The Old Line Democrat, in the last issue, ioes what we thought was impossible iescends one step lower in the scale of political deprayity. Itnow avoids the issue that we presented, and attempts to throw the responsibility of its disgracful conduct on the shoulders of man on whom they have grossly imposed. They infuence a man to certify to an editoriol-this they call a grotuitous certificate How was it known that this particular editorial was to be pub lished? It is we'll known that the witness whose testimony is given was acoited on with "cut and dried" certifcate--his own statement proves this. In order to prove that he was sober enough to make a certi- ficate, he states indirectly that he did not make the certificate gratuitously Here is: "On Tuesday morning I gave the certificate to the Old Line Democrat-that was duly sober, prove by the person ,nho brought me e certificate 10 stgn-by two men working for me, and bv several individuals whose bare word is as good as their bonds

 We would like to know if the certificate was read over before it was signed? We would like to know furthermore who was the person scho procured this gratuitous cer- tificate? We will state for the edfcation of the world that it was a near relative of Judge Rector's--that Judge Rector was in

 X town when the certificate was written and from all the circumstances of the case 1t is reasonable to suppose that he was cogni. zant of the unprecedented and unwarrantable method resorted to, to injure an opponent (adyersory in the classical language of the Ex Judge, ) and knew that after Col. John sons departure. and not betore. a slander was to be circulated with the express in tention of undermining his reputation.-- This places the issue where it belongs, be- tween Col. Johnson and Judge Rector, who, as he must have known what was being done, is responsible for what his near rela- tipss did. Let the public decide between the conduct of the two gubernatoral aspi- rants. We are confident that Col John son would not stoop to such method to injure his opponent-that he would put his foot on any such attempt and frown it down as slur on his own character--if he did not we would not vote for him.

When the black republicans wish to make political capital they poison the public mind with islanders on the South and pie ture her as poor ''consumptive patient" |" weakened, emasculated and sinking fast into imbecility and barbarism. These base inn putations were hurled against the South by that cowardly puppy, Chas. Summer, in his last insult to the Senate. But when he wishes to awaken the cupidity of his con stituency, he changes tune. In his recent speech at Coopei's Institute, he pays the following just tribute to the South, slurred over as it is with the venomous slime of the serpentine orator:

 "The slave power for the past 6o years has managed to govern the country and secure all the government places; the North has had but one third of the places; the South the balance; they have played their game with loaded dice, dice loaded with slavery. It thought that the slave oiiqarchy numbered three millions; there was really at present but 9l ,OUt slave holders in the United States. All the most important posts had been monopolized by the slave States"

 In the same spirit tofinconsistent depravity the traitorous poltroons to the democratic party and to Arkansas, who have unfurled the banner of Reorganization, are heaping upon their own State depre :ating calumnies, are crying out against an imaginary "oli- garchy," are tempting the cupidity of every tenth-rate political trickster with the hope of office, are sending abroad to the world the caricature of a ruined and sinking State, and giving to her among strangers name of reproach and degradation.

 But after picturing Arkansas as poor, depleted, inefficient victim, bound down by an oppressive oligarchy, the disorganiz- ing Rector -Duval- Peekites stimulate the avarice of. their utderstrappers by direct contradiction. They turn round and hold up full treasury, anl the base sons of Mammon lick their lips" over the pros pect of rich harvest. In this way they hope to entice into their fatal embrace the honest patriots, who will doubtless shed a tear at the pathetic portrait of .Jno. Selden Roane, and also allure the avaricious, the sordid lovers of lucre, who even in heaven according to the poet, keep their eyes fixed ever on the pavements of gold. Shame on such degrading Sumnerisml Have we no state pride that we are not desirous to free ourselves from the clogs of debt? This is the incubus which has rested so long on our young State. If you will not listen to the demagogueism of those who counsel a longer continuance under the fatal thraldom of debt and depreciated currency, soon we will be able to give efficient and earnest aid to railroads and enterprises of a similar character. Stand by that prudent and economical policy which has almost re- deemed the reputation of Arkansas, and which will, if persevered in, soon place us on the tepmost wave of prosperity and af- fuence.

It is well known, that last week call was made for meeting of mechanics and laborers. signed by FORTY SIX mechanics and laborers of this city-we were not present, but we learn that the hall was densely crowd ed, and considerable disorder prevailing, the meeting adjourned without passing resolu- tions.

 We were astonished and indignant at the notice of this meeting which appeared in the Old Line Democrat of Friday last. The meeting is called an ''unheard of proceed ing." an "outrage," disgrace, etc.

 Is it possible that toty-sir honest. peace able, law abiding citizens of Little Rock cannot call public meeting, without being paraded in the columns of the Old Line Democrat, as having committed an "un- heard cf proceeding" and without being denounced as perpetmting an abominable outrage? What think you of this, free men and mechanics ? you must not dare to call meeting or leave your shops, without the consent of the Illinois missionary It is consummate arrogance. perfect out rage for you to assemble together without first getting the gracious consent of the editor of the Old Line Democrat? The call for said meeting was signed by torty- sir gentlemen-they glory in the name and occupation of mechanics, and, we are of opinion. will never yield their inalienable right to call meeting and attend it, for fear of the low abuse of an imported editor. Perhaps in Illinois it was considered an outrage for mechanics to dare to hold meeting, but in matter of fact Arkansas, no distinction is made between the rights of mechanics and editors, or any other class Of citizens, and we assure the editor of the Old Line Democrat he will fail in his at- tempt to draw despotic lines between the working class and the kid gloved writing aristocracy.

U If anybody ought to understand the
position of Mr. Douglas on the Slavery
question. it is Mr. II. V. johnson, the dis
tinguished candidate for Vice President
on the same ticket. In long speech at

Judge Douglas had been misrepresent-

favor of Squatter Sovereignty. aud in proof
read from his speech in February. 1859,
where he took the ground that the Terrific

read from the same speech that Slavery in
the Territories stands precisely on the
same footing with all other property, and
the people have the same right TO legislate
upon it that they have to legIslate upon
other property, no more and no less"
