Col. Sevier says in his Circular, that we have "a battle to fight with fanaticism, to gain our entrance into the Union. He has been called on by one of his old and tried friends to explain himself, and has attempted to do so.

 If he meant that any portion of the citizens of this Territory would make fanatical oppo- siton to our entrance into the Union as slave State, we trust he is mistaken. It can not certainly be supposed that it is for the in terests of Arkansas to become free State Surrounded, as we should be, by Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and the Indian tribes, all of them slave conn., tries, our State would become the land ofre- fuge for runaways and vagabonds. Beside this, our revenue is to be raised from, and our rich lands settled by, the slave holders

 If he meant that fanaticism abroad would oppose and thwart our efforts and hamper our prosperity-he does tot betiere d. He knows, if he knows any thing, that wherever the Alp olition flag has been hoisted at public meet ings, in the free States of the North, 1t has been trampled contemptuously under foot. He knows that the spirit of Additional fana- tlcism has no resting place there-that the few men who fan the flame are discontented, nnquiet beings, who chose their incendiary employment as he did who burnt the temple of Diana at Ephesus-to win themselves mo- .tice.

 But will the Colonel inform us of whom he is so grevopsly afraid. Will not New York be one of our enemies? The Delegate Is a good Van Buren man, for it is probable that Richard NJ. Johnson will be nominated by the Convention for Vice President. Has the Ethiopian, then, changed his dye! Has Van Buren become friend to the slave States! If ever we have battle to fight with fanati- cism, Van Buren will be in the front against ns The Colonel's fears are eleetioneering .fears-and he forgot that Van Buren had op- posed the admission of Missouri.
