TOTOTQTIANA

A bvstandeI remarked that it was strange. if Hindmar was yet democrat, know nothing should praise him, to which the reply was that the speaker was not a know nothing now.- Upon being further asked if he had turned democrat the answer was, "yeS, abont hal way-l am an old liner now" To return In order to he revenged on Tototot, they take his former letters, clip out sentences and parts of sentences, omit words and SC alter the whole paragraph they pretend tc quote, as to make it read entirely different After accomplishing this wonderful feat the next thing is to make string of false de- ductions and by italicising, and the plenti- ful use of interrogation and exclamation II cured to Tototot that the same thing could be done very easily as regards the champion of Reorganization. and as he has adopted that mode of warfare cannot object to my using the same weapous
 In the issue of the State Rights Demo- crat March l2 1859, with Hindman and Blackburn as editors the leading article is entitled '' Americans must rule America. ]" The conclusion of that article is in these words:
 "T'he time for words and oily diplomacy has passed-the people tired and sick of everything of the sort. Their minds run back to the days of Jackson and their ears burn to hear one of those sturdy oaths with which the old hero terrified the tyrants of the earth. Now. we do not advise Mr. Buchanan to swear: but we do hope he will emulate Jackson in other respects-that he will take the responsibility of vindicatng our standing as a people and, even at the hazard of war and all it's horrors will proclaim and enforce the doctrine that !" Americans must rule America" Let him do this, and his fame will be immortal as that of the giants of the first and second wars of freedom''
 Our readers know that this was the slo- gan of the know nothings, yet we find an editor of so-callcd democratic paper talk : ing up the worn out cry, insisting upon the doctrine being carried out and that at the hazard of war and all its horrors!
 In the issue of April 9, an article which is vauntingly asserted to be written by Hindman, has these remarks in relation to the "per diem:'
 |" It may be consistent and proper to denounce every member of the legislature who took pay for services not rendered as a robber. a plunderer, a thiefan all that is vile and corrupt
 Again, in the same article the author uses the phrase '' the sinfulness of taking constructive per diem.''
 In his paper of March 26th, in writing of the per diem question Hindman says that Mr. Oates " takes high conscientious ground on the subject"
 l have no desire to take up space in imi- tating the spreading process of the $. R. D. by saying the same thing over dozen times with the simple difference that ca ch time it gets further from the truth. but will try its plan once to show how it is practiced by that honora5le sheet.
 l. By the first extract above given it will be seen that T. c. Hindman in March last was in favor of Americans ruling America
 ?. Not content with indorsing this plank in the know nothing platform he wanted it carried out "epen ot Me hozard of uor and oH is horrorS."
 3. He wanted lIr. Buchanan to proclaim and enforce that doctrine and declared that by so doing his fame would become immor- tai
 4 Hindman asserted in April last, that it was consistent and proper to denounce the "per diem legislators as robbers. plum derers, MiereS and all that is vile and cor rupt"
 }. He stigmatized the taking of the per diem as < sinfumcss.
 6. He says that the ground taken by Mr. Oates on that question was highly conscien- tious.
 The reader can put in exclamation points here to suit and lie has sample of the way in which the State Rights Democrat argues and its mode of treating a subject.
 The plentiful use of adjectives and a bois- terous parade of bold words are hy many mistaken for argument. No matter how ,,-F,;.l,, 4I,o .b,-,., ;.. ,,,,Jo o- o,,. ,,,, warranted it may be if made with impudent ferceneses. it finds believers. Now the abili- ty ofthis woull-bc great man has been most sadly ovcrratel Fire, energy, brass and the gift of the gab he has in abundance. = Judgment, discretion and fair dealing he has not an iota of In all his writings and speeches there is not an original idea. II IS speech on federal relations is a mere rehash of the speeches and writings of others-re- statements ofpoints and doctrines that have been cardinal in the south for half centu- ". His disorganizing course is act for act and word for word a repetition of what has been done in Arkansas. He borows even his charges from his know nothing allies. The attack upon Senator Johnson com menced by saying he was not fairly nomi- mated. Hisattacll on Senator Sebastian is a mere ditto of that Ten or twelve years ago the disorganizers raised the cries oi " family" iunto clique" :" oli-  garehy'' and like humbugs, all of which now form a good part of the stock in trado of the opposition and disorganizers. Dan ley of the Gazette first assaiicd the Govern or for not signing the bill to reduce the ratC of State tax. After he had fashioned this weapon he delivered it to his ally who is now brandishing it about The Gazette first asserted that the public printing cost S2O,O0 a year.
