i Y" " in the last Gazette, Is like lawyers speech, al on one side. Well, since "X. Y" has but showr the miserable condition into whck sdcmocracy" has brought the State, why did hot the editor, as tht

 trusted sentinel of that democracy" give the othel side? Or did he try, and find ''rHAT THERE WAS For ONE SIDE to the question discussed

 That is all on one side, again, neighbor It will be evident to any imparti, person, wa think, who will take the trouble to read tie article from "A' l.. that il dees not exlb shc trle condition Of the State That's. any one acquainted hertrue condition 4a t is ye4 certain that tla condition oi the State, however miserable it may be, is not chargeabe upon the aemcoYacy than upon whiggefy

 Is to the rstpoint says taat the Treasurer win be compelled to issue his warrants, or Stata scrip for some sSo,o00 during the present and fol- low year. and that this scrip will dapreciate be- low Arkansas Bank paper. This. We learn from conversation with the Treasurer, is great mistake. He has promised us a communication on the subject to put this matter right. We understood him to say that the current expenses of the present year would notexceed S30 000 and that the revenue of the State arising from the tax, and the debt which the Inter- nal Improvement fund owes. and will be paying her during the year. as he lands sold, andmoney col- lsced for them, would amount to that sum. So that all the scrip issued for the present year. will be deemed part of it before and the balance after the tax revenue comes in; and there need be no depre- ciation of the State scrip issued for the expenses o the present year. As to the receipts of the next year, aal the amount Of scrip that may have to be issued il may be better asceranpd after thereycnue of tba present year comes in. and the amount is known.

 Bal, sags oar neishbor the democfacghts brought our State into its present miserable coaaai0a What does he mean by mjsera6ie condition? He means. of course, that the State owes large amount of bonls tltat she is not able to pay at this time. For what purpose were these bonds made, and sold To establish Banks, and food the State with papsrs currency: Who were the prime movers in getting mp the Banks? Did not the Democracy alone char ter them No, sir. A distinguished Whig was the prime mover in establishing them. Almost every Whig in the Legislature at the time they were char tered alyoeated,and voted for them While number ofDemocrats voted against them. The factis it was great error into which almost the entire people of the State ran without reference to party. Wings and Democrats chart d thcm-Hhigs and Democrats
