There will be an attempt to repeal the revenue bill--and Webster, Davis, and the Nulhtiers will again measure their strength. The attempt will be defeated.
 Ne hope for a reduction in the price of the public lands. circular to the States and Territories containing public lands, was introduced into our General Assembly ear Y in the last Session passed ssoda the the Council, but on account of more important business Tn the shape of divorce bills, &c. it was neglected till near the end of the Session. We hope, however, tho he is not given to consulting the pleasure of the people,) that the Executive has done his duty, by for warding it, and that it will produce the de- sired effect. 1t IS time hat the price of the lands should be reduced
 Do you take WaidieI-No9-You ought to. 1t IS an excellent thing and cheap in- deed. lie gives great mass of matter for five dollars-and that of the very best kind.
 It seems that you in Pope are at outs withyour members. They did cut you up in 6 terrible style; and altogether, the Coun- seHor made a perfect dupe-a kind of decoy duck-of his colleague. The latter has been thrown into county which will never elect him in the world; ;1and If we are not mistaken, the formeri is in as bad situation. The measure was hurried thro' in the most indecent haste. By the way, the Counsellor from Pope, or some one else, made beau tiful use of the Counsellor from Conway. The latter gentleman received from Pope pNtntvy , of the county (we speak from personal knowledge, in this matter,) signed by many inhabitants of the county particularly by those on Piney. When the bill to establish the county of Johnson was on its second. reading, the ORATOR rose, and stated that he had received such a petition, 70 fdror of such division as was proposed.
 When the Rep < seIPie se,itat,se oi fope was asked lately, would not tile line of division throw many ofthe inhabitants of Piney into Pope-he answered, that he was dubious 1t would, but that there was p,seate under standsag between himself and his colleague, that 1t should net. The lie Counsellor entlre- ly overreached the poor old fellow. We wonder how many 6oys signed the petitions tpresented by the Counsellor. In answer to query 10 that effect, he said s'not onen-- there were several of the name Of ETFiiiiisaiis- son.
 Have you been to hear the Debating so- cietyl You ought to join t. Upon our word, 1t will be useful, tho 1t should not be a splendid concern. There IS nothing like 1t, to banish tlmidity and improve the mind. But you are nodding good nightl-and come some other evening and sit at the EDIToR's TABLE.
