DES ARC, ARKANSAS:
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28.1859.
Mr. Do colas on a Tour.—Hon.
"Stephen A. Douglas, as we learn from oMr
cxchnnges, is busily engaged in “ a labor
of love” for his own political success. It
seems to have become the chief desire of
his mind to be somebody’s candidate for
the Presidency. His latest political phase
looks exclusively to the North for "aid
and comfort.” The Washington Star
saya that "the political labor of his (Doug
las’s) present tour is to fix his doctrine of
-squatter sovereignty more firmly in the
hearts of the people in States wherein the
Opposition nrc in the ascendency. Yet
alarmed at the reception at the South of
his last bid for abolition sympathy, he is
again approaching that section of the Con
federacy with honeyed phrases, in none
■of which, however, does he take bach his
declaration of adherence to the doctrine
that the squatters in Territories may law
fully deprive the citizens of Southern
States af coequal rights in the common
property of all the sovereigns of the Amer
ican Union. On the contrary, he classes
those who maintain that squatters have no
auch power under the law and Constitu
tion—the whole South—in a category
with those at the North who claim the
Tight of Congress to interfere against the
•existence of slavery in the Territories;
which he now holds to be the right only of
squatters; maintaining, also, that the courts
of the United States may not raise a fin
der by way of interfering with the opera
tion of any "unfriendly legislation” with
reference to the coequal rights of the South,
te which the squatters may resort in the
prosecution of the purposes of the Emi
grant Aid Societies sending them out.
Such is the platform Mr. Stephen Arnold
Douglas has erected for himself. In
mounting it, he has deliberately bartered
the votes of every slaveholding State for
the votes of such at the North as may fancy
his phase of abolitionism more than the
less insidious phase of it involved in the
platform of Senator Seward.”
Col. T. C. Hindman and His Canvass.
We have information from a reliable
•democrat of Conway county, who heard
Col. Hindman and C. A. Carroll, Esa..
at Springfieldpon the 15th, that the peo
ple, en masse, are with Col. Hindman.
The old gentleman said to us, that “Mr.
Carroll would do tolerably well to follow
after such n man as Col. Hindman, and
put up the "little gaps” the Colonel might
leave down in the conrse of his (Col. H’s.,)
speeches, but as to Mr. Carroll’s answer
ing the positions taken by the Colonel, he
hadn’t made a decent stagger towards it.”
A correspondent of the “ Old-Line
Democrat," writing from Springfield, lin
'd eT date of the 15th inst., says:
Col. Hindman led off in a speech of
two hours length. It was one of his hap
piest efforts. He stated briefly his posi
tion on all the important political questions
afiecting the interests of the people of Ar
kansas. He portrayed fully the iniquities
of the Legislative Caucus of November
9th, 1858—showed to the satisfaction of
every unprejudiced mind, that by admit
ting Know-Nothings and disorganizes
into the Caucus, the principles of the
■democratic party were basely slaughtered
—that one of the main pillars that upheld
the party, was knocked out—that the
Johnson faction were responsible for this
outrage upon the democratic party—he ex
posed the trickery of the Per-diem hum
bug—he showed that it wus (he creature
of this central junto, concocted expressly
for the purpose of leading the minds of
the people from that abominable monstrosi
ty—the Senatorial Caucus.
He proved clearly to every unbiased
thinking man, that Gov. Conway’s veto
of the bill to reduce the taxes, was an
outrage upon the people ; an high-handed
act of tyranny and oppression, and that he
was undeserving the confidence of the vo
ters of Arkansas. He also showed the
new Johnsonian process of winding up
banks—that the way they wound up banks
was to borrow all the money out of it,
cause it to break, and then pay it back in
its own depreciated paper—that eight
members of the Johnson family borrowed
from the Real Estate Bank, the sum of
$297,000 ! and paid it back chiefly in chips
and whet-stonesjr-these enormities perpe
trated by the Johnson family, Col. Hind
man proved by regular authenticated doc
uments. It waa not bare assertion, but
proof positive—proof that no man will
question or deny.
At the conclusion of Col. Hindman’s
speech, Mr. Cabkoll arose to reply. He
commenced by declaring himself a candi
date for a seat iu the lower bouse of Con
gress, at the ensuing election. Mr. Cau
roll said he had supported Col. Hind
man cordially at the election in 1858—that
he endorsed his positions, in part, now—
disagreeing with him ouly on minor ques
tions of State policy. He repudiated the
caucus which nominated Sebastian ; said
it was un-Democratic—a direct attack
upon the Democratic party—and further
said he would have bolted before he
would have voted for Sebastian af
ter Hit nomination by that cadcus.
What aays the True Democrat to that ?
Mr. Carroll openly confessed that he
would have encouraged disorganization in
tim democratic ranks! With what con
sistency, then, can the True Democrat
sustain Mr. Carroll? How can the
Democracy sustain a man who openly ad
vocates rebellion and disorganization in I
the {(oily ?
Mr. Carroll took the position, that
the members of the Legislature who took
Per-diem pay for the recess last year,
swindled the State. He said they neither
had the legal nor the moral right to take
pay for services never rendered—and that
they ought to be put to death for doing so.
But he said it was all right for Bo* John
son nnd Judge Sebastian to take the
very same kind of pay! Ye Gods! listen
at his excuse for it. He says it was cus
tomary for Congress to take pay for recess
—custom, then, made it morally right—
custom, then makes it right to steal, ns he
says! What a pitiful argument for an in
telligent man to make. Shame upon him
who would attempt to screen the guilty
from just condemnation—and this man is
the True Democrats candidate for Con
gress.
In entering upon the political arena,
Mr. Carroll attempted to swallow the
whole Johnson faction, but the dose proved
too nauseating for his stomach, which yet
had some relish of decency in it, and he
was compelled to spew up a portion of the
dose, and I think he will get sick of the
broken dose before he gets through this
canvass.
Mr. Carroll is nn enthusiastic, and
to some extent, nn eloquent speaker, and
would make n pretty fair speech in a good
cause, but he has got the “ wrong sow by
the ear," i*hcn he endeavors to vindicate
the treasonable and disgraceful acts of the
Johnson faction before the people of Ar
kansas. They know the Johnson’s too
well—they are tired of the domination of
this corrupt family. You are advocating
an untenable position, Mr. C.
When Mr. Carroll concluded his
speech, Col. Hindman arose and rejoined
in a speech of an hour's length. He
knocked the last prop from under Mr.
Carroll's feet, and left him witiiout a
foot-hold. He showed in a brief but con
clusive manner, the fallacy of Mr. Car
roll’s position—he portrayed with warmth
the trials that the Democratic party had
gono through in 1855 and 1856, in the
battle with Know-Nothingism—how he
raised his voice against that foe, and ex
horted the people to rise in their might nnd
crush it in its infancy—that he had ever
battled against that enemy with unabated
energy, down to tbo present time—and
lastly, when the sanctity of the democratic
party was invaded by permitting know
nothings and disorganizes to come into
a democratic caucus—that he cried out
agninst the intruders, and that he had been
abused for doing so. * * *
" SEARCH THE RECORDS.”
The Washington Constitution is venti
lating the record of Judge Douglas, nnd
making a most triumphant expose of his
inconsistencies. As evidence of the Con
stitution’s success we give the following.
In his speech at Cincinnati Mr. Douglas
said:
“ Examine bills and search the records,
and you will find that the great principle
which underlies those measures is the right
of the people of each State and each Ter
ritory, while a Territory, to decide the
slavery question for themselves.”
Wfi hnvfi. in rnmnlianr.fi with this suit
gestion, “searched the record,’’ says the
Constitution, but do not find that Congress
intended to confer this power upon the
people of the “ Territory while a Territo
ry.” Pending the Nebraska bill before
the Senate, we find that the proposition
was distinctly made to confer this very
power upon the people of the “ Territory
while a. Territory,” and was voted down
ly an overwhelming majority—Mr. Doug
las voting with that majority against the
grant of such power.
It was asserted during the pendency of
the Nebraska bill before the Senate that
it authorized the Territorial Legislature to
exclude Slavery if they desired to do so.
In order to test the matter Mr. Chase, of
Ohio, proposed the following amendment
to the Nebraska bill:
“Under which the people of the Terri
tory, through their appropriate Represen
tatives, may, if they see fit, prohibit the
existence of slavery there.”
The amendment contained precisely
the very doctrine which Stephen A. Doug
las now advocates, and it was voted down,
the vote standing ten for the amendment
and THIRTY-SIX against it, and Mr.
Douglas voting in the negative !
Yeas—Messrs. Chase; Dodge, of Wis
consin, Fessenden, Fish, Foot, Hamlin,
Seward, Smith, Sumner and Wade—10.
Nays—Messrs. Adams, Atchison,
Badger, Bell, Benjamin, Brodhead, Brown,
Butler, Clay, Clayton, Dawson, Dixon,
Dodge, of Iowa, Douglas, Evans, Fitzpat
rick, Gwin, Houston, Hunter, Johnson,
Jones, of Iowa, Jones, of Tennessee, Ma
son, Morton, Norris, Pettit, Pratt, Rusk,
Sebastian, Shields, Slidell, Stuart, Toucey,
Walker, Weller and Williams—36.
“The amendment of Mr. Chase contains
the very doctrine for which Mr. Douglas
is now contending ; and if it had been in
corporated into the bill would have left no
room for doubt or construction on the sub
ject. It was, however, repudiated and re
jected, and Mr. Douglas co-operated with
his Democratic colleagues in such rejec
tion. Mr. Douglas now insists the con
struction which nine Black Republican
Senators attempted in 1854 to put upon
the Nebraska bill is the true Democratic
constitution. He did not think so then.
His Democratic associates who voted
with him do not think so now. We regret
that Mr. Douglas has changed his opinions
on this important question, and warn our
Democratic friends against the danger of
falling into the fatal error of adopting
Black Republican construtions of Demo
cratic measures."—[Memphis Avalanche.

Black Republican Sympathy tor
Mr. Etiieredge ofTenn.—The Louis
ville Journal and other opposition journals
at the South, seem to think that we are
wonderfully out of the way in stating
that Mr. Etheridge, of Tennessee, gets
the sympathy of the Black Republicans of
the North. The Courier and Enquirer
of this city, the only out-and-out Seward
paper here, says it is ‘‘glad that H. Winter
Davis is re-nominated for Congress, and
that such men as Messrs. Gilmer, of N.
C. and Etheridge, ofTenn. nre re-elected,”
and, it adds, “the Republican party can
not give them its regular clasp of fellow
ship ; yet they always will possess its
sincere respect and hearty sympathy.
How could these men have “the sincere
respect and hearty sympathy" of the Abo
litionists, if they were not assisting their
cause. Depend upon it, southern men
deceive themselves when they give such
“aid and comfort” to their enemies as the
election of such men furnish—[New York
