Col. Johnson a Bankite.—The True
Democrat publishes a letter from Mr. Re
ceiver Gordon N. Peay. in which he stales
that it does riot appear from the hooks in
his possession that Col. Johnson was ever
indebted to the Real Estate Bank, either
as principal or security ; or that he ever
purchased or owned any of the mortgaged
slock lands of that bank. This letter the
True Democrat proclaims to be, an an
swer TO TALSE CHARGES,
Now Mr. Peuy’s letter is evidently
framed strictly in response to interrogato
ries propounded by the editors of the True
Democrat j but those interrogatories are
so shaped as to enlicit an answer that will
mislead the public mind from the real is
sue that we have made with Col. John
sen.
Now we have never stated that Mr.
JohtitOD was ever individually indebted to
ibe Real Estate Bank, or that he individ
ually ever owned any of the mortgaged
lands of that institution. But we have sta
ted, and proved, and will reiterate, that
Col. R. H. Johnson's father had borrowed
money largely from these old hanks, and
paid it back in depreciated funds; and
that he also owned 300 shares of the stock
in the Real Estate Bank, and mortgaged
lands in this county to Secure them; and
that these lands are now in the possession
cf Airs. Johnson, the representative of Ins
estate, and still subject to foreclosure to
pay said stock; and that Dick Johnson,as
one of the five heirs of his father, is clearly
interested to the extent of one-fifth in the
said 300 shares of stock which’ with 5 per
cent, interest from the dal? of their issu
-a nee, amount tu about—800,000; and Ts“
also interested to the same ex'ent in the
equity of redemption of said mortgages.
Now, if these facta are nut true, let the
True Democrat deny and ref ute them. If
they are true they certainly convict Mr.
Johnson of being interested in the affairs
of the Real Estate Bank—and 6uch an
interest, too, as would be greatly promoted
by releasing those lands from said mort
gages, arid throwing the payment of said i
stuck up -n the State. — [Old Line Demo-!

We are requested to state that James

Supreme Court.—The Supreme Court
of Arkansas met at Little Rock on the
first Monday of this month. Chief Justice
English and Justice Fairchild are hold
ing this term. Justice Compton is absent
on account of ill health.
We publish the “ Address of
Richard H Johnson to the People of
Arkansas,” on our first page. We insert
it as an advertisement.
The Canvass ron Governor-Prairie
County.—From all portions of the State
we have the most flattering accounts of the
determination of the people to elect Rector
over Johnson, for Governor. From the
opening of the canvass, in their appoint
ments to address the people, Col. Rector
Ha» liiprnMv vAnmiishpd his onnonent.— !
The masses, who have seen and heard
them, are thus far well satisfied with the
superiority of Col. Rector over Col.
Johnson. The truth ' is, there is no com
parison betweeu the two men; Rectoh is
an agreeable and fluent debater, while
Johnson is dull and prosy.
So far as Prairie county is concerned,
the J011N8ON men seem to have’given up
the fight, until during the past two weeks.
The few supporters of his ill-gotten nomi
nation have just aronsed themselves, and
have commenced using their utmost exer
tions to restore bis fallen fortunes in this
county- Let the people beware! Let
them remember the oft-repeated wish to
rid themselves of a succession who claim
all Ihc offices, all the honors, and all the,
emoluments for themselves and friends, find
vote for Henry M._Rector—for (jnv&r
nor.
--
Rev. Evan Jones.—The Fort Smith
Times of the 5th inst. says: “We publish
in to-day* paper a communication from
the Rev. W. A. Duncan, a Cherokee, in
which he gives an extract from a letter
written by the Rev. Evan Jones, taken
from a New Hampshire paper, in which
he tells the tale on himself, and the thing
is proved beyond a doubt, that he has been
teaching abolitionism to tbe Cherokees.
The letter was not expected to reach this
latitude, but was intended for the North
The truth is now out, and Evan Jones
will have to walk the plank. Out with
him."
This fellow Jones has been charged,
for some time past, with creatiug great
dissatisfaction among the Cherokees upon
(he subject of slavery, but has persistently
denied it. Tbe letter of the Rev. A. W.
Duri''atJ is a clear exposition of the course
pursued by Jones and his satelites, and
will arouse the Cherokees to immediate
action. If necessary, they should be aided
by the people of Arkansas in ridding tbeir
nation of Jones and his crew of abolition
ists.
---
Political Forebodings.—A number
of Douglas and Johnson papers in the
South are discovering that they have “ no
showing” for their ticket, and portray un
mistakable evidence of going over to Bell
and Evebett. Well, go along gentlemen.
You will be “ bad rubbish well rid of,” and
we would be glad to see you occupy that
position without delay. The true Nation
al Democracy will then be better enabled
to meet the whole array against them in
an open fight. We covert acts of the Dou
glosites from the first day of the Charles
ton Convention down to the time they coun
tenanced and received the Douglas dele
gation from Arkansas, has been a series
of glaring inconsistencies—enough to sat
isfy the whole nation that principle was
unthought of, so that they could but sue
ceed in nominating their favorite—no mat
ter by what means—for the Presidency.
But the people are beginning to see for
themselves, and woe to the men who have
forgotten that the masses are capable of
judging for themselves. The attempt to
palm off Douglas upon the people of Ar
kansas, is the wildest political chimera that
ever entered the head and heart of de
designing politicians.

For the Des Arc Citizen.j
Mr. Editor :—Will you permit tne to
trespass a little on your patience and that
of your readers. Black & Boudmot, Edi
tors pro tern of the True Democrat say
that Johnson in pursuing Conway's policy,
-intends to make the mortgage lands pay
the State debt. This may be true so far
nnltf o a tVwv rtf f lui Pntil RnnL
is concerned. How about the debt on ac
count of the State Bank, which is about a
million and a half. Why Johnson says
Direct Taxation. He admits in all his
speeches that he cannot devise any other
plan.
Black & Boudinot say that Rector is
concocting some scheme to release the
bank lands, and that no body can be made
to understand it. This last assertion may
be true, also, as far as they are themselves
concerned. Captain Danley of the Ga
zette wanted to make out that it wont do —
because you, Captain or some of your
friends did not originate it ? Judge Rector
does not very materially differ with Mr.
Johnson on Real Estate Bank affairs —
Rector proposes to get possession of the
Bonds both on account of the Real Estate
Bank and those of the Stale Bank—lore
cltjse the mortgages ; make the lands pay
out"; but in the tneanwnile do something
else for the benefit of the State and the
people.
Judge Rector’s plan of absorbing the
State indebtedness in internal improve
ments is really a plan, notwithstanding
Messrs. Black & Boudinot, the Captain of
the Gazette and all the Johnsons to bool
cant understand it. Any tyro in the land
can cypher it out in thirty minutes.
All parties being willing; and -irlry
sliould they not be ? Thus: The Stales owes
so much. But cam pay—and why ? Tne
constitution provides “that no other or
greater amount of revenue shall at any
time be levied than required for the ne
cessary expenses of the Government, un
less by a concurrence of two thirds of both
houses of the General Assembly."
The State debt is uo part of the neces
sary expenses of the government. How
then shall the debt be paid ! Hardly by
direct taxation, except as provided for.
How then ? Two thirds of the legisln- j
lure must agree before the thing can be>
done that way; unless Mr. Johnson, if}
Governor, pursuing Conway’s policy.:
and advocating direct taxation, uses all his ,
executive power and influence to carry the
point. Meanwhile the State that has rfe]
fado been for the last dozen years virtu
ally io a cqndition.of repudiation—dejure,
in fact arid deed repudiates.
But in the Stale there nre several lines
of projected Railways. Can't be built
through for want of means. The State in
honor is bound to pay tier debts. But it
would be difficult to do so, under the con
stitution.
The Bondholders know this is so; just
ns well as any man in the State. It would
not he policy lor them to press their claims.
Suppose the Bondholders accept the pro
position to take an equal amount of stock
in Railroad projects in Arkansas under
certain circumstances; a fair.,supposjtion,
as moneyed inen are fond of, long securir
ties. Suppose the Railroad Companies
accept the proposition to grant stock to the
Bondholders for an equal amount of State
aid under certain contingencies; a thing
likely to be done, as they can never ex
pect to succeed without State aid.
The Legislature being willing. The Ex
cutive agreeing and the thing is “an ac
complished fact.”
Black & Boudinot attempt to make a
great Buggaboo of this and say that it is
equivalent to funding the State debt. Ad
mit it, for the sake of argument. What
then? Honor is honor. The thing hap
pens every day, as thus: you owe me by
note ; that note is about to lapse ; you cant
pay; I do not want to distress you; I
might drive you into bankruptcy; you re
new the note; I accommodate you and
you pay me compound interest. Would
that be wrong? say so, ye champions of
State, or individual honor !
You wont repudiate; that would be dis
honorable.
You cant pay! yet. you are not will
ing to compound; that’s 8TCI.TirCA.TION !
But Rector’s plan is to pay the State
debt and not to pay compound interest.—
The old Bonds in lands ; the credit of the
State is at once renewed ; money is worth
something in this country as all the people
know about now. If the people of the
State are to pay the debt, how much easier
twenty five years hence when there will
be twice, thrice or quadruple the number
of people tlmn now to divide the same
amount among?
The Railroad Companies pay the inter
est annually ns it accrues, and the State
pays the bonds at the end, or the Stale for
further aid might very well consent to pay
me interest aim me ixituroaus pay me
principal, to be secured of course in effec
tual manner.
Johnson's plan is to keep up the note of
taxation, hand the money in the treasury
and after a time pay off these rascally
debts by means of which his family has
been enriched.
But there is now n surplus revenue in
the treasury. •• What will he do with it.”
Rector says, let’s use it to promote edu
cation among the people. A violation of
the Constitution, says the Captain. But
the money belongs to the people and I ask
them in what more, useful manner it can
be returned to them than in the encourage
ment of common schools throughout the
Slate ? I expect that Black &. Boudinot
will pilch into me for attempting to insult
the people by intimating that they would
be benefited by the establishment of nu
merous public schools throughout the State;
but “laisez aller"—pilch in ye Black*
and Indians for 1 am an old hand having
vegetated as Charley Mitchell boast* for
A Quarter of Century in Arkansas.
BALTIMORlTcOilVENTION.

Carroll, Josiah Gould, Jilson P. Johnson,
John A. Jordan, F. VV. Hoadley, Van
FI. Manning, John I. Stirman and T. C.
Hindman. A temporary organization
was effected by calling Judge Gould to
the chair.
An agreement, in tho form of a letter
to Hon. Caleb Cushing, President, Na

signed by all the above named delegates,
was submitted to Dr. Stirman for his con
sideration. Said agreement bound those

standing that he was not thereby required
to withdraw from the convention, except
at his own option, Dr. Stirtnan affixed his

The delegation then permanently or
ganized by electing Jilson P. Johnson and
DeRosey Carroll chairmen, to preside
over their meetings, and to cast the vote of
the Stale in the convention, if admitted to
seats. T. C. Hindman was elected Sec

Mr. Hindman adverted to the fact that |
J. P. Johnson was a candidate for Repre-}
sentative from Desha county, and was
strongly urged by friends there to return,
home aud take part in the canvass; and
offered a resolution urgiug Mr. Johnson
to remain at Baltimore, to aid in maintain
ing Democratic principles and the rights
of the South, said resolution was unani-.
mously adopted.
Mr. Hindman submitted the original of j
a letter addressed to Hon. Caleb Cushing,
showing tne right of the Regular D*le
gates to seals, and the absu dity of t >e
claim made hy the Bogus Delegates, ap
pointed by the Madison Mass-meeting. It
was ordered that the letier be printed as
from Mr. Hindman, and that each dele
gate approving it sign his name thereto.
All the delegates present then signed their
names to th- letter, except Maj. Flournoy,
who avowed his intention to be neutral in
the contest. The name of R. W. John
son—who had been suddenly called to
Washington City by official business—
was signed, by authority by Dr. Jordan.
• Judge Gould moved that Maj. Flour
noy be permitted to cast j vote,,he claim
ing that right, and that the other 34 votes
of the State be cast as a unit, according
to previous agreement. Said motion was
adopted, ayes and noes as follows:

Judge Gould offered these resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That if the Baltimore Con
vention admits any of the Bogus Delega
tion from Arkansas, appointed by the so
called Mass-meeting at Madison, or re
fuses to admit any of the Regular Dele
gates, then we will refuse to take seats
therein. .
Resolved, That if we should be admit
ted to seats in the convention, and tase
seats therein, and afterwards the two
thirds rule should be rescinded or suspend
ed, then we will at once retire from said
convention.
On motion of Judge Gould it wasagreed
that Mr. Hindman should prepare all pa
pers necessary to be offered in the conven
tion on behalf of the Regular Delegates;
such papers to be presented by the chair
men. Adjourned.

1TXI* iiiUUIliaiJ V/MC-IVU uiw iwiiuniug
oluiion:
Resolved, That we prefer to act with
Southern men for the South, rather, than
with Northern men against the South;
therefore we will make common cause with
the majority of Regular Delegates from
the Southern States, opposing with them
the admission of Bogus Delegates, and
advocating the doctrines of the Charleston
resolutions known as. the “Majority Plat*
form,” the doctrine of protection to slave
property in the Territories included ; and
we will vote against all candidates who re
fuse distinctly to sustain these positions:
Provided, nothing contained in this reso
lution shall bind any delegate to withdraw
from the convention, unless he individual
ly thinks it his duty to do so.
Maj. Flournoy dissented from the reso
lution, declaring himself in favor of Doug
las and “popular sovereignty,” and op
posed to Congressional protection to slave
property in the Territories. He said,
however; that he would vote for Breckin
ridge as long as he thought it expedient,
and then for Douglas. Maj. Flournoy
thereupon withdrew from the meeting, re
questing that his vote be recorded against
the resolution.
The vote was then l%ken on Mr. Hind
man’s resolution by ayes and noes, as fol
lows:
Ayes—Carroll, J. P. Johnson, Gould, Jor
dan, Manning, Hoadly, Hindman—7.
Noe—T. B. Flourney—1.
Absent—Robert W. Johnson and John I.
Stir,nan.
Dr. Jordan and J. P. Johnson express
ed their confident belief that R. W. John
son would cordially sustain the resolution,
if present. ,
On motion, R. W. Johnson and Hind
man were appointed a committee, to con
fer with the committees of other Southern
Delegations. Adjourned.
Friday, June 22, 1860. )
9 o’clock, A. M. \
Met—present, Carroll, Stirman, Gould,
R. VV. Johnson, J. P. Johnson, Hoadley,
Manning, Jordan. Hindman.
Mr. Hindman reported that the confer
ence of committees of Southern Delega
tions had recommended, unanimously, that
all the Regular Delegates, from all the
States, make common cause with each
other, and remain out of the convention if
any Regular Delegate is excluded or any
Bogus Delegate admitted. Mr. Hindman
expressed his full approval of thia policy.
He declared, further, his belief that the
Douglas faction were determined either
to rule or ruin the party,—to nominate
their favorite or break up the convention.
They would show this determination by
excluding Regular Delegates and admit
ting Bogus Delegates, so as to add to the
Douglas vote. Then they would repudi
ate the just doctrine of protection to slave
property in the Territories, and virtually
adopt the squatter sovereign heresy of their
leader. In either of these events, the con
vention would not be worth preserving,
and he, for one. would not remain in it or
vote for its nominees.
R. W. Johnson explained fully the
causes that justified the recommendation
of the conference, and" declared his appro
val of the course recommended. He dwelt
eloquently upon the wrong done in the
South by the Douglas faction, and urged
the most determined resistance.
In that cause, both here and at home,
he was ready to battle side by side with
his bitterest enemy, and against his bosom
friend:-- ~
In that declaration. Mr. Hindman con
curred.
Mr. Carroll, Dr Jordan. J P. Johnson,
Mr. Hosdley and Mr. Manning avowed
the same sentiments proclaimed by R. W.
Johnson and Hindman.
Judge Gould declared he would make
common cause with the South, but would
not assume any extreme position until the
wrong was actually inflicted.
Dr. Stirman said he would take time to
deliberate, and would act according to his
best discretion,
Hon. T. F. Sorrells, one of the Demo

Jordan, Hindman. _ .
Mr. Hindman reported that the South
ern conference of to-night had unanimous
ly recommended that the Regular Dele
gate8, who had withdrawn or refused to
take seals in the convention, assemble in
National Democratic convention, at a dif-i
ferent place, on to-morrow ; and there pro
ceed to adopt a sound platform and nomi
nate a sound ticket.
This recommendation was unanimously
approved by the delegation: also by Hon.
T. F. Sorrells, nominee for State Elector.
On motion of Judge Gould, R. W.
Johnson and T. C. Hindman were ap
pointed, to address a letter to the Arkan
sas Democratic Central Committee, urg
ing them to ascertain immediately jf all
the nominees for Electors weuld support
the platform and nominees of the conven
tion composed of delegates refusing to
take seats or remain in the Douglas con
vention; and if any nominee for Elector
refuses or hesitates to take that position,
then his nomination should be disregarded
and set aside, and a new convention called
to nominate a true man in his stead.
The same persons were also appointed
to issue a joint address to the Democracy
of Arkansas, explanatory of the course of
this delegation and of the existing condi
tion of Federal politics.
On motion, the chairmen were unani
mously instructed to cast the vote of the
State for Breckinridge for President and
Lane for Vice President.
Judge Gould moved that the proceed
ings of the various delegation meetings be
sent by the Secretary to the Old-Line
Democrat and True Democrat newspapers
of Little Rock ; and that both said news
papers, and the other public journals
throughout the State, be requested to pub
lish the same ; which motion was adopted.
On further motion, adjonrned sine die.

Washington, under date of the 2d inst.,
says:
The self-ruling stamp envelopes, which
were placed on sale during the last of the
year, by way of experiment, have been
permanently adopted by the Postoffice De
partment. They will hereafter be sup
plied to Postmasters, and will be sold at
the following rates : For a single package,
the same price as the old. Where more
than 100 is taken, an advance of 2 cents
per 100 envelopes on the rates of the old.
The second edition will be a decided
improvement upon the first, and will be
the most substantial as well as the most
beautiful envelopes in the market.
Mobe Facts.—A Douglas paper es
tablished at Aberdeen, Miss., says:
We almost know that Mr. Douglas will
receive the Democratic vote of the North
ern States, and will certainly receive a
large'vote in the South, (f not a majority ;
but if we see that we are mistaken in our
opinion during the canvass, and that Bell
and Everett will receive the full vote of
the old Whig party, then we shall give
them our support, and urge the friends of
Douglas to follow suit.
-Every Democratic State in the Union
is for Breckinridge—every one. The Black
Republican States alone are for Douglai and
Johnson. It was so in the Conventions, and it
will be so in November, with this difference—
the Douglas States will all vote then for Lin
coln and Hamlin.—[Louisville Courier.
