remarked that to him it was most singular
that there should be any other party south
but the Democratic party, That to him the
movements of the Black Republicans were
transparent. Their sole object is to defeat any

throw the election into the House, play the
Banks game upon us and thus secure an abo.

Fillmore and Donelson, but every vote given
to them would have II tendency to defeat an

be guilty, though indirectly, of voting for q

traitor to his country--for man whose polit

would not scruple to battle down the time,

has no higher aims or aspirations than to de,

Our worthy and able representative has returned
from Washington City. He reached his home in this
place, on Thursday night about o'clock, his arri-
rival was made known and in less than thirty
minutes democratic procession was formed num-
bering hundred and fifty voters, with music and
banners, and marched up to his house and gave him
most hearty and cheering welcome Col. D. re-
fponded in few most appropriate remarks returning
his thanks and stating that at an early dayhe hoped
to have an opportunity of rendering an account of
bis stewardship and Of developing to his fellow cti

the accursed plots and designs Of the Know Nothngs
and fanatics against the South and the Union.

good health and will doubtless do able and cnec
tive service, in the great cause, during the present
canvass

"Strike the eymJal, sound the Drum,

n. N. HANDFUL.
No man can number the people that are now
rushing out of the anti-southern Know Moth
ing clans and into the ranks Of the great Ma
tional Democracy They come daily and hour
ly, and still they are coming. Tie ablcst and
truest and brightest ornaments of the old OPP
position, in this State are, in all directions
ranging themselves in the ranks of the only
national party, and the only porty who now
upholds and defends the constitutional rights
and equ lily of the southern States.
We publish the following gratifying intell-
gence with pleasure.
Judge 0. n. OGDEN, of The Rapidcs parish,
has written long letter to Hon Thos. O..
Moore, Democratic Elector for the Fifth Dis.
trict, in which he declares his intention of sup
porting the Democratic nominees. The letter
is published in the Alexandria Democrat of
the Cd inst. After reviewing the field and the
different candidates, Judge Ogden says:
shall cast my vote for you and your CO.
electors, in the conscientious belief that upon
the success of your party in the coming cleo
ton depends in a great degree the peace of
the country if not the preservation of the
Union.
We heard it limited that Judge Ogden had
been invited and was expected to address the
Know Nothings at their barbecue near Jack
son. Will their committee please to publish his
reply?
We also learn that Mr. Simral of Woodvilc
was also invited and expected to address the
same meeting. We should be pleased also to
see his reply in print. Can we be gratilicd?

ways found battling for The entire Union; and
finally, party, the very essence Of which is
to know no north, no south, no east, nor no
west.
1t is surprising to me that the south will a.
low themselves to be hoodwinked by the pollt-
ical scheming of northern Yankees. Proba-
bly being in northern State, can see through
their tricks better than if remained in the
south.
/ see the New York Tribune has already
commenced to show how President may be
elected withou receiving q single southern
vote.
All the southerners here, with whom ! am
acquainted have come into the Democratic
ranks; and the same thing is true all over the
State. Southcrncr and Democrat are here sy'
nonymous terms The Union.loving men from
the north, who have heretofore acted with the
Know Nothings, have found out that Germans
and Irshmcn IRE more desirable companions
than the aboltionists, and they, too, are com.
ng out and enlisting, in the coming fight, nm

Fillmore's men North and South.

The organ of Black Republicans, the ", Y.
Tribune, of the 25th nit, uses the following
language respecting the aid which the Fill
more men in Congress gives to the Black Re
publican cause whenever they are in tight
pinch in carrying any of their revolutionary
measures.
1--WE fear the bare majority so CALAMITY
presented by the friends of Free Kansas in the
House cannot be maintained through the
week now operng-that the allies of the Bor
der Rullians will call back abscntecs enough
to reject the Proyiso and pass the bill without
it. But even such defeat will be the next
thing to Il victory, if the Republicans stand TO
their guns and 60 down with colors flying.
We have no majority, and never had in the
present House when full; when we have car
ricd any point, it was by help Of Il small seq
mcnt of the Flllmorcics. who realize that TO
vote against Free Kansas is to forfeit the favor
of their constituents and rcnouncc all hopes Of
a reelection.
Thus it will be seen that, if the election
should 20 to the House, but precious little
dependence is TO he placed in the FiIimoreitcS
But what is the use of referring to the char
acter of Fillmore's Northern friends when we
find among lismoSt prominent Sonthernfricnds,
men who even go further than those North
and openly dcclare for Fremont as their sec
ond choice. Here are most unworthy exam
pies of their tratorism to the South
Alexander, of Tcnsas parish, the Fillmore
Elcctor for the 9th District Of louisiana de-
clared in his speech in this place on Monday
last, says the Natchitochcs Chronicle. in n

PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST WERE CONFINED TO FRE-
MONT AND BUCHANAN, HE WOULD NOT VOTE FOR
BUCHANAN. People of Louisiana, ponder well
over this declaration made by II prominent
leader of the Fillmore party"
We also add other precious Know Nothing
sentiment. Read them Lonisianans. Read
them Fillmoretcs and blush for shame. Blush
that you are native born Southern men and
can tolerate such sentiments as these Blush
that You belong to party in the South who
has iorsaken the South and who are .Soythcya

Blush that You belong to Il southern party
who would thus favor and fondle and cringc

Democratic Endorsement of Gov.
 Conway.

On our title page will be found the proceed ings of democratic meetings in Yell, Pope and Conway counties; and on the third page the proceedings of the meeting in Franklin. It will be observed that each of these coun- ties appoints delegates to the State convention and instructs them to support Gov. ELIAS N. CONWAY for the nomination as the democratic candidate for Governor.
 While we shall hold our paper aloof from any contest that may arise between democrats for the nomination. and thus leave it free to support the nominee, whoever he may be, we cannot but express our qualification at this un- solicited and generous mark of confidence given faithful and efficient public servant. Gov. Conway's administration thus far has been q bright page in the history of the State While he has taken care that the laws should be faith fully executed and that every interest of the people should be strictly protected, as far as he possessed the power, he has, in his wisdom and his thorough knowledge of the necessities of the State, procured the enactment of laws that have had the most salutary influence upon our present growing prosperity.
 Judging from the present course of the Know Nothing organ in this city, the fact that it has resisted Gov. Conway and denounced him in every step he has taken towards the b,1nqinq to light the true condition of the Real Estate Banh,' we suppose the great issue in the next canvass, between the democratic and Know Nothing parties, will be the settlement of this institution. Upon this question we are prepar- cd and willing to go before the country. It is not our purpose, however, to anticipate by a discussion now. Sufficient unto the day is the labor thereof" We only allude to the matter to express our satisfaction at the appre- ciation and acknowledgment of the eminen services of Gov. Conway, in this behalf, by the democrats of Yell, Pope, Conway and Franklin counties. To him and to them, it is an acknowledgme honorable alike.
