 1st October, 1856.
 From the State Rights Democrat, Oct. 9. An Arkansas Know Nothing in OhiO-.He
 libeis the South--and aids Fremont.
 It will be remembered that the Know Noth- ngs in our State have upon their electoral tick ct quasi citizen of Ohio-one Judge Sutton This Judge Sutton was lately in Ohio and made a speech to a Fillmore meeting" in Columbus In that speech we learn from black republican prints that he harped long and loud upon the late libel upon the democratic party which de- l clares it to be southern "sectional party."- This libel was cpncocted by H. Winter Davis, the only Judas in this present house of repre- sentatives, and his confreres It has been free ly circulated in the north and touched upon south by the most ultra and imprudent of the Know Nothing press. It is a islander so palpa- bly, false and 50 extremely barefaced that we did not deem it worthy of notice before But now since one pretending to represen, the sentiment of Arkansas before an Ohio all- dience has given the weight of his testimony to support the libel it becomes our duty to de. 1 ny 1t. In the name of the democracy of Ar kansas and for the sake of truth, and common sense, and plain reason, we pronounce the whole | thing sheerless iabrication, an unmitgated Ii. bel, a shameless falsehood. There may be sec tional democrats in Arkansas who are the poli 1 tcal antipodes of Judge Sutton on the slavery question; but they are individual instances, and Judge Sutton knows it if he knows anything We say political antipoles of Judge Sutton because we believe he is at heart an abolitonist Our reason for believing this is derived from reading the notice of his Columbus speech iu | the Ohio State Journal, the organ of abolition ism in Ohio The ultra abolition sheet thus lauds the Judge.
 ''- introduced to the audience Judge Sutton of Arkansas, who came forward and made speech which lasted nearly if not quite three hours, aud we frankly admit that 1t was, far as 1t related to the slavery issue, and the miserable, sectional, pro-slavery, vas clllaiing character of Buchanan and his party a most admirable production. It was candid and truthful, and ably put The remainder of the speech was devoted chiefly to Americansm, with which we do not intend at this time to meddle. The Judge undoubtedly would be d warm supporter of Fremont if he lived in Ohio. He showed how the democratic party had de- nled the right of petition; how they had al ways sided with tue pro slavery party to get votes aud how at last, to cap the climax of their rascalities they had repealed that great bond of Union and of peace and brotherhood, the Mis- Sourl compromise. The few remarks he made dsparaging to Col. Fremont and the free State men in Kansas we shall not notice farther than to say that his statement that Col. Fremont struck Foote of Mis- in the Senate, Is a clear misrepresentation of the facts. It lCaS Foote that struck at Fremont, and Foote afterwards apologlsed for his rudcness. We believe ndge Sutton to be man of truth, and one who would not misrepresent a political opponent, and we have no doubt that when he shall be informed of the facts of the difficulty which occurred between Fremont and Foote, he will do ample justice to the gallant PATHFINDER.
 To this gentle hint, or on account of the small hlarney the Judge comes to the defence of the gallant Pathfinder" after the following fa- shion.

 MEssRs. ScHoULER < Co., Gentlemen: Your paper (Ohio State Journa) has been placed in my hands, n which you charge me with mis- fepresenting facts, touching the difficulty be- tween Senator Foote and Col Fremont. spoke entirely from memory in your cWy on the evening of the 10th, and confess 1 had not then, nor have 1 now any very distinct re- collection of that circumstance, but during the day at Columbus gentleman put in my hands paper styled "poItical questions" (continu- ed) saving " Col. Fremont knocked down Se. nator Foote and sent him challenge, without any reason except for decorous words spoken in debate" This was an Ohio document, al d l supposed l might use it. If injustice has been done Col. Fremont, regret it.
 If you should see proper to make any use of this letter in justice to MT. Fremont, will you please place me right upon the record in regard to the address aforesaid, and send me a copy of your paper, and obge
 Your obedieut servant,

 This letter and speech of our Know Noth- ing eector Is now being used in Ohio as a great gun for the Pathfinder.' No wonder the Know Nothings and abolitionsts fuse in the North. Why shouldn't they?
