To tfe Editor ot thlse .44duocatc:

 DEAR SiR-En my letter to you of the lst inst. ] examined what l conceived to be the only objections that could possibly weigh with the people of Arkansas against State Corernmcat at the present time; and I believe that whosoever will take a consider ate view of the subject, will be as fully con yinced as l am, that the objections are slight and trivial, when compared with the benefits that would result from our admis- sion into the Union as a Free and Isdepea- dent St0}e.

 The payment of the salaries of our Ju- dicial and Executive officers by the parent Government, can only be reconciled, poiti- cally, by the word necessity, which has ever been. a mar 10 freedom. If we look to the state of the American Colonies previous to the Revolution, we find that the paymentof the salaries of their Judicial officers by the parent Government, was a cause of alarm to the Colonists, and believed 10 endanger their civil liberty. The appropriations or oratuities in money, that we have received from the United States, have been found very convenient and useful for present pur- poses, and they have produced g sound pe- hculiarly pleasing to the public ear; but 1t cannot be doubted that their continuance for any length of time would have a deleterious effect on Our body polite, and demorali- zino tendency with individuals, and that public spirit, so highly essential to our ad- 1 yancement, would soon be paralyzed.--- Where roads are required to connect impor-

 fl,,N xrh strength and resources of the vicinity are confessedy adequate to the task, instead ol doing 1t themselves, the opening of them

 will be looked on as equally matter oi

 nuhlic concernment with other roads that

 have been opened by the United States

 and an appropriation must be asked of Con

 press for the purpose. Should the roads

 onened by the United States (as Is now the case) need repairs, they will be suffered to become impossible, waiting an approPria lion for the purpose, and so on cd tntt'a | tum--the more granted, the more expected

 and asked for. Would it not be more desi

 rab,e to us, to enter the Union at once, al an independent State, and so receive, al

 we undoubtedly woaid, portion ot tn

 nuhlic lands for internal improvements, thai : to remain in our present state of vassalage n and continue this system of mendiety, s.

 well calculated to paralyze the public splrl :, and enterprise of our citizens, and to cor .r,pt the public manners, by that obseaulou, d and md servile sycophsney which usually ioi 10 Il la.ss M .the honored few who distribute tn

 , money and official patronage of the Genei I, al Government. ba,. h 4 favorable juncture appears to hay ], now arrived for us to gam admlssoii mo u, m r Union. If we neglect the opportunl'y, z, " V e may. perhaps, have to renaln under a . q Y r;tor;al Government twenty years longer | however long the lime may be- we can 100 ' > forward to it alone, as the true perio -el whence we may safely date our fise 'o
