THE JOURNALS OF THE LEGIsLATuRE.-As we have had enquiries made of us in regard to the journals, we will state that the jouinals of the House of Representatives were printed and distributed about the 1st of August last; and the journals of the Senate about the 1st of Oc- tober.
 They were sent to the clerks of the counties through the mail by the Secretary of State and will now be found at the clerks office in each county, where the members of the Legislature and officers entitled to copies may obtain them.

DR. BoRLAND.-It seems to us that Dr. Bor- land has changed so often, and been so many things, that the man actually forgets what he has been.
 In aspeech in the Know Nothing convention, the other day, he stated he was no lavyer Shame shame! Doctor, to make this acknow- ledgment after applying for and soliciting from the President the office of United States attor- ney for the district of Arkansas. The Doctor, we reckon, was like an acquaintance of ours who became a candidate for judge-he frankly con- fessed he knew nothing about law, but thought he could study it by the time court met,

Capt Pike and Gen. Yell.

When we alluded in our paper few num- bers back, to this brace of distinguished K'aos0 Nothing statesmen as aspirants to the office of Vice President of the United States, we scarce ly expected to see the great rivals so soon, "ock ho'ns' in party contest before the convention of their party that assembled in this city last week.
 When the business came upof electing de- legate to the national Know Nothing conven- ton from the southern congressional district of Arkansas, a member, Ca whig) arose and nomi. hated Capt. Pike. Whereupon, it was imme. diately suggested by another member, after ex- pressing the most abect fealty to the Captain, that the Capt. was not citizen ofthe State, and, therefore, his appointment as delegate from this State would be improper
 Resolved, That the Captain had been favora- ply spoken of for the Vice Presidency, and that it would be placing him in position of embar- body that was to nominate him for so distin- guished station.
 At this stage of the proceeding another mem- Der, Ca democrat stiD after predatory laudation of Gen. Yell, nominated him for the delegate The original nominator of the Captain, now more urgently pressed his claims asserting that his bare presence in the national convention, a0ithom opening has mouth, would be worth more than hundred common Know Nothings If he included Gen. Yell in the hundred we did not hear it.
 The election now proceeded, but we will not record the result The delegates from the Generals own lodge we presume will inform him. When the tidings reach him, it strikes us, the General will not feel so very sure that he has arisen upon the "ruins ef tue too oM parties" Candidly, General, honor bright now, do you actually believe the old whg party is dead?

Know Nothings in Carroll Comfy

At a recent election for sheriff in Carroll coun- ty the Know Nothing candidate was beaten five to one. Know Nottingham don't take very we'll up in the western part of Arkansas among the old line democracy or even among the old line whigs.
 The candidate of the Know Nothings was a highly respectable and popular man, we are told and his Know Nottingham alone defeated him.

EDITOR OF TRUE DEMOCRAT.

&r-My speech at Benton on the 27th ut, having been grossly misrepresented, have been obliged to write out the substance of it, and will thank you to give it place in your paper.
 l was not present, but learned that two of the speakers at the recent meeting of the Know Nothing council here, in allusion as it was un- derstood to myself, were pleased from nforma- ton to .impute to me the expression, "that nine-tenths of the foreigners in the country were better qualified to hold office than native Americans," the other "t that foreigners were better qualified to hold office than Americans. ;, l never believed and never said anything of the kind, as those who heard me very well know, and have only to say the information conveyed to the gentlemen was incorrect.- What said may be seen in my speech I defended, as ever will, the constitutional rights of foreigners against any illegal attempt to in- fringe them and nothing more.
 Yours very respectfully,
 s. H. HAMPSTEAD.

Let Justice be Done.

This week we give most of our available space to the publication of Gen. s. H. HEMrsrEAp's most excellent and argumentative speech made at Benton 27th of Oct. last It is document that we give to the public with the greatest pleasure, because it is better than anything we could write ourself and is clear vindication of our cause against Know Nottingham. As a debatar, sound and thorough, GEN. HAMPSTEAD has no superior in this State.
 The following letter from him explains the necessity he has felt of giving to the public an authentic report of his remarks. We heard his speech, and we are confident that he made no such assertions as those imputed to him. In this, the democrats of Saline county, who listened to him, will bear him witness.
 Here is his letter:

The Four Points.

In our telegraph dispatches OF foreign
news by the arrival of the Pacific, published
last week, we gave the intelligence that Rus
STA had accepted the four points proposed by
the allied powers. AS these points may not
be known to our readers, or forgotten, we
give them below:
lst. That the former treaties existing be-
tween Russia and the Porte must be extin-
guished, and the pretensions of Russia to
interfere beyond her own frontier abolished.
Cd. That the free navigation of the Dan
ube be secured.
Sd. That the Convention of the Straits
be revised for. the purpose of opening the
Black Sea to the commercial and political
agents of all countries and of destroying the
maritime assendancy of Russia in those wa
tiers.
4ih. That the protectsrate of the Greek
Church be merged in the common rights Sc
cured by the Porte to all her Christian SUBJ
jects.
Tie sincerity of Russia in accepting these
points appears to be doubted. The next for
eign arrival is looked for with great interest.
1t may bring the news of the final struggle
at Ssbastopol.

PROBABLE CHANGES IN THE BRITISH CAB
INET.-The New York Herald of Friday saws
that the post of Secretary of War In the Brit
ish Cabinet will shortly be offered to the Earl
Dalhousie, who is at present acting as Gov
ernor. General of India.
Dalhousie is chiefly recommended by his
energy and vigor ofintellect; he acts more
rapidly than other men think, and seldom
notices obstacles till he has surmounte d
them. Such man is much needed at pres
ent IN England. Another change, which a
break up OF the present ministry is expected
to bring about, is the promotion of Lord
Elgln, late Governor OF Canada, who is pretty
sure OF succeeding Lord Dalhousie, OF of en-
tering the c. 5net as the Colonial Secretary.
He is man OF undoubted ability, and is well
known on this side of the Atlantic.

From the Bcston transcript, January IL"
a y,orcs,nut osthe old scnoDi.

Mr. Everett, in his memoir Of the late Pc
ter C.. Brooks, Esq, just published IN the
Genealogical Register, states that Mr.. b :
abstained, as general rule, from speculative
investments; "his maxim was that the whole
value OF wealth consisted in the personal in
dependence which il secured, and he was
never inclined to put that good, once won,
again at lIazeard. in the mere quest OF extra
ordinary additions To his sHperhuity." He
never made purchases of reproductive real
estate, on a calculation OF future enhanced
value. lie never directly or indirectly, took
more than legal interest. He could have
doubled his immense fortune had he been
willing TO violate this rule. 1t is mentione@
that he believed, and often said, that, an the
LONG run, six per cent. is as much as the bare
use of money is worth in country. 1t was
another of mis- principles never, himself, TO
borrow money. What he could not com.
pass by present means, was to him interdict-
ed. 1t is doubtful whether, with single ex-
ception, Mr. Brooks name was ever subscribe
ed to note of hand. He Stunned every
transaction, however brilliant the promise of
future gain, which required the use of bor-
rowed means. Mr.. Everett we'll remarks:
'sThe bold spirit of modern enterprise will
derde as narrow-minded So cautious max
i'm; but the vast numbers of individuals and
families annually ruined by its non-Observ-
ance-to say nothing of The heaven-daring
immoralites SO often brought to light, to which
men are tempted in their too great haste to
be rich-go far to justify Mr.. Brooks course.
1t is highly probable that, in the aggregate
as much property is lost and sacrificed in the
United States by the abuse Of credit, as is
gained By its Legitimate use. With respec,
to the moral mischiefs resulting from some
of the prevailing habits of our business CON.
munity--the racking cares and the corrodine
uncertainties, the mean receptions, and the
measuEeless frauds to which they sometimes
lead-language is inadequate to DO justice tc
the notorious and appalling truth"
