 From He Helena Journal
 Saturday, the 3d day of August, was proud day for old Phillips. It was day that will be long remembered by every true-hearted democrat and friend to his country The democracy met in large numbers at the court house, and, animated by that zeal and spirit which ever prompt to good and virtuous ac- tions, evinced their determination to stand or fall by their principles We say that the meeting was large one, considering the short notice given and the difficulty of reaching Helena from the river townships; and could the meeting have been postponed some eight or ten days, we have no doubt but that hun dreds of democrats would have been there to join in the response of their fellow demo- crats to the nomination of General THOMAS s DREW as the only t1aee democratic candi= date for Governor of Arkansas. The meet ing, however, was an interesting one. Itwas interesting on account of the persons who composed 1t; it was interesting on account ol the meeting, and 1t was interesting to be- hold the unanimity with which the whole proceedings of the meeting were sanctioned. 1 1t was interesting, because many democrats who have hitherto not been in the habit of attending public meetings were there, evincing their zeal in the cause which had brought so many of the true-hearted democrats together. It was interesting, because federalism and those who are disposed to seek federal aid to secure power and place, met stern and dignified rebuke; and we say to our friends elsewhere, that the democracy of Old Phillips will not forget the name of Drew and Y ell at the polls. We would refer the public to the resolutions adopted at the meeting. They breathe forth the true spirit of democracy, and will, no doubt, be responded to by every man not tinctured with whiggery, federalism, or toryism.

 Whereas, It has been made known to this meeting that the democratic candidate for Governor, Dr. D. J. Chapman, has, in con- | sequence of ill health, been compelled 10 withdraw from the canvass, and Gen. THOl- AS s. DREW having been nominated by various county conventions in different parts of the State, therefore
