The " famlly'' is now in power in this State and owe the Real Estate Bank, and wish to rule the people with an iron rod. and put every man out of office that dares to oppose their line of policy, to make their cubs fat of the hard earnings of the poor man. Col. Fer guson has opposed this policy, and for this sir they wish to rule him out of office.
 Now. NIT. Editor. will the people say that such course is fair play7 No, sir; the people are not going to suffer any such conduct to pass their notice without giving it a rebuke. The masses are for Col. Ferguson, and if he will consent to become a candidate they will sustain him at the ballot box. They are calling on him daily-both old line whigs, democrats and know nothings-to consent to become candl- date for State Senator. He has not yet given his consent, but hope he will find it conve- nient to do so; and if he does, you will see a perfect shucking made of that brag horse, Hon. Thos. Fletcher Col. Ferguson beat him in 1854, and can do it again.
 By your permission you will hear from me again soon.
 Yours, most respectfully
 A DEMOCRAT.

 II he signature of "A Democrat" copied from the Napoleon Planter, and reply to it by ''An old Guard" It is not our habit to notice any scurrilous attacks by the cores pondents of other papers, and though the arti- cle in the Planter was seen by us soon after its appearance, we intended to treat 1t with that silent contempt that its demerits deserve We only alude to it now, because our correspon- dent has thought proper to reply, and to say that we do not believe that Col. Ferguson n- tends running as an independent candidate.- However much this particgla lar friend of his may join laudation of him with abuse of the demo- cracy, does pot affect our confidence that policy, at least, would prompt Col. Ferguson to abide by the action of the convention We have Tot been informed that he is or intends to be an in- dependent candidate For his sake, we hope not. It might please few know nothings, who not being able to beat democrat any other way, would induce one to run against nomi- nee and have him beaten, but 1t would be bad example to be set by one who claims to be democrat and who has been the recipient of favors from the democratic party. Until some thing more definite is shown, we shall refuse to believe that Col. Ferguson intends to endeavor to distract the party, and if he does, we can tell him that in the game of politics, the player who "goes it alone" is almost invariably "euchered.n

WORDS.

No error Is more common among the people, than the belief that public maA's influence is in proportion to his huency of speech. At the bar, or in legislative halls, the orator at certain stages of the case or of the debate, has an ad- vantage over an opponent who has not an equal command of language, but even there, the most influential and successful are those who make the fewest speeches. How often have we seen a windy lawyer harangue jury for hours and if he gaines his cause do it by sheer humbug- gery, while in similar case, another attorney, putting in a proper plea and supporting it with a few remarks or a simple reference to the law wins it quietly. Tie client of the first will pay his fee cheerlully, for though he lost his suit yet his adversary was abused in good set terms, while the client of the other grumbles as he pays his attorney because his cause was won so easily. So true Is this, that attorneys often make speeches when they know that the better policy would be to submit their cases without argument, because their clients expect a speech, and a certain number of words is required to satisfy them. h the halls of legislation we see men who speaking but seldom and then briefly, carry every measure they favor and crush those they oppose, while the mere man of words, though he talk on every possible oc- casion, fails to influence or convince.
 The work of legislation is done outside of the halls, in committee rooms and in private dis cussious. \ few remarks; plain statement of case, or an explanation made as clearly and concsely as possible, will, nine times out of ten, effect more than a speech hours in length.- Notwithstanding this, the western people re- qure that their representatives should talk much should make long speeches and flood the country with words. No matter how much they may neglect the real business of legislation, no matter If they never originate or support wise measure, if they only make many speeches the people are satisfied and point to them as model legislators
 Congress has become mere debating society. hall for spouters, and the interests and busi- ness ot the nation are unattended to, in order that so many millions of words shall be utter ed and published to satisfy the voracious, word- eating public. Upwards of one hundred and twenty set speeches were made during the pre- sent session of Congress on the Kansas question alone. The Declaration of Independence was conceived, executed, adopted and promulgated with fewer speeches than are now required to dispose of any one of the ordinary measures acted upon in Congress. In all representative assemblies the man of sound judgment the thinker and the worker will effect more and have more influence than the mere word -monger or professional speech-maker; and hence the unfairness in measuring the services of public man by the speeches he has made instead of the measures he has originated, the labor he has performed, the votes he has given and the abuses he has corrected.

c.mden Conuenfion

We learn tha. this body nominated that true gentleman and sterling democrat, Col Albert Rust, as the democratic candidate for Congress in the second district The proceedings of the convention. we are told, were harmonious and the nomination male on the first ballot Either of the three gentlemen prominent be- fore the people for representative in Congress, would have gracefully filled that postion-and had either of the others received the nomina- ton would have had the support of the united democracy. Between Mitchell, Flournoy and Rust it was truly "an embarrassment of riches in the convention, and the selection of one does not prejudice the fame ef the others. Of Col. Rust's abilities and fitness for the station, he has already given proofs, if any were needed- Bold and able in debate, sound to the core in his political opinions, able to present and will ling to defend them, his nomination will be hail. ed with ioy by the democracy and his election will be as certain as he lives till August next.
 We will publish the proceedings of the con- vention next week, if they arrive in time.

 EDITOR TRUE DEMOCRAT. In your last issue under the caption of isms, you make few re- marks in regard to Utah and the Mormons, to which you append au article from the Cleve- land (Ohio) Herald. The editor in speaking of water cure desgnates it as love cure The article alluded to must have been dictated by gross ignorance or culpable malice for the edi- tor must know that there is water cure eStab- lishments kept by persons of the highest res probability, and that it is very common thing in Ohio for physicians to advise their patients after their efforts fail to visit those establish ments, and he must know that cures are effect ed that no other method has ever effected. I should feel that was not discharring my duty to the afflicted and to the keepers of the water cure at the Yellow Springs, who are as good and respectable people as any country can boast of not to rebut with my experience the impression sought to be made I must give history of my own case and leave you to judge. My sickness was preceded by loss of voice, next paralysis, then I fell from my horse with it, then had the attention of as good pbv- Slclans as the country affords and was some what relieved, though not cured so conclud ed to try the water cure. When reached the establishment, my weight was 1855, my usual weight in health, being 1855, my bowels Were generally deranged, my hands and feet were very cold or burning, and my feet were swell ing, my head was continually roaring as though l had been taking large doses of quiuiue. and a mistep or slight blow about the neck or shoulders was exceedingly painful, and was so feeble that in going up stair I had to assist myself by the rail.
 Alter being at the establishment seven weeks weighed, and had gained sevea pounds, my head was relieved, and I felt quite we'll, and have no doubt but that am indebted to the water cure for my existence to-day.
 Now, Mir. Editor, hope you will post up for think you are doing injustice to one of the greatest discoveries of the age, and your article might prevent some unfortunate invalid from giving 1t trial indeed. hope our physicians will give 1t an examination, for assure you that it is no humbug

MoB AT PEORIA, ILL.-HoUsEs OF ILL FAME DEsTRoYED.-The St. Louis Evening News, of the 22d ult., has the following:
 The people of Peoria became exasperated last Sunday at the conduct of notorious fel- low, Clark Cleveland, keeper of house of ill., fame on account of his enticement of young woman into his den, where she was ruined, and determined to demolish his establishment Accoi dingly large crowd collected at his house Tn the night, at preconcerted alarm of fire, and poured stream of water through the win dow, drenching it from top to bottom. The females escaped in their night clothes. The doors were next battered down, and all the furniture and appointments of the house, con- slsting of fine sofas, chairs, bedsteads, bureaus, silks, satins, wines and liquors, dragged into the street and piled up in front. The heap was then set on fire and consumed Another es- tabshment, kept by Mrs. Howard, fortune teller" was also demolished, and the owners of two others forced to promise to break up and leave.

The Pacific Railroad.

At the proper time, we will answer the article in the Fort Smith Times on this subject Itis true that Senator Johnson expressed a prefer ence for the southern route and no doubt had his reasons therefor. The editor of the Times was not aware, perhaps, that strong effort was being made in favor of the northern route, that the Missouri delegation were backed by all the members from the north and northwest, and that John Bell, of Tennessee in the Senate opposed the fixing of the eastern terminus at Memphis, his strong northern proclivities in- ducing him to prefer St. Louis Under these circumstances, it may have been policy to advo cate the other extreme so as to effect a comnro. mise on the middle route, or it may have been that 1t was the only route that would command strength enough to contend against the northern influence

HIGH WATERs.-The NJ ssssippi river at the latest accounts was higher than in 1844, and only wanted at some places, five inches, at others, nine, of being up to the high water mark of 1928. The crevasse opposite New Orleans is still open, all efforts to close it having proved intellectual, aul has done immense damage Speaking of this, reminds us that 1t is generally believed that the break of the Arkansas State levee, opposite and four miles above Memphis, was the willful act of some scoundrel It is to be hoped that he will be caught and punish ed to the utmost extent of tbe law.
 In the city of New Orleans a hundred men under the superntendence of the mayor were at work on the evee in the vicinity of the city.
 The N. 0. Picayune has the following tele. gram:
 Overflow of Diamond Island Inevitable.
 Fcksburg, May 4.-The river has now attain ed such height that four inches more will take the water over Diamond Island levee, and there are now no hopes of saving it.
