The Madison Pioneer of the 18th instant, thus notices the speeches of the guberna- torial candidates:
 .sFrom what we heard we think Colonel Johnson had by far the best of the argu- ment. and we think this is the general inn nress;on of most of the auditors. Mir. Rector is, perhaps, the best fitted for a popular stump orator, as he seems to under stand the art of telling anecdotes and mak- inc the crowd laugh, and of skimming over those parts of the argument on winch he IS the weakest and dwelling on those, that give him better showing. MT. Johnson on the other hand, deals entirely in facts and foures and he used them with telling effect. We think he satisfied nearly every one that he was the nominee ot the Oon- vention, without the disputed counties and such has been and still is our opinion"
 We published last week the certificate of Dr. Booker, of Hampstead, in regard to the one which Col Can't read from Mur- phy at the beginning of the canvass. Col, Can't found, like the one which said that Mitchell was a Breckinridge man, that 1t was likely to do him more harm than good' and oflate he has not read it from the stump. Here is what the Camden Eagle, presided over by the chivalrous Hobson, says of Murphy's certificate:
 "He made him certify to that which Murphy now says was an error, and was unwilling to do so, but MT. Can't MADE him do it. Mr. Can't brings this against Dr. Mitchell to alienate the democratic vote, while he himself is fishing with all his zeal for the American support whom he has viliGed and insulted more than regard and decent respect for the opinions of others conld allow, and whom Dr. Mitchell has ever treated respectfully and courteously through disappearing of their principles and their platform"
 The Washington Telegraph gives word of cheer to the "still-hunting" candidate who has recently come back from cup Salt River" sMr. Jones, 'tis true, is not running a' party candidate, but all of his sympathie' are with the Constitutional Union candi dates, and he uses all honorable endeavor; to advance their interests. Many whlg' and Americans are unwilling to vote in tht present contest for either Dr. Mitchell or MT Can't many Democrats. also, refuse tt yield to either their support, or their lnten tion to do so is very lukewarm and uncer tain, all such, then, will have in Mir. Jone candidate to whom they can give thei suffrages."
 The Democratic Organ says:
 "Keep it before the people, that Colone Rector publicly declared in his speech a Smithville, on the 9th of July, 1860, tha T. c. Hindman would not vote for k. ii Johnson, and that he repudiates his nomi nation.'
 We can inform our friends of the Organ that Col. Hindman has somewhat 'sim- mered down" in regard to Rector.
 The Des Arc Citizen, rabid Rector ad vocate, is beginning to find some Johnson men in Prairie-it says:
 "So far as Prairie county is concerned the Johnson men seemed to have given III the fight, until during the past two weeks The few supporters of his ill-gotten nomi nation have just aroused themselves, anc have commenced using their utmost exer tions to restore his fallen fortunes in thi' county.'
 The Citizen is slightly mistaken-th' true and tried democrats, with the gallant Totten at their head, have already restored their '.fallen fortunes" and if we mistake not will administer a just rebnke to those who have misrepresented them. The Arkansian says:
 "The Old Liners are taking extra trouble to prove that the Dover Convention die not endorse the State Convention. Labor spent for naught, for nobody expects disor ganizers to endorse any Convention except such as suit them If Conventions don't suit them, presto! they are fraudulent, anc Johnson, the nominee, is not nominee while Rector the disorganizer, is one, an( entitled to the vote of the people. Verlly this is the rankest humbug, not exceeded by any other put forth by the Old Liners excepting the cry against family" whel used for Johnson's injury, while at tn same time Rector, He rectyfed, double dts filled essence ofthe 'Jamily," is heralded a the " talented and patriotic Rector. - Surely, the Old Liners must have yer. poor opinion of the common sense of tn l people, or else they are themselves fools.
 The following significant "hit' is iron i the same:
 "But the people are now thoroughl aroused, and are moving in their might with determination to pull the presen intolerant and selfish dictators to the earth
 We.have just heard from Madison count and feel assured that Johnson will bea Rector at least 300 votes in that county We have also heard from Franklin am Crawford counties and we think we ar entirely safe in saying Johnson will get tw | +o ono in each of the above counties
