Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-01-18

write the plays that bear his name? On that we take the negative. The Balance spoils the Dugan story in trying to be wit ty. We expect, in a few days to see the Balance man and arrange the prelimina- ries for the !" tilt" There is no back out in us; convince us that we are wrong in anything Mir. Balance, and we will candidly admit 1t, but we are satisfied in that argu- ment we have the but end The Balance puts |" its mug in '' in the Viator matter. It admits it is none of its funeral yet evil dently wants finger in the pie. By the time we are done with Viator we will turn him over to the Balance, as he would make first rate oppositionist. Next we have the estray notice matter explained. After stating the points heretofore made, the editor says that even ninety cents is too much and he would have put in a bid of fifty cents but neglected it. We'll, we are not practical printer but we made 'calcu," aided by printers, and concluded that less than one dollar would not pay unless the publisher collected closely and watched his corners. The Balance then gives us to understand that it can manage l to get along without the 'loaves and fishes '" of State patronage. In that and another article, there is an alluson to the If flesh pots' showing that his bowels yearn thitherward We knew a boy once who went to bed without his supper.
 The Batesville Seminal alludes to the ''Viator matter" and shows how little Tom my made-great preparation and, as usual, | fzzled.
 The Brownsville Echo suggests Judge B. c. Totten, of Prairie, for Governor. We know Judge Totten to be all the Echo declares him to be. The suggestions is good one. We neglected to notice at the time the mclanc loly death of Mrs. Sarah A. Griffin, wife of Francis Griffin, of Brownsville. Her clothes caught fire and she was so badly burnt that death ensued
 She was an estimable lady and the bereave- ment to the husband is a sad one
 The State Rights Democrat is a singular
 affair. It takes us to task for presuming
 to doubt it's masters infallibility. Most especially 1t is shocked at the use of plain
 language with regard to little Tommy It
 pains it to have him called bully, it hurts 1t to see him written down an upstart When it finds him proven to be liar it
 will go in spasms But this Calhoon is the same fellow who classed MT Boudinot below free negroes, who, in violation of all : courtesy, aye, of decency, made per sonal attack upon him, simply because he l refused to bend the hinges of his knee to the little disorganizer Nay more, this Calhoon, in the paper before us, uses this l language:
 "But, when they descend to the employment of hireling cogperSkins to buy Hp dirty san- kderers with money and office, and to take into
 their secret councils, men with whom faro dealers
 distain to strike hands and whom gamblers kick from their presence for Het, then truly are the
 public GsguSted by their failure prove charges.
 All these things have been resorted to to destroy
 the present representative in Congress from the
 first district of Arkansas
 Again the chaste and amiable editor says:
 "Why need men holding dignifed offices and protesting to deserve regulations for decency and gentility, turn scavengers and take defamiRg n- struments in the shape of men from the threshhold of Little Beck gambling hells where they have been kicked for ttef by gamblers themselves?"
 The italics are his Who or what men are those who were kicked for theft by gamblers themselves? If there be any such let Mir. Calhoon name them. As to his sheer at our being fresh from under the standard of their foes and all that sort of stuff, let us tell Mir. Calhoon one thing: Mir W oodward voted the democratic ticket in Arkansas before Hindman voted in the State, and has ever voted it since then. As to his standing article about Tototot, it IS so false as to be ridiculous. It is useless to go into an answer of 1t now, Gr hto bring forward facts to man who will not believe them, for we are mindful of the 4 oldproverb: "To father an ass's head is Ia ,poSta If coor
