Stephen A. Douglas. — We have
frequently expressed our opinion as to the
positions an aspirant must occupy in order
to secure the support of the democracy ol
tim tsAiilt, —nud tli,, nnminnlinn of the
Democratic National Convention. The
attempt of Senator Douglas to palm him
self upon the democratic party—to dictate
anew code of principles, at variance with
long established usage, and in opposition
to both the letter and the spirit of the con
stitution—are facts well known to even
those who are but casual observers of the
signs upon the political horizon. Attor
ney-General Black in his reply to Judge
Douglas’ Harper essay, takes tire true
ground, which refers the question of Sla
very in a Territory to the decision of it?
inhabitants when they enter the Union as
a State—not in their unfledged condition
when first formed into a Territory. Judge
Douglas avers a Territorial Legislaturt
can exclude Slavery the very momen
after its organization ; and yet he declares
that he stands upon the Democratic Plat
form.
In the Dred Scott decision, ns nffirmec
by the Supreme Court of the United States
after clearly proving Congress had nt
power to exclude Slavery from the territo
ries, it further says, “ and if Congres;
itself cannot do this—if it is beyond tin
power of the Federal Government — i
will be admitted, we presume, that i
could not authorise a Territorial Govern
ment to exercise them. It could confe
no power on any local government estub
lished by its authority to violate the prswi
sions of the constitution.”
The papers in the South, with a few ex
ceptions, who have espoused the cause o
Douglas, have dropped him, anddenouncr
him as having “ been weighed in tin
balance and found wanting,” while nt tin
North he is fast failing. His late attempt:
to reply to Judge Black, with low abusi
and scurrility, show definitely that hi:
arguments have been met and the “Little
Giant” vanquished. The South enuno
support Douglas and remain iruo u
herself.

State-Rights Democrat. — S. S.
Calhoor, Esq.. 1ms taken charge of this
paper, published at Helena. We have
I not seen the paper containing his intro
! ductory, but judging from the manner in
1 which he handles a near neighbor, who
. has “ gone nstray nfier strange gods,” we
are inclined to the belief that lie does not
belong to the “ collar-men ” of Arkansas.
Thomas J. Kev, Esq., editor of the j
Helena JVVe IW/fc, (formerly the South
ron.) in a recent issue of that paper, says :
“ The Democratic party of Arkansas is
known by its Senators, Governors, papers, etc.,
just as it is known in Missiaaipi. These
officers are the representatives of the Demo
cratic party; any one opposing these officers
in Mississippi would not be considered Demo
crats, ami the same applies to Arkansas. Any
person or faction opposed to the Democratic
Governor and Senators will not be considered
Democrats.”
Mr. Caliioor, in handling the above
paragraph, concludes as follows:
•• We will not discuss the propriety of
Mr. Key’s assuming the character of Sir
Oracle to this people. Wc will not al
lude to his fresh arrival from lands beyond
the limits of Arkansas, nor ask by wliat
authority does a new-cotrttr presume to
dictate to old citizens, and rend out of the
Democratic party thousands of rnen whose
heads have grown gray in the climate of
Arkansas, under the old Democratic flag ?
But we must protest against the idea
being circulated abroad or announced at
home, that no man is an orthodox Arkan
sas Democrat who will not put bis lips to
Bob Johnson's boot. Our idea has always
been that Democracy was the embodiment
of great principles ; everywhere the same;
ns fixed and immovable as the everlasting i
hills; and, that any man who believed in
these principles could gain admission to a
Democratic convention. Butf Sir Oracle
says, “ any person or faction opposed to
the Democratic Governor and Senators
will not be considered Democrats,” and
will not, Uieretore, oe auoweu 10 enter u
Democratic convryition.
The editor of the Southron, or Note
Book, ought to he a little more careful in
the use of his pen.
Now, we, our humble self, profess to be
a pretty good Democrat; at any rate we
have never been nccused of any other po
litical faith. Our worst enemies, even,
have always given us credit for sound De
mocracy. But in coming to Arkansas we
neglected to bring certificates of Democ
racy from our Mississippi Governor and
Senators. We were silly enough to
think that the principles we brought with
in us would be sufficient to gain for us
admittance into the Arkansas branch of
the great Democratic church. Mr. Key
says not while he keeps door, unless wei
formally indorse Johnson, Sebastian, and
Conway. That indorsement is, with him,
the Shibboleth of Democracy.
We have no belief in such Democracy.
Advocating this doctrine, we have no be
lief in the Note-Book's Democracy, and
thinking it precisely correspondent to the
doctrine of Johnson & Co., we have
i no belief in their Democracy. No inde
pendent man would be a Democrat, if be
ing such entailed upon him the duty of
applauding men in office as the fountains
of Democratic orthodoxy on all questions,
whether those men stood by or abandoned
what he conceived to be the true Democ
racy. Shame upon such a creed, notwith
standing its distinguished originators and
its talented expounder.”
Success op the Steamship Great
Eastern—Explosion and Lossof L(fe.
—On the 7th of September the steamship
Great Eastern started on her trial trip.
Her passengers numbered sixty, composed
i principally of nautical and scientific men.
Her rate of speed exceeded the expecta
tions of her builder, being equal, when
at her utmost, to about twenty nautical
miles an hour. The English press is in
1 a delirium of excitement over the matter,
as wo see by the accounts in the New
York papers. The Great Eastern will
sail for this country some time this month.
’ She is built of iron, her sides being only
seven-eighths of an inch thick, which, as
a cannon ball would readily pierce through,
' disqualifies her from being used in war.

1 and 45 feet wide, the Great Britain 336

An explosion occured on board the
steamship Great Eastern while on her
trial trip. The feed pipe casing of one of
her funnels exploded, killing five firemen
and wounding others. The furniture and
fixtures were damaged to the amount of
five thousand pounds. The ship and ma
chinery was unharmed. The funnel was
blown into the air, tearing the grand sa
loon to pieces. The guests had left the
saloon just previous to the explosion.
During the trip the Great Eastern
moved steadily while other vessels were
rolling in a stormy sea.

Douglas at the South.—The letter
of J udge Douglas has taken aback his apol
ogists in the South. It has fallen upon
them like a 11 clap of thunder on a cloud
less day.” They had almost succeeded,
&s they thought, in convincing the people of
the South that Douglas was the only man
whoeould be elected, and by shrewdness and
sophistry had explained away some of the
many objections to his Freeport speech.
But all their work has been in vain.
Judge Douglas has forever spoiled all
their calculations, sophistries and argu
ments. He is further off now from the
Democracy than he has ever yet been His
anti-Lecomptonism was bad. his Freeport
speech was worse, but his "copy righted”
squatter sovereignty essay iu Harper’s is
worst of all. In his eagerness to conciliate
northern Abolitionists, Judge Douglas'
has cut himself completely loose from the ;
Democracy of the South. We hope nover
again to hear his name mentioned in con
nection with the Charleston nomination.
It is madness and, foilv to think of his i
getting a nomination for the Presidency i
from the Democratic party. He must
look somewhere else, and probably he will.

For the Des'Arc Citizen.]
GOV. CONWAYS SMUGGLING OF
THE TAX BILL.
Mr. Editor.—It is somewhat amusing
to notice the ships and quirks of poli
ticians when attempting to account for
their unwarrantable conduct. It will be
recollected that two years ago. Gov. Con
wat, through his organs (for everybody
has an organ now days, but the peeple,)
told the people that he did not intend that
they should be taxed to pay the debts of
the Real Estate and State Ranks.
Capl. Danley, the know nothing man,
on the contrary, said that we would have
to he taxed to pay those debts, but Gov.
Con way and Dick Johnson in whom we
all firmly believed, told us that we would
not—that the Governor knew some kind
of a process by which he could make the
debt pay itself without any tax, and show
ed us a long string of figures and talked
largely about assets and other things, that
we dwellers by the mountains did not un
derstand, but we all believed in the Gov
ernor, and we shouted “hurrah for Gov.
Conway, he is our man, he can pay debts
without money."
Now, Mr. Editor, imagine our utter as
tonishment when we read the Governor's
excuse for pocketing the Tax Rill that he
wanted the surplus to pay the Rank debts
with, for that is the piain English of it.—
So it appears that the Governor was mis
taken about his paying the Rank debts,
(now the debts of the State) without tak
ing U3, or else his excuse for pocketing
the Tax Bill to reduce the rate of taxation
is all a false pretense, and a humbug; in
fact a scheme to accumulate a large sur
rvliio »»■» ilv/i Tmncnrtr nnntrnrv tn thp
Constitution, and that surplus to be doled
out to our friends, the Stale printers. It
is, perhaps, but justice to say that Gov.
Conway really believeil that he could pay
the Bank debts at one time, for he had
been twined in this school of the John
sons, who understood that process to per
fection, and no doubt they taught the
Governor. This process was clearly ex
plained by that “disorganizer, Col. Hind
man,” who showed us the other day (when
he spoke here to a large crowd of old
fashioned homespun democrats) how the
Johnsons pay Bank debts without money,
it is this:
| 1. Borrow all the money the Bank has.
2. Keep it until the Bank breaks for want
of said money.
3. Buy up the depreciated paper for twenty
five cents on the dollar.
4. Pay it back again at the rate of dollar
for dollar—par value.
This is the famous Johnsonian recipe
for paying Bank debts, and at one time
was a great secret, by which thousands of
dollars were made in “u twinkling,” and
poor men rose suddenly to be owners of
large plantations and slaves. But the
Governor now despairs of paying the
Bank debts of the State in this way, and
comes back to the old fashioned way of
paying with money. It may do for indi
viduals to pay Bank debts in this way, but
not for a State. Governor now says that
that the mortgage due to the R. E. Bank,
fall due next year, and unless there is
money in the Treasury to buy the land in
at the sale of foreclosure of the mortgages,
the lands will not sell for a tenth of,their
value, and will thus be lost to the State,
as a means of paying the Bank debt, and
that he wants a surplus in the Treasury
for this purpose. But the Governor well
knows and so do we, that—•
1. If the money was in the Treasury he has
no right to make any such use of it,"nor any
one else ; and
2. He also knows that the State owns those
Bank mortgages, and need not sell the lands
unless they bring iheir full value or near it;
and
3. That the Legislature has power to au
thorize some one to attend to this business,
and buy in the land for the State without
the use of any money, as the State is the
innrftr'iirnn cl) n ic nnh'flo/1 f o f ha npnnnnJj
the sale and needs no money to pay for the
land, as it would only be taking it out of one
pocket and putting it in the other.
So it turns out that Gov. Conway’s ex
cuse for saddling a heavy lax on the peo
pfe of Arkansas, is a sheer pretext and the
shift of a demagogue.
We have “gone it for the Governor
and the Johnsons as long as we intend
lo.” So farewell Gov. Conway ! But
Governor before you leave, be so kind as
to» tell us lo what use you applied that
eighteen thousand dollars contingent ex
penses of “Executive department for
1857-S ” The Auditor says in his report,
that you used that amount in round num
bers, and some of the “clod hoppers” up
in the mountains here, say that you gave
ihe most of it to “cousin Dick.” So do,
dear Governor, tell us what went with the
money—don't send us to the Auditor now,
for you know as well as he.
Tiint expression, '•contingent expenses,”
is so convenient a term to cover up things,
that we don’t understand its cabalistic
meaning. We are told that contingent
expenses sometimes means Brandy and
sugar, when applied to Legislatures.—
Does it meau Champagne and Oysters
when applied to a Governor ?

-A Potter county (Pa.) paper says that
a Mr Beal, of that county, tied a log chain
round an oak tree some years ago for some tem
porary purpose, and forgetting it, let it stay
until the bark and wood grew over it,and now
it is imbedded in the trunk of the tree. It will
prove a cnyvder to the lucky individual who
cuts the tree down a hundred years hence.

Financial Condition of the United
States Goverment.—The United States
Treasury stands a good chance of again
having on hand a large surplus. A VVash
ington dispatch to the New York Tunes
says:
According to official data, the im
portations for the present fiscal year will
greatly exceed those of the year 1857.and
will reach in amount at least $390,000
000, which, at the average duty of 16 per
cent., will yield revenue of $62,400,000,
or$6,400,000 more than was estimated for
by Secretary Cobb in his last annual report
to Congress. It is an interesting fact
that while the government receipts thus
exceed the Secretary’s estimates, the
public expenditures are falling considera
bly below his figures. The result of this
double operation will be the receipt of a
sufficient revenue not only to meet the cur
rent wants of the government without any
further loan or reissue ofTreasury notes,but
the speedy accumulation of a surplus to
be again applied to the redemption of the
public debt. Never before, since the
foundation of our government, have the
recupervalive powers of the federal exche
quer been so forcibly exhibited.
The dispatch adds that the receipts for
1859-60, are estimated at $77,072,475,
and the expenditures at $63,321,415, thus
leaving a surplus of $13,751,056. After
deducting from this surplus the six millions
required to be retained in the Treasury
for Mint purposes, there still remains a
balance of $7,751,059 to be applied to the
redemption of outstanding Treasury notes,
a sum much larger than the whole amount
of notes reissuable on the 30th June last,
and it is a fact well ascertained that no
notes redeemed subsequent, to that date will
be reissued at the Treasury.
Gen. Lane s Promptness ana tourage in
the Discharge of Duty.
In a speech made last winter to the citi
zens of Washington city, who had assem
bled to congratulate Gen. Lane upon the
admission of Oregon into the Union, Mr.
Voorhies, of Indiana, related the follow
ing incident in the history of the iron
willed hero. He remarked:
“There is a history of events connect
ed with the pioneer movements of Gen.
Lane to Oregon, not generally known to
the American people. On the 11th Sep
tember, 1348, at the foot of the eastern
slope of the Rocky Mountains, with a
commission from President Polk as Gov
ernor of Oregon Territory in his pocket,
he, to whom you tender the honor of this
demonstration, gave evidence to his coun
try and to the world, of a will, and a cour
age, in the discharge of duty, surpassing
that which Napoleon displayed in his im
mortal passage of the Alps. The great
hero of Austerlitz and Marengo was told
by his guide, that the route was barely
passable, and the order came from that
bold spirit to set forward immediately.
Gen. Lane, in consultation with Colonel
Dougherty, a mountaineer of twenty years
experience, was told that the passage of the
Rocky Mountains at this season of the year
with a certainly ofspending the winter in
their midst, was a human impossibility.
•We will'set forward in the morning,’ was
the reply of the American hero and
patriot, who never knew fear in the
achievement of public duty. He and his
little baud moved in the morning, and fot
five weary and desolate month's, were losi
and buried amid the gorges and defile:
and snows of the mountains. Fancy ma}
paint, but the tongue cannot sketch ever
the faint outlines of that expedition. Ot
the 3d of March, 1849, General Lane
reached the Capital of Oregon, and before
he slept, put the Territorial Goverment it
operation and started a communication tc
the President informing him of the fact.”
-The Ne\y Orleans Picayune says tha!
along the railroad completed in Texas, land:
have peen enhanced in value one hundred pei
cent., while production has been stimulated tc
a still greater increase.

just reported by the Secretary of War, num
bers 5,706,726. This immense army with twe
weeks drill, would be quite as efficient as eithei
of the fighting forces at Solferino.
