Col. Sevier says in his Circular, that we have "a battle to fight with fanaticism, to gain our entrance into the Union. He has been called on by one of his old and tried friends to explain himself, and has attempted to do so.
 If he meant that any portion of the citizens of this Territory would make fanatical oppo- siton to our entrance into the Union as slave State, we trust he is mistaken. It can not certainly be supposed that it is for the in terests of Arkansas to become free State Surrounded, as we should be, by Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and the Indian tribes, all of them slave conn., tries, our State would become the land ofre- fuge for runaways and vagabonds. Beside this, our revenue is to be raised from, and our rich lands settled by, the slave holders
 If he meant that fanaticism abroad would oppose and thwart our efforts and hamper our prosperity-he does tot betiere d. He knows, if he knows any thing, that wherever the Alp olition flag has been hoisted at public meet ings, in the free States of the North, 1t has been trampled contemptuously under foot. He knows that the spirit of Additional fana- tlcism has no resting place there-that the few men who fan the flame are discontented, nnquiet beings, who chose their incendiary employment as he did who burnt the temple of Diana at Ephesus-to win themselves mo- .tice.
 But will the Colonel inform us of whom he is so grevopsly afraid. Will not New York be one of our enemies? The Delegate Is a good Van Buren man, for it is probable that Richard NJ. Johnson will be nominated by the Convention for Vice President. Has the Ethiopian, then, changed his dye! Has Van Buren become friend to the slave States! If ever we have battle to fight with fanati- cism, Van Buren will be in the front against ns The Colonel's fears are eleetioneering .fears-and he forgot that Van Buren had op- posed the admission of Missouri.

John Buchanan, who has just been &C., quilted at Annapolis, Maryland, on an in- dietment for homicide, is the son of the Chief Justice of that state. The Batl- more American contains a narrative of the trial. from which we take the following par agraphs =
 .sAfter inquiry into the facts Of the case, number of very influential individuals de- termined immediately to lay statement thereof before Governor Thomas, with a full confidence that those facts, taken with the whole concurrent circumstances, form ed such case as to call for the exercise of that high aud delicate prerogative which Is entrusted to the Governor alone. of ar resting all further proceedings against an accused. Whilst this was in progress, however, Judge Buchanan reached the city, and instantly, with that high tone of human energy, which we hope will become no less characteristic of American than 1t has therefore as if exclusively designated as Roman virtue, placed his ueto upon all attempts of the kind, and pronounced that his son should await the verdict of his country.

 HORRIBLE MuRDER.

Ne have been informed by some gentle men of the first responsibility, direct from Texas, that Mr. Elin of the State of Georgia, was murdered by his companion, a Mr. James Jenkins on the Colorado river in Austin's Colony, on the 27th of March last, under circumstances of the most shocking and aggravated nature.
 The deceased and his murderer Jenkins, had during the last winter left Georgia in company, had made some selections and purchases of land for their future residence. Eiiin, the deceased, wishing to remain in Texas, gave to Jenkins power of attor- ney to go on to Georgia and bring his ne- groes to Texas. 4 day or two before his (Jenkins) departure, while alone with El- lin in the woods, Jenkins murdered Ellin, toek from his person between $500 and Si2000, and has in all probability proceeded forthwith to Georgia, to take possession of the said negroes, under his power of attorney, with the view of converting them into cash, and making his escape before any intelligence of his horrible crime shall reach the section of country in which the deceased resided. Said murderer, James Jenkins, is about six feet high, dark eyes and hair and between p or 30 years of age. The civil authorities of Texas have used every exertion for his arrest without any avail. Editors throughout the State, friends of humanity, are requested to give publicity to the foregoing, Refer to James Barnett, James Collinsworth and w. H. Wharton, Texas.

 We confess that the results of the fourth .Monday have settled the question, as it re- lates to the character of the next Legisla- ture of Virginia. Enough is already known to establish the fact that in that body there will be strong Administration, and accor- ding to present appearances, decided Vaa Batren majority. This last circumstance was to us wholly incredible, until inc defeat of Curtis in Hanover, HeaIy i'll Middlesex, Pollard in King William, Rufin in Surry, Shell and Wilkes in Brunswick, Cabel in Nelson, (a result anticipated by neither party,) announced in rapid succession, left us no room 10 doubt that such aOaS the aUiH of tue People,

It seems that the Wings have been beaten in Virginia. We are still confident, howe yer, that it is not for Van Buren but for Jack son, they have voted. We hope 50, for the honor of human nature. And if so, opgh not their love for Jackson to elect Hugh l.. White! In almost every county the contest has been arduous, and the Wings beaten by small maiorities. It cannot be that old Vir- ginia goes for Van Buren.

Baltimore Coneention.-Let US briefly state a few facts: The Delegates for New Jersey were appointed by meeting of tlOetce indi- viduals. Nine of these were office holders, and the others near relatives of the village Postmaster, Delegates for Illinois were ap- pointed at Vandalia. At Jackson, Miss. va cancies in the Delegation were filled by a meeting of nine. At Mobile, few public officers, with their brothers and cousins, ap- pointed the whole Alabama delegation. In New York, Maine, Kentucky, and Louisia- na, the Van Buren members of the Legisla- ture did 1t all. In New York f614y-l,tne members appointed forty-two Delegatess In Maine thirty members appointed eight. In Kentucky nineteen appointed fourteen; and in Louisiana fourteen appointed seventeen. Appointing number 165-Delegates 106. In Illinois, the Delegates are Mr. Pew and T, P. Moore, both of Kentucky. 'sFresh from the people, with vengeance!

From tue London Standard, of April 1.
 The following extract from private let ter, received this morning from Davenport, has been sent t9 us by respectable cones- pondent, who has given his address. We greatly question it's authenticity, but the let ter has the appearance of being genuine, and with the exception of the paragrap be- low, refers entirely to matters of a private nature.
 "An account has just been received from Falmouth stating that there had been ye' ry severe engagement between His Majes. tvs ship Canopus, commanded by the Hon. Captain Percy, and three Russian men oi war, who attempted to pass the Darda- nelles, and were most gallantly opposed by the Canopus. Ii is stated that she was nearly cut to pieces, having had eight men killed and great many wounded during the engagement"

The Boston Courier, an avowed Hart ford Convention federalist, and the most reckless reviler of. President Jackson, that breathes in all New England, IS out for Van Buren against Judge White. A few months since he was denouncing the present administration as more fruitful in curses upon our country, than ever the rod of Moses was upon Egypt's i'll lated land i; now he is out for prominent supporter of all its measures.-Oh brother Union where now is your holy horror of federalism ; where IS your reverence for the ''sacYed doctrines of '9S?" Do you remember call ing Judge Whites friends nullifers, be- cause few open and honest adherents of the Jefferson school, ventured to express a preference for him?

We see in the last Gazette an advertise ment calling on the citizens of this county to meet on Saturday, June 18th, at the Baptist Church in this town, to consider the question .ofState Government, signed by ssMany of the People," We had for some time heard that Col. Sevier was busy planning and origina- ting such meeting--but all tbat aside, we are not averse to it. Let us know the senti- ments of the people on this subject. All such measures as change of government should be decided on by the people, and not by the fiat of political plotters, who would sell their hopes of Heaven to remain in office.

We take the following from the Gazette, not having seen either of the papers spoken of. fMr. Coffee considers himself innocent, it was certainly his duty as a man and citi- zen to remain and abide his trial. If inno- cent, there was so much the more reason that he should not set the example to setting law at naught by fleeing the country.
