Sebastian County.

Jenny Lind, Nov. 9th, 1855.
 DEAR SIR:-We had d most enthusiastic de- mocratic rally here on yesterday, which was well calculated to inspire the democrats of this county with new hopes. We have seen nothing so cheering for a.long time as the ease and ele- gance with which the true democrats and old line Clay WhigS cast side the business of the day, and rallied to the standard of the demo- cracy Col. B. T. Duval, the favorite candi- date of the west, for the next Governor of the State, after the meeting had been organized. made short, eloquent and appropriate speech, admonlshlng the democracy of the importance of organzng-to meet with frmness their mid night and dishonest enemy, that the victory might still perch upon the banner that had stood the test of time and never failed to lead to victory and our country's honor He then introduced Squire Boon of Franklin who for some two hours held the audience enchained bv his eloquence and his sound argument, and to- tally demolished Know Nottingham and tram pied it in the dust, in 50 much that all those who heard him and who had been bamboozled into the dark-lantern party, came forward and declared themselves from thence forward, dis solved from their disgraceful connection with the Kickapoos.
 Heretofore, the democrats of this county, strong in their belief, that it was impossible to overcome the strength of the democracy in this county, have left the Know Nothings to them selves, thinking them unworthy of notice, but the ball has now been opened and from this time forward the Know Nothings will have a hard time of it. Those soft sheled and not hard pated Know Nothing democrats, Sam Ed mondson, La,oyer Green J. Clark, & Co.,, who attempted to break up the meeting and so sig nally failed, will get their full dues before next August. The Know Nothings made conside rable progress under the guidance of Jas. P. Spring, Sam Edmondson and James H. Shaw. esq, three of their influential leaders. until Mir. Shaw left, and the democrats took up the banner of democracy and commenced wayino it over their standard; since which time the de- mocrats who had been beguled into their To H. ges, have been deserting them in manner that would remind you of rats retreating from burning barn. Look out for a democrat gain in Sebastian at next August The better part ofthe community of this county and Crawford, are fast becoming disgusted with Know Nothing ism and its piping penfeathered orators, and it will soon be numbered with the past folies of other times. Yours truly,
 TRUTH TELLER.

The association met at Aberdeen, pursuant to adjournment, on November 10th, and was called to order by H. M. Couch, president who ordered the minutes of the preceding meeting, together with the constitution of the association to be read; after which Col. O. II. Oates was in troduced, who proceeded to address large and respectable audience for the space of one hour, with his usual flow of eloquence, scathing and skinning the self-styled American party; fully meeting the most sanguine expectations of his friends, and exposing that same old coon which made its appearance in 184O, and which Chap mans chicken killed in 1852
 $. P. Hughes, K. N, having an equal amount of time awarded him, proceeded to squander his hour in labored effort to sustain dying cause; doing no littleecredit to his un- scrupulous resolution-and. at last embracing Ned Buntlln' as did the Ionian slave the ef- terminate Sardanapalus; they fell and were lost in the ruins of their own folly.

Col R. showed that the democratic in- stead of the Know Nothing party, was the true American party, by numerous documents, rendered the more interesting by his plain and able comments.

 Cairo and Fulton Railropd

Below will be found the proceedings of public meeting of citizens of Scott and Ne Madrid counties, showing that there are stror hopes Of the above road being built Passl through region of country unrivalled for fer tlltv, the road would provide an outlet for ur told agricultural wealth, and constituting a q rect communication from the northern lines travel to the riches of the Red river couutr its whole length would soon be occupied by h dustrous and thrifty farmers. With the amou tt business thus created, and the enhance value of the lands donated to aid in its co, struction, we see no reason why the stock the Cairo and Fulton railroad should not pro, profitable.
 As all evidence that the citizens of the sout east are in earnest in this matter, it is proper state that, at the meeting in question, there w but one man present who did not subscr to the stock of the road to greater or I- amount.
 We know the jealousy which not unfrequer ly exists between the people of different loca ties with respect to improvements that m. slightly affect ther interests but where a r. 1 pie evlnce spirit of enterprise calculated develop new sources of wealth, and add to |. prosperity and honor of the State at large N feel it a duty to extend what encouragement W can command. We hope this road may speedily built, and that those who invest in may be amply rewarded:
 At meeting of the citizens of Scott al New Madlid counties, residing in the vicint of the line of the Cairo and Fulton railros held at the house of Mr. James Trotter, Q the 18th day of November, 1855, pursuant previous notice, Col. A. HUNTER was called the chair, and ISAAC HUNTER appointed seer tary.
 Whereupon the following resolutions we unanimously adopted
 ! ResOtCed As the sense of this meeting th the said counties, respectively, subscribe stock in the Criro and Fulton railroad, fifty tho sand dollars, to be met and paid through u swamp lands of said counties, by a transfer the same, or the application of their proceed
 Resolued, furler, That in the estimation this meeting, such subscription may be leg mateIy made, and if made, would couduce the means of the said counties in reclaim their swamp and overfowed lands
 On motion of Mir. Morris Moore, it was solved that copy of the proceedings of ti meeting be furnished the Cape Girardeau Eag and New Madrid Times, with request th they publish the same.

TO OUR PATRONS S SUBSCRIBERS.

As the end of the year is approaching, and the first day of the new year is one of gen. eral settlement, and, therefore, with us, as with every body else who does an extensive credit business, crisis, we will take it as an especial favor if our subscribers and advertising friends will send us the amounts they owe us, or DOT ton thereof All monies may be remitted to us by mail, at our risk
 We believe we have the best paying sub scrlbers in the world. We have had occasion to call upon them very seldom, and have never yet failed to receive from them a prompt re- sponse. We hope it may be again so, in this case. We have gone to heavy expense to fit out our office in the most complete manner, having expended every thing we have made since the burning out" in reftting and com. pleting it.
 We have presented to our patrons the Mrgest and the cheapest paper in the State. It is much larger than the Gazette, the Know Nothing organ of this city, and yet while the Gazette's advance price is $2 50, and its price at the end of the year, $4, our advance price is only S2, and our price at the end of the year only S3. We have made our paper cheap because we desire to place it in the hands of all-the high and the ow-the rich and the poor-an emphatically democratic paper

State and District Conventions.

The Democratic Standard of the 9th inst, recommends the 3rG Monday in May, as sui table time for the assembling of the State Con- vention.
 Mir. Claiborne also thinks that the State Con- venton should nominate candidate for Cover nor, two electors at large, and two delegates to the National Convention. And that each dis trict convention should nominate candidate for Congress-one for eiector and one delegate to the N Natio nal Convention.
 The Standard says
 "As to the time when the several conven- tions shall be held-the 3l Monday in May for the State convention, will be early enough, if the national convention shall be appointed to be held at the usual time, J une; but if this is held earlier than the usual time, then we may hereafter prefer some earlier day, not only for the State convention, but for the district conventions. These are our views, and they agree to them There should be State cen- tral committee to appoint the time for State conventions. If there be none, then let us all agree speedily upon some day, and strictly pro- vide for the future. Let every democrat speak out"
 The Eldorado Union thinks the month of May too late, and suggests the first Monday ia March, as suitable time to hold the State convention.
 The reason of the Union for mentioning a day so early, is because the National Convention meets in May, and our delegates appointed at the State convention would not have time to reach the place of holding the National Con- vention. The Union is at fault in this, the time of holding the National Convention is not yet fixed, and will not be, until the meeting o the national committee at Washington city or the 8th of January next.
 The Des Arc Citizen, agrees with us in think. ing the lst Monday in May the proper time fo, the meeting of t!e State convention.
 The other democratic papers--the Stamp Traveller, Hempstead Democrat, Sentinel In tellgencer, Republican and Star-have not yet as we have seen, spoken out upon the matter As it is subject of much interest, we hope tc hear from them also. However as nothing definitely can be decided upon before the ma tional committee desgnates day for the meet ing of the National Convention at Cincinnati there is yet plenty of timo
