To the Democracy of Arkansas.
MEMPHIS, July 20. 1860


 Felloac Citizens: learn on arriving here on my way home, and by conversing with some of our distinguished democrats, that circumstances connected with the good of the great national democratic party, requires that State convention of the party should be called at the earliest practicable moment, to take into consideration matters of the greatest moment touching the well being of the party, and especially to nominate na- tional democratic electors, pledged to the support of the nominees of the party, Doug las and J Johnson. Being one of the national democratic committee, it becomes my duty to make that call The national democra- cy must have ticket of their own "strai ght out" Let our motto be, no compromise with boters, no striking hands with sece- ders They have left the party and let them go. then propose Monday, the 3d day of September next, as the day, and Little Rock the place of holding convention of the national democracy of the State, who mean to stand by, and defend to the last gasp, Il e nominees of the party, in Stephen A. Douglas and Herschell V Johnson.
 Democrats of Arkansas: l know you will cheerfully respond to this call on your patriotism, by calling at an early day your county meetings, for the appointment of delegates to your State convention. De mocrats, the integrity of your time-bonor- ed party endangered, and even this days revolving sun twelve months hence, may not, and probably will not find you the same united. prosperous, happy people, that this days sun leaves you. And all these horrors brought on you by the disaffection of i'm patient malcontcnts. disorganizers, right in the bosom of the party. Then to the rescue all shall be with you.
 Your ob't. humble servant. T. B. FLOURNOY.

 The facts in relation totfe difficulty that occurred at Baltimore between Col. T. C. Hindman and Wm. NJ. Hooper, esq, not being correctly understood by some citizens of A kansas, take this mode of stateing them, having been present at the time of the difficulty. and an eye witness to the whole affair:
 Before the committee on credentials, Mir. Hooper, of the bogns delegation, while sd vocating the admission of himself and two colleagues. offered fonr distinct insults to Col. ilindman, who appeared for the regu- lar delegates. The insults were:
 First-An assertion that the regular con- ventions were composed of demagogues, tricksters, and political petifoggers.
 Second-Shaking his finger menacingly in Col Hindman's face, who pushed Hooper's hand away.
 Thir l.-Repeating the offensive gesture, when his hand was again pushed angrily away by Col Hindman.
 Fourth-Using language of this purport: "This man Hooking at Col Hindm n says our delegation does not represent the democracy. The statement is false; re- peat, the statement is unqualifedly false. :"
 Thereupoh Col. Hindman arose, without saving a word, and slapped Mir. Hooper violently on the face. Hooper offered no further resistance than to drop his hand to his pockets. as if to draw weapon. but exhibited none, when Col. Hindman par tially drew pistol. The members of the committee then interfered and prevented further collision, Col. Hindman all the time disclaiming any intent to do more than he had done.
 When order was restored Col. Hindman apologized to the committee for the breach of order, but made no apology to Mir. Hooper, saying that the insults given by

LACoNIA, August 1st, 1860. To the Democracy of Arkansas.

FelLoW Citizens: On arriving at Memphis on my way home, issued call to you, for State convention to be held at Little Rock on the 3l of September next. That call will be before you II. day or two, 1 now learn that it conflicts with another, on the part of our friends for a previous day. l regret this thing, but as l cannot think shorter notice than 3l September, would enable our friends to hold their pri- mary meetings. and meet in full convention, 1 do not feel at liberty to shorten the time, and beg of oul friends to acquesce in that call and send up delegations
 I find very many communications accu- mulated in my absence-many from old and tried friends, and more from gentlemen that have not the pleasure of knowing at all, all on the DonlaS question, and giving me assurance of their kindly appreciation touching my course in the late conventions of Charleston and Baltimore. wish 10 thank these gentlemen for this kindly ex- preSsion of their approhation, and if comes most gratefully to me now, romminded as they are with denominations 'oud and dcep. through some of those filthy little fire eating presses of the southeast. who are so in famed with me, that I wonder they are not consumed by spontaneous combustion. I followed instructions and if l am crnsur- able at all 1t can only hr that l refused to commit my dear adopted State to the cause of disunion If l am blamed for that. whilst think it hard. have to submit in silence; still have the consolation left, of knowing that my conrse on the occasion alluded to meets with the decided, settled approval of my own judgment, thank God
 must say to my kind friends, that pre- vious engagements will not permit me to remain in the State longer than the Sth instant, and as cannot answer all their letters, l must beg of them to accept this as an answer to them. The two communica- tions to appearabou, this time in the press, under my signature, will be in most in- stances an answer of themselves. In reply to the generally expressed wish that I should go on the electoral ticket, have to say no, for the reason, that my engage ments carry me out of the State until the first of October, and our electors should take the field at once. For if the people are informed on this subject, they will ef- fcctually wipe out all disunion feeling by the ist of November, and for the further reasons. that it will strengthen the great cause in which we are engaged-the n- tegrity of the democratic party and the Union of the States. For I promised to labor just as faithfully in the great cause from the first of October until the election. as though the responsibilities of m electo, were upon me.

the latter left him no other alternative than to resent them as he had done. The apolo- gy was formally accepted by the committee.
 MT. Hooper then explained that he had not intended to apply the term false'' to any statement made by Col. Hindman, but to the statements proposed be made by a witness, whom Col Hindman had offered to introduce, but was refused leave to do so by the committee.
 Col Hindman did not attack Mr. Hooper " stealthily." but stepped directly in front of him before skipping him on the face.- Nor did Col. Hindman retreat" or Gre tire;" members of the committee and other persons seized him and pulled him away some six or eight feet. Mir. Hooper did not strike or advance towards Col. Hind man, or offer to do either

DIED-ln this county, on the 29th of July, Mrs. CATHANNE SowELL, the wife of MT. Jason Sowell, in the SOth year of her age, leaving an affection ate husband and quite small infant, father mo- ther, one brother and two sisters to mourn their deplorabe loss. Truly may it be said that her husband has lost worthy and an affectonate wife for to her age she not to be surpassed by any; and is christian, she good and pious wo- man. Sine made a profession of religion in the Methodist church about two years previous to her death and joined that church, and has been an efficient member ever since, and on her death bed she bore all her sufferings with christian forttude and admonished her husband and all her relatives and friends to meet her in heaven.
 We'll may it be said that we have lost good woman; for often have we heard it remark ed that they were as happy couple as could be joined to- sether-they were beliked by all who knew them. It is to be hoped she is singing her melodious songs in heaven. D. w. $. PULASKI CO.,, ARK, August, 1860.

| gentlemen to use their influence to effect 6 revolutionary movement that is to plunge the land in strife and bloodshed. To divide the democratic party at juncture like this, is paving the way simply to disunion. It IS merely electing in advance the black re- publican candidates for the presidency, and furnishing reason (of which there are al. ready too many to use for precipitating the country into internecine war. It is for the democracy of Arkansas to decide whether their connection with the national demo- cratic party is to be sundered It is for them to decide whether the principles on which they achieved their glorious victories in 1852 and 1856, are not good enough for 1860.
 Now, democrats of Arkansas, have dis. charged what regarded solemn duty, as your delegate, and leave it with you to follow your own convictions of right. If you mean to stand by your good old dem ocratic party, by its usages and its princi pies; ii you mean to stand by your country, Tn the Union of these States, you can only do so by voting for the regular nominees of the party, Douglas and Johnson. Then, if all the horrors to which Mir. Yancey pro- poses to subject his country, by precipitat- ing it into revolution, must come, you can stand serenely amid the storm and strife that must ensue; hear with composure the trumpet's clangor and the cannon's roar, and if your country must go down in ruin, you can stand amid the disiointed and broken fragments of its wreck, calm, self poised, and in the language of Macbeth to the ghost of the murdered Banquo truly say, "shake not thy goary locks at me, thou canst not say did it."
 With the highest consideration of regard, I am,
