The true Democrat., 1855-08-14
Acknowledged at Last!

tears, and even threats against those charging
 them with kaning to know nottingham, Bor
 land and Danley have openly thrown off thei
 himsy disguises and appeared in their true co
 lors. In their last issue of the Gazette, the,
 boldly espouse the cause of the know nothing
 and utterly repudiate the democratic party.
 This change was not unexpected to US, no
 was it received with any surprise by the com.
 lnunity. Though in their favorable notices o
 the secret order they would use towards it tht
 contemptuous language of "gioe eoea tie deci
 his due" every one knew that they were sold
 to that devil" and were his faithful and de-
 voted followers
 After expending two columns i'll misrepre- sentation of the democratic party and his old associates and in unmerited praise of the Ame- lican aAas know nothing, alias whig party, by
 way of justifying his somerset Borland makes this announcement.
 'Tn view of the foregoing objectionable things
 which we find in the present creed of the So- called democ,atc pa,tY as now organised and which have been interpolated among its original NOCtIluSS5 we ItII uO lOu3cl COUSSUI to DG member of 1t, and do not hesitate to say so'
 Borland then is no longer democrat He can TO onge, consent 10 be men,bey of Me denlo- c,atsc pa'ty, and does not Aesitate 10 sag go. He oas taken his final leave. Nor does he permit us to remain in suspense as to his future poll ties. He proclaims that his future creed is that of know nottingham He says:
 "WIere then, gre aoe to go2 This inquiry is answered by the AMERICAN PARTY, which We find, though almost full grown, like Minerva when she leaped into life from the brain of J ove, yet young, fresh from the people, vigorous, and untainted with corruption and, better than the rest, with political creed leaving out of view all the old issues which, having formerly divided preceding parties, were either long since set tied, or are efiete, and presenting platform of principle, upon which every patriot may stand. and feel that, in laboring for their establish ment, he is at the same time, laboring for the moral, social. and political welfare of his coun- try. Upon this platform We have taken our stand"
 He thus dofis his democracy al single dash of his pen. He is no longer democrat. He is now know nothing 4 democrat from principle, but only from the love of the 0aUes anu .fslses, lie continued in the democratic party only while he could make it subseryient 10 his own and his family aggrandi2ement. Unable to use it any longer for his advancement to of- flee, he deserts from it with facility only sur passed by the cool impotence with which he immediately appears as the soul and organ of the know nothing party.
 By this last somerset Borland has completed the rounds of all the parties in the Sae. It can now be truthfully said of him, that he has been Jo' and ogoinst every party and every man in Arkansas.
 He came to this State democrat and as the editor of the old Banner, sustained the demo- cratic party. This he did for several wears, with zeal for the cause and q bitterness against the very whig leaders with holn he is now acting, that at that time found no parallel n the annals of political parties in the State In l84G. when Woodruff established his paper (the same one now edited by Borland) and advocated the election of Ashley to the Senate over the la- lnented Col. Yell, Borand denounced him as dsorganiGer and leftno effort untiied to destroy his character both as politician and m indyi- dual. His abuse Of him was of the most per sonal character lie assailed him as private citizen as we'll as public man
 In l846, he started for the war, but before he reached Mexico he fell out with Gov. ell, for a cause so trihng that it has never to this day reached the public ear. He returned from Mexico the avowed friend of Woodruff the man, whom, above all others, he had abused most severely. With him he soon became in- tmately allied The Gazette, the paper he denounced as dismyani11ng sheet, and called a skunF's nest, became his organ. He himself became disorganizer and traye!ed over the State, electonecring for Preston, the whig can didate
 On tbe election of Pierce as President, he procured the office of Governor of New Mcxi- co, and the office of Surveyor General of this State as provision for his father in-law, until he himself could go to New Mexico and prepare a home for his family. He afterwards procur- ed the appointment of Minister to Central Anne rica, was absent on duty about eepp, monMs and received q salary to the amount of $17 or l8, GOO. He returned home enriched hy his ser vices as democrat
 When next he was heard of a3 politician, was a few weeks since--as q hnop n0thinq He has reaped all the honors and emoluments that he can as a democrat, and he has now formally the head of the know nothinss. lie is now working in concert with the leading whigs of the State to defeat the democratic party. He is now working with the men whom he, a few years since, denounced so bitterly, to defeat the very party which he then defended. Snch is his consistency and frmness! What confidence can any one place in him? How long will it he before he will desert and betray the know nothngs? Who can answer?
 First a democrat, he denounced in the bitter est terms the whigs and disor3anizcrs. Then himself, he attacked with cqnal bit terness those democrats whom he could not rule and ruin. Now as know nothing, he is waging the same bitter war upon every one who does not belong to his order.
 We have given only an outline of the career of the editor of the Gazette since he came as a citizen to this State. At future day, we will amuse the public with the details His record is most singular one--he has been all things to all men.
 0ET From the last Gazette we learn Bor lands position towards the know nothing par ty, but nothing whateveris said of the Juniors.
