Arkansas true Democrat., 1858-08-25
What the Arkansas Papers Say.

customs and precedents of the democracy from the days of Jefferson to the present time Without organization the democratic party have some times been defeated--with organi- zation they have almost invariably succeeded. Jet us hereafter organize throughout, and sue cess will as certainly be attained as the day of election rolls round"
 The following from the White River Demo- crat is gratifying.
 The papers all through the State, with the exception of those at Fort Smith, speak of the qniet, peaceable behavior of the voters:
 "1'he election on the 2. passed off much better than is general, on such occasions. No rows nor fights took place; neither was there drunken man to be seen. If so. he kept very still. Everything was quiet, and business went on as usual, none seeming the least excited-- We don't presume any other town in the s ate can boast of such universal coolnsss, on that siay, among the people. Every one seemed to cast his vote with firmness and decision"
 The same paper has the following caustc re- marks concerning the retirement of the re mains of Mr. Monroe:
 The New York Tribune says that grand pageant with which the public were to have been treated on the occasion of the removal of the remains of Ex President Monroe from that city to Richmond, was wretched failure'- that there was really nothing like the show that was gotten up at the funeral of Bill Poole' This, the Tribune attributes to the fact, that t was managed by democratic city council. which 1t says the people of New York are averse to following tLe lead of in any thing.
 Here is another evidence of that striking dif- ference in tastes that characterize different communities. Bill Poole,' professional pu- gialit and baudy house rowdy. having been murdered in 2 grog shop by drunken fore gner. was esteemed a martyr to the cause of intense Amercauism' and buried with funeral ceremo- njes exceeding in show ten times the respect shown the remains of an llustrious prtriot ard President. Mir. Monroe was a gallant soldier in the Revolutionary war, a distinguished states man, Christian and sage. But such services are foo tame and commonplace for q sensation city like New York, in comparison with the adven- lures If vulgar bully and know no hing rowdy? All this goes to confirm the opinion advanced at the beginning of our government by Mr. Jefferson, that great cities are pesten- tal 10 the morals, health, and the liberties of mauknd' What kind of government wosld we have, if We had any at all, if our country was made up of such population aj iuhabt New York, Baltimore, Louisville and New Or leans?"
 By the bye, we must not omit to notice that the editor of the said White River Democrat has been elected a justice of the peace. The craft in the north is looking up. Another edi- tor was elected county and probate judge. still another, clerk of the circuit court.- Further south editors fared badly.
 The editor of the Gazette was beaten and according to his statement, by weak man, Col. Terry is gentleman in every sense Of the word, and is so esteemed by all his neighbors aud acquautances. But, admitting for the sake of the question we wish to put, that Col Terry IS what the Gazette says he is, let us ask if frerry could beat him 269 votes how many would a reliable truthful man have beaten him? It appears that large majority of the people iu tbe district think Col. Terry the better maa.
 Now, if he is the wretch Dlnlev saws he is wh'i must the people think of Dlaley? Afler iaug canvass aud full examination of the claims and characters cf both men, the people have decided in favor of Terry James A Jones, another editor, wts beaten for Cousr ,houG he ran without the hope of being eec.- el; in other words, " for the grandeur of the tAing.' Scott, of the Traveller was beaten for the $ a.4 Senate ard Penny, of the P4ac,fa Times, for representative.
 The people in the northern portion of the S'ate te7er appreciate the knights of the gml Or dey, the eij.ore, are better olccaouecrs ihan the.r southern brethren.

 The Jefferson Independent comes freighted with racy and original articles. We learn from that paper that they had qnite a rejoicing at the success of the candidates elected, part of the affair being a balloon ascension
 The Independent gives us this information a shelved politician.
 We learn from a gentleman lately from Dewitt, Arkansas county, that Col Fergdson was some few days since at that place awaiting the election returns from this county with great "iIAA N' " HCH tuc bSuitS Oi HIS immense minority were given him, he grew outrageous and wonderfully belgerant, pulled off his coat and swore he could whip any d--n know nothing in the county; that he had two hun dred of them to whip and he would perform that kindly office for them, if ever the traitors placed foot within the sacred boundaries of his earthly possessions; they had brought him cut asa candidate and then threw him off the bllck- hearted reprobates'

 We would advise the Col. not to ayitate himself, but keep as cool as the state of the weather will permit. He might hurt some body, or tear his own linen. He ought to he good democrat enough to submit without a murmur to the will of the majority
 Speaking of some stalks of cotton sent to him, the editor says:
 They are by far the finest stalks we have
