deprives them of means they would otherwise have of becoming powerful. A high tariff is another policy of Yankeedom, whose object is to facilitate the growth of northern power.- Does any man suppose that such men as Gard ner, Banks and Wilson would go in for cutting off the vote of foreign born citizens if they voted for their measures of policy? Such a man ought to be put in bedlam.
 Itis clear to every rehecting mind that after Know Nothing principles shall have become es- tablished, and they will succeed if black repub- licanism succeeds-the next move will be to es- tabllsh the old Yankee policy-high tariff, and some one of the schemes to check the facilities with which poor men obtain homes upon the public domain. A considerable portion of the democratic strength having been Topped off they would have reason to believe those mea- sures could be carried and probably they would be.
 If emigration was entirely cut off, it is easy to demonstrate, in that event. that, by rather different process, it would be equally disastrous to the south But such measure is out of the question.
 A system of political measures should SC. cure benefits for all sections-Know Nothing ism gives all the draw-backs upon the south con- tained in Mir. Clay's American system," with. out any of it's counterbalancing provisions.

To Letter Writers.

When writing to publishers omit your name: let him guess" who you are by your "hand- writing"
 Carefully avoid placing the name of your post-ottice, county or State, upon your letter, lest, by so doing, you should betray your whereabouts
 When about to change your residence and you wish the direction of your paper changed instruct the publisher as follows: "Sir, here alter send my paper to -, and much oblige yours, tc,-." Don't let him know your former address. He may hunt that out from among hundred thousand others. No mat ter If 1t occupies week-he may have noth- ing else to do.
 When you write to " friend" requesting " an answer by return mail" leave him to pre- pay the postage on the answer, as you deserve some compensation for the pleasure you afford to him.
 Avoid carrying small change, you might spend it. The post master will be quite de- lighted with the privilege of trusting you-he would not be so mean as to "charge' three cents.
 When calling for letter at the post office, always ask: "Any thing for me?" Don't give your name; and when informed "No," don't believe it, but put yourself into an agony of surprise and wonder, and ask the postmaster when he expects one" for you. Should he ask you from whom you are looking for com munication, tell him, From the west" He will then understand you.-N r Daachnan.

no man ever connectc,l with the banks had been so remss in his duties, as that self-same Jim Yell. That he never performed the first duty, was but a clog in the wheel, though he telgn would take to himself the credit for all that has been done, would make the public believe $2O,OOO have been paid to other attor neys; that he performed al the services and re- ceivea nothing But as the truth shows he ne- yer saw the bill--never even signed it; but that MT. Curran, through courtesy, put his name to it. We suppose he will make his mark at the proper place, before he asks for pay. And we think if he had been present on the 2lst inst, he would have seen himself as others see him-would have seen that big l." of whom he so frequently and favorably speaks, sink into insgnifcance, and become a 1t toy for some of our neighbor's nursngs- Sam is dead in old Pope, and sunk beneath the political hands of resurrection.

From the Dicatur Ill., ) Democrat.

Visitors.
 During the past week our city has been full of strangers and among them we noticed Lin- der, Constable, Fcln and other prominent democrats, many of whom were returning from the Cincinnati convention. All unite in speak ing in the highest terms of the harmony and good feeling which preaviled throughout the entire session. Among the many we have seen and conversed with, we are glad to have made the acquaintance of John Adamson, esq, a delegate from Arkansas, to the Cincinnati con- vention, who arrived in our good city of Deca- tur, on Monday morning, on his way home to Little Rock; he has quite a number of friends and relations in this city and vicinity, whom he wishes to visit. He is sojourning for the pre- sent with his two nephews-thc Hon. Henry Prather and Judge William Prather he intends, we understand, returning to his home in Ar kansas, about the first of July. He informed us that he arrived in Cincinnati week before the convention met, made his home at the Burnet House, as did nearly the whole of the delegates; and from what we can learn from many of the Illinois delegates, went to work at once, to bring about successful issue to the business which he left his home to attend to. lie met the members in his sincere, bland, open and familiar manner, which gained the confidence of all with whom he became ac- quainted; he endeavored from the first to quiet all the troubled waters, had comfort for all the discontented of every description. He was par ticularly laborious among the New York dele gation, both hards and softs, and many of both sides, will remember how zealously he reason ed with them in favor of union for the good of their common country MT. Adamson, we are told, is no asprant for office; he is quite aged upwards 50 years, is very comfortably situated ill Little Rock, and his highest ambition is the good of our common country; we think MT. A. deserves we'll of his country, for in his quiet and unobtrusive manner, he assisted greatly in bringing about harmony and union in the democratic ranks, and the glorious result to the country in which 1t terminated. With Mir. As zeal and fidelity in the cause of de- mocracv, he will make his weight felt in his own State at the approaching State election and for president in November. We wish him long life, and safe return to his home and family. May his shadow never be less.

Message of Governor Metcaif.

OU71tVIt, " TT, . uHc D.
 Gov Metcalf was qualified yesterday after noon, and sent his message 10 the Legislature. About one third of the message Is devoted to national affairs, principally the slavery qaes- tion. He denounces the repeal of the Missouri compromise, the Kansas outrage; and the as sault on MT. Sumner and attributes the uni form success of the slave power to their perfect unanmity on the subject of slavery, to their constant threat of withdrawal from the Union and to the compactness of their party ties. He closes as follows:-" All the talk, all the threats, all the movements designed or tend ing to dissolution are the political stock in trade of southern politicians, with here and there partner at the north"

 EDITOR TRUE DEMoCRAT--Permit us to an- nounce, through your paper, our withdrawal from the Know Nothing party We were induc- ed by misrepresentations to join that party, and told 1t would not affect our politics; that it was to bring about a reconciliation and union of the parties south, and to restrict foreigners and Ca tholics, and by these and other fallacies we Were lead into their councils. But their hosti. lty to the democratic party was soon made manifest. Their signs and words were 50 changed that a democrat "c0u'dnt come d" Instead of making war upon the Pope of Rome, they opened fire upon the President Instead of opposing foreigners and Catholics, they used them wherever they could to oppose the demo. cratic party.
 Instead of uniting the parties in the south they have almost hopelessv divided and dis tracted them; have turned State against State county against county, neighbor against neigh bor, and brother against brother. until ruin is almost inevitable, except by the interposition of the democratic party, and it is now time every true lover of his country and American liber- ty was rallying around one common standard for the common good and defense of those in- estimable blessings guarantied to us by the fa- thers of our country
 We have ever been democrats, and expect to always support the principles of that party. Upon the Cincinnati platform we tako our stand, and to Buchanan and Brecknridge will lend our aid. Respectfully,

Warren, Ark., June 14th, 1856

Wd1ren Ark, June l4th, 1856. Mr. EDIroR-You will confer favor on us by publishing our dissatisfaction and withdrawal from the self-styled American party. We were persuaded some twelve months ago to join the then Know Nothing order being told its prin- ciples were democratic, which turns out to be a cheat. If it ever had any principles they are abolition, and wont do democrats. We have always been democrats, and still prefer the bridge that has carried us over safe. Be it known that we are no longer under the juris- diction of Sam, and, as testimonial of our re- apects for him, we will meet him on the 4th of August next, and assist the friends of Gov. Conway to knock the Neice into doll rags. Farewell Sam.
