May 23, 1S44. 76 Me Editor of the Banner:
 Sir-A few days since saw one of Gen. Byrd's hand bills, charging the late Demo- cratic Convention with fraud, intrigue, &c., and among other things, that R. H. Y eates, of this county, had taken his seat as a delegate without any authority from the people of Phillips county, and cast his vote against him As member of the Democratic asso- ciation of Phillips county, l deem itmy duty to correct the General, and it is due to the democracy of Phillips, and Mir. ' eates, our worthy representative, that the General should be set right.
 meeting of our association was held on the 2d Monday in April last, and MT. Y eates was appointed (aaanimously) a delegate to represent the democracy of Phillips county in the Convention So you see that Mir. Y was in fact delegate, and that he represent ed us traly and faaYHlly, is not questioned here. The nomination of Chapman for Go- vernon, and Yell for Congress, Is the ticket we desired most, every Democrat in this county will support it with all his might. As to Gen. Byrd, if there be a Democrat in the county who is for him, do not know it- tell gou there iS not one. We know him 10 be disorganizer--a Bunk Democrat.
 In our elections for President and Vice President, Governor and Congress, the De- mocracy of Phillips will act in perfect con cert but in our elections for the State Legis- latme, we are now, and fear will be divided We have among us certain aspirants, who will be candidates for office before the next Legislature, and each is anxious to place be- fore the people ticket made mp of his own particular friends. Now, sir, if those gentle men will be patriotic enough to retire and leave all to the people, they miH do right. and all our scisms and divisions will be healed
 have carefully read the editorial in the Banner of the 18th, in regard to the annexa- ton of Texas, and must confess that was not prepared for Mir. Van Buren's opposition to it. No, sir, yOu are not alone. We are all with you in this quarter, I mean the De- mocrats) the Wings can speak for themselves 4 Tcras meeting will be held here in a few days, where full and fair expression of opinion upon the subject of annexation, Sc, will be had.
 We are making arrangements to patronize the Squatter, about which you will hear shortly.

A MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF Al
 NENAIION. IN SALINE -GOuNTY.

NE&AIION, IN SALINE COUNTY.
 Pursuant to previous notice, the citizens ol Saline county met at the court house, on the 25th of May, lS44, to take into consideration the subject of the annexation of the Republic of Texas to the United States-all political parties united.
 The meeting was organized by calling D. c. Mcdaniel, Esq, 10 the Chair, and ap- pointing Finas Leech, Secretary.
 The Hon. Charles Caldwell addressed the meeting at some length, at the close of which the following preamble and resolutions, ex- pressiyc of the sense of this meeting, were unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, 1t is apparent to this meeting that crisis is at hand that loudly calls for the action of all lovers of our social, political, and religious institutions one, too, in which the destinies of this nation must necessarily be essentially and virtually affected; a neigh boring State, seeing and deliberately contem- plating the beauties of our simple republican institutions, are desirous of uniting their fate with ours by becoming a member of our po- Itical family, stands knocking at our door, asking admttance not suppllants for our charity, but share our social national bles- sings For this, they propose more than a quid pro quo, for they are rich in energy, natural resources, and patriotism To vast ly extensive domain of the most fertile val lies and beautiful plains, they unite the most delightful and salubrous climate, congenial to all the pursuits of the husbandman, to health, 10 comfort, and to happiness. They properly constitute part of the valley of the Missis- sippi. and without reference 10 the manner that they were cast of from the pale of our protection, they now propose to retun.- Shall we refuse their honorable and affection ate overtares Or shall we extend the hand of fellowship, and welcome them to the joys of the happiest government on earth.
 Be It therefore
 Rcsoited, That wisdom demands the i'm mediate remuneration of Texas to the United States, and delay may prove dangerous; for as nation, family, or as individuals, we should never put of for tomorrow what can be done to-day
 RcSoleed, That for his wisdom, sagaeity, and promptness in treating for the re-annex- ation of Texas, John Tyler, the President of the United States, is untitled to the highest consideration of this nation.
 Reso7red, That for the purity of his moral character. virtuous and stern integrity, and patriotic republicanism, John c. Calhoun has our undivided con1idence-that for his gifted intellect and brilliant mental attainments, he is a fit sentinel on the watchtoWer of his country's honor.
 Resolped, That the Chairman and Seere- tary sign the proceedings of this meeting, and transmit a copy thereof to the Arkansas Banner.
 Whereupon, the meeting adjourned.
 D. C. MCDANIEL, Chairman
 FINAs LEIGH, Secretary.

ON DIT.-We are met on all sides with rumors, (and as such we give them to our readers,) of the breaking up of President Tylers Cabinet
 MR. CALHOUN, it is said, only awaits the action of the Senate upon the treaty for annexation, to retire; and this will not be final, as Mir Archer assures him. until the return of the bearer of de- spatches to Mexico, for the settlement of the Texas boundary and statement or renqulshment of her difficulties with Texas.
 MR SPENCER has resigned and the Washington correspondent of the Albany Argus says, that he dsagrees with the President and a majority of the Cabinet on the Texas question, and will be succeed ed probably by Mir. Rush of Philadelphia, or Mir. Green of N. J. Both are spoken of. In the interim McClintock Young will be acting Secretary. He further says that Mir NELSON is too much the de- voted friend of Mir Van Buren to be palatabe to Mir. Tyler, and will shortly tender his resignation.
 General Almonte, the Mexican Minister, is in New York, supposed to be waiting instructions from his government as to whether its diplomatic relations shall be continued with this country, acquant- ance cut altogether Mexico, when advised of all this agitation concerning Texas, will doubtless deem Unnecessary to spunk up considerable, "but that will not probably change greatly the ultimate views of the United States in relation to that province. Ii any conflict should arise, and Mexican honor sustain an insult at hands, it is presumed as in the affair of Monterey on the coast of the Pacific, that the same amount of old clothes and tin horns, will suf- flee to wipe out the disgrace. Or, if the case be more aggravated, cask of blue brooches. more or less, is small matter to and will set it all right.
 OREGoN.-We like the decided and '.never.do-to- give-itup-so" tone of the suboined resolution pass cd at meeting of the Democracy of Hamilton coun- tv, Ohio:
 Resolued, That we look upon Oregon to be the territory of the United States, and arc unwilling to yield one foot to the kingdom of Great Britain, though 1t be as dry as the parched deserts of Arabia, or barren as the dreary deserts of Siberia.
 There is always something about these Democrats of Hamilton. hearty and determined when measures for the conmon good are under consideration, and in the great cause of Republicanism they are ever earnestly at work. We have few specimen of the breed in these parts, in wise detericrated by a aemoval to Arkansas. iIoae are ycu Ha,7y?1
