G3-" Democracy is democracy-and we suppose the true democracy is that which abides the usages and doctrines of the party."-NationaI Democrat
 We admit the definition; please telfus now if Stephen A. Douglas is democrat when tried by this test? Is it democratic usoae to make war upon democratic ad- ministration? Is it democratic usaye for one man-and that man an aspirant-to lay down in advance the platform, and the only platform, on which he will stand; and to arrogate to himself the right of deciding the constitutional rights of fifteen States without consulting with them? Is it de- mocratic usage to collude with black repub- licans to bring the democratic party into disrepute by means of Covodo committee, in order to hold out to the world Douglas as the only pure man in the party sien these questions are answered we whkinter- rogate our neighbor as to the doctrine of the aforesaid Stephen.

rw- While it (the True Democrat was thunder inc ifs anathemas against all who dared oppose the claims of Mir. Johnson in the southern district, IL was rendering all the aid and comfort in it's power to Cypert in the northern district, thus lighting the fires of Reorganization more bigntinS ana with9f ing to the democratic party in this State than the treason of Douglas. But doubtless those who have colluded with their enemies have weighed this matter and deliberately carried out thelr dlaboh- cal plan. That they will undergo rigid scrutiny and receive just condemnation at the hands of the | true democracy cannot be questioned, and Tn the future a line of dem0rcation Shoud De drdpn, as signing them to their political friends the know nothings and the Douglastes.-Monticetto Sage.
 To our very unjust contemporary we will say. once for all, that it is exceedingly strange that it re-iterates an electioneering fabrication of the Old Line Democrats at this late day. We did denounce those who opposed Col. R. H. Johnson as disoryan- izers, and the facts bear us out in this as- sertion. This is a selfevident proposition. On this account, and on this account alone, they were encouraged by the know noth- ings. Hundreds of men voted for Rector and Can't upon the ground that they were disorganizing the democratic party. Were | we as dishonest as our detractOrs this plan of the opposition would have succeeded. The true democracy which stood unwaver- ingly by their nominee, R. H. Johnson, ii they were base enough. could throw their snhuencc to Bell or Douglas and hopelessly demoralize the party in Arkansas; but we would scorn to do it, and although defeated in some instances we still work for the good of the party and the State, and if disorganization gets permanent toothold in Arkansas it will not be through our in huence or instrumentality.
 As to Col. Hindman, all that we ever did against him was in self defence. He was supporting Rector, and we denounced him as a disorganizer-a traitor to his own nartv .usages-and we do so still The man who does not see and admit the truth of this charge is either an ignoramus or knave. If we had formed the combination charged of "Johnson's friends, Douglas men and the opposition" it would have been quite easy to have defeated him. We simply did nothing. The consequence was that in some counties they combined against Hindman, and in others they did not There was no concert of action, which would not have been the case had we been intrlgu- ing to defeat Col. Hindman. Why then do our contemporaries continue to retail such silly unsupported charges? Espe- ciallv do such fabrications come with bad grace from papers wishing Breckinrldge and Lane to carry this State. The Bell and Everett men boast that the Rector party has strengthened them 1t least five thousand votes. Let that party, now wenken thom that much by working har- moniously with our democratic friends tor the cause of the constitution and equal rights. In this way they may partially atone for past delinquencies.

r5g@ Notwithstanding the fact that the National Intelligencer represents Mir. Bell as " believing the dogma of popular sovereignty, as applied to the solution of this the terrtoriaD question: to be un sound in point of constitutional law,' the True Democrat makes quotations from the same paper, and from the same article, to prove that Mr. Bell is in favor of non-nterventon, which, according to the present local and political meaning of the term, is synonymous with the popular. or squatter sovereignty of MT. Douglas.-Ark. State GaSete'
 We think our cotemporary IS somewhat mistaken. We showed that Mir. Bells party was committed to "non intervention" but expressly disclaiined any reference to Mir. Bells record. The question of Con gressional protection" in its present shape is new one, and, so far as that question is concerned, Mir. Bell has no record
 The Bell and Everett, and the Douglas partisans, call the Breckinridge party dts unionis,s because southern extremists sup port that ticket. If Mr. Yancey can taint whole party with disunion, please tell us if the Bell and Everett party is not black republican organization by the same species of logic? An exchange asks:
 "Can any honest and impartial enquirer after truth doubt the political complexion ot the conven- tion that nominated Bell and Everett? There rcre certainly tpentyteo aboltonists in that body, who made bold to declare their sentiments n thelr votes. Thirteen uotes were cast for Mclean, of Ohio, who was for long time the favorite of the black gublican party, and who dissented from the Dred Scott decision, by which the Union party now profess to swear. Nine votes were given to Edward Bates, of Missouri, man that everybody thought stood very fair chance for the black republican nomina- ton, and who is thoroughly identified with the party. With these signs upon the record, what do the Bell and Everett men at the South think of their associations?"
 In addition to this the President of the Bell and Everett convention indorses Doug las. The Hon. Emerson Etheridge in recent speech in Indiana advised the Bell men to vote for Lincoln. The Hon. R. w. Thompson of Indiana-the leader of the Bell party in that State, is supporting Lincoln in order to break up the demo- cratic party. We might multiply examples, going to show that the Bell and Everett party, so far as the northern wing extends = strongly abolitionized and thoroughly boaglasized, but the mere fact that Mclean knd Bates, two prominent aspirants in the Bell and Everett disunion party are aboli- tionists, is enough to condemn it in south ep eyes. Great conservative leaders of the whiig and even the knoao nothing party are now acting with the Breckinridge party this should be sufficient evidence to the members ef Mose organizations that the charge of disunion, as applied to us, is false. We are the only conservative. constitu- tional union men in the United States, and all who wish to preserve the constitution, and to see the laws enforced, should act with us.
