Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-12-21

State; we must have man that some one knows, and not rely upon Memphis papers for hIs history and anticedentS, and as the ball has been set in motion now is the time to keep it rolling
 Gen. Mitchell and Judge Fletcher are spoken of here in connection with the mo- imitation for Governor; either of them would make a good officer There is one thing beyond doubt, the man who gets the delegation from this part of the State will have to be known to be out and out against this squad.
 Some scribbler in the Old Line Demo- crat thinks that you have acted in bad taste. in not hunting up Capt. Peek to make his l acquantance-thinks you are very unkind Tn not inviting him to eat oysters with you, and do as the two Johns once upon time did, CIyler and Botts) sleep together. As he Is from one of the first families in Vir- glnla; he thinks, no doubt, that such cour- tesy IS due him. This is the only instance upon record, or at most, that 1 have ever known, where man is required or even expected to take into fellowship another that has hired himself out, and that on a credit, to indorse, abuse slander and false hood against him. A man must be hard run and low down, who will put his con- science (if he has any against a little filthy lucre Tn expectancy, in order to get into place where he can spit his venom and slime on every one that desires to think or act for himself. Think of it here is man. a stranger in the State, calling himself de- mocrat, who had agreed with others, to vlllity and abuse good men and true demo- crats at that, who never harmed him and did not know until recently that there was such specimen in existence. Some per sons have come to the conclusion that the citizens of Arkansas have not the qualiti- cations necessary to manage their own affairs; oh no, they lack honesty truth and capacity-all of which they themselves have an abundance and some to spare gra- tuitousI y to those in need; they assume to be our sentincls, catch everyone that has an idea of doing wrong, but if a man hap pens to think differently from them, they have 1t not in their hearts to spare him. Sebastian, Johnson, Conway and all the old, good and loyal democrats are read out of the party-new tests are applied, and men to come up to those tests are read in; even the great and good Sevier is not allow ed to rest in peace; he who did more for the State than any one man that she ever honOred with trust at home or abroad: :: but let me tell them that their days are few and mbered-that the day of retributve justice Is not far distant-that their tricks are being rapidly exposed and they will soon be overtaken, and the dose attempted to be forced down others will be given them les, sir, the arm of an outraged and too confding people is lifted to strike the blow that will el1acc for all time to come every trace and foot print which has been made through and by the help and generosity of those they are now slandering; the hand writing Is upon the wall, so plain that he who luns may read
 ou need not waste any more powder upon Morrill,, the Des Are Citizen man; if he continues to grunt and whine about go- vernment pap, turn him over to the tender mercies of Coulter of the Brownsville Echo, he can manage him and not halt try. Morrill, has been trying to hubbub himself into notice by squealing at the public crib Tn and around Brownsville, says that Mr. King the sheriff of Prairie county gives the printing to the Echo. The reason is obvious-the sheriff prefers to patronize an independent man to wishy washy dis organizer. Merrill claims that he and his paper are democratic, but this is amistake; upon examination they are both found to be about as valuable to the democratic party as dead dog, though it is impossi- ble to make whistle out of pigs tail It almost makes me shcad tears to think of parting with him and never expect to see him in another democratic convention, l take this opportunity of saying good bye Mr. Morrill,
 W. L. Martin claims to be the author of the Nlator letters, which as you know, does not affect any change in the constitution of the United States-the question vet unset tied is, whether or not he is the author of the letter over his signature claiming the authorship of the Niator productons,- Look out for letters from Washington city from every body; those letters will be pub lished in two papers in this State and will be all about one thing
 ours as ever,
