Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-11-30
Spirit of the Arkansas Press

The Seafcy Eagle pays compliment to Gov. Conway, and recommends Capt, D. McCreery, of Wita cosnty, as his successor A correspondent in the same paper strong ly arges Capt McCreely's claims.
 The Helena Note Book gives all account of fellow named John Burnside, an abo Iitionist from the north who, being drunk, declared on the streets of Helena that the negroes should be free, that he would fight to free them, with several other sentiments Of like character. Whereupon the citizens treated the aforesaid John to ride on a rail carried by negroes. with appropriate music, and shipped him. As regards the resolution commented upon by the Note Book resolving that none were democrats who failed, "unless providentially hinder ed, to vote for the nominee of his district for Congress at the August election. 1858" which was introduced in the caucus and written by Tommy, we have an idea to suggest One of the know nothings, who voted against Sebastian and who was ad- mitted into the Sunday cducus, held in the U. 5. district court room, said that he vot- ed for Albert Rust. If that resolution had passed, he would have been admitted, all though an open and avowed know nothing, because he said or his colleague said for him, that he had voted for the democratic nominee of his district for Congress.
 Another editor gone. We clip the fol- lowing from the Madison Pioneer, of which the bridegroom is the editor:
 "MARRIED-On the 9th day of Novem Der, by the Rev. B. F. Thomas, GEO. LEW EILYN BROWN to Miss AMELIA l.. You've. all of Madison.'
 The Arkansaw Traveller says that the Methodist church at that place is about to establish female college and the Presby- terians male college. Success to them A late number of the Traveller reviews the decision of the solicitor general in regard to pre-. emptions by reclamation The former construction, giving the pre-emptor twelve months in which to do the necessary labor, was liberal one and was no doubt intend ed by the legislature The solicitor cener- al in his opinion shews that according to the wording of the law, ali unoAered lands so pre-empted, must be paid for before the day of sale. This renders the law almost valueless to the poor man. It requires him ta do $l20 worth of labor in seven or eight weeks and that in addition to the ordinary labor of poor man is almost an impossi- bility, unless he hires 1t done.
 The Fort Smith Times and Thirty-Fifth Parallel each charge and prove falsehood upon correspondent of the Old Line De- nlocrat, who signed himself "Thess. - The facts developed are rich. Mir. Whee- Ter says of the croacd that turned out to hear Hindman, |" the church was fa1 from being full" A church Is strange place, it
  strikes us for a political pettifogger to re- tail his islanders. Gen. Mayors says this:
 '' So far as the meeting was concerned. there were more K. Ms than democrats at it, and there was not over enc hundred voters, all told
 There were six or seven ladies, and about forty school boys, and we venture to say that there IS not a man who was present but knows this to be fair estimate of the number. Nearly all who belonged to the democratic party have expressed their opin- ion as to the effect of Col. Ills speech; and they all say it fell still born-that few ficticious writers who have sunk themselves so low as to be beyond the power of re- demption, should write letters to trv, and bolster up their sinking fortunes is not strange; and the fact that they have to re- sort to falsehood, shows they are stranded on an inhospitable .hore'
 It appears they attempted to give the little fellow a dinner, at which fourteen persons sat down. The little politician was strong on the 35th parallel and weak on per diem. He tried the conciliation dodge and was plausible as he could be- He for got to tell them of his bitter hostility to the Memphis road, which is but an extension of the Fort Smith road, to fix the line of the Pacific railroad on the 35th parallel The laudatory letter of "Thesis" is but a  sample of those published by the Hindman organs, and if all not written by himself, 'as some are, they are dictated or suggested by him.
 The 35th Parallel uses properly strong language with regard to the publication of private letters, and asks:
 Suppose every one who gets letters, was to use them to gratify private pique, how long would it be before all confidence would be destroyed between friends9- rfh AL AL
