 Mr. j. M., are these your seriotls and in- snrtnountable charges, such as might pug gle the most acute iogician and the warm est sticler for reform2 Will you conde- scend SD far as 10 tell the friends of form how much your office IS worth per year, and what your extra wages are for finding fault with, and trying However futile the attempt to crush the seeds of reform in the germ! Will you diyulge to the gaping multitude the long to be remembered feals you have performed for Col. Seyier and his immaculate friends in times of electioneering-t many gallons of oil you have burnt in the midnight lamp to write elegant and refined essays for their perusal! No, sir, yon wond shrink from snch an expose as from the bite of the most envenomed scorpion. And your fate frv- olous attempt at dictaton, finding fault with, and misconstructen of the most common sense matters, is only one among the many insults that have been offered to the free and independen ent citizens of Ar kansas. The people are already aware of the taunts and sneers of the men now in power: they deeply feel on this subject a feeling of pity, mingled with contempt. To villify and abuse, to search the Bill )ingsgate calendar for epithets, to out strip the elaborate Junius in bitterness and sarcasm, Is not the way to touch their hearts and convince their judgments Newspaper warning has become old and trite: they deprecate it, -as PaDdora's box overhowing with human ills : they have seen with regret its like effects on their fair, but isolated country. Pro- auctions written Tn the heat of passion to gratify party spleen or private resent ments, have no interest but to the writers themselves.

TExAs.-By letter from the Editor oi this paper, who was if Texas when he wrote, we learn that Santa Anna had got possession of the city of Mexico.
 We further learn, that ao exeffioT Y as making in Texas, to get convention of the people of the Province, to concert on the propriety of seceding from the Mexi- can and forming an independent govern ment, It is said that Stephen F. Austin is visiting the different settlements in the Province for the purpose of e1ectiDg the convention.
 Should secession be determined npon, there can be no doubt ofsuccess. Thou sands of citizens from the neighboring States would galiantly march forward, to aid in wrestling that fair and heaithful Pro- vince from the thraldom which nov en- chains It.

There is girl in Saybrook, about eleven years
OF age, who, from the many specimens she has gil
ven, is thought TO have been recently endowed
with some extraordinary gift Of speech At GER
tam irregular times, when the impulse is upon her,
she breaks out into powerful, com eced aud finish
ed celebrations and discourscs, generally on re-
llgIous topics. The first discourse, which she is
known To have uttered, and the only one upon that
| subject, was on lntempefancc. II is said to have
been remarkable for the clcarness, precision and
ogance of It's language, the cogency and eloquence
Of IFS thought, and the impressive manner in which
It WINS pronounced Since ,ha, time, she has de-
lyered herself OF nothing on intemperance. The
premontory symptom of her impromptns,is usually
a fiji OF stupor. AS soon as she comes out Of that.
she rises closes her eyes, and perfectly distracted
from every thing about her, commences by rcpca-
ting hymn which sometimes is original and Of tho
higher order ofpoe,ry. She then gives out a text.
naming the chapter and verse, and proceeds to de-
liver sermon always conspicuous for its sound
argument, its logical and connected sequences, and
It's rich and appealing sentiments, while ito con-
s,ructon is grammatical, and its expressions eo-
qncnt md pure. What especially as.onishes the
hearers, is the fact that when the inspiration has
gone, she recolccts aot word Of what she has
been saying, and if told the chapter and verse Of
her text, and the number Of her hymn, she knows
not how or where to find them. Her parents re-
side in New Haven, and are poor, miserable, is-
noran', and Incorporate people; and her education
has been much neglected, that she reads with
the creates, difficulty VIVA, is more marvellous
still, she discovers hardly ordinary degree ofin-
tellectual capacity. except when the spill, ofthe
improoiSatorc possesses her. Several physicians
have examined her both when N aud out of he's
luna,ics, and us yet have found no marks ofdis4
ease insanity. During TIE delivery Of her spec
ches she is cool collected and N Ill ane her pulse
is always regular. X
