r,.IcRATToN 10 ARKANsAs.
We have hitherto neglected to notice the vast tide of emigration which has been flowing into the Territory during the pre- sent year. It is subject of deep interest to our fellow citizens, and of no small in- teresf to the citizens of distant, as well as neighboring states.

 The emigration to the Territory, since the first of December last, has been greater than for the last three years; not only is every Steamboat crowded with cabin and deck passengers, but the roads also are lined with wagons, conveying families to the Eden Of Arkansas-as 1t is considered abroad-the counties of Washington and Crawford.

 Tn addition to this host ef actual ernieg5ra- tion, there are numerous parties of gentle men from almost every state south of Ma ryland. who have come to view the country preparatory to removing their families- and should they, on their return, make a favorable representation, many of their neighbors are ready to accompany them.

 It is deeply to be deprecated, by the ci- tizens of this place, that the Quapaw lands, in our vicinity, have not been surveyed with sufficient correctness, to admit of their being brought into market. Were they at tainable, they would be immediately occu- pied by wealthy planters.

 The present unexampled influx of popu- lation, points us to a period, not far distant, when our relation to the G General Govern ment, will be very different from what it is at present-when Arkansas shall be hailed as one of the independent communities of the Nation--when we will be able to show the General Government, that we have men, who are as capable, and will ill cur offices with as much dignity to themselves, and honor to the country, as those sent from neighboring states.
