Democratic Meeting at Marion, Ark


 The democracy of Crittenden county met at the courthouse in the town of Marion on Monday, the 14th day of November, lSo9, pursuant to notice, and were called to order by Col. D. S. Wilson. On his motion Hon. H. B. Edmondson was called to the chair, and Henry B. Morgan appoint ed secretary.
 The meeting being organized, the chair man stated that motions and resolutions would be in order, whereupon NJ. A. Higgs presented the following:
 Resoloed, That the territories of the United States belong to the people of the several States of this UnioA as their com mon property; that the citizens of the sev- eral States have equal rights to migrate with their property of whatever nature to these territories, and are equally entitled to the protection of the federal government in the full enjoyment of their property so long as the territories remain in territorial con dltions and are under the charge of that government.
 ReSotUed, That under our system of go- vemment, il requires sovereign power to leglslate upon the subject of slavery. A territory Is not sovereign power-there- fore, cannot rightfully legsate upon the subject of slavery
 Resotoed, That in the main we indorse the administration of President Buchanan.
 Resolced, That the democratic party is the only national party in the Union, and the only party that will protect the interests of the south, defend the constitution, and maintain the Union, as established by the father of our country"
 ReSolced, That the Hon. T. c. Hind- man, who is now in attendance, be request ed to favor us with an address upon the political topics of the day.
 Which resolutions were seconded and unanimously adopted. The chair then in troduced him to the meeting.
 The Colonel delivered an able, arcumen- tatlve and forcible speech, in which he dis cussed the issues arising from the agitation of the slavery question, and fully demon strated the fallacy of squatter sovereignty, and also discussed, at considerable length, the local politics of this State; and having concluded his speech, the following resolu- tons were adopted:
 Resolped, That the thanks of this meet ing are rendered the Hon. T. c. Hndman for his instructive, eloquent and able ad- dress
 Resol0ed, That the Old Dine Democrat, True Democrat, Madison Pioneer, and Memphis Avalanche be requested to publish these proceedings.
 Resoloed, That this meeting adjourn till the second Monday in January next

From the Fort Smith Herald To the Post Master General, and to the Arkansas Delegation in Congress gener-


 Arkansas Delegation in Congress gener- ally.
 GENTLEMEN-As publishers of a paper Tn Western Arkansas, and for and on be- hail or the citizens of Arkansas generally, we beg leave to state to you, that we have only one mail week to Little Rock, ex- ceptlng the overland, which will not carry newspapers. That we have been in the nalot, tor some years, of having daily mai from and to Little Rock, and the whole country requires and demands one. That thls town, Fort Smith, now contains from 3OOO to 1000 inhabitants; that thousands oi persons get their mails by and through Fort Smith. That we can now get news from England as soon as from New Orleans oy vessel to New York, thence telegraph to ot. Lotus, thence overland mail, bringing us within four days of New York. That papers printed at Little Rock soon after the malIs leave, do not reach us in ten days.
 we understand contract to carry the malls has been let by the department, to run three times week. We heard so a month ago-and we also heard that it has aoout four days to make the trip Such malls will not suit us. The mail can be carried as we'll in two days, as in seven years.
 Nothing less than four horse daik line o1 coaches to Little Rock, will meet the de- mands of this country. The people of the South and West should not be treated thus because abolitionists would not vote ap propriations. We have been cut down now tor months, to one segenth of the service se- cured to us before last Congress- 7Hey, in our humble opinion, particularly when the Hon. Post Master General is from the South should suffer the want of mail faci- lties, at least to the extent the South does. Offers, reasonable ones too, were made to carry this mail, for we made some of them ourselves, and we have now our bids before us.
 We again ask, and all the people in this end oi the State, and the military stations west of us, ask that we may be brought on an equal footing with all the other west ern and southern States.

Sn'ithville, Ark, Nov. 10th, 1859.


 Messrs. JOHNSON & YERKEs-I noticed in the Old Line Democrat,ta paper published in Little Rock, Arkansas, in the issue of Nov. Sd, letter purporting to have been written at Evening Shade, Lawrence county. Ark, in which the writer states that he had attended at Col. Hindman's appoint ment and heard him defend himself against the abuse of the True Democrat, and in which the author fully indorses Hindman's course. And inasmuch as 1 was the only man that was present at such speaking from that neighborhood, some of my friends were disposed to believe that I was the author of said letter. hope you will do me the kindness, through the columns of your paper, to say to my friends that I disown the authorship of that letter alto gether, and if it was intended to be palmed upon me it is miserable forgery; for 1t is we'll known that have always been op- posed to Col. Hindman, and can look upon his present course in no other light than crusade against the democratic party.
 Yours respectfully,
 LEWIS WILLIAMS.

 Nor FOND OF FREEDoM.-About four months ago. seventeen negroes who had been slaves in Mississippi were brought to this Sate by their owner, for the purpose of emancipating them, which was accord ingly done. So far from enjoying the freedom with which they have been present.
 ed they have been ndiscontented'and anxious to return to Mississippi. They were inform ed that they would be allowed to live there in state of emancipation, but determ- inedly expressed their preference to live as slaves at home than be free here. The only one who has been able to raise sufficient means to return Is woman named Rebecca Bracy who' will go by the steamer to-day with her two children. She will probably be followed by the others as soon as they are able.-San Francisco Cal Herald.

EDITOR TRUE DEMOCRAT
 Deor .Str: As democratic voter T would ask a little space in yonr columns to call the attention of the voters of this district to the claims of Col E. w. GANTr, of Hempstead county, who l am informed is a candidate for Congress, in the place of the Hon. Albert Rust The convention could not make choice of better standard bearer. He is just the kind of man we need. Young and bouyant, full of hope and promise, and the most universally pop ular man 1 ever met He has been in the office of prosecuting attorney for five years, and is considered as being head and shoulders over any in the State-and not withstanding he was bitterly opposed by few who desired his downfall for their own preferment, he has been ndorsed again and again by the people, by maiorities that are unprecedented. A Tennesseean by birth, he has all the fire, ardor and enthusi- asm that seems to belong to the orators of
 hat State. If placed forward now, as I
 eel sure he will be, he will be an ornament to the State. A man of his powers. and his unflinching unwavering morality is bound to make his mark, and he has alrea- dy done it, for in ten counties in south west Arkansas he can get three-fourths of the votes against any man in the district. l regard his nomination and election as a certainty. Yours, VOTER.

He found the Indian affairs Ill most troubled condition-the troops disbanded, the various tribes in a hostile attitude to the citizens-had committed depredations upon their property and murdered several famies-the murderers unpunished, and no restitution of property. As soon as he put the government in oper- ation, without any troops, he proceeded to the scenos of depreciation, robbery and mur- ders, and by his superior address, tact, and judgment, he quelled all disturbances, had the murderers arrested and punished, and without war or blooshcd accomplished what both had failed to effect An incident oc- cured in Lane's talk' with the Roucue River Indians, warlike and predatory tribe, which Illustrates his remarkable self possession, coolness and judgment, in inn minent peril He entered their country with twelve or fifteen men; these Indians had fiercely rejected all attempts by the whites at concluding terms of war and peace. Gen. Lane chose the latter, with difficulty he succeeded in assembling four or five hundred warriors in council During his interview, one of his company recog. nized couple of horses stolen from him, in possession of the Indians, and two pistols then in the belts of the two chiefs. The Governor demanded restitution of the pro- pcrty, which restored, he said, would evince their willingness to treat and preserve peace. The head chief ordered restitution, but the possessors refused. The Governor then stepped forward and took one of the stolen pistols from the Indians belt and gave it to the owner, and was about to take the other pistol, when the Indian who had it presented his gun and raised the war whoop. Instantly four or five hundred guns were pointed at Gen. Lane and his small party.
