The Difference.

The following paragraph we clip from the last Gazette:
 "CoI. W. r. GRAcE.-We learn that this gentle man is doing good service in behalf of the American part1. He has met Col. Warren in Ashley and other counties, and will escort him far IS Arkansas county, where Col. Fowler will meet him." This little article shows the wide difference between the democratic and Know Nothing candidates. Col. Warren, in Col. Fowler's absence, permitted MT. Grace to discuss with him. Col. Warren is always willing to discuss with any one. But Gen. Yell, when applied to at Dardanelle, and again at Dover, to discuss with democrats, peremptorily declined. He has no faith in his new principles and is there- fore unwilling to discuss them.
 How different with Col. Warren. He is wil. ling to meet all corners. He relies upon the soundnesS of his party and the correctness of his prime ples.

To the Democracy of Conway and Vel,
 Counties.

In consequence of the dsorganized state of the de- mocracy of the senatorial district. composed of the counties of Conway, Perry and Ye there are two democratic candidates in the field. with fair pros pect for more. One is the nominee of a con- vention, representing about half of the counties o Yell and Perry anu by bare majority vote of this minority convention. The other, not recognizing the said convention is an indepedent candidate from the county Of Conway. The consequence is the demo- cracy is divided and the enemy is wise enough to take advantage of our division, and will do so whenever it is too late for Us to remedy the evil.
 The little county of Perry having no aspirant for senatorial honors, in good faith proposes an umpi- rage between the large counties of Yell and Conway and their respective aspirants by suggesting con- vention, to be held at Lewisburg, on Saturday the 5th day of July, when and where it is hoped that every townshipn each county will be fully and fairly represented by delegates proxy and settle between the claims of the aspirants and give entire satisac- ton to the democracy. Will Conway and Yell re- spond immediately, and go to work for the accom- pshment of the object! And will the aspirants ac- cede the proposition and announce it in the next issue of the True Democrat? He that refuses let him fall under the ban of the party for no good demo- crat will vote for him.

Gen. Yell and the Real Estate
 Rank


 On this subject, we clip from an article in the last Gazette, headed, "Hoso his aoorM IS given to lying" the following paragraph:
 That Gen. Yell did appear as one of the attorneys in the suit against the bank, again and again. aid took steps Tn 1t as an attorney facts known to the bar of Little Rock and to them we appeal for the truth ofwhat we say"
 Now we call upon the editor of Gazette to produce his proofs. We wish to know what Gen. Yell did in the prosecution of the suit against the Real Estate bank We say he did nothing. We have been close observer of the progress of this suit, and whenever any thing was done-any progress was made, we understood that it was the work either of Cur ran or Hampstead. So let us know, Mr. Editor, what Yell achieved in this behalf Let us have the proof of your assertion
 In the same article, the Gazette also said.
 That James NJ. Curran drew the bill is we pre- sume, true, nor do we believe Gen. Yell attempt ed to deprive him of the credit of it. Curran was one whom 10 one knew but to love-of his extraor- dinary ability as lawyer, was but one opinion-for his years he had superior, if any equal; and it is no disparagement to any lawyer at the bar, to say that Curran was peculiarly fitted to draw up the bil"
 And he did draw it up. Yell never helped him at all, though it was his imperative duty to have done so. Yell shrked the task. We thank the Gazette for the admission of the truth.
 As for that part which says that, YeN never attempted to depr1ve Curran of the credit of it, we have but one word to say: Yell, in his usual vain-gorious style of boasting, has plum ed himself greatly upon his prosecution of this bank suit. His organ at Pine Bluff, that echoes his sentiments, complained that the Governor did not pay him Jor filing the biN What ia this but an attempt to deplive Curran of his well-carned laurels? Was it right or just for Yell's organ to demand "pay" for work that Y ell never did-work that Curran did? We ask the Gazette the question.
 The Gazette eulogizes Mr. Curran very highly. The eulogies are deserved and they show the wisdom of the Governor in selecting Mir. Curran. Had the Governor been compell- ed to rely upon Yell, he never would have ad- vanced step in the prosecution of the suit Yell has done nothing towards bringing to light the true condition of the Real Estate bank nothing whatever

The State Not Ruled and Ruined.

Our last issue was bomb shell among the calculations of our Know Nothing adversaries They had counted upon showing clearly that the State had been ruled and ruined' They were determined to make out bad case for Arkansas, to demonstrate it as far as downright assertion could do so, and then charge the cause of it against Gov. F. \. Conway, the democratic candidate for Governor
 The following letter showing the facts showing the prosperous condition of the trca- sury, and tlre great progress made in the pay lnent of the bank debts of the State, fell like vet blanket upon their hopes and destroyed all their "polifcal copital." We give the letter again because it ought to be in the hands Of every citizen of the State It is the official re- port of the State treasurer:

It will be seen that Col. Burrow adds to his appointments the place of Waldron, Scott county, on the 26th June; and changes his time of addressing the citizens of Sebastian county at Fort Smith, from Friday 27th to Saturday 18th of June
 We trust the democrats will interest them selves ill giving circulation to Col. Burrows appointments so that he may have large au- diencies He Is one of the ablest and most in teresting speakers in the State.

CUTTING IT NINE INCHES ON THE R1Bs-A sag ncht candidate for the Legislature, not a thousand miles from Little Rock, asserted the other day in plbiic speech. that the American party had thirty PiattOrD4S.- Gdzette.
 The Know Nothing order have more than thirty. They have one for each of the thirty one States, and then a June and Fe5ruQry national platform. Besides, Fillmore has tloo of his O,on-the E'ie letter, declaring himself an abolitionist which is swallowed at the north; and the platform for the south which stands weekly on the editorial page of the Gazette
 The order looks north, south, east and west, and to which ever quarter it temporarily ad- dresses itsclf it turns it's back upon the re- maning three. It is unlike the democratic party, whose one platform addresses itself to the whole nation. National men alone stand upon the democratic platform.

BANKs.-We publish upon our title page, this morning. that portion of Governor Con- ways message that relates to the R. E. Bank. It is history of that institution, and shows to the people how he intends to make it pay its own debts, without any taxation upon the peo- which he will be by an overwhelming majority, he aoiN do it. In 1861, when the Real Estate Bank is wound up and settled, the State of Arkansas will be free from all indebtedness on expenditure of the peoples money sufficient to bring the concern to showing and settle ment.
 | fEFThe contest for the presidency will be be- tween the democrats and the abolitionists Mr. Fillmore is nowhere in the race. He will not possibly carry three States in the Union. In many States he will not have even an electoral ticket Here at the south Buchanan and Breck enridge will carry every state. Kentucky alone IS doubtful and we think Breckenrdges nom. nation will secure that
 At the north there is no earthly chance fo Fillmore to carry single State The Know Nothing party has gone over to the abolition party and will support the black republican can didate. The race at the north will be entirely between Buchanan and the black republican Either MT. Buchanan or a black republican will be our next President
 Here at the south, why should men throv away their votes? Every vote given for Fill more is indirsctly vote for the abolition can didate. It is vote for the aboltionist, becaus, it is vote against MT. Buchanan. Let south erners then choose between Mr. Buchanan an( black republican. The choice must be made Mir.

The Platform of the National Democracy

The Platform of the National Democracy. 1 We present to our readers this morning the l platform of the national democracy. With the exception of the Declaration of Indepen- dence 1t is the nobest document ever present- cd to the American people for their approval It has no blemlsh--it covers the whole ground It IS document that protects the rights of the south. ltprotects southern interests and south ern institutions. Every southerner may we'll be proud to stand upon it. It dodgrs no issue it shrinks from no responsibility. In plain and lntelgble English, it marks out the policy of the national democracy upon every question:
 The best of it is, 1t originated with the north- ern democracy, and received the support of every delegation of every State in the Union The south and the north the east and the west, lndorse 1t, and upon its unanimous adoption, sent upa shout of joy and cxultaton that never be- fore was heard in the city of Cincinnati.
 We have not space to-day more than to di- rect the attention of the southern people to the national democratic platform Hereafter we shall institute comparison between it and the miserable abortion adopted by the Know Nothings at Philadelphia.

Senator from Conway, Perry and Yell.
 We are in receipt of paper numerously signed, protesting against the action of the last senatorial convention of the democrats of Con- way, Perry and Yell Also paper numerous ly signed in favor of the nomination. The papers with the signatures are too long for in- sertlon in our paper at present. We regret this dissatisfaction at this time as we are struggling against willy and interruptions foe. It is ab- solutely necessary that we should have unity and harmony in our party. Personal prefere h. ces should be buried and forgotten We hope and trust the democrats of this senatorial dis. trict will see the propriety-the necessity of harmonizing all differences.
 The following call for new convention at Lewisburg, we give in to-day's issue, without giving any opinion of our own in regard to it. The democrats of Conway, tell and Perry are the sole arbiters in the matter We hope they will act wisely and deliberately:

Railroads.

We were rejoiced last Saturday to meet in our city Judge Cross of Hempstcad county Mir. Withcrspoon of Clark, Mr. Moore of White and Judge Hughes of Saline These gentle men are all directors in the Cairo and Fulton railroad company and visit our city upon the affairs of that enterprise. Mir. Beebe, the Pre- sldent of the company, we regret is absent His impaired health has compelled him to seek re 1 lief in travel. He started several weeks aqc for the White Sulphur Springs of Virginia where he hopes to recover from the malady , which at present so severely atflicts him.
 Judge Cross is this far upon his way to Mis- sourl, as the joint agent with Judge Kitchen ol that State, to attend to the interests of the com pany and to make arrangements to put the en- tire Missouri division of the road under con. tract. The means provided for the building o that division are already ample, though large additional amount is promised upon the arriva there of Judge Cross with the necessary autho rlty to receive 1t. The work will be very soor commenced at Cairo and will be pushed to tho Arkansas boundary with the greatest dispatch
 Of Judge Cross ability and determination tc advance the interests of the company, and th, prospects of the road, every one knows. He deyotes great deal of attention to the subject and spares neither time nor labor in his endea vors. We are glad to meet him and to see hin so hopeful and enthusiastic He speaks of tn, construction and success of the entire road a fixed fact No enterprise ever had mor able and efficent friend--a more constant ant unwearied advocate. When success shal crown his efforts, as we hope and firmly believ, 1t soon will, he and his CO., laborers, who hav worked so faithfully, will be regarded as bene factors to the State. They will secure plac in the grateful remembrance of the people tha no time or circumstance can ever obliterate May success-early and complete success-at fond tbom

 His Exceency ELIAS \. CONWAY, Governor of Arkansas: NiR-ln response to your inquiries of yesterday, submit the following report the result of my cXu imitation, viz:
 There have been cancelcd and filed in the Trcasu- ry since Both September. S54. to date. three hun dred and itty-toUr Real Estate Bank Bonds amount ing, in principal and interest, to the sum of 24,5S2 10 And in the same time there have been

 cpal and interest, Ia the sum of 3o7 "A 93 Together 52T bonds, making the sam of sl032, ,327 03
 Collectors of revenue and purchasers of forfeited lands have paid into the Treasury since the 3Oth September lS54, ten thousand four hundred and fifty five dollars in Arkansas bank notes on account ! of State revcllue.
 And there k now in the Treasury on general re- venne account ill specie the sum of $l56 5yr 63 From which deduct state scrip ontstand- 1 ing and unrcdcerned, not having been presented for payment, 326 96
 Balance, Sl56 ,lS0 67 Leaving the above balance in the Treasury on this day. on general revenue account, subject to pay or dinary expenses of the State. i Very rcSpt!y your ob't scrv't A. II. RUTHERFORD. Let it be remembered that this shows the condition of the State Treasury now, after Con- way has held the reins of government for three years and half When Gov Conway took charge of the State government there was not a single dollar of specie in the vaults of the State Treasury the State had consde- rably over one hundred thousand dollars of State scrip outstanding and unredeemed
 All of this outstanding scrip has now been redeemed and taken in, and still according to the showing of Col. Rutherford, the Treasurer, there is now in the treasury over one hundreti and .ffty-sie Mousand dollars, ID goM and silver.
 Does this look like ruin? Let the people answer the question.
 And again, Gov. Conway has caused to be cancelled and filed in the Treasury over one million of dollars of the States indebtedness on account of the banks All this he has done. When he came into office there was not one single Real State Bank boud cancelled and filed with the treasurer
 Does these things show that the State is ruined? Intelligent people will scout the idea, and impartial people will award to the Cover nor his full share of credit.
