The following eloquent extracts are from speech of Mr. Baylies,in the le- gislature of Massachusetts. The sub ieet.uuder consideration was sproposi- tion to amend the constitution, and a member, by implication, had shown a disposition to have the elective franchise depend on landed qualification. It was in answer to that suggestion that Mr. Baylies spoke.

But, sir. ] can tell that gentleman that it is not amongst the green hills of the coun- ty of Worcester, that he can look for those daring spirits who gave the first impulse, which resulted in that mighty event. In two little rooms in this city were assembled the men who devised the project of emancipating nation the pioneers of the American Revolu- tion were the MECHANICS OF BosToN. Ins their meetings they deliberated on the highest objects of human concern ment--a nations rights, and having as- certalned the strength of the foundation, they had no dread of the issue, and courted the conflict.

On that day,ln that place, was assembled the most august political body that ever de- liberated on a nations destiny. Five men had been selected as the ellie of that assembly--the greatest amongst the gfeat-to prepare the manifesto of a nations rlghts--of d nations wrongs.- Amongst them was a man by the name of Benjamin Franklin, (thc gentleman from Leicester in his multifarious read ings may have read of him;) mighty man amongst the sons of men, who, by common consent, stood at the head of the philosophers of America and of Eu- rope, whose deep Investigations into the secrets of nature, had given him the knowledge of her subtlest, most myste- fious, most tremendous, most destruc- tive agent, which he disarmed of its power. Yes, ssir, he played wit with the forked lightnings as with atamed snake --and yet the clements of that marvel lous wisdom which enlightened and as tonished the world, were gathered in a Printers Office, and this great man was Printer.

 E T has, for years past, been the opinion of many persons oflnteillgenee, living in different sectionsof the I erritory, that the interests and welfare of Arkansas, would be advanced by the establishment of anoth- erpublic paper in this place. With view to the public good, and with, hope, lau- dable desire to establishmyselfi in business. have determined to commence the pub slication of a weekly paper, with the above title, so soon as l can obtain from Cincin- nati press, and other necessary mater;- ais.
 DisayoWing any connection with par ties, whose infuriate zeal, has, for years been a reproach to our country, and has retarded her growth, the Advocate shall be open to all parties, and devoted to none
 The Advocate shall be exclusively devo- ted to the interests of Arkansas; its col umns shall be open for the free investiga- tion and discussion all subjects connect ed with, or calculated to promote, the in- terests of the Territory.
 1 In politics, repnblicanism Is our theme and, as Tn Republics, the voice Of the ma | ioTity Is the ruling power, l hold it to be correct, to submit with dignity to the voice of the people Deprecating, therefore, the vilifcation and abuse, that have been, and still are, teemlng out against the venerable patriot, who, bY an overwhelming majority has been called upon to guide the desti- nies of the nation, l will feel bound to pay to him that reverence justly his due. Firm Iy believing, that in all his measures, he will have an eye single to his ooantry's good, shall feel 1t my duty to defend his course, until satisfied that he is disposed te Isacrifce that cause, in defence ofwhichhe has ever been ready to expose his life. Living in the Territory from my child hood, I feel welded to its interests; and, ! under the belief, that the fertility ofits soil. the salubrity of it's climate, its mineral treasures, in connection with it's navigable streams, affording atall times, communi- cation with Orleans, require only to
 be known abroad, to attract an emigra-
 ton from the neighboring States, sufficient Fly great, speedily to give us an honorable station among the States, of the Union, portion of the Advocate will be devoted to typographical and mineralogical descripti-
 ons of differentsections of the country. ] A portion of the Advocate will be devo-

 Rensar6adle has5s9let.-'s 'E'cil ii. says Dr. Buchanan, in a letter to his friend, .s that I wrote this at the bottom of d lofty mountain called Cape Gomorin, whose rocky head seems to oyerhang its base. The birds which build their pen dulous nests are numerous. At night each of their little habitations are light ed up, as fl to see company; the saga cious little bird fastens a bit of clay to the top of the nest, and then picks up a fire fly, and sticks 1t on the top to illu- mine the dwelling, which consists of two rooms. Sometimes there are three or four flies, and their blaze of hghtin the little cell dazzles the eyes of the bats, which often kill the young birds.

A preacher in the western country |applied to General Jackson for an office of some character. At the time he ap- piled, the General did not know the ap- plicant was preacher, and he very po- litely observed to him that he would think of his claims, and weigh then.- The preacher saw the General in a few days after, and renewed his application. (The General7i in the mean time got in- formation that he was preacher of the gospel.) The General asked him if he was not a preacher of the gospel: he answered he was-well, says the Gene ral, if you discharge the duties of that office, which is better than any l can confer, you will have no time to dis charge the duties of any that l can give !; you will therefore excuse me for advis- ing you to return home, and attend to that without being burdened with any ether, that you may be enabled to ac- count hereafter for your stewardship in 1his world.

HONOR AMONG INDIANS.

There Is no class of human beings on earth. who hold pledge more sacred and binding, than do the North Amerl- can indians. 4 sample of this was wit messed during the Winnebago war of I827. inthe person of Delzker-Fe, aeele- brated chief of that nation, who, among faur other Indians of his tribe, was taken lnrisoner at Praire du Chien. Colonel Smelling, of the 9th regiment of infant ", who then commanded that garrison, despatched young Indian into the na- ton, with orders to inform the other chiefs of Dekker-re's band, that unless those Indians who were the perpetrators of the horrid murders of some of our ei- tizens, were not brought to the fort and given upwithin ten days, Dekker-re and the other four Indians who were retain ed as hostages, would be shot at the end of that time. The awful sentence was pronounced in the presence of Dek- l iker-re, who. though prociaiming his own Innocence of the outrages which had been committed by others of his nation. exclaimed that he feared not death. l though it would be attended with seri- ous consequences, inasmuch as he had two affectionate wives, and large fam l fly of small children who were entirely dependent on him for their support; but Unnecessary, hewas willing to die for the honor of his nation. The young Indian had been gone several days, and 20 in telligenee was yet received from the murderers. The dreadful day being near at hand, and Dekker-re being ina Ibad state of health, asked permission o. l the Colonel to go to the river to indulge in his long accustomed habit of bathing in order to improve his health. Upof which, Col. $. told him that, fine would promise, on the honor of a chief, that he would not leave the town, he miehI have his liberty, and enjoy all his priVi. Ileges, until the day ofthe appointed ex
 ecution. Accordingly, he first gave his hand. to the Colonel, thanked him fol his friendly offer, then raised both his hands aloft, and in the most solemn ad- duration, promised that he would not leave the bounds prescribed, and said. If he had a hundred lives, he would soonerlose them all than forfeit his word, or deduct from his proud nation one particle of its boasted honor. He was then set at liberty. He was advised te flee to the wilderness, and make his es- cape. But no" said he, do you think prize life above honor? or that l would betray confidence reposed in me, for the sake of saving my life?"- He then complacently remained until nine days of the ten which he had to live had elapsed, and nothing heard from 1 the nation with regard to the apprehen- sion of the murderers, his immediate death became apparent; but no altera- l ton could be seen in the countenance of the chief It so happened that on that day Gen. Atkinson arrived with his troops from Jefferson Barracks, and the lorder for the execution was counter manded, and the Indians permitted to Irepair to their homes.
