boys; don't let such nonsense spoil good
game" The boys did go on with their
bawling, but not with the game Of ball.
They got out an old rusty cannon and
made it ring, while the tall Sucker went

Wild Man-Queer Tricks-Discovery

CHICAGO May 20, 1860.
During the FIRST days session of the
Republican Convention. a wild man with
black Zouave hat, and otherwise gen.
teely dressed, was observed passing rap
idly along one of the streets leading ito
the Wharf. So curious were his move
ments, that large crowd followed him.
He stood for a moment looking intense
ly upon the top of the main mast of a
large Schooner--by far the talleSt in the
port-then bounded aboard. slipped off
his shoes and nimbly assembled to the
summit; stood on his head for moment,
then as rapidly descended on the other
side. With one bound he reached the
shore, shoes in one hand, Zouave in the
other, and shir:--at an angle Of
ninety degrees he started down Water
street at the rate of two-forty. Police
made desperate. but Intellectual efforts to
stop him. The only words he was heard
to utter as he passed on, were. that che
had been TO the top of the great pole
which Sir John Franklin and his broth
er Ben. had been hunting for fifteen years,
and that there was a whole crowd of lit
tie poles all around it, and that he was
going to tell Ned Bates, so that he might
get polled through the Convention
This was the last seen of him.

MEssRs EDIToRs: We have the most cheering news from all quarters, and the prospect now is that matters will be devel- oped earlier than was anticipated, showing the great strength and popularity of oul ticket. From reports learn the commit tee here is in the receipt of the most cheer ing news.

A united northern democracy will present wall of | fire against such catastrophe!
 There are in our midst numerous persons who predict the dissolution of the great de- mocratic party, and others who contend that it has already been dissolved. The wish is father to the thought. It has been heretofore in great peril; but when divided for the moment it has always closed up its ranks and become more powerful, even from defeat. It will never die whilst the constitution and the Union survive. It will live to protect and defend both. It has its roots in the very vitals of the constitution, and, like one of the ancient cedars of Leba- non, 1t will flourish to afford shelter and protection to that sacred instrument, and to shield it against every storm of faction.

 August IT. 1860,
EDITOR ARKANsIAN-

 EDITOR ARKANsIAN-
 "To us who live here and know him, this is neither matter of regret nor sur prise. The loss of one will be the gain of many.
 The above is to be fouud in an extract of letter from this place, published in the Gazette of the l1th inst, and is in reference to the present position of Maj. Reagan on the presidential question. "Neither amat- ter of regret nor surprise" yet we find it the subject matter of two long communica- tions, signed Justita " and co" in the same number of that paper.
 The truth is, the course of these "Union shriekers" proved the reverse to be true, for ever since Maj Reagan has given pub licity to his position, we find them from the Tycoon of the party down to the least sud busily engaged in trying to prejudice the public mind against him, and at the same time, although contending that his position is not tenable, refusing to meet him in debate.
 Will "Justitia," who has voluntarily undertaken to keep the public posted up, alongside his correspondence, duello, give the reason why Judge Walker and himself did not go with Maj. Reagan and Col. Will son to their remaining appointments at Huntsville and Carrolton, and meet them in debate? The first having been specially invited to do so by Maj. R., and "Juaitia 7 solicited and strongly importuned by his friends. Echo would answer, pressing en- goneents. Verify it is one thing to succeed in honorable debate, and another to " "horse through '" on paper.
 Whenever any of these Union Giants meet any one fairly in debate, will "Jus- tita" and "Q" (whom further we turn over to the tender mercies of the Memphis Enquirer witha mental Godsave mefrom my friends for him ) give it to the public without setting down aught in malice?
 In conclusion we ask, will "Justitia D and his champion Judge w. or even the giant killer Thomson, make appointments and render Reagan aud Wilson an equal division of time, precisely the proposition offered them by R. and w. and of which they complain.
 One other question, did Thomson "hap- pen '" to come up from Van Buren or was he telegraphed for and his expenses paid? w.

Take Notice.

The Helena SAieM, an opposition paper, whose candor, gentility and courtesy we have ever admired, thus frankly acknowl. edges the truth:
 The election in this State for Governor has re suited in the choice of Henry M. Rector, indepen- dent democrat, over R. H. Johnson, regular nomi- nee of the democratic party. Out of this county, the opposition vote was generally cast for Rector, and though he is democrats, his election can be, to some extent, regarded asan opposition triumph.
 For the information of the .Shield, we will explain why in some counties Cypert did not get his own party strength. The "wire-w workers" of his party here thought 1t best to sacrifice him and defeat Johnson, regarding Rector's election, as the .Shield truly says, as more desirable opposition triumph than the election of Cypert.- We will not say which was right.

 We hoped that since the Old Line Demo crat had changed hands for time, there would at least be a temporary cessation of those wild and reckless charges, which has heretofore distinguished it. Our personal relations with the present editor are of the kindest and most friendly character, and we would, that they should remain so. We would be unjust to ourselves, however, and to the principles we espouse to suffer such bold and malicious charges to pass by unrcbuked The above statement is untrue in erery particular. There are no papers in the State which the True Democrat attempts to, or does control. The only paper which could by any means have been influenced in it's course, supported Hindman. So much for the above unfounded charges. We trust we shall keep our temper in the midst of such ungenerous interpretations.
