Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-11-09

disorganizing course.
 He was particularly severe on the editor of the True Democrat, because he did not denounce the friends of Judge Sebastian, for holding private conversations relative to the election then pending. Now, why blame Richard H. Johnson, the editor of the central organ of the democratic party, because he twas neutral in the 6ght?" What right had Col. Hindman, or any other gentleman holding an office at the hands Of his party to interfere, dictate or meddle in a caucus where he is not entitled to voicce-when there is no candidate before that caucus, except true and tried democrats? The editor of the central organ of his party, should not interfere with the representatives of his party, and we think that Mir. Johnson, as editor of the True Democrat exhibited a manly patriot ism, and commendable course of conduct, in leaving caucus of his party free and< z untrammeled, and afterwards, as he always does, support it's nominees with zeal and fervor This is one great reason why Richard H. Johnson occupies the proud position, in the great heart of the demo- cratic party, which he this day enjoys; which position is being strengthened daily by the malignant assaults of the opponents of the democratic party.
 During the canvass of last summer Col. Hindman denounced good democrats in the district for not supporting caucus candi- dates; now he says R. II. Johnson is un- worthy ot our support, because he supported ha n of l,o II
 Ought not Colonel Hindman blush to use such arguments, when the entire democratic vote of the General Assembly was cast for the caucus nominee, thus indorSing to the fullest extent its action Is it not good policy for us as party in the State, to
 ndorse the action of our representatives on questions which meet our approval? It is well known fact, that the representa- tives of the north and eastern portion of our State; nearly the entire district which Col. Il. represents, were positively instruct ed to cast their votes for Judge Sebastian; and we have never vet heard of the people. in any of these counties, complaining of their members to the Legislature for thus voting. but on the contrary, their action is fully indorsed, and Col. Hindman should be satisfied. But, ah! that thirst for place and power Judge Sebastian was in the way of the honorable gentleman, in the next senatorial election-the locality, the ability, integrity and devotion of Judge Sebastian, were all fatal to this unhallowed ambition of the Helena gentleman
 On the per diem question, the gentleman denied having any participation in inAuenc- ing the action of the Legislature, and indeed, he answers the questions of the True Demo- crat, on this subject, all in the negative; but at the same time he twists, squirms and turns the question over and over, but finally brings the whole thing, with it's iniauities. up in very favorable light, and his argu- ments, tact and dissimulation, iustities fully, the taking of the PER DIEM. He defends the legality of the thing, and at tempts to throw the onus upon Goy. Con. way, but according to his own showing, the Governor exercised a discretion which the constitution gives him, and thus saved the State thousands of dollars The Gov. lii exercising q perogative which the con- stltutlon made obligatory, does not justify the members taking pay for services not rendered.; yet, to answer the unholv ends and eXactions of this ambitious Ajax, the great political, legal and moral interests of the people and State, must be rendered sub servlent to this wholesale plunder of the State treasury, and thus pave the way for the Hon. T. C. Hndman, (for nothing but the downfall of the purity, greatness and felicity of the party and State, seems to advance his interest.) This question alone, will sink Hindman, with per diem takers surrounding him-calling for help "Help me Cassius or 1 sink! " But there is no help for iniquitous measures and political t1cksters. The sober reflection of the peo- pie, will hurl this arch agitator, with all his sins, and that of his few remaining reasonable serfs, from the high places, and they will fall topfing into oblivion, and there will be "none so poor, as to do him homage!"
 The bank question was literally smashed up by Col. II. He brought it up, and argued 1t in such a way and manner, so mystihed 1t, that we are left utterly in the | dark, as to his real ws-aclnowledged that Col. Biscoe, his daddy-in-loao, had swindled the bank, or at least, that The is heavily indebted to it. From his position on this question, he is undoubtedly pursuing a course of policy, that, if carried out will inevitably lead to ruinous consequences and entail upon the State-that worst of all evils-repudiation. We call upon all who heard the gentleman, to reflect study and analize his views, and see what you can make of them, and ten to one you will agree with us. The bank policy of Cover nor Conway has been pursued with sue cess, for the last seven years, and no one, in all the State, ever raised voice of con demnation against t, until Col H. become disatfected with the democratic party But on the contrary, every Legislature and the whole people, has fully indorsed the views and policy of the Governor, they have been carried out, and now the "sealed book, 's this incubus upon the State, has been opened and removed to such an extent, as to ex
 pose Henry {. Biscoe and others in robbing the people through this channel. AA now that the Bank is about to be wound up satisfactorily to the interest of the State, and the Governor getting the credit of clos | ing out the concern, with honor to himself and to the advantage of the people, and thereby forcing it's managers to disgorge their ill-gotten gains--this champion . becoming desperate, and is eecting his "doubledyed, blue ruin'' to cover up his unholy warfare upon his party.
 Col. Hindman showed up by official documents, the amount of indebtedness of the Johnsons but by the same documents showed that they had fully paid up, the last dollar Then, where the necessity of alludlng to it on this point; the gentleman proved to the satisfaction of every body, that the Johnsons were solvent, and not indebted to any bank. Hence, we say nothing more on this subject.
 Col Hindman read some letters fromthe Governor, R. II. Johnson and others,' to show that they entertained different views in years gone by, from what they do now. This was gross betrayal of confidence, to say the least of it. This we answer by say ing, that the devil and fallen angels once could show pure record; but now they are in he'll and damnedi Col. Hindman once
