 Dear Sir-It becomes my p duty to inform you that you have SO evous political sins to answer for, befor know nothing or opposition party d fcome reconciled to your course and your paper to Mr. Hindman's "Old Demo- crat"(?)
 Of what your sins are comp l do not speak, will assure you, fro rmise, but from what I have heard tb4nt pro- minent members-yea, leaders, of know nothing or opposition party, say eelves. From what they say, all of yodS as are embodied and comprised in this2w one: The True Democrat has proveE Elf un- worthy to be the organ of the cratic party of this State, because of6prting from the principles and usagd said party" (Strange reason for a { Y that hates-yea, prefers-as its name oppo- sition," implies everything else femo- cracy, is it not? # l will thrice assure you, and falled upon for the proof, will cheerful ] req dily give it, that the oppositionNty in this portion of the State, are p over "body and soul'' with but few herable eXceptions-to~the side of Mir. Rlman and his Old Line Democrat. Now as this opposition party Is de mocracy so much, and loves its O 1pte so well; and the Old Line Democratic be a better democratic paper than True Democrat; is it not strange Issing strange" nay, wonderful, marveloa that said opposition party should prefefe Old Line, to the True Democrat? M
 repeat with emphasis, is it nd Kange --" totolly, Thoroughly and tremsHsly" strange, that it should prefer vii t and bitter, to an indifferent, or merely yh1inal enemy?
 But the truth is, the Old Line focrat like that of the Gazette, or ratl5guon- dam Gazette & Democrat will kemo- cratic only in name-sustained foff pur- pose of disorganizing and distracE the democratic party, by the know notbgs or oppositionists, assisted by the die,tfted writhing and disappointed ospirontw offce an the democratic ranks.
 You are a true democrat-von lm, eve, advocated in your paper, the pure|sl in vulnerable principles of democracv. Sucl IS the unanimous opinion of true d Dcrat. Tn this region, who are now as thH have always been, true as steel" in dace O the great principles they advocate i thei purity-opposed to all demagogue anC their demagoguery-fa anothei factionism. They not only approve f, bu highly applaud the wise and far-seeig DO Hey, which his Excellency, Elias Neon way, has pursued, since first he was ectec Governor. Another Conway (or athe such Governor as he has made iswha they earnestly desire.
 The democracy in all this country ount about commend and applaud the G oprno for his ito use the elegant languageE( tn Old Line Democrat) pocketing the lll t reduce the State taxes. They knon tha the Governors policy is wise one. ths will enable the State to pay its 1one debts, and thus disenthrall itself fropl a onerous burden. Col. Hindman willsbu, the Governor Tn vain, in regard to this, f the people know full we'll that it is to h and his fatherin-law's (Col. Biscoe's) i terest, to deplete the State treasury.
 In conclusion of these hurried lines, will say that my old friend Captain Chr topher Columbus Danley. had better beg to look to his laurels, lest Col. T. c. Hin man tear them from his brow. The knc nothing party, whose mouth-piece he w and is, has proven failure The memb, who composed it, are at best but hum; They have life in them-they have ener they have hope-they have all been wh ped, but not conquered They scorn stay whipped. It is their most heart-f desire to finally triumph. If they cam conquer under one name, they will attem to do so under another. They would rath be resurrected " Old Line Democrats" tn, remain eternally buried know nothings.
 If their flag has been made to trail in Il dust in the hands of Captain Danley, the may tear it from his grasp-vigorou though it be-and place it in the hands ( T. c. Hindman Verify the Gazette shoul watch the Old Line Democrat with a iea ous eye.
 The South Arkansas Democrat will n( make you many enemies, by opposing yo and favoring Hindman-because, forsootl the democracy hereabouts, adhere to pri1 ciples, and not men.
 Yours as ever,
 TRUE BLUE.
