STILL THEY COME.

AIabama and North Carolina all right
 The Democracy Triuna phant The Hopes
 of Know Nottingham Scattered to the
 Winds.
 The news from North Carolina leaves no doubt of the election, by the democrats, of majority of the Congressmen Old North Carolina spurns the embraces of know nottingham and of all other northern abolition isms. She has wheeled into the democratic ranks.
 Gov Johnson is elected in Tennessee over Gentry, the know nothing candidate, by over two thousand votes.
 Gov. Winston, the democratic candidate in Alabama, is elected by large majority. The New Orleans Picayune says:
 "The election of Winston, (dcm.) for Gov ernor is concedel-the majority not ascertain ed, but probably by thousands. The Mobile Register claims the Legislature, too, as decided ly democratic, which is of some importance, as a U. $. Senator is to be chosen in the place of Fitzpatrick
 Out of five States, the know nothings, with all of their boasted strength, carry only Ken lucky. The democrats carried Virginia, Ten nessce, North Carolina and Alabama.
 Kentucky, an old whig State and tinctured deeply with abolitionism, has gone, of course, with the know nothings. She is the only southern State the know nothngs can or ever will claim.
 The whole south is against the know nothing party. Its transparency cannot deceive the Argus eyes of the south. It has been repudi- ated by the south and driven back to its north ern, abolition haunts whence 1t emanated. So much for know nottingham in the south. IS dead! dead! dead!
 The democratic party is triumphant-it is all powerful!

Encouraging News from Pope County
 Know NOthings DisbandIng.

We make the following extract from a letter dated 1Gth inst, written to us by all old friend in Pope county. We place the most implicit confidence in his statements:
 |" There have been som good democrats who have joined the order of know nothlngs in Pope county, not knowing, at the tme that the con test narrowed down between the old dcmocra- tic party and the know nothings or, as it really is, the old coon party. Such democrats will not be truants long, but will return to battle again for the principles of democracy.
 The faces of the know nothings here are vc- ry much elongated by the glorious democratic news from the old coon State, Tennessee. The election there of a democratic Governor rather staggers their faith in the lnuinctbihty of the "invisibes.' hey plainly see the baud writ ing on the wall.
 Tine know nothings have three councils in this county. The RusseIlville council 1 am credbly informed have disbandcd and surren- dcred their charter They were ffty-two in number. The know nothngs claim 252 mcm- bers in Popc-which is 70 less than the old coon party numbered. There are four withdrawals round about Dover, and five more determined soon to withdraw.
 We have goodly number of the old line whgs with Us here. Pope Is perfectly safe for the democrats in 1856. Respectfully, etc.,

Another State Boltins!

The telegraph advises us that the New Jer- sey know nothing State convention, which met at Trenton on Wednesday, the 1st inst, adopt ed resolutions repudiating the pro-savery plank of the Philpdelphia platform. New Jersey is State from which some converSatism and mo- iteration was expected but thus, State by State, the party which, but few short months since was so vigorous and promising, is surely and rapidly melting away. Every day but serves more fully to develop the stupendous failure to nationalize a party containing many honest and good men, but controlled by mercenary and selfish political trcksters, who have neither the confidence nor the respect of the community Louisville Democrat.

To THE FRIENDS AND PATRONS OF THE LITTLE ROCK FEMALE SEMINARY.-Learning the impression is abroad that MT. Pickett, the principal of this school, will not return, and that, in consequence, it will not be opened at the time advertised, deem it proper to say, MT. Pickett will be here unless providentially hindered. And in the event he does not come, the school will open the first Monday in Sep- tember, under the direction of Mrs. BARcUs, as principal of the literary department.

Pulash1 County, August 6th, 1855.

MT. GEORGE ERODE:
 DEAR SIR:-We have understood that you have expressed yourself disposed to build a steam Touring mill in the vicinity of Little Rock, provided you could have the assurance that you might get as much as five thousand bushels of wheat to grind next year; and if you will give the people of Saline, Pulaski, Prairie, Conway and Perry counties an assurance by the first of September, that you will build, and have in operation at your place near Little Rock, or some other point as convenient to them, by the first of July of next year, we are ready to assure you that they will bring to your mill, probably two or three times that quantity of wheat.
 The farmers wives will be very much gra- tified too, if you will put in good wool carding machine. Your friends,
 SEVERAL FARMERS.

Nor A KNOW NoTHING.--We publish this week a letter from JOHN c. PALMER of Helena, which we find in the Democratic Star of the 9th inst In this letter. which is well worth a pc rusal, Mir. PALMER gives his reasons for declining to follow his whig friends into their know noth- ing lodges He has united himself to the de- mocratic party and signed the constitution of the democratic association of Phillips county.
 Mir. PALMER is gentleman widely known in the eastern part of this State, and wherever known, is rcspectae1 for his talents and admir- ed for his generous, frank and manly bearing. He has long been particular favorte with the whig party--a man whom they delighted to honor In 1852, he was chosen one of the whig electors to bear the banner of whiggery through that campaign.
 But Mir. PALMER is not a know nothing.-- Scornng to follow the dark lante,n politicians of his party into their midnight concaves, he has openly, boldly declared himself DEMOCRAT.
 Wewelcome JOHN c. PALMER into the demo- cratic party. The accession of such a man as he is, is honorable to the democracy of the State

KNOW NOTHING PRosCRIPTIoN--It seems that the True Democrat is not the only paper that is made to suffer from the proscriptive prin- pies of the know nothings. One of the blanks in the know nothing platform is "mplacaJ1e enn1ity against the prevalent demorahzing system cf reaoa'ds tor political suJsovieacy, and punish ment .tor political independence" But it appears that this plank is only for shoao. Their practice is bitterly to punish all those who possess the "political independence'' to oppose them.!
 The following article from the Democratic Star in reply to the letter of Messrs. NenH Locke i. O., which it publishes, shows the "punish- ment' meted out to it, by the know nothings, for its "pohtical independence" The sentiments expressed by Mir. CLEVELAND, the editor of the Star, in reply, are manly, noble and patriotic-- We glory in his courage and dsinterested att tachment to democratic principles, and we doubt not the democracy will more than repay him for his losses, by their increased confidence in him, and by their liberal patronage of his paper.
 Patronage vs. Principle.
 Helena, Ark, Eth Aug, '55.
 Mir. J. M. CLEVELAND, Dear Sr:-You will oblige us by disseminating our advertisement in your paper-also, our subscription to the same. We like you as man, but cannot support the CAUSE which your paper vindicates. Hoping that you will view this in its proper light, we are

A MIsREPREsENTATIoN.- clip the fol- lowing from the last Gazette:

"Some five or six weeks ago, while the senior editor of this paper (the Gazette) was confined to bed of sickness, the Conway ohnson organ made sundry scurrlllous attacks upon him." etc.
 We did not make any attack upon the senior editor while he was sick. The public will bear us witness that we scarcely noticed the Gazette during Borland's illness. Our attacks upon him were quotations from the Congressional Globe, which convicted him of falsehood, and they were made in reply to his attacks upon R. w. Johnson and before he was announced as being sick.
 Knowing the. truth as we'll as he does, of course the above is aoiHfM falsehood. Bor- land is so hard run that he desires to place us in the position of having assailed him while he was confined to his bed. In his effort to do so he commits falsehood--he does not sticle to violate the truth
 Poor Borland! his sickness has not chastened his temper nor corrected his evil ways He rises from his bed petulant and. ill-tempered. Every thing goes wrong with him. The cleo. ton of Johnson as Governor of Tennessee has not contributed to soothe his troubled spirit Poor fellow! we sympathise with and pity him. Even his attack upon Gov. Conway's old moth CT, we are willing to overlook as the emanaton of crazed mind Ruined politically and mor- ally, he floats upon the political sea without compass or rudder. desperate adventurer, he dsregards the truth and even the sacred privacy of female character.
 Dr. Borland, we have often heard it said that the education of physician destroyed much of the delicacy of his sensblities, but we did not know that it also weakened his sacred re- gard for the truth. In this latter, we are char table enough to the profession to believe that your schooling has been an exception to the ge- neral rule.

MORE WITHDRAWALS IN ARKANsAs.-The following we clip from the Fort Smith Herald of the 18th inst. It is encouraging to know that many individuals, good and true, are withdraw ing from the dark lantern association. We pre- dict that before the next August election the know nothing party will be confined entirely to the majority of whigs who have joined it, It is awhig concern and good democrats cannot and will not remain in it. Even many of the whig party refuse it.
 Let every good man come out of it. Its oathS, signs, grips and such tomfoolery are un- worthy the bold, frank character of the Amc- rican

Read This '!

We, the undersigned, having been initiated into the order called know nothings at the office of Dr. J. II. T. Maine of this city, have become perfectly satisfied that the principles of said called order are antagonstic to republcanism and in violation of the constitution of the Unit ed States, and also in violation of our oJligations to the Masonic fraternity which teaches us ito respect the constitution of our country, love to God and charity to all men,"
 Having found that the order of know noth- ings, is not what it was represented to us, and believing it to be in opposition to good morals and in violation of law, and directly opposed to the obligation of true Masons, we therefore, publicly withdraw from and renounce forever our fellowship with said party known as know nothings.

Democratic Mass Meeting.

The Democracy of Hampstead county are requested to meet at the COURT HOUSE, in the town of WASHINGTON, on
 Saturday, the sth of September, to consider the propriety of adopting at this time such measures as may be deemed neces- sary to secure the harmony, unity, and concert of action of all members of the democratic party, who cherish the principles of that party as declared and published by the Baltimore Ma tional Democratic Convention of 1852. It is desirable that all persons protesting those prin- ciples shall attend--that all shall be present who believe they are the true principles upon which this Goverement should be conducted, to secure the advancement and establish the per manent prosperity of our people--and as ne- ceSsary consequence, to combat error and check the growth of all false doctrine, of whatever nature, whether it be the manly attack of a noble foe or the insdous attempt of skulk- ing enemy.
