State indebtedness on account of the State Bank in internal improvements, which Is generally believed can be done. He pro- poses to use all honorable means to llqui- date the debt, and if the people must at last be taxed to pay it., to make it as easy on them as possible. His policy is to aroid taniag Me people 10 any greater en- lent tlan IS necessary 10 nay the necessary and legitimate expenses of the GoUernment, as the Constitution directs-to encourage education among the masses; and, in short, to elevate, by liberal and enlIght- ened policy, the people and State to first class position in the Union. Judge Rec tor does not favor a resort to shave the bond-holders nt fifty cents in the dollar, as does MT. Johnson"
 Col. JoHNsoN's speech was, in the main, a repetition of his address which we pub lished last week, every important position of which was fully met by Judge RECTOR.
 There is no comparison between the two men. Judge REcTon is an easy and fluent speaker, while Col. JOHNSON Is dull and prosy. The impression made upon the public mind, after their respective ad- dresses, was decidedly favorable to Judge RrcroR. That he will carry Prairie coun- ty by an overwhelming majority, the JoHN- SON men readily admit
 Judge RECTOR is confident that he will carry the First District by a large majori- ty. The war of the Conway.J Johnson clique upon the gallant HrNDMAN has seal ed their political doom in that portion Of the State. Let the voters of the Second District do their duty to themselves and the State, and move as mass for RECTOR for Governor, and CAN'T for Congress, and the State of Arkansas will, in truth, be "REDEEMED, REGENERATED AND DIs- ESTHaALLEp "

 Democrats, Read This.

Jesse N. Cypert, Esq, an old Whig, candidate for Congress, against Col. T. c, Hindmun, said in his speech at Huntsville, Madison County, July 1, lS60,--
 That he did not believe what Col. Hind man had said of the Johnsons was true.
 That Gov. Conway's bank policy was good, and he told his Whig brethren that the faci of MT Johnson's nomination should not prejudice them againt him, but to judge between the two candidates for Governor solely on their bank policy-they being equal in every other respect
 He asks his Whig and Know Nothing friends if they could think about support ing Col. Hindman, who has abused them time and again, and then declared that Judge Rector was brought out by Col. Hindman. Therefore oppose him too. ;
 He denounced the Dover Convention, but said not aught against the State Com vention! af 91 stoot''
 He said he had no hopes of being elect ed when he started out.
 What did he come out as candidate for if he had no hopes of being elecled ?
 Why did he recommend Governor Con ways policy, and then tell his friends to judge between the two candidates solely on iher bank policy
 Why did he prejudice the Wings and Know Nothing agains, Col. Hindman, and then declare that Judge Rector was brought out by Col. Hindman
 Answer these questions, and then say, MT, Cypert was not brought out by Dick Johnson. for the purpose of prejudicing the Wings and -Nothings against Judge Rector. Ah its too plain a case.

 Cor. DAvIE's LErTER.-We invite a perusal of the letter of Col. Jno. c. Davie which we publish in to.days paper. It IS manly and straightforward statement of the difficulties which have surrounded .hlm and prevented his return in time to parli- cipate in the recent canvass for RcpreSen- tative in this county. We maintain that the people of Prairie County will realise more advantage in sending Col. Davie to the Legislature than they would in send ing both of the other aspirants. While we admit that they are good citizens, and have the right 10 seek the office, yet, we prefer a pan who by his superiority of mind has shown that he is capable of filling the position to which his fellow-citizens have called him. Col. Davie has not sought the office-he did not seek the nomna- tion-on the contrary. he has ever hereto fore shown disposition to stand aside and permit others to enjoy the honors and emoluments accruing therefrom. His name was brought forward as compromise in the convention, and he was nominated by exclamation. The people should not be deceived by the chicanery and manage ment of tricksters, but adhere to Col. Da- vie. who will have more weight and com mand more respect in Legislative As sembly, than any other of the names now before the people for Representative from Prairie County in the next General As sembly of the State of Arkansas.

BALTIMORE, June 20, 1860.

HoS T. c. HTNDmAN,
 DEAF SrR: In answer to your inquiry Of this date, have to say that was present at Madison, in St. Francis county, Arkansas, on the 18th inst, being en route to Washingtoh city. While there, at about twelve o'clock M. heard a bell ringing, and asked the notei keener what it meant He replied that he did nof know that he supposed there was to be some sort of meeting. 1 then went to the place of meeting, and found Douglas convsen- tion or mass meeting in session. The number of persons present l estimated at between one and two hundred, of whom there were ten CT twelve stage passengers from Little ROCK, ana some twenty or thirty railroad passengers from Memphis, who were on a iisning excur- sion, as l was informed. The remainder were for the most part, citizens of the town. or ap- peared to be. except some fifteen or twenty. The number taking part ip the proceedings did not. in my opinion, exceed fifteen or twen- tv. The meeting proceeded to adopt series of resolutions, and to appoint delegates to the Baltimore Convention.
 Very respectfully,
 au ROBERT c. HILL, U. s. Army.
 I have feltit incumbent on me to address you this communication, in justice to the genuine Democracy of Arkansas, and their duly ap- pointed delegates. The delegation for whom | sneak insist upon their right to admission, without test-oaths or obligations, and upon terms of perfect equality with the regular del eeates from other States. Their loyalty to their constituents, to Democratic principles, and to the best interests of the whole coun- try, will induce them to advocate the adoption of sounl platform, and the nomination of sound candidates and to the support of such a platform, and the election of such candi- dates, they hazard nothing in pledging an over whelming majority in Arkansas-the banner Democratic State of the Union.
 I have the honor to be your ob't serv't,
 T. c. HINDMAN.

 The Eindman and Hooper Affair.

Several Democratic @ papers of the State having grossly misrepresented the facts connected with the encounter be- tween Col Hindman and one MT. Hoop CT, at Baltimore, during the session of the late National Convention, and an errone- ous impression having, by consequence, been made upon the public mind, we are pleased to have it'in our power to publish the following letter from MT.

THE CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR
 DISCUSSION AT BROWNSVILLE.

--Ol6OOOGAVN RA ROWNC AAL1S.
 On Friday last, according to appoint ment Messrs. JOHNSON and REcroR, the
 candidates for Governor, addressed their felow-citizens of Prairie county at Browns vile. aca
 About half past ten o'clock the people assembled in the Court House. This ca- pacious building was filled with as large and intelligent crowd as we have ever seen in the county. ap ils
 Judge REcroR led off in a speech of abou.two and half hours. We will not attempt to follow him through the various points he made in his speech, as we could not do him justice. Those who heard him, without an exception, acknowledged his superiority over his competitor in eve " point of view. He showed clearly and unequivocally that RICHARD H. JOHNSON IS not the nominee of the Democracy of Arkansas, and that the party, norno mem- Der of it, are under any political or moral obligation 10 support Dick, In connection with his pretended nomination.. He de- monstrated, beyond the shodow of doubt, that the counties of Benton, Van Buren, Green and Lawrence were fraudulently cast for Johnson in the packed, pre-ar- ranged and msnamed State Convention. He handled the various fraudulent actings and doings of that convention in manner that made the friends of Johnson present quake for the fate of the man to whom they are welded, in hope of future reward at the hands of .'the fansiiy." He show ed that "Conway's bank policy" was a humbug of the deepest dye. He charged Gov. Conway with pocketing the bill of the last Legislature, which reduced the rate of taxation from one-siGh to one tenth of one per cent, and it will be re- membered that Richard H. Johnson de- tended and justified Gov. Conway in this procedure, upon the ground that surplus in the treasury would be necessary, in or der to protect the sales of the Real Estate morlgaged lands against speculators.- The Johnsonians have been driven from their position of raising surplus revenue 10 enabie the SIate 10 become compeulor for the purchase of the Real Estate mort gagged lands, and compelled to fall back upon the old hobby of "making the assets of the bank pay the banks debts.' When asked how they are going to accomplish that, they answer: "Foreclose the States mortgages, which were executed by the to indemnify the State against any loss which she might sustain as sure ty of the bank, in the event of the banks failure to pay ils bonds when they become due.' Every lawyer in the State is fully appraised that the State cannot proceed to foreclose those mortgages, which were ex- ecuted to the State as the surety of the bank, until the State suffers loss by be- ing compelled to pay the banks debts, or until she comes in legal possession of the bonds; until then, the State can never le- gally sustain an action to foreclose.

 Upon my arrival here, learning that reports of the affair between Hon. T. c. Hindman and Mir. Hooper were in circulation, in which in justice is done to the former gentleman by per- yerting the facts, deem it my duty, as an EYE WITNESS, to make the following statement, and to request of you, in justice to MT. Hindman, that it be published in your paper:
 Col. Hindman appeared before the commit tee on credentials. advocating the admission of the regular delegates, and MT. Hooper appeared as advocate for the bogus delegation.
 MT. Hooper, while addressing the commit tee, repeatedly used offensive words and ges- lures towards Col. Hindman, before the latter took any notice of them. First-he said that the regular conventions were composed of de- magogaes, tricksters and political pettifoggers exclusively.
 Second-he shook his finger in Col. Hind mans face, who pushed it away. .
 Third-he again shook his finger in Col Hindman's face, who once more pushed It away. Fourth--he said, looking at Col Hindman, "this man says we do not represent the Democracy, and that not more than one hundred and fifty persons took part in our meeting. The statement is false-grossly false.n
 Col. Hindman upon this arose from his seat, stepping directly in front of Mir. Hooper, and slapped him with violence on the face, at the next instant partially drawing pistol. Col, Hindman's friends immediately surrounded him and drew him back some six or eight feet. Mir. Hooper did not return the blow or attempt to do SC, nor did he make any hostile demon stration whatever.
 Order being restored, Col. Hindman apolo- gized to the committee for the disturbance, but not to Mir. Hooper. MT. Hooper explained that he had not intended to stigmatize any statement made by Col. Hindman as false, bnt to apply that term to a witness whom Col. Hindman wished to introduce to prove the smallness of the Madison mass meeting.
