The Demc cratic candidate, Hon. Robert W. Johnson, stron and popular with the people ia gaining new friend whever he goes. The people like the genersu bearing of the man, and they like his principle and although it is a special election they mean turn out in masses and vote for him. They ar not to be gulled by such barefaced and miserabl falsehoods as that he ia a disunionist or secession ist.

The Whigs bane the charge to he false fthr they make it. The idea is absurd and Whig inven tioa should have produced something more plau sible than if Mr. Johnson had not dignantly denied it over hia own signature. In hi letter recently published, he says, "I have been 1 maintain, the truest and best fnend of this Un tart, and am yet; for I have soaght to preserve i as we received it, from our fathers, and if elected shall continue the struggle so far as my humbl voice can manifest my will. lint the compromis measures are now the law of the land.

I do nn propose disunion as the remedy. I do not propos secession. 1 know the divisions among us through out the whole South and the folly of snch propo sitions. But I am called upon to endorse and ap prove thooe measures. In my bean I can not it, and will not.

What do I want, is asked want the South to expect continued aggression and expecing it I want her to unite and prepar herself in a spirit of Union among ourselves to re pel and forever to arrest it; that the constitute and our rights guarantied by it may he preserved Who ia there among ua that will advocate not on I submission to the wrongs already done us, bu that is prepared submissively to see the Constitu tion set aside and to be treated by a Congress northern majorities, as the British Governmen treated her Weft India subjects? Now if thos who have been true to the South are to be destroy ed for defending the rights of their constituent heretofore involved and lost, those who may at tempt it hereafter have little to expect and shoul should be destroyed 1 litre 4UC U1BUBIUU1SUI in aimuu. false issue. No body is in favor of dtssolvin the body is in favor of secession, that the Whigs will not make much capitol their late invention. The issue is between De moeracy, on one hand and Whiggery on the othei Robeit W. Johnson is the Democratic and Job Preston, the Whig candidate, and the Whi papers call on their party to rally as one man the latter, and we invoke the Democracy as a par ty to rally around Mr.

Johnson. The party lines are drawn and the imporlane of the election may be appreciated when it i known that if the nest presidential election sboul go into the House of Representatives which is no means unprobable, the Representative eiecte will cast the vote of this State, and that rot will count as much as the vote of New York Pennsylvania or Ohio. Shall a ithig then cast the totr What has Arkansas done that she ahoul be punished with the calamity of haring a whi Representative in Congreas Why should Arkan sas at this late day in her history renounce ths noble old democratic faith to which ahe adhere from the fust, and turn the State over to the tende mercies of the whig party as unprinciplei as any that exists on earth. Is not Mr. Johnson true democrat, and has he not made an able an faithful Representative of his State? What rea con cau be urged why he should not be agim tri umptiantly elected, as he lias been twice before There is too much apathy our party scspectin elections.

We call on the democracy to turn on at thia election and sustain their candidate, be cause in doiug that they sustain their cherish? principles It is only.a part of a from upoa labors and in a good cause. Doiac suppose because we are of the majority that a exertion need be made. In that consuls the dad get, Par minorities axe always more active lha majorities. Let every democrat then exert himseli remembering that eternal vigilance is the pric of liberty." Let "every democrat feel a pride an pleasure as well as regard it hu duty to be activ and vigilant. Let the nominee of our convenlio! receive in August next auck an overwhelming ma jority as will be a rebuke on whiggery and it false hoods and tricks and deceptions in nil time come.

The democrats hare the power sad can do To your tenta, ah! Mortality in St. Louis. For the week ending June the In telligencer reports 206 interments at nine of thir teen 155, females 13.

JJT Lines of electric telegraph are new openei from Munich to Pans OltM u4 DUiiira.

The present indieaUoni are that the wbigs have determined to fight no political battles under thrr ancient mm, tf they een decently cart it off. The name of Whig waa eece respectable as connected with thrilling events in our biatory, but in such odium base the doctrines of that party been hold, that the appropriation of that name consigned it to ooutompt and disgrace. The whip are now endeavoring to amaroc the naom of Union iart! Every tree friend of tbu Union mindful of the ireatneaa and glory we owe to it as a people should deeply deplore that new movement in whig legerdemain, because also, bring that name into like contempt and disgrace must he the inevitable result of the completeness of the appropriation. It ia however cousoliag to reflect that thia eleventh hour tnck will prove a failure, and that it will be regarded in its proper light; that is, as ae attempt to hide decayed and odious principles, sad a bad and tottering cause. The whigs are driven to the wall, and this i ew I trick is rendered necessary by a consciousness on their part that to ask for power as would be fruitless; tbst to encounter the stern and fled democracy as would be attended with II certain defeat, and would only be reproducing for themselves the mortifications of the mortifications to which they have been subjected whenever they felt disposed to try their strength The udm federal enemies of demor same men with the same principles purposes now come forward not as but in another name, one that will startle nobody; come forward with the hope of seducing unsuspecting democrats from their allegiance and time-honored faith.

The object is to destroy the democratic and build up the whig object is to produce divisions in our ranks and then obtain an easy victory over us. The stratagem is too shallow to i do damage; the object too manifest to deceive any one, and we call on all democrats to be on their guard. This is no new thing. It has been a part of the federal whig party from the begming and has been developed year after year. Let us retrospect the past and remember that Oen.

Taylor claimed to I be and ran as a no-party candidate for the presidency, and thereby tecured tbe votes of enough weak and foolish democrats to elevate him to a station for which every one the rest of mankind" acknowledged him to be utterly unfitted, or to use the language of Mr. Webster, it was a nomination not fit to be made." Was the administration of Oen. Taylor of a no-party character? On the contrary it was the most vindictive and proscriptive in the history of this More removals from office were made under it, and in violation of positive pledges than under all the previous administrations put together. In fact no democrats were left in, nor were any appointed to office. To be a whig was sufficient to obtain re1 more violent, the better; but to be a democrat in the eye of that administration a crime deserving proscription.

The democrats who voted for Oen. Taylor, soon saw how miserably they 1 had been duped and repented in sack-cloth and ashes, and doubtless wisely determined to place no reliance in whig professions, and now let them and let all guard against this new attempt at ception, for whoever confides in whig professions or promises will be deceived. I The Whigs'the Union party, indeed! Why the pretension is not merely laughable but it isirapu- dent in tbe extreme. The political history of our country will demonstrate that it is the whig party that has brought the Union into this confederacy to the yawning abyss. The democrats on retiring from power left the government to them, perceful, hsppy, prosperous extending in territorial limits from ocean to ocean country rich in agricultural, mineral and com1 mercial advancing in popula: tion and improvement and the Union strong and promising duration.

1 Look at the picture now. In less than three years so wretched has been the policy of the par1 ty in so weak and imbecile its measures when vigor and resolution were required; so vio1 lent and illegal, when moderation was demanded, and so ill adapted are its doctrines to the utation of a republic, that the Union has been sha' ken to its centre, public confidence unpaired and the growth and advancement of the country I ed. Is it possible then that the whig whose 1, policy would eventually destroy this Union should be entrusted with its preservation Is a quack 1 who has prostrated a hale and vigorous patient by futile nostrums to be entrusted with the delicate duty of his restoration? Would you place the wolf to guard the dock! If these things are contrary to human experience on what principle is it that tbe wings can claim to be competent topref serve a Union they have nearly destroyed, and what solitary reason exists why they should be entrusted with that sacred duty. A thousand sons exist against it, none for it. Moreover the question must be asked and answered, if in Las I than three short years they coaid introduce so I much fatal mischief into our happy country and push the most glorious inheritance of modern times 1 to the brink of ruin, how many years short of two Presidential terms would be required for them to 1 destroy it altogetlier, rendering a dissolution of the Union inevitable.

Their doctrines lead to 1 practice and policy lead to it, and it is time to un1 derstand the matter and speak plainly. They are fighting for the spoils of office; for the power and patronage of Government, and are ready to uuite with any party or faction which I will enable them to effect that purpose. Where I the abolitionists hold the balance of power they affiliate with them. They court freesoilers and have thus given importance to a treasonable II and dangerous faction that has resolved ou the 1 extirpation of slavery at the sacrifice of the con1 stitutiou and the Union if otherwise unattainable. The abolition influence baa very generally iden1 tified itself with and formed an indispensable ment of Whig success.

It was to this influence that Gen. Harrison was indebted for his lion at Harrisburg in 1840, and the same treason able faction generally supported Gen. Taylor in 1 18-18. And although policy may induce him to suppress his opinions yet it is notorious that aident Fillmore is an abolitionist, who could not And power enough in the constitution to asaert the supremacy of the fugitive slave law against a free negro and abolition mob in Boston, and could find abundance of power-to crush a neighboring Slate if necessary whose only crime was maintaining her sovereignty orer her own soil. Were the federal offiers at Boston who failed to discharge their duty and thus in effect leaving the fugitive law a dead letter on the statute book remov, ed from office by President Filmore Not at all.

They were rewanted foe their criminal emission of duty, and their sympathy with the abolitionists, by being left in lucrative offices, and having in all probability the private approbation of the accidental President who is and has been for years past, court i ing the abolition or free soil psrty in a secret man1 aer. 1 In Ohio the Whip elected Wade a rank abolitionist to tbs Senate in New York, Fish an ly rank abolitionist and a fit colleague of Seward whose political friend he is; in Pennsylvania Gov. Johnston, whs defeated the Democratic of allowing jails to be and la raplahaf fagitire slaves by pocketing the bill, ia a ftw aaiki aad the Whig eaadidate for re-election, with that Conduct fully approved by ia fall mventioa i in XaaaMbaaetta Sumner eoald not bass been elected to the Senate, no Baetoel to the House, without the aid and support of Tbeee, out of aumberlen iastaaeee, prove that the free soil and Whig party base amalgamated and that the Democrats are now they ever have been the truest and stannebent Mends of the Union. In fact in Ion that four yean the abolitionists and whiga will be perfectly united, with capacity and inclination for mischief co-estensive with their influence, which for the eehe of tbs Union it is to be hoped may be limited and insignificant. Let the people ponder on these things.

There are honorable Individual exceptions among the who would scorn aid from the abolitionist; but what we affirm and that too without fear of successful contradiction ip that the abolitionists are generally Whigs, that there ia a sympathy between them that they act together and have so acted for the last fifteen yearn, and that the amalgamation is daily becoming more And that if the people desire peace, security and the perpetuation of this Government; if the) would have true, ancient and faithful friends tc guard the Union; a conservative influence tc preside over it, they must look to the Deinocree) and to the Democracy alone, far these desirable results. It ia utterly impossible to attain then through the instrumentality of a Whig admims tion, from which indeed the country can date iti disasters. There really is no such issue ss Union and Disunion. The issue is between Whiggery in all iti deformity, and democracy in all its attractiveness Let the Democrats remember that the only effectual mode of perpetuating the Union aa our forefathers found it, is to maintain Democratic principles snd indignsntly reject Whig doctrines. Elec' no Whigs to political offices state or federal a nr with the utmost possible haste hurl them fion power and shut the gates against them.

These i things will tend to the preservation of the Union, ffnd we have the high and sacred duty to perfo-m. Let us perform it like men. In all electiana whether general or special, let us rally around mu ancient standard in all our strength, and teach the Whigs at the ballot box the great truth that vent and ever have been the firmest and truest fnendi of this Union, while the Whigs have been its wonl enemies. Let every Democrat exercise the great right suffrage on all every election and sustain Democratic on cause for it is a good and glorioua one and deserve it at our hands. By pursuing this policy a short time the Whigs will become almost extinct, and hardly have lik enough to ask for not enougi to be felt as a separate power io the They would then be left with the malicious disposition to do mischief, without the power to exeicise it.

Let no Democrat say that we have ths majority in Arkansas, and it is therefore not ne oessary for me to vote or exert If aj should say the same thing defeat would be inevitable. Let every Democrat then attend the poll his neighbors to attend and vote the De mocratic ticket on all occasions. Let each on exert himself aa it the success of our cause de pended on bis individual exertion, and all will welt and our triumph be as glonous ss it will signal. We have the strength, let us not care lessly throw it away or impair it by dissensions, bu husoand it and put it forward when occasion shal require. Il'LV CELEBRATION.

We ate in recap, letters from several of the Western counties, aasur us that Judge Sutton is known aa a eonsisteu and talented democrat, popular wherever he a known, and would, if he will consent to becoaat democratic candidate for Congress receive gen eral support. He ia known to be a firm and uu wavering democrat, is free of the charge of be longing to cliques or factions, has never war upon the party. If the Judge will oon sent to allow the use of his name, the party wil rally around his standard, and elect him over all opposition from every quarter mt the fwi.

Their malice and viadictivness wil only recoil upon themselves for as sure ss thi tun rises and acts, these wbigs will be disappoint ed; these disorganisem will be crushed and thei treason condemned, results that will be hailed will general joy.

Johnson sustained by a most triumphant vote at the poll on the first Monday of August indeei will the voice of his constituents again call him the public counsels, and the whigs be again re buked and their aiders and comforters coverei with shame; the press abroad is congratulat ing the democracy here on the good fortune in hav ing such a man as him aa our democratic champion disorganizera at home, actuated by private malio and hostility are not ashamed to affiliate with thi whigs in a vain and futile attempt to crush himand turn over the State to the tender mercies whiggery. But the failure to carry ont this dia bolical scheme will be signal, and acorn and con tempt will be the reward. But to the notices; only two of which we shal now publish, taken from two papers published a Washington city; where Col. Johnson has eve been highly appreciated. says: "The Southern "We have repeatedly taken occasion to commen on the fact, that in spite of all the abuse to whici the faithful champions of the South in Congresi have been subjected servile presses at home or venal ones abroad, their continents have sus tamed them triumphantly wherever they have chosen to accept re-nomination.

On the other hand, the traitors and trimmers have either, generally, encounter strong opposition, the chances of defeat I or to sneak away from a trial in which mortifies non and shame only would await them. This is i I most significant and striking indication of the rea sentiment of the Southern people, even in thosi States that have in the spolialioi bills. The treason and the traitors both are dail; becoming more odious at the South; for the man I closely thereat character of that and the conduct of its supporse, are scanned ant investigated, the darker do they appear under thi scurtiny. Among the "few but faithful," who battled the last agamst that iniquitous Ho sut W. Johnson stood conspicuous; and it wil i be found in the Arkansas Banner, that he has beei triamphantly re-nominated." And the says: It will be seen that Col.

R. W. well known to ux for bat fidelity, seal, and talent the cause of democracy, is again the aelectioi of kit party to represent the State in the next Con gress. The fourth resolution of the aeries i by the body declares that no rn-w party organize not or Union testa are requisite in that State. Thi is a position entirely becoming to a party loyalty to the Constitution has never been doubted and whose devotion to the Union has been every prominent event in her history." A Fugitive Sieve Cue ia Chicago.

The ability of the and the disposition the people, to execute the Fugitive Slave law, i about to be tested in Chicago. The only accoun we have of the affair is in the Chicago Tribune the 2d paper with strong abolition ten deneies. A Fugitive afternoon, a bon two Deputy Marshal Baker arrested young colored man, calling himself Moses John aqn, upon State street, upon a warrant issued Saturday, at the instance of a person professing act air the agent of the claimant, who resides i i Missouri. He was taken at once to the Unite i States Court-room, 8aloon Buildmds, but on ac count of the prisoner not being provided with coun sel, the examination was postponed till 10 this morning, at the same place. We learn W.

Z. T. Pieshman, is engaged as counst for the claimant, and that L. C. Freer, Crar Goodrich, and Calvin De Wolf, have volun leered for the defence.

The prisoner baa reside in the city a considerable time, and says he cam from Canda. During the afternoon quite a number of colore and other persons collected around the corner the Salopir' Building and before the Court-roon and most of those who desired it were admittei including several colored persons. The Deput Marshal concluded to retain the prisoner in th Court room during the night, several persons vol unteenngto keep guard over him. Some of th of the prisoner were also invited to stay 1 the room to guard against unlair play. The Dep uty Marshal seems disposed to give the prisoni every legal opportunity to prove bis freedom, cor sislentent with the execution of his official lu the evening, several hundred persons asseu bled in front of the Saloon Building, many of thei colored, and a strong sympathy fur the prisoner wi manifested.

Bathing ia the Dead Sea. Heated and fatigued, we prepared fer a genen a private party; for the ptUrims detei mined to reserve their energies for the sacred Jot i dan, the lake of Sodom being held by them in hoi ror and abomination. The bad odor in which th lake was held, did not, however, deter us, an having called a halt, we plunged like young duel into the liquid element, Paulo chuckling like a old ben on the banks. We plunged? Disastroi was the enough head after hea popped up from the execrable eyes smarting, and tongues burning from the it tense sulphurous bitter saltneas of the detestabl liquid ia which we were immersed; walei it wi i not, nor bitumen, nor salt, nor sulphur, but a du glisting compound of all four.

So w.v Conway, Byrd and o'hen. Each candidate sigm tied intentions by fnenda to abide the rutonof the Convention and give rapport the nominee.

Hence Gen. Clarke is by all rule of conscience and good faith obligated to give hi support to the election of Col. Johnson.

Clarke is guilty of moral perjury, and the party defeate and a whig elected. The following from the Intelligencer shows th sttitudeof Oen.

Clarke. Kead for yourself, fricn democrat, and let the valuable and instructive les son sink deep upon your heart, that a broken dow i politician is the most unenviable and odioua of al of Ood's creatures. Gen. Clarke says: We here declare our determination to with hold our support of Johnson, and shall in th course of the canvass give the reasons for the fait that is in us. We would prove truant to our pnn i ciples, to ourself, our fnemls were we to give our adhesion to his support under the exislin i circumstances.

They are determined to oppose his no I mutation and appeal to us, whom they have ofte befriended, who has slood with them tu many bard fought battle, to give up the columns of th Intelligencer as their organ. I We may be alone in taking this step, othe i democratic papers may be coaxed and bullied into nominal support of tbe nominee, but we feel the I our strength does not consist in the number a i I newspapers or interested politicians, who may sus i tam us, but rather in the justness of our cause i the numbers of the democracy who are determine not to allow arrogant dictation to be cramme down their throats. We do not depend upon thus slippery politicians, who the rigkt still th wrong but upon those who, knowing th right. Awe matntma it." We now ask the democracy of the State, wi they any looger give approbation to the aapiratior of a man who can thus, without one excuai i prove traitor to his party, and refute to lend support to the nominee of the Convention, whor i decision he morally obligated himself to abide71 Has be any claims upon their sympathy say thousand times no.

It wts some tin after the child was missed, before any certain ii formation could be drawn from the other is to wh bad become of him and it waa only by threats severe punishment, that finally overcome iht fear and extorted from the boy who did th deed confeaaionof what bad happened. An effort made immediately to ascertain the situation of little felloyr and afford him relief, if he was not yond its power. Ropes were tied together with stone attached to one end, an attempt was made fathom the depth beneath, but more than six feet of rope were employed in vain no botto could be reached. A lighted candle was let down, but its light gave no hupeiul indicatio except that the pit was free from choke damp impure air, as far down as the candle Night came on and all further efforts had to I for the time abandoned.

On the next day furth trials wery made of the depth of the pit, but wi no better success. In despair, the frantic paten a ero about to give up all hopes of recovery orr lieving tbeir little innocent, and preparations we made to close up the mouth of the pit, to preve a like occurrence in the future, when it was su gesled and and agreed upon that another and fiinal effort should tie made by letting some iik dividual by rope examine the nature of the abyi A brother of the lost child undertook the fet ful task. Cords were fastened around his wa and limbs, and one to his wrist, by which be rnig indicate those above bis wishes either to de cead or to be drawn up. Ho was swung off ai slowly lowered, until having gone to the depth about fill he looked below turn, atul the shone through the thick darkness two glnteui eyes intently looking upward. In another roent he was standing on a shelf or angle in shaft with the child clasped to his bosom.

I fastened the little fellow securely to his own hod and bidding him lake the ope firmly in his hand the signal was given to draw up. The child he convulsively to the rope, and in a few winut they rose within view of the hundred aaxto spectators, who had assembled to the suit; snd when the first glimpse of the little ft low alive caught their eager gase. aertains ai shouts of joy from the excited multitude filled a and big tears of sympathy started from the eyes every beholiier. After the first paroxysms of light had subsided, the child was examined to had sustained any injury, and extraordinary tell, with the exception of a tittle bruise on back of its head, it was perfectly sound and hurt. The only complaint that it made was th it was hungry, being nearly 37 hours under ground.

The Ton ns have openly charyt that the government vs indifferent to their welfare I and safety, and but that commanding officers I Texas have been guilty of ignorance and neglect of thevr duty ia certainly true. In the first place, there not enough smuivd in Texas, The two regiments of II whieh are there are no more protection against Indians than if they were Kauuat hslks.

They can only be employed to defend and police the dtf ferent garrionat for scenting or pursuit they are (vet feetly valuletta. An attempt has been made to mount a part of them, but it hat proved total failure, for the following reasons; 1. The men were enlisted without any regard to fitness for dragoon service, and consequetly they knew nothing cither about tiding nr attending hunea. Neither the nor men receive stn add, tionsl pay for the extra duty thus imposed upon them. 3.

In many of the infantry particularly Ulnae that have served with dragoons is such an aversion for cavalry service that an observer would suppose every horse, like tie famous Trojanquadruped, concealed a deadly ene my. Thesix companies of id dragoons have been stationed intervals between tbr Rio Grande and Red river. Several of these companies have hut one officer with them: therefore many important duties are necessarily intrusted to vergeanls. alcaides. they have been expected to do much that it has bees impossible foi them to do anything well.

A single company required to reconnoitre or scout over a territory, or rather a desert, of three hundred asd fifty miles in Fort Brown to Eagle etghtv miics the Rio Grande to the Nueces, i Officers have been platted ia command of posts who have no experience or even information as re girdsJugjjnrii or Indian warfare; and they never will acquire either until they are compelled to do One of these sent nut a young lieutenant I pursuit of party which had killed some Men, ana and driven off their huraea, with instrucuous encamp at designated pomlt. A commanding offi i cer, who has an immense reputation in a small evr cle, ordered out a battery of light artillery, eneurn bered with a considerable train, to pursue and cap tore all parties of Indians they might find, Una i wilderness without roads or water, and pin of I coverec with such a dense growth of rhspparal aw! cactus hat nothing but a rattlesnake or an Indian could penetrate it. The government has neglected, and in fact ref fused, to furnish the pursuing parties with lides or Now, neither scientific education nor personal bravery eaa make aa officer a woods man, or teach him the difference between su luj and a trail. Such knowledge 6 is the result of a life time application, and ran only be acquired by men who have spent their lives in the woods chasing mustangs sod eluding Indians Nevertheless, a command was sent in pursuit uf a party which had killed several Mexicans and earned off the wires of two Americans and aKhmnh were ordered to follow the Indians long as there was any prospect of overtaking them, and did actually chitae them wore than two hundred milts, they were refused a trailer. The officer cob mand of the party was compelled hue one abandon the pursuit.

He took the former course, and Iks amount mas suspended at Waakmgtaa But the principal reason why the the operations against the Indians have been unsuccessful is. that there neither honor nor distinc tion to gained. During the Me mean war officers to were not within the range of the gun were breveted. Rome of these declined bonori which they had not earned; others who have tamed them acknowledge they did nothing worthy of notice; and it is hinted that if another portion i had received their deserts, instead of having increased rsnk conferred, they would lose that lt which they are already holding. Since these i Indian difficulties commenced oue officer has been ie i killed, ttree wounded, amt many have exhibited the most daring bravery.

Their services have ne lt ver been mentioned, although there'is no compare son between the courage of the Mexicans and tin Indiana Twoof the latter will whip fifty of the former; in fact, the simple word usns ports a Mexican with fear. If the government is really anxious to exterm, nale these savages, they must make use uf mount ed regular cavalry or Texan rangers. Both arc somewhat objectionable, (lur drag-xne lack knowledge of the woods and seif-reliancei the Texans want discipline, which they never will acquire so long as they sre commanded by of their own selection. Every separate command must also be lurtusbed with a good trailer. The 1 best are Mexicans who have been captured and raised by the Indians, and have then made their cape.

An officer following Indians must eipirt to aside everything like.cornfort.
