Dr. SeLoN BoRLAND -
 Dear Sir:-Y esterday we had the Hon A. Il. sevier among the good people of Clark County; he gave us a speech of some two and half hours long, but to me it did no seem more than twenty minutes and 1t was truly eloquent. do not see how he could have been otherwise; for he has certainly been worse treated or persecuted by the committee who made the report of his trans actions and conduct with the Real Estate Bank, than any man have seen; and any candid man who will take the report and examine the matter impartiallY, cannot come 10 any other conclusion. He spoke the truth, and truth is always eloquent. Both Wings and Democrats paid particular atten- ton to Col Sevler2s speech; for 1t was so convincing they could not do otherwise Some of the old settlers of this county and stand by's of Col. s. from reading the com mlttee's erparte report on his conduct with the said Bank, and the sale of the 800 bonds. and from hearing Dr. Gibson, DaVy Walker and some other small fry, denouncing him Tn their stump speeches, had.been yery,much enraged at his conduct. l must confess that had fallen into error about 1t. But I. as well as all, with one or two exceptions, who heard the Col's speech, were fully convinced of our error and also that there was noth- ing wrong or criminal in his conduct, with the aforesaid Bank. And we were more fuI- ly convinced after hearing Mr. Flanagin's re- ply Nr. I, was one. ol the famous Bank committee; and, in his reply to Col. SeYier, he stated that he did not believe, nor never had believed, that Col Sevier had profted one dollar by his Bank agency; which Is a very fair and honest statement for Whig to make. Mr. Flanagin pledged himself that fl he was elected, to vote for Col. Sevier's ha- Ring hearing at the meeting of the General Assembly.
 Any Whig, or Democrat either, who might become a candidate for the Legislature in this county, and take the ground that he was op- posed to Col. Sevier's having an impartial hearing, could not get twenty votes. Indeed. l do not know of but one man in the county who is opposed to his having hearing.
 Col. Sevier acquitted himself with much honor; and if the good people of Arkansas understood the matter fairly, and the object that most oI that committee had in view, it would completely use up both Doctor Gib- son and little Dayy Walker. At any rate it will use them as rough as the PoH-berries will the coons, in the November election.

DR. BoRLANp,
 DEAR SiR,-Y esterday. was proud day for "old Johnson" We had meeting, eoni- posed of some fce hundred of the Democ- racy, to whom Col. ASHLEY made the most lorcible and convincing speech we have ever listened to. The whigs, of whom many were present, had not word to say in reply to him. so perfectly irresistible and over whelming were his arguments
 Byrd had passed up a few days before, and on his way, scattered his usual quantity of slapder. He occupied some time, in re- tailing his oft repeated and stale charges against Adams, Bruton, and Ashley, about their course in the convention. But ASHLEY made the whole matter perfectly plain to the people; and when he closed, there was mo- thing left of Me Byrd but a few feathers, and they were very ragged.
 YELL met Byrds at this place, and made speech in his usual happy style ARoHY is truly the tavorite of this county; and she will show her regard for him by giving him 350 majority over little Davy" We intend also to send a full team of Democrats to the next Legislature.
 When Ashley finished we had a splendid barbecue; and every thing went of the ut- most good feeling and enthusiasm.

The following is letter from General Jackson to Capt. Russel of this county. A portion of it testfes to the patriotic services of our fellow citizen during the last war, but much the most interesting and important part to our readers are lgs views upon the question of annexation. He displays his usual saga city upon this as upon all other subjects of public veal. None can better appreciate his views than the citizens on this frontier who entertain lively interest in regard to their exposed condition upon the Indian border. They are truths that come home to us The Indian country may through Texas be filled with British emissaries who can incite many of the tribes to dig up the tomahawk and again imbrue their hands i'll the blood of wo- men and children; and carry the terrors and horrors of savage warfare to the utmost Ii- mits of our sparsely. settled State. In the event of British influence in Texas, 1t would be place of refuge for our slaves, who with out the announcements would seek the shell ter and protection that would be given them in that country, for at this time they think there is the Canaan of the negro, and bgn- dreds annually run off from the settlements near the frontier Let England succeed in her commercial arrangements with Texas, and farewell to trade in New England manu- fectures--no army that our government would siaton upon the frontiers of Texas could prevent the introduction of British goods into the whole southern country. sIIeanrrAaE, TENNs July 8, Isii
