Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-06-29
Hempste0d, Ark.. June I5th le5n

Such great length, having appeared in any paper containing so many falsities, absur- ditles and downright syllogisms
 hope that my friend Justice, will pardon me for thus noticing his article "nloh shall do assuccinctly as the nature ol the case will admit, though I differ with nm m opinion touching various points eanVassed by him in that argumcnt, if it De allowed so distinguished a name.
 ne embodiment of his first position is venom on the editors of the True Demo- crat. an eulogy to or of Messrs. E. A. War ien and T. C. Hindman. He points to the period when a bitter political strife per yaded the hustings of our party. When the venom "SAM'' was seeking every op- porunlty to emit and infuse those noxious principles into the minds of the democratic party. When that party, flushed with re- cent success, bid fair to turn the scale of political preponderance in its favor. Then It was that wise men trembled; then it was that democracy wanted men of iron nerves, to stand at the head of affairs: then it was that the galIants WARREN and Hindman were called from their homes by the demo- cracy, like the sage of Ashland in 1849, when this country was shaking from it's center to It's circumference by political conVulsion, which threatened the perpetuity ot this Union. Clay was summoned from hlS retreat to assume again his seat in the Senate, hoping as did his friends, that by an exercise of those high capacities with which he was endowed, that he might sue ceed in adjusting those great disputes and restoring harmony to the country. So, when the American party cane fasded vith recent success,ss'" Justice" would have us believed that Warren and Hindman ap- peared at the summons of the populace to rescue the tumJling democracy from in evitable destruction.
 Now l am willing to give those two pseudo distinqaj of all (and even more, ) the honor due them. l am the last man that would endeavor to pluck from the wreath the first dazzling flower But let us examine for moment the reasons, the moving cause of their action Was it alone the interest of the democracy of the State at large, orwas it ambition that acted as a propelling engine? We contend that 1t was the latter, and why? Col Warren had been in Congress and in the conyen- ton, for the purpose of nominating can didate, prior to the appearance of the Ame- riran party in our midst. and was defeated by Col. Rust. Then Hoyen saw an op- portunity to work himself again into the favor of the democratic party, and like an ambitious aspirant at the period of inter- regnum, he seizes the opportunity, Ga fit time 1t was, ] he canvassed his district and was received every where with great ap- plause. The democracy egea more than appreciated him! Did he canvass the State? No sir! No man ever heard his voice beyond the confines of his own dis trict. Col. Hindman played his hand in the same manner, and as far as I am aware. was never seen beyond the perview of his own arena. We admit that they were quite industrious in their own political tours. Although industry is quite com mendable, we do not believe that men should be so severely stigmatized for with dLswing their aid from the tenants oi ff, when they use it for the benefit of them selves and even to the detriment of all others. Warren anu Eindman have both lost the confidence of the people, and whose fault is it? " Justice, in the magnanimitv of his wisdom, says that 1t is the editors of the True Democrat. \ grave claim it is, that a whim or single fault or the fault of one individual can subvert.
 He maintains that during the warm con- test above alluded to, no paper in the State spoke more iavorably of their talent and statesmanship than did the True Demo- crat, but that as soon as victory crowned their efforts. they turned around and kicked them both overheard. What is the mo- tive of '' Justice" in thus falling m,iouslv upon the editors of the T. D. How does he attack the editors, by sound and cogent argument? No, but adopts the familiar 1 style of the mountebank and as.ails with ridicule points he cannot level by argument. He pours the bitterest vituperations upon the head of the editor of the T. D. He does not only use sarcastic language. but stoops (if stoop does better than ascend, which 1 doubt, to things too low and groveling to be replied to- What does he mean by this. To use the editors of in constancy for withdrawing ther support from tIindman and Warren. He seems to possess the tenet '' once in the faith always in." He believes in the glory of final per severance. In political point he would have been fit subject for the l,ws of the Medes and Persians. We all believed with the editor of the T. D. that Warren de- served the position hereceived t the hands of the democracy at the time. But lid F. |. Earren maintain himself ol fulfill the not more than buoyant hopes d the demo- cracv, we think, we k,og not. And mak | ing short of a long story, we believe that four-ffths of the democracy are opposed to i Hindman, and wnnld prefer any honest sen Sf1te man to Warren in any station of honor. We said above that Col Warren. when in Congress, did not sustain himself did not carry out the most common sense nrinc;- pies of his party. To substantiate tbis refer to his speech, par excellence. delivered in Congress, 12th of January 1S5S in which he sealed his destiny and in which he betrayed symptoms of most efemioote eharacter.
