 At large and respectable meeting of the democrats of Saline county, at the Court house, in the town of Benton, on Saturday, the 25th day of Nov. 1S43, Tho's Pack was called to the Chair, and Finis Leech appoint ed Secretary The object of the meeting was explained by David c. White. The fol- lowing preamble and resolutions were intro duced:

 Whereas, the Democratic State Convention IS about to meet at the city of Little Rock, for the purpose of nominating suitable candi- dates for Governor, member of Congress, and electors, to vote for President and Vice President of the State. And, whereas, in the opinion of this meeting, the success of the democratic cause in this State, materially de- bends upon wise, prudent, and iudicious selection of candidates. The nominations should be conferred on men who are both able and willing to enter the coming canvass with zeal and ability, not relying on the strength of the party for success, but who will elevate the cause by publicly meeting, exposing, and eontesting every inch of ground which will be taken by their subtle opponents.

 Therefore, resolred, that we have the highest confidence in the intelligence, ener- gy, and patriotism, of our fellow-citizen, the Hon. Charles Caldwell; and do hereby, re- spectfully recommend him to the considera- ton of the convention, as suitable candi- date for Governor. In him the agriculturist, and the laboring classes would have an abi- ding friend, and strong advocate; one who is good practical farmer, wholly uncon- nected with banking influences, bankingpreju- dices, agencies, and offices; one in whose high order of talents in debate the cause of democracy and the principles of the govern ment would be ably maintained and happily defended against all tic federal sllaH aheHt Protective Tariff, United States Bank, and other mischievous and deceptive coon skin projects.

 Which were unanimously adopted.

 Resolued, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Sec retary, and forwarded to the Arkansas Ban- ner for publication.

 THO's PACK, Chairman

 FINIs LEIGH, Secretory.
