Arkansas true Democrat., 1858-07-14
The Canvass in Jackson and White
 Counties.

We uudegstand that Israel Nj. Moore the de- mocrat.c nominee for State Senator in Jackson and White counties, in consequence of his hay ing advertised a general land agency office in this citv, Is ch4rsel with not being eli, ea of the district iu when he is a caldiate I0 0,l,- personal kno'ol-ige tIe cao1ge $ nod true. We know Mr. Moore intimately a;d have often convcrsed with hm. Though havirg all oflice here he never cons lereI L:ttie Rock as his re- s.dence. He never exercised any of the rights of citizen of tuis place. lie always claimed White coua;y as his home, and always spoke of it'as such. This We know. and there are many others here who would testify to the same thing.
 The charge against Mr. Moore that as q director of the Cairo and Fulton railroad com pany, he has attempted to oppre%s the settlers upon the railroad lauds is equally unjust and unfounded. We have served in that company with Mr. Moore and know what his action has been. While he h.. contended for the con struction of tEe road aud abored for it's in terests, he always maintained that the company should deal iuslly-even generously, with those ind viduas who had settled and made improve ments upon the railroad lands. IL is Lot the purpose of the company to rob any man of any of his rights, or, where he is settler upon rail- road lands without any right, to deal hardly by him. It is necessity with the company to re- spect the rights of all, and 1t is a matter deeply to be regretted that an enterprise If so much importance to the peopies should be subjected to so many petty interpretations to serve a a temporary political purpose.
 If we have ever known just and an upright man Isral NJ. Moore is one, and all charges de. rogatory to his charges as goo,. man, ii inves- tgated, will be found to be groundess He is. too, man of nigh intelligence, and of steady and laborious habits, and, if elected, will make an energetic, faithful and honest representative of the district.
 Democrats of Jackson and White counties should remember the contest of 1854, for the same office. Arthur Hays, the democratic mo- minee was beaten under the same circulnstan- ces that LOW surround their present nominee- A know uothing and a disorg gmiizing democrat were running in opposition, and an kinds of stories, ulterly unfounded in truth, were circu- lated to the injury of Col. Hays, and he was beaten by the know nothing candidate who. in every conceivable manner possible, brought dis grace upon the body into which he was elected Let democrats remember this, and receive with caution the thousand and one reports circulated by interested persons against their nominee.- Reports started in canvass should always be received with many grains of allowance. They are most always exaggerated and often down. right falsehoods.
 There are doubtless many good and true de. I mocrats to whom Mr. Moore is personally oh. | jecslonable. It Is impossible to nominate any man who is universally acceptable, but what of that? We are contcndng, not for the man. bu, for the party and the principles of which he is chosen the representative. Mir. Moore is demo- crat and has ever been nnfaultering in the cause He is man oi ability, and, If elected, of whicl we cannot entertain dosht, he will be an honor to cur Senate and have no superior in it. Le, democrats disregard the idle rumors circulated against him and give him the support that, a. the nominee of our party, he deserves, and, ou word for it. they will never regret their action
