Our sense of duty, however, and the resources of our art, have always SUD- piled us with the means of overcoming their squeamishness and we do not despair of the s' Gazette" He exctes our commiser- ation, it is true, by his complaints; and we are sorry that he is sickened so soon but he must "suffer and be strong''-alias-..g grin and bear it."

ARKANSAS SILK

We had the qualification, the other day through the kindness of our respected towns man, Mir Woodruff. to see d specimen oi Arkansas domestic industry-in the shape of . beautiful silk handkerchief l. was pro- duced and manufactured on the farm, and by the family, of Dr. N. D. Smith, of Hemp stead county. It was of brilliant gold CO., Tor, ol a very even thread, and firm texture. To Us 1t seemed equal, in appearance and quality, to the best pongee silk hand kerchieis usually sold by our merchants.- Dr. Smith has number of dress patterns of this quality, and of various colors, which he will furnish to order, at SS3 piece. This price seems to us to be cheap enough ;. and leaves no necessity for the tar0 of protection which the Dr. thinks he needs good ar ticle, and fair pricesS such as he now offers, will insure ready sale for all the silk which he, aud his neighbors, can produce. So soon as we can persuade some dear specimen of womanhood to join us in dispelling the cares of :. single blessedness, we intend to send an order for two of those dress pat terms, and enough for shawl. Our gallant neighbor of the Gazette ought to do so forth with; for, our hopes will be sadly disap- pointed, and whiggery much neglected in Arkansas, if he donot need them before the |. Ides of March,

 a5=A scribbler in the Gazette, over the sig- nature of c. w. Weller, wastes a deal of ink, to prove that he is sadly dissatisfied with his own position in society, and with the "Arkansas Bannern This is unfortunate for him as both society, and the ''Banner," are likely to pursue '.the even tenor oftheir way,'' without pausing to inquire whether he be sa- tislied, or not. The charity, however, which we feel for any creature in distress, prompts us to relieve his painful fears that "aspersions are lald up in rancorous store for his devo- ted head" In our opinion, he is in no dan- ger whatever; and for the season, if for no other, that he is ID nobody's oay. It is in- conceivable that any man is possessed of am- biton so mean as to envy Cyrus W. Weller, or to desire advancement upon the injury of such creature. The Democratic party are well rid of him; and we congratulate our self, that we have escaped the slime of his appreciation"

 "DEMocRATIc GAIN.-An election took place last Monday in the Norfolk District, to supply the vacancy in the Virginia Senate, created by the resignation of Mr. Langhorne, Whig Mir. Crump, the Wing candidate, was elected by majority of l22.
 ''lt will be observed, says the Richmond Enquirer, that since the Spring we have gain- ed in Norfolk Borough 10, in Norfolk coun- ty 95, in .Nanseneond l39, and in Princess Ann l6-in all, 260. This is a glorious re- suit in this hitherto impregnable Federal dis trict. One more effort, and it is ours Nor folk county (but particularly, Portsmouth ) has covered herself with immortal honor.o

 It IS not because this news is at all extra ordinary in itself, that we are thus gratifed but because 1t comes to us as well remem- bered voice from the loyedhome of our child hood. NANsEMoND COUNTY is the place oi our nativity. For many years, she was re- presented by him our deceased Father who taught us Democracy. For several years past, by some strange inlatuation, she has committed herself to the hands of the Fede- ralsts. Last year we were there, at an election; and were mortified to witness the success of Federalist, by majority of IS votes. But now, s!Old Nansemond' God bless her '! is herself again. By a Demo- cratic majority of 121, she has repudiated the deluders of her confidence, ''driven the mo- ney changers from her holy temple" and re- turned to the pure faith of her fathers. Let her now remain true to herself. A nd should we die here, at our post, in this far western region, defending the principles which we learned within her borders, let some kind friend take us there again, and lay our bones Tn her loved soil, which Is hallowed by the dearest recollections of our life; and over which now proudly waves, again, the bright banner of Democracy.

TEXAS.

We have already declared our desire that Texas may be annexed to the United States :; and here repeat it. We shall earnestly and perseverinely contend for this measure, as necessary to the welfare of our country at Nlarge, and as vital to the interests of the South Western States, especially It IS a measure which should now be urged, and never again be allowed to slurnber until ac- complished. It can be accomplished, if the proper steps be taken, and the proper deter mination be evinced, by the true friends of our country. We shall keep our readers in formed of every thing material which trans pires in relation to 1t. Below, are extracts from Democratic papers in New Y York and Pennsylvania, showing the views of our bre- thren in that quarter of the Uuion
 Ihc Ieras Question-A Washington cor respondent of the Charleston Courier writes: Our relations with Texas seem at last to have attracted the serious attention of the Go- vernment and of the people. It is supposed that the President will bring the subject, in all its bearings, before Congress, in his an- nual message; and that he will recommend the annexation of Texas to the Union, or, at least, propose some measures by which the introduction of British power into Texas can be defeated.
 MT. Henshaw, Secretary of the Navy, visited Texas few years ago, and, on his return, expressed himself strongly, as understand, in favor of the annexation. Mr. Upshur is known as strenuous advocate of the propo- sition; and there is no doubt that Messrs. Wlckliffe and Nelson coincide with him. There is no good reason to doubt the con- currenee of the other two members of the Cabinet" N Y. Plebian.
 .4nneration of Teras to tke Union.-Ths measure will become necessary, as one of self defence against the grasping ambition of En- gland. The President seems himself to in- cline that way, and every disinterested man, capable of stripping himself of local preju- dices, will soon think on the subject as the South does. More anon
