JUDGE CRoss-We have pleasure in laying be- fore our readers the suboined extracts of letters, which We have recently received iron the Hon.. EDw CRoss.

 The confidence which Judge CRoss Expresses, in the sustaining approval of his constituents, of the course he pursued in the Baltimore Convention, is not misplaced There is no doubt that he has in this, as in his course generally, and particularly on the Texas question: executed the will, and gratied the wishes, of the people of Arkansas; and he may rest assured that they will lose no opportunity of giving him the strongest evidence of their confidence and affection

 The Judge was disappointed in the hope express ed that Mr. Benton would not propose his Bill inre laGon to Texas. It will be seen, ihanother column, that the Bill has been proposed If passed, the ef feet must be such as Judge Cross anticipates. But it surely is impossible for such Bill to pass.

 HousE OF REPRESENTATIVES, June 7th, I8l4.

 My DEAR SrR:-You will have seen that Col Sevier, Gov Fulton and myself attended the Nation al Convention, and partcipatedin its proceedings. We were constrained to do so or leave the State un- represented at ar important crisis nthe affairs of the country. The success, or indeed even the prospect of success as it seemed to us, of republican prnci pes as held by the democratic party, turned upon the action of the Convention. And after the publi- cation of Mir. Van Burens letter, no time was left to refer the subject of his nomination to the people of our distant section of the Union The ground he assumed in reference to annexation was in substance the same previously taken by Mir. Clay, and at va riance with our own, and, as We believed, with the views of those who had chosen 10 represent them Few, if any, believed that Mir. Van Buren, if nomi- hated, could get the entire vote of the democratic party, or by possibility be elected; tlius presenting the alternative of his abandonment or the prosraon of principles deemed material to the interests of the country. Such being the firm conviction on our minds, we did not hesitate as to the course proper for us to pursue; and promptly obey ed what we conceived to be the dictates of dutY in the emergency presented. That our course will be sustained by intelligent generous and patriotic constituents, have no fears. X different one am sure, would have subjected us to their censure and condemnation.

 Gov. Polk is a man of unblemished moral charac- ter of the highest order of intellect finished schol- ar, statesman and consistent republican in his principles. His nomination was unanimous; and. am happy to add, was received by our friends with enthusiasm, throughout the country. The prospect of his success is most cheering So fur as the nelc States ore concerned, he has sustained upon every occasion, when called upon 10 vote, thef taroriie measures of pre-emption rights aud graduation of the price of tte public lands.

 The Texas treaty will, in all probability be dis posed of during the present week. We shall ad- journ the l7th inst and soon after this reaches you, hope to be in your place, on my way home
