Meeting of the Democracy at Pine

in large numbers. A pole was erected in the center of the town, from which foated the stars and stripes of the Union. At the foot of the Iole, the brass band from this city, who were in attendance upon the occasion, played seve- ral national and soul-stirring tunes, when the procession was formed, with the band at its head. and marched through the town to the place prepared for the speaking where the meeting was organized by the election of ex. Gov. RoANE as the President The meeting was thea adjourned until Gen. Yell, who was speaking close by, got through After Yell had finished his Know Nothing speech, the democracy again responded to the music of the band, and assembled in large pumbers around the stand prepared for the democratic party.
 Gov. RoANE was then called upon for a speech: and replied in all effort that was highly creditable to him. He reviewed all the issues between the democratic and Know Nothing parties with great ability, and showed to the company present. more than conclusively, that the existence and continuation of the Amer- can Union depended solely upon the success of the democratic party in the next Presidential election. The whig party was dead and the Know Nothing party was rent asunder into two factions north and south. The demo- cratic party was, therefore, the only organiza- ton that pretended to claim national existence. If, therefore, it failed to give to the republic the next President, an aboitionist would be elected
 The democratic convention was not organized until late in the evening" and Gov. RoANE oc- cupied the remainder of the day His speech Was an excellent one, and was we'll received and heartily responded to by the democrats as- sembled.
 At night Messrs. GALLAGHER and LUcKIE addressed the people at the court house. We were not present, as We left town about sun- down, but were told that both of these gentle men made very happy efforts. They spoke to large audiences, and came up fully to the high expectations which their we'll known talents and powers of oratorv had excited in the public mind
 On Tuesday, the 9th inst, the democracy were again assembled by the excellent music of the brass band to listen to the speech of Mir. COMPTON, of Dallas county. He spoke for two hours, and made as fine an argumentative speech as we ever had the pleasure of listening to-. He stepped but seldom out of his way to gather flower; he confined himself closely to his text, and in manner and with force, that carried conviction to the hearts and minds of every one present. He rave universal satisfaction. We shall not try 10 follow him. It is impossible ; to do so in the space we have to-day. Mir. COMPTON Is yet young man, but with his talents, his sincerely of purpose, his bollness and decision he is destined to take very high stand at the bar of Arkansas, and, if he chooses to embark in politics, proud position in the democratic party.
 After Mir. COMPTON had concluded, the meet ing adjourned for dim r. In the afteruoou Col. WARREN spoke. He delivered one of his usual agreeable and effective speeches -dispos- ing of poor Sam in the most summary manner He boldly asserted that Sam, when he got the power, as he did last winter in our Legislature. shrank from carrying out the principles that he was so busly engaged now in disseminating among the people. Every body knows that the Legislature of Arkansas has the unlim;tcl and exclusive right to determine the qualifca- tions of voters in the State, and yet Sam, though he had a large majority iu our last General Assembly, failed entirely to enact laws extend ing the time foreigners are required to remain in the State before being entitled to vote.
 From this fact he boldly charged upon the Know Nothing party, a want of sincerity in their professions. Why did they not carry out their doctrine last winter? Was it not because they shrank from the consequences of line of policy so pernicious?
 Col. Warren's speech told with great effect upon the large crowd assembled to hear him.
 The 9th and 9th were glorious days for the democracy of Jefferson county Seed were sown there which will spring up bloom and rpen into fruit, while Know Nottingham, al- ready on the wane, will soon die and disappear
 Many other speakers were present, but the time was not sufficient to hear them all Robt. w. Johnson was upon the ground, in attend ance for the purpose of replying to the speech of Gen. Yell, in the event the charges and at- Jacks made by Gen. Yell in other counties had been repeated against him on that occasion.- But as the General saw proper to pass him by in silence, without any allusion whatever, he deemed 1t unnecessary to make speech. His health was not good and it would have been with difficulty that he could have sustained the effort
 We cannotconclude this article without some allusion to the services of the brass band, con- posed entirely ot naturalized citizens, who were in attendance upon the occasion. The music they gave Us was appropriate and excellent and added largely to the interest and pleasures of the meeting. They deserve the thanks of the democracy for their presence and their efforts to please.
