TIC. Hindman, We Answer ASaln' Within the lest few days we have re- ceived many letters asking for information in regard to the position of this individual in the present canvass for Governor; we replied few days ago, but will answer again in so plain manner as will be satls- factory to the curious. The questions are: What did Col. Hindman have to do with bringing out Judge Rector against the regular nominee of the democratic party! and is it true that he has publicly repudiated the State convention and the nomination ot Rich'd. H. Johnson?

 With reference to the first question we will simply state that Col. Hindman leit his post of duty in Congress, and went to Dover to attend the conventions; that he held Sunday caucus there, in which the repudiation of the State convention was re- solved upon, as we are credibly informed, and also that Col. Hindman himself drew up the resolution which was to be used afterwards as a repudiating resolution; that he prevailed upon most of his friends to sign call upon Judge Rector to run for Governor, that he stamped his foot Tn all the egotism of fancied power, and swore that he would not support Dick Johnson whether he was the nominee or not; that he came to Little Rock and made speech in which he declared that he repudiated the State convention, and would not support Rich'd H. Johnson, the nominee; that Judgc Rector was called upon, who denied that he was candidate, and left the lm' pression that he would not be; that two days afterwards, being promised by Col. Hindman his open and active support, and that he would take the stump in his the Judges behalf, and that the northern dis trict would be sure to go for Rector, or any body else if he, Hindman, told them to, by at least 10000 majority-the Judge announced himself candidate for Cover nor; that several days afterwards Col. Hindman made speech in Helena, in which his own paper, the State Rights Democrat, admits that lie repudiated the State convention and its nominee; and that he ordered 10000 tickets for the northern district with Rector for Governor and Hinc man for Congress. These and many similar reports are current about here and other places, and we have no reason to believe them untrue; some of them we know of our own knowledge are true, and the rest though charged again and again have never been denied.

 From these and other facts, it is plain that Mr. Hindman is alone responsible for this silly and futile attempt to disrupt and disorganize the democratic party. But to satisfy our readers and all good democrats that Col. Hindman has been guilty of at tempting to disorganize the party, we quote the following from his paper, the Old Line Democrat:

 Keep it before the people, that the True Dem ocrat said that F. w. Can't had cut himself loose from the democratic party, and had no right to appeal it for support. Because he repudates the State conversion and its nominee, and at the same time stutfes itself by putting up at it's mast head the name of Col. T. C. Hindman, who in much stronger and more positive and emphatic terms, denounces and repudiates the said sham and fraud- ulent convention and its nominee"

 This we hope will be satisfactory to oul numerous querists.

 We ought in justice to Mir. Hindman, to state that he has refused to take the stump for Judge Rector, and has not in writing committed himself to Rector support. {. The public can judge whether Col. Hind man is more deserving of censure or com mendation for abandoning Judge Rector in his extremity; we think ingratitude, look out for number one, and a late re- pentance are strangely commingled
