Arkansas true Democrat., 1857-11-17
Col. N. B. Burrow.

The following from the Pine Bluff Democrat we cannot permit to pass without a notice:
 "The True Democrat thinks that Col Bur- row is not a rotationist. As reioinder, we CO., py the following from the Napoleon Planter, merely adding that we KNOW Col Burrow to be simon pure bona Jfie rotationtst and as much opposed to Dick Johnson ct al sucking all the teats to the exclusion of greater men, as we are, and heaven knows we are opposed tooth aud nail to the longer continuance ill office of the John son family and their satalites. Col. Burrow is thorough rotationist, and the True Democrat need not think 1t can purchase his silence on this or any other subject. If Burrow is made ot the stern stuff we think he is, he is not dis posed to sell his birth right for a mess of pot tage, nor his honesty for the smiles of the Louis Napoleons of Arkansas:
 Our readers will readily imagine our sur prise upon reading the above in the Pine Bluff Democrat when we assure them that, within the last few months, we have frequently heard Col. Bumow express his opposition to rotation in office as a practice of the democratic party, and his warm personal friendship for ourself- To use plain language, either the editor of the Pine Bluff Democrat is guilty of falsehood or Col. Burow is base hypocrite.
 As to the editors tOoA and nait' opposition to ourself, we care nothing. Probably he has good cause for his hatred of the "Johnson fami- ly." He attempted and disgracefully failed to levy black mail upon member of that family, and hence his bitterness. Had he succeeded he would in all probability have been as pliant as he is now abusive.
 Col. Burrows friendship, too, is matter of indifference to us. He is candidate for the United States Senate and we are not. If. in order to succeed, he deems it necessary to wage " tooth and nail' opposition to us, the field is open. We ask no quarter from any one and, when unjustly assailed, give none. If he tra- vels out of his way to attack us, we imagine be- fore he reaches the goal of his ambition, he wifi regret his rashness.
 In justice to Col. Burrow, and to place him, as we desire always to place all democratic as pirants to office, upon high and honorable ground we stated, some weeks since, what we believed to be his position upon the question of rotation. Our statement was derived from Col. Burrows own lips. He told us frequently and earnestly that he looked upon the policy of rotation in office as both dangerous and anti nti-democratic- Ii he has really changed his views since his re- cent conversations with us, we must henceforth regard him as of too unstable character to repre- sent the dignity and honor of Arkansas in the United States Senate. But on the contrary, if he has been one thing to us and another to the Pine Bluff Democrat, or in others words, |" all things to all men," with the view of currving favor with all parties, he is too much hypo- crite to be worthy of the confidence of the de- mocratic party.
 We have no faith in the integrity of the edi- tor of the Pine Bluff Democrat, and therefore place but little confidence in any thing he asserts We say this much in justice to Col Burrow; but as the Pine Bluff Democrat has put itself forward as his special organ, and, therefore, seems to speak "by authority" its statements have placed him in so awkward and disreputable position that 1t becomes necessary for him to make his opinions public over his own signature. Uutil he does or fails to do so, we shall with hold further comments.
