This is the name of new paper just established at Ozark, in this State, the first number ofwhich we have just received. Its editorial destinies are presided over by our old friend and companion in arms, Squire Boone; very clever gentleman, talented man and popular, experienced, nervous and ready writer. We have been intimately acquainted with MT. Boone for several years and cheerfully testify to his worth as gentleman and his ability as writer. His salutatory is written in excellent style and explains fully his position on the i'm portant questions of federal and state pol ties.

 But notwithstanding all our esteem for him and our appreciation of his manly merits, we cannot help but consider him a political heretic, an outlaw-as far as the democratic party in this State is concerned. He IS hand and glove with the disorgan- izers

The proceedings of the convention were written out and given to Dr. Hobson oi the State Rights Eagle, whose paper came out

 wo or three days after the convention ao- iourned, with the understanding that proof sheets should be sent to all the papers Tn the State. By some oversight the trunk containing the manuscript was left at Ark adelphia by Dr. Hobson. As soon as the mails would permit it was sent on, and when it reached Washington opened. The minutes of the convention appeared in the last issue of the South Arkansas Democrat The readers of the Old Line Democrat will see by reading them that the courtly fling oi our polite cotemporary is entirely gratultous' as the proceedings contain nothing that iniure Dr. Mitchell or his friends-on the other hand they show how utterly baseless is the reckless assertions of the organ ol the aspiring oligarchy.

pr. Echols, delegate to Philadelphia, who was persuaded there by the swindling promise of another State Convention to vote against the resolution indorsing the action of the last State convention, thus gallantly spurns the deception practlced upon him. We think our friends of the Eagle do him injustice, for his letter IS frank, manly and characteristic. It Is the view which every honest democrat who has been deluded by a very nicely arranged dis organizing scheme must take of the matter It is with pleasure that we quote from Dr. E. $ letter the following just and merited rebuke to those who imposed on his can dor and sincerity. Unlike the Eagle we would trust without hesitation the writer of the following:

 "I was induced to believe that it was the sin cere desire of the dissatisfied democracy, who claim a large majority in the State, to hold another dem- ocratic State convention for the purpose o recon sidering the nomination of Col. R. H. Johnson for governor. This was my understanding of the vote given m the Philadelphia convention repu0latlnS the nomination of Col. R. H. Johnson. I was led to believe that to hold another State convention, duly and justly represented by the democracy of each county in the State was the {" desideratum' of the disafected democracy. And as it had been alleged that there was not fair expression of the will of the democracy in the late State convention, and knowing that fair and full expression of the will of the democracy of the State was the ''sine qua non'' to satisfactory nomination, voted for the repudiation of Col Johnson s nomination, fully and confidently expecting that another convention would be held and either ratfy and endorse the nomination of Col. Johnson or make anotheri if the convention deemed it necessary. But, Mr. Editor, what do see and hear? The name of an iniepen- dent candidute for gouernor-the Hon. Henry M. Rector, and if he refuses the of his name, othors are spoken of as independent candiddtes.- Now, Mir. Editor, let me here state in justice to myself and to the democracy of Calhoun county, that disapprove and condemn any such proceed ngs, and furthermore do not beliere 1t to be demo- cratic, and that it will have tendency to disorgan zation and disruption of the democratic party. and should, in my humble opinion, receive the censure and discontinuance of all who really desire the per petuity and unison of the democratic party in Ar kansas, which has so long been her pride and glory as a State, and which in safety has guided through every political storm her ship of State.

 In conclusion, let me state that for one will not support any other than the regular nominee of the democratic party for governor nor will the democ racy of Calhoun county so far forget her allegiance to the time -honored customs of the democratic party as on the first Monday in August next, to in dorse or support an independent candidate in prefer ence to the regular democratic nominee,

 Respectfully, PHIL. H. ECHOLS."

EDITORIAL CHANGE.-E. c. BoUDINoT, esq.,, late of the Fayetteville Arkansan, has assumed the la bors and duties of the True Democrat. He is not unknown among the political writers and leaders of Arkansas. Our personal relations with him have ever been of the most kind and friendly character and though conducting journals which, politically, wide apart as the poles, yet we hope that the same friendly relations which have, thus far, marked intercourse may continue. We welcome MT. B. to his position. He is of fair ability and ready writer, and we have doubt that the change in the paper will be hailed with joy by its readers-ArkanSds Gdzette.

 We most heartily assure our friend, Capt Danley, that those kind and friendly personal relations which have heretofore marked our intercourse shall never be mar red in the least if we can help it: with one or two exceptions we have met with uni form courtesy and kindness from the press of Arkansas, since our connection with 1t, and it is our earnest wish to prove worthy of continuance of that urbanity extended to uS

Some two months ago proscrlptlve un- democratic resolution was passed in meet ing held in Crawford county, in which it was resolved that no one should be supported for any office who was not then in favor of the reelection of T. c. Hindman to Con- gress; democrats were startled and ashamed It was not for moment supposed that such a sentiment reflected the democratic feeling of the county, and we are not at all surprised to see Crawford county wipe off the stain, and rebuke the proscriptive reso- lution, as will be seen by the following ex- tract from the proceedings of convention held in Van Buren recently:

 WHEREAS, It is customary for democratic con- ventions to adopt resolutions declaratory of their principles, therefore,

 Resoloed, Ibat we, the democracy of Crawford county assembled in convention, declare that we consider the success of democratic principles of more importance, than any expediency or the pre- ferment of any individual. And the assertion of any democrat or set of democrats to the effect that mans political orthodoxy should be tested by his support of any individual is heresy bor- rowed from the ancient enemies of our organization.

The PRosPECT.-We have not mnch

promise or concession on the part Of the Re-
pubicans-seems to put up bar against all
hopes OF peace reconciliation. This being
the case, neither Republicans, or Democrats, or
any one else soever can iail to see the course

the Territorial rights of the South are to be

the dominant party is fixed as to deny all
Southern rights in the Territories. the game

Lincoln has uttered bis utimatum matters will

next thirty days, and by that time, in all pro-

can be perpetuated or not, will be fully solved

the South are recognised as res ards slavery in

PRoyEssoR HoRN. N.-This is the name of an
individual who imagines himself to be a
brother of Cain and Abel, transmogrifed into
his present shape and gifted with more than
the longevity of the Wandering Jew by a
process which he fuently described to us.
Yesterday, but which we failed to compre-
hond. As proof of his identity he showed
US also, with an air of great triumph, certain
marks upon his temples and forehead whieh
he interpreted as spelling out Adam ana Eve
Cain and Abel and the Devil, or something
of that sort. lie says that he is the only
prophet now existing, the wisest man of the
age, and greatest philosopher and poet of any
times or elimes, lie says that his object in
visiting Marysville was to celebrate in man
ner which no one but he could, (none being
acquainted as he with the mysterious infu-
ences which come down from the lmmortals
among whom is Washington,) the birthday
of that great man; and that he notified the
editor of the Express of his intention, as ear
ly as Saturday last, by letter, which that
gentleman had disdained to notice lie was
around town, yesterday, with his hat cover
ed all over with white paper upon which
were inscribed all sorts of cabalistic marks,
the meaning of which he explained to every
one who came along as having an important
connection with the day he was celebrating.
While thus descanting at one of the street
corners he was taken in charge by the police
and lodged in the Station House, where we
visited him.


Poor Horn, we have known him and of
him for several years past. His regular call
ing is that of dentist, and we believe he is
pretty good one. He also works in the
mines, making at times good deal of money.
The most of this he spendsi in publishing pam
phlets for gratuitous distribution, on the mag
netic currents, and a variety of philosophical
subjects, in q style which nobody can under.
stand but himself He is perfectly harmless
in his vagaries, and so far as making money
enough to take care Of himself is concerned,
has hitherto shown as much sense as the or
dinary run Of men. We presume he is still
as capable as ever. We presume he might
safely be allowed to 60 at large and provide
for his own wants. Indeed, we are certain of
1t. unless he has greatly changed within a
year or two. We believe he has never been
in an insane asylum.

From the Dublin University Magazine.
Two worlds there are. To one our eyes we strain
Whose magic joys we shall not see again:
Bright haze Of morning wells its gimmering shore.


Ahi truly breathed we there,


Intoxicating air.
Glad hearts in that sweet realm Of Nevermore
The lover there drank her delicious breath,
Whose love has yielded since to change or death;
The mother kisses her child whose days are DER.


Alasl too soon have fed


The irreclaimable dead
We see them-yisons strange-nmid the Nevermore.
Thy merry song some maiden used to sing
The brown, brown hair that once was wont to cling
To temples long clay cold; to the very core


They strike our weary hearts,


As some vexed memory starts,
From that long-faded lnnd-the realm of Nevermore.
It's perpetual summer there-but here
Sadly may remember rivers clear,
And harebells quiverng the meadow floor


For brighter bells and bluer,


For tenderer hearts and truer
People that happy land, the realm Of Nevermore.
Upon the fronting Of this shadowy land
We, pilgrims of eternal sorrow stand;
What realm lies forward with its happier store


OF forests green and deep,


OF valleys hushed in sleep,
And lakes most PEACEFUL 'Tis the land Of Evermore
Very far of its marble cities seem
Very far of-beyond our sensual dream;
Its woods unrufIled by the wild winds roar.


Yet does the turbulent surge


Howl on its very verge
One moment-and we breathe within the EveImore
They whom we loved and lost so long ago,
Dwell in those cities far from mortal woe: rsoar
Haunt those fresh woodlands, when sweet cRroling


Eternal peace have they;


God wipes their tears away;
They drink that river of life which flows for Evermore
Thither we hasten through these regions dim,
But lo the wide wings of the seraphim
Shine in the sunset. On that Joyous shore


Our frightened hearts shall know


The light of long ago:
The sorrow-burdened past shall fade for Evermore.
