From the Van Buren Press The Candidates at Van Buren, Crawford County.

Mr. Johnson lead off in speech of an hour and half, reviewing the proceedings of the State convention, which Is claimed by his opponent as being bogus, and not binding on the democratic party-showing to an unprejudiced mind that this conven- tion was as fail as such assemblies usually are, and the largest, but one, that was ever held in the State. He showed also, that his opponents accepted the doings of part of the convention, as sound democracy, and were up to this day supporting them-but at the same time were denouncing him as the candidate of bogus convention. If one was part wrong, allWas wrong, and they should denouncc the whole. 5 We ourselves, not having taken any part in the warfare between the two wings of the party, pledged ourselves, honestly. and unequivocally to support the nominees of democratic conventions-national, state, district, county, etc--and we shall do so, aad abide the consequences. If the conven- ton system is wrong in principle, or in its practical workings, discard it altogether throw 1t overheard. But when men go into convention, and signify their assent to its action, they are in duty bound, by all principles of honesty, to submit to the will of the majority. We, perhaps, disliked the nomination of MT. Johnson, as much as any one, and regretted, that at this time, his friends should have asked it for him not because we were opposed to Mir. John son, personally, for we had no acquaintance

Address of Miss English, and the Reply
 of Capt. Churchill.

CAPTAIN CHURCHILL
 Deputed by the Young Ladies of this city to present to you, and through you to your company of brave and gallant HANGERS, the jag of our country, l have the honor to perform the pleas ing task assigned me. With their own hands they have prepared for you this beautiful BANNER OF FREEDOM the ENSIGN of our GREAT and GLORIOUS REPUBLIC, around which cluster memo ries of the heroic battles of the REvo- LUTON, in which the chains of the op- pressor were shirered by the strong arms and brdre hearts of MEN who preferred DEATH TO SLAVERY! It was to them the FIRE CROSS, streaming upon the unfettered winds, calling them from their hearth stones to the gory fields of battle, and cheering them on through sunshine and cloud, hunger and cold, tempest and flood until the Lion of the oppressor cowered to the proud bird of freedom on the plains of YORKTOWN.
 Around it also cluster undying memories of the war of lSl2-l5, when our country asserted and maintained the freedom of the seas, and taught the world that every vessel covered by the STARS AND STRIPES must plough the ocean unmolested!
 Around it also cluster fresh and un- fading memories of the victorious battle fields of MEXICO, on which our gallant soldiery chastised an enemy whose inrading foot had desecrated American soil, and attempted to tram pie on Ame, icam rights? Thither, SIR CAPTAIN, you and many other brave sons of the South, followed the jag of our country to vindicate her honor, and avenge her wrongs.
 Its stars symbolise the Union of Miyty-three soveregn but dependent sisters, bound together by common origin, common veal and common des tiny, which, like constellation of the siderial heavens, or brighter, more beautiful and harmonious because of the Union, but if severed, one star might rush madly upon another, or upon larger body, and be plotted from the heavens!
 Take it, Sir Captain, here the flag was handed to Capt. c. cherish, in peace, the glorious memories which cluster about it, and should the honor or defence of your country again de- mand your services, unfurl the banner 0f trecdom to the breeze, lead your gallant men to the field of conflict, and remember that your fair country women have tears for the fallen, smiles for the brave, and chaplets for the brows of the victorsl

For the True Democrat. Mitchell and Can't in Ashley---Total Route of the Disorganizers.

Yesterday being the day on which Mitchell and Can't, the two aspirants for congressional honors, were to address the good citizens of Ashley, the sturdy yeo- manry;of the county turned out in respec- table numbers to hear them.
 According to previous arrangements it devolved on Dr. Mitchell to open the discus sion hsre, which he proceeded to do in one of the most masterly and telling speeches that. we will venture to assert, has ever been delivered in South Arkansas.
 After desultory allusion to his stand ing and position as member of the great democratic party-of his long and we'll spent service in its glorious ranks, and of the manner in which he became candi- date for the high position to which he aspires, he paid his most profound respects to his young competitor, who has, it ap- pears, on some former occasion, pronounced the Dr. to be nothing more nor less than

From White County.

Messrs EpIToRs--Feelng deep interest m the welfare of our beloved State, having been raised on her soil thought would drop you a line to let you know the manner in which major- Es<be democracy of this county view the course of the grand crusading army of disorganizers, who are now making such bold and unprinciplec efforts @ break up the wise and patriotic policy of Gov. oOnwaz policy that has accomplished more real good foFhe State in the last seven years than all HIS predecessors combined, and inaugurate policy shleh, should the people suffer themselves so far 1Sed by those scheming tricksters as to sustain f~en, and thereby engraft the measures they pro ose the present generation would not live to see IeeX of the evil consequences flowing there. Om' To suppose the people possessei of no 'sner order of intelligence is to miss the mark S about as far as some of them will miss their scOlations at the approaching elections. The 'ue democracy are highly pleased with Col. John 0s address on State and Federal Politcs-they 1nk he is in the right channel--of one thing rest 'aasast, the body of the old guard ill White in- ead ostand fast by their colors until the battles Ssn' and victory won, notwithstanding the de- s'Nons of some of it's officers, things will assume POIeshat different phase when the hard-fisted O'A oi 'Oil get through laying by their crops and @inence Wiring the political cauldron, some will ea ma that for once they have reconed without 'e'1 hos'.

 Editor of True Democrat:
 To my astonishment, find my position in the Democratic party misunderstood among my friends, personal and political, in this section of the State, attributed to my connection with the Dover convention. Without remarking upon the difference in the resolutions printed and the resolutions as read in my hearing, l will say,-my position was fully understood at Dover in accepting the invitation rendered by reso- lution adopted by that convention. pub- licly stated, it would afford me pleasure to canvass the district in obedience to the resolution in support of Democratic prin- ciples and regular Democratic nominations; provided there was no issue between the onventions-State and district-or be. tween the nominees of the respective con- ventions. But distinctly stated, if there was any issue between them I would not take the stump in so suicidal war, if questions arose 1 was in favor of the party settling them. But it was not my pro. vince as Democrat to search for faults in the action of my friends, in order to aid in the defeat of my party, always believing that men and conventions, as long as they are composed of men, are not, and cannot in the nature of things, be perfect. I be- lieve organization is necessary, and there fore, from principle take the lesser evil; shall support Johnson and Hindmap, may be more active for Johnson than Hindman, for the reason Hindman has no real oppo- sition. l do not pretend to say by my &C., tion that errors against Democratic organi- zation are herely indorsed, but such errors like family feuds should be settled at home.
 I hope you will publish this, in order that it may not be supposed that I would, or could, desert friends simply because Col. Hindman carried the northern district.
 Yours, etc. q

HoRRIBLE.-A man with an umbrella in his hand called at Senator Summers lodg- ings on Monday and inquired if MT. Sum- ner was in? Senator Wilson was imme- diately sent for, who, upon reaching the spot, at once asked the man standing in the entry what he wanted of Mir. Sumner?- The man replied he had little bill against him for tapping pair of boots. Wilson examined the bill, said it was correct, and Sumner paid it, whereupon the worthy cobbler spread his umbrella and left Burlingame soon arrived, but found no blood upon the floor.
 P. s. Another man called the next day! But no danger is apprehended; Burlingame Is there.
 Burlingame sleeps with Summers great toe in his hand to save the Senator from personal harm.

with him-but because the persVonal war fare waged between the two factions was running so high, that we deemed it for fhe harmony of the party, that some other mar should be selected. The convention assem- bled, thought different, and we submitted | to their decision as all convention demo- crats, having the best interest of the party at heart, should do.
 On the Pacific railroad question, Mir. Johnson declared himself in favor of the 35th parallel route, and any thing he could do to further its completion, as Governor of the State, if elected, would be done.- On the subject of State aid, but little was said. He was in favor of the State lend- ing aid to internal improvements, after the State debt is paid. His plan for paying the indebtedness of the State was the most practical of the two--under its workings, however, 1t would be years before internal improvements would receive much help from the State.
 After discussing national politics, bank hobby, etc, for a short time, Mir. J ohnson gave away for Judge Rector, who is a very good speaker, has easy manners, and seem ed to make good impression on the public mind. He, like his opponent, discussed the State convention, denouncing it and proved to his own mind, no doubt, that it was libel on the people, and disgrace to the State. He denied that he was one of the |" family" and that he had been in of flee for twenty years past, as had been charged upon him by the editor of the Folt Smith Parallel-and positively asserted, that between three and four years, was all the time he had held office of emolument in the State. He too, was in favor of the 35th parallel route for the Pacific railroad, and granting State aid to help build the Fort Smith and Little Rock branch; and if elect ed would do all in his power to favor the policy ofinternal improvements. Hts plum tor paying the State de5t, and ct tue same time helping the roitrood companies, seemed to us customary and impractica5le. On na- tional politics, there was no visible differ ence of opinion between them-both, we believe indorsed the resolutions of the State convention.

From the Arkansas Baptist. / THE COLLEGE.

/To THE BAprIsTs AND TIE FRIENDS OF EDUCATIoN GENERALLY IN ARKANSAS At the session of the Arkansas Bap- tist State Convention held in lS57-- being the 10th anniversary-the fol- lowing Resolutions in regard to the raising of a College Fund in Arkan- sas was adopted: in the following March, 1858, l entered upon the Col lege Agency and have been actively engaged ever since.
 When l undertook the work, the enterprise was new to the citizens generally, and was compelled to enter into an elaborate description and argument with the large majority of those with whom 1 conversed on the subject. Then we had no State paper and consequently our facilities for making our purpose known, were very inadequate; but as time has ad- vanced changes have been wrought the College endowment in most parts of the State, has become a house hold word.
 This extension of knowledge is ow- ing to the interest taken in this Edu- caiional enterprise by our Associa- tions which have mostly passed reso- lutions recommending warmly the undertaking, by our denominations paper, and by the Agents. Brother Lea's numerous engagements have prevented his laboring as extensively so far for the College as he had in tended to do.
 But shall now insert the Resolu- tions above referred to-these are at the foundation of the enterprise, and the Bonds taken are all taken in ac- cordance with their tenor. nl
 REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.
 "Feeling and seeing the great ne cessity of educating the rising genera tion in our State, and more especial ly that of our young ministers, and believing we should not send either our money or young ministers out oi our State, we would recommend the folio wing resolutions:
 Resolred, That we build up and endow a first class male College, al some suitable point in our State. ,t
 Resolued, That we will raise, as an endowment fund, $l0O,OOO by scholar ships of $500 each, and by subscrip- tiOns.
 Rcsolred. That no subscriptions or scholarships shall be considered due until the Sl00,00O endowment fund be secured.
 Resolvcd, That all cash subscrip- tions of $50, and under, shall be appropriated for College building agents salary, &c
 Rcsolrcd, That as soon as the SlOO,- 900 endowment fund is raised, all scholarships and subscriptions shall be considered due, and shall be paid in, or the donors shall pay annually ten per cent. on his or her subscrip- ton or scholarship
 Resolued, That we will appoint one or more agents for the purpose oi the endowment fund, who shall canvass the State.
 Resolred .furt1tey, That in locating the College *e *> < and all other important matters rela- tive thereto, which may require a vote of those concerned, that one hun. dred dollars shall be necessary to en- title any one to vote, and that every donor shall be entitled to one vote fol every hundred dollars subscribed; and that donors and those who take schol. arships may vote by proxy; and two thirds of said votes present at any meeting of the Convention, ehall de-
