For the True Democrat.
woTOTOTIANA.


 The State Rights Democrat of the 23d ult.. comes to me as rampant and pIucky as ever, though shorn of half it's propor tions. had expected no less than to see it in mourning for the loss it was reported to have sostaiaed. showinga becoming sorrow for the extinguishmcnt of an oll line light the evanishment of political lrmina- " that shonc Lut to be scll-ecIipsed.- No cast of sorrow is to De seen in it-no trace of tears for the loved and lost-no re- grets for the departed one; instead of these, like band of musicians returning from a funeral, it plays its liveliest airs and rattes along at its usual breakneck pace.
 As a great deal of space in the half-sheet issued is devoted to Tototot, he can do no less than return the compliment by notic- inc the writer thereof, who endeavors to apologize for his former scurriity, but who should remember these lines of Pope's:
 sImmodest words admit of no defence;
 A want of decency s a want of sense"
 That paper, in trying to make out its case, has not scrupled to resort to those low pettifogging meanncsses so disgraceful to those who use them. It garbles and sup presses publishes portions of letters and diverts other portions from their proper places so as to give different meaning- Quitting words and sentences, destroying the facts, drawing false conclusions, and of fering the garbled and therefore false ex- tracts as proof, is the only game he can play. Some people are thus deceived .- They take 1t for granted that statements made so boldly must be true, especially when they are accompanied with appa- rent proof How different is this from bold, frank opponent. How different from that which we are led to expect from one who is eternally and forever beating his bo- som and prating of his honor
 Since the above was written the succeed ing number of S. R. D., is at hand, with J. NJ. Jackson as sole editor and proprietor. There is no farewell to Brother Craw- ford" The attack on Tototot is continued, though the real author is itnerating. In due time I shall show that these articles cut both ways and that they prove conclu- sivelv that Hinlman is now a disorganizer. The points sought to be established are that 
 Tototot was a whig in l851-'2; that he ap- proved the compromise measures of 1850, and that he favored the dsoTganzing de- mocrats of that day as the know nothings now favor Hindman 1 leave this point for the present, promising to recur to it again.
 Tototot is told that the right bower of Mr. H., took occasion, last winter, in the | Representative hall, to admit that he had been whig and know nothing and was then democrat. Presuming him to have been sincere, the frank admission did him credit In Benton county, another gentle man who Is said to be an old line whig, Is a Hindman man. Now when they see 1t urged against Tototot that he held precisely the opinions they held; that he did as they have done and wrote as they spoke, they must feel as if they come in for their share of denunciation. In view of the con- tinued attack on Tototot, we'll may Messrs. Baxter and Douglas exclaim to Col. Hind- man, " call you this backing your friends?" Men are to be found in this city, who a few years ago overhowed with curses on Hind ! man; who when the report came that Rice
