LEGTSL.ATYVE KEYSTONE.
During the approaching session of the legislaI
tnre. the KgYsToNE will as usual, be published
TWICE WEEK, and contain full reports OF the pos
ceedings in both branches Of the legislature, incu-
ding the speeches of MEMBERS Legislative reports
&C. For this purpose, the editors VIII nave COM
petent reporters in both houses OF our legislature,
az well as at Washington city, thus enabling them
to furnish not only complete report of the proceed
inrs of our own legislature, bu. also OF the ap-
proaching session of ofCongress. Having made AMI
Die arrangements for the bestowal OF IEcESAsIO
attention to the legislative department OF their
newspaper they cherish the conviction, that they
will render entire Satisfaction in this respect not
only to the members of the legislature, but to the
reading community generally.
AS il is more than probable, that the aIi-engross-
ing subject of the arrangement oi the currency un-
der which the community snow lsOorng, and the
condition of the several banking institutions oi our
state will constitute topics OF speedy legislanVo
action, the proceedings of the approaching session
will be fraught with unusual interest," and render
paper published at the seat government, which be-
slows upon them constant attention, vehicle Of
intelligence "most devouty ~ished!"
We would also call to the minds OF cur Isaue.s
that the great Presidential contest OF lS4Ols aP-
proaching with sapid stride, which is to decide,
whether our National Government shall continue
to be administered upon the truly republican prin-
cipes of its present illustrious head, Martin van
Buren, or whether the reigns of power shall be
committed to the hands of ultra Fedcra'ists and
friends of a great and blightng monopoly IN the
shane eff Naional Bank. The keystone, being
indissoubIy welded to the support OF the rePuoli-
can cause will in this momentuous conflict, bat'e
manfully on the side Of Van Buren, and Con-
stitutional Treasury, and contribute It's m.'e % th'
advancement and ultimate triumph oil the deino-
cratic cause. We shall continue unceasingly to
expose the dangerous heresies Of the Federallsts
and advocates of an overpowering monied monopS-
Iy. and snare no exertions, TO render the "hcN'
stone" an effective weapon in the bonds oi IAS
Democracy of the State and Union.
Grateful for the liberal patronage hitherto nes-
towed upon them by tine cOmmunity-e pa,'eaage'
which has given the keystone circulation De-

OUR OWN CONCERNS.

This number (26) completes year and a
half since our connexon with this paper,
and il has now become absolutely necessary
that the small sum due US from each OF our
patrons be paid. We have claims pressing
upon us that must be settled, and we have no
other resource to look for means TO liquidaie
them, bat to our subscribers, not having
either a Prothonotary or Collectorship to
sustain us. 1t is true that the sum due
from each is small, yet it is from such small
sums that we must make up large ones.-
Our terms, it will be remembered, are two
dollars, if paid within the year, if not, fifty
cents to be added. From such as will now
pay us, the extra will not be charged. We
hope that such of our subscribers at dis
.tance as have moi paid us any thing from
: the commencement will forward US a five
dollar bill, that we may credit them year
in advance. Wood, and Grain of all kinds
will be received in payment

he at once read my desire in my obvious

respiration, it never utters a complaint or
grOan' But when nature is vanquished by
suffering privations have exhausted
its strengh-when life is ebbing-the drom-
edary kneels down, stretches out its neck,
and closes its eyes. Its master then knows
that all is over. He dismounts and with
out an attempt 10 make il rise--for he
knows the honesty Of its nature, and never
suspects il of deception or laziness-he re-
moves the saddle, places it on the back of
another dromedsry, ,and departs, abandoning
the one that is no Iosger able to accompany
him. When night approaches, the jackals
and hyenas, attracted by the scent, come
up and attack the poor animal till nothing

Important from The Indian Frontier -
War is evidently brewing on the Arkansas
boundary. From the Ozark Standard, of
the 7ih, itsappears that the militrry at Fort
Gibson have been ordered TO demand, of
Ross. the 'purderers of Ridge and Boudinot.
The orderfs imperitive but cannot be obey
ed by Ross. His own friends are the de-
linquents and'he cannot surrender them,
because if he had the inclination, he hasn't
the power. War is inevitable; and blood
must flow. The situation of Washington
county in Arkansas and of our own South
western counties, is very alarming.

when the attention of the public was so much en-
gagged upon any one subject it is at present upon
the arrangement of the currency, arising from the
abuses of banking; and as the deliberation of the
ensuing Legislature will in all probability be main
lY directed to this important subject il cannot be
otherwise than that every thing which transpres at
the seat of government in relation thereto, will be
eagerly sought after. With these considerations in
view. the undersigned have made ample arrange
ments for laying before their readers full reports OF
the proceedings ia both branches of the State Le-
gislature, together with the speeches of members,
