I OUAcHITA COUNTY. ARK, June l9, I844 To hc idator of the .arcaasas Banner:
 Believing that it is your wish to obtain and disseminate through your columns. Cor. rect information from different sections of the State relative to the progress of the great and glorious cause of democracy, and more par tlcularly touching the prospects of the nomi- nees of the April Democratic Convention, deem no apQlogy necessary for troubling you With the perusal of a few items from this new but populous county.
 Without further ceremony, let me assure you that the cause was never more prosper ous and flourishing with us than it is at this tune. It Is not to be denied that the whigs have received, during the twelve months last past, considerable accession to their ranks from South Alabama and Tennessee, andth a they, in consequence, claim majority in tn county; but ill this they are most egregiously mistaken, which they will discover to theil satisfaction on the first Monday Ill October next. The democracy of Ouachta are still erect-unhinching, unconquered, nconquer. able. Their banner floats proudly, majesti- cally, tri@mphantly before the breeze, and 1T October and November next, when the shril notes of the bugle shall call them forth tc battle, for their country and their liberties they will be seen focking to this standard from the north and the south, the east an6 the west, with sngleness of purpose and determination of spirit that will strike con. sternation and dismay into the ranks of the enemy.
 Without providential dispensatlon, Col l Jo4O Cor l,o I most certainly ''make himself manifest' in Little Rock, next winter. Col. F. Is man universally respected, not to say beloved and there is not another man in the county whlg or democrat, who can hold him a light and what is still better, he can abide the lief fersonian test, < he is honest, he is capable he IS faithful to the constitution" We re- gard his election then as certat'l-certain as any event can be while wrapped in the womt of futurity.
 Gov. Yell has been amongst us. He ad- dressed large assemblage of our citizens il Camden, on Saturday the Sth inst, His efor on that occasion was worthy of the man ant his cause, and fully sustained him in the higf estimation in which he was before held as al orator and statesman. He won for himsel golden opinions" in his conflict with Davit Walker, the leader and champion of the whig party. think 1t almost needless to add tha Tell will prevail by large majority in this section of the State.
 Col. Ashley was also in company with the Congressional candidates, and addressed us on the occasion referred to above. l have only time to say that his speech was charac- terized by great force, ability and depth oI thought--and that the splendor of his talents is acknowledged by all, both whigs and dem ocrats. Ashley will run well in this county
 Wonder if Dr. Chapman intends to pay Us visit this summer' We would be happy to see him, provided circumstances will per init him to give us a call But whether he come or not, there Is one thing certain, he will receive the whole democratic vote oi Ouachita With regard to the :. bat'' candi- date for Goyernor-him who Is neither ''beasi nor bird," he will stand no more chance here than < cat ill Tophet, without elaws."-- This vain pretender and would-be-gubernato- rial chair-tiller has also been amongst us and with praise to the hue democracy be il spoken, he will have to take his pains fol his trouble. verily believe that he will not get five votes in this county-indeed, am not acquainted with single Byrd man. The 'sTimes and Advocate"-that contemptble organ and supporter of this more than con temptible gubernatorial upstart, is here re. garded in its true light. No one reads i but to laugh with SCOTT. and dersion at pool Weller's worse than .9frican attempts at wit ticism.
 0 wad some power the giftie gie him,
 To see himself as ithers see him.
 Such an editor, in such c cause, richly mer- its, and will receive the odium and contempt of the honest of both parties-and judging from the indications throughout the State, nol to be mistaken, the soyereigns of Arkansas will, next October, teach these worthies-Wel Ter and Byrd-a lesson which they will no soon forget-and which may possibly be oI some service to them in their plannings fol the future. In haste, TRUTH.
