The true Democrat., 1856-07-01
Gen. Yell and the Real Estate
 Bank.

The editor of the Gazette asserted that Yell had assisted faithfully in the prosecution of the suit against the Real Estate Bank, and appeal ed to the members of the bar here to sustain him in the assertion. We denied the truth of the assertion and called upon the editor to pro- duce member of the bar to sustain him. The editor, in his last paper, repeats his former declaration that Yell did attend to the suit, but fails entirely to produce single one of the witnesses that be had called upon. No member cf the bar responds.
 The editor in his last issue goes farther, and says:
 As stated before by us, the fact is known, to the bar here that Gen. Yell did, the sacrifice of his very valuable practice in other courts devote his time and attention the bank in this court. This IS and any anxious to know the truth can do so by referring to the bar at this place..
 We now again challenge the editor of the Gazette to bring forward single member of the bar who will testify to the truth of this statement. We defy him to do 4. The let ters of Gen. Tell are in the executive office, written by Yell to the Governor, alleging, as reasons for his failure to attend and assist in the prosecution of the suit, his engagements to his clients His practice in other courts'' prevent ed him, as he himself acknowledged, from att tending here. These letters of Gen. Yell there are several of them-we can, and we will publish, if the Gazette desires it. They are official and on record in the executive office
 We now again challenge the editor of the Gazette to produce single member of the bar that will testify to the truth of his assertion, that Yell assisted Ito the sac,Ifce of his ve,,y valuable practice am other coauts," in attending to the suit against the bank
 The editor asserts more than he can prove. He claims for Gen. Yell honors and merits ne- vep earned and not deserved. He fails egregi. ousl y to make out Yell hero Yell's capital is borrowed and false. His very pretensions are a disgrace to him. Notwithstanding. he was repeatedly called upon and pressed by the Co., vernon to come up and assist Mir. Curran. he. as repeatedly, had au excuse for not attendng.- These facts are of record-both the Governors letters to Yell and Yell's letters to the Cover nor.
 We now challenge the editor of the Gazette to make good his assertion "Htat TeN did, to tie sacrce of hls very valuable practice m otAer courts, deoote his time and attention to the bank case' We challenge him to come forward with sing e member of the bar to which he ap- peals, as witness to sustain him. There is a wide difference between truth and falsehood. If the Gazette's assertions are true he can prove them The witnesses to whom he appeals are in Little Rock. Let him produce them
 (E-F Just hear how Maj Anthony's old bar keeper, who now pretends to edit the Gazette, avoids our reply to one of his cowardly ins- nuatlons. We are of importance enough for him to He upon us, but when he comes to notice our exposure of him, he gets off by speaking of us as a "thing," Rich is 1t not? Hear the old bar-keeper, he says:
 ''Wesay Gov. Conway is anxious to do this because no one holds, or plctends to hold the Mtiag. whose stands at the head of his organ. responsibe in any way, for any article appearing in its coluHns"
 Rolled in his mserably base effort to stir up the Know Nothngs of this city against us by falsely charging Us with having accused them of house-b breaking, he tries to get out of 1t by speaking of Us thing" This is an orgi- nal idea, no doubt, with the old bar-keeper- and what genius it betrays He magnihes us into consequence enough to run the risk of damning his soul to he upon us, and then, when exposed to get of tries 10 depreciate us as a "thins" Ha. hal ha, Columbus- Columbus, you had better go back to mixing
