 DR. BoRLAND Sir: have just been ia vored with an opportunity of the perusal of the s'Arkansas Gazette," in which I find a partial statement of the proceedings of great whig meeting, held in Benton county. 1 must confess Sir, that was somewhat aston- ished, when discovered that they had back ed out from publishing what they adopted on that occasion. In former communica- ton to the Banner, stated fully the proceed ings of the meeting. Why is it that they have withheld from the public eye, all that they did before the people of Benton county 3- That part of the preamble and resolutions in which they declared that the Democratic party were composed of the fragments of ev- cry party that had ever existed in the United States, has been suppressed. The resolution in which they declared their political princi- pies has also been withheld, together with the declaration, that the Democracy had devised the plan by which the Real Estate Bank was brought into existence. We are only left to infer that their brother whigs would not concur with them in their po- litical creed, or that they were ashamed of what they had done, and after the meeting

 

 GUS and concluded that 1t was perhaps better to strike out portion of their proceedings.

 Will any of the performers of the farce, tell us why the proceedings of the whig meeting, in Benton county. have been thus suppressed, or will any of them undertake to say, that the entire report of the committee appointed to draft a preamble and resolutions, expressive of the sense of the meeting has been published according to the public re- solve of the meeting2 If they do, challenge the actors, or any of the officers of the meet ing to produce the original manuscript and repor; of the committee, before alluded to, which, when produced, will determine the issue, provided one should be tendered. In conclusion, must confess, that 1t was good policy in those wire workers to withhold from the public eye, the entire proceedings. for fear they might incur the displeasure oI some of their leading tariff candidates for of flee. Yours. truly,

 BEATTIE'S PRAIRIE
