IjgjT The names of several candidates for

printing the first two thousand tickets in our

who thought he had all the names enrolled.
On our return home we discovered the omis
sion, and have promptly placed all the names
in the list. The candidates ordering the tick

The Fourth.—The Fourth of July was cel
ebrated throughout this section of country by
barbecues, bonfires, balloon ascensions, par
ties, balls, &c. We happened to be at West
Point, White county, on that ever memorable
day. The barbecue;some 4 miles south of that
thriving town was attended by a large number.
The Declaration of Independence was read)
and several addresses delivered, after which
the crowd repaired to a sumptuous barbecue
prepared for the occasion. At night, on the
return of the citizens to town, a balloon ascen
sion was witnessed, after which a ball was
given at the West Point Hotel, where the gay
dancers trip’d the light fantastic toe” till
the dawn of day.
Mabie’s Circus and Menagerie Coming.
This establishment will exhibit in Des Are on
Monday next, 16th inst. The Mabies are well
known as caterers for the public taste and
amusement in the “ show line.” Everybody
will go to see the animals, and while there
they can just as well as not take a peep at the
“ circus doings.” The clown, Prof. I. Hityck,
is a gem in his line, and worth a ten mile ride
and the price of admission to see him, to say
nothing of his endless supply of fun, “gotten
up expressly for the occasion.” Boys, save
your dimes, and go see the elephant. A circus
only comes round about once a year. Every
body is invited. For price of admission, etc.,
see advertisement in another column.
Huntley &. Mulholland’s Theatrical
Comfany.—This company will visit Des Arc
. on Monday next, and continue throughout the

1 theatrical pavilion, capable of seating six
hundred persons. Their performances consist
of plays, farces and dramas, with singing and
dancing. The several artists, Messrs. C. B.
•Mulholland, James Dunn, R. French, E. Bea
ver G. A. Pratt, C. Lamb, J. Wallace ; Mes
dames Milly Mills and Kitty Mills, have
played for the last two winters and summers
at Little Rock, Fort Smith, Pine Bluff, Hot
Springs, Van Buren, Fayetteville, Huntsville,
etc. We witnessed their performance at
Searcy, during the past week, and can assure
tile public that the representations were of a
character that cannot give offence to the most
fastidious mind.
Artesian Well.—Mr. J. W. Cloy of the
firm of Cloy & Erby, is on a visit to our
town in reference to the boring of an Arte
sian Well. We trust our citizens will take
hold of this enterprise and thereby secure a
never failing supply of pure water.

From the Old Line Democrat.J
The True Democrat's Texts with th
Old-Liner s Comments.
“Kf.ep it before the people. That tin
democracy of Arkansas has nominated a can
didate for Governor, which nomination ha
since been fully ratified by the Congressiona
Districts, yet tiie Old Line Democrat refuse
to support it.”
The bogus affair yelept, the State Con
vention, by fraud and forgery nominatec
R. H. Johnson for Governor. TheDem'
ocratic party had very little to do with it.
Johnson has confessed to the forgery o)
the Van Buren county convention, and at
tempts to explain away other frauds.
The convention of the Northern Distnci
at Dover, repudiated the State Convention
and its nominee, emphatically; and the
Arkadelphia Convention in the Southern
District, virtually did the same thing. The
True Democrat has, therefore, asserted a
palpable falsehood—a thing not at all
unusual for that paper.
“Keep it before the people, That after
hoisting Johnson’s name as the nominee de
facto, the Old-Line Democrat takes it
down and pleads for partial disorganization.”
Johnson is admitted to be the bogus
nominee de facto of the bogus convention,
but not dejure. the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party. There’s 8 difference,slight
ually.
The True Democrat, its owners and ab
ettors, having assisted in perpetrating a
fraud upon the people, are liable to indict
ment, politically. The True Democrat
and its supporters are therefore the disor
ganizers, and not the Old-Line.
We pulled down the name of the nomi
nee when we were satisfied that fraud,
and still worse, absolute forgery, had
been used in securing the nomination of
Richard H. Johnson, and after the two
Congressional District Conventions had
repudiated the same.
“Keep it before the people, That the
only ground upon which the disorganizers base
their hopes of success, is to tie to their tails
ciedulous Know Nothings.
The name and status of “disorganizers"
having been shifted upon the shoulders of
the True Democrat, Richard H. Johnson
and his friends. This assertion tnay be
true, accidentally—as for instance, A. J.
Hutt, Arch Rutherford, et id omne genus !
“Keep it before the people, That all
the buncombe about the family is intended
iu put uuwu uemuci iiuc nominees in uiuei iu
exalt a real oligarchy.”
The absurdity of this declaration is ab
solutely bewildering ! No one save the
immaculate Dummy could have been guil
ty of such nonsense. Poor Dummy!
whilst he is sweating and laboring here—
ten hours in Auditors Miller’s office, and
five in the True Democrat office, Dick
Johnson is repudiating him in every stump
talk throughout the Northern District.—
The “Family” has been fully identified.
“Keep it before the people, That after
a great braggadocia ovation over the bogus
county protest, five counties, either not re
presented or that voted against Col. Johnson
iu the State Convention, have since ratified
and endorsed his nomination.”
The great protest of Benton county was
signed by near a thousand names and is
certainly no forgery, Mr. Johnson. As
to the five counties sustaining the nomi
nation of R. H. Johnson, that’s proble
matical—he and his friends are attainted
with forgery—perhaps those five counties
were represented as was Saline, by just
six individuals; and even if it were so,
those counties acted under the impression
that every thing was fairly conducted in
the State Convention, which every body
knows was not the case.
“ Keep it before the people, That the Old
Line Democrat is plagiarizing editorial thun
der from the Gazette of 1850, without making
proper acknowledgments.”
That would be a gross breach of cour
tesy, if so—and if so, we here take space
to beg Capt. Danley's pardon. If we
have offended, we intend to repeat, “mar
ry. not in sack cloth and ashes, but in new
silk and old sack.” We have plenty of
thunder of our own, with which we in
tend to knock the True Democrat, owners
and all concerned, into rr.
“Keep it before the people, That Judge
Rector proposes, if elected Governor, to issue
new bonds in place of the principal and inter
est of the present debt, thus making a new
debt far more grievious than the present, and
amounting, in fact, to paying compound inter
ests on the present debt.”
There’s no if about Rector being elect
ed Governor—that's a sure thing. The
True Democrat’s assertion is not true in
r r _ 1_____ „:
puiill Ul iau. UCUUI ouuiuuo I*
lion to absorb the debt of the Stale in in
ternal improvements. Mr. Johnson pro
poses, without making any effort to tax
the people grieviously, to pay a debt that
many of his relations assisted in fixing
upon the Stale—a matter in which he is at
this time personally interested, and in
which the great mass of the people who
now inhabit the State had not any action
or interest whatever.
Significant Fact.—At the time the
nomination of Douglas and Fitzpatrick
was made, we beg our readers to remem
ber, only fourteen out of thirty-three States
were represented in the Douglas Conven
tion, and two of those fourteen by bogus
delegations, representing meager minori
ties in the States which they misrepresent
ed. These nominations, therefore, where
the delegations were genuine, represent
the nou-Democratic, Black Republican
States. All the regular Democratic Stales
retired. _ _
How the Republicans may be De
feated.—Lincoln cannot be elected Pre
sident with the loss of New York. But
allowing him this State, he could not suc
ceed with the loss of Pennsylvania, Cali
fornia and Oregon. Should he get a ma
jority in New York, Pennsylvania and
Oregon, and loose Indiana, Illinois, New
Jersey and California, he would then be
defeated. All the States here mentioned
are regarded, even by the republicans
themselves, as doubtful.
--
Douglas Repudiated in Connecti
cut.— The whole Democratic press of Con
necticut is united in condemning the ac
tion at Baltimore by which the rightful
Southern delegations were excluded to
make room for those who were without
authority to act as the representatives of
their States, and who had no constituency
10 back them up in their claims.—[Hart
ford Times.
-Gen. Houston is at Cedar Point. Texas.
The Houston Telegraph chronicles his pas
sage through that city, and describes him
graphically as dressed in a yellow rest and
turkey tail fan.
I Interesting Scene. — We clip tin
•; following from the Baltimore correspon
|dence of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
J Mr. Walker, of Alabama, Chairman ol
; the Committee on permanent Organiza
tion, appeared and reported. The first
name was that of Hon. Caleb Cushing, ol
Massachusetts, us President. This was
received with applause that reminded me
of Chicago—hats and handkerchiefs were
waved all around the great circle of tho
. galleries, and over the heads of the crowd
upon the floor. A committee was ap
pointed to wait upon Mr. Cushing. The
committee did not have to proceed far to
find that gentleman, and in a few minutes
were seen escorting him down the long
passage, fenced from the multitude with
settees leading from the door to the seats
reserved for the delegates and the plat
form. Cushing’s person ha^, during his
presidency over the deliberations of the
Convention, become very well known.
He was therefore instantly recognized by
hundreds, and liis foiniliar blue coat and
brass buttons, his Websterian garments
and Caesarian head, were hailed with ex
traordinary acclamation. He marched
through a lane of yelling Southerners—
hats whirling and handkerchiefs waving
over his head, while the occupants of the
galleries leaned forward and shouted and
clapped their hands, swung their hats,
flutter handkerchiefs, and as lie mounted
the platform, Mr. Russell, of Virginia,
took him by the haud ; the Convention
and crowd gave him three cheers, and
Mr. R. mentioned that he “ resumed” his
seat as Chairman of the National Demo
cratic Convention.
--
Life of Lincoln.—The telegraph had
barely finished the announcement of the
nomination of Old Abe Lincoln, at Chi
cago, when his life and services were
issued from the press at one dollar a copy.
Somebody who has read the pamphlet,
gives the substance of it as follows: Old
Abe is born. He suffers from teething
and a bad “ nuss.” He deserts said
•• nuss,” and with a spirit astonishing in,
an infant, leaves his home with an ax onj
his shoulder for Illinois. While yet at aj,
tender age, he becomes midshipman on a»
flatboat, and distinguished himself. He}
deserts the service, flings his commission1
to the wind, agaiu shoulders his ax, andi
I PnmtYtorw'aC hie no runr ao o It eaiLinnnloe ,T i
He casts his lot with one as celebrated a$«
himself, named Hanks. He feels the in
spiration of his talent, spits upon rail split-^
ting, tears himself from Hanks, and turn^j
lawyer. He is just budding into man-t*
hood. An extraordinary convulsion or
nature casts him into the State Legisla
ture. A still more extraordinary convul
sion lands him in Congress, where he
denounces the Mexican war, opposes the
American soldiers, and got hin mileage.
He goes home and is driven into obscurity
by an indignant constituency. He is
picked out to run at the head of the aboli
tion machine for President, and anxiously
awaits the result.
--
Forney is out iu a long diatribe
against the National Democracy, and
aginst Breckinridge and Lane. He says
it is a disunion movement, and calls on
Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, to come
to the rescue. The fellow has the impu
dence to do this, and at the same time
says he would not have supported any
other man except Douglas, even if nomi
nated. In that, as in the matter of the
printing of the post-office blanks, Forney
couldn’t have gone in “ upon a mere ex
pectation.” With Douglas at the White
House he would have a dead tiling of it.
Ah, Forney !—[Memphis Avalanche.
Return Mail Bags to the Post
office.—It happens that a considerable
number of canvass sacks and other mail
bags, from the nature of the service for
which they are used, become frequently
mislaid and fall into the possession of per
sons who use them and neglect to return
them to the Postoffice Department. By
act of 31st August, 1852, it is made a
penal offense, punishable with fiue and
imprisonment, to “steal,purloin, embezzle,
or appropriate to any other than its proper
use, or for any lucre or gain convey away
any mailbags to the hindrance or detriment
of the public service.”—[Washington Con
stitution.

NEWS ITEMS, &c.
—An Illinois drover made a nice specula
tion in New York, the other day, by selling a
drove of very old oxen, representing that they
were once owned by Abe Lincoln.
-Elephants lfve for two hundred years,
three hundred, and even four hundred years.
A healthy, full-grown elephant consumes
thirty pounds of grain per ^tay.
-In Philadelphia, thieves have assumed
the garb of census-takers, and improve the
opportunity to rob the houses they v^it.
Military.—The studies of cadets, at the
Military Academy, are again limited to four
years.
-The Louisville Courier says: “ We do
not think that there is a very brilliant future
before any man in Kentucky who will join
the Abolitionized Douglasites of the. North in
opposing Kentucky’s own favorite, the gallant
John C. Breckinridge.”
Another Wonder.—A most magnificent
cave has been discovered in El Dorado County,
California. Several large rooms were found
in it, several hundred feet in length by nearly
as many broad, and a lake, tile extent of
which is as yet unknown. The floor as well
as stalactites are all of a beautiful white
crystalized marble.
-The^ latest pictorial indignity offered
Mr. Lincoln is perpetrated by the Milwau
kee Sentinel, a paper which is avowedly one
of his warmest supporters. This journal
heads its editorial column with a diabolically
ugly picture, and calls it Abraham Lincoln.
No better plan could be adopted for defeating
that gentleman’s election. Though his private
character were proven to be that of a saint,
few would be disposed to vote for a man who
looked so like the devil.
Mr. YANC.Ey “No Sardine.”—At a public
meeting, held at Pike’s Peak, Calhoun county,
Ala., recently, the following resolution was
passed : That Col. Wrn, L. Yancey is no one
borse institution, but a whole, a perfect team,
justly entitled to our warmest thinks for his
manly, able and eloquent defence of the rights
of the South.
-The Free Protestant Episcopal Church
of St. Andrew, Jackson, Miss., has just come
into the possession of the sum of $2,000,
which was bequeathed it by the late Mr.
Geo. S. Yerger.
-Instantly another is attacked, how ek
gearly we all cry out, “ Send for the doctor!”
and yet we rarely think of calling in his ser
vices till the very last moment ourselves! —
Isn’t it pretty much the same with philosophy.
-A man who had brutally assaulted his
wife, was brought before Justice Cole, of Al
bany, lately, and had a good deal to say about
“ getting justice.” “Justice,” replied Cole,
“you can’t get it here. This court has no
power to hang you.”

Captain. Shouldn’t wonder if you tarry in the
neighborhood of Little Red river quite often.
But—all right, all right!!
Change in the Channel.—It is said that
the current of the river is sitting in quite
strong at the point two or three miles above
Helena, with every prospect of coming down
this shore. And it is said that a bar has
fprmed opposite the “Prairie.” Agreeable to
the laws which seem to govern the great Mis
sissippi, if this bar should prove permanent
for any term of years, it must have the effect
of throwing the water on the other shore
about the mouth of Old River—reacting, it
must then come down tho shore, “clean out”
the bar opposite Helena, and bring the main
channel to the very doors, as it were, of the
business houses on Front Row.—[Helena
