giveness,' no hayward frauds to be ex- posed, no Patterson letters respectfully submitted to the consideration of the sec retary of the navy yard indorsed J. B, no Jones' U send to Austria, no Florences to cry for federal aid. Our leaders have committed grave errors, and we see no reme- dy but to strike them down as weighed and found wanting, unworthy servants un. der whose control the democratic focks have been allowed to scatter, and are now at the mercy of the opposition wolves Then we say in so far as they have erred let them Jour leaders, be held responsible, let not the blame fall upon the proud party of Jefferson, let the erring bear the shame of their errors. From the Tallyrand like Douglas, down to the most despicable lit tie per diem taker in Arkansas let the democracy of the nation ignore the former and we preiict that our party in this State will lash the latter, their friends and sym pathisers o1nd this State with lash of scorpions We have no charity for the destroyers of our peace, we cannot. we will not shield them, for in democratic virtue and honor. consists democratic strength, and it is the duty of every democrat to re- buke political sins, whether found in the rank and file or among the exclusive and self constituted old lines. Let democrat ic hands be washed of impurities, and let new men when the new are needed go forth and teach the pure doctrines of other days, and again victory will come to our eagles and God to our cause.
 We have always been democrat, we have labored in the cause of our party till age and hoary hairs are ours. In the contest Of o6 when the party prescription stood before us Tn the great and fallen Sam, we stood firm. Our columns dealt out the clean strained essence of pure Jeherso- nian principles, and victory crowned our cause at home. Our excellent Governor Conway received handsome majority in onr county as did our other nomineeS.- We have never wavered, and now ak the democracy of this portion of the State to stand by us, for with strong hand and consciousness of right we intend rebnkine error, regardless of men high in station, regardless of blending prescription and tear fiji entreaty, we will give credit where credit IS due, and unto Caesar the things that are Caesars without fear hope of fla vor, affection or reward, believing that in so do ng we will advance the true interests of the party and of the democratic masses, whose welfare Is ours, who are right in all things, and as firm anl true to the national and s'ate interests as is God to truth and

voted the ticket, subscribed to, advocated and defended democratic principles-the dictator has laid 1t down that once whig always whig-once know nothing, al- ways a know nothing. Thus, with "one fell swoop" he unchurches the whole army of pizerinctums and banishes, forever, all the old line whigs. Worse and worse, he breaks up President Buchanan's cabinet; for old whigs are there. The democratic representatives and senators from Louisi- ana, Florida, Missouri and nearly all of the southern states, are incontnently driv- en off, for they too were once whigs and some of them know nothings. The doors of the dem ocratic temple are closed, and those not born democrats are excluded What will the thousands of good and true demo- crats in this State who were seduced into know nottingham, say to this? How are our old line whigs who have joined and worked manfully for the democratic party to be disposed of?
 Seriously, is it not lamentable that grown men should come before community and pretend to be so afraid of the position of one man in this State, as to give 1t as reason for the establishment of raper?- Is it not ridiculous to see selfinhated scrub politician gravely reading out of the democratic party, in one sentence, ten thou sand better men than he? Bah! the thing is so absurd as to provoke contempt Away with such reasons Not a man in the State will be so utterly devoid If sense as to believe such stuff. Out with it. Tell the people at once that the Old Line Democrat is to be the organ of T. c. Hnd- man; that it is to defend him in his attempt to strike down the best men in the party; that it is to defend the taking of per diem pay during the recess; that it is got up to war upon the True Democrat, no matter by whom edited; that it will lenounce every | democrat who will not obey it's master and welcome all, whether democrat or know nothing, whig or pizerinctum who will give in their allegiance. Be honest This stuff about " family and "ex-whigs" humbugs nobody. Let it be known that it is one of the shifts of bankrupt politi- elan to get capital to flourish awhile on.-- Tell the truth and shame the devil for once, and not attempt to insult and out rage the intelligence of the people of Ar kansas by telling them that because the junior editor of this paper five years ago opposed democracy, it is necessary to start another paper. The fools to be caught with such silly stuff will not be worth catching. The rank and file of democracy have as much good sense and judgment as these would. be masters Its al mis- take to suppose they believe any suCh gam

Hew.. wLi,, for ten years, in county stropc. ly democratic, and when he joined the de. mocratic party did so in good faith because he saw or thought he saw in the principles of the democratic party those only onwhicb a southron could rest. His present posi. tion was taken and is held without sacr;. flee ot principle, and the only requirement made of him, was to edo what Is right and leave the consequences to God and to the people," And he has done what he con- ceived to be right Disposed to avoid all political squabbles, he sought to call attcn- tion to the vast resources of Arkansas; he endeavored to advance the cause ofeducation and agricultural interests; he has, with what ability he may possess, stood ready to vim dlcate the fair name of our State from the
 
 foul asparsions cast on her, and to encourage a feeling of State pride The miserable houndeungs of a desperate politician, he viewed as he would the coatortions of a dylng cat, wondering that so much vitality should exist In an animal so long after re- celvlng its death stroke Had he not been foully abused and dragged into the contest, he would have left these differences to be settled by others. But he has been singled out named and made party to this affair. lhls being the case, he takes this occasion 'N say to the editors present and nrosnactiva ot the State Rights Democrat and old Line Democrat, that they may yet find they have singled out the wrong man. Without any pretensions to skill in combat he feels con. tident that in contest of this kind he has nothing to fear.
 '' Thrice is he armed, who hatl his quarrel just"
 The editor of the S. R. D., has promised not to get mad but thinks it likely we may provoke his mirth. We promise to make him laugh till the tears shall come into his eyes-to cachnate till his face is wrinkled and let him be careful that he does not Iangh on the wrong side of his mouth.- We have some excellent jokes in store--a feast of fat things to spread before him droIIerles that will make him scream with delight and witticisms whose point he shall keenly feel.

~ The editor of the State Rights Do

R The editor of the State Rights De- mocrat, after quoting our notice of his en- trance into the editorial ranks, with min gled pathos and indignation, asks if the devil would have been shabby enough to have penned such a notice. We can tell him no. That illustrious parsonage would have given him -top-frst rate-devil- fish good notice, or else there is no truth in the old adage.

 Another andno doubt more efactud plan is to shoot them. Put the usual loading of powder into muslet CT fowling piece, but no shot or even wadding. If, however, wad is used. it must be very light one.- Then shoot, with the limbs of the tree, and the caterpilars will drop dead. A few dis charges of powder will clear tree.

 EDIToRs ARKANsiAN. - Thinking maybe you would like to hear little piece of news; our town was thrown into grelt excitement cn last Monday. The mayor of our city, Samuel Blair, was sold to Mr. Pick ns Benge, which created an awful excite ment during the day They took him down south where all the darkies go.
 Yours in haste, CHEROKEE"
 From the Van Buren Press we learn that the hog cholera prevails in that section, some farmers losing from fity to seventy five hogs. J. H. Haney, engineer of the L. R. & F. S. R. R. Co.,, commenced the locating survey of the road on the 18th inst. The following is from the Camden State Rg ts Eagle:
 "BL.cK ToNGUE.-We are in rormei that ,h;s malad' is proving fatal in mtny portion, of the surrounding country to cattle and deer In Cal hour county numbers of deer are found dead and cate are suffering considerably. In some por ols of this county also cattle and deer have been afected.

 The Jefferson Independent is lucky on the SCOT. of contributors. It publishes an originalpoem from the pen of Mrs. Annie Ketchun, the editress of the Lotus,' a magazile 1t was never our gool fortune to sec. The editor says that the cup of his unhapIiness and the saucer of his misery have een made to overflow by the allu- sions II his ginger cake eating propensities. Even ehool girls make it the theme of competitions. In "'Twas ever thus from uildhood's hour" strain, he thus ex- claims

 "Our Future Course. ain we call the attention of onr q friends to the subject of union )ny in our ranks, and assert that

Again we call the attention of Onr demo. cratic friends to the subject of union and harmony in our ranks, and assert that these qualities are the secrets of our former tri- umphs, and lasting existence as a great na- tional party.
 Never more than at the present crisis have we been called upon to act in union for the common good. Dangers are beset- ting us on every side; at the north the black republican party which has been constantly increasing, and which is now flushed with the spies of the State offices, in the populous States of New York, Ohio all new England, and those of the extreme north west, now present firm and fear ful front, and its only opponent is the de. mocratic party whose ranks are fearfullv thinned by desertion and defeats. By the sectional character our party las assumed at the south, and by the enlargement of party leaders, ambitious men, whose ma chinations have well nigh routed us even in Virginia, our democratic Gibralter.- These are solemn and striking facts, suffi- cently ominous to make the most confi- dent tremble, to cause the most sanguine to
 
 fear
 At the south we have little if any better prospect before us. The opposition are making powerful effort to wrnst from us the control of the southern States, and to crush us out as party Their leaders in the language of the Memphis Appeal, Ca sterling and unflinching democratic iour- nal, have abandoned all hopes of forming such frsi.n of parties as can effect sue cess in the next Presidential election.- They fail to respond to the overtues of Greeley. Lincoln and Seward they aban doned the fortunes of Bell of Tennessee. in order that they may stand chance to se- cure some part in the loral distribution of offices in the southern States. And the re- suit of this change of policy is manifested in the large gains of the opposition in Vir- ginia, and in the fearful struggle they are now making in Tennessee and Kentucky, in fact the southern opposition is becoming ultra southern, the northern ultra-north- ern on the vital question of slavery, and against these parties is democracy arrayed. We do not fear the result if harmony can be restored in our distrated councils, if Douglas and his conferees can either be sloughed of, or brought back to the old democratic fold; if Johnson, Mason, Hun- ter and Breckenridge of the south cease their suicidal action. Otherwise we do, we must fear, we must tremble for our ex- istence as national party. Would to God it were otherwise, and that we might Ovrv lxNi,< <y brethren acting as one man for the common good. Then there would be no Letcbers run to the throat latch, no Faulkners beaten in the gallant State where repose the ashes of Jefferson, no Caskie's over slaughed, no Montague's to declare with up-lifted hand, l voted for Buchanan. but ask Gods for

T- We commend the following arti- cle from the Van Buren Intelligemer, to the consideration of every democrat in Ar kansas. While we dissent in part, from the views expressed in regard to the ad ministration, we can afford to do so in view of the admirable tone of the whole article That Mir. Buchanan's adminstra- ton has fallen short in some things may be true, but in many others it has stool by the south and carried out the prime ples laid down at Cincinnati. Nor will we join the opposition in its attacks upon such men as Secretary Floyd, who is as pure man as can be found in political life. If the rays of the setting sun grow dim, let us not forget that it gave us light and heat during the day. Those who hold the balances in which our leaders are weighed. should see that no false weights are thrown in the scale. A fuller anl broader rc og- niton of the rights of natu-alizel citizens: the enunciation of the doctrine that ale glance and the right of pro'cc ion crcry- mhere go together would have left but little room for reproach.
 Again. we do not think th' rrproachful term of " suicidaI' is properly aprliel to the couse of such men as Hunter and Breckenridge.
 One thing is certain: those who seek to divide inc party at this iuncture, whether it be :" the little giant" of Illinois, or his calieature in Arkansas. must be slouGhed of; or excised at once.
 The interests of the democratic party are of more importance than the fate of thou sands of these little agitating, pe5titerous pOliticians:

 Whatever the relsions may be between him and his Creatol he does not deem this proper place to hention them. As to being hater of hl kind, on the contrary he does not know ola single human being in the world whomhe hates. Like Abou Ben Hassan, if not he who is blest by the love of God, he asls to be written as one who loves his fend7 men. There are a few whom he cannot respect; few whom he pities, but none Wlom he hates.
