 The commissioners elected to relocate the seat jus tce of Crawford county have selected the late residence of Col. Thomas Moore, Little Mulberry, the site for said relocation. Itis said they will call 1t Crcn- den honor ofthe late amented Robert Grittenden.
 sIn our view of the case, the Advocate attaches too much consequence entirely to this on the land bil Had that bill contained all the guaranios, graduating privileges and pre-empton rights that were expected by the new States Col Sevier would have undoubed- Iy voted for it, and he had not his constituents would have blamed him for it. But as 1t bill which fa- vored the large land speeuators whe would 0o2r ra- ther become sellers than bRyersand as t placed the poor and the actual settler ia worse condition than they were before (postpouing everasBgly their ti- tes) Col SEVER deserves lasting honor for his bold and manly independence, n voting according to his convictions, against the united body o the Senators from the new States. By defeating that bi his hope 10 obtain more liberal and certain one for the settler, at the next session of Congress.
 Gov. FULTON voted in favor of this bill with the great body of the Senators from the new States and with his political party. He believed that Ii was not the perfect that could have been framed and yet 1t was amply capable of etfeetBg the great and para- mount object for which 1t was introduced Yiz.-to cut off that torrent of revenue which pouring into the national treasury from the monopolizing land specua- ors and thereby prevent another distribution of repo- ne, which had been protested aganst by many of tie States "
 The remarks which precede are from the Gazette, in reply to inquiries to the votes of Senators Seyer and Fulton, upon the land bill. Our remarks upon their ludicrous absurdy and pompous nothing ness shall be brief We attach too much consequence to this bill, do we? This is certainly new dscov- cry Has not the President been pretending for year that he anxious to put stop to land specu- laton? Was not Senator seyier warmly in favor of and exceedingly earnest for the same erd? Has not the Gazette been for months clamoroua upon hs very subject? Does not vitupefate the spectators in the very article before us Have not the people of Ar kansas been loud and earnest in their reiterated de- naands for this check 10 be put to speculation? Is t ofno importance that the grasping speculator should still have power the honest settler? Are the prin- ciples of pre-emption and graduation of no great im- porance? Why the Gazette has been eernay clam bring about ihem--and we now see fer what end.-- Have the people nothing at stake in the passage of such bill! Really, the Gazettes impudencc is ad- mirable FFe attach too much importance to the bill'
 But mark the consistency of the official. ' c are enlightened upon one point. For the present, at least, the Gazette is inclined to blame neither Senator for his vote. Both, we understand from this oracle of tram scondent authority, right. Mark the consistency, we say again, of the Gazette as to the reasons which induce it to declare both to be right! ifs lces 6H arhich FAVORED tbe large land apccalafors who would now rather become sellers than bpyers-and, as placed the poor and actual settler in HORSE con- dion than they were before (posponng evorlastinsly their utles) Col. Seyier deserves lasting honor Sc
