BROWNSVILLE, Ahh., NoNs, lcoo.
 DEAR JoHNsoN-Perhaps ought not to odaress you so familiarity, as it is said in some places that you are an aristocrat, but sbali risk it this time, even at the hazard of Seing dropped by you.
 see in one of the late numbers of your naper that Mr. Douglas, (not Stephen) of Rentonville, writes himself down as being file; now there are several kinds, the saw file. the profile, and the rattail file, as to which of these he means, 1 do not know, but presume it must be the rattail, that is. if he class himself with the disorganizers, AS they are known in some places as being the ratxnl democracy-otherp places speckle hacks. half breeds and ringtails: each de- nendent upon location, but here they are not known at all, because there is none to be found As have known Mir. Douglas personally for long time, 1 am sorry at this late day to hear that he ever thought of leaving the democratic party to wander after false lights, kneel at strange altars and worship unknown gods, if he should how ever act SD unwisely as to listen to the teach ing and doctrines of false prophets and be- come a heretic; all that 1 can do is to com mend him to the careful consideration and kind regards of my old friend, Ginger Blue, of Sebastian county.
 At last the astounding intelligence has been received that the State Rights Demo- crat will support Mir. Hindman in the next election; more, this wonderful news will starte the nation, and is what we call an independent course, almost equal to the de- claration of independence itself; particu- larly, when it is well known to most peo- pie ttU the editor was pledged and bound even before he became citizen of our State, to write what he was told, and no more: the truth IS the first, last and only condition required before taking hold of that paper, is to swear allegiance to the dictator; if such is not the fact, how. does 1t happen that every editor which that paper has had (all being strangers and freshly imported) &rltes the same abuse of the demo racy and takes the same position as to men and measures. We cannot here see the s. k. D., as they amount to the same thing blow through the same horn, and grind out the same sort of music.
 It is astonishing how men will show their temper when the people disapprove of their course. Because the legislature refused to re-eiect my old friend, John H. Crease, he in turn refused absolutely to pull against cold collar, and kicks himself out of gear. 1 think, however, in your reply, .you have sewed him up too tight and cover ed him too deep; you ought to have left lit. Al lo1o of. l, head, but it is too late now-so, farewell bre<her Crawford.
 see that the Old Line man has promis- ed to rush to the defence of the Bank Trus- tees; but the peoples servant, the firm and honest Elias N. Conway, has rushed them overheard sometime since and will be very apt to watch him little whilst he is doing so much; it may take two men to hold this bank defender now; butt we can get another such man a9 'u present Governor to fill the chair for the next eight years, 1t will take only one man to hold him, and all of these bank rats or rattail democrats will take to their holes.
 One word as the men who compose the committee for the Old Line Democrat; it is understood anl believed here that Bailey Kendall has for years been a disorganizer, and hdS not been true to his trust or to de- mocratic principles: he has ever been ready to fly off the helve and take the bushes upon the slightest provocation-
 Like the buck snuffs the breeze.
 Flies rede, ed through the trees.
 As to Wm. A. Martin, it is said he hated the democratic nomination of 1852; and voted for Wilkins. (whig) which vote help xed to elect him, and one of the nominees was beaten-as to Mr Blackburn, he is a stranger in the State, having recently come from Kentucky, and consequently has no identity here. think they will in a short time find out that they are barking up the wrong tree, and quit the hunt
 There is one pecularity which perhaps you have not noticed amongst the old liners, and that is, their great love for military titles. Where they got them or how they come by them. we know not, they have generals, coloneIs, majors and captains; titles are almost as, cheap and plenty as majors were once in Georgia. Where is . our old friend, Ginger Blue, you will please notify him that he is expected by the demo- cracy of this part of the State to defend his position. We hope he has not been one of the sleepy sentinels spoken of in one of your issues, and is all right and true to cor rect democratic principles. Mir. Key has used up the editor of the State Rights De- mocrat; he has caved in for the want of ar gument, and is first late at shuffling.

 NOT AN OLD LINER, BUT AN
 OLD FASHIONED DEMOCRAT.
