THE NECESSITY OF DEMOC
RACY.
Although the great and lime honored
Democratic party lias sustained defeat,
it is not finally vanquished, nor never
can be, so long as it draws support from
those principles that have ever given it
life and must remain in themselves im
perishable. Three fourths of the years
that have made up the last three quar
ters of a century have witnessed this
party in power, and tinder its guidance
the people have prospered and the
country been benefitted. Upon this
subject a cotemporary says: “Every
Democratic administration has either
brought new blessings and honors to
the people or it lias not taken away or
diminished those before enjoyed. On
the contrary, every anti-Democratic ad
ministration has either brought with it
no special good or it lias brought evil,
or at least evil has come with it. Such
is the record of history. While the
Democratic party lias, when in posses
sion of power, rendered the most im
portant service to the country, it lias
also, when out of power, always excr
. cised a powerful restraining influence
over other adininstratious, mid thus
continued to serve and benefit the
country. It will, though once more
slightly outnumbered, continued to
wield a powerful influence for good.
It is a great, constiluiional, Conserva
tive party. It is strictly a national
party. It. Is powerful from I hat fact,
it is powerful from its organization,
from its numbers and ability. It is
powerful from the groat principles on
which it stands, and it is powerful by
reason of its great services rendered
uic i'uuim \ mi uie
The wildest Radical in Congress
must act under some restraint in the
presence of sneli a party, especially
when he reflects that there may be
some prudent men even in his own
party who may not lie willing to fol
low his lend too far.
It is most fortunate for the country
that the Democratic party, so often by
Radicals pronounced dead and buried,
is still a mighty power in the land. If
in the last eight years the Radicals
have in the face of such a party dared
to run into so many alarming extremes
and commit so many wicked outrages,
to what lengths may they not have
proceeded had there been no such
strong party vigorously contending
for the right? And now at this time,
the hope and the faith of the patriot
must be sustaiued by the fact that
though tlie Radical party has after a
desperate conflict obtained a victory,
tiic Democratic party is strong and nn
shakefl. If is still In the field, well or
ganized and prepared for defense or
attack.”
Xo greater curse could befall the
country than the disbandment of ibis
great party. In its principles just,
and in itw nature pure, it must exert a
controling influence even amidst de
feat. Only those parties that are evil
in their tendency mid unjust in their
principles, are ever destroyed, lienee,
our party though seemingly driven
from tiic field is not conquered or
weakened. ‘•Standing firmly on its
own wise principles, acting justly and
prudently, carefully preserving its or
ganization everywhere, it will be a
Stronger party in 1809 than in 1808.
and stronger each year till 1872, when
I lie people will call upon it to save the
government and restore the prosperity
and happiness of the people.

Were otl'eivd on tlie subject of Protetc

citement—wi ought up to the highest

further suggestions on the subject of
Protection 1:51 tlie din of poiilicul strife
liad hushed, and the smoke IVoin the
great battle-field had been borne aw iv
by the November blasts. lint the
election lias now passed and -till the
wheels of time roll on; the sun ca
reers through the heavens, and the
stars shine as of old—not withstanding'
all the crankings rtf i11-om aied crows.
The tanners are industriously engaged
in gathering their well earned crops,
and are being richly rewarded in quan
tity and quality of productions, and
tlie prices they realize for such articles
ns they bring lo market, In fuel, we
a« n people have many causes for con- !
gratuhitinn ami rejoicing. Prosperity !
smiles upon earnest efforts in every de
partment of business; at no time since i
tlie late war have tlie people of Arkan
sns had so many iiiduceftjeiits to bold j
up their beads and press onward and
upward till they make our State what
it will one day be—the prtde and boast
ot the South and West. 13nt to return ;
to our subject; we use the term pro
tection in a special and somewhat re
stricted sense, by applying it to the j
protection of every effort that is being
made to build mechanic shops, machine I
shops, tuiils, fouiuleries, schools, and i 1
every species of art and skill that tends :
to develop the resources of the country
and stimulate the energy of our people, <
end iuvite immigration into our State.
Let us t'qr a moment look at the facts
ns they exist; what are we doing to
make ourselves an Independent, self- !
retying people? What are we pro-I
ducing in this country but the raw 1
material? every dimes worth of which ■
we send away to be wrought into sle-p ■* i
and fabrics and refitiiic-J to us, with all'
tlie costs of transporu.tiou. commits
sions, insurance, &c. Do yon want an
ax handle, a hoe. trace chains, axes,
hats, shoes, jeans, tin cups, plows, har
ness, rope and bagging, llnsey, common
cotton cloth, or domestic; lit fine, any
thing and every tiling, and you go to
the store without otic time thinking of
patronizing and protecting home in
dustry, by every effort to encourage
| men to build shops and machinery for
making these things at home; it. has
been done elsewhere and why may we
not do tlie same thing in Arkansas?
Hut if we fold our arms and say let
mime one else take hold; those that
succeed ns will accomplish what wo
fail to do ; hut wc are not without hope
of a better day soon to dawn upon us,
for there are some enterprising public
spirited pieti among us whose energy
and example will doubtless induce
others to put forth their efforts in en
terprises so laudable. As is known to
the people of Dcs Arc and contiguous
country, we at this plarc have one of
the largest and host saw mills in the
State, from which large quantities of
the best lumber are bring constantly
shipped to different points; alstf, one
of the finest corn and wheat mills any
where in the Southwest. The flour
made at these mills equals any made in
the East. West or North, besides these
mills give employment to quite a num
ber of hands, thereby sustaining anil
improving every other department ol
business in and around Dcs Arc.
Messrs. Ten Eyck. Soule & Co. catnc to
our town since the war entire strangers
in tliis part of the country, but they
brought witli them nerve, energy, tal
ents and capital, and as a matter of
course they have succeeded, as such
men always do succeed ;they have pur
sued an even, quiet and at the same
time a gentlemanly and high toned
course ; and it certainly is the interest
as well as the duty of the people here
to patronise and encourage these gen
tlemen in their noble enterprise, for in
so doing the citizens will display an ap
preciating spirit, and at the same time,
protect and build up their own interest.
Two shops were recently opened here,
one a gunsmith shop, the other a black
smith shop, the former is carried on by

The opening of the lower house of
the assembly on Monday, reminded
one very much of an angry hear or a
mad hull. Brooks of Phillips, intro
duced the resolution endorsing Clay
ton s action in tlie matter of proclaim
ing martial law in eleven counties of
the state, to be found in the house
proceedings, with a seriousness ol
manner absolutely ludicrous. Ibis
plausible divine, who has evidently
seen too much of sacred history not to
understand the Pharisaical character,
proclaimed that those who did not
obey the laws “must die,-’and they had
as well “make their wills.-’ The gov
ernment must he sustained, or the
! country ‘•from tlie Missouri border to
Texas would he made a desert wiste.”
This humble follower of the meek and
lowly .Jesus evidently forgot tha* crime
consists in the intent, and that it is
usual in civilized countries to graduate
the punishment of law-breakers accor\,
ding to the magnitude of their crimes.
More than this, ids feigned earnestness,
and indecent haste to press the resolu
tion through, together With his violent
; manner, was too apparent to all. It
would doubtless have been well, not to
say candid, had the house been eonsid
! crate enough to have awaited documen
tary evidence from Clayton or others
that would justify intelligent action in
premises. We dotiht whether a half
dozen of the sixty members present
knew anyt liing about t he state of affairs
in the counties placed under uiAl'tinl
lnw. Had this course been pursued.
Parson Butler might have been saved

We take the following items from tlic
Camden Bulletin of Nov 21st.
The Fioiit at Centre Foist —
Through a private letter from Murfrees
boro, Pike county, wo learn that a fight
occurred at Centre Point, Sevier county,
between the militia and the citizens, in
which one of the militia and twelve or
fifteen citizens were killed, ami several
others wouuded. Of the citizens killed,
are Billy Woodruff, Col. McGuire, two
Hester’s and two men who were supposed
to be travelers as they could not be idctiti
tied. The letter iiifortps us that the
militia took from the citizens in Pike
county, all their aims, ammunition and
such other articles as might he needed for
warlike purposes. The difficulty at
Centre Point occurred on Wednesday the
lltli inst.
Difficulty in Sevier County.—We
are informed that a difficulty occurcd at
Centre Point on Saturday evening be
tween the militia and the citizens, ill
which three citizens and three militiamen
were killed. We understand that the
militia arrested sonic of the most, promi
nent citizens. Some of these were subse
quently released. We learn further that
the militia were making depredations on
the property of citizens. We fear this is
too true, but will hope for the better, i
Wo deem the whole ill ng a calamity.
From the Washington Telegraph, we j
gather some fuither particulars of the'fight j
—no not fight, the murdering at Centre
Point. The account is pretty much the
same as that we have heard already, ex
cept that there seems to have been no
attack by the citizens, but thatMheniiliria
began the slaughter wontonly. We have
not. space for comments
Baker—We learn from the Daily
Bulletin, that this notorious personage has
left the State with his clansmen to join
the Cuban expedition. We hope he may
be successful and make Cuba his home
for all time como.
Arkansas will gladly dispense with his
presence, feeling that she is relieved of
one of her worst enemies.
Such men as Baker is reputed to he,
can do no good. hut. harm all the time ;
and wherever they make their apperance.
the citizens should at once take steps to
drive them off or bring them Injustice.

Radical tlfirands Upon tlic Sext
Adniinitii ration.
Now lei us turn to discover, if we can
some of the tliiiiL's which have been
decided that wc may possibly discern j
of iho luture.
1. It is decided tlmt the President
is not to have a policy diftcrotit from ;
that, of Congress. 1 know there are
aiready men in the Democratic party
who have been supporting Blair with
his revolution, arid Seymour with his
copperhentlism. uttering their flatteries ;
and I a wiling round the new man. Hut
they have overlooked the new state of
facts, (jrant is not a twig to be twist
ed, and thoroughly understands their
character and motives. But imUq...
of tilings j?, changed. First, Congress
lias taken from the President much of
liis power, and Grant so construes it.
and so means it, as lie lms put upon
record in one of liis letters. Secondly
—Grant is remarkable for common
sense, and no sensible man on earth will
ever follow tin* example of Johnson.
Third y—Grant has expressly declared
that lie will have no policy ditferent
from that of Congress, who represent
the people. This is conclusive. I do
not mean, nor does General' Grant, that !
that he will have no policy—that is ;
no principles—in Ids own Executive!
admiiiisl! ilion. That would be wrong, ]
The Constitution Inis made the Presi
dent responsible for that; but in the I
general affairs of the country a wise
man will let his actions he shaped by
events Mr. Johnson, and 1 believe Mr.
Reward, said that Johnson followed
Lincoln's policy. Lincoln never had a i
policy. lie wisely left events to shape j
ids policy. Ills aets were passed on
hy tin* people and necessity. When he I
went down to Kichmpiid he called the I
Virginia Legislature together, and it
N said that Sherman made Ids Cnnveii- j
tion with Johnson on the idea that it
was Lincoln's policy, but when Lincoln .
got hack to Washington, he was told
that no such scheme of revived rebels
would do; and be prudently conform
ed to public opinion. The Virginia
Legislature was suppressed and Slier*
in aids Convention forbidden. Grant
Ini* said, and unless be becomes insane,
ivi‘,'1 have no separate and peculiar
nolicv’ «f Ills own any subject which
icquire* .'egislaliflil. ;
2. The lieu' rebellion In • he* South,
must he suppressed, nu in"*11t*r at what
2091. The murders, HMi*sar,'ri. mol
scenes transacted in the Souih I *1 r the
!»ast few mouths are a disgrace l<> civ-,
,Mention, to Chrlsliniiity, and to repub
ican government. We must suppress
mil punish Ihe offenders, if we do it J
ivitli Ihe edge of the sword. 1 hose j
Slates in which such acts are permit
ed should lie declared in insurrection.
Louisiana should be made an example j
if, if necessary. 1 hope and believe .
bat Ihe simple election of Grant will
irlng peace Ullt tlial is not all. The
dark limn must be sustained, without j
ear or favor, in all liis rights as a citi- J.
en and A man. Ho must go to the!
mils willi as little fear as a citizen of /
sew York, and tf the blacks make a j "
unjority of I lie people, they must be
iiistaiiied in llielr rijdit to govern.
iVliat! shall New Yorifbu werwhelub- v
id with tlie vote of iftgvfrnnt Irish,'
md the native Americans of Louisiana
ic. driven from the polls, because they I
rote the Republican ticket ? No, in a re
publican government the majority
govern; and the Democratic parly
shall submit to the principle* it an
nounced. It shall drink the cup of its
own poison to the dregs.
3. The act of naturalization must no
more bo perverted into a fraud upon
tlie people. Yon have said the truth
in fbc Times, neeording to the Consti
tution. The act of naturalization is a
national act. It makes a national citi
zens, and no State court lias anything
to do with it. Every intelligent law
yer knows that the mode of naturali
zation before the late election, was, in
thousands of cases, illegal, even if done
with no had motives. In Ohio, in sev
eral counties, the clerks of the Probate
Courts went out witii blanks and nat
uralized people wherever they could
be found. The persons, in some in
stances. have been arrested, and I hope
will he visited with the utmost penal
ties of the law. Congress will take
this matter in hand, and I hope no
State court will be allowed to make
citizens of the United Stntcs. It lias
been a mere clinging to the false view
of State Rights which the Democratic
party lias constantly been cherishing,
till at last it nrnrl v destroyed the Re
public.—N. Y. Times.
