 Terms-0ne Copy One Year $2 % each, (Paya6le on Receipt of he first No.) THE Democracy of Phillips county as-
 A sembled in mass meeting. at Helena, on Monday, May 23, 1859, and adopted the fol- lowing resolution:
 !" Inasmuch as the Old-Line Democracy of Arkansas have no organ at our State csp- ital,--the so-called "True Democrato being wholly subservient to the wishes of certain politicians and regardless of the welfare ofthe party at large--therefore the Chairman of this meeting is hereby requested to appoint a committee of three Democrats of this county, whose duty it shall be to correspond with Democrats throughout the State, asking their cooperation in the establishment, at Little Rock, of an organ of the Democratic masses, to uphold the convention system in its purity, to oppose all fusions and coalitions, to advo- cate the interests of ths whole party and to re- main forever free f. om the control of any as- pirant, clique, or faction"
 The foregoing statements and conclusions are undeniably correct. The rank and file of our party--the "honest, hard-fsted yeoman- ry" who do our voting ard win our victories, without other hope of reward than the coun- try's good and the approval of their own con sciences-have no mouthpeace at Little Rock. The so-called True Democrat makes blind obedience to clique of office-holders and of fce-seekers the test of orthodoxy, and de- nounces as "traitors" and t disorganizers" all who would not kiss the feet of those lordly aristocrats. Yet, while thus arrogantly ex- communicating men who never iinched in the advocacy of our principles, who never hesi- tated to sustain our usages, and whose only sin is that they scorn to acknowledge master, that paper itself is edited by an ex Whig. ex- Know Nothing, latter day convert-is the apologist of coalition with our political en- mics-and the defender of the fraudulent ad- mission of Know Nothing and Disorganizers into Democratic conventions
 It is not to be expected that Democrats will acquiesce in such abuses and submit to such intolerable presumption. They cannot do so without abandoning their ancient landmarks, sacrificing all their party dignity, and forfeit ing all their individual self-respect. Hence the action of the Philips Democracy in the premises. Hence, also, this appeal to every good Democrat in the State, to aid in carrying out their suggestion.
 The intention is to issue the first number of The Old Line Democrat in August next. Each friend of the enterprise is therefore requested to obtain immediately, as many subscribers as possible, on the terms set forth at the be- ginning of this prospectus. and forward the list without delay, to The Old Line Democrat, care of James Blackburn, Helena, Arkansas.

innocent, while they admit the guilt of Jones,

that these men were of the crew of the ship

MoKALUME HILL, May 9th
A fire broke out in the Drug Store of DR.

night How the fire originated it is impossi
ble to tell as the store had been closed at IC
and all the lights extinguished. The occu-
pants were attending ball given by the
Turn Vereins about one half mile from
town.
The building in which the fire occurred
is stone one, fire proof 1t was some time
before the doors could be got open and had
there been any wind at the time the entire
town would have been consumed. But
through the exertions of the citizens it wa.
confined to the building in which it origina-
ted.
The building was occupied by DR.. Fischer
as Drug Store and Liverson & Bro, as
Book Store. A small board partition divided
the two. The losses sustained by DR.. F. /.
50, 800. and others about $500.
