The true Democrat., 1856-08-26
From Drew County.
MonteceNo, August II, 1856.

IHOfU6CcHO, august H. lOOO EDITOR TRUE DEMocRAT-"We have met the enemy, and they are ours" promised in my last communication to the True Democrat that Drew county would do her duty. Has she not nobly redeemed her pledge? Particu- larly when we reflect that part O the Know Nothing candidates were professed democrats We must get Judge Sutton over here again. call for mourners would now meet with multitudenous reponse; that is if the depth of repentaHce is indicated by the length of face. A daguerreian would certainly hazard the safe ty of his camera obscura, were he to attempt to compress some faces into a likeness
 Is not Col. Fowler smiling on the other side of his face? Poor Yell! what paraly- sis upon his political aspirations? I have no doubt, even Gov. Conway, sympathizes with him in his downfall. He and Judge Sutton will have to visit Professor Brette to learn the proper sound of French vowels, and to learn technically, what an efete party is. A de6ni- tion of the term is all they should desire, hav- ing already tested its strength
 But to be more serious, I rejoice at our tri- umph; not so much for the ofices--not so much for our victory over branch of the south American party, whom I believe to be honest, but because the free-soilers of the north willquake and tremble at our unity and strength for we'll do they know, that the contest is em phatcally between Buchanan and Fremont. Il they were sensible of that fact, should not the south Americans and the conservatives of the north, join with us in giving Fremont an over. whelming defeat! think 1t would be our duty tc support Mr. Fillmore if the strength of the can ddates were reversed. But what prospect has Mr. Fillmore? His friends cannot reasonably hope for but one southern State, and even Ken lucky is doubtful. In the north no politician can put his hands on six States that will cer tainlygo for Fillmore. Butsuppose he should get two southern States, (which he will not, and six northern States, Ceavng out Pennsyl vania and Illinois, which are large States anG will go for Buchanan) - what then would be his prospects? None for an election evidently But suppose he should have strength enough U tuiOW Cut eIcCliOI llUO tue I1OuSe, the ldJe contest for speaker is fair index of how the vote would stand between Fremont and Fill more. The Banks men would go for Fremon and perhaps all the Marshall men for Fillmore The conservative strength, therefore, being d vided between Fillmore and Buchanan, mgh fare as did the ass between the two bundles o hay, while the black republicans would bea off the victory The shout over which would be the death knell to this Unon and conSe quently to the prospects of this republic. hop therefore, that good and true men will ponde this thing we'll before the November election and that the same patrioticsentiment, which ha heretofore arisen with the exigency of th times will again manifest itself, and our coun ty be saved.
 am happy that our cause is in the hands 0 such men as Gen. Hempstead, and Col. Bur row. 1 hope they will press forward our victo riouS banner, and that we may realize il November the most brilliant victory that ha ever honored the democracy of Arkansas Let us redeem the pledge of "''' ueleSate Cincinnati T.. not be with Buchanan as i with King Lear, that the daughter who made the greatest promises, proved least relia be in the time oftrial SALINE.
