COL. aAYl54& 5 SElKCULAR.


 h the eX0fdium of this production, Gol. Sefier draws parallel between lis owa course ahd that of Col. Henry ". Conway ,ilis immediate predecessor, aad maallests q strong desire 10 con, vince the public, that he is equally great, good aad distingulshed, ; is was Col. Conway. This may pass with those pefsous Who knew not Conway and may even be admitted by office hunters, office holders, and few others whose purses are growing heavy from tbe eP2t5ttc .fuads, s,surrcptitioasly given to them, through the agency of this grad, good and distinguished man, bat all a.ho knew Col. Conway and know Col. Se- yler, must also know, ,that between no two men could more points of dissimila gittj exist, ttlllttil between thc tWo chaTac ters included in the parallel.
 The o6ject of 1,ol. Sevicr, in this part of his address, is of d nature that the high-mlnded Conway would have con sldered too debasing to have adopted i'll any efgency-yea, he would have spur'ied from him, IS a venomonsreptilc, the man, or rather the imp, who ~oald l haYe dared to advise q fecourse to an expedient so groveIliug-so farbeneath the dignity of his high and noble bear ing.
 Having finished his eiilaudlng exor- diun, the Col. nex' proceeds 10 give an account of the expanded views ot ols fer tile mind,asto the objectsto be obtained by him for the welfare of the Territory ; and, from his account of if, 1t would ap- pear, that no sooner had he been tofthe first time elected to Congress, than his capacious mind, with supeFhaman inc tuition, behcid every suijeet of leglsia- tion, which the Territory at that time needed, and would need, for many years to eome-oh wonderoas maai oh slnpendous mindi of modcsiy unequal led!!!

 The Col. next proceedsto give de tail of what he has effected within the last two years; in this detail, the Col a1odestly the credit of every acl of Congress, of ;t geaefat nature, "hlci in its application embraces the people O this Territory, in common with the peo pie of all the Western States, and of al the Territories; thus the "Land bill, tat pre-emphon law, the forty acre law, tho appropriation of 100000 dollars to de ? fray the Emigration of the Indians, th' 9 appropriation of 100, ,000 dollars for th'
 defence of the frontier" are all the et - fleets of his legislatiou-dis mind frs n conceived the necessity Of the measure 2 -hls intelligence drafted the bills, am r his influence made them the laws of th q land. wonder if the Tariff bill, aat e the bill to enforce the collection of dd lies in South Carolina, were not tn h work of bis hands?-he might clair is them, as his acts, with as muehpropFiet Q as those above specified. Overweel T. ing modesty is no part Of the Col.
 creed-he trusts rather on brazen e
 trontery and, therefore, he blushes nc is while he attempts to gull the people D
 assuming the credit of acts of Congres in the origin, progress and passage m n, which, he had no more agency, than tll d man in the moon. d That the Col. possesses in high d. I'd oree the talents for law making, IS eV . - denced by the laws drawn up by h 'a a superior genius;-witness the DrS
