The true Democrat., 1856-07-29
The Election.

On Monday next, closes the bitter, long con. test that has, for the last eighteen months raoed in Arkansas On Monday next the mighty fiat will go forth, whether Arkansas is to ba governed by the same democratic principles and the same administration which, during the lo,, four years, have made her so prosperous Q, home, and elevated her credit so high abroad
 We have no fears for the result. The vic tory of the democrats-the triumph of EliasN Conway, will be signal, complete and brlian, Never before were the stakes so high-nevo, before were the contestants So we'll prenaro, The great and vital questions at issue have been discussed, examined, considered and deliber, ted upon, for more than year, until every n,o. in the land, who possesses the smallest allon, ance of common sense, is thoroughly posted and indoctrinated
 The great Southern question: so far as tbo voice of Arkansas can decide it, is now in ,ho hands of her people. The Kansas act, wb;ob was in Congress supported, not only by tba northern democracy, but by southern democrat. and southern whigs, is the main issue I'll. Know Nothing party has not only made if ., issue, but the Know Nothing candidates boro arrayed themselves against the south. unon ,b. side of our northern foes. The Kansas ac, !, supported throughout the Union, by both ,b. national democracy and the old line wbi,, while the Black Republicans and the aboliton ists of the north, and the Know Notbings os l the SOuth waUp hittar on6
 fare upon it. On this point, who can doubt ina sentiments of the people of Arkansas? Tbo sentiment here Is in unison with the sentmor. that anmates the national democracy. from Maine to Louisiana, from the Atlantic to tbo Pacific Ocean. The sentiment that CongreSs has no power over the domestic questions etbar of the States or the territories, that the peorIa of each are capable of self government, in their sovereign capacity as States, is the great sentj. ment of the national men of the Union. With this sentiment-this eternal principle, incorpo. rated in their platform, the democratic party goes forth conquering and to conquer.
 In our State policy, the great question is the payment of the State debt. Involved in tbis question are the winding up and settlement of the affairs of our banks. The democratic party presents to the people candidate whose very fame and name is identified with rigid settle ment of the banks, and a faithful application of the proceeds of their assets to the redemption of the State bonds issued upon their behalf. Gov Conway, already has made wonderful progress in the cause of the State, and no longer can it be said that the Real Estate Bank, iu which the people have so deep an interest is Sealed book" against the authorities of the State. The bank charter expires in 1860, and if Gov. Conway is re- elected Governor of the State, by that time the banks will be wound up. and their assets collected and properly and faithfully applied.
 The Know Nothing candidate is identified, in every way, with the opposition to the settle. ment of the Real Estate bank. Appointed by Gov. Conway, one of the attorneys to prosecute the suit of the State against the bank, he held on to his commission for two years and never rendered the governor, or his co-attorney, the least aid or assistance. Bought up by the op- position, bought up by the Real Estate bank party, with the promise of being their candi- date for Governor, be refused, on all occasions, to facilitate the suit against that institution.
 With these great questions and issues at stake, who can doubt but that the democrats, aye more, the people, will follow their own iu- terests by re-electing Gov. Conway to the Ex- ecutive chair
 Men of Arkansas, the cause we advocate $ in your hands. If you do your duty--if you all will be well. In four more years, Arkausas will rank as she ought, with the proudest of her sister States
