TIE OLD-LINE DEMocRAr.--We are in receipt of the first number of this new weekly journal. established at Little Rock. THOMAS c. PEEK, Editor--JAs. D. Bur- LER, w. B. DooLrrrLE, Publishers. The mechanical execution of the paper is un- excep,ionable, as also the introductory ofits editor. Upon the various subjects agita- ting the public mind we find clear and explicit expression. The" Cardinal Doc. trines on the Subject of Slavery 1" Juris- diction over the Territories" Non-lnter- ference Considered" Congressional h. terveniion for the Protection of Property in the Territories" The Right of Seces. sion," &c., are all able and wel-timed articles. and will meet with the hearty amen of every man who is true to demo- cratic principles and the institutions of the South.

 We have always adhered to democrat ic principles and yoled the democratic ticket. Is tha, treason9 We have ever. through our columns. stood by the agri- cultural class of ihe State, and favored the fur,herance of their interests. Has Dick Johnson, through the True Democrat done SO! We have never sacrificed our poiti. cal principles to put men in office-nol even 10 secure the election of a United States Senator. Has not Dick Johnson done so? Finally. for the present, let il be distinctly understood, that we follow DO man or set of men, politically. except they abide by and conform to the established usages of the democratic party. There fore, we conclude that Dick Johnson has commiited treason fo,rards he democracy, and doubtless, the first opportunity will do so again, when 'time, place and oppor- tunity present themselves

 l. We witnessed the course of Mir. Etheridge during the 33d and 34lh Con- sresses. His votes and his associations were any thing but Southern. A stran- ger would have supposed that he hailed from some district way up in Massachu- sets.
 3. Horace Greeley has frequently said that he is willing to work in the traces with Emerson Etheridge.
 3. The Southern Opposition members will think that they can vote for Ether idqe with safety to themselves at home, because of his location.
 l. The Black Republicans seeing that they cannot elect one of their own avowed fsiends-will be very willing to support Etheridge because of his we'll known sympathes.

"Ihe Des Arc Citizen contains pull of the spread eagle order, of the champion of the disorganizers. and after giving the heads of the speech, which appear to be selected from the Gazette, arranged in something like or der, the man of the Citizen spasmodically gasps out .ssuccess to Hindman say we.' slf that be treason make the most of it." Of course the Citizen wouldsay so and if it dared would say success to great many other things. As to the treason. let the editor of the Citi- zen console himself with the reflection that he cannot commit treason"
 We find the above in the Little Rock True Democrat of the 14lh inst. It has reference 10 an article of ours headed "CoI. T. c. Hindman and his canvass, which appeared in the Citizen of the 3lst ult. The attempt of Dick Johnson, his aiders and abeltors, and his whole tribe ot haugers-on, to create the impression that we have in any manner or form shaped our course, politically. after the Little Rock Gazetie, is So manileslly false, as to scarce create the necessity for contradlc- ton. As usual. the True Democrat in- sinuates that we would 'say success to great many other things" but does not mention what those "other things" are. Its satellites, in Prairie county, who have from the time we commenced publishing q paper here, assailed us with slauder and yitupera,ion, are still at work. We never wore the sJohnson collar" and this array, mixed with class who are all things to all men, politically, have stultided every principle of fair-dealing in their course towards us. and thus have aided materially in injuring us pecuniarily. We defy them as to our course politically or personally. There are plenty of men in Prairie and adjoining counties who have known us near twenty years, and to them we appeal as 10 our charseter4sua eeurse through lifs
 Measuring US by his own standard, Dick Johnson exclams "Let the editor or the Citizen console himself with the re- iiection that lie cannot commit treason. Thus i, ever has been, and ever will be with such men as Dick Johnson. They can always be found usng certain kinds Of appliances io drag others to their own base level.

NEW PATENT.

rTvhe undersigned having procured the exclu-
 l sive right of manufacturing and selling to the citizens of Prairie county Arkansas, the late improvement in blows. (known as Har- ris' twelve pointed shovel and turning plow.) would inform the planters of said county that he is prepared to receive and fill all orders, which will be done in regular turn, notifying the person ordering, as soon as ready.
 This is no Yankee humbug for speculation, but was gotten up in the South by an expe- rienced workman. on scientific principles, to suit the wants of the cotton growing commu- nity. an five minutes examination will satisfy the most credulous, that it is the neatest, best, and in the end, the cheapest blow ever of fered.
 They will be put up at Atlanta, Prairie county, under the superintendence of an ex- perienced workman and no means or time will be spared in making them neat and durable.
 The advantages of this over all other blows to the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go- ing to the shop, time saved in changing blows and the smiths bin. In this you have four distinct blows, all working perfect, Ono sub stitute in either,) which you can change at pleasure on any part of your farm, no other tool being required but your clevis pin; first, you have small shovel, suited for all ordi- nary purposes of that tool, by adding one mould. either right or left, you have a good  place q cutter before it and you have an excel lent new ground plow: iii the third place, put on both moulds and you have large shovel, perfectly suited to breaking out the middles of cotton rows; and fourth, by reversing the moulds of the large shovel, you have good cotton sweep, all four working better than you can get any common smith to make of wrought iron. In addition you have, by adjusting the point (which is made of the best of wrought pow steel, } five extra points and eleven extra sharpenings, over other blows. winch is said, by some of the most prominent planters in North Mississippi, to be sufficient for five crops; and all this for st 50-l0O, without cutter, or S7 50-lO0 with cutter attached; these are shop prices. l will send them to Brownsville or Hickory Plain, in lots of 20 for s per lot or to Des Arc, at $6 per lot
 eY- Terms invariably cash on delivery of | the blow. C. A. HARRIS, .l

Ess@ Nearly every pleasant evening, says the Washinlon Mates. Gen. Cass can be seen sitting in the door Of his man. sion. When we gaze upon the lluslrous statesman, our mind travels back to the tune when he crossed the Aleghany mountains on his way to the wilderness of the far West. Then he was an unknown adventurer. Now his reputation is CO., extensive with civilized society. His best eulogy IS hls country's history. Gen. Cass is in his 77th year, but the amount of labor he daily performs is truly astonlsh- ing We need not say that he manages our foreign affairs with consummate ablli- ty. May he live thousand years.

ssr The Richmond Enquirer says that MT. Douglas doctrine of the right of a Territorial Legislature to exclude slaves "ls even more practically and effectively subyerslve of the constitutional rights of shareholders, than Is the doctrine malntain- ed by MT. Seward and his adherents of the Black Republican party. MT. Seward holds that Congress may righlfully exclude slave property from the Territories Mir. Douglas contends that this power resides in the local authorities of each Territory. So far, then, as the great question of prin- ciple involved IS concerned, there Is no ma teiial difference between Mir. Douglas and Mir. Seward. Both deny the ina lenable right Of the citizens of each State to enjoy, on territory common 10 all the States, every species of property which any citizen may lawfully hold within the limits of any one of the States"
