Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-02-22

0"'e0' uillee upon southern man entirel Y a0ooP.aoie north and south, and whose record would give assurance of his success. II this Is done a southern man will receive 'ne nomination, and not only receive the nohllnatlon but be elected. By the way m cue otate of Arkansse has no candidate for 'he nomination, and the friends of Douglas here and at the North calculate with much assurance and certainty that she will vote iot hiln at Charleston. How is this? I iatiier suspect 1t Is a game of brag, for they nave played the same game in regard to all 1 the States. As an instance. I might men. ton the State of Alabama, which they said would certainly send Douglas delegates to Charleston, but see the democratic State convention has not only refused to indorse Douglas or send delegates favorable to him, put has instructed the delegates from that State, that if the Charleston convention re- used to adoptaS an article of the platform, that m case of unfriendlv legislation upon the subject of slavery in the territories, congress should intervene for its protec- ton, they must withdraw therefrom. This does not look much like there is any
 squatter sovereignty" there or that there IS any likelihood MT. Douglas has the least chance to receive any support from that quarter. In other southern states his few supporters therein have been very noisy. but with no effect and the game with these has been for the State convention not to instruct, and then they try with might and main to have Douglas men or men whom they think could be influenced appointed as delegates. But even this has availed them nothing, as the southern democracy are not going to Charleston to catch a Tartar
 Col. Hindman made speech last week, upon the subject of the contest for the Speakership, which is spoken of as highly credltable to him, and establishes his repu- tatlon as torcible and ready debator. Ills course thus far shows that he is pos sessed of considerable tact in rough and tumble encounter, such as has been in progress in the House for the last eight weeks Col. Rust continues to occupy the hlgh position he won for himself here dur Ing the exciting events of the Banks Con- gross, and has on several occasions during the present session addressed the House, ana IS as ever, alive to the interests of his constituents and the South.
 Gov. Brown of Miss. has introduced reso- lutions into the Senate affirming the right of the Southto protection to slave property in the territories. Already several able speeches have been made on these resolu- tlons, and the debate will be continued at great length, as it is generally believed they were Il reduced for the purpose of arriving at the democratic doctrines upon that sub ject, before the meeting of the Charleston convention, as the time of that body will necessarily be too limited to present a full discussion of it.
 The decision of the supreme court of the United States relative to the tite to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, was looked to with considerable interest ynon-residcnts, lnasmuch as 1t was supposed that whenever title was decreed, the owner would make such improvements as would accommodate visitors m proper manner, for so long as the ownership remained uncertain the build lngs would necessarily be of a temporary character. That court having decided as 1t is understood in favor of Mir. Gaines, from his known enterprise and energy, it Is fair to presume that proper steps will at once be taken to make 1t not only a place of resort for the invalid, but also for the pleasure seeker, and it will become one of the most fashionable watering places in America. By the way l see some enter priSing Yankees in Connecticut are about laying claim to the land upon which Bates vile is located, out of which they expect to realize handsome sum. It appears a person came into the possession of certain papers of soldier of the war of 1912, amongst which was the right to a land warrant that had been located on land upon which the town of Batesvile is now located He has sold out his interest to company for large sum, and if it be Jona fde sale much larger than they will realize; gather this from an eastern paper and cannot vouch for the truth of it, but simply give 1t as an item of Yankee would be cuteness ARKANSAS.
