Said if there were any True Demo- crat men present he would tell them that Ns-1- they could vote for him that Dlck, although abusing him, said that they were left free to choose between himself and Dr. MITCHELL and that he was happy to inform them that Dick had given them permission to vote for him, and Ii Dick should get after them just draw the True Democrat on him-the very number Tn which he denounced him (GANTT) as disorganizer.
 He thoroughly exposed the trickery and fraud of the State Convention said he could not rally under that little shirt-tall banner of Dick Johnson's, with fraud and forgery written upon It; that ne fought under the great banner of congressional protection, endorsed by seventeen States i; that that was his banner, and that his principles were those of the majority platform, endorsed by seventeen States :; while his opponent rallied under Dick Johnson's little, dirty banner, and his principles were Dick Johnson and Gov. Con-a-way.
 Col G. closed his address of an hour and half amid deafening applause. Dr. MITCHELL rose to reply, and labored hard for thirty minutes to counteract the effect of Col. G's speech. His reply was lis- tened to with considerable patience, but the contrast, both in person and political sentiment, was too great. The crowd was on GANTr's side, and though the Dr. labored hard he didn't get 'ary wave ; and closed his remarks in perfect "dead eddy" CAN'T had every thing his owr way, and it was most glorious triumph.

MASONIC CELEBRATIoN-JUDGE ENGLIsH's ADDRESS, &c.-The Anniversary of St. John the Baptist was celebrated by White River Lodge, No. 37, on Saturday last. A process sion was formed at the Lodge, and after marching around square, proceeded to a grove near by to install their new officers and listen to an address from Chief Justice E H. ENGLISH. A very respectable crowd had assembled, large number of ladies being in attendance. The number present would have been greatly augmented had a programme of the proceedings of the day been published.- This, however, was entirely neglected, and many of our own citizens were at a loss as to the order of the day. We are of opinion that the committee who had charge of this matter, are entitled to be chased among those who sometimes ''hide their light under bushel."
 Judge ENGLIsH's address was listened to with marked attention. He deIineated the great principles of Masonry, showing it's ben efcial effects on individuals, communities and nations, Upon the subject of education he rivetted the attention of his audience, and demonstrated that ignorance was more to be dreaded than war, pestilence or famine. His address, throughout, exhibited marked and unmistakable ability; and would have been entirely worthy of the occasion, had he not branched off in "U Union saving" declama- tion. This we were sorry to hear.
 According to the learned Judges argument, there are no circumstances that would justify dissolution of the Union. This we do not believe. If the North should oppress the South, as did the mother country the colonies, there would be just reason for a dissolution on the part of the South; and that political events, for the past twenty years at least have tended to oppress the South, no one who is at all versed in the history of the country will deny. Judge ENGLISH is for "saving the Union" under all circumstances. The Black Republicans contend that the Union can only be saved by the Abolition of sla- very
 We are for the Union under the Constitu- tion, and when that time-honored instrument shall be construed so as to abolish the institu- tion of slavery, then we are for severance of the "political bands" which unite us with the non-slaveholding States.
 If Judge ENGLIsH's argument proved any thing, it demonstrated that the Old Thirteen States were wrong in severing themselves from the mother country. This doctrine win not stand the test; the Declaration of Inde- pendence is a full and conclusive answer to all such arguments. We believe in THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PEoPLE-THE RIGHTS OF THE STATES, AND LIGHT AND SIMPLE

THE STATE CONVENTION.

There never was a fairer convention than the State convention that nominated k. Il. Johnson, yet we find papers and would be lead CTS of the democratic party, repudlatlng thelr own action.-I Parallel.
 We differ with the Parallel, and assert that the State Convention was not far, and that there rests upon the party no binding obligation to support It's nominee. In proof of this assertion, we cite the vote of Van Buren and Benton Counties m the Convention. That the vote of Van Buren was cast by means of forged papers, even the friends of MT. Johnson do not deny; and that the vote of Benton was cast In al. rect opposition to the plainly expressed will of a majority of her voters, IS also be- yond the shadow of doubt.
 A correspondent the Parallel in speak ing of the discussion at Little Rock, be- tween the candidates for Governor, say: that MT. Johnson " showed that leaving out the counties of Benton and Van Buren he was still far ahead of his competitors 1T the regular vote of the convention"
 Taking the vote of 1856 as a basis, lei us examlne into this matter little, and see if MT. Johnson was really" far ahead of his competitors after throwing out the two counties fraudently cast for him. He received his nomioation by the vote of the following counties:
 Ashley, 3SO; Benton, 971 {; Clark, 719 O. umbia, 597, Greene, 562; Hampstead, 653 lzard, 7O2; Johnson, 6S7 Lafayette, 154 Lawrence, g16; Monroe, 3O9; Montgomery 405; Ouachita, I'll, Perry, 193; Pulaski, 468 St. Francis, 630; Union, 6S6; Van Buren, 455 Washington, ITS; Yell, 555-making tota vote of 13,465.

AgJle Cure,

H0h THE 6kLEnx uUHB oF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever aud Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, on Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
Cor the whole class of diseases 0rigi-
mating In hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.
Ne one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities Of the American people than q sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with O perfect
certainty that it viii eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure. for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this balefnl distemper. This "CuRR" expels
the niasmatic poison of FEVER AND AauE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, If taken on the first APP
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever vet discovered
for this class of complaints. but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar hr4ngs it within the reach Of every
body; and IN bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AGuR prevails, every body should have IL
and use il freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all--the poor "a well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of mtermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache
Blindness, Toothache. Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Election OF the
Spleen, Mysteries, IN II the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Ders.ngemcnt Of the Stomach,
al of which, when originating II this cause,
put ON the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This CvRE e1pcls the poison rom
the blood and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing In the malarious districts. Ii taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the In
fection that will be excrctcd from the systern
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
10 ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from lnterlnittents, If they avail
themselves Of the prasecti-~ H. .es.-a'y af-
fords.
