LITTLE Rock, Oet. IL, iS44 Dn. BoRIANp;-

 !Sa-lu the Banner of the 9th am charged with improperly interfering in the election held al this place on the preceding Monday. The charge, have no doubt, was made under mlzapprohension of the facts and is wholly unfounded and untrue l did vote at the election; but did not, i'll any in- stance, either on the day of the election or previously, that am aware of, express my opinion as 10 the law governing the right oi any class of persons 10 vote, either to, or in the presence of, any judge of said eleclion-- or to any other person, with view Co influ- euce the judges 10 admit, or reject, the vote o9 any person, or class of persons.

 lis true, that have entertained, and be- lieve expres sed, casually, in private ccAyeesa- tioh. once, (perhaps more than once,) the opinion attributed to me, by Col. Merriek, in his letter of the l2th inst, written in answer to note ol the same date, addressed by me, to the judges of the election, held at the mar ket-housc precinct, in this city.

 The conversation to which I allude, in which my impressions as to the proof, re- Quisite 10 be produced al the polls, by Ha- iuralizedf foreigner, and upon whiehhe should, as conceived, be admitted to vote, trans pired in the law office of Messrs. Ashley x Watkins, a week or two before the election, and according to my recollection, was parti- cipated in by C. P Bertrand, G. C. Watkins, Esqs., and Judge \. Smith

 In this regard, the conversation was cas- nSl. and mv opinion was stated. in response to suggestion, made by some one present, with no uIlefiof object whatever.

 In regard to the State election, l have nei- ther directly Or indirectly, endeaFored to in- Auence any person 10 vote; nor 10 vote for, or against, any one or moreof the oa9dida.e#. As this charge has ssa ea3a .hrouah ae Banner as an act # iastiee s.mple, a- quest the publication 6f tzi- statement, ta- gether with the nc ose1 eorres saoadeHee. ia the next nmohef of yae papes
