The expiring effort ofssOne of the Pee pie, made its appearance Tn the last Ga zette. With him, the lamp of political life IS glimmering in it's socket, and amid its desperate slrIggles, II occasionally throws around a hideons glare, in the vain hope of shedding some new light upon the present political contest. But his rays are too fee
 h!e ]; they only serve to render darkness etillsmore visible. His language is said to be metaphorieal ! such metaphor! 1t con tans neither likeness, aptness, nor truism. His fort seems to be compound of 1could- Je satire, and vulgar abuse-indeed the whole must be sublime, as sublimity is said to consist in not being understood. He pours forth disjointed and unconnected sem
 fences, without even once coming 10 a point, or overthrowing one livery yunera- ble posltion,o except in his own opinion i; and that opinion is formed while he smiles compiacently upon his own mighty efforts as they appear in print; and am of opin- lon he is too sanguine in his expectations, when he t.us to imagine he has put us all flo flight.

 Inonr former remarks upon this sub- 5ect, we were disposed to believe, that we had satisfied even Col. Sevier's most clamorous adherenis, that the late Pre- enptien law, was not measure of his ozcn origiaation, and that therefore, he 1uas not entitled to tue least credit for its pas sage. But 1t would seem, from the com plexion ofan Editorial article in the last weeks Gazette, that the Editor. sIto Keep z;p taae iasd tiiat tiiiatt iie was the .father of said law, has been compelled to resort 10 his old practice of deception. The proof, letters, &c. that Mir. Woodruff talks of and produces, to the contrary notwithstanding, we again distinctly re- peat, that so far from Coi. Seyicr's being the 'slather and originator" of this law. he had no more to do or say in its pas sage than we had, who at the time were in Arkansas. This law, in the first place. was draugiited and introduced in the House of Representatives, by Mir. Clay. q member of Congress from Alabama, and having failed of success in that House, it was afterwards introduced in the Senate, by Mr. Mckinley, from the same State, when it finally passed both Houses of Congress, and became law. Another fact in relation to this matter ls, that Congress was nefnoriaiised by the Legislature of this Territory, on hiS pery subject, which may be seen by q re- ference to the Journals of that body.-- If Arkansas had ony hand at all in the passage of this law, (wt.ich IS neither. more nor less than an s4la5anpa apeasurc,l credit is due to the Members of our e. gslature, and not to the Delegate, NIr. Eeyier.
 It is not our wish to detract from the merits of our Delegate, but when efforts are made by his friends to deceipe the people, we feel it our duty to correct and paralyze them f possible.

REpUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Mfr. Editor--The friends Of Henry Clay and the
American System residing in Hartford and lis vc'nI-
~, having called Convention 10 be holden IN that
city on the 23d Of February next, to make nominations
for the approaching election, it is important that the
measure suggested in your last paper, oil having
meeting in this county, should be adopted at an early
period. 1t is well known that small but active and
perseverng corps Of unprincipled politicians collect
ell from all parties federal democratic and federation,
has been organized in Connecticut under the nag OF
Jacksonsm, who arrogate 10 themselves all the v'r-
Tue. intelligence. and republcanism Of the State, aud
,nnder various pre,ences taking unweared pains
DO gain an ascendency in the next Legislature. i, is
believed tina, concert among the independent electors
is proper and necessary to counteract the machina
ons Of this miserable faction, aud 10 ensure the tr
umph and perpeiuasion Of the republican cause in
Connecticut. Hence Cur friends in Hartford, after
mature deberation, and collecting The sense OF re-
publicans various parts of ,he State, have dec"ed
that Convention is best calculated TO effect the OBJ
ject in view. Under these circumstances, 1t would
seem to be necessary that meeting should be held IN
ihis county TO appoint Delegates attend at Hartford
and TO second the efforts Of our friends abroad. A
suitable occasion will also be presented to express
sentiments relative to the ruinous measures of the
present administration, and entire devotion thu
great principles Of the American Sys.em-and to thu
success Of the great champion Of that SYSTEM HENRI,
CIAT. The first week Of the Superior Court will
probably be the most convenient period for the meet
ing-and it is hoped that ofOur most respectable
repRblieane win unite in calling it.
