo- luton, bloodless as yet,' the attempt to con- trol the cotton market, the immense specula- tions of the bank, followed. The energy and wisdom of Jackson and Van Buren were suc- cessful and the monster was prostrated; though, in its fall it brought down State credit, and cast the deep stain, not yet eradicated upon the American name.
 But though thus defeated, it managed to perpetuate its infamy by a new phase of cowup- tlon. Under the pretence of Improving the common schools and assisting the internal im- provements of Pennsylvania" the old bank was fe-Cnaftefeu as State institution, upon cOnul- ton of immense largeness to the State, and af- ter wellknown expenditure of money among the members of the two houses. But this con- cern could not corrupt others without becoming corrupt itself. There is a law that regulates the intercourse of vice, and threatens it with dreadful punishment, having their source of mental foulness.
 l he old mother of abominatons was rotten to the bone. Patches and paint could not con- ceal the internal ravagcs, and after waddling about few years in bloated vice. she rolled over and died.
 There were gay young politicians that haunt ed the house she lived in. What are they? What did they become?
 The story has a moral in it, which time has not failed to engrave deeply on the history of the country, where politicians may gather fu- ture instruction. It is, that no accumulation of wealth, however great, can hold an even con- test with a free people; that corruption cannot reach the masses; and that politicians who ally themselves in contest on the side of associated wealth and monopoly, against ideas of popular liberty, become suspected by the people, and no talents or virtue can outweigh the burden of this suspicion.

There are letters coming continually from different parts of the country, addressed to the post master of this place, from persons who wish to gain information aS to tho truth of the story in regard to there being gold on the Red Fork of the Arkansas River. We would say to all such enqurers that We have heard noth- ing from that source lately.
 We will probably hear from the Fort Smith company in a short time. When we do Gas we have said hcretotore,) we will give M the news.

Gone! Clean Gone!

Maj. SoLoN BORLAND senior editor ot the Little Rock Gazette and Democrat has taken formal farewell of the democratic party, in an editorial leader in his paper, and declares his future adhesion to the principles of the Ameri- can or know nothing party. We have exam ined with much interest the arguments which Mai Borland has advanced to sustain this new and strange position, and we frankly declare that we have failed to discover the usual ability which characterizes his productions. One of the main objections which he urges against the capacity of the democratic party for usefulness is the fact that the democracy of Ohio have adopted platform anti-savery in it's tendency, and that the democrats of Pennsylvania have passed over any alusion to the slavery question. If this argument has any force with reference to the democracy of any of the southern States, it has tenfold significance with reference to the northern know nothngs who have in every northern State except one or two, declared in favor of the repeal of the Nebraska Kansas bill. In Ohio and Pennsylvania, the very States where the democracy are so obnoxious to the editor of the Gazette and Democrat, the know nothings have gone bow-shot beyond the de- mocracy in their hostility to southern institu- 1 tions.

 Mrs. Qugby, No la2 Essex street, under date of November 23, 1855, writes that she had child which had been unwell for better than two months. She procured a bottle of Nj Lane's Vermiftge, and administered it. The child passed large quantity of worms and in few days was as hearty ever. Parents, with such testimony before them, shonld not hesitate, when there is any reason to suspect worms, and lose no time in procuring and admins tering Dr. NJ Lanes Vernifuge. It never fails and is perfectly safe.

BURNING OF A HAREM-A CoLstantinope correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce gives the following account of the burning of harem on the Bosphorus:
 Within the last few days we have been vi- slted by terrible fire on the Bosphorus, and the beautiful palace of Ahmet Fetik Pasha was completely destroyed by the devouring element The fire broke out in the smoking room, about 4 o'clock, A. M and owing to the prevalence of the high wind spread in a few minutes to the harem, driving the frightened women be- fore it, half dressed and unveiled The light of the confagration spread to Constantinople, a distance of five miles, and large number of people went out to see it.
