presided, Geo. Brodie acted as Secretary, and more than nine of the Democrats present sided with them. By this meeting, resolution was adopt ed setting forth the doctrines of the party, directly at variance with Gen. Byrd's remarks, and instruct for no man who held such doctrines as Gen. Bgrd had avowed. There is man who will question the true, unadulterated, enlightened Democracy of Geo. c. Watkins, Jared c. Martin, and Geo Brode. Thus, then, upon entrance into the State. we find public meeting of Democrats headed by those who are "not only pure, but above suspicion. and acting with great unanimity; yet among their most prominent acts virtual repudiatioa of Gen Burd and his avowed opinions! What opinion had we to form of him What opinion could we form of him ?- but that he was not Democrot-that he was a man either of Whig principles, of loose principles or of no principles at all. That he was not Democrat it required no second thought to determine in our own mind. This was too plain proposition to admit of 1 doubt. A very little subsequent observation made 1t equally plain that he was, either through gross ignorance or foul design, of no principle at a ready to '' box the compass of party, for the sake of office and with no.fixed idea on any sub ject except that he wished to be Governor of Arkan- sas, and unless the Democratic party would make him so, he would wreak his vengeance, by seeking to sow discord in the ranks, and grow weakness from dssension.
 Such is the opinion, fixed and unalterable which stubborn facts forced us to form of Genl Brd- Time and observation have but served to confirm it. And that our readers may have the same means of judging, as ourself, we proceed to unfold what has further come to our knowledge.
 The space we had allotted to this article is now fill ed. We must, therefore, defer the 2nd. Chapter until next week. And it is bitter potion, de- signed for Genl. Byds especial good it may operate best by being administered in ''broken doses" Our readers will please keep all the chapters, there will be several of them read them all in con- nection.
 In justice to the Democratic party, to whose true interest and honor are but doing our duty in making this exposition, hope all Democratic pa- pers in this State, who circulate in it, will repub fish what we write on this subject.

GOVERNOR YELL.

GOVERNOR YELL, having resigned the Chiei Magistracy of the State, left this city on Monday last. He took passage on board the Steam Boat Eveline, and will go up the river far as Lewis burg, where he will fulfil his first appointment, by addressing the people, on tomorrow. Thence he will traverse the State, on horseback, and meet his other appointments. few days since, he forwarded list of his appointments to MT. DAVID WALKER, his Whig opponent, and invited him to meet him before the people, at every place. It remains to be seen whether MT. Walker accepts the invitation.
 In Governor YELL, we have parted with one of our best friends-with one who has ever been to us generous in sympathy faithful in counsel, and un- wavering in support; and our inclination strongly prompts us to bid him " God speed,'' and say kind word at parting. Two considerations admonish us to be silent the one is that public newspaper is no place to express ones feeling of private friendship; the other is that the people of this State need not that Governor Yell should be commended to their regard-need not to be told that whether in. private in public life, he has discharged all his duties with fidelity and usefulness to the State and with high honor to himself Arkansas has ever delighted to honor him, and ever will; because he ever has worn her honors worthily and ever will He has now gone forth, in obedience to the voice of the people, to advocate their principles rights and inte rests. This duty he will do; and Tn acknowledg- service will be performed, they will make him the Representative of those principles, rights and inter- ests, in the next Congress of the United States.

GOVERNORS RESIGNATION. The resignation of Gov. YELL took place on Monday last, instead of to day, noticed in our last paper This change of the day was made in consequence of the high state of the water courses, which rendered il necessary for his Excellency to leave the city Steam Boat on Monday, in order to meet his appointments in the country.

THE TALE UNFOLDFD.

II we consulted our own feelings, we would not discuss the conduct of General Rchqrd c. Bqrd. in the columns of our papers for, in all sincerity, We do not consider any thing he could say or do worthy of our personal resentment. Circumstances, how ever, have placed him in such position before the public, that the honor and interest of the Democratic party seem to require an exposition of him, at our hands. However unpleasant, then, the task may be. sense of duty impels us to perform it. In doing so, we shall limit ourself to facts and circumstances which we believe to be well known in this city. and probably throughout the county of Pulaski; and in naTating these, we twill round unvarnshed tale deliver" and 'nohng extenuate, ought set down in malce."
 To Gen. Byrd'S communication in the ..Times and Advocate" of Monday, in which he plays the pitiiul blackguard and so plainly shows his little ness, we have no reply to make. Its mere perusal IS its own surest condemnation

 The present exposition of General Bgrd, which We propose to make dates back to the latter part of November; prior to which time we have no knowl edge of him.
 he hrst instance in which he came under our notice was at public meetng held in this city on the 27th of November, the proceedings of which were reported in the Banner of the 2nd of December signed C. W. Weller, Chairman, and W. R. Dunn, Secretary We did not attend the meeting but re- ceIved an account of it, from men of truth who did attend. They all represented the conduct of Gen. Byrd on that occasion highly dsorgaaieiag in it's tendency, and his remarks as strongly tnctured with IVhiggery; although he called himself a Democrat and had the words of harmony on his lips. The Gazette reported his remarks, and chucked over them as strongly favoring Whggery Moreover. he there declared himself candidate for Governor and denounced the Convention in advance of its meet ing; although he had advocated its call, and had aiaed In getting up the meeting then present. for the purpose oi sending delegates to the Convention. But mark lie played the disorganzer, only after he could not mould the meeting to his will Almost every Democrat present at that meeting. faH. we believe, except four, and Gen Byrd one of the four) hndlng that the cause was likely to suffer by such proceedings, recognized themselves into another meeting, by calling Geo. c. Watkins to the Chair and appointing Geo, Brodie, Secretary The pro. sssdings Of the meeting, thus organized, were re- ported in the Banner of Dec. 2nd under the head of Democratic meeting in Pulaski county" The pro- position to re-organize the meeting, as above stated was made by Jared C. Martin. Geo c. Watkins
