Mir. CARROLL took the position, that the members of the Legislature who took Per-diem pay for the recess last year, swindled the State. He said they neither had the legal nor the moral right 10 take pay for services never rendered and that they ought to be putto death for doing so Bu, he said il was all right for Boz JouN- SON and Judge SEBASTIAN to take the very same kind of payl Ye Godsl listen at his excuse for il. He says it was cus- tomary for Congress to take pay for recess custom, then, made it morally right custom, then makes it right to steal, as he says! Wha, pitiful argument for an in- telligent man to make. Shame upon him who would attempt 10 screen the guilty from just condemnation--and this man is the True Deaaocrafs candidate for Con- gress.
 In entering upon the political arena, MT. CARROLL attempted to swallow the whole Johnson faction, but the dose proved too nauseating for his stomach, which yet had some relish of decency in it, and he was compelled to spew up portion of the dose, and 1 think he will get sick of the broken dose before he gets through this canvass.
 MT. CARROLL is an enthusiastic, and to some extent, an eloquent speaker, and would make pretty fair speech Tn good cause, but he has got the " wrong SOW by the ear,n when he endeavors to yindicate the reasonable and disgraceful acts of the Johnson faction before the people of Ar kansas. They know the Johnson's too well--they are tired of the domination of this corrupt family. You are advocating an untenable position, MT. c.
 When MT. CARROLL concluded his speech, Col. HINpMAN arose and reioined in speech of an hours length. He knocked the last prop from under MT. CARRoLL's feet, and left him without a foot-hold. He showed in brief but con- elusive manner, the fallacy of MT. CAR RoLL's position--he portrayed with warmth the trials that the Democratic party had gone through in 1855 and 1856. in the battle with Know-N Nothingism--how he raised his voice against that foe, and ex- horted the people to rise in their might and crush it in it's in(ancy--that he had ever battled against that enemy with unabated energy, down to the present time--and lastly, when the sanctity of the democratic party was invaded by permitting know nothings and disorganizers to come into democratic caucus--that he cried out against the intruders, and that he had been abused for doing so. x

BLACK RrpuDLIcAN SYMPATHY FOR Mn. ErnEREDer OF TESN.-The Louis. vile Journal and other opposition journals a, the South, seem to think that we are wonderfully out of the way in stating that MT. E.heridge, of Tennessee, gets the sympathy of the Black Republicans of the North. The Courier and Enquirer of this city, the only out-and-out Seward paper here, says it "glad that H. Winter Davis is re-nominaied for Congress, and that such men as Messrs. Gilmer, of N. c. and Etberidge, of Tenn. are reelected" and, it adds, ''ihe Republican party can. not give them it's regular clasp of fellow- ship; yet they always will possess it: $; sincere respect and hearty sympathy How could these men have "the sincere respect and hearty sympathy" of the Abo- litionists, if they were not assisting shelr cause. Depend upon 1t, southern men deceive themselves when they give such "ad and comfort" to their enemies as the election of such men furnish- New York Day. Book.

FREMONT IN LucK.-The New York Herald says: A letter from one of our cor respondents at San Francisco, received by the Star of the West, furnishes the follow ing interesting information: You will be pleased to learn that silver ore of the most extraordinary richness, has recently been found on the Mariposa Grant. 1 have obtained specimen from the men who discovered it. tis nearly all pure silver, being but slightly mixed with copper. We learn from another source that this silver ore alluded to, contains ninety per cent. of silver, and was found forty feet below the surface. The mine is on Col. Fremonts tract. This gentleman will have in sixty days on Merced river seventy-two swamps at work, with plenty of permanent water power, and capacity to work one hundred tons of ore day, worth from twenty to thirty dollars per ton."

Howell Cobb, has revi- sed the estimates ofthe customs received oI United States for the year 1860. He finds that the revenue from the custom houses for that year will be $62, 100000, instead of $5S, 100000 as put down at the previous estimates, making difference of$4 ,400,- 900. With this sum, and other resources at his command, the Secretary thinks he will be able to purchase in of the public debt to the extent of.$7 ,750 900.

DIES ARC, ARKANSAS: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2s, 1859.

Ma. DOUGLAS ON TouR.-Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, as we learn from oal exchanges, is busily engaged in "a labor of love" for his own political success. Il seems 10 have become the chief desire oI his mind to be somebody's candidate for the Presidency. His latest political phase looks exclusively to the North for "aid and comfort" The Washington Sfar says that ",he political labor of his Doug lasfs) present tour is to fix his doctrine of squatter sovereignty more firmly in the hearts of the people in States wherein the Opposition are in the ascendency. Yet alarmed at the reception ut the South ol his las. bid for abolition sympathy, Ire is again approaching that section of the Con. federacy with honeyed phrases, in none of which, however, does he take back his declaration of adherence to the doctrine that the squatters in Territories may law fully deprive the citizens of Southern States of coequal rights in the common property of oll the sovereigns of the Amer ican Union. On the contrary, he classes those who maintain that squat,ers have no such power under the law and Constitu- sion-the whole South-in a category with those at the North who claim the right of Congress to interfere against the existence of slavery in the Territories which he now holds 10 be the right only of squatters; maintaining, also, that the courts of the United States may not raise fin- ger by way of interfering with the opera sion of any 'unfriendly legislation" with reference to the coequal rights of the South, to which the squatters may resort in the prosecution of the purposes of the Emi- grant Aid Societies sending them out. Such is the platform MT. Stephen Arnold Douglas has erected for himself. In mounting 1t. he has deliberately bartered the votes of every slaveholding State for the votes of such at the North as may fancy his phase of abolitionism more than the less insidious phase of it involved in the platform of Senator Seward"

q SEARCH THE RECORDS. D

The Washington Constitution is venti- lating the record of Judge Douglas, and making most triumphant expose of his inconsistencies. As evidence of the Con- stitution's success we give the following. In his speech at Cincinnati MT. Douglas said:
 Examine bills and search the records, and you will find that the great principle
 which underlies those measures Is the right of the people of each State and each Ter ritory, while Territory, to decide the slavery question for themselves"
 We have, in compliance with this sug- gestion, "searched the record,' says the Constitution, but do not find that Congress
 intended to confer this power upon the people of the " Territory avhile e 7errifo- ry." Pending the Nebraska bill before the Senate, we find that the proposition was distinctly made to confer this very power upon the people of the "1erritory while q. Territory" and was voted down bI an overwhelming majority-Mr. Doug las voting with that majority against the grant of such power.
 It was asserted during the pendency of the Nebraska bill before the Senate that it authorized the Territorial Legislature to exclude Slavery If they desired to do so. In order to test the matter MT. Chase, of Ohio, proposed the following amendment to the Nebraska bill:
 "Under which the people of the Terri tory, through thelr appropriate Represen- tatives, may, if they see fit, prohibit the existence of slavery there"
 The amendment contained precisely the very doctrine which Stephen A. Doug las now advocates, and it was voted down, the vote standing ten for the amendment and THIRTY-SlX against it, and .Mr. Douglas voting in the negatiue !!

 "The amendment of Mir. Chase contains the very doctrine for which MT. Douglas Is now contending and if it had been in- corporated into the bill would have left no room for doubt or construction on the sub ject. It was, however, repudia,ed and re- jected, and Mir. Douglas co-operated with his Democratic colleagues in such rejec- ton. MT. Douglas now insists the con- struction which aine Black Republican Ssnators attempted in 1854 to put upon the Nebraska bill is the true Democratic constitution. He did not think so then. His Democratic associates who voted with him do not think so now. We regret that MT. Douglas has changed his opinions on this important question, and warn our Democratic friends against the danger of falling into the fatal error of adopting Black Republican construtions of Demo- cratic measures. ."- Memphis Avalanche.
