Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-10-05
wh,t the Arkanaas Papers Say.

What tho A.rkanaas Papers Bay. We have been and gone and done it again. The Des Arc Citizen fumes, frets and fairly boils over at a remark of ours. His article nuts us in mind of the actions of an enraged cat-it is made up of moving and splitting It was godsend to the editor as 1t gave him a chance to tell what great things he has done for the democratic party and the State. And he is so independent, so very independent, so stifly independent that he leans backward. We always believed ne was great man. Now we know 1t. We are sorry to say this champion of democracy and of agriculture cannot command hls tenn per- In fact he avails himself of the op- portunity to do up little blackguardism' We are told there never was any intrinsic | political worth in our carcass, we are sore upon the body polite, and that we have committed treason. All this time he IS very independent,-he is. And he IS | democrat, and such democrat-strongly, | intensely, boiled or stewed down demo- crat. The truth is that this same man could have been had to abuse Hindman, as he now abuses us, but we concluded long who or what he was for or against. We have suffered from his personal misrepre- sentations for year past, but let him run. He is too small to hurt just now, if at any time, and to stir him up a little more in addition to our remark, that he cannot commit treason, we will add that he can insult nobody, for
 "A decent man will not insult me,
 And no other can."
 The Fort Smith Times notices the close of the first year of the overland mail ser vice. The route is 2,600 miles long, The Times insists that the proper plan for the Cherokees is to form territories with view to their ultimate admission as States.
 The BatesvilIe Sentinel reviews the
 
 speech made by Hindman at that place and exposes the subterfuges and sophistry used by the spread eagle orator. We gather that Hindman attempted to excuse his of 6cious conduct in the legislative caucus that nominated Senator, by saying that he had right to do so, and it was his duty. But he forgot his duty on the first day of the session when a caucus was held to nominate officers The name men were ad, mitted then, and the same principle was involved. All this stuff about defending democratic principles is the veriest gam mon ever uttered His acts were in oppo- sition to the fundamental democratic prici- pie, that maiorities shall rule. He wars upon the caucus because it refused to obey him. Had it done so, he would be now, defending it.
 The South Arkansas Democrat detects or thinks it has, errors in Mir. Garand's letter as published by us, and tries to be sarcastic thereon. As to MT. Gray's letter it was printed as written, and he wrote to us that that was exactly what he wanted. Mr. Garand's letter was. carefully read and | by copy. It was evidently hasti- y written, and might have been amended, put we had no authority to do so, and bY | 70 doing would have laid ourselves liablS o charge of altering or changing the com nunication. So much for the sheer of the south Arkansas Democrat, which says 1t las taken the liberty to make corrections n the letter. From what we have seen of he two as writers we rather think Mir. Gar and would better fill the office of corrector. The Eldorado Times gives LIS an account of cotton picking which we turn over to the | Jefferson Independent, who is au Jaa in matters of cotton. Coop PIcKING.-Hon Nathan Bussy, near this place. furnishes us with the result of one days cot ton n-picking of six hands-as follows:
