THE RED RIVER COUNTRY IS attracting much notice just now--scarcely day passes but we see from one to dozen per- sons passing through our town, on their way to explore this section of our Territo- ry. At the late land sales for that district, held at Washington, between $9o,ooo and $100,00o were received for lands. We learn (from the Gazette) that there was con- siderable competition among the purchasers --some lands selling as high as SIP and $l3 per acre.
 If the attempts now making to remove the great Raft should be successful-baring the counties of Chicot, Arkansas and lief ferson-this will shortly become the most Hourishing and wealthy portion of Arkan- sas.

IS. MFR. L. had no fault to find with any one

es. Mr.. L. had no fault to find with any one
who voted for MIR, Stevenson-least OF all, mao
he any desire to injure Mr.. Stevenson himself
hut he knew that his own vote was consclen-
tious one-and he would not agree that 1t shouId
be ascribed to personal or party hostility. he
had never, in his life, given vote on such an
occasion, upon such motives. He happened TO
have no motive ofpersonal delicacy to conceal
the reasons of the vote he gave, on that occa-
sion. or any of them And, thereiore,-lf Mr.
Stevenson should desire it, not otherwise,-he
would give the whole history ofthe affair TO tpe
public, so far as he was concerned; stare 'he
facts as he understood them to exist so lar as
he was at liberty to state them; and the exaC'
public principles on which his vote was foundeu.
Mr.. l.. said, that if he had been more prollx
than he ought-if he had touched topics that
might seem not suited to such an occasion as
tbis-the attention which the company mad 81
ven him, as it had been his temptation TO pro-
coed, So he hoped, it would serve as his excuse
And he concluded by giving his friends THIS pro
mise-that, whatever should befall him, they
should hear no indecent vauntings OF victory, or
unmanIy complaints of defeat from him-ho
ebullitons of gratfied or of disappointed amol,
tion-and above all, in any event, no unhiiai
sentiment towards Virginia.

Georgia NuAifcdtion.-We take this occasion
To advertise our fellow citizens who have been
misled upon the nature of this remedy, thai they
will have occuar proof of the practical emcieh-
CIV ofthe very obnoxious article calico nuiihca-
ton when the Indian title to the lands lately
granted by the State, is tried by the Supreme
Court, as we understand it will be during its next
session; and they will furthermore be led 10 the
curious discovery, that their very leaders, those
who have worn their lungs in trumpetlng the
sounds of Union will be found among the 1ore-
most in their approval of this fearful remedy,
although they have SO recently been unceasing IN
their efforts 10 misrepresent and denounce II.
They will furthermore find that the proceedings
ofthe Judiciary department of the Union in the
case now sent up to it, will be as certainly null
lifted with the general appreciation OF the peo-
ple ant-pullifiers included, as were those in the
celebrated TasseIs case. Oh! what then will be-
come of the Union? As Mr.. Richie says, we

Sentence of Death-At the United States Dis
trct Court in Boston, last week, Henry Joseph,
n negro, and Amos Otis. a white, were tried for
the murder OF Captain James Crosby. the brig
Juniper bound from that port TO Surinam-the
former as principal, and the latter as accessory.
The murder was pe1petrated by the Dlack, ana
it appeared clear to the jury who tried them that
the white countenanced him, and they were ac-
COrdngIy convicted. on lney "CIS
brought into Court to receive the sentence OF
the law, when, says the Transcript, one OF The
most solemn scenes took place that we remem-
Der ever to have witnessed. In the midst of an
immense audience, wrapped in profound 81
lence His Honor Judge Story called upon the
prisoners respectively to say any thing they
might wish to say, according to the mild and
merciful provisions of justice in our country,
previous to the announcement of their fate from
the bench. Joseph Immediately remarked that
he had something to say, and then proceeded,
with great apparent emotion, and with his coun-
tenance bathed in tears, to state, though notwith
distinct pronunciation, that " this mani
pointing to Otis-was perfectly innocent 81 the
murder, and of all connection Nth 1t, or knor-
ledge oft. After this Otis himself, being al
lowed to speak, not only reiterated most SOL
EMMY, the cooks declaration, but gave an ex-
pIicit and remarkably distinct and sensible ex-
PLANTATION upon some points of the evidence
which had weighed most heavily against him
particularly his expression on the day subse-
quently to the murder. The Judge, in passing
sentence, which, he said, he must do,-observ-
ed that the remarks of Otis were "proper for
consideration" and that representation might
be made to the Executive in his favor The
execution was appointed for the Cd of December
