COL. T. C. HINDMAN AND HIS CAN
VASS.
The editor of this paper attended Col.
Hindman's appointment at Col. J. T. Har
alson's, in Saint Francis county, on Mon
day last.
We had been reading what the True
Democrat, Madison Journal, Batesville
Sentinel, el id omnt genus, had to say on
th« subject, aud went over to satisfy our
self, by personal observation, 86 to the
state of public sentiment.
The fist thing that struck our attention
was the size of the crowd. The enemies
of Col. H. have been very energetic in
trying to keep the people from attending
his appointments, just ns the Know-Noth
ings did in 1855 and 1656—and they
meet with just about the same success—
the crowd we saw at Col. Haralson's
being evidence. To ascertain certainly
how many were there, we, in compnny
with a gentleman present, made a “ count,”
while the speaking was going on. We
counted three hundred and sixty ladies
J .1 t .
«»iu ^riuirmru Bfaii'u aruunu me sianu.
It was the largest crowd, as an old settler
told us, that ever assembled in that pau
of the couuty.
Col. Hi* Umax's speech was fully equal
to what his reputation led us to expect. It
was clear, concise, abounding in proof, that
could not be questioned, and free from
everything like low abuse and slang. A
tone of dignity and a look of conscious
rectitude pervaded it, accompanied by
words of such eloquence and power, and
arguments so clear and convincing, that
we very believe there was not a single
Democrat in the audience who did not
feel what the great majority of them un
hesitatingly declared, that “ Hindman is
HIGHT.”
In relation to the “Amalgamation cau
cus," the Congressional election bill, the
Stale lax, the public printing, the Hank
question and the per diem controversy,
the speaker gave the fullest possible in
formation, of which we design availing
ourself hereafter. Suffice it now to say,
that he proved these allegations to be in
contestibly true, viz: That the caucus vo
ted down the Cincinnati platform and ad
mitted Know Nothings to vote in the
nomination of a Democratic candidate for
Senator, and that James B. Johnson,
brother to the Senator and to the editor of
the True Democrat, was concerned in the
plot that led to those iniquities.
That the present -Congressional elec
non ia\v oi Arkansas is violative or the
Constitution of the United States, and that
the bill to change the time, vetoed by
Gov. Conway last winter, was a wise and
necessary measure.
That the Gov. ought not to have “smoth
ered” the bill reducing the State tax, and
that be and his supporters are responsible
lor taking $300,000 unnecessarily from
the tax piycrs.
That the people’s money has been
shamefully squandered in thopublic print
ing, for the special benefit of the True
D ■mocrat.
That the “family"are entitled to very
little cred't, if any, for winding up the
Banks, ns eight members only of the John
son family, borrowed and enjoyed 5297,
000 from the Ileal Estate Bank, and they
ought to be very well content to “wind it
tip” without charge.
On iho per diem question, Col. Hind
max showed that Senators Johnson and
Sebastian had been in the regular habit
of taking the very same sort of per diem
from the Federal treasury that their friends
have raised such a clamor about the taking
of from the State treasury. This was
proved by official documents. It puts the
True Democrat and its co-workers in rath
er an unenviable attitude. The people
will not sustain demagogueism. If it was
wrong, as we have always insisted, to
take per diem for the recess of the State
Legislature, it was equally wrong to take
per diem for recess of Congress. What
has the True Democrat to say on this sub
ject?
As to the morality or propriety of taking
the per diem, Col. H. observed that that
was a matter to be decided by the people
themselves. He considered the members
legally entitled to it, but left it with the
people to say w hether that legal right
ought to have been claimed. He insisted,
however, that if our legislative per diem
i>ls should be beheaded for taking four
dollars a day for services not rendered,
our Congressional per diemisls (Senators
Johnson and Sebastian) ought to be
crucified for taking eight dollars a day
for services not rendered. Universally
his hearers coincided with him.
Col. H's. effort here, yesterday, was |
replete with facts, and although his audi- 1
eace was but about two hundred—many
believing that it would be out of his pow- ,
er to fill the appointment that had been
made for him at Des Arc—he fully sus
tained his position before the masses, and '
left a lasting impression upon their minds :
that he was right in defending his politi-11
ical and personal character which has. for
several months past, been so violently and
malignantly assailed by the Johnson
faction, through their accredited organ at
Little Rock.
Our space does not admit of a more ex
tended notice of Col. Hr n dm an’s able and
eloquent speeches. We advise all who wish
to hear the whole truth l.oldly slated, to
attend his appointments; and we suggest
to his enemies, that the facts he substan
tiates, with their bitter abuse of him and
low-down efforts to prevent the attendance
of the people, make him warm friends ev
ery day. Success to Hindman, say we.
“If that be treason, make the most of it.”
Col. J. J. Pettus, op Mississippi, on
the Territorial Question.-The Mem
phis Jtvalanche says, that the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Mississippi
leaves no room for conjecture about any
topic affecting the constitutional rights of
the South, and her duty in the presence of
the dangers which lie in her pathway.
Upon the territorial question, he is bold
and explicit in the declaration of his opin
ions, as well ns clear and convincing in
the argument by which Ins conclusions are
reached. The result of his convictions is
thus summed up in the DeKalb DemocraCs
sketch of his sppech at Scooba ;
“ He was in favor of protection to slave
ry in the Territories—thought that it was
the duty of Congress to pass laws for its
protection as property—that protection to
property was one of the chief ends of
governments—that this protection to slave
rv in the Territories was in aeenrrlanep
with the constitution; and that it was in
unison with the spirit of fraternity which
resulted in the formation of the Federal
compact by the States. Upon this ques
tion of protection. Col. Pettus was pecu
liarly full, lucid, and elaborate.”
-
An Honest Confession.—The London
Times, after a view of the actual condition
of the British West India Islands and a
contrast of their former prosperous condi
tion with their present state of decline,
closes with the following emphatic para
graph against the policy of black emanci
pation.
We wish to heaven that some people in
England—neither government, people,
nor parsons, nor clergymen—but some
just minded, honest-hearted and clear
sighted men would go out to some of the
islands—say Jamaica, Dominica or An
tigua, not for a month, or three months,
but for a year—would watch the precious
proetge of English philanthropy, the freed
negro in his daily habits; would watch
him as he lazily plants his little squatting;
would see him as he proudly rejects agri
cultural or domestic set vice, or accepts it at
only wages ludicrously disproportionate
to the value of his work. We wish, too,
they would watch him while, with a hide
thicker than a hippopotamus, and a body to
which fervid heat is a comfort rather an
annoyance, he lounges over the pre
scribed tnsk on which the intrepid English
man, unaccustomed and uninured to the
heat consumes his impatient energy,
and too often sacrifices his life. We wish
they would go out and view the negro in
all the blazonry of his idleness, his pride,
his ingratitude, contemptously sneering at
the industry of that race which made him
free, and then come home and teach the
liteonn r\ C I Vi n 1 !■ O V n •> I' 1 fmO.1 f /■»
the fanatics who have perverted him into
what he is.

De Bow’s Review on Mr. Douglas.—
De Bow’s Review—that most unflinch
ing champion of every southern interest—
concludes an unfavorable criticism on Mr.
Douglas’ views, with the following pas
sage:
In his extenuation, however, it must be
allowed, that, for all practical interests,
his tmgenerous departure from the ortho
dox faith is utterly without significance.
With regard to the ultimate status of a Ter
ritory , it is not a matter of the remotest
consequence whether the question of slave
ry is disposed ofby the Territorial legisla
ture, or by its constitutional convention.—
If the majority want slavery they’ll have it
and if they don’t want it, theyll reject it.—
Postponing the question until the framing
of the Constitution, though right in princi
ple is of small importance in practice.
The history of the last three or four
new states brings the southern tnind face
to face with two great facts, which it can
not escape a knowledge of, if it would.—
These are, that the North, having the sur
plus population, will always outstrip the
the south in peopling new territories; and
that so long as the prices of negroes keep
them out of the hands of the northern em
igrants, who are chiefly poor men, so long
will new territories be framed into free
Stales. It is well that these facts are now
pressing on the south. They will now fi
nally drive her to the true solution of the
vexed negro question; for when she at last
realizes that slave states can only be con
structed on the basis of cheap negroes, she
will consent to reopen the trade with Af
rica.

Ore*on all Right.—The official re
turns from Oregon, as received by the last
Overland Mail, elect Lansing Stout, the
democratic candidate, for Governor. The
majorities foot up Stout 1,300; Logan Re
publican, 1,225; majority for Stout 45.—
The Democratic candidate did not receive
a full party vote. Many Democrats were
lissatisfied with the defeat of Mr. Grover,
in the State Convention, and rather than
vote lor Stout, refused to appear at the
polls. Some, doubtless, cast their ballots
mr Logan. It is a fixed tact, however,
hat the Democracy have again carried
Jregon. Let them keep it. Mr. Stout 1
irrived in Portland from Salem on the
.‘veiling of the 12th of July, and was re
wived with much enthusiasm by his friends.

Making Presidential Candidates
—Under this caption we find the follow
ing in the SI. Louis Republican of the 23r
inst:
Mr. D. W. Bartlett, of the Southeri
District of New York, has undertaken ti
make Presidential candidates for the peo
pie of the United States, to he used in 18
60. He has found twenty-one, who an
supposed to be adequate to this duty, ant
trots them out, with the history of all then
best points for a race. The table of con
tents ranks them in this order: Win. H
Seward. Stephen A. Douglas, Salmon P
Chase, Edward Bates, Daniel S. Dickin
son, John Bell, John P Hale, Alex. H
Stephens, N. P. Banks, Jo. Lane, John
McLean, Henry A. Wise, R. M. T.
Hunter, Henry Wilson, James H. Ham
mond, Howell Cobb, John C. Brecken
ridge, and John C. Fremont. There are
360 pages in the book, and to the five first
named personages in the series one hun
dred and fifty pages are devoted, Mr,
Seward occupying forty-two pages. We
are inclined to think the people may go
out of the line prescribed by Mr. Bartlett,
and select some man not named or dreamed
of by him. Stranger things have happened.

Death or an old Horse once owned
by Gen. Jackson.—The Juniata (Pa.)
Sentinel notices the death of a celebrated
horse who had attained the incredible age
of forty-one years. The Sentinel says:
•‘He was the property of Mrs. S. O. Evans
of Delaware township, Juniata county.—
The horse was formerly in the possession
of Gen. Jackson, and given by him to Gen.
Geo. Cramer, of Union (now Snyder)
county, and by him to his son-in-law, Mr,
Evans. For several years he has been
unable to masticate and was fed with
bran, etc. I he history of the horse is no!
fiction, hut the facts related can be fully
corroborated. The defunct carcass of this
famous old horse was interred with all due
solemnities “in the presence of a large
concourse of his old friends.”

A Venerable Bishop.—The Rev,
Joshua Soule, D. D., senior Bishop of the

ered a sermon at Lebanon, Ohio, on the
31st ultimo. It is stated that some of his
allusions to his early ministerial life, the
deatiis of his former colleagues, Wheat
coat, Mc’Kendree, George and others
were very touching. “Sixty years ago,”
said the Bishop, “on the 5th of January
last, I left my father’s home to begin the
work of a Methodist travelling preacher
and this day. July 31,1 close the 78th yeai
of my life.” He spoke with his usual dis

The African Slave Trade.—A
New Orleans correspondent writes the
following to the Charleston Courier:
Chatting with some friends the othei
evening, the African slave trade topic
came up, from a newspaper paragraph
about the subject in Texas. One of the
gentlemen said that lie was aware of the
fact that the parties interested expected tc
have fourteen vessels on the way this fal
from the coast of Africa to the coast o
Texas, and counted on landing, wilhou
interruption, the “live” cargoes of seven o
their vessels.
