The Whig State Convention, which met in this city, in January last appointed Committee 10 make an "Address to the people of Arzansass.' This duly was performed by the Committee, by printing, in pamphlet form, the speech of Albert Pike, Esq, delivered before the Convention at of its night meetings; and then issuing it to the public as an {. Extra Arkansas Gazette" This last item-the '' extra, touch, was device to evade the payment of postage. Admirable device, indeed but rather too shallow to succeed We so pronounced it. at the time itseems that Mir. Hammond, the intelligent Post Master, at Jackson, took the same view of it; and submitted his own opinion to the decision of the General Post Office Department. His opinion was confrned as will be seen in the subioined letter. Upon the receipt of this letter, RTr. Hammond fur nished copy oft for the information of the Editor of the Gazette, with request that he would publish it. The Gazette having suppressed ifs publication, for what reason is not known, Mr. Hammond has forwarded us a copy, and requests us to publish it, in the Banner. We eheerlully do so:
