Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-09-08

of Mir. Douglas, now upbraids him for his timidity and treachery, has manfully cast off the mask, and Is nov sn avowed leader in the republican ranks. His fugleman, For ney, openly advocates a coalition with the black republicans to defeat our candidates. We see presses, and leaders, and orators pulling down the Douglas and raising the republican flag. We say to the democrats of the olden time and the young democrats of the present day, beware of the insidious 1 advances of the enemy. Beware of the first fatal step towards republicanism and towards disunion. Rally to the old flag. Rally on the tried leaders. Be not slough. ed off into the abolition camp with Hick- man and others. We implore you to weigh these facts, and we believe you will be sat isfed of the tendency of the Douglas or ganzation towards republicanism. Indeed the entire organization will melt and is melting away. The freesoilism of it is now being absorbed in the republican ranks, and the trre democrats, of whom there are large numbers, are falling back into line with the old comrades, with whom they have achieved the triumphs of the demo- cncy.
 BRCKINRIpGE AND DOUGLAS. Consider the spectacle presented to us by the democratic and the Douglas candidates for the Presidency. MT. Breekinridge has retired to his quiet home in Kentucky. there calmly and with dignity to await the verdict of the people. MT. Douglas is tra versing the country, especially iii the north and east dosing out the panacea of "squat- ter sovereignty" as remedy for all our ills, appealing to the "higher law" and endea- voring with the magic of his words and his presence, to caiole the people to his sup port. In this he will misersbly fail. In the exalted position of President of the United States, the people will exact some thing more than the qualities of travelling mountebank Mr. Douglas in his recent let ter has averred that his object was to take the question of slavery out of the halls of Con- gress; and yet during this whole adminis- tration he has keptup the slavery agitation with persistency and fesceness amount ing almost to insanity. It has caused him to neglect every other duty in Congress except the defence of his consistency, and the advo- cacy of his views in regard to slavery. He has been remarkable for his facility in dodg ing votes, and when he did vote, for his votes to be with the republicans. With that party not only did he vote on the LecoInp- ton question, but on most incidental ques- tions, in total inconsistency with his former votes. With that party he coalesced, not simply in his votes on such n l rquestions as the election of public primer, etc., but in determining who in the Senate of the United States were the presentatives of the sovereign State of Indiana. He has been rebel, both to the organization and to the principles of the party. He has voted against its platform and its candi- | dates.
 To conciliate republican votes, he has indulged in vulgar filings at the South. He prefers the clans of Rhode Island to the niggers of the South. "I HAVE MUCH MORE FoNDNEss FOR YOUR CLANS THAN HAVE FOR THEIR NIGaERs." These things have sunk deep into the hearts of the Ame- rican democracy; and even if he should ex- tend his clam baking operations to the coasts of Labrador. trying on his way the infinite relish of fyeshly-caught mackerel, halbut, and cod, he will find that whilst the people are pleased with the jovial quail ties of the hail, well-m fellow. they will despise and reprobate the public man.
 Words cannot express the magnitude of the blessings which benignant Providence has showered upon us-a vast and extended area, spanning the entire continent, and reaching from the cold north down even to tropical heat-a population now large and most rapidly increasing-the enjoyment of abundant comforts and even great luxuries of life-a union of industrial interests, va ried by soil and climate-a paternal and kindly government, founded on the princ ple for which we have ever and shall ever contend. Shall discord enter this magnifi- cent abode? Shall the Union be broken up? Shall poverty, anxiety, distress and internal wars take the place of wealth, con- tent, and successful enterprise? Our rcoun- trymen, do not close your eyes to the dan ger of this! When the danger comes, 1t will come from the selfish ambition of in- dividuals, whose talents enable them to SOW the seed of strife in party which for many generations has supported this glo- rious government, founded on political and social rights to every citizen--a govern ment distinguished alike for its benignity. its wisdom and its strenSth-the glory of the age, and the admiration of the friends of freedom, and of the rights of man throughout the habitable globe.
 Fellow democrats, to the work! Stand on your platform, and cling to your candi- dates You are contending for the Consti- tuition of your country, and for the union of these States. Let us fight the good fight, as our fathers did. Our candidates have been baptized in blood in the wars of the country, and have in every act of their lives signalized their patriotism and seli- sacrifice The crisis of the times has placed them before the people. You know their principles There is no silence as in the case of Bell and Everett. There is no shutf1ing disguises as in the case of Doug las and Johnson There is no war upon both Constitution and the Union, as in the case of Lincoln (the sympathizer with Mexico, and the sympathzer with fanati- cism) and Hamlin. But their motto and our motto is
 "THE CONSTITUTION AND THE EQUALITY OF THE STATES: THESE ARE SYMBOLS OF EVERLASTING UNION. LET THESE BE THE RALLYING CRIES OF THE PEopLE!"
 In behalf of the National Democratic Executive Committee.
