 ter than was ever tho condition of any peo- ple under absolute legislative restraint, IS owinp entirely to oag having had more liberal, upright, and mercilul master, as we all acknowledge the government of ihe u. States has been.

 When we shall become a State, Arkan- sas will have as much power ili tho Senate as New-Yor Virginia, Pennsylvania, or any other State. And what have We lost m not having had Arkansas Senators ii1. at- tedance in the Senate chamber We have seen valuable part of our country ceded away 10 a foreign powerl We have seen part of our country. Of une&ampled ief- tility, forty miles wide, and strechlng from Missouri to Red River, given up for me purpose of locating the Indian tribes. H we had had Senators in Congress, neither eff these occurrences, m all Propdelii'y' would have happened. What has the na- ton lost by it Ne have seen two nomi- nations of foreign ministers rejected by the Senate, when the votes of the Afhan- sas Senators would have produced differ ent issue. We see an important seat on the bench of the Supreme Court yet Va cant, which would have been filled if Ar kansas had had her Senators in attendance, and had been truly represented. We have seen other things occurring III that body, too tedious to mention ln this report, calculated to embarrass the administration, because Arkansas had no voice therein.

 The election of Mir. Adams, in 1924, the vote of Arkansas, ii properly repre- scented, would have prevented. The tar if of '2S, the apple of dlscord which was we'll nigh disselying the Union, never would have been the law Of the land, if Arkansas could have spoken ill the Senate on that occasion. There may be again such trying scenes: every days debate III Congress may produce them.

 Ne hope for the passage of other pre- etnptlon laws-of having the price of land graduated and the vote of Arkansas, on such occasions, might be felt. Mr Clay's land-bill Is not yet dead-it only sleeps and Arkansas should have her Senators there, that when it shakes of its slumber, they may aid in strangling the monster. In the approaching contest, for the office of President and Vice President, it Is not probable that we are wholly indifferent spectators ane should the settlement of that question come into the House, tan event much to be deplored), the vote Of Arkansas, with single member, will be as potential as that of New York with her score. In 1901, when Jefferson and Burr were tied, upon tbirty-fiye ballotings, what would the old democrats of that day have given to have had Arkansas with them in their moments ofuneertainty? We answer, any thing, but alheir lives, their liberty, and sacred honor.o
