Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-07-14
How is 1t

We think, that every candid reader of our paper will bear out, in saying that ill all our editorial course whether in treating of men or measures, we have been, at least, decent i'll our language, and abstained from all blackguardism and vulgarity.- Old Line DemOcrot, July oh.
 Tototot was withdrawn merely for the purpose Of intimating a sort of cessation of hostties on the part of the Johnsons, until the Gubernatorial nomi- nation of the Prince Royal, Richard, could be se- cured and then to be recalled, provided some more bitter and unscrupulous agent could not be found. And such an one was hard to ind; but he was at last picked up in the person Of one Boudnot, mongrel Cherokee, the editor ot low, dirty and scruilous sheet, called the Arkansian. He was not only an Indian, but known to be hostile to Col. Hind man, land when the hostility of an Indian is once established, he is a fit tool for any man who has any rascalitv to accomplish; he had made what little
 nenviable reputation he enjoyed by the bitter and desperate assaults he had made upon Col. Hlnd- man-Od Line Democrat, July lOh.
 There is something so ennobling, so court ly," so 'high bred" and so eminently de- cent in the style and sentiment of the above alusions that we are half entranced: 1t IS so dignifed and so worthy of scion of the F. F's, of the mother of Presidents, that we can barely restrain our admiration. But our polished, refined and courtly neighbor, gets more elegant if possible as he pro- gresses. Read him in the following mor- ceau:
 "The Dover Convention had passed resolution, in effect denouncing Boudinot; but the True Demo- crat disregarding the voice of that convention, called him to take charge of the Heading demo- cratic journal of Arkansas" And there he Is now, giving vent to the bitterness of his Indian nature, in language as coarse and brutal and insulting as ever grated upon the shocked the sensibiity of decent people,"
 The editor of the Old Line Democrat is evidently enthused on the subject of Indians and their peculiar characteristics: but we honestly think he is spreading himself over too much ground, when he undertakes to read us lecture on "brutal and insulting language" He has freely used such lan- guage as the following: "arrant coward" "coward of the deepest and most despicable dye," "dung hill bantling," "a falsehood," "treacherous, talse and jesuiticol policy of the corrupt and hypocritical junto. "- Nothing but mean, dishonorable and miserable pretence, unworthy of the re- spect of gentlemen" n"-" bile in the stom achs of the True Democrat men" ""prov- ed themselves caluminators, etc., etc.
 Scarcely an issue of the Old Line De- mocrat appears but such terms as the above are used in referring to men and naed- sures;" there is nothing coarse, brutal and insulting in them: of course not: it is only declamatory language used at random with out the slightest proof to justify it.
 Now what is the front of our offend ing?" The editor of the Old Liner di rectly charges us with being responsible for Col. Cypert running in opposition to Hindman-we branded the accusation as false, and proyed it to be such: he charged that the "Johnsons were bent upon the destruction of Hindman'' pronounced the statement base falsehood and showed its object Mir. Editor of the Old Liner charged that Mir. Woodward labored five hours per day in the True Democrat of- fice-we replied that the charge was palpable falsehood, and that 1t was made without the shadow of evidence to sustain it.
 He falsely represented Col. Johnson's State policy, and wilfully, as we believed, slandered him: we therefore branded the statement as "mean, contemptible slan- der''-and proved it by letter from Cor don N. Peay.
 This editor acknowledged that he advo- cated Douglas in Illinois, and defended his popular, or squatter sovereignty heresy "without pay;;" he comes to Arkansas and denounces Douglas and his doctrines, and makes a bitter warfare on many who are unjustly accused of favoring him; we thereupon drew the legitimate inference that the principles he advocated "'o'thom pav" in Illinois, were honestly entertained, and correctly reflected his real sentiments and that, as he was paid here in Arkansas, a change in his course was made on that account. We then moralized on the ques- tion. and came to the Conclusion, that men or ~apers that would for PAY sell their tai erts and principles, were not decent or re- spectable. We leave it to the reader to fudge which paper is guilty ofusing "coarse,
