This gallant champion of our cause returned to this city, on Saturday last we are glad to see, in improved health. We have not the time or space, this week, to allude to his ser. vices one of the electors for the State at large: suffice it to say, for the present., that he can. vassed the west and northwest faithfully, and the tremendous majorities that our ticket has obtained in that region attest how we'll and ably he performed his duties. We have several communications reporting the effects of hia speeches, which are crowded out this week by the election returns, but which shall appear next week. We can say of him, as we arc proud to say of each one of our electors. "weH done daou good and faithtM seruant"

ELECTION IN ARKANSAS. A Brilliant and Glorious Triumph

A Brilliant and Glorious Triumph!
 We send greeting to our democratic brethren throughout the Union, the cheering news of the most glorious victory ever achieved in this or any other State. The field was hotly, nay. bit terly contested, to the last hour. Every stone was turned, every species of tactics were re- sorted to, to defeat the democracy The State swarmed with Know Nothing orators; the Know Nothing candidate for Governor canvassed the State from one end to the other while the de- mocratlc candidate never left his official duties at the capital; misrepresentation and falsehoods were scattered broadcast over the State but all-aU to no purpose whatever. The election Is over and sufficiency of the returns have already been received to make the victory of the democrats complete and overwhelming.
 Our triumph is unprecedented Out of vote of some thirty five or forty thousand, the majority of ELIAS N. CONWAY, the democratic candidate for Governor, will be ten, if not twelve thousand. We have elected, by overwhelming ma orities, both our candidates for Congress we have elected every one of the Circuit Judges we have elected every one of the Prosecuting Attorneys we have elected twelve out of the thirteen, if not the whole thirteen State Senators we have elected sixty-two or three of the seventy-fve members of the G enc. ral Assembly; and, finally, we have elected more than three fourths of the sheriffs, clerks and other county officers.
 Can more complete--a more glorious vic tory be conceived or imagined? Could more thorough, overwhelming, crushing defeat be administered to any party, than the one just ad- minstered by the democracy to the dark-l liant ernites of Arkansas We submit, could there be ? Gov. Conway has received nearly, if not quite, two-thirds of the vote cast and larger vote than ever before, was boiled at the recent election
 At the Democratic National Convention, Mai THos. B. tLoURNoY, when he gave the vote of Arkansas for Buchanan and Breckinridge pledged her in November next, to the cause of democracy, and wagered banner wrought by the fairest hands in the State that, in proportion to her vote, she would give the democratic nominees the largest majority of any State in the Union. We will redeem the pledge, and win the banner. The majority We will roll up for Buchanan and Brecknridge will rot be less than t10elUe or fifteen thousand l-mark the pre- diction

 As a general thing, there are very few southern people in our great hotels. The pla- ces of amusement also exhibit the fact. Here tofore the absence of our own population has been more than made up by the rush Of south ern travellers. Those who ought to know all aboutit, complain of the change"

Our friends of the Appeal at Memphis, will greatly oblige LIS by rendering to the "Bu1etin' our sincere coincidence for the disastrous over- throw of all its expectations and hopes from the "Borland and Danley folks" and our es- pecal regret that the COLONEL should descend from his 'Prom and independent'' position as an "oLp-LINER," and pollute that flag, which has been borne "triumphantly upon so many hon. ored fields," by trailing it in the dust of con- temptlble faction, that is now mere tradition in Arkansas.

Phillips, 28; Pulaski, 79; Lafayette, 25.
 Total, 1892 Showing, in thirty counties, a clear ma jority for Gov. ELIAS N. CONWAY of 7,217!! There are yet twenty-one counties to hear from, which will increase Conways majority, we believe, to twelve thousand !..
 Our Know Nothing friends are not only dis appointed and mortified over their boastful cal- culations, but they are absolutely ashamed of hemselves-ashamed of the boasts and noise they have made. We feel for them sincerely, and trust that, in future, they will demean themselves little more soberly previous to all elections

.V We may now look for the redemption of Gov. Seymore's pledge to give fifty thou sand majority for Buchanan and Breckinridge. It was asserted by prudent men at Cincinnati that the democracy of New York have had that majority for ten years past, if they could but bring it into the field They are now thorough. ly harmonized, and why should they not throw their crushing majority at the altar of the Con. sttution and the Union.

Burr0W and Green at Huntsville.


 EDITOR OF THE TRUE DEMOCRAT: On account of i'll health, Col. Burow failed to attend at Huntsville, on the day advertised; on the 18th, however, though but a day or two were afford ed for the circulation of his appointments, a large audience-some supposed a thousand per- sons were present.
 Mir. Green occupied the forenoon, and gave us an excellent address of some three hours length, showing the origin of the Know No- thing party-its identity with federalism, abo- litionism etc.. gin pointed, ingenious and argu- mentative style. We, however, have not space for anal yss.
 After dinner Col Burrow took the stand, and for four hours and half poured forth a torrent of eloquent docamatons, logical argu- ment, and philosophical reasoning.
 We have haf some opportunity of hearing distinguished orators-such as Polk, Bell, Grundy, and many eastern men of distinction, it has seldom fallen to our lot, however, to hear a political address from any one more ex- celent than the one now under review. It blended most beautifully all the traits-orator- ical excellence-appropriate and classical die ton; cogent and logical reasoning; scathing and burning satire, puugent and burning wit, | played through all entire speech of four hours and half long.
 Advancing step by step. upon the principles of the American party, he poured the voIIey, Of lucid demon ustraton upon the strong holds, bre4kig down and scattering to the winds its claims to political and national merit-pauting in vivid coors, the Identity of the Know No- thing platform, with the principles of the odi- ou> platform Of the Hartford convention, and holding in mock-d erisjon the tatterd relics of \ the repudjated document, till the few Know Nothlngs present, sMooned in the del,rium Of hopeless despair. Nothing escaped his lynx \ eyed vision, and nothing espied, withstood the voleys of his apsument-ludicrously person. ated, scathinsly burnt, pealed, tattered and de- nounced, the Know Nothings sought in vain a hiding place before him. The artillery was so dexteriously wheeled and volleys charged, that every strong hold of the castle was beaten down, and the banner of democracy made tri- umpantIy to wave upon its ruins.
 COL Burow also stirred the deep waters of our national history the boundiug~ of the Leviathau and the bleakings of the great whale, -national appeals, national aggrandisemont, and the vista of future republican progress, and republican glory; the vast waters of the re- publican ocean were proudly shaken by the gigantic evoIutons of the sportive Leviathan.
 The character of Gov, Conway, Bob John son and the family, was vindicated fully and etfectually from the foul charges made upon them.
 On the next day Col. Burow spoke at Kings ton, in this county, where it was believed he more effectually demolished the ruins of the castle than at Huntsville

 Green and ThOmaSSOn iu CiarksyilIP,
 MR. ED1ToR-A few days since He had Gen. Thomassou here, giving Us, with little or no variation, "the same old thing" oUer again- Washinston'S letter to Mr. Morris about all the foreigners except the Marquis de Lafayette, Jefferson upon the ocean of tire-Madison wanting all our consuls to be natiue citizens and Jackson desiring to be little more Ame- rlcanizcd. We were cautioned, too, as usual. to beware of the insidious evils of foreign in- huence, to which was appended the copous extract from the Duke of Richmonds letter.
 The Catholics and the Pope come in for the customary hagellation; in short 1t was the Know Nothing speech-the stereotyped yarn they all give us. Gen. Thomasson has, like almost every one else, learned the speech, and he said 1t here better, it is generally allowed, than did his predecessor Gen. Yell When the speech was first made among the people it excited the green uns nightly, but the thing has been ex- hibited so often that every body has learned were the deceptons le-so that the best trick ot the whole collection done up by the most expert hand fails to excite any interest.
 Thomasson did about as we'll with the ma terials furnished him as could be expected-he built his pyramid all in due proportions after the approved rules of art-but 1t IS all chaf- The zephyrs that continue to fan our village since Col. Burow was here, playfully dashed into it's architecture, and in few hours no trace of it was left behind.
 | The Kansas Nebraska measure. repealing tho Missouri compromise, Gen. Thomasson declar ed aoas right without reference to the south but that he considered the compromise should have been allowed to rest, because it had been al ready settled, etc. This, it seems to me, is very singular position for any one in these la. tltudes to take in the present condition of thinos To acquiesce in the surrender of r9qht to q protcssed enemy-an enemy too of superior power-howevcr small that right may be-is an awful error-our right is our power or at least the medium through which we use our power. have always thought nothing was better understood by the American people and the whole Anglo-saxon race-than the impor. tance of this principle.
