Arkansas true Democrat., 1858-04-20
From ChicOt County.

Luke NAage, Ark., April f, 1858.
 Mr. EDIToR:-The ensuing elections scen to eXclte general interest. We of the swamps are involved in that interest as we'll as our friends ot neighboring counties We have no questions for discussion other than those in common with our party. We are true and loyal demopratS are for tie party nominations IS expressed in conventions by the people l have nothing to say about rotation. as am unable to see any principle in 1t. The doctrine IS as far from being democratic as the late effort Oi Col E A. W arren, in which there is a re- mark" Arkansas rIs off the rong foot" Why Is there no democracy in the Cos speech? be- cause there Is 10 sense in it. The speech is as clear of new ideas as Gen. J's docirine-rota tioE-is of principle, and the action of the Cam den convention will consider their duty to be gathered from Mir. W.'s course in the present congress, So far as his own claims for re-nomi- nation. have always contended that Col. w. was lnsincere as to his adherence to the great democratic party and its us,ges think the late course of his one eyet organ or organs. plainly foreshadow his intentions 1 think w ar ren will not do. Let us quit him: and will tell you something about Judge, Hon. The odHc r. Sorrels--a man aspiring to no office without first proving himself worthy, compe- tent, efficient, and having the rare faculty of dispensing justice with quickneSs as well as satisfaction to all parties There was never a man on this circuit so valuable as a judicial oihcer and to show his standing (bccause he will not loose twenty votes in Chcot.) 1 send for publication, that other portions of the dis trict may see, copy of the proceedings of the grand jury-the most discreet, orderly. virtu. ous, prudent, sober and intelligent body of gen. ot grand jury i significant and embodies the senti- meut of the county Hear what they say
 Hon. T. r. Sorreils.
 At meeting of the grand jury of Chicot held on the 3lst day of March, A. D. 1858, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted:
 WHEREAS, An election to fill the office of judge, for this, the second judicial district, will soon appear, and k one demanding undivided attention, as we'll as involving the dearest in terest; and whereas, an unwise selection in the judSeship might prove great misfortune in this particular to ltigants, the morals of the people and prosperity of the country.
 Resol0ed, Therefore, That in the Hon. T. F. Sorrells, we recognize gentleman highly suited to the discharge of judicial labors and posses ,ng an deficiency, dispatch of business. joined with a satisfaction and defence of justice, which be- long only to the minds of the great, good. pru- dent, virtuous and justice loving; and in him there is decision of character which. under all circumstances, tends to raise the bench and bar to that dignity and respect much practiced and commended in the prestiue days of courts.
 Resotcei, That We regard Judge Sorrels Cthe present incumbent of this circuiD as an excel lent officer; one that the citizens would do well to retain in his place as a change may hazard and disturb the orderly. consistent manner of doing business. which has been pursued from the time ot his being called to the bench-now more than four years.
 Rssoiuei, That these resolutions be presented to the court by the attorney general. with the request that the same be spread upon the records of this honorable court, and that the True Democrat give publication to the same. W. NICHOLS, Foremaa of Grand Jury
