THE SIXTH VOLUME OF THE
 DIES ARC CITIZEN.

We to-day presen, the first number o the sixth volume of the CITIZEN We de not complain that our hbors increase with our years. Why should i. not be soa- Those who attempt to live for themselves alone, regardless of the happiness ol welfare of the great mass amongst whom their lot may be cast in life, have but a poor appreciation of that which constitute: the true friend, neighbor or citizen Ev. cry man has separa,e par, to perform in the great drama of life--if that part b. we'll performed he will have the conscious. ness within his own breas, of having com. pleted his allotted. task. and receive the mede of praise from all good men, and the smiles and appreciation of his Maker II. on the contrary, he fails in his duty ,c himself and his fellow.man, he knows full well that justice demands that the mede of praise will be withheld both by his country and his God.
 We have endeavored during the five years existence of the CITIZEN, to do even and exact justice to all men. W,ha re. spectable number of our feIlow-cilizens it has been our lot to disagree iu matters per- taining to our town. and especially the location of certain projected schemes of Internal Improvement. We have. thus far. seen no good reason to regre, the DO. sitions we lave taken, and shall continue to pursue ",h~ even tenor of our way regardless of dic.a,ion, menace, or the ravings and abuse of the low and vicious. Nevertheless. we will at all times be found ready to receive any suggestions which may tend 10 further the interests of the country at large, the State, the county, or our own particular town.
 We shall continue fearIessly to support those measures, politically, which we deemabenedclal to the country. and askin return that consideration and support which our efforts may merit.
 As stated last week. We are anxious to enlarge our paper. To enable us to do 70. we will require every dollar that our patrons owe US. Will our friends exert themselves in our behaf--pay what they owe us, and encourge others to aid us with their patronage

From the Old Line Democrat. Hon T C. Hindman's Prospects in Washington, Benton and Madison Counties, by capable and impartial

EpIroR OF THE OLp-LrNE DEMO- cRAr-SIR: - have been in each of the above named counties, about, and since the time of Col. Hlndman's visit there, and have heard many persons ex- press ther sentiments relarve to hs ability and future success, and so tar as am able to judge, if an election should come on any time soon, the vote would be four for Col Hlndman, to one for any other person whose name has been men. toned as a probable candidate against hun. As poll'ica speaker, he Is held to be superior 10 any person known in the northwest of Arkansas, for years. have not had the pleasure of hearing Col Hindman speak, but l am sure that he possesses one qualification superior tc most public speakers; that of presenting his points so clearly, that people can easi- ly comprehend and retain them. have heard qulte number of persons relate points In his speeches, wlth surprising agreement. The general voice oi the people is, that Col. Hindlnan is persecu led man, and for no other cssue save that he is likely to be in the way of some who would, if they could, be in high places those who arrogantly claim to be the De- mocracy, and consequently, brand all as dlsorganlzers who oppose them. Their version ol Democracy taking their words and actions as the rule of interpretation is, ihat whatever they say or do. as. poll sie4ans. is, and mast De right; whatever Col. Hindman says or does, as politician is and mast De wroag.
 The people say give us Hindman, he is ihe mau that can successfully presen our claims. and do honor to our Stale." OBSERVER.

kE3s% Let the people beware of the Douglas doctrine of squauer sovereignty. Ii is the most recent offspring of aboll- tionism. and, like its progeni,or, it hesi- tates not to assall the highest judicial tri- hunals in the land, sequivocate with the constitution, assail the rights of property, and destroy good neighhorhood between man and man. IL would place in the hands of the few the power to expel from the Territories of the Union the men of the South. It had its origin in violent crusade agains, the rights and property of the Southern people. It can only pro- gress by the dethronement of the law, the destruction of the constitution and the overthrow of everything like order.- l, is ruinous, dangerous. shocking doc trine abhorred no less for its incendiary tendencies than for its disposition to pro- yoke riot and insurreclion in community yet uniformed and wi,hou. the power of resistance.
 "Old Browns" rebellion is schargeable, in part, to the unchecked aggressons of "squa,ter sovereignty" and it is time that the honorable men of all parties were taking suitable steps to trample under their feet this unconstitutional theory, along with its traitorous advocates. IL Is repugnan, to the sense of every patriot, every lover of order, every philanthropist. It thrives best wherever disorder and licentiousness prevail, and lives only in the minds of those who are not willing to render unto Cesar the things that are C@sar's Vicksburg Southern Sun.

 BroU,.sviiie Echo takes to heart our com. rnent upon paragraph published In Iha paper abusive of the democrrlc party. Il disclaims neutrality and assumes for ltsel the character of an indepeadenf journal
 We care not what title the Echo assumes for itself--ii may chatter and fume, mis- represent and islander us, and keep up il: course of selecting articles and publishing them abusive of the democratic party and ,be great mass of the people-call itself mdependenf, neutral, or any other name whereby 10 cover its hatred of democratic principles and yet the truth of all we have said is fnai,ifes, in it's own columns It quotes the billngsga,e of well-known opponents 10 democracy, men who "pray to be struck with paralysis, blindness dumbness, deafness, lunacy, the leprosy or anything, in preference to democracy and yet We must not complain that an officer who was elected by tie vote of the democracy of the county aids in the sup port of that concern with the patronage at his command. True, public officer has the rignt to b-stow his patronage where to him seems best. But the great mass of the people have right, and they will ex- ercIse that right, in holding hun responsi- ble for hs condae, in that particular. The democracy of Prairie county have permit. ted the control of most of the public offices 10 fall into the hands of those who are opposed to, and use theIr influence against them, and il is full time that they should arouse from their lelhargy, and take this matter into their own hands.
 The charge made against us by the Echo that we forsook the denTratic party and warred against il "under the banner of Know Nottingham" is upon par with it's usual course in reference to us. We never voted other than democratic ticket---we never published line against, or in any manner used our influence in opposition to the democratic party. Like many others, we took one degree in Know Nothinglsm, were satisfied that the Order was in opposition to democratic principles and never had any other affinity with it.
 We are told in the good book that men do not gather grapes of ,horns or figs of thistles, and il IS true in political as in religious point of view. Those who are against the democratic party are not for it--and those papers that publish articles abusing it's principles by l" cant phrases and uncou,h comparisons have no right to claim the privilege of so doing on &C., count of thelr being neutral or even inde- pendent Let the Echo take to itself the advice 1t gives to us, and it will see enough in its own columns to satisfy itself that it is preaching one thing and practs- ing another.
