THE SIXTH VOLUME OF THI
DE3 ARC CITIZEN.
We to-ddy present (lie first number o
the sixth volume of the Citjze.t. We dr
not complain that our labors increase with
our years. Why should it not be so?—
Those who attempt to lire for themselves
alone, regardless of the happiness 01
Welfare of the great mass amongst whom
their lot may be cast m life, have but a
poor appreciation of that which constitutes
the true friend, neighbor or citizen Ev
«ry man has a separate part to perform ir
the great drama of life—if that part be
well performed lie will have the conscious
ness within bis own brenst of having com
pleted his allotted task, and receive the
mede of praise from all good men, and
the smiles and approbation of h« Maker.
If. on the contrary, he fails in his duty tc
himaelf and his fellow-man, lie knows full
well that justice demands that the mede
of praise will be withheld both by bis
wuuiiy Him ms uou.
We have endeavored during the five
years’existence of the Citizen, to do even
nnd exact justice to a!! men. With a re
apectable number of our fellow-citizens it
has been our lot to disagree iu matters per
taining to our town, and especially the
location of certain projected schemes of
Internal Improvement. We have, thus
far, seen no good reason to regret the po
sitions we have taken, and shall continue
to pursue “ the even tenor of our way,"
regardless of dictation, menace, or the
ravings nnd abuse of the low and vicious.
Nevertheless, we will at till times be found
ready to receive any suggestions which
tnay tend to further ihe interests of the
country at large, the Slate, the county, or
our own particular towa.
We shall continue fearlessly to support
those measures, politically, which we
deem .beneficial to the country, and ask in
raiurn that consideration and support which
our efforts may merit.
As stated last week, we are anxious to
enlarge our paper. To enable us to do
so, we will require every dollar that our
patrons owe us. Will our friends exert
themselves in our behalf—pay what they
owe us, and encourge others to aid us
with their patronage
JSST “Ion,” the Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Sun, in a recent
letter, states that the time of holding
the National Democratic Convention at
Charleston will be fixed for the 16ih of
April. The Republican convention will,
perhaps, as heretofore, be fixed for June,
and the National Old Line Whig conven
tion. if one should be held, will be sum
moned early in July.
The Harper's Fehrt Insurrection.
Col John Brown, Commander-in-chief of
the insurrection at Harper s Ferry, has
been tried end sentenced to be hung on
the 21 of December. Capt. John E.
Cook, for whom a reward of SI000 was
offered, has been arrested. He waived a
prelinary examination nnd has been com
mitted for trial. Indubitable evidence lias
be«u secured that Fred. Douglas, (a free
ne(ro.) Gerritt Smitn. of New York
Jodiut R. Giddings of Ohio, und the
wlnle train of leading abolitionists through*
out he country, participated iu the organ
iied scheme against the slaveholding
Statei, of which the Harper's Ferry in
surrection was one of the appointed re
sults. Fred. Dougins, it is said, has es
, caped to Canada, where vve trust that he
will he followed by the authorities and
bsough, back. An example should be

nefarious proceeding. 'Judging from the
promptueas with which the law has been

“The Galled Jape Wisces”—Thi
Brownsriilt Echo take* to heart our com
rnent upon a paragraph publish* d in lha
paper abusive of the democratic party. I
disclaims ncutmlity and assumes for itsel
the character of an iniifitenJr.nl journal
■ We care not what title the Echo assume
for itself—it may chatter and fume, mis
represent and slander us, and keep up it
course of selecting articles and publishing
them abusive of the democratic patty am
the great mass of the people—call itsel
independent. neutral, or any other nam*
whereby to cover its hatred of democratii
principles ; and yet the truth of all wi
have said is manifest in its own columns
It quotes the billingsgate of well-knowr
opponents to democracy, men who “ prut
to be struck with paralysis, blindness
dumbness, deafness, lunacy, the leprosy
or anything, in preference to democracy,'
and yet we must not complain that at
• officer who was elected by the vote of tin
democracy of the county aids in the sup
port of that concern with the patronage al
his command. True, a public officer ha:
the rignilo bestow his patronage where t<
him seems best. But the great mass o
the people have a right, nail they will ex
erase that right, in holding him responsi
ble for h s conduct in that particular. Tn*
democracy of Prairie county have permit
ted the control of most of the publu
offices to fail into the hands of those whe
are opposed to, and use their infiuenc*
against them, and it is full time that the)
should arouse from their lethargy, anc
tntfe uuf mutter into tnetr own mums.
The charge made against us by tht
Echo tbat we forsook the demc^ratic part)
and warred against it “ under the bunnei
of Know-Nothingism,” is upon a pur with
its usual course in reference to us. We
never voted other than a democratic
ticket—we never published a line against
or in any manner used our influence in
opposition to the democratic party. Like
many others, we took one degree in Know
Nolhingism, were satisfied that the Order
was iu opposition to democratic principles
and never had any other affinity with it.
We are told in the good book that men
do not gather grapes of thorns or figs
of thistles, and it is true in a political as
in a religious point of view. Those who
are against the democratic party are not for
it—and those papers tlmt publish articles
abusing its principles by “ cant phrases
apd uncouth comparisons,” have uo right
to claim the privilege of so doing on ac
count of their being neutral or even inde
I pendent Let the Echo take to ,itself the
j advice it gives to us, and it will see
enough in its own columns to satisfy itself
that it is preaching one thing und practis
ing another.

Hon T C Hindman's Prospects in
Washington. Benton and Madison
Counties, by a capable and impartial
judge
Editor or the Old-Line Demo
crat—Sir:—1 have been in each ol
the above named counties, about, and
since the time of Col. Hindman's visit
there, and have heard inauv persons ex
press their sentiments relative to Ins
ability and future success, and so far as 1
am aide to judge, if an election should
come on any time soon, the vote would be
four for Col Hindman, to one for anv
other person whose name has been men
tioned as a probable candidate agaitw
, him. As n political speaker, he is held
| to he superior to any person known in the
! north-west of Aikansns, for years. I
i have not had the pleasure of hearing Col.
: Hindman speak, but 1 am sure that he
' possesses one qualification superior to
| most public speakers; that of presenting
I his points so clearly, llfat people can east
j ly comprehend and retain them. I have
heard quite a number of persons relate
j points in his speeches, with surprising
J agreement. The general voice ol llie
people is, that Col. Hindman is a persecu
| led man, and for no other casue save that
j lie is likely to he iu the way of some who
| would, if lliey could, be in high places—
those who arrogantly claim to be the De
mocracy, and consequently, brand all ns
disorganizes who oppose them. Tiieir
version of Democracy—taking their words
and actions us the rule of interpretation—
is, that whatever they say or do. us_ poli
ticians. is, and must be right) whatever
; Col. Hindman says or does, as a politician
is and must be icroug.
The people say ' give us Hindman, he
is the man that can successfully present
our claims, and do honor to our State."

ii Death or ex-Goy. J. C. Jones —
• This distinguished gentleman died at
i his residence, near Memphis, at 4 o’clock
i ort the afternoon of the 29!h ult. Toe sad
t eventrilis said, was no: unexpected, ns
! his friends had watched at his bedside fot
i! several weeks, convinced thnt the final
dissolution was not far distant. The re
i irmins of the deceased were consigned tc
•;the tomb on Sunday the 30th. The
J Mi •mphia papers state that the procession
was one of the largest ever seen on a
■ similar occasion. The religious service?
: were conducted by the Right Rev. J. H.
■ Otey, of the Episcopal Church, whn
preached from the text. “ For all flesh is
i as g'ass, and all the glory of man as the
flower of grass." We clip from the .Main
, phis .1ppf.it! of the 1st tnst., the following
sketch of the life of the deceased:
James Chambeklayne Jones wa
! born the 7th of June, 1809, in Wilson
county, Tennessee, in the vniuity of the
Hermitage, and at the tune ol Ins death
was in the filst year of his age. His
father died in Ins lulancy, and the charge
i of the future Governor and Senator was
, committed to Col. Ward, who will lie re
, tnembered as the opponent of Col. Can
non fur gubernatorial honors in Tennessee.
Under the guardianship of Col. Ward,
James C. Jones was sent to school for the
term of three years, during which time
he completed all the scholastic education
he ever received. He was married in the
twentieth year of his age. In his thirtieth
year, in 1839, he was chosen a member
of the legislature of Tenneessee, and the
following year he was constituted one of
the Harrison electors. In 1811 h*- was a
successful candidate against James K.
Polk for the governorship, and was re
elected to that office in 1813. He made
the canvass of the State for Clay in 1844,
ana contributed his great talent and influ
ence in like nmnn’er toward the election
of Gen. Taylor in 1848 Soon after the
occurrence of the memorable events al
luded to above, he came to Memphis.—
For a brief period he renounced politics,
and labored in the cause of public and
private improvements. His earliest soli
citude in that direction was to insure a
railroad connection between Nashville
and Chattanooga, and his efforts toward
the accomplishment of that enterprise are
well remembered. Soon after Ins arrival
in Memphis he became earnest and de
termined in his advocacy of a system of
plankroads, and to him more than to any
other friend of the work may be attributed
the success of that stupendous improve
ment, the Memphis and Charleston Rail
road. It is a pleasing duty in this con
nection to record a'wish expressed by the
deceased in his fatal illness, that he
might be permitted to live long enough to
realize a consummation of the proposition
to connect Memphis and St. Louis hy rail
In 1851 Gov. Jones was elected United
States Senator by the Legislature of Ten
nessee, which position he filled for a term
of six years. His social and political ca
reer since he retired front the Senate, are
familiar to the local reader. The closing
period of his lift* was devoted to labors of
love, and in the exercise of his kindly
offices, the prosperity of Memphis and
his native State seemed to be the leading
incentive to action.
The distinguished subject of this notice
was confined to his room for a period of
five weeks preceding his death. His
friends trace the origin of his fatal illness
to an attack of cholera from which he
suffered in 1S49. in this city, and from
the influence of which disease it is thought
he never fully recovered. He died calmly
and without a struggle, in the midst of
his family, having only to regret the ab
sence of his eldest son, who is at Centre
College, at Danville, Kentucky.
Ex-Governor Jones was ol the people
They loved him for Ins honesty of pur
pose, and for the wondrous power of his
will ; they admired his great ability and
his burning eloquence and will cherish
! the nt* mory of his greatness and his good
; ness. As the warm personal friend of
! Andrew Jackson, it is graulytpg to those
I of us who remember each with emotions
1 .. 1.1.1..L. 1.1. . . . . .. _ II
SV, .wv... - •
i the healed political contests in which
I those distinguished spirits mingled with
! rival interests, the deceased sustained the
most cordial relations of intimacy with
; the departed sage of the Hermitage. In
j the death of Gov. Jones tve trace the
' hand of public calamity, for in his demise
I the country has lost a patriot and a states
’ man. the wise and the good a worthy
; companion.
KHi5“ Let the people beware of the
Douglas doctrine of squatter sovereignty.
It is the most recent offspring of aboli
tionism, and, like us progenitor, it hesi
tates not to assail the highest judicial tri
bunals in the land, equivocate with the
I constitution, assail the rights of property,
and destroy good neighborhood between
roan and man. It would place, in the
hands of the few the power to expel from
1 the Territories of the Union the men of
| the South. It had its origin in a violent
crusade against the rights and properly of
the Southern people. It can only pro
: gress hy the dethronement of the law,
i the destruction of the constitution and
j the overthrow of everything like order.—
It is a ruinous, dangerous, shocking doc
trine, abhorred no less for its incendiary
j tendencies than for its disposition to pro
! voke riot and insurrection in a community
yet unformed and without the power of
| resistance.
"Old Brown’s" rebellion is chargeable,
in part, to the unchecked aggressions of
! ‘'squatter sovereignty,-’ and it is time that
the honorable men of all parties were
• j taking suitable steps to trample under
their feet this unconstitutional theory,
along with its traitorous advocates. It is
• repugnant to the sense of every patriot,
! every lover of order, every philanthropist.

licentiousness prevail, and lives only m
