~r---s ezA As->NA From Montgomery County.

Cefar Gfafes, Arks., Oct. Sth, 1860.
 Messrs. EDiToRs-Permt me to drop d thought or two in regard to the presidential e lection. poi. lcs are ragng-each plrty claiming to be the strongest, when in reality the contest is only be- tween two patties-the black T. publican of the north and Breckinridge and Lane, the regular de- mocratic nominees, of the south l think reason Will teach any sane man, from past and present events, that there is no earthly chance for Bell or Douglas. Bells chance in this election is about the same as Fillmore's was ill 1856. He doubtless IS running under the same colors and prompted bv the same motives that prompted the know nothing party to run Fillmore in 1856
 am Of the opinion that Douglas won't be in Breckinrdge's way in the South. I don't know what southern State he will get It would be bet ter TOT the democratic party to unite in this cleo ton on Brecknrdge, as he is doubtless the strong est man. MT. Douglas is certainly the the weakest candidate in the field. He will be h. hindmost in the race. If his chance is as bad every where os t ia at this place his vote wont be worth counting. ooh ' know oi man in this town or beat that will support Douglass and if there is one in the county don't know it. l asked the sheriff of this county W. c. Simp on, if he knew of any Douglas men in the county; he stated he did not There may be few in the county; if so, they keep very still hear of buttew in Hot Spring county, and not many in Saline. It seems as if the press fatters their subscribers too much, i. e. Bell and Douglas presses; they claim that they have the ascendency the Douglas party that we should unite on Doug las-the Bell panty that We should all unite on him to save the onion, trying to make the people be- 
 hefe that he is the strongest man.. can't con- eeVe put II the true issue was put before the peo DIG hSht' they would conscientiously say that breckimldge was the strongest man, and as true to the South as any; if the people don't believe it now, think November will establish this remark. {. that is, Breckinridge will beat Bell in the race and carry Douglas on his back. Permit me to say that the Bell prty gives this county to Breckinridge, and also ths State. MIR.

Thus early, the different sections are throwing out ma names and among those mentioned, are Thomas Fletcher, Richard H. Johnson, Gov. Conway, Judge Watkins and most every other name at the Rock. In the south, Quillin. Warren, Mitchell and Hem- ingway. East, Hindman and Flournoy. North, Patterson, Brown and McCreery. North west, Reagan, Floyd, Greenwood and Dean.

ana equal justice to all as our motto-tbs charo. iaiis harmless and affects us not. After the adoption of the above resolu. tons, the committee on organization ore. sented through their chairman, Wm. NJ. Wilcox, esq, the follow obligation:
 Having the fullest confidence in the ability. in. tegrity and sterling worth of John C. Breckinr;dce our standard bearer in the present presidential con test ana believing that the great conservative nr;n ciples embodied in the Baltimore platform and in the above resolutions, are equal to any emeroency we the undersigned do solemnly promise to sslpnort him and do hereby pledge ourselves to use every honorable means to secure his election.
 A list of the names that were subscribed to the above pledge, would have been ap- pended to this, but as it was considered that 1t would occupy too much space in the True Demo'rat, it is suppressed. The democracy of Arkansas county have awak- ened to sense of their duty and are per- haps more united than in any other county Tn the State. Douglas cannot raise a cor poraPs guard in Arkansas county. We will carry this county for Breckinridge and Lane without any doubt.

 Is THIS A DIsuNIoN ohn Forsyth, editor of the Mobilo Register, and devoted supporter of Mir. Douglas, uses the following language in letter to his friend Sanford:
 IFABLACK REPUBLICAN PRESI- DENT SHOULD BE ELECTED BY A PURELY SECTIONAL VOTE, THE SOUTH RESISTING AND THE NOR THERNERS UNITING AGAINST US, THIS IS NO UNION FOR SLAVEHOL- DERS TO LIVE IN. I SHOULD GO WITH MIR. YANCLY FOR DISRUP. TON, HALTER OR NO HAL TER"
 Herschel V. Johnson, the Douglas can didate for the Vice Presidency, may utter similar or stronger language, but still he is no disunionist. Let any friend of Mir. Breckinridge, however, hint any such thing, and "hang the traitor," is instantly pro- claimed.
