The Tactics of a Politician

the sword in one hand and the Koran in tn, other. If man was ready to exclain 'great Is Reorganization and Hindman i: its prophet" he was forthwith admitted as true believer; but, if he hesitated, he was immediately slaughtered
 Thus we find that the editor of the Helens Southron was repeatedly solicited to cop. solidate his establishment with that of the State Rights Democrat, being then thonght worthy of full fellowship, but upon tbe overtures being rejected, was forthwith ie- nounced as disorganizer and know lnth- ing. Thus we find that the e,litor ofthe Madison Journal was a political wrnG for the Hindman organ at Helena and @t fault to be found in him, until he refued to wear the yoke, whereupon he was inonti- nently denounced as an abolitionist. know nothing and ever so many bad thags.- One of the principal counts in thebill of indictment framed and attempteI to be brought against MT. Hooper, was one to the effect that he had slandered Ia leading politician about Helena Mir. Heper, in 'disposing of this charge, expos one of the tricks resorted to by small, atngulng politician. It is worth readings specl- men of the tactics.
 HAT ISLANDER PERPETRATED0N A LEAD NC POLITICIAN ABOUT HELENA A~Accordlng to promise, we here give an eRose of thls the last charge against us by dlr ehemles. These men who have so sangSheiy sought our destruction, though they're now welt ering in their blood, split Y ther own hands, vet the little hope VI lfn thlS charge, unanswered, may give th@', may be a source of no little annoyaJe from men of their desperate fortunes. Though they have fallen irrevocably, ret we wish to heap the last stone upon tslr heads, which was gathered to sink us.s
 This Heading politici@ refers to T. C. Hindman, Congressman elect from this district; and as he put 5 foot Tn the per sonal snuabble between fr. Dunn and our self, we shall in this expse, show It's cloven form, and the hideous pture ot the man to whom it is attached.E
 Shortly before inc esction of U $. Sen ator by the General Issembly, two peti- tions were circulated tough Philips coun- ty, one for Hanly, tb other for Sebastian. These petitions wereo be sent to the capi- tol to influence the ectlon, The object ot tile petition for Jude Hanly, was perfectly palpabe to every binking mind Hind man and his friendwere Handy men, and took an active partvith the petition in his favor, if they lid lot originate it. Hanly did not want his pme thus to be used, for he had not taken teps to acquire the posi- ton. and moreorr he did not wish to run against Sebastia This he announced both publicly and priately, and came nearmak- ing it a person, issue with him who was chief in circulang the petition for him. And had he swhed the position, he could not have allord his name thus to be used He saw the eme that was being played. Hindman ar his friends were thus active for Hanly. n. that they loved Hanly more, but that the loved Sebastian less The object was make Hanly means, an in- strument,Eb which Sebastian might be sacrificed. t was thought by these men that Ham could carry Phillips county over Sebaian, and thus by getting up pc titions, al proving this fact by a majority being obiined in Hanly's favor the fact would gabroad, and at Little Rock, that Sebastia couldn't carry his own county, which ityas tho't would seriously endan- ger his ection. In this we see Hindman stickin;out as plain as day. He saw there was chance for Hanly's election, and thus tdestroy Sebastian would be cutting the tloats of both-the cherished objects of all he efforts of him and his friends Judg IIanly saw at once that this was the obet for which they were using his name and nus forbid it's going farther.
 a the afternoon we heard of the circu latig of these petitions, gentleman, anC fpnd of llindman's. told us that he { II.
 WI working for Hanly, and that he him
 SC was solicited by him to sign tLo peti tia which he accordingly did. That even ib, in rather private conversation with Iicuple of gentlemen, we remarked oJHe Ie1am. what we had heard concerning Hind nan and the petition for Hanly, and tha Q was on the street Cat Helena, soliciting 1ubscribers. On IIindman's being inform 5d of what we had said, he at once grew wrathy, feisning great injury, an( kye frs opportunity demanded our aut , o opportunity presented itSsl as WI were in his office looking for a book tha had been either borrowed or mislaid. Or entering his office we were at once saluteC with an imperious interrogatory of wha we had said concerning him (tIindman) an, the petition for Judge Hanly, and at th' same time demanding our author Thi we peremptorily refused to give, for iron his boisterous manner we were bound |, presume that difficulty might ensue be tween him and our informant, and we there fore thought proper to keep his name t ourself The name being again demande, we again refused to give 1t, when he sud denly moved around in his chair, and throw ing his head back upon his shoulders brought 1t forward with a spasmodic super cillious bow and exclaimed unless de handed" Things were now getting prett warm, but still we were determined to re veal no name Finding that his supercili ousness did not produce its wonted terror he suddenly calmed down, and then con fessed that he did have the petition in hi hands for a few minutes, at the corner c his office, and 'that it was very probabl that he did solicit subscriber which he be lieved he got"
 This is the islander" with which we ar charged of circulating. The fact is Hind man did have the petition, and solicite subscribers The petition might have bee left in his hands temporarily or by accident but that has nothing to do with the ques tion. He was openly for Judge Hanly a he told us, not that he was his choice the State, or that he even desired him, bl that he thought him better democrat tha Sebastian. If it was his duty, as he thougl to stand to Hanly, and thus to work fC him, could it be a islander to say that | had the petition for him in his hands, an was soliciting subscribers?
