COMMENCEMENT OF Sr JoHN's COLLEGE. We had the pleasure of attending last night the first commencement of this four ishing institution. The anniversary speech before the Jefferson Literary Society was delivered by Mir. Tom Newton of this place, and was quite happy effort. He was fol- lowed by MT. Thompson, president of the institution, in defence of the cause of thor ough education. The occasion passed off pleasantly and raised expectation and hope of glorious future for the embryo college in our midst.

 Mr. Peek, 1 have this to say, that the insinuation is untrue, unjust and designed for an evil effect am my own candidate, brought out from my honest convictions of duty to my country, to battle against arro- gance and dictation. 1 consulted no man, political friend or foe--I have never in life spoken to member of the J Johnson family and would not know Col R. H. Johnson if 1 were to meet him.
 Iwish you to distinctly understand that I am not like you, subject to be used as a tool, mean 1oimp, that would defle him. self for the qualification of another. l find all the toadies of Col. Hindman have caught the suggestion and are yelping 1t all over the country. I suppose they are prompted by the principle of judging others by them selves, because they act as the willing tools of others, they suppose, that l may be actu- ated by the same motive. Such is not the fact, no democrat ever solicited me to be- come candidate, yet expect and know l will be heartily supported by conservative and thinking men of all parties. have no dynasty to establish, or oligarchy to build up. 1 am not like my opponent crying thief, to call the attention of the unsuspect- ing, in order to get my own hand in their pockets.

 against post masters, generally, an innocent and accommodating set of gentlemen, be- cause they stop the Old Line Democrat on its winged course, lest it may demolish their favprite, Col R. H. Johnson, and strike down the "throne of the Bourbons!' Complacent vanity! Did ever an editor have such all exalted opinion of his own in- vincibility? We will say in behalf of country post masters that their salary is generally small, and that it is frequently an accommodation to the community to get responsible men to fill the offices. The wholesale abuse of such men is the mini mum of meanness when every one can see that it is gotten up on the principle of Sum- ner-"pease kick me so that I can tell it in Gath and proclaim it in Askalon-will not some gentleman kick me into respecta bility, and awaken sympathy in behalf of the dropping disorganizing course with which the very existence of the Old Line Democrat is blended?" If it is any accom- modation neighbor, you can envelope the True and Old Line together, and send them out to the country. Or do you fear that the Old Line is so addicted to lying that it would quit the embrace of truth to lie on the road?
 But we are ashamed of our neighbour The weakness of his course makes him des perate. But the pillar of his strength is gone. A great many of Hindman's warm est friends support Col. Johnson and are determined to heal the warfare in the party. This is the source of all his woe We of fer a premium for one noble or manly thought in the last issue of the Old Line Capt. Danley to act as umpire.

Questions to be Answered-.--Ol Line
 Democrat.

"Was not Elias N. Conway censured by the legislature of Arkansas for attempting improperly to make the State pay for the printing of blank auditors deeds to donation lands!"
 He was not censured by the legislature but Henry NJ. Rector carried into the legs- lature his personal animosity to Gov. Con- way, and smuggled through the senate a bill disagreeing with Conway on this point. Since then Conway has been elected by a popular majority of 12,000 votes-a very just rebuke to the petty malice of his ssailants.
 "Was not Elias N. Conway the father of the original donation law and under that law, could not person take up as many tracts as he pleased
 By referring to the journals you can see who introduced the donation bill. Under it one person could not take up as much as he pleased The law accomplished much good-many poor men were thereby furnished with comfortable homes. Nearly one half of Prairie county was settled in this way. What do our friends over there think of the sneers of the Old Line Demo- crat? The intention of the bill was noble it might have been abused in some in stances
 Did not the Auditor receive under that law one dollar for each tract donated?
 Ought not the Auditor to have himself paid for the printing of the blank donation deedsl
 Does the present Auditor do so?''
 The quib5les in regard to the Auditors pay we answer generally in the negotiue. The labor alluded to was ert0-something he was not paid to do by his salary-it was greatly to the benefit of the State, and he was and should have been paid for it.. The duties of his office are plain. The State must furnish him Wonks or clerks- the former is cheapest. For answers to other questions we refer you to the records. Whoever denied that Johnson & Yerkes had been public printers since 1852, and were paid for their labor?

Editorial Courtesy.

Our readers will bear in mind that we have held out to the Old Line Democrat the olive branch; that we have proposed to agree upon some fixed code of editorial eti uuette, and to unite with the press in an effort to restore kind feelings, and more general prevalence of amity. The com plaints that we have heaped "coarse abuse" on our neighbor, that we have been inoppor- tune in our attacks, etc., are simply rldicu- lous. We are now in heated canvass, and now, if ever, we must criticise the political views'of our cotemporary with the scathing force of truth, and we have done no more. The editor of the Old Line Democrat is cer- tainly getting very dignjfed, hear him in his issue of this morning:
 "We therefore respectfully decline to second their call for an editorial convention, or to enter into any other agreement with them that would commit to the recognition of their claims to a position of social equality with us.'
 We pity your vanity! We do not desire to descend to the level of your social posi- ton. We are on an equality with all Lonest men, and we do not seek lower circle of acquaintances. The editor ot the Old Line Democrat is attempting to play Hindman on an exceedingly smaN scale, but we have the same contempt for h's Ches- terfeld that we have for the milk and acater intuition.

History of some of the unsolicited Calls
 We make the following extract from a letter from Camden Comment is unneces-
CAMDEN, Arks., June %, 1S60

Immediately after the nomination of Col R. H. Johnson there was letter re- ceived at this office by an antiJ ohnson democrat from one of the Old Line tribe requesting, urging and begging him to get upa call, or some little manifestation of that sort, as 1t would be too barefaced for them to put forward a cand date in opposition to the regular nominee, without some excuse; and stating that Judge Rector would an nounce himself, provided they would do this. In accordance to this behest from the throne the disorganizes drew up 'cal'' and placed it in the hands of boy-one who is yet minor and not entitled to a rote, to solicit signers And such signers. l wish had copy with me, and you by my side, that l might explain. Some of the names are forged others there are no such parties living in this countrywide the remainder with few exceptions 3 or are composed of umaturalized citizens and some of whom have only been here a few days. TAese are tacts- IsawMe letter and you are welcome to make what use of them you may see proper. While l do not care to have my name figure in this affair, unless necessary, 1 will whenever called on prope them.
