For the Des Arc Citizen.1 HON. T. c. HINDMAN AT sEARCY

c> Ss 4nthhlLi. G.Qs--- Otk - f&t tnc nAtth- odist Church in Searcy, on Wednesday, Aug. 3lst, 1859, being the time appointed by Col. T. c. HrNnmAN, for delivering public ad- dress, large portion of the citizens of the county were in attendance.
 At the hour of II o'clock, Col. HrNpMAN took the stand, and in speech of over two hours length, proceeded to discuss Arkansas politics. He set forth the history of the so- called Democratic Senatorial canvass of Mo- vember 9th, 1858, which nominated W. K. SEBASTIAN for United States Senator, show
 ing in clear manner, that avowed know nothings and disorganizers, were allowed to take in its proceedings part, on perfect equality with democrats. Col. HINpmAN felt it his duty to condemn so nefarious proceed ing. That duty he performed openly and fear lessly. He then discussed the course and plucked the plumage from Gov. CONWAY, in vetoing the Bill to change the Congressional election--in refusing to sign the Bill reducing the rate of State tax, and in unconstitutional ly forcing an adjournment on protesting legislature. He completely exposed the dem- agogueism of the PER DIEM humbug, showing the design of the family to draw off attention from their own false steps.
 Among the whole course of his speech, thunders of applause greeted our eloquent and gallant HrNpMAN. The canvass going on by Col. HlNpmAN in his district seems to be looK- ed upon by the opposition headed by the True Democrat, with intense interest. It is well known that Col. HINpMAN's district only a very few years ago, was redeemed from the thraldom of the party opposing the principles of the democratic party, by HINDMAN him self, while Senator SEBASTIAN and JoHNsoN's voice was nowhere to be heard advocating the democratic party in the State of Arkansas, or elsewhere and it is also known that ever since that occurrence of disenthralment, no effort has been spared by the minority party to give the revolution momentum backward, and the minority party it appears, is to be assisted by the so-called True Democrat. The hard fist ed yeomanry of this district have too much confidence in Col. HrNBMxN's democracy than to be led astray by the plausible and special theory of the disorganizing sheet--the so-call- ed True Democrat.
 The True Democrat, the reckless opposition press, has done much to mislead and de- ceive people of other portions of the State, but nothing can they effect in the way of in- spiriting or intimidating democrats in this State. We have never felt the least alarm, and have everfelt the most implicit confidence in the wisdom and disposition of the people in this district to endorse Jeffersonian, not Dick Johnson democracy, by re-nominating Col. HINDMAN at our next convention to Congress, by an overwhelming majority. -5
 That, however much they may attempt to conceal their feelings in regard to Col. HIND MANS canvass, they fear the worst for the family, not that they are so much devoted to the democratic party, is evident enough to a democrat with one eye, in this district.
 Although majority of the papers in the State, and a host of letter scribblers have for months been writing articles calculated to inspire the so-called True Democrat with hope and confidence, we can tell brother RICHARD that there is no sort Of reason of doubting HINpmAN's success in this district, for he will triumph without doubt, notwith- standing the desperation of the True Demo- crat, whose edict is filling the Democratic party with treason-the family headed by Dick are fighting with the energy of despair. It amounts to nothing. In HINpMAN, we have a champion, able and bold, he is Jeffersoni- an ndemocrat, and nothing in the way of active service on his part will be spared to aid the honored principles of the democratic party of which he is an able defender. Arkansas can boast of no man that has more of the elements of boldness, candor, honesty as public and private man, than Col HINDMAN. He takes no half way ground on any subject, and never consults the True Democrat when to act; but when convinced that measure is right, with out stopping to enquire whether its advocacy would likely result favorably or otherwise up- on his political prospects, takes hold of it boldly and reasons clearly and forcibly.
 Those time-serving politicians, who are afraid to say that their lives are their own, without weighing the propriety of the asser- ton in the scales of seif-interest by consult- ing DIcK JOHNSON, are only worthy of the contempt of every good democrat. They, if occupying high political positions, are dis grace to that position in which they are placed, Arkansas has no need of such men their presence within her limits can only serve to bring contempt upon the cause she has so much at heart. Our State need such men as HrNpmAN; we need bold and strong men--men who have the ability to advocate, the irmness to carry out those measures calculated to ad- vance the interest of the State, and not those supple, cowardly politicians, whose lack of moral courage is only equalled by their selfish disposition. {.
 Political men may be divided into two class es. To the first belong the great souls, who love political justice by serving their constit- uency honestly, and who love politics as the means by which that justice can be done. Of such politicians Arkansas has but few, and she cannot boast of her fair proportion. The second kind of politicians are simply unscru- pulous. They hang upon the outskirts of their party, and prey upon its offals. It is their trade to assist, to protect, and to deliver political renegades, whether justice tri- umphs with them or not. Amongst the great est politicians of the South, Col HINpMAE de- serves title. Whether the True Democrat, with it's milk and cider editors, deserves ti-
