Under this head. the Editor of the Gazette, in the last number of that pa- per, has taken much pains to impress on the public mind the belief, that s'to the industry and talents" of Mir. Seyier, are the people of Arkansas indebted for the passage of the pre-emption law. That Col. Seyier was the 'soriginator and fa- ther'' of this law, we deny, and in doing so, it is not our wish, in the slightest de- gree, to "rob him of any merit' justly his due.

 The fact and truth is, that this law was introduced in the Senate of the U. States, by Mir. MCKINLEY, of Alabama, and by his .sunremit,ed exertions" alone, was it carried through both Houses of Congress, and to him are the people in- debted for it's passage, and not to MT. Sevier. This fact s!cannot be denied' by those who have paid any attention to the deliberations of Congress for the few last years. This law was always consid- cred and admitted, (until now,) to be an Alabama measure, the 'simportant privi- ieges" of which, were of :. general na- turc, and extended equally, to other States and Territories, as well as to  Arkansas.

 In noticing this fact, as we have above stated, we disclaim the remotest wish to pluck q single laurel from Col. Sevier's brow, but merely to put the unsuspect. ing portion ofour citizens on ntheir guard, against the ''electioneeraag tricks" of the Editor of the Gazette.

 We would, in conclusion, advise Buck Woodruff hereafter ''to render unto Ca- ear what are Casar's, and to God what are God's," and no more. He has here tofore been successful in passing ofbase coin upon thespeople, without being de- tected and exposed. But that day has passed, and the People naast and shall know the TRUTH.
