 BREcRINRIDGE AND LANE CLUB.--A Breckinridge and Lane Club, for White River township was formed on Thursday evening last. Col. w. W. WAIn was se- lected Chairman, and D. w. MuSRoE appointed Secretary. The Club adjourn ed until Saturday evening last.
 On Saturday evening the Club met &C., cording to appointment After transact ing their business, Col. T. c. HINpMAN, by request, made one of the most stirring and patriotic addresses which we have heard for years. He traced the history of parties from the days of Jefferson down to the present time. and showed beyond doubt that the opponents of BREcKIN- RIDGE & LANE were the same class of politicians who have ever opposed the De mocracy-that it was the duty of the True men of the country to array themselves un- mistakeably against those who would bar ter our dearest rights under the Constitu- tion for the sake of place and potcer.
 Col. HINDMAN was followed by Capt D. McCREERy, Col. R. s. CAN'T and VIM. T, JoNEs. Esq, in pertinent and cheering addresses 10 the Democracy.

BELL AND EVERETT PoLE.-The Bel and Everett men erected pole in Des Arc last Friday, on which they have hung a streamer, and flag bearing the names of their candidates, (except Douglas and Johnson.) From the "hearty manner with which they cheered Col. Rusr, on Saturday, it is natural to presume that they neglected part of their ticket. When Col. HINDmAN adverted to their "crooked thing" they raised loud cry for Bell and Everett, and lost. for several minutes, what little political manners they ever had, Col. HlNDMAN administered a slight re- proof by way of showing them that MT. Bell had once been in favor of aboishing slavery in the District of Columbia, which some of them didn't recover from until late Saturday night.

 RusT AND HINDmAN AT DEs ARC On Saturday last these two gentlemen ad- dressed large audience, in accordance with previous appointment. Col. Rus1 led off in speech of one and halfhours in which he endeavored to sustain Mir. Douglas and his Squatter Sovereignty doc trines. The Colonel Is man of fine ap- pearance, and received, as he deserved, the sympathy of the crowd, who Cat least the Democratic portion of iD regretted to find him so far astray from the Democratic fold.a e
 Col. HrNpmAN's rejoinder was not only able, but convincing. He showed that Col. Rusr's positions were an,agonistical to the Democratic party and the South. The frequent interruptions by Col. Rusr were enough to convince the most skepti- cal that Col HINpMAN was more than a match for his competitor, not only in ar gument, but in all that constitutes popu- lar declainer and close discerner of the true interests of the country. We had in- tended to present our readers with an ab- straet of the arguments presented on the occasion, but ill-health has prevented us from doing so. We have in reserve faithful exposition of their positions, and shall, at an early day, present them to our readers.
 There were but few Douglas men pres- ent--say five--and the applause Col. RUST received was from the Bell and Everett men, who are ready to seize upon any that presents itself, to show their dislike to the principles and policy of the Democratic party. Even yet, these worshippers at the shrine of Bell and Ev- erett give Col. RUST position superior to that of Col. HIxDMAN in the discussion last Saturday. The honest masses say differently. They are more than satisfied with Col HINDMAN. He held aloft, far above that of his colleague in Congress, he claims of BREcKrNRIDoE and LANE ,ver all others, and by his superior elo- luence and argument, Jeff the impression bat although Col Rusr was a gentleman # genial nature and kindly intentions, ret his political dogmas were incorrect, md the masses would so decide in Novem- ,er next.

RECTOR, HINDMAN AND
 GANTT IL! I

Thrones before have trembled with the upheaving of the mighty masses. Dynas- ties of other days and ether lands have learned how feeble was the power of their petty combination when peoples majes- ty has been offended. In instructive ages past, the naughty patrician has known what it was to tremble before the frown of tribunes of the people.
 The lesson has been again forgotten. "Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad"
 The graceless "plowboy,' the derided Judge, has triumphed over the combined power of money, kindred, place and fac lion. se Cesar had his Brutus; Charles the First had his Cromwell, and Johnson-has met his Rector "Cincinnatus" has been call ed from his Saline farm to be the Cover nor of Arkansas.
 Hindman is our Representative from the first district.
 An honest people have chosen the veil- ed prophet of Khorassan to represent them
  in Congress. The "bully and impostor" is sustained by the people. Who says there is no providence in the affairs of men. Can't is our Representative from the second district. The young man who couldn't get the support of cabal, who, by that cabal, was denied hisrightful nom- ination of convention, has been nomina- ted by the BALLoT-Box. The road to the BREASTS of THE MASSES is surer than the road to Little Rock. Hurrah for the BAL Lor-nox and the institutions of Democra- cy!
 In the shadow of the very throne, in our own county, unbought freemen have cho- sen to exercise their preferences and shown that princes have TO rights as prin- ces in land ofliberty.
 The sceptre has departed from Judea! Horse, foot and dragons! Napoleon was not more signally defeated at Water loo. aa ae. It will need no Helena to secure their punishment.
 Salt River is distance and retirement enough.

Is JOHN BELL SouSD?-The Atlanta American asks this question, and the op- position papers generally re-echo it. In answer, we beg to say that, up to this time, every effort to produce sound from the Tennessee Bell has proved unavailing. IL is as silent as bell without a clapper, especially when any effort is made to ring 1t by Southern men, who desire to know where il stands on the great issue of the day. It should be a consolation, however, to Bell and Everett men, to know that their organs are determined to make up for the silence of lbeir candidate, and are al sound and nothing else. o 5.ae

 PRENT1cE's OPINION OF BREcKINRIDGE. MT. Prentice wrote the following about Breckinridge, when he was member of Congress:
 We ascribe nothing of corruption or dishonor to Breckinridge himself We be- lieve him to be conscientious and hono- rable as well as a most able man. We have been half afraid, during the canvass, to express fully our opinion of him, lest our Whig friends in his district and else- where might deem it untrue to the interest of our party Paragraphs written by us some months ago in relation to Mir. Breck- inridge have been kept at the heads of his newspaper organs throughout the conflict, and we can, and do, emphatically re-as- sert every word of these paragraphs. MT. Breckinridge IS pure and noble-hearted man and liberal minded politician; he has earned and won, at home and at Washington, as high reputation for tal- ents as belongs to any man of his age in the United States. We do not know of any gentleman we would rather see in Congress, and if he lived in Locofoco district, Linn Boyd's, for instance, we should sincerely rejoice in his election.
 'The Hon. John c. Breckinridge, in a letter to his constituents, declines a re- election to Congress. He will be much missed in that body. His great urbanity, his perfect fairness, and his powerful tal- ents made him one of the very foremost of its master spirits. He has a national rep utation, and nobly has he won it.

You'll destroy the Union.

Every day we are told by the Union croakers, says the Memphis Avalanche :; that if we insist on our constitutional rights, we will destroy the Union, the glo- rious Union! In 1776 the Torres said to advocate the principles of the Declara- ton of Independence, would have a ten dency to divide the Union of His Majesty King George III. Our fathers thought the preservation of His Majesty's I" Glorl ous Union" was not worth the sacrifice oi honor required, and hence they destroyed the Union. They hung c .feD 1orles, and nobody planes them they had one Ar hold, who at first approved ot the action of the seceders, and afterwards betrayed them. Shall we be more fortunate than our ancestors? If adherence to right brings on dissolution of the Union, who will be to blame? Who are the aggressors! Do we of the South propose to deprlve the North of any right? No! We only ask to be let alone.
 We only ask to be governed by the law and the constitution. If by man. taning the right, if by defending our h. berties, we will divide the Union, then in Gods name, "et the Union slide."' No doubt we shall have Tories in our midst who will declare 'the aspect Of affairs ominous of trouble and injury to the good people of these States" and who "consld- CT it incumbent on those who are Tn favor of the perpetuity of the institution of the Government, Submission to wrongs) the integrity (public plunder) power and au- !hority (the election of Douglas, and the triumph of squatterdom), of the Demo- cratic party, to meet in their respective counties, &c." We must defend our rights at every hazard; and not wait for unanim-
 ty in public sentiment. These Union savers are the worst enemies of the Re- public. Their craven cowardice, or what
 is worse, the desertion of their own homes and firesides is an invitation to future ag- gressions, outrages and insults. But for a fear of dissolution of the Union, FREMONT would today be President of the United States, and whenever these Union shrlek- CTS succeed in convincing the North that the South will submit to any outrage upon her constitutional rights-and that she can not be kicked out of the Union, that mo- ment will the spirit of fanaticism extend it's aggressions.- Montgomery, Alabama, Mail, opposition paper
