Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-10-05
Total. 26!

Mir. Bussy desires to say that it anybody can beat it. he will :" try, try again. We think it will be hard to do. This cotton not gatiered, but picked clean from the boil.
 The South Arkansas Democrat devotes nearly two columns to us. It seems to in sist that we injured il, sought a quarrel and all that sort of thing, which we are content with once discaimng. But the article is singular one. We give some extracts from 1t:
 "We are disposed to notice the True Democrat in the most pleasant manner. We are in a charm ing humor with all mankind, the world and all 1t holds, and would not wifully crush the meanest thing that creeps upon the earth.'
 Again:
 "We have written this article in great good hu- nor, and with an earnest desire for peace."
 Now read this:
 "We are little interested in the apparently grave charge of "desire to act with the disorganizers, but was fearful to do o;' |" it wanted to commit the act but feared the consequences" for its known fasity renders it perfectly harmless, and but to evnce the bitter enmty ot that paper towards us, and proves what some time since advertised the public of that the declaration of the True Den0crat relative to inconsistency, was but the initiatory step to a direct charge of dsorganZa- tion."
 "We never use underground railroads-neyer have had travelling 'boot-licks' nor local spies, to pry into other mens affairs, and report; and when the True Democrat any other paper asserts 1 that we secretly favor what we dare not openly avow, it uters falsehood and prostitutes its col umns to slander. Our past actions and present status refutes all such vile imputations."
 Now we dislike to see anybody angry or show manifestation ofil temper, but in this case we would like to see what sort of an article the editor would write when in an ill-humor. It would certainly be liter ary curiosity.
 From the Van Buren Press we learn that the farmers of Crawford county have taken the preliminary steps to form an agricultu- ral society. The following item is from the Press:
 "LoNGEvIry-EIIsHA MELTON died few days since in our neighboring county of Franklin, at the advanced age of one hundred and four years. MT Melton moved from Alabama to Franklin county twenty six years ago. and at his death was probably l the oldest man Tn Arkansas"
 From the Jefferson Independent we learn that Harry Mccarthy, the comedian, had stolen from him the watch presented by the citizens of Camden. The editor congratu lates himself upon not being an office hold CT.
 The North West Appeal publishes tht letter of certain persons calling upon Ali M Wilson, to prove that he is democrat This self-constituted jury reverse the usua mode. The rule is that the burden of proo is upon the accusers, but they cite men be fore them, to prove themselves innocent The document is rich one, and the Appea very properly examines the commissions o these self-constituted judges. Before the, are allowed to sit in judgment on other they had better submit to trial. This i nice state of things, truly, that squad of a faction shall call upon private citizel who dares to think for himself to defend his right to oppose disorganizers and dis organization.
