which Webster is Chasman, with power 10 send for persons and papers. Then we shall hass inc statement, on oath, sot Mr Duane, snd those of certain printers and brokers, ard we shall get at the truth ol ihe matter Webster ia eoolly preparing the way for his speech, which is already prom 1 ised, and which we 'an1ioasly look for.

 Among oiler items, you will observe that inc 5ili for allowing Arkansas 10 form a Constitution and State Government, has been read mice and referred to Select Committee lge anticipate a fayorab!ere- hort Ne .ount upon Grundy and Porter with certairy. 'iig,ttoil and Ewing Vill be in favor of admitting Michigan, and they can hardIyobiect to us, while they admit her. Naulain is an eastern man, and wiii probably b, opposed to us. On the whole we believethat the bill will pass.

 You will observe that there has been moyenen made towards giving each new state Vt,eh ila. received no donations ot land for purposes of internal improvement, . quantity equal to that which each of the older States has received for those parPo- ses. Ii, tais should be done, 1t vii 'st otioe remove one of the only two objections to our becoming a State. It should be re- men1ber9d. since VIC have touched ti.is sub iect, that so soon as tie dilainulion ol reye- nue, prodacedby the reduction of the ta- riff, begins to operate, appropriations in

 money will almost entirely cease. The President doabted, in his last annual mes sage, whether there would be any more mo ney received this year than viii be actually needed, and he recommended economy for that reason. The General Government has been liberal, because tlle Treasury was oyerlloWine, but with tlle reduction of the tariff, the Treasury wiil cease to overflow. We may soon look no longer for appropria- lions.

 Why does the Editor of the Gazette say that every ssfecliag man would wish us to continue as Territory some years longer Does he mean that We shall be iaisred hy forthwith becoming . state-by emerging from vassalage to independence-ffor the cradle to tnanhood7 Or does he mean that every man who has hitherto denounced his opponents for adyisiaga State Government, who has made t principal weapon in electioaeering warfare, should rs9eet, be- fore, without a single reason more than he had two years age, he gives the lie to his own arguments and zopinions. ~e.sa ! ..is-;'-'' the merit of a measure to which he has ev- CT been opposed. If he mean the latter, we agree with him. Ne agree that he should reflect, and invent some spacious reasoning to prove how a political somerset l is no. somerset at all. But if he mean the former, why docs he advocate the measure! The crisis .is certainly favorable 10 us, but if we are to be injuredby becoming State, it is only favorable opportunity for US to receive aa injury. Or are there any per sonal motives which induce Alr. sevier to bring forward the measure, and inc Gazette to support him in so doing? We were sur- prised at the paragraph, because t seemed to intimate that the Gazette has some con sciencious scruples against thoroughly ap- proving the measure.

 There is at least one portion of this Ter ritory, to which our becoming State must be of inealculable benefit. There is no country which offers to the cotton grower such advantages, as will De oaofed by the country on Red river, whenever the nayi- gation of that stream shall be feed from obstfuetions. The men who are to people that country, aIe the men who are to pay the most tax into our Treasury. The rich planters from the South,.who will not emi- grate to Territory, will flock into new, great, and growing State.

 IAe General Post Office Department has borrowed, t seems, about S4oo, ,o0o.- It IS also asserted, on good evidence, that t is ia debt to contractors throughout the United States, about half a million; making the sum of $oOo,ooo, for which it is insol- vent. Nc would fain Have hoped that the ease wasnot so bad, but we have been re- luciantly forced to agree that it is so.-
