Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-04-07

the nomination Ut Charleston have, with one exception, pursued iudicious course in presenting ths claims of their favorites. But Douglas strength, to let his friends tell it, is going to override everything, and all kinds of means have been reso1ted to for the purpose Ii creating this impression, and give him s'rength. especially at the South, where, although his friends claim almost every Staie for him. he is wholly without any strength. They have a way of telegraphing and writing over the coun- try that certain States have instructed for him, when the facts do not sustain them. A recent instance was that the Maryland democratic Nt3 2 convention had instructed for him by a large majority when that con vention has not yet met. They claim he will get one hundred and twenty votes on the first ballot, and when called upon to name the State cannot show one half of that number. his game of bluff is now about exploded, although they still persist in it. They c.aimed Pennsylvania until the State convention met, and some of them have the hardihood to do so still, in the face of the fact that forty-two of the fifty four delegates appointed to Charleston are violently opposed to him. They also claim 1 ed Louisiana until the recent action of the State convention developed his almost total want of strength there. They claimed all | States that have not given specific instruc- tions to their delegates to vote for a certain l candidate. and sSates that have instructed | they claim after the second or third ballot When 1t is remembered that as a general thing the States opposed to Douglas have given no instructions, and where it was pos sible to do so, his friends had the delega- tions instructed for him, such brag is pre- poSterous. But this brag game is not the only card he has played. He has played upon the vice presidential nomination. as with harp of thousand strings" This he has done by promising southern public men if they will assist in securing his nomi. nation for the presidency, he will give them his influence for the nomination for the vice presidency. It is charged he has wheeded not less than thirty southern mer into his support by this means. Among the few States that have not yet held con ventions is Arkansas, which IS also claimed by Douglas friends for him. and they have very uniustly stated that Rust has gone home for the purpose of securing delegates to Charleston of that sort. l know tha such an idea never entered into Rust's head but his trip to Arkansas is exclusively o a business character, which he was delayed making at an early day, on account of tn, organization of the House He pur chased a lot of negroes in Virginia for hi farm and has now taken them there and hi
 return IS expected at such an early day tha 1t entirely precudes the idea that his tril IS political mission in any sense of tn term. l presume he does not care a groa for all such rum3rs, but as his cnemie might take occasion to seize upon il to b used against him, it is well the public min, should be disabused in advance
