 n4We call tic attention of our readers to the com of Judge Whites speech oil the Land Bill; in this days paper. Ii is worthy of his character and reputaton-and is q sufficient answer to the abuse which has been layished him for his that bill
 By the mail from the North on Monday evening, we received the St. Louis Republican of 4prl 23d, May Eth, and May 2sth--and the Boston Pearl of Febtua- ry 27th Tks s.bates Banucher.n The mails are im proving for the worse rapidly. The latter paper we suspect has doubled Cape Horn, landed at California. and thence uia Santa Fe arrived at St. Louis, whence 1t at last reached us.
 We understand that one of the mails from the East lately lay under the water in Blacklist lake some two weeks so that when at last fished out ii was what in this country is called "a perfect mash:" Another mail from that direction in last week almost badly served. The contents have been spread ou; in the post office to dry The greater portion will hardly reach the consgnees
 Flour is selling at Cincinnati at S4 75, and the price still declining. Our merchants here only ask dol lars per barrel
 We learn by the steam boat Revenue, that General Houson's life IS thought to be in danger. He has been requested to resign the command of the TeSian forces, and has done The cause Is said to be- that in council of previous the battle of San Jacn- to, Houston opposed the attack, but overrued. Chancellor Qnitman, of Mississippi, is said to be pre- pairing publication on the subject
 We understand that the Jackson currency; alias Benton mint drops to begin circulate here di- rectly. The leaders at Washington have come to the fl4at huyt of Arkansas. When the elections come little nearer the gold will begin to jingle.
 The great contes. between Kentucky and Tennes- see, in the match race between Rodoph and Angora, takes place next fall over the Louisville course,
 1.-the "Denneracy" much mortified at Clay's Land Bs why did not tho "party' vote It down in the Senatel They have majority there, and could have defeated n--yet It passed by majority of five. Let us hear how tho Gazette excuses the Van Buren for their vote.
 @A Converted White Man,n writing in the Gazette, says,
 'If there any question which is agtafed in Con- gress that is mere interesting and important te the peo- pie of Arkansas than another, 1t is reduction of the price of the public Mnds,
 This subject comes home to every man--all eelit If Judge White should unfortunately be elected President what have the people expect from him. Can they sonaby suppose that he will his efforts and influence to reduce the price of lands, bring them within the reach of every who wishes to purchase home for himself and family when he recently by his in the Senate, manifested his opposition to the whole systeml''
 Yes, we can. Judge White, in his speech in favor of the Land Bill-part of which we publish o-day-- avowed himself in favor of reducing the price of the Public Lands. But why all this horror, gentlemenl Do you find 1t convenient to forget that your do Mr. .IaYtin Van B,ren, voted FOUR times in one session against reducing the price of public landsl Do you dislike to remember that he voted, in lS2S against the bill making donations those who lost their improve nrents by the cession of Lovely countyl Take care how you throw your brick bats. You may hit your friends.
 The Gazette is crying the old party to come up to the Have they not the fear of the Ten Section matter before their eyes! Mir. Buchanan's ordinance gives us fee sections mere to complete the State House. This will be worth from len to fifteen thou- sand dollars To finish the buildings according to the plan commenced by these patriotic wofthies, will cost about sixty thousand dollars-eaving between forty and fifty thousand dollars be raised by tax on the people of Arkansas. So much for their gorication of Gov. Pope and the Ten Sections. Send us the real "Democrats then 10 the Legislature you will be taxed about fifty thousand dollars finish the State House, and save the ese6it of the Regency.
 The last Gazette contains an article upon parties in Arkansas It's professed object to forth that the sole supporters of Judge White in Arkansas ssold Federasts, Clay and Crittenden men," We like that. This imported Editor very sagacious with regard to olden lime in this Territory. "Od Federalsts," in- deed! We should be glad to know where more of them to be found than afnong his own ranks. Does he know that of his principal co-opera- tves originaiiy " ,s: ger upon half dozen of them in this town. The fact that hitherto there has been no division of parties
