The Arkansas banner., 1844-08-07

& EazEA.-zz- that House as the representative of this district enabled him to become not less thoroughly acquainted with the legislative offices of our republican system of government.
 Res01eed, Thatin the language of Bancroft the historian of his country, " the private life of James K. Polk is pure" We know 1t to be without stain. Its purity is disseminated throughout all his private and public acts, giving to them a distinctive moral and eXenl- plary character.
 Reso7ced, That we heartily approve the nomination of George Mifflin Dallas of the great |" Keystone State" as candidate for the Vice Presidency, and recognize him as one of the old school republicans, every way worthyof place on the ticket with :. Ten nessee's favorite son, and shall reioicein the opportunity to give him our free and united sufiages.
 In reference to the meeting, the Democrat, pub lished at Columbia, has the following remarks:
 Atthe conclusion of Gen. Pillows speech the approach of Messrs. NICHOLSON and 1 MARTIN, bearing alon banner, as present, 1 fromthe Hopkins County Guards, throughthe Mass Meeting to the < lst Legion of Texas l Guards" here, with the names of s' Polk and Dallas, Butler and Pitcher, and the Constitu- ] tion as 1t is" on one side inscribed, and the .2l0ericaR EagIe, and the Stars and stripes beautifully embazoned on the other, sent through the crowd thrill so deep, so intense as almost for a moment made them frantic with joy. Who that witnessed the outbreak of enthusiasm of that hour-the waving of handkerchiefs by the ladies (of whom hun- dreds were present. the throwingup of hats- who that heard the shouts, the huzzas loud, long-drawn out, thunder-toned, soul-cheer- ing, that went up in peal after peal from that assemblage of thousands of freemen, could doubt for moment the unanimity in purpose, in feeling and in action, thatnow animates the democratic party, and is the glorious fore runner of that brilliant victory that is always attendant upon the strength of union.
 AGAIN.
 On the 18th July, a mass meeting of FIVE THOU SAND, was held at Jackson, in the Western District Among the speakers, were Judge WN. T BROWN. of Memphis, Col. PORTER, of Texas, and Hon. ROGER BARTON, and Col. Jo. MATTHEWS, of Mississippi The Jackson Republican speaks in the highest terms of the glowing elQquence and powerful effect of the speeches delivered. The Republican says:
 ssNeyer were the democracy SC firm. united, and full of energy as they now present them- selves. Every man is aroused, fhere is no hesitatng, no laltering, but all, all, seemed determined to do their duty to themselves, and their country"

 ONWARD, DEMOCRACY Our heart is cheered, and hopes rise higher for the success ofbe Demo- cratic party, when we read in the papers numerous notices of men boldly renouncing Whig principles and ralIying under the banner of Democracy. In every State, in every county and village from Maine to Louisiana, we hear of new accessons to the De- mocratc ranks; and ere the canvass is over, those ranks will present such a formidable appearance in numbers and strength that Henry Clay will regret the day he consented to run for the Presidency In old Tennessee the Whig deusion of I8l0 is rapidly passing away. Read the following and give aiae cheers for Democracy:
 RED MoUNn, July I5th, Is44. 3o tie Editor of tte JacFyoa RepQ5iic0a:
 s.Ne, the undersigned, citizens of the county of Carroll, wish to assign our rea- sons for quitting the whig party. We have been acting and voting with the present mod ern whig party ever since 1840-but belieY- ing as we do that their principles are not re- publican; therefore we cannot support Mir. Clayn

 CoNNEGTIcUT.-Th State, foIowingin the wake of the other States of he Union, is .sup and doing all she can for Polk and Dallas. In the Hart(orq Times we notice the proceedings of several large meetings held in different counties, at all of whicF resolutions were passed expressive of their warn expectations of the nomination of the National Con Yention. The following letter from MT. Woodbur, was addressed to a meeting held at Sharon, in the I1th distrct-
 PORTSMOUTH, N. H., June %, i844.
 Dear ST:-l feel under great oblipations for the polite invitation, to attend Mass Con- VeRtion, to be held at Sharon, (Con..) on the 4th ofJuly, which youhave beenalready com munieate to me inso llauering amanner. Had not my engagement been already complete to visit Bangor, in Maine, on the 4th, it would give memuch qualification to accept, and com mune once more with the democracy of Litch- field county, where, in former years, while acquiring professional education, t was my lot to witness their devotedness in support of sound prncipless.
 l am conscious that in few sections of the country, have the friends of those principles had more to contend with-more exertions to baile their progress, and more preiudices toencoanterand overcome. Buttruth, though "crushed to earth, shall rise aqain.''
 The Democrats of Connecticut are not ac- eastomed to indulge in despondehfcy; and sel- dom have they possessed better grounds of hope than now.-Their cause is now good their candidates good-their spirit good the omens from all quarters, good and exhil- lFatmg, and nothing seems wanting to ensure signal triumph, but energy and union. AL low me, then, to submit the following as a sentiment for the occasion:
