Hon. Isaac Toucey.

The Van Buren Press has an editorial and'a communication in regard to this ster- ling democrat and his claims to the Presi- dency. We will republish both articles as soon as we can find room In the dark days of democracy, when all around him wavered and whole regiments fled before the black republicans, the gallant Toucey, with few kindred spirits, remained firm. Steadfast and true, he forms centre around which the democracy of Connecticut will form again in battle array. This is proud tribute to Mir. Toucey. A newspaper in the far west, on the western border of western State bears testimony to the truth and bearing of democrat from the far east 50 consistency and frmness find their re- ward and the recognition of true men. It shows too that the democratic party has good and able men at the north from whom to select President, should the south fail to unite on one of her sons. Toucey, Dick mson, Lane-all good and true. Our pre- ference has been expressed for southron, but Ii, among the great and good men who are worthy of honor by the democratic par ty, northern man is selecled to lead, either Toucey, Dickinson or Lane would marshal the way to victory.
Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-11-02
The Fugleman.

The editor of the Gazette, though but a sleeping partner as yet, is the fugleman of the disorganizers. The Gazette first started the cry about the public printing. The disorganizers have done nothing but repeat its article The Gazette took singu lar ground with regard to the per diem. It said, if we are not mistaken, that the Go- vernon was to blame, and that the taking of per diem pay was wrong as taking of mlle- age. To this very position the disorgan- izing chief has come. He says he does not defend the taking of the money, and the Governor is to blame. The Gazette first found fault with the action or non action of the Governor in relation to the bill to re- duce the rate of State tax. The disorgan- izers have preached from the text he fur nshed. They even copy his very words and oppose those whom he opposes. If he derisively calls Tototot, "Toot-e-toot," forthwith the disorganizing correspondents of their peculiar organ echo him. Still further, if the Gazette, straining a point, acknowledges democrat like Mir. Carroll, to be gentleman, forthwith the disorgan- izing presses make the discovery. If the reader of Arkansas politics will read the Gazette regularly, he can tell the positions of the disorganizers weeks in advance.- Every single, solitary position taken by the one on State politics has been taken by the other. This is, certainly, complimentary to Capt Danley. We allude to the fact, not to find fault with it or to quarrel with the right of any man to take those posi- tions, but when they are parading the speeches and sayings of Hindman and his paper as something new, we merely allude to the fact that if there is any credit others are entitled to it. The disorganizers are peddling secondhand wares. If they find purchasers let them sell them, but it is wrong to sell theneas new when they have been used, cast aside and have been picked up and refurbished.

Just Think of Ii

A late number of the Monticello Saoe edited by c. Federal Hemmingwav. has the following absurd and outrageous state ment:
 Just think reader of public printer getting h;yt, sir thousand dollars for the printing of this State morein proportion to the work than any other public printer gets in the United States.
 The writer knew when he penned the above falsehood that this amount paid for printing, stitching, folding, and binding, except binding the Digest and few copies of the geological survey, and that the work was done as cheaply as like work is done in the South.
 Is it not sad to see man who once stood fair, descend to such an abyss of mendacitvs ? Alas! poor human nature.
 Mr. H. voted to re-elect the proprietors of the True Democrat, last winter, to do the public printing, and he then knew as much about it as he does now.

A Piols Commodore.
Cease, rude Boreas, blust'ring railer, List, ye landsmen all to me, Messmates, hear brother sailor


 Sing the great American partee!
 So sung Dibdin, except the last line, which might have been sung by Commo- dore Stockton when about to make his late speech We have no desire to write irrev- enty of sacred subjects, or treat religious topics with any deree of levity; neverthe- less, there is something ridiculous, if not ludicrous, in the idea of the New Jersv ora tor claiming the know nothing party as a religious one We would like to copy had we room, the whole of the concluding DOT ton of the address. After a reference to Massachusetts and the celebration at Ply moth, he states they erected a monument on that occasion, representing Faith. with a Bible in one hand, the other pointing to- wards Heaven and the face turned down to the people. Then adds Stockton:
 "What can be added to such but beautiful ex- pression of Gods power and mans faithl There is that ifeess, cold marble, that speaks a lesson we ought never to forget. It would tell you, were you siOOklnS at IL, ReHieHDer tHy Oou, Wno brought you out of the land of Egypt. Forget him not"
 Inasmuch as these were Americans who had never been in Egypt, it appears to us the address of the marble was inappropri- ate.
 The Commodore then goes on to show that ours is christian nation, that the re- ligious sentiment is distinctive element of our nationality. All this is preliminary to his showing that this religious sentiment is centered in the know nothings. Says he further:
Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-11-02
Nothing New.

"There is nothing new under the sun," The war upon the body of the democracy, upon the Senators, the Governor and the True Democrat, is no new thing. Some new recruits have been enlisted; some new officers imported and placed over to drill them; but, with this exception, the whole thing has been played out before. Turning over old files of papers we were struck with the parallelism of the present with the for mer contests. Step by step, word for word and event after event, the disorganizers now are following in the footsteps of their predecessors. The same worn out charees are revived, the same humbugs paradea, the same style of warfare adopted. SNA sation letters are written, furore sought | to be created, an internal racket made and any amount of bragging done. So 1t was before Yet when the smoke clears away. the fire is found to be of musty straw. We would like, if we had leisure, to copy ar ticles from old papers of those days and compare them with those of the present. Indeed, the disorganizers will find arti- cles already written which they can copy and need not cudgel their brains to invent any more. The present contest is more determined, because the interests involved are greater. It is simply question whether the people or bank debtors shall pay seve- ral millions of dollars Of course, the po- litical gamblers will play it "low down" and leave no trick untried to win. We 4 have seen the thing done so often that ii\ has no charm of novelty for us. Then, as now. the opposition were confident and predicted the triumph of the disorganizers. We waited for the verdict of the people. It came, and the disorganizers of that day, where are they? The road has but one outlet. It leads straight into the camp of the opposition. Hereafter, when men, who once were proud to call themselves demo- crats, find themselves there, let them remem- Der we warned them and pointed to the ex- amples of others who had gone the same | road

Eg-The following appeared in the last

issue or tle Olu Llne DelnOcTaI -
 PERsoNAL--As we are compelled to be in Desha county on the last of this month, we shall leave to- day and will be absent some ten days. In the mean time our friend, Mir. Woodward, will take charge of the True Democrat.-Irue Democrat, 26
 We request those of our readers who are in the habit of reading the True Democrat, to notice, par tcularly, if they discover any difference in the style and peculiar editorial management of that pa- per, under the change indicated in the foregoing paragraph. As Mir. WOODWARD is now the avowed pro tenn editor of the True Democrat, avail our selves of the occasion, to sny, that it is deib crate conviction, founded upon our judgment of the distinctive peculiaraites in the different styles of composition, that MT. WOODWARD has largely as- sisted in editing the True Democrat, for the last two or three months If we have been mistaken in our opinion in this respect, MT. WOODWARD has an op- portunity of correcting and setting himself right on the subject.
 As Mir. w ooDwARD is a public servant holding a position in the Auditor's office, the people have
 right to know how much of the time that the State paus him for, he may consistently devote to the private interests of the publishers of the True Dem ocrat-and further, if he can find time to edit the True Democrat. and also, attend to the business of clerical duties in the Auditors office, whether or not his said office may not be abolished. This is question in which the tar payers are interested and we hope Mr. WOODWARD will enlighten them in re- gard thereto.
 Since the first of August, Mir. Johnson has been editor of the True Democrat. If it was true, as intimated, that Mir. Wood ward has been assistant editor since then, there would have been no necessity for such an announcement as was made. When Mir. Peek becomes better acquainted with ns and learns how little reliance is to be nlaced on the stories of our enemies, he will find there is no attempt at concealment, no disowning of any act and no disavowal of any authorship he or others may rightfully attribute to us. As to his surmise concern ing style and editorial management he may he mistaken. Now 1t is our deliberate con yiction, founded upon our judgment of the distictive peculiarity of certain writer who is nightly given to cracking his own trumpet and blowing it," that the most of these high-pressure, high-falutin- highly seasoned and humbugging letters, glorify- ing Hindman and abusing all who oppose him, published in the o. L. D., are really the product of one mind. But, no doubt,

TRAVELLING AGENTS

NR. w. WooLFoRD is now out on tour for the purpose of collecting and soliciting subscribers to the True Democrat. He will visit Saline, Dallas, Desha, Drew, Hot Spring, Arkansas, Ashley, Bradley, Chicot and Jefferson counties. We hope our friends will extend to him such aid as they conveniently can.
 Also Hon. J. A. JAcowAY will visit the following counties for the same purpose: Calhoun, Columbia, Hampstead, Lafayette, Montgomery, Ouachita, Pike, Polk, Sevier and Union.
 We commend him to our friends, and request for him their kind offices in further ing his business.
 We particularly request local agents to make full settlements with our travelling agents.

SOME TATERs.-Doctor Jordan sent to this office two sweet potatoes. However, one was only part of potato, several feet having been broken off, and the remainder portion, between two and three feet in length was sent. It was three or four inches in diameter. The other was yam shoped affair, big as your little boys head, and weighed about ten pounds. They are sweet, of fine grain and free from strings or coarseness. The large affair we cut up and divided among several families The long one we hung up in the kitchen as you hang fetch of bacon and cut from it each morning enough to do for the days cook ing.
 The beauty of it is that the Doctor says he sent us these little ones for fear if he sent the largest he raised, nobody would believe published account of their actual size.-- The largest are almost incredibly large.

Thrower, was set on fire lately and consumed with gin, thrasher, stables, 12 bales of cotton and 100 bushels of wheat Mai Ellis, who resides near Camden, had pen full of cotton set fire to and consumed There are some persons about Camden who appear to be fond of fire. If caught they should have taste of 1t. If we are not mistaken the city has been fired several times.

Ex- It will be well for our citizens to closely examine all travelling negroes who profess to be free and leaving the State- It is strongly suspected that some of these free gentry will endeavor to entice away slaves; and it may be that slaves will en- deavor to escape by representing themselves to be free.

~ The Independent Balance, speak

Eg- The Independent Balance, speak ing of us, says "Mene, meme, tckel uphar- sin," which, we are told, means ''Thou art weighed in the Balance and found want ing" We are heartily glad of It, because in that balance we have seen democrats. from the President down, weighed time and again, and the result was declared the same We have grown suspicious of those scales and have seen know nothing bub bic or anempty humbug, weigh down prin- ciple, integrity and other weighty things. There is something wrong in the weights or the scales, so that democracy and the democrats cannot get fair showing, and the editor may truly say:
 "When self the wavering Balance holds
 'Tis rarely right adjusted"
