The true Democrat., 1855-09-25

The Hon. Maj. Doctor Solon Borand the political censor of this nineteenth century, hay ing declared the democratic party efete and marched straight out of its ranks, fondly anti cipatins that the democracy of Arkansas would follow ill the wake of his greatness has disco vered to his inetfable horror that a grand mis- take has been made in his calculations, and finding himself alone in a desert of his own creating, it would appear from his irrascble conduct that he has become perfectly furious against everyboGy and everything around him. Like the wounded buffalo bull, he pitches into everything within reach of his excited vision not even suffering his oagn shatlo,c to escape a gousng as nstanced in his unprovoled attack upon Us last week, wherein he charges us with being engaged in "wild hunt after otfice." a pursuit which he has made the whole study of his life, until he has become perfect monoma- niac upon the subject; so much so, indeed, that he accuses everybody against whom he takes the slightest antipathy, with being engaged in the same business. Proceeding even beyond the bounds of honest decorum, he tazsely ac cuses us of reporting our own speech at this | place on the 9tEf inst, thing, we imagine, no man in his right mind would be guilty of, as we never even alluded, in our editorial comments upon the proceedings of that day, to our hay ing said single word. But suppose we had, would 1t be doing anything more than what this distinguished individual weekly indulges in?- He dld not go to Saline county and talk two 1 hours and a half at ratification meeting, and then return home and report in his paper that "what he said was attentvely listened to, and kindly received" etc, etc, and then soft-soap the citizens of that county for the "generous friendship they have always extended towards him." Oh, no! He is altogether too modest to do the like O. That must have been the work of tour junaor.'
 All at once this same distinguished gentle man has become peculiarly sensitive in regard to iyu,1ng the President, and declares his belief that Mir. Quindley did not allude to his heroic conduct at Greytown, as we mentioned in our editorial comments of his speech as "striking him. he would have to strike the President;'' and he does not think Mir. Quindley is prepar- ed for that. Doubtless not; for if he should be- come prepared as we'll as the honorable gentle man himself was with eighteen or twenty thou sand dollars worth of the spoils of office in his pocket, Mr. Qulndley, we believe, possesses too honest heart to turn Benedict in imitation of him and make war upon an administration which had conferred upon him not only riches but honors. Mir. Quindley did use the language we attributed to him in our comments, and ap- piled to somebody the notable epthet of being not only the hero of Greytown, but renegade. Who that somebody was is best known to the honorable Doctor himself, for, we apprehend, he would be unwilling to share the notable title of being hero, with any one. And, for the mat ter of Ms believing it or not it is of very little consequence to us, against whom he has opened the vials of his wrath, from the very evident fact that we did not belieue him when he declared the democratic party efete; and before the hon. orable gentleman is a year older, he will learn that, at least mine tenths of tue democrats of Ar- 1sansas did not believe him either, aohen he made that statement. As a matter of course, every one who does not belong, soul and body, to the Hon. Solon Borand and Christopher Columbus Danley & Co.,, they charge with being " cats paw," in the hands of ther superaors at Little Rock, whom they term the 'lousy aristocracy.' How extremely chaste in language man be- comes after enjoying few trips to Congress ant a ministerial deputation to foreign land? We are unable to cope with the honorable gentle man in this particular, not having been so sue cessful in the "wid hunt" as he has been, ant consequently not having enjoyed that schoolin! in the use of language which the possession o distinguished offices doubtless affords-judgin, from the ready skill in which they are dail, used by tour senior."
