~It has been urged that the action of tba State convention was not binding be- cause majority of the whole democratic vote of the State was not given on the se- cond balloting. A sufficient answer to this objection can be found in the fact that upon the motion to declare the nomination unanl- mons. but one or two dissenting voices were beard-those of Mir. Jackson, of Phillips county. and Mr. Peek, of Illinois. Throw out the counties they represented and the remainder was not only majority but two-thirds majority of the democratic vote of the whole State.
 The action of the seeding delegates from the Charleston convention has been indorsed by a great many. 50, those per sons who now say there was great wrong in the State convention, had withdrawn, there might have been grounds for their reprobation of it. But they did not secede. They remained till its close and were assur- edly bound by its action. We submit these things to the people and are confident that they will take the same view of the case that we do.

LITTLE RocX, June l, 1860.
MR. ERKEs-

l
 Sir: In this weeks number of the Old Line Democrat, I notice an article concerning the trim ming of the public documents, containing so many gross errors that request space for statement of the facts.
 The work on the public documents was done cording to law. It does not say they shall be trim med cn three sides. It is the practice of binding in other States, when the public documents are done up in pamphlet form, to leave the head un- trimmed, so as to preserve the beauty of the print ing, for without a good margin a book does not look we'll. Nearly all the fine English and Amer ican books are left untrimmed on one side, for the purpose of preserving the integrity ot the margin.
 The documents. to which MT. Peek refers, the best folded stitched and trimmed, that have ever been done in the State and will compare ia vorably with work of the like kind done in other States.
 Congressional documents, done in pamphlet form, are not trimmed at all
 There were 500 copies of each journal, and 23nG copies of the acts sent by mail at the public expense. All other documents were sent by the members of the legislature at their own expense.
 The other side being trimmed, would reduce the weight of each CODY of the journal or acts not one fifth of an ounce At the highest figure the difference would be twelve or thirteen hundred ounces which at cent all ounce would be twelve or thirteen dollars.
 Johnson X Yerkes did not receive a cent on
  E. Reardon as binder. Ii any beneti was derived by the binder by leaving side untrimmed, they did not derive it. This labor of extra trimming could have been performed for few dollars. and if permitted to take of all the margin, as has been done heretofore, the paper so cut off would have more than paid for the labor, it sells for four cents a pound in Cincinnati.
 have frequently heard one of the publishers of the Old Line Democrat curse a binder in the city, (Jacobi) for cutting the margin of his pamphlets, and refused to give him trimming for that reason.
 Mr. Peek says that Johnson & ' Ierkes recei> ed pay to the amount of five hundred dollars for not trimming one side of the documents It did not make difference of one cent to them But Ii one side is worth five hundred dollars, the three sides were worth fifteen hundred dollars. The whole amount paid for folding, stitching and trimming did not exceed Sl 900. Take $l 300 from this. and it would leave $40O to pay for folding and stitching.
 But enough It is small and pitiable affair for a paper protesting responsibility, to resort to such things and Mr. Peek must be hard run for political capital to make use of such subterfuges to defeat the democratic nominee At all events, justice to you requires this statement from me.
 Respectfully, A. T. Ii.

l4r The Old Line Democrat accuses us of wishing to see third contestant for seat in Congress from the second district That the know nothings proper, will run somebody is possible, but the majority of them think Can't good enough opposl- tionist. Should one of them run, It will subtract so much from MT. Gantt's vote, but we verify believe that Dr. Mitchel will get more votes than both combined. The systematic attacks upon him, the misrepre- sentations anl tricllery resorted to- defeat him, have strengthened him among the masses. Charles Mitchell is a man oi the people, tried and true democrat and a man of ability That he is older than his competitor is not his fault, and perhaps the people would prefer man of mature mind, fixed principles and fair record. The times require our best men, on whom the people can rely, and not those who play fast and loose, and claim votes on the score of ln- experience.

SAD AFFAIR.-On Sunday morning last H. R. Karr and R. l.. Linscott had a diff culty on the street; personal contest en- sued which resulted in the immediate death of Mir. Karr. So sad an occurrence spread gloom over our little city which has not yet subsiaed. Mir. K. was a gentleman much respected and had many friends. The sad thing was lamentable, but, under the cir cumstances, could not be avoided. Mir. Linscott submitted immediately to legal in- vestigation and was discharged, it being case purely of self defence.-C Camden Eagle.

 Falsehood.

It has been circulated in this county that William Q. Pennington and James B. Johnson took pcr-diem.
 To set these gentlemen right we quote from the statement of the auditor: "The following gentlemen it appears refused to take either mileage or per-diem: Messrs. Batchelor, Embree, Johnson of De.ha. JOHNSON of Pulaski, McCam- mon, Mitchell, McKean, Oats and PEN INJECTION. Mir. Johnson of Pulaski, re- siding at the capital, was not entitled to mile age. Very respectfully,
 your ob't. serv't,
 VIM. R. MILLER,
 Auditor of Arkansos. The above we trust will forever silence this islander.

MT. Hindman's Speech at Little Rock.

We neglected last week to notice Mir. Hindman's speech at this place, as he pass ed through from Dover on his way to Wash ington City. The Old Liner says of it:
 "The Colonel made bold, eloquent and telling speech. After alluding to the fact, that the John sons had charged him with being afraid to come to Little Rock and repeat, here, the substance of the speeches which he had made during the canvass through his district last fall, he reminded those gentlemen that he had come for the purpose Of proving the absurdity of that charge, and to utter here under the very shadow of their throne, the essence of every thing which he had ever be- fore said against them. He then proclaimed 1t boldly fearlessly and unequvocally, that of all the unholly alliances and corrupt political influences that ever crushed the energies, oppressed the rights and defeated the interests of free people, that of Johnsoniansm in Arkansas was the most bighting, whitening and corruptlng."
 The Old Liner willfully misrepresents Mir. Hindmad's speech. There was noth- ing in it of the charges that Hlndman made against the "Johnsons" in his tour last fall. He did not utter one of them. Mir. R.H. Johnson was present, and was called upon for a speech when Hindman conclud- ed. but declined. for the reason that Hind had said nothing worthy of reply

SIXTY THOUSAND DoLLARs.-Last week we published an advertisements of S60,00O locking for an owner, and on last Monday the veritable Dr. w. c. Rutton arrived Tn our city from Havana, and came to the ot- flee to make further inquiries about 1t. He is the happy owner of that snug sum- and will immediately take steps to secure it. He is resident of Van Buren, but has been absent from home for about a year.
 This is another striking instance of the utility of advertising. The Doctor is in fine health, except his eyes, which are slowly recovering from entire blindness caused by ship fever.
