 Gen Byrd made aspeech at Searcy, White county, two or three weeks ago, in which he read the recom smendation of Gen. DREW, a candidate for Cover snor, Gas published in the Banner,) and commented with great bitterness, the names of the several ssiqners asserting that they were his personal ene mics. and eagued together for his destruction. He

 uther asserted that he expected to be essassaated abeiore he reached Little Rock and that he had re- ceved private letter, from this place, informing him that he would be attacked the North side of the River, Eec. This we learn from respectable citizen of Pulaski county, who was present and heard Byrd's speech.

 These statements of Byrd are not believed by any person here; and are regarded as only degree Hess ridiculous than Wellers complaint of conspi- tracy, the part of the prominent men of Arkansas sto put him down, As to any leaguing together ioi the destruction of Byrd, it has been already so com spietcly effected by himself together with his whg salies, that nothing is left for his opponents to do seyen if they wished it. The private letter, and the

 hreat of assassination believed to De of his own anvention True, he may have received letter in- Sformng him of threats against his life, for it s ru- mored about here that the other htsbaad Of his wife has made such threats and these he has, wilfay Enc doubt tortured into threats made by his political opponents. Such unprincipled conduct, on the par o Byrd for the purpose of raising the false cry of 3persecuton in perfect keeping with his peffdous 2 scharacter

 .qnoiher-The Times and Advocate, has stated { zthat Mir Geo W. Banes of Carrol county, (oae ol the signels of the letter recommending Gen. Drew) { Twas citizen of Louisiana. This is untrue. Mir Baines was citizen of Carol county, and his fam s fly were residing there at the time he signed the { letter, and may still be, for aught we know to the seontIary. He was making arrangements to remove Ito Louisiana but had not removcd and felt as much interest in our political affairs, and had as much

 fright to express his sentiments, as any other citizen sof the State.
