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.

 have heard of no democrat, who is op- posed to Gen. DREW. His vote in this coun- ty will equal that of YELL. ''Poh end Ddllas" is the watch word.

 Yours Sc. o. K.
