SlR:-In your editorial remarks on tho pro-
ceedinss Of the democratic meeting held IN 'h's
county on the 22d ut,, and which were publish
ed in The BANNER of the 81 inst, note the io!'
lowing:


"These proceedings were furnished to Major
Elias Rector by Mr.. McKenney. Secretary OF the
meeting, at his request; oxncsins. however, that
they should no, be published by him. and un del
his given promise no. to do so. Maj. Rector OBJ
,ained, took to Little Rock, and had them publish
ed" &c. e.. :.


Without intending to reflect upon YOU for
misunderstanding, which was doubtless unlntei
,iotal, deem il an act of justice to Maj. Rector
to state that no such promise wns ever exacted
Maj. Rector applied 10 me, as secretary oi inc
meeting. for a copy Of the proceedings which
furnished him, with the condition that they should
first be published in the lnteIisencer. Upon this
condition, Maj. Rector obtained the proceedings
took them ID Little Rock, and, after sufficient time
had elapsed for their publication in your paper,
they we're published in the Banner. Such was
the promise obtained Of Maj. Rector, and such my
representation Of ii 10 you-if no. in ipsisismi'
re,bis--in terms essentially the same.


THOS. MCKINNEY.
