Hon. D. W. Carroll.

Pine Blug, Ark, Oct. 23, 1856.
 EDITOR TRUE DEMooRAT-Dea Sr: It wi be remembered by you and your readers tha this gentleman was, four years ago, elects Swamp Land Agent for the Pine Bluff distric which office he held until 1854, (two years when he was displaced and the present Knol Nothing incumbent elected in his stead, for u other reason than that MT. Carroll was a Eaitdt democrat and an efficient officer--a man of his. and noble bearing, and who, it was admitte. by all, was worthy the position he so faithful! and impartially filled; but he had one failin, (and glorious failing it s) the Know Nothin. Legislature of Arkansas could not tolerate, loved country better than o6ice
 Will not the Legislature again invest M. Carroll with the office he has heretofore file with so much credit to himself and satisiactiG to the people of Arkansas? We hope it VI be done, for we know we speak the sentimeH of the people of this county, especially ' democrats, when we say he is their choice ov any other man in the State.
 Mir. Mills, the present incumbent, is an h. norable, high-toned gentleman, esteemed all and worthy the friendship of every soa man, but he will not, 1 understand, be a caut' date for the office; nor could he, under the ec cumstances, expect it did he desire it.
 Yours, JEFFERSON

Southerners, Now Show your Power and
 your Sense of Right!

Now is the time. Let every citizen of the South go to the polls, on Tuesday neat, and sus- tain the party and the candidates who are the friends of the South. Let them go and vote for James Buchanan, who has, for series of more than thirty years of public service, uni formly supported and protected southern rights and interests. Let them go to the polls and show to northern fanatics that southern nsti- tutions cannot be assailed, or southern honor impeached, with impunity. Let them show unmstakably to their northern friends and ene- mics too, that they have both the power and the inclination to reward the one and to crush the other. Let this be done in an appreciable, signal manner, and, for the future, our rights will be respected and our peace and tranquility undisturbed.
 Remember then, men of the South, Tuesday aert, go to the polls and uphold the right. It requires but day at your hands-give one day toyour country. Not man can be spared every vote is needed. A meagre majority will never do-that betrays too much of doubt ing and indifference. In unanimity-in large majorities there is exhibited a high resolve that carries with them, always, an irresistible power. Go to the polls and vote and you will roll up a majority for Buchanan and Breckinrdge that will prove to the world that the rights of the South are not to be tempered with-arc not to be assailed.

Pennsylvania and Indiana. all right--. Bu.
 chanan and Breckinridge's election cer.
 tain-..The Union safe...The Fusion rOut.
 ed-.-The Democracy carries the day. as
 usual.
 The election in Pennsylvania has resulted in democratic victory by majority of from five to seven thousand votes The democrats have gained also eight or teD and probably more, members to Congress- This victory is en- hanced in the estimation of southern men by the fact that it is victory over the fused and combined forces of the black republicans and Know Nothings. All honor to the democracy of Pennsylvania. They are true to the nation al sentiment of the country-the principles of the Kansas N ebraska act
 In Ohio, the republican State ticket is elected of course, but the democrats have made i'm mense gains-gaining eight or ten members of Congress. Hurrah! for the noble democracy of Ohio. Indiana has gone overwhelmingly dem- ocratic. The whole democratic State ticket is elected. Willard is elected Governor by 10000 majority, and the democrats have elected eight out of the eleven members to Consress-a gain of five or six members A thousand gups for the living and invincble democracy of the old Hoosier State. Our rooster crows over these victories with hearty good will. The Union is safe-the election of Buchanan and Breck- inridge is secured. It only remains for the south, by union and full turn out, to swell the triumphant vote of the great national de- mocratic party.

A Base Lie Nailed.

There is no doubt but the Know Nothigns are preparing to perpetrate the most damning frauds at the Presidential election in Kentucky. Their every movement shows it; the "stop thief" cry of the Journal attests it; and the i'm mense corruption fund clinches it. But the organ has ventured to prove little too much. It said yesterday morning that the number of men already imported into the State by the
 democrats is Eat least six thousand, and that it will be increased by hundreds, every day, until the election" This absurd lie is really told, in face of the notorious fact that the de- mocrats do not need single additional voter to enable them to carry Kentucky, while they do need every man they have at the North
 where they are engaged in fierce and brave fight against the black republican. But few figures will expose the atrocity of the lie.-- Voters could not be brought here, kept until election, and their time and expenses paid, for a cent less than thirty dollars for each man. Ten thousand, the number designated by the Journal, would consequently cost the handsome little aggregate of three Hundred thousand dollars, ($3OOOOO). Is there man in the State, three removes from diocy, that can swallow such a monstrous bricaton?-LouisuHe Courier

The Crime against the People, in
 CraW ford.

Disclaiming any intention to mpute to the Know Nothng party, as party, the perpetra- ton of the crime of altering the ballots in Craw- ford, we wish to give our readers few refec. tons on the subject We have always regard ed even the existence of such party in this free country, as striking evidence of the de- generacy of the times. When freemen, in a land of liberty, night after night, consent to sneak into the culverts and dark places, to con- coct political schemes, they surrender the prou- dest prerogatives of FREE MEN. In this coun- try, the people have right to form and hon estly express their opinions, upon all political subjects, and no one dare molest them, or make them afraid. Therefore party who conceal their existence, and go down into dark places for political effect, purposely shun the light, because their deeds are evil. Not only this, but the progress of this party shows its demor- alizing and dangerous effects, in every com munlty where it has existed. Who ever heard of riots and wholesale butchery and burning of men, wolnen and children, unth the fierce, pro- scriptve, and sneakiug Sum" rallied his de- voices in the dark caverns of the earth. Who ever, before his advent, heard of destroying ballot boxes, and burning poll books, as a com mon occurrence? No one, until now-except in one solitary instance, (which some of our readers may remember,) ever heard oi the de- struction or altering Of ballots in Arkansas.
 The track of Sam has been mark ed by blood, arson, murder and destroying ballots, his ord- nary means to force his way into office. The occurrence is but the legitimate offspring of the corrupting doctrines of that party, and we trust that it's very name will be unheard in our land in short time Loaded with sin let Sam sink into forgotten grave, unhonored, unsung and --detested. We have always been surprised at the number of honorable and high toned gentlemen who have been deuded into that party; mary, very many of them have quit it in disgust, and the number of withdrawals is da- ly increasing. We would not have it understood that we charge the Know Nothing party with the perpetration of this crime, it was too badly gotten up but if the truth ever be known it will turn out to be some purblind mouser of the culvert-some expert Know Nothing well trained in the lying and hypocrisy which his order so sedulously taught in its earlier and palmier days-E Smith HeraM

 EDITOR TRUE DEMoCRAT-As it has become fashionable for persons who feel any interest Tn the matter, to make suggestions as to who would best fill the speakers chair, I have looked over tlc list of the members lately clect- ed to the Legislature, and the name of the Hon. SHELTON WATSON, of Union county, struck me" as being the most appropriate
 Judge Watson has had considerable expe- nence as legislator, and besides gave general satisfaction when he occupied the bench in the Sixth Judical Circuit. He is also a gentleman in every sense of the term, and am unhesita- tlngIy ot the opinion that he would give uni versal satisfaction as speaker; and last, though not least, he has always been d consistent de- mocrat.

 Ca Monday night there was large and [ spectable meeting of the democratic party, having been generally understood ahat Ml T. B. Flournoy would address the people the great issues now before the country. \ Flournoy during the past summer has been lively engaged in addressing the democnCy Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky, and b iul posted in regard to the political topics of ia day. His speech here on Monday light one of the ablest we have heard during canvass; it was admirably adapted to the oS sion and produced visible uneasiness ou countenances of those of San.'s followenf were present.

 10 the Sher?f of Chicot County
 SIR:-In late number of the True Demo- crat, notice an advertisement by you, wherein you speak of having in your custody, as sheriff of your county, a boy by the name of Sam.- He seems to have represented himself as be- longing to gentleman living in Louisiana, and as being about 40 years of age. Now, sir, I doubt not that this is the veritable Sam, who es. capped from me and my household, on the 4th day of August last. If this be the case, he has made some misreprescntations to you, which does not astonish me at all. As to whether or not it is the aforesaid Sum you can satisfy yourself, by noticing several distinctive features in his character.
 He is something of Yankee; was born in Hartford, Connecticut, during the late war with Great Britain but was raised and educated in Massachusetts He was sent south few years ago, as the representative and hired agent of the State of his adoption. He was, when in his prime, tall and rather prepossessng But the influence of a southern climate, and the ponderous wate of northern influence that he has had to carry in his travel through the south, has bowed his head well nigh to the ground, and at the time of his departure, he could only see over five counties in the State. His father is Ned Buntline, and l suppose his mother to be Jarrett Beecher Stowe. Ned sold him to Mr. Seward and Mir. Greeley, of New York, and they sold him to Mir. Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts. He has striking resemblance to Fred Douglass; is particular friend to Tom Corwin and Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, whither, l doubt not, he is trying to make his way.
 And as for me and mine, we are willing that he should return to the north, from whence he came. His constitution is not adapted to the southern climate, and he is only calculated excite dstrust suspicion and discontent amoR the people of the south. He is mysteriou character and would make better member "Barnum's collection of humbugs," or one
 Fremont's expeditions to the Rocky mountain than any thing of which I can think. He therefore, subject to the order of Fremont. Ba mum < Co.,, by their paying all costs, with tM understanding that they carry him to whens he came there to wait his sentence, which will be pronunced on the 4th of November next. Yours, A KNow NOTHING.

interests without trenching upon the constitp tional rights of others. The territories of the Union were purchased with the common blood and tresure of all-consequently the people of every section have a common right to go upon any portion of them upon an equal footing As respects negro slavery the democrats of the south ask in aid of southern interests no pro. slavery provisoes-the democrats of the north to aid in carrying out their sentiments ask no anti-slavery provsoes-they are willing to ac. cord to the people who may become the inhab. itants of those territories the right to construct their State institutions as they deem will be most in accordance with their interest and han. pness On this platform MT. Richardson and Mir. Breckinridge-Mr. Douglas and Mir. John. son-Mr. Choate and Mr. Jones, of Tenpes. see, stand.
 The Know Nothing Protestant says to the Protestant democrat: II hate the Catholic re. ligion." "So do l." replies the democrat,- But" says the Know Nothing "I am for making it test qualification to hold office aii oNOi tic OHioit uO OatnOllC must hold Of- flee" am not" retorts the democrat. "I am for giving the Catholic and the people of every other religious denomination the full ex- tent of their constitutional right, in spirit as we'll as letter."
 The northern Know Nothing says for him. self and his black republican friend to the northern democrat "We hate slavery" q am opposed to it too," replies the democrat.- "But we are in favor of confning slavery to
 its present limits by law-we are opposed to the Kansas ebraska measure" "I am for giving the southern people their rights" says the democrat, |" I am in favor of their enjoying their right to settle in any part of the United States territories they please, and abide the de- cision of the people thereof, as to whether it shall tolerate slavery as a State or not. am satisfied to confine my opposition to slavery to such equal-right limits" That is the differ ence. QUI WYE.
