Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-06-02

party is split up. A few disaffected demo- crats, aided by the cohesion of all other parties opposed to democracy, have done 1t and sooner or later will have to repent in sack-cloth and ashes.
 In their first resolution they say, i've the democrats of Benton county,'' etc. An, yes, how we apples swim Let them give the names on that list, and we will satisfy all, that about one half never breathed democratic breath in their lives.
 The second resolution is that they re- affirm the action of their mass meetlng.- Be 1t remembered their mass meeting was to be absolute and final. And further, there was not above about twenty persons, out of any of the townships except Osage and Anderson alias Smith's Mill who took part in the meeting. The true democracy had by printed handbills given full and fair notice, in each township, that on the 18th day of February, 1860, the,democracy would hold mass meeting for the purpose of organizing the party by requesting each township in the county to send up dele gates equal to the number of justices oi the peace, to convention at time to be nam ed by said meeting. Then you see there was two separate calls for different purposes. Proclamation was made at the court house by the true democracy, explanatory ot the call. Then whose meeting was 1t the old liners or the organizers? What right had Doak, the Osage Miller, Quarles and Doug las to thrust themselves on a meeting Tn which they had no right. Howard did move that Haley Jackson take the chair. They say he was attempted to be forced upon the convention, to whom he was not acceptable. Oh, shame, where is thy blush! H. Jackson has been twice elected in Osage township by larger vote than any man ever got there before. This is cool then, interfering and complaining when 1t was not an old line meeting?
 The rest of the resolutions are tirade of abuse of R. H. Johnson, the worthy, competent and acceptable nominee for Go vernon, who will be triumphantly elected in Benton. This same party of old liners and their alliances, oppose every thing, and call 1t corrupt, unless they are in the ascen- dency-then all is as pure as snow. The people are getting their eyes open to these things and their wire workers will find 1t out next August.
 Before we close this article we must say word or two about that old line mass meeting on the 18th of February. Some of the laudations say that there were l ,0OO persons, all for Hindman, except about 36; others say 300. That's q falling snake" we think; and when they fall another half, they will be still nearer the right amount. We suppose that there was from 300. to 500-not more, in town that day After long and loud calling for the Hindman men to fall into line to be counted. between 70 and so persons went into the lines A crowd was standing round, looking at the fun, but could not be induced to enter the lines. Now, were they for Hindman, just because they chose to look on and refused to take part in it? We think not. Now, this number of men were all that stepped into line, as many good old substantial citi- zens, will bear witness, who counted all who were in the lines formed, and not the spectators who refused to take any part in it.
