II The insoent upstart Of the Crockett '.trgus'
seems to have courtel controversy with us from The
day The concern was started We can have no res
pcct for the editor as long rs he sets truth and de-
cency aside in his illusions to political course In
his issue of the 18th of Sept, the etor crowds into
bne short article much slang and falsehoo as usu
ally graces the columns of such paper. This Pres
ton Hay, who, if are correctly Informed, has
probably not been in the State twelve months grave
ly and udicously .enough, in pursuance of his Or
iers from his masters Austin, proceeds to put us
beyond the pale of the Democratic party. We are
not advised to the anteccdents of Preston ay or
Col Preston Hay, where he come from, or how long
hehas been democrat. We only kn8w from the
conduct of his paper that he arrogant urstart,
who has been imported to this State, and placed like
negro driver with lash in hand over the free demo-
Gratis of Texas who have fought all its bates stood
in every breach and saved the party in every
trial Mr.. Hay will find that the veteran DEM
ocrsts whom he is sandering and yillifying, Will
respect his authnity, about .hucl " they do THAT
of his masters and the only notice either will receive
from thcn, will be to he kcked.eutsOf tie.way. Mr.
Hay is not the right stripe of man to affect the bull
ly. 1t won't pay in Tsses ~ how.
Since writing the above we have seen the 'Intelll-
genoer, of the lst inst, which throws light on
the antecedents of Preston Hay, of the Argus. The
tntclligencet says:
ExrBAlNsU-We had been at a loss to know
why the Crockett Argus and Henderson Bea-
Con were continually carping at the inteliisen=
Ger. We now see that the Argus owns un
That the editor was regular member of Sans
councils for a long time, and Of course bitter
hater of the Pope the Dutch and the greas.
ers''TABut he says he was received into the
Democracy cat regular meetng" was a mem
ter Of the Waco and Tyler conventions, and
hence has as good ri hit to persecute old un-
offending demccratsi in the, name of judicial
convention democracy, as Paul had to perse=
cute the aarly christians. A friend tells US
that the Beacon editor is from the same school,
They are both men who have changed their
churches, but hold on to the faith of the Phila-
delphia Platform, and innocenty think the
democratic organization government-
With such papers as the Civilian, the Ranger,
the Dallas Herald the Carksville Standard,
and the Planter. we have always been able to
get along most kindly. But to those which
went into the order. or failed to get in because
of the "furrin" birth Of the editors, the lntelli-
pencer seems TO be Mordeeai ia the kings
gate We do not complain of this; it is nat
nral enough. Old sympathies are Of long du-
ration, The wors: tyrants in the world are
vouf drivers Men who have been sworn to
think under the orders of the council, can rare
ly ever tolerate freedom of thought. The ex-
ceptons to this rule are not your editors who
nut their political antecedents in conspicuous
positions. With so many boilers who receiv-
ed our blows, while they were In the order,
how can we expect to be at peace! Dr. Dick
son, the Gazette editors, and the WIS 'riSe
who still feel the influence of the sec an
ization, must lie, like the Indian'e free SO
straight that they lean backwards. Every an
imal does net open its eyes IN nine days. But
these men will come right some day. While
tbey only see men as trees walking. their con-
demnations assure us that we soc the deinocra-
tic path clearly.
II thus appears from his own paper, which we
have net seen, that while We as democrat were
warrins to the knife against the hateful principles
and organization Of know nOthingisn, that worldly,
was one Of its sworn miniOus. engaged in guerrilla
warfare against the democratic organization Of the
