FRIEND DUNHAM -
We presume you feel interested to know
how we flourish politically in your native
place at least you will be gratified to learn
how, at this moment, your old Democratic
friends are occupied, This being the execu-
tion day Of John Brown, at II o'clock some
of cur Republican leaders in their deep af-
Fiction caused the bells of two or three of
our churches to be tolled. This aroused
the Democrats who thought they had more
cause for rejoicing than their republican
friends had for lamenting, brought out a
twenty-four T ounder, and, ere this, are fir
ing nation al salute but not for JOY that
John Brown this day looses his life, but it
is that tie traitorous designs of the leading
aboli6onists of the north have been frustrat-
ed. The fate of Brown, we hope. will
pr owe o salutory lesson and stay the bloody
hand of political fanaticism.
Our political friends of the South may
rely ON the soundness of the Democratic
party of Connecticut. They are for the
Union, and " the constitution as it is, !" and
if the time should arrive when it shall be
necessary for them to offer up their lives on
the altar of freedom, for the integrity of
the Union, willing subjects enough will be
found in our ranks to make the sacrifice.
In the =" irrepressible conflict which has
had its prologue at Harper's Ferry as far
as acts are concerned the democracy will be
found sound to the core.
In the Presidential conflict, if the South
will be true to herself, and present candi-
date with the true JeifersoIlian qualihca-
tions, and she is not wanting In such, the
Democracy of Connecticut we think, will
give a better account of themselves than
for the past several years. We expect to
vote for a southern candidate 1t Is due to
her, though we discard all sectional views
and no true democrat will be governed by
local feelings OF sectional views in deciding
for what candidate they shall cast their
suffrage You have named in your sheet
one Of the purest patriots the country can
furnish lie is eminently qualified for the
high station and would fill the Office OF Ex-
ecutive of this Union in manner which
would command respect both at home and
abroad. Isaac Toucey is a national demo-
crat, talented and incorruptible. and wor-
thy of the office still we believe 1t be-
longs TO the South to furnish the candi-
date ; the democracy expect it, and IN con-
vention by their delegates will favor it.
Yours PUTNAM.

The Mails.

The Leon brought up the Mail yesterday
from Little Rock. We understand she will
continue to bring it for an indefinite time,
once a week. We are glad to perceive the
papers taking notice of the manner in which
we are treated in relation to our mail facili-
ties. The TIRE Democrat says in relation
to the new triweekly contract which was to
have commenced in October last, but which
has not commenced yet, and probably never
will as long as the men who are now car
rying it at s175 90 per trip can get it
transported at $40 90 per trip on Boats
'' We understand they are to start it soen
and they expect to carry the mail in one
horse bragies, and take four days and eigh-
teen hours to accomplish trip This con
tract is gross outrage upon the State
Nothing less than four horse post coach
service. performed in forty eight hours,
three times week. if not daily, will meet
the demands of the people
Every body will agree with the Democrat
that it is gross outrage. We think SER
vice on the route had better be discontipu-
ed, and left to private enterprise.

| advise L. B. to keep silent upon that point,
for ir a controversy between gentlemen he is

But if 1t is an evidence of breeding to

fend him by resorting to mode of warfare

The Professor in Love.

NlR. EDIroR 1t is often reg retted by BIZ
ographers that they are unable to learn but
little of the lives of great men.
Heroes and men of genius pass away.
We read of their feats of arms, of their
words of burning pathos,'' but know but
little Of the domestic virtues or vices of
their every day life. What in the life of
Napoleon half SO touching or really inter-
esting as his tender messages to the noble
Josephine? And who does not turn from
the bloody record of the field of Marenro
to their perusal with feeling of relief and
better appreciation of the man. NOTHING

more interest to the general reader than his
lovefor the bewitching Mrs. Gusts. We
forget the great General in the lover hus

with brotherly affection.
These considerations have induced me to

PINE BLUFF, Nov. 2S, 1859.
WN. F. DoUGLAs,
Editor of the Independent,
Dear Sir:-During my absence at Little
Rock, many letters have accumulated for
me. They make it clear, that | can not
with propriety leave the State without a
1urther pubic declaration of my intention
declared in public speech in this town
IN July, 1888, that it was my fixed deter
mination to retire from the public service,
and that my name would uot again be used
for ie.election to the Senate or any other
office. This fact was noticed at the time
by the public press.
The writers of these letters are my friends.
They urge me to declare myself a candidate
'for re election to the e. S. Senate, or for
ehe +Governo:ship, ardthey do Sc chiefly on
account of Col. Hindman's turbulent and
distracting course. 1 can not, with all nv
devotion to the Iwill, and my Difference to
the opinions of my friends, give my con-
sent to further use of my name for either
Office.
Col Hindman's attempted disruption Of
the democratic party is all selfish, and in
less than twelve months will be of small
moment He Is reported to have assailed
my political acts very bitterly, but without
personal insult. This do not object to.
but he has in every ether way sought to be
offensive and particularly by frequent and
general denunciation ef the family of Jelf-
sons, and to add to his effensiveness, he
pledged himself in his public speeches, to
visit Little Rock and denomce them to their
faces The 24th inst, was the day set
apart Tor this purpose, and was public to all
travelled fifty miles to attend this appoint
ment, and to afford him the opportunity.
He failed to attend and redeem his pledge.
His excuse was false in spirit, and paltry
In fact; and the whole affair, pronounce
to be another of his ingenious devices to
win for himself name for courage and to
ding on others an imputation cf cowardice
His conduct in the few years he has been
here, is to my mind that of bully, and
an impostor in the ranks of honor.
His position as a member of Congress
secures for him my notice. -
In again announcing to my fellow citi-
zens my wish to retire to private life, beg
to express my deep sense of gratitude for
the many high honors they have conferred
upon me, and for the unchanging confidence
they have shown me for SO many years
am, very respectfully.

Proposed Railroad convention.

At recent meeting Of the Board Of -Di-
rectors of the L. r. & F. S. r. r.. in this
City, plan for general Convention OF
all the Railroad men in the State, was pre-
sented and received their appreciation. 1t
has been proposed that the different Roads
now in progress, or even projected. send
one or more delegates to meet in Conven-
ton at Little Rock, on the 10th of Janua-
~ next, and also that a general invitation
be extended TO the leading public men and
private citizens throughout the State, who
feel an interest in the welfare and progress
Of our Railroads. Every County should
be represented, and we hope our brethren
of the press will aid in bringing the project
before the people.
The objects of the convention will be to
give the subject of our Railroads, their
merits and claims, a thorough consideration,
and to pass resolutions calculated to give
these interests more general character, and
to affect the popular mind in the coming
elections. A friendly interchange of senti-
ment and of practical ideas and infor ma
tion would be obtained. and uniform plan
of action to secure Railroad Governor,
State Officers, and Legislature. settled up
on and carried out all over the State. Such
a meeting. and concert of action on the
part of the friends of our Railroads, would
exert powerful influence in determining
the political complexion of the next legis-
lature and State administration. The time
has evidently come when we must either
adopt the railroad policy of nearly every
other State in the Union, and extend the
powerful aid of the State in behalf of the
several Roads now in course of construction
or we must take our place at the foot of the
list
Our exchanges will do well to call the
attention of their readers to the proposed
Convention on the 10th prox, and urge the
great Importance of its objects and labors
on the people. We are pleased to observe in
in our exchanges, an increasing interest in
the Railroad interests of the State, and we
think the politicsl signs augur good to
them.
