the more that he is not here to present and maintain them. On him the democrats of this district can heartily unte and it is very doubt fut that they shall be able to do so upon any other man. In that unity lies our only hope of success lies the only possibility of prevent ing Know Nothing from representing us in Congress, and adding to the hideous confu sion now wrought by them in that body. l most zealously, for myself and hundreds of others, advocate Judge Greenwood's re-nomi- nation, not so much on acconnt of his claims. or his wishes for rcnominatiom-if he has them r-as because he is the man who can most easily and perfectly unite our party; and I most ear nestly desire every democrat in the district to carefully ex,mine the chances that weigh in favor of Judge Greenwood's success. He ha; upheld the platform" promulged at the Yell vile convention, worked industrouslv for the benefit of his constituents, and the union of the party which, previous to the Yellvile conven- ton, unhappiy was torn by sectional factions
 In connection with this will here comment upon the action had at late primary meeting in Madison county. That meeting was thinly attended by democrats and influenced, as 1 am credibly informed, by one or two "Know Noth- ngs'' as we'll as by men umfjTeadly to Judge Greenwoods renomination. In their resolu- tions they betray garing inconsistency in en- dorsng the public acts of both Judge Green wood and Gov. Conway, and then giving them the complete "go-by," not even presenting the names of either as second choice, or in any way admitting that either had acquired any claims by these acts so endorsed. Such is not a democratic way of rewardng public servants 1 am unquestionably convinced Judge Green. wood is at this moment the choice for renomi- nation of four fifths of the voters of Madison county, and were a full meeting convened that he would be unanimously its first choice. To SC good democratic county as Madison 1 respect fully recommend that they hold another pri mary meeting ard there reconsider the resolu tions of the first, and thus let the true choice o Madison county be shown to the ensuing con- vention. Yours respectfully.

The Ex-Minister to Central

In the last Gazette, Dr. Borand said our charge that he disgrarefuly failed to make the treaty he was sent to negotiate was talse. He says he "did make treaty'
 At the time we arragned Dr. Borand for his failure, we were familiar with the fact that he had made treaty. It is true he did make c treaty, but it was not the treaty that was ex- pected at his hands. He had what he called a "roving commission" to all the States of Gen. tral America, and yet he only negotiated treaty with the little republic of Nicaragua-- This is the treaty he me ntions, and 1t was the one we knew he did make. He sent it to Washington city and it was rejected by Presi- dent Pierce, as entirely unworthy and insufi- cent
 What we stated of Dr. Borand's mission was literally true. (" He disgracefully failed to make the treaty he acas sent to negotiate"
 Our object in establishing the fact of Dr. Borland's failure was to present to the people of Arkansas, tho contrast between the results of the two missions upon which he and Col Se-
 
 present this contrast was, because Sevier's mis- sion was made an element in the contest for the Senate which resulted in Sevicr's defeat and Borlands election.
 Notwithstanding Borland used the fact of Seviers appointment as minister aud his receipt of tace7ve or fourteen thousand dollars, to defeat him, he himself, on the elevation of Gen. Pierce to the Presidency, not only accepted the appointment of minister to Central America, but actually pockcted the snug sum of t,centy housand dollars This shows Borland's con- sumate hypocrisy. What he censured in his opponent while eectioneering for an office he did himself on the first opportunity after his election.
 And as to the two missions, what contrast they present? Sevicr's mission was successful in an eminent degree while Dr. Borlands was miserable failure. Seyer received only twelve or fourteen thousand dollars, while Dr. Borland pocketed ovcrta0enty thousand. Seviel returned home and met the approval of the go- vernment and the people, while Borland receiv- ed and merited the condemnation of both.
 Thus close the two missions. While the one is honorable to the memory of Sevicr in the highest degree, the other is stigma upon Dr. Borland

Judgeship of the Sixth Judic;.,
 District.

Last week, we noticed the nom;nat;or Judge E. w. CULLEN, by the dtmocras Ouachita county, for the judgeshjp of the s, judicial circuit We also see that Ina. GEORGE CONWAY, through the solicitation, friends, has become candidate Eitbs these gentlemen would, if elected, doubl, give satisfaction, but as the offering of tbs both may result in the election of the Kr, Nothing candidate, we hope that one or other may withdraw.
 . We published the proceedings of the demoo tic meeting in Ouachita county, nominating recommending Judge Cullen. The follow. presenting the name of Judge Conway, clip from the Hampstead Democrat;
 "And in this connection we can but , the attention of the people to Hon. Geo. c way, who, through the solicitation of m friends, as well as members of the bar h. has consented to submit his name to the pec as candidate; and we humbly conceive if politics are to be made the criterion in election, the claims of Judge Conway U the democratic party are certainly paramC to those of Mr. Cullen, for he has always | a consistent and strenuous old line demo while he is we'll known to the commu here, being one of its citizens. In qualfcat too, we presume Judge Conway will stal good comparison with either of his conn tors; since he at one time occupied the bt on this circuit, and we believe that the rec made under his jurisdiction, and the decis rendered by him, will compare favorably those of any judge who has ever occupied bench. Again, we think he announced | self as early as any other candidate, and as nomination of Mir. Cullen at Camden brought about through the influence of democrats residing there, we imagine tn should have no greater weight with the de cracy in general throughout the circuit, the fact that Judge Conway was soIicte run by his democratic friends here"

The Platform of the Anti-Slaverv
 Coalition in Congress.

At a caucus of the abOlitiOn,sts and northern Kaow Nothings in the House of Representa- tives, 1t was unanimously resolved that they would support no man for speaker, who would not pledge himself to organize the standing committees of the House, by placing on each majority cf tue friends cf freedom, who are favorable to making reports on all petitions committed to them" Mir. Giddings of Ohio, introduced the resolution, and the follwing are what it requires of the man they support for speaker:
 "1. An anti slavery committee on foreign affairs, pledged against all measures and reso- lutlons identifying the general government with the institution of southern slavery
 Z. A similar committee on way s and means. pledged to report against all proposed appro- priationS in any way defensive of the rghes of property in southern States
 5. A judiciary committee which will render its decisions upon all contested sectional ques- tons against the south, beginning with the fu- gtlve slave law.
 4. A committee elections which will re. port against Whitfield, and in favor of Reeder, as the rightful delegate from Kansas, etc., etc.
 3. A committee on the District of Columbia, "uiCI; upon d pellIlOH to that eUeCt, Will re- port a bill to abolish slavery in said District
 6. A committee on territories, which upon a petition to establish the Wilmot proviso over all the territories of the Union will report bill accordingly.
 (. A committee on commerce, which, should the outside aboitionistS require it, will report a bill to abolish the traffic in slaves between the several States, upon the plea that Congress has the "power to regulate commerce."
 This is the platform of the northern Know NothingS and aboltionists in Congress It is the platform to which Mir. Banks, whom the northern Know Nothings are supporting for the speakership is pledged. Men of Arkansas read it, and tell us if you can tolerate it! Can you be Know Nothinss any longer?
 How different this Know Nothing platform from that adopted by the democrats in Con- gress. The democrats of the north and the south stand upon one national platform On the subject of slavery, which is the all-absorb- ing question, the principles of the Nebraska bill are their guide and platform. Who can doubt for moment which party the south will adhere to?

Great Britain has, by repeated and success sive treaties renounced all pretensons of her own, and recognized all sovereign rights of Spain in most unequivocal terms. Great Bri- tain now re-asserts her rights; this extends on the Gulf coast, and eastern coast of Ncara- qua.
 The interference of Great Britain, though exerted once before in the military occupation of Port San Juan del Norte, now presents a claim to the right of protectorate over the Mus quito Indians.
 The President adds: This government stea- dily denies that at the date of the treaty Great Britain had any possessions on that coast, other than limited establishments at the Balize: and he further states, that the British government sees no reason for interrupting our peaceful in- tercourse on account of these differences of opnlon, and hopes for amicable ad iustment of the controversy. He adds, there is, however, reason to apprehend difficulty with Great Bri- tam, growing out of the actual occupation of the disputed territory. This international diff hculty cannotlon remain without being under stood; and, though involving serious danger to the friendly relations which it is the interest of both countries, as we'll as their duty, to cherish and preserve. It will afford me sincere gratif- eaton, the President says, if our future efforts snail result ln the success anticipated before with more confidence than the aspect of the case now permits me to entertain.
 In regard to late recruiting by Great Britain, the President says: The traditional policy of the United States is not to interfere with beli- gerents; such being public right, in the United States, no solicltude was felt until parliament passed an act providing for foreign legion; it was matter of surprise, therefore to find per sons engaged in the United States in this busi- ness.
 | The ordinary steps were immediately taken for the arrest and punishment of parties con- cerned in 1t. The matter acquired additional importance by disclosure of the fact that the enlistment was presented upon plan devised by official authority.
 After stating that recruiting rendezvous had been established in the United States by com. pclty of British civil and military oAifegs, he says, he believes these considerations aiah. h'" lse of complaint were not mere casual occurrehles but deliberate designs, conducted by responsi- ble public functiOnares which impelled me tc present the case to the British government The subject is still under discussion: the result Will be communicated in due time.

pr. Borland'S Departure.

One Of the duties of public journalist of the present day is the chronicling the move ments of great men. AS the Gazette has fail. ed in this respect, in regard to the departure of the distinguished individual whose name heads this article, the duty of doing so devolves up- on us. We suppose our laughter, heretofore, at Dahley's anxiety to announce every little pleasure excursion, or chill, or toothache of his senior, that he might reap the credit of the au- thorship of the Doctors editorials, has in this instance, restrained him from making the pro. per announcement.
 Dr. Borland, on Saturday last, actually left this city for New Orleans. His departure was in the most quiet manner, unattended by the usual "noise and confusioD," consequent upon the movements of so notorious character- Indeed, 1t was by mere accident on the fol- lowing day, that we learned he had left
 The rumor current in town is, that he has gone to Orleans on his way to Nicaragua-at least, that he has gone to New Orleans to en- qulre into the prospects of an adventurer to that unhappy country. This version of the story of the Doctors destination is strengthen ed by the editorial in the last Gazette censur- ing President Pierce's refusal to recognize Gen. Walkers government and receive his Minister. The Doctor justly fears the Presidents refusal may frustrate Gen. Walkers attempts upon Central America, and thus destroy his hopes as an adventurer there. Hence the editorial in the last Gazette against President Pierce, en- couraged the belief that Borlard is not only looking to Nicaragua for relief from his trcu- oles here' but is absolutely on his way thither now.
 TO all this what says the Gag cite? Let us hear, Columbus, for the benefit of our Know Nothing friends They are all on the ou; y1,,e to learn the facts

Old Hickory.

In the last Gazette, in an article against Pre- sident Pierce, signed by Solon Borland, we find this rich paragraph:

 You wish "Old Hickory alive do you Doc tor? When he was alive, you burnt him ia e9i- gy. You appreciate Gen. Jackson's virtues now, but when he was living, and sitting in the Presidential chair, you joined the hue and cry against him. An! Doctor, we know well your brazen hypocrisy. By calling on the name of Gen. Jackson, whose memory is embalmed in the hearts oft the people, you hope to give some character to the unworthy party you are now supportingl
