Arkansas true Democrat., 1858-10-06
What the Arkansas Papers Say.

are insinuating the same thlng. Anu IS M''l"- len We noted the movement and remarked that if they came here to interfere with exist ing institutions we opined they would hnd the climate unhealthy. We said too, that we were not sufficiently posted on the doctrines they profess to condemn them, but from present lights our opinion unfavorable. We shall resume this subject again, simply saying here, that socialists proper, deny any connection with free love, abolition or woman's rights.
 The Arkansaw Traveller mentions Hon. Bradley Bunch. in connection with the speak ership of the next House of Representatives. He pays a deserved compliment to Messrs. Oates and Newton.
 The Jefferson Independent says: "There are five cases of yellow fever in the hospital at Napoleon, and there have been three deaths.
 The bilious looking gentleman is making his appearance uncomfortably close to us." The Smithvlle Plaindeaer under the charge of its new editor and proprietor, announces that it will be a democratic journal.
 | From the Independent Balance we learn of the successful cultivation of the Sorgho cane in that vicinity. The Balance says:
 I've saw the other day, at the store of Col. Butler, some molasses made by Mir. Blevins, of Green Brar township, from the Sorgho cane, | which Is equal to the very best sugar house moasses ever brought to this market. All that we had ever seen before had an acid taste about it which rendered it unfit for table use; but this is as free from anything of the sort as any Of the common reboied molasses from the 1 Louisiana cane Mir. Blevins, we learn, ex- pressed the juice from his cane with very sim | pie aud imperfect machinery, and consequently lost great deal of 1t, and yet the yield which he obtained was very heavy. We are low convinced that there Is really no humbug about the Sorgho, and we hope it will soon come to be generally cultivated in this secton." | The Balance has an article on the next |. $. Senator, wherein we come in for share of the editors compliments:
 | "The True Democrat with that sly reserve which is so characteristic of ii, at times, but | doubtless favors the claims o Sebastian, if we are correct in cur Interpretation Of the signs, and its saaacious editor will know how, and when, and where to use his influence"
 An, indeed? Why man, heretofore we were accused of djctatioD, of controlling, of saying | for whom the people should vote. Now, when we express no choice, it is "shy reserve" " So characteristic of us." Further on the editor says:
 "When the election is over, the fortunate candidate will be the choice of the Johnson democracy, and all the satellites of that most powerful dynasty will groan inwardly most l devout amen. For our single self, believing in ' the doctrine of submission to the acts of the representatives of the people, we shall strive to \ be satisfied with the result, be 1t hat It may; and therefore, with al! the heartne>s that could be expected of us we here say, i'll adveuce: Be t euen as Jolnsoaljsm hath l0tlled and let all the | people say dnien!
 Exactly. W hen the election is over the for tunate cal ddate will be the choice of the John son democracy, if by that term, the editor means the people. That is exactly our position. ' Maugre the supposition that we favor the claims of any one of the aspirants, we say that the choice of the General Assembly will be our choice. We have not wiled it or sought, iu any manner to control it. It is choice between \ democrats and We shall congratulate the foru- nate man. We can tell the Balance and the other papers that accuse Us of refusing to Sneeze until we wat to see the people take snuff, that, if there was fear that any but good democrat and able man could be elected. we would have TO he-itaucy in selecting one and urging union on him. The True Democrat never yet shrank from any course of action that ! seemed necessary for the success of the demo- 1 cratic party or the welfare of the State, and when we speak, it IS generally in terms that can be understood. We are sorry to see paper protesting the dignity of the Balance resort to such exploded clap-traps as are contained in its article Let the Balance do as the Persians 1 commend: " Fold the arms of patience over the breast of conteutment," and we assure him that the legislature of Arkansas will select good demScrat for the important station of L. $. Senator.
 | While the Balance is gravely 'poking sticks at us the Camden Herald, with Hon. James A. Jones edltor pitches into the democracy of Arkansas right and left The Eagle of that city being suspended, James has it all to him. self without a fear of being rapped over the knuckes by his confrere Hob>on. short time since the Herald gravely preferred and uttered charges against President Buchanan and the na- tonal democracy, but, as the President still survives and democracy tourishes, he has con- cluded to try tilt at windmls nearer home First, the editor exercises his mind in consider ing the bank debt. Hear him:
 But this bank debt of ours is serious oues- ton, and deserves to be seriously consd cred " We have heard gentlemen propose to repudate 1t altogether, but we are glad to know that the proposition meets every where with the con- tempt it deserves. Instead of being decreased by a faithful administration of the assets, the statistics show that 1t is increasing al a fearlully rapid rate. Not by hundreds, or by thousands merely, but by millions. Startling, yet true"
 Goodness gracious! Units, tens, hundreds, thousands, millions! Why James, are you not cutting it rather too fat? Let us tell you one thing. With million of dollars or at least Sl,5Oo,OO0, and the available assets, the state debt on account of the banks could be easily eXtinguished. The fact is, that Jones would run for Congress and not for the legislature. If great minds like his could have control of af fairs for while then, ah then!
 Hear him further:
 |" It is time we think that even the assinine bipeds whom we sometimes send to represent us in the legislature, should begin to be aroused to realizing sense of their own pidable ard shameful stupidity in the premises Let them investigate the matter as they should do, and as 1t Is their duty to do thoroughly"
 The members elect will please notice the manifesto and be governed accordingly. This know nothing appears to be know everything.
 Men of common sense and chosen represen- tatves of the people are termed assinine b- peds" by this editor, who goes on to say that they need little common sense quietly diff
