Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-06-30

!" Afterwards, at the earnest solicitation of Mir.
 Mitchels friends, Col Gantt's friend. assented to it, feeling that they were equally a safe beore tbe peopie "i'hout' as with the nomination of the con- venuon' Magnanimous conduct. In the first piace they' (Ganttites) prevented the adoption of | the resolution, we'll knowing they had the power, III 'ne second place they generously consented to i'' ieeiihs as safe," etc. o, Can't. Gantt.. this eui'or oi the Traveller will immortalze you-make you Ho"drd in politics! You had the nomina- 'ion Tn your own hands by 79 of majority, all Ano"h and counted, and your delegates drilled to
 gnats eye'' in the line of duty, the important moment for nomination close at hand, when suddenly overcome with spirit of noble generosi. ty' you consented to your friends throwing away me nomination, only because, according to the ar tlcie of the sapient editor of the Traveller the glory of the victory would be immmeasurably en- hanced by going directly to the people at large..v'
 The greater portion of the remaining editorials Tn the Traveller are devoted to abuse of the True Democrat for preferin3 3EIitchel to Gantt-calls it " "d'ctation," etc. Now Mr. Traveller the democ racy of ths county, seem to think, as far as have heardexpression ofopnon, that the True Democrat had as much right to prefer Mitchell as you had to prefer Can't, and the siH tub cry of dictaon. cgue. Ja'afy' oppressors, etc., having paternity well kno'on that if you don't cease to use the phrases, they will class you with Borand, Danley, ct Id onine genus! But pray Mir. Traveller, what is die tahon? When and where has the True Democrat ever said, democrats you shall vote for this man; you shall not vote for that man?, When has that paper failed or faltered to support a nominee of the party? When has it proved recreant to de mocratic principles by hoisting the name of an in- dependent over a regularly nominated democratic candidate? Point out the number of the paper and the article.
 In thls case, no nomination being made by the convention, the voters of the district, and the pa pers were left free to choose. You choose Can't. Has any one accused you of dicSating to the party? or what right would any have to do so? The True Democrat has done no more than this, only itpreters Mitchell. What right then nave you to accuse 1t? An, 1.-the True Democrat says Can't has joined the dis0ganisers. This then is it's of fence-this is dictation. We'll sir do you deny it? hat are his chances for escaping the truth of the charge? Where was he in '522 did he vote for the democratic nominee then, or for Smithson?-- Who are his present right and left supporters?-- Peek! Peek! Is not Mir. Peek a disorganizer?- Has he not repudiated the action of the State con yention in nominating a candidate for Governor, and while he admits that candidate to be the nom- nee has pulled down his name and hoisted that of an independent candidate? If this does not prove NIT. Peek disorganizer then in the name of con- mon sense what would? And led on by such man, with every disaflected democrat, every per diemist and nearly all odds and ends of political parties bringing up the rear; why, to say the least
 if Mr. Can't is not justly chargeable a disorgan. zer, the company he keeps and the support he is receiving, attaches to him a suspicion, almost as strong as certainty. But MT. Traveller, will make a witness of yourself. Suppose the Ark kadelp phia convention had nominated Mitchell, would Can't have run notwithstanding? And if he had forced himself upon the democracy in spite of the conven tion, would he have been a disorganizer? Now, sir turn to your editorial in the paper before me headed, "Col. Gantt's Prospects," and there you pen and publish plain intimation that such would have been Col. Gantts course, and you apparently counsel it! Are you, too, disorganizer? con less this looks very much like it. I do not say that you or the great body of the voters who may support MT. Can't disorganizers, and have only run into this chain of reasoning to show the absur- dity of the charge of dictation made against the True Democrat, simply because the editor of that paper views MT. Can't as belonging to the party headed by Peek.
 had intended in this article ts have reviewed the position of the two aspirants upon the terrto- rial slavery question, and to show that Mr. Can't is not sound on this question; but the unfair man. ner of the editor of the Traveller in his argumen- tation, has taken up so much room, that must de- fer it to some future time.
 Meanwhile, Mir. Editor, it would be we'll to re- member that Gall is not gold that glitters." Mr. Gantts friends, taking pattern from head quarters, are blowing lustily; and did one believe aH they sAy, Mitchell would get but few votes I shall be much mistaken if the democracy of this district elect man known and confessed to be affiliated with that party, which proposes to saddle the people with the payment of the bank debts, and le the banks go free over one who is in favor of further ing and carrying out the policy of present Gov ernor on this subject
