The whig party with great una nimity, selected Mr. Scott, for the Senate, and Eli Colby, Dick Fletcher, and Hill, for the House of Representatives, all unwavering, in- teligent, and popular whigs, but they were farmers and mechanics, and had no interest in the banks, and it was known they would be for requiring the banks to pay their inter- est, now due, amounting to about $4O0,000, by the calls and interest from the bank debt ors; hence, they were not thought of; when it is well known to the people of this county, that Dick Fletcher and Eli Colby, are two of the strongest men in the ranks. But, gentle men, you must ssbide your time,o bank men are needed, and the Clay Club las so ordain- ed it.

 MIR. EDITOR A few weeks ago, digging in a mound near my house, found a cavity (which had probably been made by the go- phers) about three feet below the surface, in the bottom of which, lay snake, in coil, which, when measured, was four feet eight inches long, and six and half inches in glrth. It is of a skv-blue color, covered all over with a soft fine fur, like mole, except its head and tail, which are of silvery white ness, and as smooth as the finest morocco leather. can discover no fangs in it's mouth; but in bending back its tail, four fangs pre- sent themselves to view, resembling those in cats claws. As it is torpid, it is easily ex- amined. am a new conner, and did not know but such snakes were common in this country but my neighbors say (and they have all come to see it) that it Is a monde script; it can be seen at any time, as have 1t in box. lfs tail Is composed of twelve soft flexible joints.

 MR EDITOR: It is not my purpose in this number to give the history of our Banking institutions Ill Arkansas; l shall reserve that for future occasion, and before I am done. l will prove, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that 1t is the intention of the Banks to force the State to REPUTATION or DIREc T TAXATION, to pay the interest due upon the State Bonds, and finally the Bonds them- selves. This prediction desire to be borne III mlnd by every citizen in the State shall attempt to demonstrate as conciSely as pos slble, that the Banks are making bold stands to govern the destlnes of this State, and to do so, l shall only give plain unvarnished statement of facts, and leave the people to judge for themselves. IL is well known here. that the Ctay Cfnb of this place was organ lzed by few would be leaders of the whiq party. The Cashier of the Bank is its Pre- sident, the Attorney its principal manager and orator They called a county meeting to nominate county olliccrs-at that meeting, the attorney of the bank, Mr. Pike, presd- ed, he appointed the committe of course, who brought in the nominees for the county, and who do you suppose they are Thos: W.

DI,.D. l. CHAPMAN.

The subioined letter from DR. CHAPMAN, was received last evening after our paper had gone to press, and our packages for the Eas- tern, Southern and Western mails, were made up. We stop the press, in order to lay it., at once. before our city readers, and those iii the country who were not supplied with our paper by the mails of last night. It will appear, again, in our next number, so that all our readers will receive it at the earliest practicable moment.
 Weare gratled at the receipt of this letter, as, we presume, all will be, who desire the harmony and union of the Democratic party in Arkansas. Ii is what we expected from Dr. Chapman. We now repeat our wish, and the wish of many Democrats, that another Convention will be held, and either confirm the present nominations, or make others We also repeat that this is not our wish be- cause we are dissatisfied with the present no- miuees, for we are perfectly satisfied with them. We desire an other Convention in crder to ascertain, beyond doubt, who are the choice of a majority of the party and having aseertained who they are, we will sustain them with what ability and zeal we possess and every true Democrat, laying aside individual preferences, will II lite with us, for the good of the whole party. For this purpose, let the new convention be full one-let it consist of delegates from at the voice ofa majority of the party, and then let all echo and reeeho t throughout the State; and in p@ans of triumph at the next elections. Various days have been suggested by our correspondents for holding the new conven- tion. So far as we are able to judge the 5th Monday in April is the choice of by far the greater number It is the only day named to which no objection has been made We believe, therefore, that 1t will be most con venent for tho greatest number; and feel au- thorzed to propose that it be fixed upon, as the day when the new Convention will as- semble
 BATEsvILLE. ARK, February 2, IS44. To tae Editor of the .arhoasas Banner:
 SR-lherea appears to be some opposition, either to the Democratic State Convention, held at Little Rock in December last, or to the nominees of that Convention If the dissatisfaction is with the people, and they should believe 1t necessary to call another Convention, which shall be composed of de- legates from majority of the counties in the State, my claims, if have any, and my friends think proper again to urge them, will be cheeriully submitted
 Ii has ever been matter of regret to me, that the December Convention was minor ity one, although when the nomination was accepted, 1t was believed to reflect the wish es of a majority of the democratic party
 As had no agency in getting up the first, 1t cannot be expected that will attempt to exercise any influence in bringing about second Convention
