tae laiad ahd erect the house on flt. same. considered this donation eana} 10 S3,UOo, ahd a fair sale of the land would have produced something like $l2,UOO, at the lowest possible price and built a splendid house for ArEan sas. Ihls last proposition did ardent. y hope the Legislature might aceeaa to. 1t was ene l deemed tie most aa vantageous 10 the country, and of gas. importance 10 Little Rock. Here vas a donation Of six valuable lots, wortl, as the lowest possible estimate, S3,CCo. im a very desirable part of the town offer. ed to the Legislature, for the use oftl,a Territory,in fee simple, upon which ;s splendid house could have been eree. ted from the proceeds of the lands without, perhaps, drawing upon tho Territorial or National Treasury for another dollar. Cur own meckanics would have found employment, and our. town vastly improved. felt, as be- fore remarked, great soiieitude for the. success of this arrangement, ard toot -an active part in pushing il forward. and felt no little modification upon

 learning its fate in the Legislature. therefore rationally concluded, as moss men did, that the friefds of Mir. Cnt tenden, who were in the Lesislature. had determined 10 make the exchange with him, and him alone-and the 1e. Fsu1tis with the public.

 Arkansas, again repeat, was frank and undisguised, and every thing said or done by me, was prompted by the best motives. It is sufficient now to say. that did disapproyc ofthe plan of giys ls

 ig the lands for Mr. Crittenden's. house, when l learned the probable value of the land, and considered inc subsequent donation olsix valuable lots proposed to be made 10 the Tcrritor.. V hat part Mr. (. took in this mat ter, is with others as we'll as myself; he wished to make safe Of his house and lots to the Territory, and feel no wish OF inclination 10 arraign him for it.-- But for the unnecessary introduction of my name in the communication, 1would never have troubled the public on the subject.
