Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-02-22
A Gross Misrepresentatien.


 scnting us has been ndulged in long enough. The Old Line Democrat attributes to us this declaration" Ihat Hindnaan should 5e beaten # HeH and Heacen had to 6e brought together." We never uttered such sentiment in our life, nor anything like it. NNenever even heard of 1t before. We expect to see Mir. Hindman beaten, as he deserves to be, but have no idea that 1t will require Heaven and Hell to be brought together to do it. Will Mir. Peek do us the justice to make the correction.
 A Still Grosser Misrepresentation.
 One John King, who desires to make himself notorious as an advocate of rali- roads, by making as many enemies to them as he can, has published q letter in the Fort Smith Herald, purporting to have been written by John Mccoy, of Newton county, to T. c. Hindman, which is one tissue of falsehood from the beginning to the end. King is railroad man-a 35th parallel railroad man-only to lug that measure into politics to use it Q. an engine to break down all whom he dislikes He has been fourishing for sometime past between Fort Smith and Memphis, with all the airs of a very important parsonage, representing the interests of Fort Smith, visiting Little Rock and Memphis, and writing all man. ner of foolish letters to the papers, without one single manly thought or original idea in any of them, and achat has he accom- plished?-a5solutely less Man mothing. He has done the cause absolute injury.
 But to John McCoy's letter-we re- publish it in full for the benefit of all con cerned:
 "JAsPER, NEWTON COUNTY, ARK.l October l3, 1859.
 the legislature was in session, Richard II. Johnson editor of the True Democrat newspaper, election eered with me very earnestly in behalf Of Judge Sebastian, urging me to vote for him. I told him was committed to no particular man, and that all my constituents expected me to do Tn that matter was to vote for a capable and sound democrat who was in favor of the Both parallel route for the Pacific railroad.
 Mr. Johnson then declared himself opposed to the 35th parallel route, and advised me to oppose it. As a reason why should do so, he said that his brother Senator Robert w. Johnson, had told him. .that if the GqSlaprc should instruct him to rote for the 35M paratLt route, by God he toutd resign hls seat before he lrOuld do IT.
 replied, that my people expected me to advo- cate instructions in favor of the 35th parallel, and Shat they would censure me if 1 failed to do so. Mr. Johnson then said, that makes difference, I can hold you up any how with the True Demo- crat.'
 As the above conversation related to public ques- tons did not consider it confidential. 1 give you, therefore, the substance of 1t, to be used you may think proper Yours, truly,
 ~.Col. T. c. HINDMAN.'"
 This letter is one tissue of falsehood- not a truth in it. John Mccoy may have copied and signed his name to it, but he is not the father of it. It is Hindman's man. ner and style-we honestly believe 1t is Hindman's production. The letter is dated at Jasper on the 18th of October, and Hindman spoke at Jasper on that day.
 John Mccoy could not have written such letter. We have seen his composition often. He is utterly incapable of correct spelling, much less of the forcible manner of expression in the above letter. John Mccoy is an ignorant and weak minded man, and easily imposed upon. That he has been imposed upon by the unscrupu- lous cunning of T. c. Hindman we are satisfied by this letter. Mccoy could not have written such letter if the facts had been true, and he is certainly incapable of the invention that falschood always requires. The whole thing was concoctcd and planed by Hindman, and is a disreputable attempt to misreprescnt and injure
