Pulaski Democracy and the Old Line
 Democrat.

puIa6Kl UemoCIacy Snu tA0 VAu AAA0 Democrat.
 MT. Peek. editor of the Old Line Demo- crat, has issued two numbers of his paper since the meeting of the Pulaski county de- mocracy, and, in neither of them, has he given the slightest evidence of disposition to support the nominees. On the contra ", by complainings and insinuations, he paIpably shows that he would rejoice in a know nothing triumph over them. We are not surprised at this, for we all along expected and have often predicted it, Mir. Peek is not with the democracy of Pu- laski county, or any other democracy that does not own Hindman as its lord and master; but his hopes, his feelings and his affiliations are with their know nothing enemies. His hand is against the democ- raey always, and his purpose is their over throw. Such democracy, and such alone, ss is exhibited in Crawford county, which makes all offices, from Governor down to constable, subservient to Mir. Hindman' s wishes, is the only kind of democracy he will sustain and support.
 In this county. Slr. Peek is linked in with the enemies whom the democracy of Pulaski county have had to oppose and fight at every election. If the democracy of Pulaski conquer next August. they will 1 have it to do over the combined forces rep resented by the Gazette, the know nothing organ, and the Old Line Democrat, the or gan of the disorganizers.
 Mr. Peek does not complain of the con vention That he cannot do, for 1t was fair and open to all democrats. Sufficient no- tice was given, and every democrat Tn the county was invited and urged to attend. It was public to all. Its action was in the usual form, and its nominees are popular and unquestioned democrats. It nomlnat- ed full ticket and the nominees have been enthusiastically received by the democracy
 
 then can be Mir Peek's objections or com plaints? He has none that he would open ly acknowledge or boldly proclaim. A dis organizer in the party, he professes to be a democrat only to oppose and destroy the democratic party.
 MT. Peek came here with professions of democracy upon his lips. His promises to the party were profuse and unraserved. He proclaimed himself democrat died in the wool, and dead out against the know noth. ing party. But yet, in the first instance when he is called upon to render his party a service, he is not only found against his county democratic nominees, but in the know nothing ranks, complaining and rail- ing against them. 50 much for the first test of Mir Peek's democracy!
 We request the attention of the democ- racy of the State to the course pursued by the Old Line Democrat in this county Democrats all over the State know the hard and bitter contests the democracy of this county have always maintained against the opposition, and have often sympathised with them.
 The democracy of Pulaski county have been truly unfortunate in the fact that here, in Little Rock. the seat of government, the cheifs of the disorganizers have always fix ed their head quarters Here the talent, the ability, the bitterness and all, of both kSvw nothngs and disorganizers, assemble and work, and. against it all, the democracy have to struggle. Mr. Peek has joined the opposition. He is now regarded as spoke in the great know nothing wheel, as an enemy to the organization of the democracy of Pulaski county.
 The democracy of Pulaski county appeals to their fellow democrats throughout the State to assist them to put down this pa- holy alliance in this county between the Hindmanites and know nothings, <"The de- mocracy of Pulaski county lraysTnadc many bold and manly struggles, and they intend to make another one this summer They are united, firm and enthusiastic, and they ex- pect confidently to carry the day over the combined forces of the Old Line Democrat and the know nothings.
