COMMUNICATION.

As Commissioner King has impugned the rep
utation of a gentleman, who has hitherto sus-
tanned most reputable rank in society, and de-
clared him wanting both in character and vera
city, it is meet and proper, that we enquire
wherein this lack of moral rectitude has been
manifested.
First, we would ask the Commissioner If Gen
eral Richardson, the person accused, while a
member of the Massachusetts Legislature, ever
fraudulently sold his vote and influence for a
quantity of wild lands in favor ola measure pre-
viously opposed bv him, and whereby. in consc-
quence, certain individuals were released from
heavy forfeitures, and the state deprived of
large sum of money to which it was legally en-
titled
Secondly, did General Richardson. during en-
bargoes, non-intercourses, &c. while their pro-
tessed advocate, openly violate these laws. in
most of his commercial specnlations, whereby
false cnstom-house entries became indispensable.

ARKANSAS.

An interesting g Journal Of Travels into the
Arkansas Territory, during the years 1819,"
&C. by ThoEas INITIAL, member of the Lin
nasan, and other Societies, has recently been
published The following extracts respecting
the territory over which one of orr worthy
fcow-citizcns presides, are worth notice -
" On the 18th January, 1920, we again ar
rived at the post of Osarf, or as IT is now not
very inteIigibly called Arkansas, name far
too easily COMPOUNDED with that of the river,
while the name Osarl, still assumed by the low
er villages Of the Quapaws, and in the memory of
whom this place was first SO called, would lIave
been perfectly ineligible and original.
" This morning We observed the newly ap-
rointe1 Governor, General Miller, going up to
the town from his boat, which appeared to be
very handsomely and conveniently fitted up,
bearing for a name and motto, . I'll trp," COM
memorative Of an act Of courage for which the
General has been distinguished by his country"
The New York Statesman contains extracts
from letter from Hitchcock, on the .4ska,-
SIS, dated Feb. j, 1922, which mentions, that
owing tc the uncertain tenure of lands, and 9th
or circumstances, the settlement Of the territory
was slow, and most of the en1grants were hock
ing to the Spanish province ofTexas, which the
writer calls, = the land of PROMISE 1t adds,
= Within few weeks, 90 families, sc. have
passed here with large droves Of negroes cattle,
&c. for Austn's settlement in Texas, where
they receive bounties in lands. This prefer
ence is owing to the causes above stated, and
not to any inieriority Of our soil. In Hemstead
and Miller counties alone, the last season, the
cotton crops were worth $4,000, and the guam
tity might be immensely increased, if the titles to
lands could be fixed. The condition of the In
dams is wretched, though they hold vast quanti-
ties of land. The single tribe Of Quapaw., not
exceeding 400 in number, own three millions of
acres of the first rate land, which it would be
good policy in the government to purchase, and
pay in agricultural and manufacturing imple-
ments. We have the fullest confidence in the
talents and character of Gov. Miller, and in
lis administration and agency but some of the
circumstances above stated have been overlook
cd by the government"

that singular race of men who were once the

what a cherries and objectionable blank would
be suffered to spread over the natural history Of
man Let not this interesting page be omitted
in the book of human annals. Let those who
are now engrossed with the pursuits ofliterature,
and who professedly spread their fine energies on

An intelligent gentleman, who came passen-

tranquil and prosperous that tie Cortes were
progressing with the business of the State with
moderation and harmony and their delibera-
tons were marked with great decorum.--T They
had resolved not TO send ont any troops at pres
cnt to America. but TO try persuasion rather
than coercion. The deputies from the Brazils
manifested the most sincere attachment to the
union with the parent country; and the difficult
ties in the Colonies were not considered as
flowing from any thing like dsafection among
tie body of the people.
