Tue .nats.-1he frequent failures of the mails have been but seldom noticed by us. because, until a late arrangement, we were always sure of receiving distant pa | pers, by some one Of the mails Chat did arrive. Now the failure of the Memphis Mail. cuts tts off from all intercourse wifh our distant friends, and leaves us nouebt with which to solace ourselves, but tho correspondence from tie lower Mississip- pi and from Missouri and Illinois.

 Such is onr present situation. On the last mail day there was a failure of the Memphis mail, and of the mail from the Bioull of White River-tbe two sources from which we now receive all our impor- tant papers. This will account for our lack of news from the city of Washington.

 Cot. Seaies''s .fitnaoaa Speech is so prolific source of comment, that we will be par doned by our friends for claiming their at tcntion, while We advert to the abuse cast upon Egbert Harris for being the bearer of the documents forW ard cd by Mr. Cum mns.

 The personal frepds of Col. Sevier will no doubt justify him in tho abuse cast upon RIr Harris, but Ii is not so certain t!.at the community of Arkansas will justify the delegate in his inyectiYcs against an indi- vidual, guilty of no offence.

 Il cannot be viewed, by the reneeting part of the community, as an offence to be the bearer of package from Arkansas 10 the city of Washington; neither could it be an offence to convey the charges and specifications made by respectable eiti- zen agaidst public officer, to the houses of Congress. The act could not attach crime to the bearer-neither could il In justice merit any censure--yet it has ap. pearcd to our delegate, 10 be an offence of such magnitude as to warrant him on fhe floor of Congress, to denounce Mr. Harris as a hired meaiaf. c StUiSS carrier, &tc. Such conduct may be deemed merc- toroas and parliamentary by some of Col. Sevier's friends, and will no doubt receive the applause of all who have received, or expect 10 receive office through his agen- cy, but t cannot be, that the enlightened community of Arkansas, will give coun- tenance to sacb proceedings; matters have truly come 70 high pass, when simple act of friendship must expose the person performing if, to denunciation, pardon able perhaps in grog shop, but degrading in the extreme, when uttered cn the floor of ress-degrading to the body before whom il was elivered-degradi to the people whose Representative has dared to abuse the trust committed to him, by such base and dastardiy conduct
