Personal.
We had the pleasure of meeting at Browns
ville, best Monday, lion. J. J. Clendennin,
presiding Judge of our Circuit Court, Col.
Cypert, of Searcy, ami Col. Douglass, editor
of The Democrat. We were t cry much pleas
ed to receive assurances from Ji due < le.v
DENNIN and Col. Douglass, that although
they supported Breckinridge, their voice is
for the preservation of the Confederacy, as it
now stands, even with Lincoln at its head.
Col. Cypert, who has always belonged to the
Union persuasion, of course has for his motto,
the good old “one and inseparable” of the
immortal Webster.
The Citizen Playing the “Artful Dodger.”
Our fire-eating neighbor of The Citizen, in
hi,s last issue, has donned his Democratic the
atrical costume, and commenced the “time
honored party ” farce of the “Artful Dodger,”
which is invariably put upon the hills for a
successful “run” when all others fail. His
style is similar to those old “dodgers” of the
party, Davis, Toombs, and Yancey, when
they read that celebrated pas-age which tells
the Southern people that all who do not how
the knee to the dictates of Southern fanatics
and secessionists are aholifi- id. .-, and in con
clave with the lot s of the Slave States.
In reference to the record of Mr. Lincoln,
which we published last week, to show that
he was not so had a man as such papers which
advocate secessi n, like 'i lie Citizen, would
have them believe, ourcoleric neighbor, con
fining himself strictly to the Democratic text,
reads the following:
Tiie.Consiitutional Union evidently covets the
notoriety of being the apeh-gi.-t of Lincoln.
Now we all know, for so long a time that
the memory of the “oldc-t inhabitant” run
neth not contra-wise, such lines never fit if i
to bring down “ thunders of applause ” upon
the head of any of the “dodgers,” from the
greatest to the smallest, by an “unterrified r
audience. We admire it ourselves for it
“time-honored” usage. Let u-see whcrcir.
we became the apolog: -t of Mr. Lincoln
That lie is a Black Republican, and one t<
whose doctrines concerning Slav* it, a.-' cnun
dated in the Chicago platform, we do not. ii
the least subscribe, nothin' h - : < ired ii
our paper which indicated di Terentiy. Thu
we published, in the record of hi:.ivi,x. ;
quotation fr.au a speech which he deliverer'
in debate with Mr. Bo! ;i.as. at Freeport
Illinois, 1:7th August, 1808, which, reads a:
follows, we do not deny:
‘•1 have never he-ilaud to -iv, an ! I do no
now hesitate n> ; y. that 1 think, under the Cun
stitution of the United S' i"s. ti.|of tin
Southern Males uo entitled to a Coiigressiona
fugitive shi\o la .v.”
Will our neighbor deny that Lixcot,?
made such a speech ? Will cur neighho
deny that Lincoln, in the same discu-sion
said, concerning the admission of any mori
Slave States?
“I should he exceedingly ghi 1 to 1cm w tin
there would never be at it Lor 8; vo sO .. i-i.:
ted into the Union; l*m i rii.t«t .. hi th: t if shiver

live, if we own tile country, but to admit then
into the Iniun."
Will our neighbor deny that Lincoln
made use of the Allowing lunguag: in 1 >0*
concerning the ah• dishing ot slavery in tin
District of Columbia ?
“I should not. with my present views, be it
favor of endeavoring to abolish slavery in iln
District, mile -s on these conditions: I'ir.-r, tha
the abolition should be gradual; second, that i
should be on n vote of the majority of t he qualifip'
voters of the Di-triet: and third, that conipeusa
tion should be male to unwilling owners."
W e know our neighbor < mid not have so lit
tie regard for truth. Is there anything in tin
above aggressively unfriendly to the South '
AVill the "dodm r-’ p< '.nt out wherein we art
an apologist for Lincoln, when we say tha!
such sentiments as contained in the extract
above. show the rail-splitter m t to be so had;
man as the dis unionists would have us be
lieve?
The next scene in which the "dodger"
appears, - struts and frets,” aud exhibits some
of his most brilliant acting, is the one which
presents the Oregon bill. In The Citizen ol
me _isi. our neignoor, in ~ miming up a n i
of grievance.-, whl li. in lii.s opinion. were suf
ficient causes for tlie Southern States to secede
from the Union, occurred th: paragraph:
The attempt to exclude slavery tVom acquired
Territory by the so-called YYilmot Proviso, pre
sented tae third occasion.
We asked our neighbor of he did not mean
Oregon as the Territory, which came in on
the Wilmot Proviso principle, with slavery
cxeluded; and if the bill was not slimed by
■James Iv. Polk, then a Democratic Presi
dent of the United States, and voted for by
Hiiett and Yancey? The ••dodger” here
makes a most admirable and graceful pm%
sari, skips to the foot-lights, and says we are
mistaken in saying that lint rr voted for the
bill ; and adds that Yancey was not then a
member of the House, without telling u
whether the adu --ion of Oregon did not
make one of the grievances of which he com
plained, and denounce 1 as a Northern aggress
ion. The curtain drops upon him as he con
cludes thus, with touching pathos, upon the
admission of Oregon:
This is a mar ter of no importance, since every one
knows that the clause inhibiting the existence ol
slavery in Oregon was attached to the bill by con
servative men of all parties, with a view of etl'cct
ing a final adjustment of the questi m of slavery
upon the basis of the Missouri Compromise.
And yet. List week, according to our neigh
bor’s way of thinking, the Territory of Ore
gon brought into the confederation, without
slavery, under a democratic administration,
“presented the third occasion” which the
States of the South had for disunion. Now.
neighbor you were not absent when this
ground and lofty tumbling was done; “ Tell
us, Tityrus,” how came this about ?
k Hon. W. K. Sebastian and Col. T. C.
|IIindman left for Vi a -hington last week.
Present State of Affairs
The movements of the Disunionists seem to
be gradually but surely retarding. A short time
after the Presidential election, the destiny of i
the country threatened to be rather a gloomy
one, and we entertained fears of a speedy dis- j
union, and consequently to see the cotton 5
States precipitated into a revolution,” which
would have surpassed in horror and violence
the cruel wars of the barbarous ages. Then,
the people of several of the Southern States
were violently agitated, inflammatory speeches
were addressed by designing demagogues to
reckless crowds of men, drums were sounded,
and the tramp of " Minute Men’* was heard
1 in South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi.Geor
gia and Louisiana. The public apprehension
was greatly increased when the news arrived
that Toombs, of (da., Chesnet and Ham
MOMi, of S. C., had resigned their seat.- in the
Senate of the United States. But, fast upon
the heels of all this came a state of' affairs
which began to bring men to th her,
second thought.” The cotton market stag
nated, North and South, paper money foil be
low its value, markets of all kinds wore
brought to a stand-still, and we are happy to
think that a healthy rc-actren has taken place,
which, we trust, will shortly set matters to
rights again, and learn us all a k—un which
will not be forgotten soon. The Extremists,
North and South, were afflicted in the pocket,
by the troublous state of tire times, and com
menced lending llteirears t<> the whispering* ol
common sense. The fanatics of abolitionism,
seeing that a fearful financial panic wa> about
sweeping over them, were among the first to
exhibit a show of returning reason. We no
tice that a move has been made in the \ or
mont Legislature for the repeal of the per
sonal liberty bill,” with probabilities of suc
cess. This is the measure which, in effect,
nullifies the Fugitive Slave law, which has
been such a source of disturbance between
the North and South. A similar move has
been suggested by some of the New York
papers, and we hope soon to sec the odious
measure removed from the statutes of that
State.
The Secretary of War. IIo.v James B.
Fi.ovn has announced the intention to deliver
tli;; .ml- ami ••r.-vnals ot .‘'•.mlh • ’% :na intact
to his successor, on the 1th of March next.
Senator Toombs has rather hacked down
from his notion to resign until next March

Grit xLicitbor challenges us to an exami
nation of his tiles to see v.he*her or not he
endeavored to teach his n." rs. be foie the
election, that he or his party w ire in favor of
anything else .save sece- -ion, in the event that
Lincoln should be elect- 1 by the people to
theoffiee of President. Wc will certainly in
dulge in tin- pastime, neighbor, as Soon as wc
can p" cure a flic of The Citizi n published
during the canvass. Our party, together with
the followers of Mu. Don;i.as, entertained
■ the belief that thecomman ling officer of the

and you arc the first, we knew of. who now

United States Senator.
As Gen. Hempstead received a plurality
of votes cast in caucus, the other day, at Lit
tle llock. fhr United States Senator from
Arkansas, he has, most probably, been chosen
to fill that position. We arc glad to learn
that he is a conservative politician and decid
edly opposed to secession.
--
The New Orleans '1 rue Delta argues that if
the county parishes of Louisiana desire to se
cede from the Union, the city of New Or
1 ans shoul l secede fr< m Louisiana and set np
an independent community for herself. This
is an argument which reduces the logic of se
: cession to an absurdity.
A resolution passed the House last Tues
day, which provides for the transportation of
the mail from Des Arc to Clarksville, by four
horse coaches.

Truth Ably Expressed.
The lion. Ai.pKRT Rust, in a letter to th *
late Little Rock Ohl Line Democrat, makes
the following .-. nsible and patriotic remarks
in regard to the imagine! troubles existing in
the heated hiatus of the secessionists, and
which seem to be leading them to deeds ol
••direful import;”
L believe, lir-t. that from flic adaption of
the Federal Constitution to the present mo
| merit, the .Southern people have never had
I less cause to eomplain of our Government and
1 threaten its overthrow, than they now have.
It' the most experienced and eulightened
* .-! i:e. UK u of other coimtri- could wit!..
the universal prosperity enjoyed hy the pe .pie
of our own. and at the -ame time, the fear, if
i not the conviction—which is almost as uni
versal—that the government to which we
owe so much of it, i on the brink of disrup
tion, tin v would be driven to the cniiehi-hm
that a genetal luna y hud seized upon t!ie
minds of the Ann ru-an people.
I recognize the elcvti »n of Mr. Lincoln, by
less, perhaps, that om -ihird of the votes ..('

political history i four :■ amtry. will maintain,

to secede i'r m the f uion. Such ;i preten

framed the Constitution.”

Governor’s election and a total reversal of its

The Washington correspondent of Forney’s
Press says among the many propositions for
bringing peace to the country is one that will
no doubt be greatly discussed, which origina
ted with the Hon. Robert J. Walker, and is
to the effect that if the Presidential electors
could be elected in single districts, as Repre
sentatives in Congress are chosen in all the
States in the Union, there would he no dan
ger of a mere geographical or sectional party.
It i- understood that Gov. Walker, at an ear
ly day. intends to elaborate this idea.
. Jo, fyA>'E,—This distinguished gen
tleman, late candidate for the "\ ice Presiden
cy, is in Washington, and of whom the cor
respondent of the St. Louis Republican thus
speaks:
Among those who still laugh at the fears
of secession and disunion, is the late distin
guished candidate for the \ ice Presidency on
the Rreckinride ticket, Gen. Joseph Lane,
lie is now here as calm as a May morning,
and entirely undisturbed at the result ot the
recent election, llis confidence in the sta
bility of the Pnion, he says, is based upon his
respect fur the intelligence ol the bouthein
people, and he indicates the idea that this
Government is a mere rope ol sand, to fall to
pieces at the pleasure oi any one who chooses
to create a little excitement upon the tempura*
ry success of any party or section, llis
judgment, 1 under.-laud, is that siicce-s will
be as totally destructive of Republicanism,.il
not more so. than would have been defeat.it
self. 'i be incongruous materials ol which
the Republican party is composed insursc its
dissolution. Kven m New ioik the ho-tile
factions are already arrayed against each other,
and Mr. Lincoln will iiud it utterly impossi
ble to reconcile them. Should he yield to
the influence of -Seward, Weed, Raymond &
Co., the thundercr of The Tribune, the Chi
cago delegate from Oregon, will turn upon
the new administration with ail his in a hlencd
venom. Should Greeley get the inside track,
the other- will wage a war ot extermination.
Rut the truth of the matter i- all the factions
and cliques of the Republican party are like
ly to he mure or less disappointed it our re
ports from Illinois be reliable. It is said that
Mr. Lincoln is not only in a position to adopt
his own policy of govern incut, regardless ot
patizan views, but that he will call around
him the ablc.-t and most conservative nqm ot
j the country, ignoring alike the extremists ot
: the North and South.
