VI NIIU '-V' The True Democrat,

At no period since the organization oi the State have the democracy had somueh cause to be proud of its metropolitanrgan as at the present time 1t should o aus- tained by every deMocrat who regars the organization of our party as paramont to the aggrandizement of selfish men, especial ly here in Phillips and Monroe countie, as sailed from without by the black opposition and from within by factionists and disosani gers, it proudly bullets the storm and ades the waves against the combined element
 1t is no new thing, however, for the lrue Democrat to strangle disorganizers in teir incipiency; the truth is the democratic Enty has ever been 50 strong in this State tat small men of inrodinate ambition Wuld spring up and endeayor to control the deti- nies of the State through 1t, and when he great body of the party, through their faiil- iul organ of long standing refused obediene to the bchests of the wouldbe dictators, h. mediately the howl of family junto, aid even dsorganizing tendencies were belchel forth by the disappointed would-be's, anl echoed and re-echoed by the opposition If the day, by whatever name known, as a present.
 Yes. when the True Democrat refused s turn its back upon such talented and faitll ful standard bearers as the late Senators Sevier and Fulton, the gallant Yell, and the lamented Davis Thompson, we then had a Borland and Danley to assume the guar dianship of the democratic party, aye, they were toploftical superior kind of demo- crats State rights democrats, old line de- mocrats, par excellency, and nobody was considered trust worthy democrats who hesitated to condemn those noble men as the family, the junto, and lastly as disor ganizers. They were even bolder, they went so far as to establish an organ-a req State rights, old line organ as they termel 1t, viz: the Gazette and Democrat, in oppo. sition to the organ of our party, the Alkan- sas Banner, now True Democrat, and not only so but actually succeeded in electing their chief to the U. S Senate, while Col. Sevier at the call of his country resignedh his seat to go to Mexico, as the representative of his whole country. But what was ,he result of their success? How long did tley continue to act in accordance with thd1 former professions of State rights democ- racv? The country knows, the democracy knows to their sorrow, for they were repaid with treason, and a relentless war upon the best democrats that ever honored the State in its service, carrying off with them all the ignorant and deluded victims over whom they had gained complete control. All be- cause the true democracy refused to con tinue them in power and be governed by them.
 Now find similar programme propos. ed, because the True Democrat refused to make war upon Senators Johnson and Se- bastian, Gov. Conway and the democratic party generally. l see an effort being made to establish another Gazette and Democrat or Old Line Democrat as the case may be. A very good arrangement, we think it will take two organs for them at Little Rock But would it not be economical in them to buy the old Gazette, subscription and all, if the name does not suit, they could easi- ly change the type so as to read Old Line in its stead, the result would be about the same as under the former dynasty.
 Therefore, Mr. Editor, am fully per suaded that the true democracy with their honored organ at their head will continue to. triumph, as in by-gone days, continue to make and unmake men as their merifa
