Intelligence, which is to be inFey relied or. re- ccivedrom almost every portion the state assures rs that the prospects of Gen DRnw arc most cheer ing, and every day improving.

 The impression has been sought 10 be made by the Wings and their di5oTgaaizihs allies, that Gen. DREW could not unite and concentrate the Demo cratic strength This isaltcgether false. He untes

 the party and with the exception Of few counties

 in which he is personally unknown, he will receive the same vote as Gov. YELL, And even in those counties where there is least union, he will still re- ceigc very large majority of the Democratic votes

 We confidently assert that Byrd will not get 200 Democratic votes in ali that portion of the State

 lying south of the Arkansas river and not 100 in the range of counties between this city, and the Texas line That he will get some IVbig yotes We have no doubt lis friends say he will get 1000 Whg votes Ifso, he will be voted for almost exclusively by Whigs. This ought to be SO; for he is their can didate--eneomased employed, and hired by them to run.

 Gen. DREw is actively engaged in the canvass , making the most of the short time afforded him be- fore the election Our latest accounts of him, are to the 10th instant The day before. he had made speech at searcy, White county, in reply to 1H5. Bhers the Whig candidate for elector; in which, although he had but an hour to reply to d speech tolp honrs aad haf long, he used poor BYers as to make hu afraid of another encounter In this debate, the characteristic unfirness and tricey of Whigsin in general, ane of Mr BFers in particular. were strongly exhibited Il was understood that there would be q fair debate between Gen. Drew and Mir. Byers flr Byer opened the discussion at one o'clock, azd spoke, without intcnnission, t6ar hours and half Before, and by the time he had closed about half the audience, Cred out left the ground. Itwas, now, sonoar night, that Gen. DREW could only speak about hour, and to only half the audience at first assembled. Mir. Byers occupied almost his whole speech in advocating Natona! Bank, praising Henry Clay and abusing Mir. Van Buren, The truth is, all thi3 had been stereoyped, and furnished him, before Mr. Folks nomination, andIle has hot yet learned any thing else 10 say He intirely forgot the Fa and did not discuss the Texas question, although he consumed f6Rr hours and C haJ. It was evident that he spoke so long to deprive Gen. DnEw of the lime to reply to him But in the short hour left, the General met every point, and answered every argument he had atempi- SQ tp itrN tNi to tlG li9l 7'ttlaittiol oE every Democrat present.

 Prior to speaking at scorcy, Gen. DaEw Lad ad- dressed respectable assemblase of the people al Rich Woods, in Izard county; from whence he pas sed through Van Buren county, making appoint ments to return and speak at some two or three places in that county. After speaking, on the 9th at searcy, he left for soorcy county, and Carrol county; and expected 10 malle speech at Carol ion on last Monday, the l6th From Carroiton. he expected to proceed rapidly to the west and visit the most, fnot all, of thc western counties.

 Wherever he goes, he viii receive warm and hearty welcome by the true Democracy. and he will well repay the welcome, by the good service he will render to our noble cause. He will probably, not return home until after the election; and then he will return, in triumph as GOVERNOR or ARKANsAs.
