A special from Helena, dated
yesterday, gives the saddest news the
people of tlds State could well re
ceive. General Hindman, in the midst
of his family last Sunday evening, at
10 o'clock, was assassinated by some
hellish fiend for his political opinions.
What a spectacle for this country! The
greatest and best statesman of Arkan
sas, in the prime of his life, has been
destroyed by the malignant hate of the
accursed party that now rules our
down-trodden and oppressed Suite.
With defeat staring them in the face
tlws.r liattn Vwwsmtwi <lnaru>i'<tln (mil nitr
people cannot djend loo much from
the wicked hate with which they are
filled toward them. This is but a be
ginning; we may expect more of this
kind of work. Our enemies are bent
upon our destruction, anti we cannot
bo too well prepared. It cannot be
that a just Providence will allow our
hateful enemies to rule over us forever.
Bet us hope for a change.

THE CAMPAIGN OF >68.
This campaign is now upon us, a
eentest in which the great and vexed
questions that disturb the minds of the
people will be for a while, if not for
ever, settled, and the battle for the
continuation of radical mis-rule, or
tho inauguration of a liberal Demo
cratic administration, will he fought.
No fact is more clearly established j
than that if tho Radical party is suc
cessful in this contest, the American
Union perishes and every vestige of,
republican government will ho oblit
erated. Republican Institutions and
republican rights must giro pluce to j
the whims of a Dictator while our
government passes into—God knows
what kind of a form. The time was
and is now, when by a conciliatory
magnanimous course, the radical party
might bind the government together,
lienl dissension and inaugurate a policy j
that would mako our country greatest
amongst the great of earth, that would
give to each man and brother confi
dence in the stability of our govern
ment and in tho impartial protection
and benefit of her laws. But the party
in power fail to do that which will se
cure this end, and in tlielr blindness
and prejudice continue to legislate
against one class and in favor of anoth
er ; continue to introduce measures and ;
bring to light schemes each more op-J
pressive to tho masses than those that \
have before been devised. They disre
gard the wishes of tho people, in na
tional and state affairs, thrust upon us j
without our consent men for officers
that know nothing of us and whose
only qualification is their connection j
with the party. In this way and by \
these means they are certainly rushing
the States and the wliolo Union into j
ruin. They disregard the constitution, !
over-step the bounds of republicanism |
«../l Uflll on 1 \r ii’ nnl CIIC. I
ceed iu making of this a government, j
the like of which has never been seen
on eartb, this is the aim aud tendency
of the radical party.
On the other hand the great oppos
ing Democratic party holds out to the !
people relief from these great dis- ■
tresses—“'Democracy has ever been the i
impregnable citadel of American Lib- ;
Ci ty,” aud the cord that held the coun
try together in the bonds of peace i
brotherhood aud prosperity till that f
cord was broken by the incendiary i
strokes of that party
■ Who steal the livery of heaven
To serve the Devil iu."
It is the only party now that has tire
power and the disposition to heal the
broken places of the nation, to bring
buck that time when every man will
feel and know that peace is abroad in ,
the land, and the voice of the people |
will be as the voice of God. No other j
party lias in it the material or princi- j
pie upon which to build a solid and a;
lusting government; no other party,
recognizes the rights of the people or j
guarantees to them freedom by their j
voice, it is the only party that can j
save our country from ruin. Morality,
patriotism, right, justice, truth and
liberty are Us allies; with which, oh Ij
people are you acting ? In these times j
when your interests and-the Interests
of your country are at stake, whoa the
nation trembles upon the brink of de
struction, it becomes the bounden duty !
of every man to be up and doing—<10
tng for yourselves, your children aud i
your country. The man who sits idly
down and trusts to past successes or
present revolutions, who consoles him
self with the vain hope that all will he
well without his help, plays the fools
part anil pursues the policy of a sat-!
t ide. The campaign is upon us, work, ;
ami victory may "he wrenched from the
•nerny and ourselves and our country
saved.

The barbecue that was given at this
dace on the 18th inst.. was a success
>eyond the expectations of thoso who
abored in getting it tip. Everything
tame up just right, and all tilings pa-sed
:>ff ns pleasantly as could be desired,
it is not often such a largo crowd as
sembles together witliout something
happening to mar the pleasure of the
day. Without bestowing any useless
praise upon the perfect arrangements
in regard to the dinner, we will pro
ceed to the speeches delivered by
Messrs. Iinpcy and Hindman. Mr.
Itnpey being introduced made a short
and telling speech, addressing himself
mostly to the colored portion of the
crowd, who stood in great numbers in
rear of the speakers stand. He is a
fluent and clear speaker, and »s very
effective when talking to the negro.
Gen. Hindman was next introduced,
which was hardly necessary, and pro
ceeded in a speech of some three hours
length flaying carpet-baggers and scal
awags with all the energy of liis na
ture. Ho also addressed the greater
portiou of ids speech to the colored
portion of the audience, and convinced
numbers that the Democratic parly
was the place of safety for them. He
stood np our pot scalawag and admin
istered several castigations he will not
soon forget. He gave the poor thing
such u flagellation that he became con
fused, and added greatly to his embar
rassment by his attempted answers to
questions propounded by the gallant
General. Gen. U. dwelt with length
ami eloquence upon the relations o!
the white and black man. Wo have
heard the General in other and better
days but do not think we ever heard
him deliver a more effective speech
than he delivered here on the lDlh.

Otsg-A dispatch from San Antonio,
Texas, of the 2nd inst., says: A very
destructive flood prevails. The river
commenced to rise at daylight, and lias
now attained a depth of over lj feet,
flooding a large portion of the city.
Houses and buildings of all descrip
tions are floating down the river; men.
women and children struggling through
water waist deep, anil the general
wreck, to reach terra liriuu, leaving
their untenable houses to the mercy of
the surging waters. Loss estimated
$500,000, of which the government
losses about $100,000 remainder among
merchants on the hanks of the river.—
The rain abated about 10 o’clock at
night, at which time the waters began
to fall very last.
ly^-The New Orleans Picayune of
the lilth inst., says: “The social equality
bill passed the Semite yesterday, in all
its loathsome deformity, just as it came
from the House. Some white Itadicals
left the Semite to avoid voting on it,
while most of the others hung their
heads in silent shame, wltiie the Demo
crats mercilessly called the ayes and
nays on each separate section, until all
was swallowed by their opponents.
It is, or will he, a law only in terms—
one which will make the poor colored
man's condition worse, in steeling the
minds of the white people against ever
having him enjoy again that careful
protection, generous treatment and
guarded but kind familiarity which we
recorded him under slaverv. It will
iot merely be disregarded, but defied ;
mil the colored man who undertakes,
,o avail himself of it, will timl Ids last
itate Worse than his first. Better be a
dave, kindly regarded, than a bated :
'reed man. As for the white men, their I
'onditiou is still more to be pitied, j
sven if it be their own act and by their j
>wn race that they are condemned. I
What slavery can compare with that of j
party? Yes, the social equality hill has
passed, and now we are subject to tine i
and imprisonment if they refuse fellow- j
ship witli a negro. This is the bed 1
wherein Padiealism would place us.'

The convention met pursuant to ad
journment, C. L. Sullivan president.
Committee on resolutions, through
its chairman, mado the following
report;
1st. The Democracy of the first dis
trict, standing on the national plat
form of our party, and cordially sup
porting the nominees of the New York
convention, appeal to all the people to'
dovote themselves earnestly during j
tho residue of the canvass to the great!
work of organizing promptly and ’
thoroughly in every township of every :
county for victory over the Radical
traitors and tyrants'who have rovolu- j
tionized the government and enslaved
the white race of the Southern States, j
Si. As the only means of making
the above resolution effective, wo de
clare it to be the duty of all our eiti- j
zens, who can, to take the oath, regis
ter aud vote under existing laws ; and ’
we demand, in the name of our people,
and as the best guaranty of peace anil
order, that a fair registration and a i
fair election be allowed us, without
any attempt at fraud or intimidation,
to which wo ought not and will not
submit.
3d. YY'e Action nee as vilely false,
and inteuded solely to mislead the vot
ing masses of the North, the charge t
that acts of violence are sanctioned or ]
a rebellious spirit cherished on our j
part; and most anxiously desiring
pcae# «>■ advise that the law-abiding
and law enforcing men of every neigh-!
borhood hold themselves constantly ;
ready to arrest evil doers, suppress dir-1
orders, and otherwise support the civil |
authorities in the proper discharge of
their law ful duties, as veil a- to de
fend themselves and their families
against the outrages to which radical
influence exposes them.
4th. To the large colored population
in our midst we express our sincere
wish for kindly feelings and relations
based on mutual confidence, assistance j
and fair dealings, recognizing their in- |
terest as identified with our own, and
their freedom as perpetual and urging j
them to co-operate with us politically i
and tInis seeuro peace and prosperity ]
to both laces rather than follow the I
lend of strangers who array whites and ■
blaeks against each other and constant
ly provoke civil war solely to get office
by our divisions mid to prosper out of
our losses and sufferings.

for durability, tumphesty and beauty
stands without a nv.-u. 'I ^witch, ia alik.
on both sales of tnc fab .• sawed, and wil
not rip or ravol. iho toilowing facts hav
ing been demonstrated, are g ven us reason
why the STAR MACH Ni.1 should bo prefer
red to any other:
1. Their great simplicity.
\i. It is impossible for them to get out o
adjustment during proper usage.
d. They are of groat capacity, and wil
stitch, hem, fell, braid, bind, cord and gat he
without bastiug.
4. They h&ve au adjustable press or fun
to hold the work: and they sew equally Wei
the lightest and heaviest fabrics.*
5. They will sew over the heaviest seam
without changing the tension or breakiug th
finest thread.
ti. They use a straight needle—curved one
are liable to break.
| 7. The needle has a perpendicular motion
I This is absolutely necessary for heavy work
8. They run easily, and are almost noise
!less.
THE STAR SHUTTLE is emphatically
first-class Machine in every respect, and
what is most of all, it is offered at a lowe
price than any other ^oud uuieLino in th
market. Further particulars furnished o:
