OUR CoNGREssMEN.-We clip from the pre- ceedings of the House of Representatives of the 3lst March, the following notice of the HoN. ALBERT RUsT's absence, by the HoN. A. B. GREENWOOD The circumstances that call Col. RUST temporarily home are truly unhappy.
 Mr. GREENWOOD Mr Speaker, my col 'eague Mr. RUsT] received information on Friday last that brother-n-law had been as- sassinated, which unfortunate circumstance made it necessary, in his opnion that he should eturn to his home that he might administer III the consolation in his power to the surviv- Ing members of the family 1 know nothing of the circumstances attending the death of his relative; 1 only give such information as my colleague received. He has paired off gen. orally, for three weeks, with the gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mir. ToDD and the ba- lance of the month upon the Kansas question and other kindred subjects. In justice to my colleague, have felt called upon to state fully the reasons for his absence, that his immediate constituents might know the true cause of his absence, which no doubt, they will fully appre- ciate."
 HoN. ROB'T w. JOHNSON also visited his home several days since. He remained but a few days and then returned to Lis post at Washington. Business connected with his pri- vate interests constrained him to make the visit

Withdrawals.

Southern democ7atic Americans can neither stand on the platfrm, nor support the candidates.
 No southern American can successfully defend the platform Capt. Pake's address
 To verify this declaration of Capt. Pike, wit ness the cards of withdrawals that we publish to-day. Withdrawing from the order has just commenced. The democrats in the concern cannot e. stand on the platform, nor support the candidates" "No southern American, (wheth- CT whig or democraO can successfully defend the platform
 Capt. Pike is good Know Nothing authority. He originated the order in this State-he was the father of it-he was its first presdent-he drafted its charters and its by-laws-he was its chosen delegate to the Philadelphia council inJune, 1855, and again in February, 1856. He certainly must be good Know Nothing autho- rity He says "we have sat ,oiM free so,lers long enough" Know Nothings all over the State are thinking so too and they are renouncing the order. Let the good work go on. By August next the old federal leaders of this place and their organ will not be backed by respectable squad of either whgs or democrats.

Fillmore's Nomination.

If Flllmore's antecedents upon the slavery question were sound-if his past devotion to the interests of the south was unquestionable, the men who present him as a candidate for the presidency would render him unaccept- able to the southern people. A majority of the convention that gave him the nomination were abolltlonlsts. Southern men who sat as dele gates from the southern States, acknowledged the fact. The southern Know Nothings, in their speeches in the convention, spoke fre- quently, and without reserve or seeming off, fence, of the " "obolition side of tue House." It was an admitted fact, even by the most devo- ted of the order from the south, that the aboli- tlonlsts were there, and there in large numbers -numbers sufficient to control the convention, shape and fashion the platform, and choose the candidate.
 They constructed the platform that was adopted and they nominated Fillmore and Don elson. The platform "agnores" all the rights of the south. The subject of slavery is not even broached or mentioned. Every rcsolu- ton pr motion defining or vindcating the rights of the south was contemptuously and instan- taneously voted down and thrown out. The much boasted taOelfM section, over which south ern Know Nothings crowed so proudly, was voted down amidst the cheers and acclama- tlons of the "aboltion side of the house. e."- The result of the conventon-the summing up, was an abolition trium ph-and the second abolition triumph in the republic. The elec- ton of Banks, as speaker of the House, by the northern Know Nothings, was their first tri umph-the platform of the recent Know No- thing council at Philadelphia and the nomin- atlon of Fillmore was their second.
 If then, we say MT. Fillmore's antecedents on questions vital to the south were pure W hich they are not, the manner of his presep. taton would make him objectionable to the southern people The south goaded and in suited and plundered by abolitonists as she has been, will never stoop to accept a presden tiaI candidate at abolition hands Fillmore. i his ambition prompts him to accept the nomin. aton, cannot and will not receive the electora vote of a single southern State.

On motion, the secretary was requested to transmit copy of the proceedings of this con vention to the editor of the True Democrat with request that they be published.
 On motion, the convention adjourned sine de. JONATHAN HARDIN, Chm, WALTER c. DENT, Sec'y.

lloN. WM. A. JoNEs-Our readers will re- member notice of this gentleman that appear ed in the True Democrat several weeks since. We were then informed that he was a member of the midnight order, and, as such, desired t. see him resign the office he held from the de- mocratc party.
 It does Us more than ordinary pleasure to recall all that was then said, and to admit now the prolrety of Col. JONES continuing the se material representative of the democratic dis. trlct of Poinsett and St. Francis counties Co., JOKES did join the midnight order bat lis stay with 1t was of a very short duration. At the recent democratic meeting of s. Francis county, he publicly renounced his connection with Know Nothngsm-a connection which he said had ceased very early after itwas form ed.
 We are much gratiied to learn of the re- turn of Senator JONES to the democratic fold and welcome him back. He is gentleman of intelligence and integrity-aud will always oc- cupy distinguished position in any profession in which he may embark. The Know Noth- ing order will feel very sensibv, in eastern Ar kansas, the loss of the influence of his name.

 MT. Bunting evinces the honesty which should be evinced by every democrat who has been inveigled into the unclean den of Samisn,. His example is well worthy of being followed.

 SIR: Last summer was induced to become member ofyour council. At the time, was told, as you know, that 1 could withdraw whenever desired Upon full acquaintance with the objects of the so.called American party, find it impossible for me to approve them. So far as my humble influence is con- cerned, 1t shall hereafter be given to the demo- cratic party the true American party, and the only party able and willing to protect the rights of the south. In joining another party 1 committed an error which I heartily regret and as the best means of repairing it, now pub Ac9y confess the wrong did in secret

This paper, We are told Owe never see it) notices the article published in the True Demo- crat several weeks since about the senator from St. Francis and Poinsett counties
 Notwithstanding the Eagle and Enquirer has cut us off from it's exchange list. and refuses to send us its issues, it is in the habit, we under stand, of procuring our paper cIandestinely, and criticising our editorials. 1.-the editorcon- siders such warfare honorable and manly, we differ with him widely. In our opinion, it IS the warfare of one who would stab an oppo- nent in the back--it is the refined essence of dark. lantcrnism

JAIL EMPTIED.-On Saturday night last, T. Y. Ellis and Loui Meyer escaped from the Pu- laski jail-house. They were both committed for murder--the former having killed man at Des Arc and the latter, one at Little Rock. The jail is now empty, the above men being its last occupants.
 They effected their escape, we understand, through assistance rendered from the outside. tion of the Governor offering a reward.

The Gazette and MT. Fillmore


 The editor of the Gazette occupies an awk- ward position before the people of Arkansas, and he feels it. He is very angry too with us for reminding him of it-he storms and rages and calls us foreign jesuit" We are very sorry for him, but we can't help him. He has repeatedly Stgmatized Mr. Fillmore as an abo- htaonast, and we are surprised, and the people are surprised, that he should now advocate the election of Mir. Fillmore to the presidency.
 Though the editors difficulty is an embar- rassing one, Lis efforts to disentangle himself are funny in the extreme. We feel pity for him, and yet cannot help but laugh. To get more by receiving and taAing Jor true, withompr per investigation, the statements of prominent newspapers, ao]tich s0e then hought to be veN ,n- formed and reliable"
 This Is very common plea, but one that scarcely ever wins. He is not guilty, but some body else is. What "prominent papers" did lie rely upon? He had the facts before him he actually published them-they were con- tained in short letter written by Mr. Fillmore to some Erie county aboitionists-did he rely upon 'prominent papers" for the formation of his opinion when he had the facts before him? Does he acknowledge himself to be so impotent and hepless--to be so dependent?
 No--no, the editor was not mised by "pro mlneht newspapers" If he was msled at all 1t was by Mir. Fillmore himself. He quoted Fill more's Erie" letter-and under it wrote these emphatic words: Tohave called M,. Fillmore q FREE-soILER aohen he a0rote tue above, acouM not hace Deen fuN defnition of It's position He 'oas an ABoLITIoNlsT and decla,ed himse!f tn fa- GOT of leg'slaton J Me oJoltion of szave,y ira tie District cf Columbia"
 The editor of the Gazette cannot get out of the difficulty by stultifyng himself He must take all the edium of his present position. He has often stismatzed MT. Fillmore as an abo- Iltlonst--he said, on one occasion when ouot. ing Mir. Fillmore's Erie letter. that Mr. Fillmore '''cas not only treesoiler, but more Ae avos an abol't'o'ist." And, on another occasion he said of Mr Fillmore that, "he acas unjelst1y os ,ge coFce've-saspected cf not being true enougA tc tie db0itionists"
 Such were the editors opinions before he joined the Know Nothings and took all oath to support and uphold the Know Nothing cause. He IS now supporting Mir. Fillmore for the pre- sdency because he cannot do otherwise He IS not q free man-he is the oath bound slave of party who Jorces him to support man for the presidency whom he believes, ill his heart l to be an ab0litionst
The true Democrat., 1856-04-22

Capt Pke's last tai}u1e has been his attempt to destroy the American party, by berayng to it's enc mics, Besides being his last. it is his worst failure, because it las covered him with dsgracc.n-- Gaaette
 These are bitter words from the lips of one who but few short months ago, was Capt. Pike's servile worshipper. They show how keenly Capt Pikes delection is felt in the Know Nothing wigwam. His address to the southern Know N Nothings was their funeral dirge.
 We look forward with great interest and c,l- riosity to Capt. Pike's return this summer. We doubt not that the harsh denunciations now heaped upon him will then be hushed, and that King Albert |" will enjoy his own again."
The true Democrat., 1856-04-22

The nomination of Fillmore and D nelson is re- ccvcd iy the patriotic people from one end of the Union to the other with that enthusiasm which is the sure lrestage of succe>s. '- Gaaette.
 If the receiving of Fillmore and Donclson's nomination with enthusiasm be test of patri- otiSm, there are very few patriotic people," in this region. At least, we judge so, from the paucity of the number at the Know Nothing ratification meeting, in this city, short time since. There were but few people in attend ance and no enthusiasm whatever. Indeed, Fillmore's nomination is a drag. The people have not yet forgotten the Galphin frauds"
 Apropos the "Galphin frauds;' we shall, at an early day, treat Mir. Fillmores friends to a few choice quotations upon the subject from the Gazette. The Gazette, we presume, will be acceptable authority.

Let Every Body Read.

The editor of the Gazette but short time ago said of MT. Fillmore:
 From this It will be seen that Mir. Fillmore. in 1888. was not only free soler but more. HE w.s A. ABoLITIoNIsT." ~ And again:
 "At eeeting of the whig convention. Mr. Ell more was weighed in the balance and found want;no lie was--un1usny as ace coneearesu> peeted of not being true enough to the abolitionsts'
 And yet, citizens of Arkansas, the editor of the Gazette is now advocating the election of MT. Fillmore to the presidency! What do you think of him? What ought to be done with him? We pause for reply.
