 We have information from reliable democrat of Conway county, who heard Col. HrNpMAN and c. A. CARROLL, Esq, at Springfield, on the 18th, that the peo- pie, en masse, are with Col. HINDMAN. The old gentleman said to us, that "Mr. CARROLL would do otolerably we'll to follow after such man as Col. HINDMAN, and put up the 'little gaps' the Colonel might leave down in the conrse of his (Col. IFS. ) speeches, but as to Mir. Carrol's answer ing the positions taken by the Colonel, he hadn't made decent siagger towards it."
 A correspondent of the 1" Old- Line -Democrat," writing from Springfield, un- der date of the 18th inst, says:
 Col. HINDmAN led off in speech of two hours length. IL was one of his hap piest efforts. He stated briefly his posi- tion on all the important political questions affecting the interests of the people of Ar kansas. He portrayed fully the iniquities of the Legislative Caucus of November 9th, lS5S-showed to the satisfaction of every unprejudiced mind, that by admit ting ow-Nothings and disorganizers into the Caucus, the principles of the democratic party were basely slaughtered i-that one of the main pillars that upheld the party, was knocked out---,hat the Johnson faction were responsible for this outrage upon the democratic party--he ex- posed the trickery of the Per-diem hum- bug-he showed that il was the creature of this central junto. conceded expressly for the purpose of leading the minds of the people from that abominable mons,rosi- ty--lhe Senatorial Caucus.
 He proved clearly to every unbiased thinking man. that Gov. CoNwAY's veto of the bill to reduce tho taxes, was an outrage upon the people an high-handed act of tyranny and oppression, and thathe was undeserying the confidence of the vo- ters of Arkansas. He also showed the new Jonnsenian process of winding up banks-that the way they wound up banks was to borrow all the money out of it, cause it to break, and then pay ii back in it's own deprecia,ed paper-that eight members of the Johnson family borrowed from the Real Estate Bank, the sum of $297.000! and paid it back chiefly in chips and whet-stonesp-,hese enormities perpe- trated by the Johnson family. Col HIND MAN proved by regular authenticated doc uments. IL was not bare assertion, but proof positive-proof that no man will question or deny.
 At the conclusion of Col. HINDmAN's speech, MT. CARROLL arose to reply. He commenced by declaring himself candi- date for seat in the lower house of Con- gress, at the ensuing election. MT. CAR ROLL said he had supported Col. HrNp-l MAN cordially at the election in 1S5S-that he endorsed his positions, in part, now dlsagreeing with him only on mirror ques- tions of State policy. He repudiated the caucus which nominated SEBASTIAN; said 1t was un- -Democralic--a direct attack upon the Democratic party-and further said he would have BoLrED BEFORE HE WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR SEBASTIAN Ar- TER HIS EoAIsATIoS BY THAT CAUCUS. What says the True Democrat to that MT. CARROLL openly confessed that he would have encouraged Reorganization in ihe democratic ranks! With what con sistencY. then, can the True Democrat sustain Mr. CARROLL! How can the Democracy sustain man who openly ad- vocates rebellion and disorgan;zation in the party
