 ,. 1aesoleed, That whereas the members of tlis assembly consider that Gov. Pope IS somewhat deficient in point of balance, they recommend tliat Little Billy be put mp in pig-sty and fed upon ground nuts, Gill he 9ttains sufficient weight to duly pose that great soid polite, the Governors 4t44+,
 t Resolpcd, That whereas ugly Sam Roane, being the pack-horse of the Club he be put in rail pen and fed on Ginger bread until the day of the race, in order that he be the better able 10 carry the bag gage of Lis faitfiless master.

This writer also asks. q who gave warranty deeds!''s Of what avail arc warranty deeds. when the estate of the person giving them, is said to be mortgag- ! ed for more than three times its value! This author who ayers my breath to be braiffless, still persists in saying that there ,oas q caucus held at Batesyiie! Strange that he will not give oyer the enormons sin of lying! One of the minions of his own gang who happened to be iR Batesvlle at the time the meeting was said to have taken place, upon his return. expressed his entire disbelief in the ' BatesgiHe caucus. D but thought 1t would be we'll enough to cir culate such report. This he cannot. he dare net deny, II can be fastened upaa him by testimony incontroyertihle, and like other reports, having their origin from the same source are the mere q shadows Of shades.o The fact is "One of the People, snarting under the lash, splits his venom at Mir.

 He takes demoniac pleasure in speak ing Of .sdnesi &c. and endeayors to cast the odium upon our shoulders, but he dare notspeak of exploits performed by lis own factioa-not only in duels, but in matters worse. Could Shakespeare's fancies be realized in Arkansas, are there not some who now put on inc senblancc of inno- cenee. would frequently be heard to say

mol Fail to Illentioa with gratitude, the donations given to us for purposes of cd lucation, which in all ages has proven t be the surest guarantee to the perma- ne0es and prosperity of Republican Go Iversoents. These, am persuaded, by wise and prudent management .of oui Legislature, are amply sufficient for the erection, Tt no very distant period, oI institutions of learning in various parts of the territory, aud a Seminary at our Seat of Government. Our youth may then at trifling expcnsc,be enabled in our own limits to reach in literature the various attachments of the age, and as an individual much interested, (being q parent mysel[.) if honored with a seat in your Legislature, this subject shall re. ceive my earnest attention.
 To promote our views with the Gen erai Government in tine acquisition oi lands, and to make a portion ot thepub- lie domain easily accessible to the poor est citizen amongst us, especially such as have improvements upon the public lands, and the late pre-emptlon law does not embrace, would not q memorial from our Legislature, have more weight in einIeetiag SC desirable s.n ot;eet, than the single and unaided efforts of any gen ileman, however talented he may be, that we might select for our Delegate lin Congress? These are views which have naturally obtrudedthemsolyes me as possessing some interest, and for the eobsummation Of which my .unceas- ing efforts shall be given.
 There are other subjects of perhaps |as much interest to you, which, Gas this address Is already more lengthy than I designed if io be- fnrbear to detail. hoping between this and the election to have leisure to visit and confer with you upon. all subjects affecting your inter- esis, particularly those of local con cer'r to the two counties. Upon these subjects should expect an expression of your sentiments aud wishes, so far as ] can ascertain them, petition. per- sonal observation, orotherwise, should ed asor to pramote them.
 In n Government like ours, fellow citizens, acknowledge, With pride and pleasure, your supremacy. admit in tho fullest sense, your right to in1'''t'tt, and the imperious duty of the Pepresen- tatipe fo obey. and hope that no motives of selfinterest would induce me to pass, without recognition, this sacred princi- pie of our Government.

The Hon. Daniel II. MILLER, whose death at Philadelphia, has been recent ly announced, had been for several years a Representative in Congress, in which capacity his conduct was so oarniable eand concluding that he acquired general esteem, and enjoyed the respect of his political opponents as well as of his nu- merous friends. His standing and in fiuence in the Pennsylvania delegation was probably not exceeded by that of any other mcmber.s He was a useful and assiduous member of the Commit tee, during the indisposition of MT. HorF- MAN. Mir. MILLER did not often ad- dress the House; but, whenever he did, he was beard with attention, as he de- served 10 be, because he spoke with good sense. brevity, and fairness. We sym pathize with his fan1ifyand friends over theio of such friend, who seemed, but a few weeks before, to have the pro- mise of many years of active life before him.
