Give him the credit Of having delivered hlmseil
with good temper, and in manly and dignhed
manner. although under the excitement of one
beset with divers obstacles TO his ambition
tIe is unfortunate in The subjects. with which he
chooses 10 regale the ears OF the Peopie oi a.
kansas.


We read the whole paper with at1en''oh' ~
Ienrn the views of our talented Representative
on the important subjects, that should receive Inc
attention of a Statesman. We woud-nave taken
Measure in reading his views on the Mexican
War, n the alI-absorbing questions growing our
- tho nW;inot Proyiso.'. We were anxious to
bcoron BILE argument against the ''Proviso," and
lis twin brother cry. of "No mor6 Iefs"orY'
which is starting into being, through the press Oh
our adversaries. We would fain have heard MS
views. in relation 10 the Western District Court,
Military Posts and Roads Oh Frontier. The
extension of the National Road through Missouri
and Arkansas, 10 Texas. The redemption of over
flowed lands in our State. Post Offices, Post
Roads, and Mail Facilities in Arkansas.


Not one Of these subjects has he touched. The
whole burthen of his Siren strain, rests the 'Mil;
Ter case,' and his own personal affairs. We had
right TO expect more than this. from one, of his
high order of talents; but the genius ola 'small
spirit" guided his pen, and he dwell upon nothing
but mis- personal difficulties, interests and aspira-
tons.


One would suppose that he had fallen into the
hands of The Robbers of the Rio Grande, instead
of being in the hands of his party; and so wofui-
ly is he beset, that the sympathes of the Democ-
racy might be enlisted in bis interest, notwilh-
standing their determination TO rule. this time,
were lie not guilty of heaping them vile epi-
thets. because they agreed not with him, in his
aspira ,ions. But never will the Democracy of
Arkansas succumb to the hectoring 1ictation of a
Clique" who are profuse of their denuncia.
tions of those who, in the funess of free SPIRIT
differ with them in Il choice of men.
+ Does Mr.. Johnson think ,ha, the democrat, who
has toed in the ranks without the hope of Office
for the love of the princ Piles of his party-can
be turned aside from those principles through fear
of any ignominous epthet that he may cast out
upon them, for pursuing their rights as freemen
and democrats? Does he mis-judge the intelli-
gence ard patriotic spirit of the people. so much
as to suppose that their democracy is summed up
in the support of one selected g family?' If he
does, he will soon find himself placed in the posi-
ton Of the madman, who supposed the majority
of mankind mad, but whe was, in turn, declared
| by the majority, to be mad Aimself and was BAN
ished frol, their presence.


! Mr.. Johnson says: +" have known many dis
organizers; have battled with faith and devotion
for the unity and success of our party, against
them; but never knew one who was not shout
| ing loudly gains; clique -


This paragraph, like many other nsidious
modes adopted by the family to whip into their
services all good democrats, who may waver in
their fealty to the royal house is set up as a
Scare-crow; but our 90 tcented' Representative is
assured that the democracy of Arkansas have
lived too long in the good faith, be alarmed by
such scare-crow.


This nnuendo at our democracy, is unpro-
! voked, on our part. The existence of a clique
| of ofice-hoIders, who are banded together at
| Little Rock, and who pursue one policy, support
one set of men, and whose hearts are closed
| against those of the party who are not cIassed
| by ihem, os :. one of u.s." is as manifest to the
people of this State, as the existence of nose
on mans face Mr.. Johnson is responsible
| for awaking within US retaliatory spirit, and
must for throwing back the inference
of . disorganizer.'


Shouting loudly against a clique" he says.
! All!


What this shouting? 1 do fear the People. -
| Well may he dislike to hear this shouting - well
may he fear the people. This shouting will not
cease, until the power of ''tbe clique" is anIhila-
ted. We shout against the clique and ever
shall. until the power and influence which thoy
have usurped. be righ,fuly restored to the democ
racy--unti! that gang of insoIent office holders
is dIsbanded. Our readers will bear US testi-
mony, that zoe have baitIed with "faith and devo-
ton' against disorganizers, and we are yet to
be seen fighting along side of them, where Mr..
Johnson has been engaged, and yet, forsooth be-
cause we shout against the clique an insinua-
ton is cast upon dssorganizer. We ne
YER fought hand in hand with a Miller, or a
| Byrd, but Mr.. Johnson has. We fling
back at him the innuendo of 8. Disorganizer. -
and challange him to the proof of our disorgdn.
ising sympathies, although shout againsl the
''clique.''
