PopE Co.,. Jan 9 1880

PopE Co, Jan ?, 1860. MR. EDIToR:-The severe cold weather has prevented the people from meeting to- gether often, and there has not been that interchange of opinion there would have been otherwise. The agent of Hindman' S organ, the o. L. D., has succeeded in giv- ing away good many numbers of that pa per, but the readers are getting awfully tired of the cringing subserviency of that paper to the little politician.
 In late number of the New York Day. Book I see it stated that Col A. NJ. Will son is in the field for Congress, and that he is early in the field. The Day Book seems to be ignorant of the fact that Hind man had canvassed the greater part of the district long before Col Wilson made a speech, and the latter did not then appear before the people until requested to ad- dress them. Tell the Day-Book that in consequence of the defection of Hindman the democratic people of North Arkansas intend to supercede him with good dem ocrat and true. No matter what may be told you, you may set down Pope county for Wilson. The democratic masses are sound, and are tired of disorganizers, es- pecially at time when harmony is so much needed.
 am told that a fatal affray occurred at Dover on the last day of the year, between James Edwards and Thomas Raney, in which the former was killed or mortallv wounded. l have not yet heard the cause of the quarrel or any of the particulars.

Jail Delivery,

r On last Sunday night. the 10th instant. the Jail of this, Carroll county, was broken, and its contents turned loose upon the country; consisting of four prisoners; one by the name of WooDy, put in for poisoning horse; one by the name of ELLIOTT, or Red Jdcket for horse steal ing; one by the name of MCCAIN, in for forgery; and lastly, not least, one GEORGE C. GORDON, at one time a very conspic- uous individual in this community, having served as clerk of the circuit court for the term of four years, and was one of the members from this county in the popular branch of the last State legislature. He was confined in jail under Mree 5iHs of indicment found at our last circuit court. tDo of them were for FORGERY, and one for getting, whilst clerk, a bill of indict- ment out of the office against Hudson, for an assault with the intent to kill and murder. Gordon is man we'll calculated to impose upon almost any community; easy and persuasive in his manners, very fluent in conversation, talks politics freely at times; smokes segars, drinks bcd aOhiskey, and plugs cards tor c hvelihood!
 Any intormation given me of Gordon's whereabouts will be thankfully received and the informant literally compensated for his trouble
 You will give this an insertion in the Arkansian, with the request that other pa pers copy or notice, so that other commu- mites may be on their guard against such impostors.

From the New York Day Book. Absurdlty of "Slave Insurrections.

we desire to direct the attention of our readers to the following correspondence, ana the interesting letter of Dr. Cartwright. The precise facts called for, it is true, are not yet stated, but the account given of the proceedings of Gen. Jackson at New Or leans will doubtless be new to most of our readers and will we'll repay perusal. Ev- erybody living in the midst of slave" populations must feel that such thing as q slave" instruction is simply absrtrd nevertheless, the theories and vagaries of ''antl-savery'' writers have so perverted the mlnd ot the nation on the general sub- lect, that multitudes of people, even in the South, reason in the same vicious circle q . the anti -slaveryites:
 NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 1859
 DEAR SIR-l have freouentlv had occ, sion to assert that what has been called a slave instruction in Hayti or San Domin- go, was misrepresentation of British writers, as, indeed, everything else con. nected with negro slavery is misrepresented by these writers and their miserable imita- tors, dupes and tools among ourselves. I think iyou once informed me that when vis ltlng Europe, some years ago, you took especial pains, both at London and Paris, to obtain the real facts of that extraordi- nary affair, and certainly the time has come when the truth should be known in regard to it, as well as in respect to the ten thousand other falsehoods that have been imposed on the ignorance and credulity of mankind by the stupendous abolition i'm posture of our times. If, therefore, you can furnish me with brief statement of these facts (for publication) you may do pubic service, as well as personally oblige, very truly yours, etc.,

 GENTLEMEN: Your letter of the 30th ult., addressed to me through the True Demo crat, requesting me to become a candidate before the Dover convention for the nomi- nation for Congress was not received until yesterday.
 In reply to your letter I need only refer you to my letter of the 10th inst, publish ed in the Van Buren Press of the l6th inst, in answer to the letter of several highly re- spectable citizens of Crawford county, ask ing leave to present my name before the Dover convention for the nomination refer red to, i'll which l consented to become candidate.
 In my letter expressed the hope that the primary meetings to be held in the dis trict forthe purpose appointing delegates to the Dover convention, would be fully attended, so that fair expression of pub lie sentiment in the choice of candidate might be had, and thereby avoid dissatis- faction among the people after the nomina- ton shall be made.
 | In view of the alarming extent to which an interruptions fanaticism has driven the masses in most of the northern States, 1 agaln take occasion to express the earnest desire that the people, not only of this con- gfessional district, but also of every other congressional district throughout the south, may lay aside their unimportant differences and act in concert for their common safety. Until this is done, l fear that our rights under the federal constitution will not be duly respected at the north. To effect among us the feeling which should guide us, the calm and unbiased judgment of the masses should be consulted in the selection of candidates for high place. In common with you and others who venerate our fede. Ial compact, l regret to behold the wild spirit of abolitonism which unfortunately overShadows the northern States, and which threatens the safety of the Union; unless right reason take the place of ultra ism in high places, our free institutions must soon undergo revolution. To my mind It is certain that the perpetuity ofthis government, :and under it, the'fsecurity of equal rights among the several States of the Union, depends upon the success of the de- mocratic party, there being no other party to hold in check " the higher law" ire pressible conflict" black republican party Every well wisher of the country must therefore feel that the proper spirit of har mony in the democratic party, especially in the south, is consideration of much greater moment 10 the country than the mere nomination of this or that man for of flee. " Principle and not men" has always been a motto of the democratic party, and l trust it will not now be forgotten in this hour of peril.
 l repeat then, let the primary meetings throughout the district be fully attended, let the people express their choice of candi- dates for the position to which you ask me to aspire, and with their decision l shall be content.
 For the expression of your kind parti- ality for me, accept the grateful acknowl- edgments of your ob't serv't, A. M WILSON.

 Gents: Your letter of the 7th inst, has been received, requesting the use of my name to become a candidate for the high anu distinguished position of Governor of the State of Arkansas, and submitting the same before the democratic State conven- tlon which Is to meet on the 1st Monday of April next, at Little Rock.
 l can but return you my sincere thanks for the appreciation of my humble abilities in connection with the high position you desire to assign me. 1 have also received several communications on the same sub .ject, from personal and political friends, urging the use of my name in connection with the candidacy for the office of Go- vernon. -.-..
 In reply to all my friends on this sub ject, 1 would say that my record and my services as member of the legislature for several past sessions are all familiar to a large portion of the people, and they have some knowledge of what has been done and l feel satisfied that they will be able to form correct judgment, and whatever that judgment shall be 1 will cheerfully submit
 Should the people, through their dele gates in the State convention, from their partiality, think proper to confer on me the nomination for the office of Governor of the State, 1 shall not feel disposed to re- fuse the high position assigned me; and will accept the nomination, and with my humble abilities will make canvass of the State pending the election.
 SlOuld the convapt;o,, some other gentleman for the biob nosi. tion of being their standard bearer in inc coming election, can assure you that if will be my highest pleasure to give him a warm and cordial support. Tendering to you gentlemen, my highest regard,

DR. VAN EvRIE-Dear Sir Ever since l read your letter, of the 11th inst, I have been overwhelmed with professional en- agreements, and have not had time to send you the history of Hayti. You are right in supposing that there never was an in. surrection of the negroes against their white masters in that island or anywhere else. Subordination to the white man is as natural to the negro as subordination of children to their parents, or women to men. Instances of re5ellious attempts to break the bonds of any one of these three several natural relations, are exceptions to the general rule, and are confined to one or very few individuals, and neuer enabrace phole communities The pensmen of all the American histories, most generally read, have not been Americans, or persons imbued with the spirit of American inde- pendence, but Anglomen and Philo- Anglo men, moved by the spirit which directs British policy. British policy demanded the Africanization of Hayti to transfer the indigo culture from that island to the Brit ish East Indies. The Anglomen histo- rians instead of calling the Africanization of Hayti by it's right name, called 1t Hay
 ten independence. liberty and republican ism. Africa makes no Indigo, and the East India Company knew that Hayti would make no Indigo if Africanized.- put the historians, by giving the names h. dependence, Liberty and Republication to what was, m reality, Africanization, led the world to believe that negro freemen would do more work for themselves than

Willard Fillmore.

Several of the opposition presses in the south, and one or two in Arkansas, have indorsed Mir. Fillmore as a sound man, in fact "a northern man with southern prin- clples.' At the great Union meeting in New York, letter from MT. Fillmore was read. We give the two closing para graphs and call the attention of his ad mlrers in the south to the part we have italicized. i
 "l can not but hope that the fate of John Brown and his associates, will deter all others from any unlawful attempt to interfere in the domestic affairs of a sister State. But this tragedy has now closed and Virginia has vindieated the supremacy ot her laws, and shown that she is quite competent to manage her own affairs, and protect her own rights. And thanks to an Ouerrul.ng Providence, this question about slavery Tn Kansas is now also settled, and settled sn tovor cf freedom. The north has triumphed, and having triumphed, let her, by her magnanmity and generosity to her southern brethren, show that the contest on her part was one of principle, and not of personal hatred, or the low ambition of a sectional triumph.
 Finally if l had the power to speak, and there were any disposed to listen to my counsel, l would say to my brethren of the south: Be not alarmed, for there are few, very few, at the north who would justify in any manner an attack upon the in stitutions of the south which are guaranteed by the constitution. We are oU ami -slaverv in sentiment, but we know we have nothing to do with it in the several states, and we re do not intend to interfere with it. And I would say to my brethren of the north re- E spect the rights of the south; assure then, by your acts that you regard them as friends and brethren. And would con- jure all, in the name of all that is sacred to let this agitation cease with the causes
