Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-06-30

behalf of the faith that was in him. All this WI found him; but we were unprepared for an exhibi tion of that thorough and comprehensive politica knowledge shown by Dr. Mitchell in the discussioi to-day. We had not expected to hear such strains of impassioned. pure manly efforts as thrilled the rheart of every democrat in his hearing. Nor had we anticipated finding him master as he is ol every shaft of wit rony and ridicule which o-day he let fly like hot shot into the fimsy coverings, the paper parapets of Reorganization, demagogue- ism and pretensions with the most deadly effect.
 The "old Arkansas Doctor" came forward with broad, good humored smile, wreathing his big, fine, frank, honest face like flood of mellow sun- shine athwart glorious landscape, and was greeted with loud and prolonged applause by the undehled, unterrted and incorruptible democracy of Drew.
 regret that am not able to give even synop SIS or Dr. Mltche's masterly speech at Monticello to-day, traught as it was throughout with those pure, heathful, constitutional sentiments for which the true democracy of the Union and of the State are battling; and which can never fail to win their way to the favor of the people whenever fairly pre- sented.
 Dr. Mitchell completely exposed the inconsistent cles and corruptions of the disorganizers, utterly demollshlng the mean little charges which Col. Can't had whimpered against him, and clearly showed that the vail of persecution which Can't and his friends have up is altogether simulated He not only vindicated Governor Conway's admir- able policy but showed that Gen. Hemingway and others who are now traducng it were, until their connection with Hndman, it's warmest supporters, and passed deserving commendation on the worth abilities and disnterestedness of Hon. R. w. John- son. The Doctors account of the effort of the dis organizers to break up the family by electing Rector, full cousin of Conway, over Johnson, who is no kin, was mirth provoking in the extreme.
 In noticing the certificates which he, Can't, had read in endeavoring to show that Dr. M. formerly favored squatter sovereignty (and which everybody saw did no such thing) pr. Mitchell commented se verely on the means resorted to in obtaining the tifcates, showing the untarness and improprety of such course in conducting canvass, and stated that while he deprecated the plan Mr. Can't had seen proper to adopt he would so far follow his example as to read certificate which unexpect edly and unasked had been handed him on yester day, as showing Col. GanH's recent opinion on a much disputed and quite exciting question, and then read the certificate of Mir. John Havis, of Bradley county as follows:
 "WARREN, ARK, June 18th, 1860.
 This is to certify that Col. E. w. Can't, when on his way to the Arkadepha convention, called at my house and solicited my support-l being one of the delegates Prevlous to giving my proxy, author Zlng my co-delegates who would be in attendance to cast my vote for Col. E. ". Gantt asked him if he would support Col. R. H. Johnson for Gov ernor? He responded of course 1 will, not to do so would confuse and disorganize the party
 This conversation occurred after the State con- venton at Little Rock in April last. If Col. Can't had not so responded he would not have got my vote.
 (Si.ned) JOHN HAvIS."
 The subscriber of this certificate being we'll known here a man of the staunchest integrity, unspotted honor and unhinching frmness, it fell like a bomb shell among the disorsanizers, whose eyes promise not to lose their dstention and prou- berance in a week, though of course those who will not own that Can't is disorganizer will never own that his pledge to John Havis was a falsehood and fraud.
 Never was victory more complete than that gained by Dr.. Mitchell, the democratic champion of South Arkansas, day. Throughout his speech of one hour and half he was continually inter- rupted by rounds of enthusiastic and deafening ap- pause. He is certainly unsurpassed as political campagner and combines in himself all the quail ifcations of model Congressman, in whose hands the interest the honor of Arkansas will suf- fer. In behalf of the democracy of Drew, who are sure to roll up an overwhelming majority for him next August, thank him for his speech here to- day.
 After Dr. Mitchell closed Col Can't, rose and commenced a repetition of his former vail of per secuton, to which no one would have had the patience to listen had it not been expected that he would at least have met the Havis certificate fairly and squarely, and either denied it fatly owned it frankly. But Tn this in everything else that was proper he completely failed. Though in his efforts to trim between an admission, he had not the honesty, and denial he had not the courage to make, he stated that MT. Havis. did say something to him about supporting Johnson for governor, and that he replied, that he was going in for himself and should not take any part against Johnson, but failed to say whether or not he stated that he deemed t disorganzation to do so. If there was anything lacking to completely overwhelm the dsorganizers here after Dr. Mtchel's speech it supplied by the puerile, cowardly shulling at tempt of Col. Can't to reply.
 Yours, etc., = M.
