The true Democrat., 1855-12-11
Democratic Meeting in Ouachita
 County.

Wesee by the South Stamp that the demo- crats had very large and spirited meeting. at Robertson's Meeting House, in Ouachita coun- ty. The people assembled in large mum bers and exhibited the greatest enthusiasm. Every thing passed off in the most agreeable style A line barbecue was prepared for the occasion and partaken Of by the vast assemblage, with the greatest relish. The speaking was excel lent, and listened to with the utmost attention. Judge Quillin, Mr. E. c. Warren and Col. E. A Warren were the orators of the day. As usual with them, they did full justice to the subject setting forth the great merits of the demo- cratic party as the only national party in the Unon, and showing up the Janus faced Know AothInSs, who are, at the north, opposed to the Nebraska bill-opposed to the admission of any more slave States, and in favor of tLe restora ton of the odious Missouri compromise, and at the south just the reverse: who are in some States oppc ,ed to Catholics, and in others, admit them to the highest houors; in some States prescribe foreigners, aud again, ill others, receive them into the order. The democrats seem to be in high spirits, having every confidence of carrying the county by an increased democratic majority. We doubt not they will succeed. W hen Know Nottingham cannot flourish in Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina, we know 1t cannot succeed in Arkansas
 The democrats of Ouachita county deserve the admiration of the democracy of the whole State, for the bold manner n which they have contested the ground, inch by inch, with their secret foes They have kept up their fire no bIy-they have kept the ball in motiou--nevcr declining but always seeking public discussion.
 At the democratic meeting, it appears that CoW. IHgtnaan, the railroad engineer was callel' upon for speech. According to the Herald, Know Nothing paper, he said, he was q whi5, but in respect to the present political parties, on the subject of religious tolerance he was democrat and yet, if democracy was what it was represented hy the democratic orators, he was Kao,0 Nott1y. He ropudiates Col Warrcn's views in regard to Cuba He stood where John Bell of Tennessee stood, and be. lieyed with him, that the Know Nothing plat form, in time, would be acceptable. The South Stamp says he opposel the acquisition of Cuba
 Capt. Tlghman must be poor politician, at all events poor southerncr. iIe stands with John Bell of Tennessee, John Bell opposed the passage of the Nebraska bill He cut him. self loose from the whole south and joined the abolitlonlsts in refusing to enact justice to the south. And again, Capt Tlghman would make but poor southerner, by opposing the acquisition of Cuba.
 The democratic party and the whole south are decidedly in favor of acquiring Cuba
 If such are Capt. Tilghmans views, the de- mocrats have no need of him. We cheerfullv turn him over, to wait till time makes the Know Nothing platform acceptable to him
 We regret we were unable to accept the kind invitation extended to us, by the democratic committee to be With them at their barbecue. -+s%~>+s%-
