 Whereas, it is highly important to the peo- pie oi Arkansas that a man be elected at the next October election, to the office of Gov ernor, of known abilities and true republican principles, who will oppose uniting the Gen. eral Government with any bank, or monied institutions

 Reso1ced, That we have full confidence in the talents, integrity, and known republican principles of Gen. THOMAS s. DREW; and that we will support him as the peoples can didate, believing he will support and carry out the principles of the Democratic party.

 Resolred, That we regret to see that Gen. R. c. Byrd has suffered his name to be placed before the people, as we believe, by few lead ing Wings of the State, thereby endeavoring to divide the Democratic ranks it being the course by which the Wings expectto get into office. Then efore, as Gen. THOMAS S. DREW is, as we believe, the choice of the mass of the Democratic party of Arkansas, as the Demo- cratic candidate for the office of Chief Maqis trate, we recommend the friends of the party. throug lout the State, at once to unite on him, Whiggery will then be defunct, and victory will be ours.

 Resolced, That we recommend to the party in every pat of the State union, concert, and harmony; and we declare our opinion that whoever attempts to produce dissensions in our party, be the means or pretexts what they may, Is an enemy; and ought to be discoun- tenanced and treated as such

 ResolUed, That we arc in favor of the iaa- mediate anneratioa of TEXAS to the United States; and believe that, among other reasons, 1t Is measure of self-preseryation to many of the States, and particularly 10 the southern and western States; and also that 1t is the true policy of the whole Union.
