1t seems so generally understood in Arkan- sas, that to make party or measure unpop- ular, 1t Is only necessary to say that belong to it that it has become almost legitimate mode of warfare to assail me, in order to render odious the party or measures that 1support."
 And yet, notwithstanding by Capt Pikes own evidence, it would be popular to assail him, when has either the Governor or ourself ever done so? During all the bitterness that has been heaped upon he Governor, in consequence of this suit, which he was sworn to prosecute, no reply has ever been offered and no retort has ever been made. Although it would have been popular, Capt. Pike was never attacked once in the True Democrat about this bank. Had we have chosen to do so, we could have avail ed ourself of the mode of rendering the suit popular and his cause odious
 We have not taken this advantage of Capt. Pike. We have dealt leniently with him. We have patiently borne all the attacks he has made and instigated against the Governor and ourself, with full knowledge that the end, when attained, would be our exculpation and justification from all the attacks that have been made upon us.
 There are one or two other points in Capt. Pike's letter that we shall notice next week. This is only intended as our personal justicaf- tion, and is already too long. We shall endea- vor to deal with Capt. Pike justly and courte- ously, but we know of no obligations which bind us to submit in silence to his attacks up- on our principles, our paper and our means of a EylihoOd

Letter from Saline County.
Benton, Saline county, Ark..
 Aupnst Both 1R55
70 the Editor of the True Democrat:

10 the Eaitor of tue True Democrat:
 Permit me, through your paper, to say that 1 have always been democrat, and have ever, from principel voted the democratic ticket; but from representations made to me by members of the know nothing order at Benton was induced to join their council last winter The object of the party, then as represented to me, was to suppress foreign influence, as exercised by foreigners and Roman Catholics, and being willing to lend my aid as an humble indvidu- al, to prevent any evil that might befal our government from that quarter was induced to join.
 The order since then, presents itself to me under quite different colors. 1 find that all Catholics, however truly American they may be, are excluded, and the north is abolitionized all overland that instead of the party allaying the thirst for office, and that the office must seek the man, and not the man the ofice," it is nothing more nor less than wild hunt for the spells, and to get the inns out and the outs in. l am bound to believe that the reme dies to be used to prevent foreign influence is worse than the evils complained of and the manner ofusipg them such as, in my opinion, no freeman can long submit to.
 The course as now pursued by the order, believe to be anti-American, ant-republican and contrary to the principles of democracy and of our most cherished institutions. was told at the time of joining, that at any time I wished to withdraw, l could have an honorable dis. charge. Outing my connection with the order l was treated honorably and gentlemanly by all, but soon after l withdrew (which was on last Saturday. l came to Benton on business and there in the open street, (wthout any pro- vocation on my part,) was grossly insulted by several of the most influential members of the order. So then if a man undertakes to exercise the righto of freeman, the heel of the order is upon him, and his character is to be immoat- ed upon the altar of calumny.
 would say to such of my acquaintances and particularly to my democratic friends, while you are freemen, remain free and have nothing to do with the midnight order, which when stripped its disguise, is nothing more nor less than an indomitable war against the present ad :. ministIation-a trap set by designing men of the opposition to catch the unsuspecting and use them for their unhallowed purposes against what seems to me should be their better iudg- ment.

headed by gallant, aspiring whig, aAas kno, nothing. But we don't find him followed h. one hundred for on the 18th inst, the Hon. ( w. Lemoyne, whig, a1ias know nothing, mad one of his hg efots at that place in the wayo a speech, and was listened to by large assen blaze of men, and when he closed his euloqt on Sam," announced that they would hold council, and desired that those who were no get Sam's boys" to withdraw from the room (church, ) and not much sooner said than dons the churchyard was filled with "outsdeIs," aDi when the council broke, the whole number mine whigs, alias know nothings, came out Then don't get scared, democrats, until we se we see little farther.
 At Russellville they had council of 52 mem bers; but few months since they became so much disgusted with "Sam," they surrendered their charter. That's what became of them But desperate efforts are now being made by Douer, or the gentleman there who has alwav led the whig party in this county "by the noser and a young man who recently came to tbs county, to teach us the ways' of know notb ings, to reorganlse the council here, but ". think they will be able to effect but little s, the former of them is little too well known here; that is his whiggery, or know nothingism an the latter is not matarahSed get and we ara not much given to running after strangers.
 At McCune's store they boast of 75 mem. bers, and we doubt it too But now we will count them as they come out of BiU Mc's bnt room. We'll there comes the old soldier. tbai, leader, who has done the fighting for the wb, party here for tN enty years; and there comS "Has been" ",oho can be elected to any office in 8 county, tor NO SMART MAN aOouM opDose b1os, n0ttaaglSna;;' and there comes that honest spok en old whig alias know nothing, who says "h Is good thing, we want to keep out foreign. CTS, put down Catholics, and turn these o1d dem. ocrats out of o6ice;;" and there comes eleven more, with one side of their faces as black with dust as the ace of spades" and the other side the same color There's not enough to get frightened at yet.
 At Dover, they have taken in few demo- crats, who are leaving them as fast by day as they went in by night. But now we see them accost Mir. - and his son, two democrats let us hear what they say: "Mr--, would you and your son like to join the AMERICAN PARTYH' "We know nothing about them.n Would you like to learn something about them ?" "Of course we would" "Wen walk to room with us' We see them enter and see the president or vice president preseu to them bible, saying, "take hold of this and be sa0ornn' "No, we will not be sworn, We thought you were going to give us papers, but we now see this is no place for democrats Come, Martin, let ns leave" And true, it was no place for democrats. When did any party ever attempt such advantages before?
 It is to be hoped that all patriotic whigs and democrats will preserve to themselves the right of voting for, or against foreigners or other in- dividuals at their discretion, without being sworn to obey the will of council though t confsct a0ih their personol preference."

That Second Letter from Gen. Yell!

The following piece of information we get from the Gazette:
 "On one account, we regret that Gen. YelPs letter to the Camden committee was not post poned about week longer; for had it been, we doubt not that we should have been able to pub fish along with it. another from his pen in re-. sponse to the executive committee of Conway, Johnson and Co.,, at this place, soliciting him to become the candidate for Governor, in their in- terest; despairing as they are of any chance to re-elect Conway, and casting about for some one to take his place. His response to such call as that, inspired by his indignant contempt for those who had made it and who, like Ethan Aliens poor devil, had not foot of land to give,' would have been the choicest document of this generation"
 Instead of being frightened by the above statement, we are anxious for the production of Gen. Yells letter to the erecutive committee of Coaaoay, Johnson 3r O." We not only wish a sight at the letter, but we wish to know who are that committed" Will Dr. Borland gra- tify us or is the above only one of the little tricks which he and Gen. Yell have learned from his whig associates? We want to see the letter. Let it come out. Dr. Borland give us that letter.

KNOW NoTHINGIsM IN NEW JERsEY.-.The New Jersey State council of know nothings met at Trenton on Wednesday last-one hun. dred and fifty members being present. Mr. H Lyon presided. After lengthy discussion resolutions were adopted protesting against the twelfth section (slavery) of the Philadelphia platform as not being part of know nothing principles. They also protested against the re. peal of the Missouri compromise.

0FT The desertion of the democratic party by our neighbors of the Gazette" as they were losing all favor with that party, and politi- cal ruin was about to overwhelm them, reminds Us of an analogous event in history, when the snakes in Ireland fell under the curse of St. Patrick. The story goes that they committed suicide to save themselves from slaughter"

CATHOLIC INFLUENCE IN THE UNITED STATES. Maryland, the first State where the Roman Catholic church gained footing, now contains eight hundred and seven Protestant churches, and only sixty-fve Catholic congregations. In Florida the Catholics early made settlement- Now there are one hundred and seventy Pro- testant and only five Catholic churches! Lou isiana was settled by the Catholics, who now have fifty five churches in the State, while the Protestants have two hundred and forty y-seven congregations. In Texas, the Catholics were the first sect in point of time; they now have theirteen churches, but the Protestants report three hundred and seven societies in the State The number of Episcopal, Lutheran and Ro- man Catholic churches are nearly the same throughout the country, but each of the three denominations have about one-elevenM of the number of the Methodsts, scarcely one-eighh that of the Baptists, and not one; ;tourtA that of the Presbyterians. The entire Protestant popu. lation of the country, compared with that of the Catholic, is about twelve to one.-Bosto" Transcript.

ms otate has ever been whig State. The most sanguine democrat scarcely hoped for 2 victory in it. yet it will be by the vote, that the know nothing party are not so strong as the old whig party was in the days of Henry Clay.
 MOREHEAD's MAJoRITY.-We arc not yet able to give Morehead's precise majority. The Louisville Courier says that, if the reported ma- jorties for Clarke in Flood, Johnson and Pike be correct, Moaehead's majority will be 3,869 and perhaps under that notch.
 The above is from the Lexington Statesman of the l7th inst, showing that the majority fol the know nothings ill the only southern State IA which they have been successful, is growing beautifully leSs,'' as the correct result is ap- preached. Ten thousand majority would have been something like an ordinary vote for the opponents of democracy in the "Old Clay State.'' Three or four thousand majority for the know nothings, who claim to be better Americans than the whigs themselves, must be regarded as an extraordinary defeat.'
 The following from the Louisville Courier does not give very hattering account of "Sam's'' strength in Kentucky. To appreciate the Cou- riers remarks, it should be remembered that it Is whig paper and supporter of Gov. More head, the know nothing candidate:
 "THE GUBERNAToR1AL ELECT1oN-MoRE- HEADS MAJoRITY.-The official returns from the remote counties come in very slowly. If the large reported vote for Clarke, in Floyd, Johnson and Pike be correct, Morehead's ma jority will be 3,o69, and perhaps under that notch. What a glorious victory; or rather what miserable organization that, with the most afable man in the State to head its ticket comes in with only three thousand majority Sams days are certainly numbered in Ken lucky"
 The following are the Congressmea elected It will be seen that the democrats maintain their relative strengh. The democratic party has lost nothing even in old Kentuck

 So 1t will be seen that even in Kentucky the only State the know nothings have carried, they have nothing to boast over The democrats have lost nothing there, notwithstanding the foreign voters were driven from the polls and not allowed to vote. The Kentucky election brings no consolation to the know nothing par ty. The violence by which it was won, causes them rather to be ashamed of it. We here no growing over the know nothing triumph in Ken lucky.

0T On the 8th inst, the Kansas Legislature passed the bill to regulate elections. It provid- ed that "any free white male citizen of the United States, and any male Indian who is made citizen by treaty or otherwise, over the age of twenty-one years, who shall be an in- habitant of this territory, and who shall have paid territorial tax, shall be qualified elector for all elective offices" When any vote is challenged, and he may be challenged by any other, he shall be required to take an oath to support the constitution of the United States, the Kansas Nebraska act, and the fugitive slave law

RATHER RICH-Gen. JAMES YELL says, in a letter received here some time ago, that there are two kinds of democracy in Arkansas-the true democracy and pure democracy; true de- mocracy are true to Conway, true to John on, and true to office. The General mo- destly declines tellingus iii what the pure demo- cracy consists, leaving us to infer, however, that it is Solon Borland, Christopher Danley and GENERAL JAMES YELL!
 The above is from the South Stamp. Its richness" lies in its truth. Gen. YeN himself is the centre around which Gen. Yelps demo- cracy revolves.
 As with Gen. Yell, so it will be found with all other politicians who have deserted the de- mocratic party. They are disappointed odsce seekers. Gen. Yell has been disappointed in his aspirations for Governor and for U. s. Sena- tor, and hence he is no longer democrat
 As an evidence of his allegiance to the know nothings, Gen. Yell has been required to go forth and make speeches in their cause He is another one of those stool pigeons of whom we have heretofore spoken. He is decoy to en- trap unsuspecting democrats. We predict for him, in the accomplishment of his object-a grand .failure'

Democratic Meeting in Dallas
 County.

In to-day's paper will be found call for a democratic meeting at Princeton Dallas county - oa the 15h of dtis month. Let all good demo- crats attend. Now is the time to work and to organize. The democratic party has ne yer stood upon higher an better ground than now 1t IS stronger too, than before in this State. The know nothings are only whigs in disguise but they are not so strong as the old whg party The democrats, few as they are who have joined are daily leaving the order, while many pure and patriotic whigs, scorning the oath-bound concern, have united themselves to the democratic party. The democratic party IS this day stronger than ever before in Arkan- sas, and it IS daily becoming stronger.
 The following extract we take from letter addressed us, by citizen of Dallas county: "We intend to form democratic associa- ton, and do all that is necessary to sustain the time honored principles of the democratic party The dark lantern movement, at one time, had the support of few democrats of Dallas county, but reflection and late developments have satisfied many of them that they had got into the aOrong JoD-they have withdrawn, and, some of their names appear upon this call for demo- cratic rally. l think it very probable that most if not all, of the democrats of this county who have united with the know nothings will as soon as possible, resume their proper places in the democratic ranks. Col. E. A. WARREN has an appointment to address our citizens dur ing our circuit court next week, Con Tuesday night). am told that he cries aloud and spares not"
 Col. l.. B. LUCKIE IN THE FIELD.-We are gratifed to learn that this true champion of democracy will meet Gen. Yell at Calhoun court house, and attend him at all of his ap- pointments from there on. Col. Luckie is an able debater, and he will give Gen. Yell his hands full. The following notice of Colonel Luckie, we take from the Pine Bluff Republi- can:
 PUBLIC SPEAKING.-We see by the last "Ga- zette" that Gen. Yell has made appointments in this judicial district, for the purpose of cr- Pdaining the principles of know nothipgism, commencing at Princeton, Dallas county, on Monday next and ending at this place on the 5th of November, prox. By the earnest soli- citation of many of his personal friends the war horse of democracy in Arkansas, Col L. B. Luckie, will meet Gen. Yell, at Calhoun on the 10th inst, and accompany him through the circuit, and we should not be at all surprised to hear that the champion of know nothingism had left the field in utter disgust with his new found phantom, when he comes to battle with such men as Col. Luckie, who is able, at all times and at all places to expose the worthless ness and deformity of the new order, and our democratic friends may be assured their plin- ciples will be ably defended and come out of the contest with treble brillisncy in the con- test between our advocate and his opponent.
