 Ma. EprroR:- :-AImost every one, whs has been long in Arkansas, remembers having seen. about five years ago, car feature entitled, Arkansas as left by heI Political wreckers." Ii represented the State under the Democratic rule, or rather misrule, as being on the verge Of ruin It was foul and infamous islander on the democratic party of this State. and should still bring the blush of shame to the cheeA of the sIanderer, if shame yet has a placs left in his soul. Yet this specimen oi humanity, this infamous slanderes and ,raducer of the Democracy, strange as | might first appear. is introduced into the sanctssas of the s True Democrat "a hlgh priest at the aItar-and now dictates Dens- ocracu from the same foul mouth with which he slandefed the democratic party, only short time since--men whose heads have grown grey in the canse-styhng himself the Junior of this paper.' Hl Is now better democrat than any one else. He now taanss old democrats with sheir bad antecedents, and their wanl of fidelity to the Democracy. He is living illustration of 's Pot calling Kettle black, and that almos. before he has pulled his Know Nothing coat off, and quit their councils. Does he sell many of his old earicasures on democracy now-dayss
 Thus it is, MT. Editor. that this man, who came to this State as an adyentnrer under whig coiors, who fought against democracy as long as the old whlg flag could be seen, and when that was furled forever, he enlisted under the black ban ner of Know Nothingism, and fought the democracy under that until there was not plank left to stand on. Then he sur rendered, and rushed on board the old ship of Democracy, seized the helm, and swore he was the best democrat alive. He then went at his old work again-- slandering Democrats.
 Now, we opine that if the True Dem- ocral" men had that holy horror of Know Nothing--a dead Know Nothing at that-which they pretend to have, they would never have taken this live Know Nothing into their bed with them, and allow him to grind out editorials for them, md in fact to edit the " True Democrat" my more than they would have been taught with lot of Know-Nothings and llsorganizers in that Sunday night caucus, It the Anthony House.
 Who is the Know Nothing, then and who the ally of Know Nolhingsa will venture to answer-Messrs. Johnson & Co. Yet, to the astonishment of all lovers of truth, this mongrel set-.his mixture oi | black spirits and while, blue spirits and the eironiery to style them- selves Democrats. and try to seize for themselves and their friends the offices oi the State. They have the hypocrisy to denounce as Know Nothings and dlsofgan- izers old and tried democrats, who have proved by years of devotion (out of office too, to the Democray, their firm and un- wavering faith in its principles.
 Bu. have they ever told us why these men are disorganizers and Know-Noth- ingss Have they ever told us the first solitary principle of Democracy that they have abandoned, or the first principle thai they have added to their political creed No, solitary one. What principle ot Democracy does Messrs Johnson & Co believe, that these slandered democrats dc not believe and what principle do they believe, but what Messrs Johnson & Co. profess to believe the sames answer not one. How then can il be that Messr: Johnson & Co. are democrats, and these men are Know-Nolhingss Such rslpa. bic bulnbuggery is too threadbare to las moment.
 The truth IS, because honest democrats who regard the public welfare more thar the True Democrats" pockets, are try ing to kick that filthy hotch-potch oi Know No,hings, disorganizers, and DO li,ical pap- suckers. out of office, and pa homes. men in their places, the "Trus Democrat" in it's agony, cries ou, " Dis organizers" With their ideas of Dem ocracy to turn one ofshe Royal Family oa of office. and to disorganize the party. i' one and the same thing, The party vii always be threatened with disorganizatior whenever there is any attempt made ts pu, others in the places they now ill., Such is the "True Democrats" idea oi Reorganization.
 What calamity il will be to disorganlze the Johnson Company out of office .-- Surely Mg. Hindnsn, and those rascally fellows who would moi vote for Sebastian, .l f-...
