The Old Line Democrat.

In view of the establishment of paper, awowedlv and confeSsedlv established to create discord and division in the ranks of the democratic party, the getters up of the disorganizing concern have thought it proper to oapologize and explain their cour.e in a long article in the State Rights Demo- crat. They felt that the people would de- mand their reasons therefor When req sons were plenty as blackberries it was to be supposed that they could give those having some degree of pausibility. Alas! the getter up of that concern always fails at a pinch. When all is ready for grand demonstration. he fzzles, Invariably, he tantalizes us by leading us to expect to see an elephant at least, and shows us only little mouse. Decidedly, he can promise more and perform less; make greater blow and less show than any political charlatan It was ever our good fortune to see exhibit.
 Would the sensible reader believe that the principal reason, in fact the only one on which they lay stress or seem to rely, IS that the junior editor here was once a whig, and oh horror of horrors! once know nothing? No matter, if for five years he has stood upon the democratic platform,

Rich, Racy and lev Cold.

In this warm weather the getter mp of a piece of cool impudence deserves the thanks of the community. We find refrigerator Tn the columns of the State Rights Demo- crat. Of all unblushing pieces of hardi- hood it is the most shamefaced. Of speci- mems of cool impotence it is the coldest. There is an acme reached in the paragraph we copy, an amount of compressed brass, of frigidity, that has no parallel. It is abso- lutely sublime. It never has been, it never can be equalled. Says the State Rights Democrat, speaking of this paper:
 " It may be called the True Democrat but it IS, to all ntents and purposes, disorganizing sheet, supported by, and giving aid and comfort to the opposition, by endeavorng to create a schism in the ranks of the democratic party. In that trea sonable attempt it will egregiously fail Mark the prediction"
 When we remember this is from the or gan ot the bolters, of desperate politician who IS attempting to divide the party, abus- ing every prominent man in it, seeking and forming alliances and partnership with the opposition to establish a central disorga- nizing sheet; when we reflect that all this proceeds from little, waspish politician, who failed in his effort to control the legis lamre, it is about as cool as impudence eve- gets to be. We have but one hat, yet the writer can take thati \Na ora toLor oa at the knees-utterlv confounded.

News from the War.

The important announcement has been made that the contending powers have agreed upon an armistice until the 18th of August. So there will be no fighting for the space of five weeks
 The effect of this news was to create great excitement on change, and cotton ad- vanced in price. Great hopes were enter tained that peace would follow the armis- tice, and the neutral powers had laid their proposals before the combatants.
 Oscar, King of Sweden, is dead.
 Persia is making great preparations, in anticipation of war with Turkey.
 The jealous feeling of England towards France seems to grow every day. A lead- ing London journal some time ago stated that Louis Napoleon intended making descent upon Ireland
 John Mitchell, in late number of the Citizen, said that France would invade Ireland within five years and probably within year. The British colonial pa- pers pretend to be alarmed at the presence of French ships in proximity to their shores. That this feeling is shared by the English government is evidenced by the fact that 1t has demanded an additional force of 10000 men for the navy.

A CHANGE OF TACnCs The State Rights Democrat, finding it has been sail ing on the wrong tack, has put about and Is trying another course. Last winter it seemed to be striving to exhaust the vocab- ulary of slang and blackguardism. Then, "hirelins," 'chattel," deaf and dumb drunken scribbier," abolitionist,'' {. in- fdel,' with threats of cowhides, pistols and bowie knives formed the staple of it's articles. Having cursed itself in a state of exhaustion 1t now, like bawd affecting virtue, pretends to be awfully shocked be. cause we called the very latest" editor < all sorts of fellow" It takes on dread fully, foulishes ever so many phrases and asks if the devil would have done so. Of course everybody sees through this putting on airs and we only wish for the sake of
 the decency and good name of the Arkan sas press that it was true step towards reform.
 Last winter, when we gave our views upon the legislative caucus. that paper quoted our remark that know nothings should not have been admitted in body purely democratic, and cited it as proof Now the very same paper says that we did not say SO. In fact, it charges first one thing, then its very opposite, with reck- lessness and disregard of consistency that we never saw eqnalled. Hereafter, we may give some instances of its self-contradlc- tions.

ES- It is great misfortune to be mis- understood. We took occasion last week to notice one or two articles in the Gazette. in spirit of frankness and, as far as the facts of the case would permit, to give our neighbor credit for certain qualities he claimed to possess. We said then that it was unnecessary for the Gazette to deny any connection with the new paper about to be started here, as they would occupy the position of rivals The success of one involves the failure of the other. The Ga zette of Saturday last says that we continue to attempt to identify the two concerns.- This Is a mistake We regard it as a strug- gle for existence between the two, to be com promised hereafter, perhaps, by fusion.- To our surprise the Gazette turns to abus- ing us roundly. We imagined we were doing the thing up brown and making polite bow, when it appears we trod upon the editors gouty foot. And he growls- l Lord how he growls. A bear with sore head-an enraged cat-a caged rat-theSe give but faint ideas of his terrible passion.
 This burst of temper is in the usual style of that paper and is copy of some of its former phillipics, with the exception of new and original phrase. He says our pa per is affected "with the mango of mean
 ness and the leprosy of lying" This is
 new phrase-a figure borrowed alike from medical works and his own experience. It is original, peculiar, and could only have originated where it did. Let no man at- tempt to rob its author of the credit so iust-
 y due the originator of a new simihe.- The figures that follow of buzzards, carion, etc., are old and favorite ones of his, and are strong only because they are stale. As to responsibility, responsibility. decency and truth, what the Gazette says would be very severe if said by one who had an idea of those valuable qualities. When we shall have tutored the Gazette into some know ledge of those essentials his opinions there on will be entitled to some respect He should avoid mentioning subjects of which he is utterly ignorant.
 The reason for this ebullition of i'll tenn per on the part of the Gazette may be easily given. The editor had new idea-an original similie, and lost no time in expos ing it to the atmosphere. He is a candidate for the profassorshp of belle lettres and polite literature, in the new college and is cultivating a style. Finally, if no other reason can be found for his becoming so rabid we must remember these are the dog-davs
