 LEWISBURGH.

A<l<Pf1oD OltA1ls
 N OTIS in this town will be offered for -A sale at the next July term of the Coun- ty Court, commencing on Monday, the 9th day of said month, on credit of six and twelve months, purchasers giving bond and approved security.
 Lewisburgh is beautifully situated on the north bank of the Arkansas river, 45 or 60 miles above the Little Rock, and it is be- lieved, unitcs more advantages in re;nt ns locality of situation and the fertility of the adjacent country, than any town in the Territory. It is situated between the two fourishing settlements of peconery be- low, and Point Remove above, and a most excellent body of land on the opposite side of the river, including Esq Ellis settle lnent, and extending southwest as far as the prosperous settlement of Fourche-la- Favre. Northeast from Lewisburgh, forS or 10 miles, the country is gently rolling and interspersed with few rich praries. until yon reach the rich bottoms of cane and cypress, and the north fork of Cadron and sources ofPoint Remove; all ofwhich are very fertile and susceptible of extcn- siye settlements. Further on in the same direction, you strike the very lourishipg settlement (the most remote in the cOun- ty) ofLittle Red river, known by the name of Rich Woods, or New Kentucky. This picturesque, healthy and fertile section of the country is settling rapidly with an en- terprising, industrious class of citizens, who find 1t greatly to their interest to make Lewisbnrgh the place of depesite for their imports and exports, being the nearest possible point to navigation, which will, without doubt, establish trade of mutual and lasting benefit between the two places. E
 Lewisburgh is the permanent Seat of Justice for the county ofCenway, the cen tre of business for the immense regions of fine country above mentioned, which, with the acknowledged healthiness of the sltua- tion, will unite in making it place of no inconsiderable commercial importance.
 Within few hundred yards of the town is fine bold neyer-failing cbalybeate spring, and also spring of pure water building materials ofeyery description are in great abundance on and near the premi- ses, such as clay suitable for brick, an ex- cellent stone quarry, and extensive groves | of fine timber.
 A court-house and jail will bo contract ed for and completed in the current year. which, together with some private dwell lings wanted immediately, present strong Inducements to the mechanic, who will be Iliherally encouraged.

 Thus, fellow citizens, one of our most distinguished citizens. and firm. intelligent and independent Judges, has haa the hand of reform extended to hlm for the exercise of that right. upon the freedom and independence Of which, depends the purity and stability of our republican institutions. Well may the pure patriot tremble for the permanenee of his government, when the constitu- ton ot his country is ovcrleaped and such gross usufpations ofpower assumed, (vlde constitution of U. States) and when integrity, intelligence and indc- pendenee are the sure passports 10 pro- seription. Col. .Sevier, well aware that he has not represented the wishes of the people, or their interest, now denies auy agency whatever, either direct ol indi- rect, in procuring Judge Bates dismiss sal. It is sell-evident that he taeitly as sentcd 10 it; but it requires very little sagacity 10 see what motives have in- duced him to negative any agency.- The honest sensibility of the people of Arkansas will be aroused, and they will hurl with just indignation the man who thus dares 10 abuse the high trust confded in him-who prostitutes the high functions of his office to the serYile devotion of a party.
 There is iil the human soul al active principle, and the people are fast roso- yering from that hallucination which, unfortunately, prevailed to so great an extent as to promote the man who now holds the high station ofDelegate; and that active principle will exert itself to the complete discomGture of our present Delegate, as strongly as he vainly im- agines that he is deep.rooted in the af. factions of the people. The changes effected and elfecting, prognosticate that event.-So may it be.

V@teao", LdaoTeHee county, sHdy %Us MR. CHARLES P. BERTRAND:
 Dr. Sir-l see in tue last Gazette, letter parporting 10 be from this county, dated April 25th, which was intended, presume, as an answer to one which appeared in your paper from this coun- ty, stating that the bundle of Gov. Pope's reply found no quarter here. As to the good or bad quarters his reply met with at the time, know nothing, as was then absent from the county; but this much l do know, that the writer in the Gazette is under grand mistake, and Ii not mistake, a falsehood, when he says that Gov. Pope's course with the Legislature is much approved of in the northern counties, and particularly in this county. The people here not only disapproye of his course, but say that should they have the honor, (or dishon- or, if you please0 of ever seeing him in this county, that they will burn him in efligy: they say, just look at his course in Congress, during the last war, and that Is enough to make true Re Epublicans and Americans eye him with contempt; and yerily believe that there is hardly a man that is known at all, whether in public or private life, that is as little thought of among the cit izens of this county, as is the good Go vernon, as he calls himself. Oh! that we had chance, on the next general election, to give our votes for Govern or-then we would show you how at present we stand. The writer in the Gazette further adds, that the people in the north say, that the old members who voted for the Ten Sections being given for Mir. Crittenden's House, will stay at home at the meeting of the next Legislature. Now l would make bold enough to say, that that is another one of his mistakes, or give it what name you please; and as for this county, l would say ii Is one Of his doubie mis- takes. There was nothing which our members did, or tried to do, that was, and is much more so now, so pleasing to us. Yes, MT. Editor, their conduct, as respects the Ten Section bill, ap- pears like true gold-the moro you use 1t and abuse it, the better it shines l What! hat! throw away ureld members for trying to do for us the very best thing they could have done with the Ten Sec tions of land? No! sir, if they will but only come out again for us, l think then the writer in the Gazette will sec that what have said of his mistakes is true.
 amnowriter, Mir. Editor, norshould 1 ! have undertaken to write now, but cannot hear our members abused and qiliified for the sake Of such man as Gov. Pope and his hirelipgs; and old
 Lawrence has, and will ever set hel

THE TEN SECTIONS.
TIE CRITTENDEN uorrsr.

Tn our last we promised to furnish our distant readers with concise description of MT. Crittenden's House, about which, a large majority of the last Legislature have been denounced as traitors to their con stituents. because they conscientiously thought the property to be fully equivalent in value, to Ten Sections of unimproyed land.
 The main house is 60 feet by ii feet and IS divided, by a hall or passage Ii feet wide, running through the middle of the huilding-into two equal divisions, 9 feet wide by A feet in length--these are again divided by partition wall, so as to give in the whole house two rooms 9 feet square and t4Fo rooms Q feet by % feet II the elear-height of the cieing Ii feet.
 Adjoining to this building is a room 24l feet square, with the same height of ciele ing--and between this room, and those first described, is a hall or passage 10 feet vide.
 The whole of this portion of the house IS one story high.
 Attached to this last described room Is two story building 30 feet by % feet Gu the lower floor of this building 10 feet square is occupied as pantry or store room, and 20 feet square, as kitchen On the second floor are two good bed rooms.
 
 The whole house is well lighted and ven- tilated by windows feet high, by 1 feet ID widtll-the main do3rs are large folding doors-in front of the house is portico feet long and I2 feet wide.
 The whole building is of brick of the best quality-the walls, as high as the hrst floor, are two bricks thick, above that they are brick and half thick. All the materials of the buildings are of the best quality and the workmanship not sur passed in any countryside whole house we'll painted, plastered and papered.
 On another part of the ground, which contains 2A acres, is another brick build ing one story high, 36 feet long, by 20 feet wide, containing two rooms-the floors of this house are out of order, and would cost S20 to have them put in complete repair. 1t took near 300, ,000 bricks to erect these buildings. The ground is enclosed with a good post and rail fence.
 Having by the foregoing description re- deemed our pledge, we leave it with our readers to draw their own conclusions, how far the Legislature departed from their duty to their constituents, in agree ing to consider this property as fair equivalent for the Ten Sections.
