 February 1874, 1916.

 MR. EDIroR:-ln the last number of the Banner, have noticed a communications purporting 10 have been written at Batesville, signed Boreas. This communication, so far as have any knowledge of the feelings of the people, does not speak the sentiments of ths section of the State. It is true, the North would have been gratfed, had she been favored with the nominee-a man whose interest and feelings were identified with hers. But, sir, we are Democrats;- and, as such, it is our duty to submit to the decision of majority of the Convention. l answer, we do; and we will exert ourselves in the discharge of that duty, most cordially, in the ensuing election.

 Without wheeling, juggling, or trick, we were beaten-fairly beaten-in the Conyen- ven!ion; if beating ourselves, can be said to be fair play. Had we been united as we should have been, we might have succeeded; but we were divided among ourselves, and the consequence is upon us. We are beat en, and have no one to blame but ourselves.

 In the plain-dealing North, Col Johnson, the Democratic candidate for Congress, will be most cordially welcomed, whenever it may suit his convenience to visit Us; aud he will be heartily and zealously supported at the ballot box.

 Our circuit court is still in session, but will adjourn some time this week. Several Bank cases have been decided, an believe every case was decided against the Bank If this is the case with the other Branches of the Bank, i looks like slim chance for Ar kansas. Defeat the Bank in the collection of her debts, and would like to know how the State is ever to pay the heavy debt that hangs over her?-the payment of which, must be met with debts due the institution itself. If you could be at one of our courts, yop would think that a very large majority of the people in attendance were opposed to the collection of d Eed cent by the Bank,- and in favor of destroying the books, papers &c.; or, in the language of many, .sblot out and commence auew.n Some have even gone so far as to propose to burn the whole establishment

 His Exc'y, Gov, Drew, passed through our county d few days since, on his way to Lawrence or Randolph county, leaving, by lie way, an appointment for Mir. Bevens, as Financial Receiver of the Baesvile Bank.-- How does it happen that Wings obtain office at the hands of Democratic Governor?- It is true, the Governor rendered the ap- pointment to Henry Neill, Esq; but there were many well-tried democrats in this and the adjoining conntes, that would have ac- cepted the appointment; men, too, that are in every way equally qualified, and, in one respect, at least, far superior to Mr. Bevens he being all entire stranger 10 the people.

 However, the appointment is perfectly satisfactory to the Bank debtors. '

 A DEMOCRAT.
