REV. EVAN JoSEs.-The Fort Smith Times of the 9th inst. says: We publish in to-day's paper a communication from the Rev w. A. Duncan, Cherokee, in which he gives an extract from letter written by the Rev. Evan Jones, taken from New Hampshire paper, in which he tells the tale on himself, and the thing is proved beyond doubt. that he has been teaching abolilionsm to the Cherokees. The letter was not expected to reach this latitude, but was intended for the North The truth is now out, and Evan Jones will have to walk the plank. Out with him."
 This fellow Jones has been charged. for some time past, with creating great among the Cherokees upon the subject of slavery. but has persisiently denied il. Tbe letter of the Rev. A. w. Duncan is clear exposition of the course

POLITICAL FoR E EBoDINos.-A number of DoucLAs and JOHNSON papers in the South are discovering that they have DO showing" for their ticket, and portray un- mstakabe evidence of going over to BELL and EVERETT. Well, go along gentlemen. You will be "bad rubbish well rid of" and we would be glad to see you occupy that position without delay. The true Nation al Democracy will then be better enabled 10 meet the whole array against them in an open fight. We covert acts of the Dou- glasites from the first day of the Charles ton Convention down to the time they coun- tepanced and received the Douglas dele. gation from Arkansas, has been series Of glaring nconsistencies-enou 10 sat- isiy the whole nation that principle was unthought of, so that they could but sue ceed in nominating their favorte-no mat ter by what means--for the Presidency But the people are beginning to see for themselves. and woe to the men who have forgotten that the masses are capable of judging for themselves. The attempt to palm of DOUGLAS upon the people of Ar kansas. is the widest political chimera that ever entered the head and heart of de- designing politicians.

A D1soRGANlzINe SauAD.-We learn that there is a dscontented squad at Bates vile who are trying to gel up Douglas ticket in this State, and we are informed that they will make an attempt to get the Hon. w. K. Patterson, of this county, to le, them use his name on the ticket. Col. Patterson will cordially support the Bfeck- inridge ticket, and there is no chance for these dsorganizers to get either succor or sympathy from this quarter. Mary wave from Jackson" The Breckinridge and Lane ticke, will be supported unanimously in this county, and We learn that the Dou- glasles cannot muster even a corporaPs guard in Independence. - Jacksonport Herald.

TIE CANVASS FOR GovERNoR-PRAIRIE CouNTY.-From all portions of the State we have the mos, flattering accounts oflhe determination ofthe people to elect RECTOR over JOHNSON, for Governor. From the opening of the canvass, in their appoint ments to address the people, Col. RECTOR has literally vanquished his opponent The masses. who have seen and heard them, are thus far we'll satisfied with the superiority of Col. RECTOR over Col. JOHNSON. The truth is, there is no com parison between the two men; RECTOR is an agreeable and fluent debater, while JOHNSON is dull and prosy.
 So far as Prairie county is concerned, the JOHNSON men seem 10 have. given up the fight, until during he past two weeks. The few supporters of his ill-gotten nomi- nation lave just aroused themselves, and have commenced using their utmost exer- ,ions to restore his fallen fortunes in this county Let the people beware Let them remember the oft-repeated wish to rid themselves of succession a0ho claim all the offices, all the honors, and all the emolumsnts for thensseiues and friends, and vote for HENRy M. RECTOR for Cover. nor.

 12 eicrock, tnfg11t. 4-5
 Met-present, Carroll, R. w. Johnson, I. P Johnson, Gould, Manning, Hoadley, Jordan, Hindman.
 Mr. Hindman reported that the South ern conference of to- night had unanimous ly recommended that the Regular Dele gates, who had withdrawn or refused 10 take seats in the convention, assemble in National Democratic convention. at dli- ferent place, on tomorrow and there pro ceed to adopt sound platform and nom'- nate sound ticket.
 This recommendation was unanimously approved by the delegation: also by Hon. T. F. Sorrells, nominee for State Elestor.
 On motion of Judge Gould. K. W. Johnson and T. c. Hindman were ap- pointed, to address letter to the Arkan' sas Democratic Central Committee, urg. ing them to ascertain immediately Jt all the nominees for Electors weuld support the platform and nominees of the conven- ton composed of delegates refusing to take seats or remain in the Douglas con- vention ; and if any nominee for Elector refuses or hesita.es 10 take that position, then his nomination should be dlsregardedi and set aside, and new convention called to nominate true man in his stead.
 The same persons were also appointed to issue joint address to the Democracy of Arkansas, explanatory of the course oi this delegation and of the existing condl- ton of Federal politics.
 On motion, the chairmen were unanl- mousy instructed to cast the vote ot the State for eBrecknridge for President and Lane for Vice President. :.
 Judge Gould moved that the proceed ings of the various delegation meetings be sen, by the Secretary to the Old. L'nt Democrat and True Democrat newspapers of Little Rock and that both said news. papers, and the other public journals throughout the State, be requested to pub fish the same which motion was adopted On further motion, adjourned sine die J.P.

 We almost know that Mr. Douglas vii receive the Democratic vote of the North ern States, and will certainly receive [ large'vote in the South, G not a majority but if we see that we are mistaken in oul opinion during the canvass, and that Bel and Everett will receive the full vote o the old Whig party, then we shall give them our support, and urge the friends o Douglas to follow suit.

Cor. JOHNSON A BASKlrE.--The True Democrat publishes letter from MT. Re. ceiver Gordon N. Peay. ia which he states that is does not appear from the books in his possession that Col. Johnson was ever indebted to the Real Estate Bank. either as principal or security; or that he ever purchased or owned any of the mortgaged stock lands of that bank. This letter the True Democrat proclaims 10 be, an AN swER TO FALSE CHARGES.
 Now NIT. Peay's letter is evidently framed strictly in response to in,errogato- sivs propounded by the editors of the True Democrat; but those interrogatories are so shaped as to enlicit an answer that will mislead the public mind from the real is. sue that we have made with Col. John. son.
 Now we have never stated tha, MT. Johnson was ever individually indebted to tue Real Estate Bank, or that he individ- ually ever owned any of the norgaged lands of tha, institution. But we have sla. ted. and prorsd. and will reilerale. that Col R. H. Jobnson's father had borrowed money largely from these old banks, and paid t back in depreciated funds; and that he also owned 300 shares Of the stock in the Real Estate Bank, and morlgaged lands in this county to secure them; and that thcse lands are now in he possession of Mrs. Johnson, the representative of bis estate, and still subject 10 foreclosure to pay said stock; and that Dick Johnson. as one the five heirs of his father, is clearly interested 10 the extent of one-fifth in the said 300 shares of stock which, with 5 per cent. interest from the dale of their issu- sste-, amount to abUut s66,6 ss6j6 and IS also interested 10 the same extent in tue equi,y of redemption of said mortgages.
 Now, if these facts are not true, let the True Democrat deny and relute them. If they are true they certainly convict Mir. Johnson of being interested in the affairs of the Real Estate Bank-and such an interest, too, as would be greatly promoted by releasing those lands from said mort qages, and throwing the payment of said stock upon tue Slate.- [Old Line Demo- crat.

 MR. EDITOR Will you permit me to trespass little on your patience and that of your readers. Black & Boudinot, Ed'- tors pro tenn of the True Democrat say that Johnson in pursuing Conway's policy,
 intends to make the mortgage lands pay the State debt, This may be true so far only as the deb, of the Real Estate Bank is concerned. How about the debt on ac- count of the Stale Bank. which Is about d million and half Why Johnson says DIRECT TAXATION. He admits in all his speeches that he cannot devise any other plan.
 Black & Boudino, say that Rector is concocting some scheme 10 release the bank lands, and that no body can be made to understand it. This last assertion may be true, also. as far as they are themselves concerned. Captain Danley of the Ga zette wanted to make out that il wont do- because you, Captain or some of your friends did not originate. its Judge Rector does not very materially differ with MT. Johnson on Real Estate Bank affairs - Rector proposes to get possession ot the Bonds both on account of the Real Estate Bank and those of the State Bank-lore- close the mortgages; make the lands pay out; but ln the meanwhile do something else for the benefit Of the Stale and the people.
 Judge Rector's plan Of ABSORBING the State indebtedness in internal improve ments is really q plan, notwithstanding Messrs. Black & Boudlnot, the Captain of the Gazette and all the Johnsons to boot can, understand ii. Any tyro in the land can cypher il out in thirty minutes.
 Ali parties being willing and why should they not be Thus: The States owes so much. But can. pay-and why! The constitution provides "that no other or greater amount of revenue shall al any tune be levied than required for the ne- cessary expenses of the Government, un- less by q concurrence of two thirds of both houses of the General Assembly"
 The State deb, is no part of the neces- sary expenses of the government. How then shall the debt be paid Hardly by direct taxation, except as provided for.
 How then! Two thirds of the legisla- lure must agree before the thing can be done that way; unless Mir. Johnson, if Governor, pursuing Conway's policy. and advocating direct taxation, uses all hls executive power and influence 10 carry the point Meanwhile the State that has ds
