Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-01-18

Johnson Of the True Democrat, IS c".. ' the governorship. I am confident that D'ek would oct a very good vote in Calhoun if it asdehniteiy known that he had any rredilectiens for the once of Chief Magistrate of the State over when ne mas watched for number of years with parentai care, No man in the State has done more, nag. even naii as much for the democratic party as has Col John- son. He has stood up and cheered the democracy in the hours of their adversity He stood by the marty when victory uncertain, and now, Tn my concepton were he to ask office at the hands oi a marty for which he had nobly fought, It would be generous in that party to remunerate hlm With the position to which he aspres. Or shall we say when there is fighting to be done, my dear Cot. 70
 ,rr ,ost hut in the distribution of the spells after inc victory shall havebeen won, and that too under his oeneralship and supervision, shall we say stand aside. in these you have no right to share. But we hone to hear more from Col. Johnson before we say more upon this score"
 We give, alphabetically, the names of those gentlemen who have been ror,ed in connection with the office of Governor either of whom, we suppose, if nominated, would serve. There may be others. whose names do not now occur to us. The aspirants are Fletcher, Floyd, Gould, Hill, Mayors, McGreery, Mitch ell, Roane, Totten and J. F. Wheeler.
 We have elsewhere noticed the marriage of the editor of the Warren Sunbeam. The people of Bradley county have organ ized vigilance committee Of some ot the first men in the county, to watch suspected characters from the north.
 The semi occasional mails bring us three or four numbers of the western papers at time. The Thirty Fifth Parellel hoists the name of Albert Gallatin Brown, of Mis- sissip for President, subject to the decis- ion of the convention. In the issue of the 20th, the Parellel talks plainly and inde- pendently to our neighbor. The grand jury of Sebastian county refused to claim per diem pay during the recess of the court. The debt of Sebastian county Is about | twenty thousand dollars. The Parallel is gaining subscribes and good will.
 We saw at the wharf, a week or two since, part of the fixtures of fine steam | press for the Fort Smith Times. As another evidence of the enterprise of that paper we notice it contains telegraphic re- ports by Stebbin's line. From Warsaw, Mo-, the messages are sent on by the over land mail, one of the fastest lines in the country Thus, in one paper Mir. Wheeler gives proceedings at Washington that hap pened only two or three days before. This beats our facilities. It's human nature we cant help it, but we really envy the Fort Smithians.
 The Van Buren Press gives an account of the elopement of a Mrs. Husen with 6 man named Hentz The Press grows elo quent thereon. After all, i'll such affair: we never could see where the loss or gair was. In an article upon the next Cover nor the Press defines the character of tht man required. There are at least dozer whose friends claim for each that he would completely fill the bill. We have no doubt the right kind of man will be selected
 and one who can take the stump and give the people his views fully on all leading questions.
 The Arkansian takes the ground in favor of Judge Fletcher for Governor. Editor Boudinot has the advantage now of posi- tion in the controversy concerning the authorship of One of the 35.' A Doctor Ialiaferro, sets up a claim to the au- thorship In this connection we may re- mark that it is something singular connected with Hindman, that he requires more of his friends than any man ever did and his heavy drafts are often honored There l was Martin, and now this man Taliaferro come forward to shield him. Their efforts are intellectual, 1t is true, but it shows how he can control some men. If he was only an honorable man, and possessed any iudg ment, he might be invincible. With his brass, his energy and power to control weak men, success would be certain. But, he has no ballast, no moral principle, and is forever getting his friends into difficult ties. The following from the Arkansian is clincher. We have shown the Viator manuscript, or had it shown to a, least one. | hundred persons here and with one solitary exception u vas admitted to be Hiudman's writing. We have seen some of the hand writing of Martin. It is clerkly, bold hand, and as dissimilar from Hindman's as writing can we'll be.
 Here is the Proof.
 | We, whose names are hereunto annexed, being l called upon to state whether the manuscript of the piece of fcomposion published in the ''State Rights | Democrats" of date the 18th September ls59 and | signed Fiator,'' is in the handwriting of Hon. | T C.Hindman do say, after comparing said man. uscript with we'll authenticated letters written by l Col T. c. Hindman--one to the Editors of the Fort Smith Times" bearing date the 29th Sep tember, 1859; the other to Mir E. c. Boudinot, bearing date October 5th, l859;-that the said manuscript, signed 'Viator'' as published in the "State Rights Democrat" is in the same hand writing, from beginning to end that of the let ters above referred to; we have no doubt whatever, l but the handwriting of each letters and sViator' manuscript, is the same; and with this statement we think there be no possible controversy as to the identity of the chrography, either here else where, wherever these letters and this manuscript may be shown and compared.
