The true Democrat., 1856-01-01
A Judge for the Sixth Judicial
 Ciyrr1if

We spoke, last week, of attaching to our steam engine, in addition to our printing press a turning machine for the benefit of Dr. Bor- land. It has been suggested to us by friend, that we extend the benefits of the machine to distinguished gentleman now running for judge in the 9th judicial circuit, upon the Know Nothing ticket. We are not inclined to do so, for the reason that we do not think he needs its assistance. Borland, we know, is good at aground and lofty tumbling," but he is not able to "hold candle" to the like feats performed by Mai A. A. Stth, the present world-renown- ed aspirant for judicial honors in South Arkan- saw! Maj. Stith, at lofty somersetting, has no equal. He can beat the ring master' himself with the clown and the monkey thrown n.- Indeed it is said of him, that he is equal to a whole circus of |" India-rubber men,"
 Maj. Stith, since his " first appearance'' be- fore the Arkansas public, has given some nota- ble specimens of a practised political "tum- bler." What he had done before he came to the State, we do not know, but he evidently plays hand that shows long practice. He came here an uncompromsing whig-dyed in the woodruff of ardor and patriotism. He however, not very long ago, renounced whig- gery, and became an npen-mouthed democrat.
 He is now Kno,o Aot]ting, deeply versed in the "signs and grips" and hidden machine ry of the order Thus it appears, that Mai Stith is not a novice iii political tnmbling"
 Maj. Stth is what plain man would call an "office- seeker.' He is always eager for "wild hunt" and he will countenance no party long that does not indulge him in this his favorite pursuit. In 1851, he sought the nomination of the whig party for Congress. It was refused him by his whig brethren and conferred upon Col. John Preston. He became disgusted at this ruling out, We suppose anl renounced whiggery, for the next time we heard of Stth, all the whigs in the iand wero abusing him for having turned a democrat.
 He did not continue democrat long, how ever. The democratic party presenting him no field for a :" wild hunt,' and Know Noth- ingism coming along, he joined the Know Nothings. Maj. A. A. Stith is Know Moth Wlll all ltlc HeW DOIH Zodl Ol all I1Hte- rican" he is determined to reduce to practice the Know Nothing theory of "Americans rul- ing America;" and for that purpose, he has mounted home bred mustang, with Native American whip and a pair of Know Nothing spurs, and is pressing forward, in the "wid hunt" for the judgeship of the 9th judicial circuit
 Maj. Stith may win the race bat there are many "slips 'twixt the cup and the lips'' He is riding an untried steed, over very broken ground, and he may fall down and break a leg, while some ola ltner, numbering along the we'll beaten track of democracy, passes him and wins the stakes. We wouldn't wonder if such should be the case. These "old liners, are hard to specially those who, unlike Mai Stith, have known but one party and but one set of principles, and who have thus gained the confidence and respect of the people.
 Should such be the case, and Mai Stith is beaten, we will give him this consolation-he may avail himself of our putent turnirlg and taUisting naac]sine, and with it and his well known agility, he can soon tumble himself into some other party where he maT find another "aciM hunt"
 So courage, Major; drive the rowels home, and never mind the expense.
