HELENA, Arkansas, August 6h, I844. Dr. ;. RoRLAND-DEAR SIR: On Saturday last the Democrats of this county held ; meeting for the purpose of responding to tho nomination for Governor, recently made il different parts of the State; and although we had but tbrce days notice, t was the larges jcolleetlon of Democrats have ever witness jed in the county. After the organization oI lthe meeting, the committee, Sixteen in num- ber,) which had been appointed for that pur- bose, after short absence, reported series |of resolutions, cordially approving ol tie no animation of Gen. Thomas s. Drew, as oui Icandidate for Governor, which were unani- |mopsly adopted by the meeting. After the Iadoptlon of the reports of the committee Judge Tollison addressed the meeting with hls accustomed eloquence and ability, in . speech of some half hours length Aflei he had concluded, inyoluntarlly looked around and listenedfor the usual call of tsCol IHanly,o But To! ssthe danqb eloquenee of numbers" was arrayed against him-hs .spo- litlcal armo is sunk into the oblivion of his Wh(g nomination, there to smother, and smo- |thering to rot, and rise no more.''

 Gen. Byrd was here on the 1th of July, land, as am informed, attempted to make ( speech; but his hearers numbered only abou l5 or 20, and some 10 or 12 of them were

 Whgs from hc State of .NissiSsippi,

 'phe truth is, sir, have not heard of but len Byrd men" in~tlds county, and five ol them are whigs, four of them arc "Tylel men," and one (doubtful) democrat, and 1t Is my opinion that if the political Hyena of the 'sFimes and Advocate" would send each of them copy of his filthy sheet, from now until the election, Gen. Byrd would not gel "a single vote in this county.

 Yours, truly,
