enjoyed enough of the blessings of Texas, ana that poor man has no business here.n NoW' this IS, to say the least oft, ridiculous and absurd, for it is notorious fact that

 eXaS presents more advantages to the poor man than any State in the Union. Then hp says ''the water IS bad and land all taken up'' Here ne IS most egregiously mistaken. The water IS as good (generalIy) as any portion oi Arkansas; and as to the land being all taken uP-there IS perhaps as much vacant and unapProPrated in Texas as the whole of AfhahSaS put togelher-not only this, but large portion of her choicest Lands arc vet vacant

 lie says again, "thc poor man must rent at hIgh rates Ill Texas, while he can settle on land m Arkansas, if he has not dollar. and make ilvlng by work" Now if this was reversed It would sound something like req sohable' for assure you poor man can come nearer Ii"ing without worl k here than in any country have ever seen. Hear him again: 'LXcept the Rio Grande, there is no stream lhat Will do Tor navigation; and Arkansas Is aeeldedly better cotton country than any portion of Texas west of the Brazos.n These iastassertIons are entirely without foundation. The Trinity, Brazos and Colorado, are all in loiefably good boating order now, and with very little work can be navgated nine months m the year, and as 10 Arkansas benr better cotton country than Texas, 1t is the strangest Idea ca ever heard advanced by farmer, and will mention fact for the benefit of those that may be disposed to credit this idle tale. Col. White, farmer in this vicinity, gathered four thousand pounds 1000 lbs. per acre he had in l50 acres. This is notmore than an average crop, and the crops west are equally good. But Mr.. 0 closes his extraordinary let ter by advising his Saline friends to stay where they are. Well, have some Saline friends too, and would advise them if they are well fix ed and settled, to stay where they are, but if not, to move to Texas immediately.

 l wish nothing that l have said above to be construed to the discredit of Arkansas-I only wished to vindicate Texas.

 Respectfully &c, UGH.
