THE Si’BAKING AT HOCK PORT.
It was our good fortune to be present at this de
late, end to meet many old friends and acquaint
laoes whom we had uot seen for years. For i he
irst time we heard the polished candidate ul the
rbig party pour forth his well rouudel sentences,
lod stereotyped arguments. There is no denying
he fluent aed accomplished manner of Captain
’mtw, but bia style seemed to us better fitted
ora drawing room than the open wild wood where
ie addressed the rough boys who had gathered to
tear him. He would seem to be a true represen*
alive of the “silk stocking gentry" who at me
lime almost gave a name to the whig party, and
rho were geueraliy designated as " all-the-deceii
jy-party.” We say this out of no disrespect to
3opC Preston, for m truth we admire him as a
(•atleaaan, but simply to classify him among the
Mlitictans of his party. Me speaks well ami ar
;uoa eunmugly, but he is ir.om, and all* his well
urood periods and studied uidpnc.nsin, Ins grace
ill action and smiling addrestuhave no effect upon
he minds of men who judteHkright and wrong
or themselves, and who aq^Kfrom being ignu
Ut of the matters he dtso^jpp. Upon the great
lueetions of the compromisejfe said nothing new

he great speeches made in 0flp0s.<< upon the .sub
oot, but he violently urgjrthat Col. Johnson
ihould oot claim the benefit of hia democracy or
ho olaima which the uuminotion gave him upon
te party—that the purity and righteousness of the
MOfnoiM bill should alone be the issue, and he
odoavored, after declaring ie was a whig, to leave
ho impression that fab was^ot so much of a whig
Oat. J oh moo, though inferior to hi* opponent
n ■ roere declamatory effort and perhaps m grace,
muleaa address far more interesting and original;
Lnd thorn m aa enthusiasm and earnestness about
liM - rapid, unstudied and continuous chain of
igiuarM flowing from him that moved and anuiix
ad the assemblage to a higher degree than the
itaad eloquence of his courtly competitor. John
oa had this advantage, however, at the meeting,
a that he found himself surrounded by a lust of
•voted personal friends who hai ku >«u him years
go, when practictdfc law in that county, and who
avo him a aincere and hearty welcome, and this
Hj; cheered linn io more than ordinary seal
nd energy. The impression he left was ceuamiy
I flattering to him as his best friends could desire.

0™*ft Waabingum Clarke, editor of the Van
Bnren Intelligencer, disclaim* being • duorgani
mt, and call* upon us to witboid out support from
Ool. Johnson on the ground of his being one—on
the ground that Robert W. Johnson, the nominee
of the party in convention assembled, w against
the compromise and a diaumonist.
It is a notorious fact that Oeo. W. Clarke was a
candidate for the nomination before the conven
lion, and that be moved heaven and earth to se
cure a triumph over hie adversaries. _ That hia pa
per was filled with letters purporting to give public
sentiment from various portions of the State—and
to believe his own story, he was, per errellantr,
the man for the people.
It it s notorious fact that he was against the
compromise—against the north and against thr
whig party ; that in these things apparently to the
public, he was bitter, stern and unyielding.
tie entered the race carrying no weight but hi)
own political faults and sins. He hat'. a fair field,
and he left no atone unturned to achieve tus ob
ject—and up to the last moment he was firm ir
the belief that he would 1« nominalerl, and con
sequently up to the last moment, profuse with hii
promises snd uncompromising in his opinions.
But the face of things became changed; tfi<
people—the democracy, began to rast around fo
a man; they wanted a candidate of their owr
choice; they did not feel wi:h the little editor, hu
admiration for his own eminent abilities; the;
brought out and renominated their old favorite
though he had expressed his desire to retire Iron
office; and this they did over the head of Ueorgr
Washington Clarke.
The disappointment was too provoking—far tor
much so to be bourne by even his self-gacrificin;
democracy, or by bis love of southern rights ant
southern justice. His patriotism, like that of Ben
edict Arnold’s, gave way to his ungovernable pas
sums, and every principle of his nature wax madi
, subservient to the one feeling—the burning desirr
of revenge. Upon the altar of h-,s wretched self
ishnes* he resolved in cold blood to sacrifice no
only his principles and his party, but the wholt
south itself.
But here the parallel ceases, for unlike Ar
mold's, his was not the fall of a great man. There
j are few admirers of the man to mourn over hi:
treachery, or grieve the lass of his services to the
parly.
George W. Clarke has proved not only recre
ant to his principles and hu party, but also ti
every pledge he made and every sentiment ht
breathed prior to the sitting of the State democrat
ic convention.
This fact is notorious and capable of the rnos
direct demonstration.
Before the meeting of the convention he was
for the nominee, lie said, “ if lie was not m the
majority he would support, with alt his zeal, the
fortunate candidate—-protultd he was not a com
promise man.” But now, disappointed in lus ten:
lofty aspirations, he has forgotten this sacred
pledge—he is open mouthed and bitter against
Col, Johnson, and for the eery :rit*m that Johnson
op,us d the compromise measures.
Prior to the convention he was zealous for a
southern rights man, and on every occasion con
stantly and boldly denounced ail subrnisstonists a
| disorganize™, and traitors to the south and then
i party. He declared in his letter to a gentleman
at Helena, arid which is published in the last
: Bulletin, that “ the cause (of the south) will tri
| urapb even in Arkansas, though it is beleagured
! by trained bands of disorganizers, freesoilm. and
traitors to their party. Now mark what I write—
a southern rights man will get the nomination in
our slate democratic convention. And more, he
will be elected, though this army of li is organizers
take the field.” ^
How true this prediction—how clear this in
sight into futurity, and how proud and happy
should Ciark now feel m the triumph of his long
cherished principles—in the realization of his most
! ardent wishes.
Hu predictions have been verified, a southern
j rights man, and a gentleman of taicut and ability
i hat been chosen. Ought Clarke not now to be a
contented man?
But far otherwise, his ambition has blasted all
such ideas of contentment, h s morbid vanity aid
selfishness has usurped the place o: principle and
patriotism—nas mitred the pleasure he ought to
I have derived from the success and triumph of his
cause, and has hurried him into a course of con
flict^ th* rashness, and wickedness, and baseness
! of which has for ever ruined his pros|»eftts in the
| State of Arkansas.
Prior tvithe convention he declared his rc-s iiu
: non to support the nom.nee of tbi party. We
I no.v find him, w.tli his whole ring o' and main,
with his whole heart and soul, laboring in d-.fea
that nominee—laboring to effect that brea h
which in his in>r patriotic mmunis no sj do p y
i deplored.
Prior to tint convention ho was an am- wi
promise man—a friend to the cause of the s > ith
and* supporter of a southern rights noimn
| But now we find him using all his eu rgi.-s n a
! course directly the reverse. Sustaining a fedora1
.whig-compromise candidate, ami ende i coring 11
■ defeat a thorough an 1 sterling southern rights de
mocrat, denouncing him Chart unjustly and most
falsely as a disuniomst an I an en:iiiy to hiscoun
| try.
; enthusiastic democrat. But now.he has changed.
Ho lias gone over to ttie wings—a laborer in their
I cause, and a warm supporter of “ Ins friend,” the
federal whig champion. He has ret used our prin
i ciplea—he has repudiated our party—he has repu
, dialed democracy, and deserted the nominee of
t'irrr successive at l retfttuhlt Sutlt Dnnorratt:
cimvrntumi.
These sms General George Washington Clarke
had committed. Whilst big with the hope of a
' seat in Congress, he moat emphatically declared
i that, “we make no distinction of cliques here—
i we hang together on the Southern rights question.
Letters from the south assure me of strength in
that region of the State. However «* tone:, grasi
fied as I would be to get the nomination, niv thirst
fir office shall not .ntervre in the least, with tin
l prospect of the question. If l am not in the iiu
joriivl will support w Hi all ui/ /.-‘a l the fortunate
j e uniidate pr.*i Ui he has not a compromise
{ name.”
Now what docs ail this mean ’ Is it mere stuff
_mere declaration 1 Or is it not a most solemn.
a most sacred and a most unqualified pledge tj
i support the nominee of our party—to support a
I a eijbern right’s candidate, or *u other words, a
•: pledge to support for C mgre.-s Col. K. W. Johnson,
;a southern right's man and ttie nominee of the
1 party. After thi» who can place any fat'.h in He
! professions and the pledgee of i’tarke. W ho dare
maintain thath • has preserved his honor uniulm-d
by the crime of fmthles.sa.3tt to his friesJ», and
treachery—deep and damning treachery !o ins par
tv. Clarke's treason has covered m ob!i\ m nit
memory of his past gootl offices. It has disposes
sed him of. his p-KitioM in uie party. Ii has blasts :
all of his hopes, sad it has buried fits name, his
chsracter and reputation beyond all redemption.
But we must pass the traitor by—we rn.nl con
sign lum to that ihasappouitraeut which awaits him
on Monday nest— consign bun to that terrible doom
whish awaits all men who build topes spin such
haw and dishonorable /rounds.
We need him not. The democrat-r of Arkansas
are still strong and terrible. Success i* within
: their grasp. We need him not, for to use hi* own
j Isngaage. "the can** will triumph even in Ar
' ksnsas, though it i* beleaguered by trained l«n<ia
j of disorgan'xers, free seders, and traitors to their
I party.
Democraiaof Arkansas! the day of tnuniph for
i our principles is drawing near. With you for
| years past we have, shoulder to shouler, fought and
i triumphed over the whig*. Your cause hss been
| ours. Your interests and your rights, we haw
struggled to the best of our ability to protect and
i enforce. We now have before us cite more, and
j a great battle to fight. Our lues are well discip
plmetl and resolute—they are already in battle ar
ray. They have done their utmost to create divi
sion and duw ordj* ithin our ranks. They have
threatened—they have bluaterd—they have bulli
ed. !!ut arc we lernfled ? Our party lias been
stripped of the faithless—the disorganisers are ar
rayed in the opposite ranks, all is us we ought to
wish it, and with one evertion, one more effort,
we will drive all opposition before us. liy your
voice in convention assembled, your nominee has
been called to your service. He did not seek this
nomination, but most willingly, and most cheerful
ly he hasobeyed your call. At great personal sac
rifice he Las taken up your standard, end even
while we are writing, he bears it boldly into tMr
thickest of the fight. A gentleman of the bright
est order of talent, of a courteous manly hear ng,
and a most self sacrificing, generous nature, inde
pendent of the party and the principles he advo
cates, R. W. Johnson is in every way worthy of
your most ardent and enthusiastic support. Let
not this cry of Union! Union! deceive you, it is
I but a cloak to cover the vilest Federal whigery.
i KM. IV. Johrunm it no ditunionitt. He has even
! displayed both bv Ins conduct and his writings, a
I thorough attachment to this Union, and the stren
j uons efforts he made to protect your -nterests and
) maintain your rights—to preserve in is original
■strength and purity, the constitution, is the sorest
! and ssfest guarantee f ir h.s future devotion to the
Republic.
Cholera ul Ft. smith.
We regret to learn by the Herald of the I8lh
I inst., that there was no abatement of this scourg
in that city, although it had already prevailed there
I up to that time, for seven w eeks. But so far from
any change for the better, the disease seemed to b>
i on the increase as the number of deaths during the
wt-ek up.to the t9th were fourteen, a larger n on
| bet than any previous weekly report exhibited.—
i The Herald says;
“On Thursday, 10th, the day our papef wetr
i to press, there were three deaths, viz; Mis. Oalla
iger and child, wife a.id child of Michael tJah ..a.
Nannie, child of Mrs. J. B. Lyndo; Saturday,
Thomas Willoughby, child of M s. .1. it. Lynde;
Sunday. Mary Elizabeth, child of Mrs. J. H. Lynde.
Mrs. Birckhead, Mrs. C'ailaban, wrought from Sul

and Mrs. MrKnelt, i|eg roc hi Id of Col. Rutherford's;
j Tuesday, Maria Paltrier; Thursday, Nancy M’Cas
: lin, brought in from Sulphur Spring, Ed. Palmer,
old Mr. Gray."
Nor does the disease seem to be confined to For.
Smith: the neighborhood is beginning to be infec
ed, and at a place one mile from Fort Slab, tail
ed Sulphur Spring, containing about fifty inhabit
ants, there were ten deaths bv cholera. Tin- Her
all sa>s: “Nearly all of the citizen were afflicted
with the disease, ll has, heretofore, been consid
ered a very healthy location, and has been a plai •
of general resort, of the citizens of our town, niorn
; ing and evening, on account of the medicinal quali
ties of the water."
P.S. Since writing the above we have received
intelligence up to the -’5th, as follows:
. “ Physicians say the cholera has dirapp ored
from Fort Smith, but there is considerable diseases

In response to the card of Mr. VVoodrutTin the
last Gaxetee -V Democrat, we have only to say, that
we have selected three ttismte retted practical, and
experienced printers, to measure the w irk and
i make out the bi;l for printing the Acts, in aicord
a:e- • with He- prh : contra- ■ J f ; by Mr. W■
i Icy. if they lin.l that out bid is incorrect, w e-wdl
! uc us ready as anv one to make the correction.
In estimating the bill, an error may have be n
I committed, but we have no idea that it is to the
extent that Mr. Woodruff Supposes, Kir upon an
I examination of Ins estimate, we find that h- has
i excluded much that joumeytnen printers (rchnieulty
. term fat, and which would leave the profession ex
ceedingly lean indeed, if printers were only allow
ed to measure their work by the l i e of the type.
In addition, '.ve have to say at present, that in
j giving the certificate which we did, that we tl-.d
| not de*m it necessary to measure the work but
! simp!# to take the ite ns s.par..: by and mike the
I estimate, and if the State has been overcharged,
; wc have n i doubt that .dr. Wliitely will feel ready
l and willing to deduct the same from tin- am iitil

The farmers and mechanics of Cayuga county,
in this State, arc stud tube organising what they
call ■■ Protective Union,” towards which, ten thou
sand dollars have already been subscribed. The
object, of the association is to dispense, a* fa* as
convenience will permit, with the services of fac
tors, or " middlemen," and thus render the busi
ness intercourse between producer and consumer
as direct as possible. Coodrinations of this kind
are of a purely business nature, and are entirely
different from the social aggregations of Owen.
It is intended that the farmers and mec hanics of
the “Cayauga county Protective fiiion,'’ trade
directly with each other, instead ol contributing to
enrich, hy a heavy per cmlxt;e on the profits of
their labors a large number of intermediate specu
lators. This object is to lie accomplished, partly
| by barter, and, in part, by wholesale purchases of
materials.
I am satisfied that the relations between the ag
tirultural and mechanic inter. Vs- me too much
complicated—that they have been rendered so for
the especial benefit of the intermediaries, whose
; number might lie lessened, with great advantage to
i the original source* of demand and supply.
