THE OLD-LINE DEMOCRAT:
TO BE PUBLISHED WEEKLY, AT LITTLE
ROCK, ARKANSAS.
Terms—One Copy, One Year, $150 each,
(Payable on Receipt of the first JVo.)
Democracy of Phillips comity as
sembled in mass meeting, at Helena, on
Monday, May 23, 1859, and adopted the fol
lowing resolution:
“ Inasmuch as the Old-Line Democracy of
Arkansas have no organ at our State cap
ital,—the so-called “ True Democrat” being
wholly subservient to the wishes of certain
politicians and regardless of the welfare of the
party at large—therefore the Chairman of
this meeting is hereby requested to appoint a
committee of three Democrats of this county,
whose duty it shall be to correspond with
Democrats throughout the State, asking their
co-operation in the establishment, at Little
Rock, of an organ of the Democratic masses,
pledged to maintain State-Rights principles,
to uphold the convention system in its purity,
to oppose all fusions and coalitions, to advo
cate the interests of ths whole party, and to re
main forever free from the control of any as
pirant, clique, or faction.”
The foregoing statements and conclusions
are undeniably correct. The rank and file of
our party—the “honest, hard-fisted yeoman
ry,” who do our voting and win our victories,
without other hope of reward than the coun
try's good and the approval of their own con
sciences—have no mouthpcace at Little Rock.
The so-called ‘ True Democrat’ makes blind
obedience to a clique of office-holders and of
fice-seekers the test of orthodoxy, and de
nounces as “ traitors” and “ disorganize™”
all who would notkiss the feet of those lordly
nristocrats. Yet, while thus arrogantly ex
nommunicating men who never flinched-inAfae^
idvocacy of our principles, who never hesi
:ated to sustain our usages, and whose only
lin is that they scorn to acknowledge a master,
bat paper itseir is edited by an ex-Wbig, ex
Know-Nothing, latter-day convert—Is the
ipologist of a coalition with opr political en
nies—and the defender of the fraudulent ad
nission of Know-Nothing and Disorganizers
nto Democratic conventions I
It is not to be expected that Democrats will
icquiesce in such abuses and submit to such
ntolerable presumption. They cannot do so
without abandoning their ancient landmarks,
lacrificing all their party dignity, and forfeit
ng all their individual self-respect. Hence
he action of the Phil’ps Democracy in the
iremises. Hence, also, this appeal to every
food Democrat in the State, to aid in carrying
>ut their suggestion.
The intention is to issue the first number of
rhe Old Line Democrat in August next. Each
'riend of the enterprise is therefore requested
;o obtain, immediately, as many subscribers
is possible, on the terms set forth at the be
;inning of this prospectus, and forward the list
without delay, to The Old Line Democrat,
:are of James Blackburn, Helena, Arkansas.
“ A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull alto
jether” will insure success!

SUNSET.
See the sun in beauty setting,
Lighting up the western sky :
Slowly sinking, disappearing,
As he downward passes by.
Now with cheering beams enlivening
Darkness deep—far, far below}
On to wake the sleeping nations,
On rich blessings to bestow.
Now he leaves us—twilight glimmers,
Twinkling stars with beauty glow:
Each a shining part performing,
In the great, majestic show.
See the brilliant constellations,
Rising at the appointed time;
Never varying—never straying.
On their distant journey shine.
’Round the polar star revolving,
Ever moves the Dipper bright:
On its course unerring pointing,
To that fixed mysterious light.
Yonder in the East appearing,
Pleiades in grandeur lone ;
With sweet influence, now as ever,
In the days of Job they shone.
Nightly thus the starry hosts,
In turn a wondrous part perform,
And while the shades of night prevail,
Their Maker’s mighty works adorn.
ME. DOUGLAS IN A NEW CHAEAC
TEE.
The New Orleans Delia has an article
under the above capt ion, from which we
extract the following:
Once Mr. Douglas was a favorite wilt
the Democratic party. Twice the Dem
ocratic party narrowly escaped nominating
him as its candidate for the Presidency
During a great portion of his career ii
looked on him as one of the most reliable
exponents of its principles, its sympathiet
and its aspirations. His views on ques
tions of policy or principle were always
considered important, and generally be
lieved to be sound. The Democratic partj
took great interest in Mr. Douglas in those
days—especially the Southern portion of ii
—and was always anxious to know whai
he thought and how he stood. Things
have changed since that time. Positions
are reversed. The Democratic party has
pretty generally ceased to concern itsell
about Mr. ^Douglas’ soundness or safety;
but in the meantime Mr. Douglas has
been getting mure and more anxious
about the Democratic party’s safety and
soundness. This feeling has worked a
marvelous change in Mr. Douglas’ char
acter. It appears to have lamentably
modified his ambition, and dampened the
ardor of his Presidential aspirations.—
Once he seemed willing enough to take a
Democratic nomination without much in
quiry of any sort. Now he has become sc
scrupulous and fastidious that he could
with difficulty be persuaded to accept the
Democratic nomination, even should the
Charleston Convention lay it at his feet,
He must first know that the Democratic
party is going to take ground identical
with that which he occupies. But he seeme
to fear that this will not be the case. He
fears—this unfortunate statesman, fall of
memories, but destitute of hopes—that he
will be left alone and unhouored on hit
platform of compromises, and obsolete
constructions.
• #1 # » #
Now, w^en Mr. Douglas tries tc
frighten the public by talking about s
Slave Code, he is doing nothing more
.1 n• ■ __ i _.. j ___:_ l_A
IUUU UU1U imuiwo ut mvii iivhww
If the claim of the South, that the princi'
pie of equality in the Territories be recog
nized, by affording the same protection u
Southern property that is afforded to anj
other property, is a just and reasonable
claim, it is of little consequence that Mr
Douglas calls this a demand for a “ Slave
Code.” To be sure, it is not true that thi
South has ever aeked for a Congressiona
“ Slave Codebut if this should be the
only means of enforcing a just claim, ant
carrying out a true principle, then thi
South would be perfectly justified in mak
ing the demand, whenever she migh
find such a course coincident with her in
terests.
With what purpose Mr. Douglas luggei
in the question of an increased supply o
African labor for the South, we can onl;
explain by those general Northern pro
clivities which mark his present course
Nobody has shown any desire to mak
that question a party test, or to impose ii
in any shape, on the Democratic Conven
tion. Certainly we who think the hop
and safety of the South lie ultimately ii
her own strength and her own convictions
would never wish to submit the control c
such a question to a great party organiza
tion which has other purposes to serve am
other affinities to cultivate. No! Mi
Douglas knows very well there is no dan
ger of any such demand being made upoi
the Charleston Convention, or the Nations
Democratic party. That question is to b
first discussed and settled, so far as settle
ment is practicable, in and by the SeutI
But in the meantime Mr. Douglas ma
gain much credit in the North for this pei
fectly gratuitous, and therefore, perhaps
the more generous and disinterested avow
al of opposition to somethiug which nc
body in the world contemplates.

Retaliation.—A letter in the Par
Siecle, dated Vercelli, May 30th says thi
Garibaldi, on being told that the Austrian
| having laid their hands upon one of h
1 followers broken down by fatigue net
Varese, had hung him up to the neare
i tree, exclaimed, “The cowards! I wi
sift this story to the bottom, and if I fin
» it true, I'll shoot every Austrian office
that I have made prisoner."
REVOLUTIONARY ANECDOTE.
One of the regiments in the battle ol
Bennington was commanded by a Colonel,
who, when at home, was a deacon. He
was a calm, sedate, determined man, and
went to the battle because he was compell
ed by the sense of duty. His whole par
ish was in his regiment; so was his be
loved pastor, without whose presence and
blessing they scarcely thought themselves
in a way to prosper. The Colonel was
ordered by General Stark to reinforce one
of the wings, which was suffering severe
ly. He marched at the inslant with his
' forces, but as slowly and composedly as if
he had been marching to a conference
meeting. The officer in command of the
corps to be relieved, fearing that he should
be compelled to give way, sent to hasten
the Colonel. “ Tell ’em we’re coming,”
said he, and marched steadily on. A sec
ond messenger came, with the intelli
gence that the wing was beginning to fall
back. “ That will make room for us, tell
’em we’re coming,” replied the Colonel,
with unmoved countenence and unac
celerated pace. A third messenger reach
ed him, just as his troops emerged from
behind a coppice, in full view of the ene
my, whose balls now began to whistle
about them. "Halt!” commanded the
Colonel; “ form column and attend pray
ers.” And there, in the face of the ene
my, did the regiment pause while solemn
prayer was offered for their success in the
deadly struggle they were about to begin!
Proitar huinrr on Hpfl t tip Cnlnnpl nddrpK*.
ed his men in a speech, which, for brevi
ty, conciseness, and vigor, may bear com
parison with any that Caesar or Napoleon
ever addressed to their troops. “ Sol
diers," said he, “ our wives and children
are in the rear; the Hessians are in
front; give it to them!” They did ‘give
it to them,’ and the band of foreign
mercenaries melted away before these
Christian soldiers, as the hosts of uncir
cumcised Philistines melted away before
the armies of Israel.—[Rev. Pliny H.
White.
A Great Man.—George Lippard, in
his work called the Nazarene, thus speaks
of President Jackson: “ He was a man!
Well I remember the day I waited upon
him. He sat there in his arm chair—I
can see him now. We told him of the
public distress—the manufacturers ruin—
the shrouded eagles in crape, which were
carried at the head of 20,000 men into
Independence Square. He heard us all.
We begged him to leave the deposits
where they were, to* uphold the great
bank at Philadelphia. Still he did not
say a word. At last one of the members
more fiery than the rest, intimated that if
the bank was crushed, a rebellion might
follow. Then the old man arose. I can
see him yet.
‘‘Come,’’ he shouted in a voice of
thunder, as his clenched hand was raised
high above his white hair. “ Come with
bayonets in your hands instead of peti
tions—surround the While House with
your legions—I am ready for you! with
the people at my back, whom your
gold can neither awe nor buy, 1 will
swing you up around the Capitol—each
one of you on a gibbet as high as Ha
man’s !’’
“ When I think,” says the author; “ of
that one man standing there at Washing
ton, battling against all the powers of
bank and panic combined, betrayed by
those in whom he trusted—assailed by all
that the snake of malice could hiss or the
fiend of falsehood could howl—When I
think of thfit one man placing his back
against tne roctc ana ioiamg nis arms mr
1 the blow, while he uttered his vow, “1
will not swerve one inch from the course I
1 have taken,”—I must confess that the
records of Rome—rnay the proudest days
of Cromwell or Napoleon—cannot fur*
' nish an instance of a will like that of An*
^ drew Jackson—when he placed life and
' soul and fame on the hazzard of a die for
' the people’s welfare.—[Providence Senti

1 Personal Appearance op Gari
' baldi.—The following is a description ol
I Garibaldi, given in a communication from
C Lombardy:
j He is lofty of stature, broad shoulder
. ed—the head of a lion on the shoulders of
an athlete. His long, black, grizzly, un
> combed beard; his black felt hat, orna
mented with dark plumes; his scarlei
.’ mantle tied round his throat, present tc
} you a person of no ordinary stamp. I am
t everywhere assured that he is really a
gentleman, gallant to ladies, severe tc
f men, and more severe to himself—6ober
. to excess, animated and cold at the same
| time. He inspires in his little army s
confidence only equaled by the terror he
. inspires in his enemies. Ever the fore
i most in the fight, urging hi3 charger intc
I the thickest battalions, dismounting now t<
3 seize a musket, sharing with the meanes
. follower the labor of the march, he gives
. an evidence alike of courage and coolness
f that astonishes all.
, Vert Hard.—A jolly fellow had ai
* office next to a doctor’s. One day at

blundered into the wrong shop.

The Swims as a Cube pob Consump
tion.—Dr. Lawson Long, of Holyoke,
Mass., writes to the editor of the Spring
field Republican as follows:
1 wish to say a few words to “ whom it
may concern” on the use of the swing
one of the gymnastic exercises— as a pre
ventive and cure of pulmonary disease. I
mean the suspending of the body by the
hands, by means of a strong rope, or chain,
fastened to a beam at one end, and at the
other a stick three feet long, convenient to
grasp with the hands. The rope should
be fastened to the center of lEe Slick, which
should hang six or eight inches above the
head. Let a person grasp this stick, with
the hands two or three feet apart, and
swing very moderately, at first—perhaps
onlv bear the weicrht. if verir weak—and
gradually increase, as the muscles gain
strength from the exercise, until it may
be freely used from three to five times
daily.
The connection of the arms with th«
body (with the exception of the clavicU
with the terminum or breast-bone,) being
a muscular attachment to the ribs, the ef
fect to this exercise is to elevate the ribi
and enlarge the chest; and aa nature al
lows no vacuum, the lungs expand to fill
the cavity, increasing the volume of air—
the natural purifier of the blood-^-and pre
venting congestion or the deposit of tuber
culous matter. 1 have prescribed the abov«
for allcasea^of hemorrhage of the lungsanc
threatened consumption for thirty-fivt
years, and have been able to increase thi
measure of the chest from two to foui
inches within a few months, and aiwayi
with good results. Fut, especially as t
preveutive would I recommend this ex
ercise. Let those who love life cokivau
a well formed, capacious chest. The ala
dent, the merchant, the sedentary of bell
sexes aye, all should hafre a swing upoi
which to stretch themselves ^ daily; and !
am morally certain that if this were to b<
1 practiced by the rising generation in i
' dress allowing a full and free develop
ment of the body, thousands, yes, tens e
■ thousands, would be saved from the rav
- ages of that opprobrium medicorum, con
sumption.
