Empty Declarations.

"KrEp IT BEFORE THE rEorLE-That Judge Rec tor proposes to make the Real Est,te Bank lands pay in full the debts of that bauk, and no, release the mortgages as the True Democrat has been false ly charging ."-Old Line Denoerat.
 Now the Old Liner may be sincere in the above statement, and Judge Rector may be sincere when he makes the same declar- ation. A man who is on the road to Pine Bluff. may honestly think he is on the way to Fort Smith, and stick to it that he is making headway towards the latter place in spite Of all explanations and arguments to the contrary; but it is none the less true that he is mistaken. Judge Rector and his nephew still insist upon making such as- sertions as above quoted, and persist in ac cusing the True Democrat of misrepresen- tatiOn.
 Wed charge that Judge Rector has been in favor of funding the debts, ,snd issuing new bonds payable in .fus~o. We make this charge after reading the reports of Rector's speeches. written by his warmest friends, and the explanation and ventilation of his policy by the Old Line Democrat and kin dred papers. advocating his election. We have deied the old Line Democrat to deny that such is his policy; it has not done so. and we must therefore be correct.
 If new bonds are issued in place of the present bonds, the lands mortgaged to SC. cure the payment of the latter will neces- sarily be released.
 Judge Rector has been in favor of issuing new bonds in place of the present bonds.
 Therefore Judge Rector has been in favor of releasing the lands mortgaged to secure the payment of the present bonds.
 This conclusion, we apprehend, is not affected by the Old Liners stubborn assev sration that Judge Rector has not been in favor of :" releasing Me morts ages"

As to the tears shed by Mir. .Johnson's friends at the speaking in Springfield, they were shed for Rector, not Johnson. To see man whom the democracy had heretofore honored be- come the willing tool of the opposition. was enough to make any good democrat shed tears; they will however, dry their tears when the ides of August bring the glorious news of Mir. Johnson triumphant election by an overwhelming majority. ] nov dismiss Young Democrat to the sting of an abused conscience, if he has any, earn estly hoping, hot and dry as the weather is, that he has cooled down since his last epistle on old linerism.

A Farewell to Trumpler

Since the Old Liner forces us to expose oN of its trickery, meanness, and duplicity, we will state that we have shown that Trumpler was imposed on; that he was suborned to contradict himself, and that all this was done by the conductors of the Old Line Democrat, who personally solicited the signature to cut-and-dried certificate. In the face of these facts and MT. Trumpler's statement to that effect, that paper denies that the certificate was procured by it's conductors. We pity such cowardly, skulk.ing meanness. Arrogant, snpercil' ious, over-bearing-he now. since he has turned out "to seek popular favor !" Ito use his own language) affects . great love for the mechanics whom he has never paid. We will venture the assertion that there is not mechanic in Little Rock who would not rather be paid his honest wages. than patted on the back and wheedled for his vote.

Ep1roRs TRUE DEMOCRAT
 Gentlemen: Some several weeks past. (Jnne lS) Messrs. Mitchell and Can't ad- dressed the citizens of Ashley county, which was reported to you by /" Fair Play" At that time was most decidedly in favor of Mir. Can't, because thought that he was man of more than ordinary ability; and further, because I thought he was pos sessed of boldness and honesty ot purpose which would render him most formidable champion of southern rights, but his con- duct while at this point justities me Tn changing my opinion and vote.
 Mr. Can't, after speaking had concluded. sought an interview with the leading know nothings or oppositionists in our town; and approached them in this way, said he:- "Gentlemen. I wish to have talk with vou before I leave--the fact k, if vou have your man in the field, IwiH come down 'n vour favor, because. expect to get your votes, and if do not. can not beat Mitch el." This is the kind of democrat and the means he employs to beat Mitchell, the Cu,tius. who has thrown himself into the chasm to save democracy. This has gone forth in Ashley county. and will conslgn him to that oblivion which his treachery so richly merits.
 Johnson's majority will be large in our portion of the State.
 Respectlv, ASHLEY.

 3. Resolued, That when the settlers in territory, having an adequate population, form State con- stitution, the rights of sovereignty commences, and being consummated by admission into the Union. they stand on equal footing with the peo. pie of other States-and the State thus organized ought to be admitted into the federal Union, wheth.

Catching at Straws.

For the last two weeks we have really pitied our dejected neighbors of the Old Line Democrat. They have forgotten their cunning, and go blundeing through the darkness Their warmest friends have dropped off one by one, and no one is now found so hardened in political iniquity as to defend the low purposes to which the columns of the Old Line Democrat have been prostituted, and the cowardly, skulk- ing manner in which it is done. That paper, for instance, should have been print. ed off yesterday evening, yet it is held back to this late hour in order that we may go to press before it is circulated. Whenever the system of dodging is resorted to. we cannot but pity even while we condemn.- Publish your falsehoods to the world--it avails nothing-you are beaten by 10000 votes. But shame upon such low, debas- ing tricks! It is even worse thsn suited "high-bred dignity"

It was the only one he used while on the supreme bench. 1tmay be efficient in private capacity. but it will not do to pay the State debt. The creditors of the State must have something better than this only argument of the "astute inan. cier." Judge Rector we understand is in the habit of paying the poor mechonics. with whom just now he so deeply sympathises, in this way, but it won't do in political econo- my.

LET THE SOUTH LOOK TO HER LAURELs.- It has been generally thought that the northern district was the stronghold of the dsorganizers, and that Judge Rectors ma jority there would be enough to ovcrbalancc the conceded majority for Johnson in the southern district; indications constantly show that this is a mistaken notion, and that Johnson's vote in the northern district will be overwhelming. and probably exceed his vote in the southern counties; democrats have risen in their might and shaken from their shoulders the insults and tlictaton of insolent demagogues. From every quarter of the north and west Johnson is victori- ons, and if the election was two or three weeks off, there is little doubt but John sons majority would be at least 5000 in the lst district. In Benton county Rector's friends think it will be close, while .Tohn- sons confidently claim 200 m ,iority; where now is the evidence of that intense dissat- isfaction which the Old Line has talked about so much?

From Conway County.

CONWAY COUNTY, July 3Oth, 1860. EpIroRs TRUE DEMOCRAT
 The canvass for State officers was con- cluded on last Saturday at Springfield; the contest has been warm though not bitter, and conducted honorably by the can lidates. Hon. Levin D. Hill, the able advocate Of sound democratic principles, has met his opponent at every point. and abs olutely ex coriated him from head to foot. Hill has accomplished much for himself and much for the party in this struggle. Johnson, Hill, and the gallant Harper, have made all right in this dStrict-next Monday will prove it beyond all cavil Rector's most sanguine and active friends heretofore, are dispirited and crest fallen; they all admit that R. H. ohnson will be our next Gov ernor.
 Ninety mine one-hundredths of the de- mocracy of this county are for Breckinridge and Lane, we believe they are sound men, standing upon sound platform and the man who advocates Douglas and squatter sovereignty is already landed at the head of Salt river. The early and full indorse ment of this ticket by the True Democrat is well understood and fully appreciated here. Yours, etc.,
 CONWAY.

self.Contradicted.

The first article in the Old Line Demo crat of yesterday. is alabored attempt to prove that we are not supporting Col. Cypert but only using him; in the fourth column it reverses she picture, and attempts to prove that we are supporting Cypert and discarding Hindrnan. This is almost as Imaginable as its recent attempt to prove that we had Breckinridge and Douglas column. When paper is so lost to com mon decency as to libel and islander the best men in the State. such as Judge Fletcher. Gen. Mitchell, R. w. Johnson, Judge Totten and others. 1t can scarcely be expected to regard its reputation for veracity; but that 1t should contradict itself in the broadest terms in parallel columns. can only be at- tributed to the partially demented condi- tion which abject despair has brought about Having contradicted itself. no further an- swer is required, but we will add that both statements are false.
 Col. Cypert is an independent candidate. The editor of the Old Line Democrat has sufficient evidence of this in the prompt and unequivocal lie which Cole. gave to the charges of the "imported editor" We have let Col. c. alone. We published his address" by special request. just as the Old Line Democrat published the address of James A. Jones. the opposition candi- date in the southern district. On the other hand we have not defended Hindman, be- cause his arrogant conduct precluded ITS from so doing. Having procured his own nomination, and ruled off the track by their respect for party usages all his demo- cratic opponents, he set himself to work to overturn the nominations of others. In self-defense we had to expose, not only his inconsistency, but his total disrespect for the common sense of the democrats of Ar kansas Farther than this we have not gone. We are proud to know that many of Hindman's warmest friends applaud our course, and we have moreover that purer, sweeter pleasure still-the consciousness of having practiced what we preached. sound democratic principles. Only yesterday Col Stuart, of Craighead county, up to the Dover Convention one of Hindman's most devoted friends, said in this office that he washed his hands forever of T. O. Hind. man-that he was unworthy of Democratic confidence Hundreds have done the same thing.l We have done nothing-Hindman himself has reversed the rod of his enchant- ment and dispelled the illusions under which many of his warmest admirers la- bored. We have let him and Cypert alone scarcely noticed them. except when com pelled to do so--and now they are before the voters of the first Congressional dis trict, the last umpire to which they can ap- peal. and by the decision of Monday next we will cheerfully abide.

The Old Lines Lokic.

"DxMocRArs LEFT FREE TO CHoosE - fresi- dent Buchanan said in his recent speech at Wash- ington, that the nomination to be binding upon the party was that mace under the two third rule. That none other could be satisfactory or valid, and that it was the democratic usage to require it."- Old Line Democrat.
 How weak must be the cause that re- quires constant perversion of truth and facts to sustain it. By process. not only illogical. but extremely silly. the Old Line i for some time past. has attempted to prove a parallelism between the situations of Rec tor and Breckinridge. We would like to know whether they hope to bolster up Rec tor by putting him in decent company. or whether they wish to damn Breckinridge forever by this process of ridicule. Why will the editor of the Old Line Democrat falsify history? Is he 80 ignorant as not to know. or so interruptions as to pervert, the facts? The two thirds rule was adopt. ed by the national democratic convention for specific purpose-to prevent States which did not possess democratic majori- ties, from overriding purely democratic States. There is no binding reason why it should prevail in this State. and prece- dents are against it. Besides Breckinridge is the nominee of . convention - whether full one or not. He and Douglas have both the sanction of large and respectable wings of the democratic party in conven- tions assembled. It is worse than folly, it is gross political depravity. to deny the truth, and set up the ipse dirit of such demoralized paper as our prostituted CO., temporary, against historical facts. It first proclaimed Breckinridge "disorgani- zer," and then avowed it's intention to dis. organize, if possible the democratic party. It then proclaimed Rector "disorgani- zer," and the parallel between the profound ex.Judge. industrious farmer. distinguished Cincinnatus," = the triune prodigy of legal lore. agricultural experience. and Roman disinterestedness-Henry M. Rector and John c. Breckinridge was fully estab- lished 70, what fall was there, my countrymen"! This comparison is enough to kill Breckinridge in Arkansas. were it not so extremely inappropriate that the contrast only excites our mirth. A lawyer without briefs. and judge without deci sions, farmer who deserted his calling and left his pow in the furrow, and Gin cinnatus---a disinterested Roman--eternally seeking office, yet rejected by his own party. and whiningly confessing that he IS dis organizer enough to get the votes of the opposition! Byron, in one of his noble bursts of poetry. in which the pure genius of liberty flashed out through the lurid blaze of powerful but distempered imagi- nation, called the immortal Washington the "Cincinnatus of the West" But alas for the grandeur, the beauty, and the dignity of poetry and history. Henry NJ. Rector stands, according to the Old Line Democrat, on the same pedestal with the father of his country" and the savior of Rome! Hereafter. poets will hang their harps on the willow" and the muse of history will blot out the pictured page in disgust at the caricature-Henry M. Rector!!

Mitchell Everywhere Triumphant.

From every post at which Mitchell and Can't have spoken comes up the most cheer. ing news. The Magnolian thus ends a long and well written notice of their speeches at that point:
 "Some fears were entertained by his friends that Mitchell would scarcely be able to cope with his competitor on the stump. but in this place his inf nite superiority is conceded by almost all par ties. In fact we think of him as the Kentuckan did of Henry Clay, from grog shop up, he is the qreatcsf man in Ne State." We heard the most in- telligent whig Tn the county say that the only ob jection he had to Dr. Mitchell was, "d-n him he had made South Arkansas democratic"
 eve have heard it said that there were at least one hundred potes changed on the day of speaking. We are satisfied that all is right in this quarter and that Mitchell will carry this county by handsome majority"

This journal heads its editorial column with diabolically ugly picture, and calls it Abra ham Lincoln. No better plan could be adopted for defeating that gentleman's election.
