Our readers will find in another column, the proceedings ofthe public meeting held in this place on Saturday last, for the purpose of considering the question of State Govern ment. The meeting was large and respecta- ble-and after discussion of the question, whether the resolutions offered by Col. Chil- dress should be passed, the question was call ed for, and only four voices were heard in the negative. 4 division was called for, and some ten or twelve were found to compose the lean minority.

 At the request of several of our friends, Col. 4. FOWLER has reduced to writing his able and patriotic speech, al handed it to us for publication. We regret extremely that the press of original matter in this weeks paper will exclude it, but 1t shall ap- pear in our next.

 We earnestly hope that the citizens ofeaeh county in the Territory will go forward in this matter, that an application, backed by the strongly expressed sentiments of the peo- pie, may be made to Congress at their next session.
