STaIphg every nerve to stir up nsurrections in the Souih; il at the same time prohibits the introduction of a large proportion of lo- reign trade, which has hitherto produced re- clP'oeal advantages 10 our people, as well as those, Wlih whom this natural and beneli- ] cal commerce has been carried on; this mo- noPoly, also cuts oil large proportion of that very necessary aud profitable business 10 many ol the people of the United States he maritime interests. We are also oppos- ea to distributing Che proceeds ol the public lands of the United SatGs The public do- nam was left by the compact which formed tbe union, as fund in the hands of the Ge- nefa* government 10 discharge ils liabilities and eXpenses-and 10 donate il 10 tho States. isto divert Ii from the purpose far which t was intended. We, as the democratic party. entertain noW, the same views in regard to a Bank, that MT, Clay did, when he proresscd To be democrat, and before the United States Bank accommodated him to its thousands
 lst That such all institution is n0t author ised by the Constitution of the United States.
 I'd. That it would exercise dangerous influence against our free institutions. and 3d. That such Bank is not demanded by eXpedieacy. nor would the establishment ef Of one benefit the exchanges CT commerce of the UHi5ed States. Every days experience ! teaches Us, that the whig pretances that such an institution IS indispensable in order to the safe keeping and disbarsing of the public moneys, IS altogether iallaciou5; for when were the government moneys received, kept, and disbursed, with more salety and less ex- pense than at tie present time, and the eur reney of the country already regulated to lhe standard at which the Constitution placed it; and the exchanges have been regulated in- stead Of by Brokers and spectators as for merly,-by there solids. Reproductions ot the country never were, nor Tn the nature things, never can be more cheap, and more regular than at the present time, and dishon- est men of all parties, partook of it's iniqui- tous provisions. While i lived, it was a across child-the whig5 killed Il, and they should attend to ts funeral honors.
 Resolred, That we approve the call of a Democratic National Convention of Dele gates, fresh from the people, to fix upon the most suitable democratic candidates for Pre- sident and Vice President, and trust that the Convention may so adjust the claims of as piring friends to those offices, as to induce every democrat to act as though he had no other choice save those who may be nomi- hated as the standard bearers of our party, and the defenders of our principles.
 Res95ged, That we also approve of the call of another Democratic State Convention, in order that all cause of dissension in the democratic ranks of Arkansas, may be re moved, and that We may make a long pull, a strong pull, and pull alltogether,.a .and in the approaching canvass may bring tIe Good Ship Democracy, safely home to Is wonted lafbor.
 Resoleed, That we hereby aathosise and request oar democratic fellow citizen, Will Ham 8higield, 10 atla4d tbe Democratic s.ate Convention on the third Monday in tfIi5 month, and he is hereby authorised to act for us, as well as the rest of our democratic friends, in this county, in the proposed Con fention.
 Resolecd. That while we have entire con fidenee in the democratic integrity of our friend and delegate, hereby appointed, we suggest as ourchoice of candidate for Con- gress, tGe name Of Archibald Yell ; we may justly hail him as the flint and Steel that has never missed fire in the peoples cause, and il addition 10 the deep rooted and abiding confidence, we have iu him, we say at once if he Is nominated, the whig nominee for Congress, will have nc leeai advantages over him. We would suggest the name of Wm. F. Woodruff, for Governor We would sag- gest the names of Thos. B. Ilauey, William S. Oldham, and Abner r. Thornton, as dem- ocratc electors. While we make these sug- gestions of our own preferences, we are de- termined to do every thing in our power to bring about harmony and concert of action in our party, and hope every democrat may have but 10 learn the result of the Conyen- ton to be satisfied, and to unite in the sup port of its nominees We also grant discre- tionary powers to our delegate in regard to the nomination of other candidates, should those we have named fail 10 receive the sup port of the Convention.
 All of which were unanimously adopted.
 On motion of 1Tr. Sco0, tbe Secretary be requested to forward the proceedings of this meeting to the Arkansas Banner for publiea- tion The meeting then adjourned
