stead of per cent. the nett proceeds we should have received 66 2-3 per cent We could have pass ed any laws of pre-enptioo, encouraging emigration which we might choose-and we would by the amend men have been allowed gradually to reduce the price of the land. We say again. here was the very object we have so long been anxouslY looking fer yet har
 y daring to hope. Ye against this amendment voted Senator Fultsa and for t voted Mir Serier The for ner voted against giciag 10 Arkansas all the land within her bordeis upon her agreement to pay 8 per cent of the nett proceeds the national treasury Viii tue Gazette tell IS which right l-or perhaps
 that paper considers t question of no importance Perhaps it even believes that both were right.
 If Senator Fulton wrong, Ii could not have bsen wilfulness in him. Had he suspected himself to be
 an error, he would VIC doubt not, have applied to Senator sevier for advice, vho would have set him right. IL would have been prudent course fer him to follow. Senator seYier Is a man of good strong common sense, and would no doubt be happy to ad- wise and counsel brother Senator in an emergency
 ae say again, we do not pretend 10 say which was right. Perhaps both were so. The land bill was matter of very little importance, my way. The peo pie of Arkansas care little about pre-empon, grudua- ton, and checks 10 land speculation These Iitllo matters do not concern their welfare. The Expnng- ing Resolution was matter of more vital importance. If Senator Fulton wrong he was unfortunate. = He could easily have set himself right, by referring to the more mature judgment of lis brother Senator.
 However, we are not of the faithful, and have no rghtto giye opinion on these matters. We only wish to learn from the Gazette whether t intends that the people shall approve he vote of both on is bill, and if not, which il intends to pousee. There will be war between them about t yet, and if he Gazette could but learn which aide tho people will favor ii would be out against one or the other at once. Te trust it may soon ascertain,
