Like meteor cleaving through the ele- ments of space, like gleam of the de- scending guillotine, as it sewers from its trunk the head of some deserted Girondist, the red bolt of disunion has rent in twain a once happy and united family; whilst its presaging wrath has startled the most spa- thetic into the widest conSternation and dreaH Fearfully has it performed the mis- sion on which an averaging spirit sent it.; deep and ghastly is the chasm which now se- parates brotherhood whose me-honored principles were consecrated by the blood of our forefathers, but despite the "sldaghter- ed'' victims of this modern Jupiter, we range ourselves on the side of the UNION and invoke the friends of liberty to re-unite on that old and time-honored platform To consummate this glorious object. we have selected the name of Stephen A. Doug las for our next President. t.-Je6erson Lade- pendent

understood that he does not regard me as his 'equal, morally socially or politically" i" This is false--he regards me in no such light, as his constant abuse of me clearly proves; he considers me his peer, or he would not employ large portion of his time in heaping slang and vituperation upon me; and his prudent resolve not to resent insults he has received at my hands, can only be attributed to his utter want of manliness. He shirks responsibility upon the craven's plea of inequality, and yet with the true spirit of malignant, impotent, cowardice, issue by issue is heaping low filthy abuse upon me. Such language leaves no sting, and would affect me quite as mnch if ut tered by the vilest convict in the Peniten- tiary. Mir. Peek's opinion of our respective merit, cannot change our moral, social, or political status.
 He has slandered not only myself, but many of the best citizens of the State; whenever in my judgment, it has been proper and right have accused him of falsehood and duplicity, and proven the justice of my charges by facts, and by Mir. Peek's own re- cord, which he never has attempted to deny. Smarting under these just and merited ex- posures, he calls it billingsgate, and says he can "only laugh;" if such wholesome truths can provoke his mirth, he must be possessed of extra ordinary good nature. I do not wish to be considered bully, nor do l desire to l" "frighten" " anybody. My course hence forth shall be what it has heretofore been in regard to Peek as an editor-when 1 detect him in wlful falsehood shall expose him; shall continue to caution the public against the counsels of man who is one thing in Illinois and another in Arkansas; and he may call my language by whatever name he pleases "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" and truth, by any other name will be as eifectual to ex- pose the guilty and vindicate the right.
 When accused of base falsehood, gross cowardice, and selling his principles for money, when these and other gross charges are preferred against him and proven by irrefragable testimony, which would make honest blood boil with indignation, and a chivalrous nature demand redress what does this miserable impostor do 7? does he require satisfaction does he resent the in- suit (if rmh can be called an insult, does he attempt an explanation or defence of his shameless course ? No but like spirit less craven as he is, he skulks behind the hymeneal altar, whiningly says he is in "no mood" for war, affects a superiority he never can attain, professes to regard me unworthy of notice, and yet continues to fill his columns with the filthiest slang and lowest personal abuse. l am not emulous of Nil. Peek in this particular; his excuses are paltry, and show that he does not pos sess single courageous or manly instinct; as he knows, and the pnJlic knows that months ago I branded him as Har and c coward.

JESSE \. CYpERT, Eso.-Candidate for Congress, on Monday last, made to large and attentive audience, his speech It was the best and liveliest stump effort made in Fayetteville this many day. It infinitely amused all who sympathised with him and even forced those to smile who are bound heart and soul to the fortunes of Col. Hind man. The opinions he won were golden; and the friends of Col. Hindman cannot condemn him for the rebuke he gave that gentleman-in as much as he only carried the war into Africa. The truth of history will bear him out when he stated that Hind. man himself is the man who not only lifted the sword but desired to have war.
 His exposition of the insult given Wash ington county and her accredited agent, Mir. Boudinot, by the Dover Convention, and the tribute he paid the above named gen tleman, drought down the house." and in manner took off some of the sting of the insult

No Use to Deny It

The True Democrat says that, Electors friends saying that Ca combination damnable conspiracy) existed between Chief Justice English and Judge Compton, to crowd him from the su. preme bench.' Now, Rector's friends are sayinq such hing-and the design of the True Demo- crat men in trying 10 make such an impression, must be so apparent to the friends of both those gentlemen, as to disgust them 'ad nauseum.' "-- Old Line Democrat.
 Now the truth is, prominent friend of the Old Line Democrat and Judge Rector, has been saying just such thing; he is a candidate for very responsible office-and what's more, an ogfce holder: does the Old Liner wish his name? We are ready to give 1t to him. if he does The gentleman himself will not deny it. The judici;ous friends of Rector, of course, prefer to keep quiet on this matter till after the elections: but we beg leave to remind the Old Line that all of Rector's friends have not been trained under Douglas. They sometimes blunder, and not unfrequently fall.

DR. HUMPHREYS, of FRANKLIN-Hon. J. P. HUMPHREYS is . candidate for the legislature. He has recently been in our State Senate, and while there, that body boasted of no more jealous, faithful and able member
 On the 4th July he made speech in Ozark of which the South Western, among other comments, has the following:
 'Public expectation was excited to it's highest pitch, and all seemed anxious to know the position that the Dr. would take upon the important ques- tions of National and State politics, which now so much engross the public attention. We were pres- ent, and we think we cannot be accused of un- due partality for Mr. H., and do not freely agree with him upon all questions of State policy, we shall briefly aude to his speech. We must Tn justice say that it was one of the most forcible, lucid argumentative. eloquent and convincing speeches ever listened to-free from personal allusion or party rancor, it able digniied and statesmen like, fully sustaining the high character which Dr. Humphreys has already won, as an orator. We shall only briefly refer to the most i'm portant points discussed by him."
 The Doctor is for Breckinrdge and Lane, for Johnson for Goveror and for democracy generally, without any admixture of new isms and old line heresies.
