NO. Y.
 From the grave of the alien and sedition party, dug by the eloquence of the immortal Henry, aided by host of generous freemen and patriots of by gone years, has sprung. within a short period, monster as frightful. and repulsive to the spirit of liberty, under the name of .Natiue .9mericanism. This mushroom monster, with frozen heart, and a scowl on its deformed features, would deny 10 the suffering son of foreign country, seeking refuge from oppression, shelter in the Temple of Liberty here erected, and con secrated to the purpose, by the patriots of the revolution. It would rob America of her boasted character of being the eshome of the i, brave and the asylum of the oppressed ''-- True, it would permit the cmigrant to settle in our country; but imposing upon him the burthens and responsibilities, would deny to him the rights of citizenshipl
 Kindred in spirit and similar in deformity to this latter monster, is an UGLY LITTLE MONSTER, of parents presenting beautiful specimens of human intellect and liberality, recently born in this State, and hereby baptis- ed NATIVE ARKANSASISNI ! May the De- rtt bless and nouish the lovely offspring !- Be it said, to the credit of the great mass of the Democrafsof the State, that they have manifested no disposition to encourage the growth of this pretty baby! But have left 1t exclusively to the support of it's proqeni- tois. Cor.

And they s.durst'' not quit their posts must say however, ln justice to our Senator, that he is moi the father of the infant, but seems recently to have made himself its godfather, by his at tentions to 1t.
 As above remarked, this new monster has met with no favor with the body of the democracy. They adhere to the liberal principles upon which the constitution of the State is founded.
 Not many years ago, Arkansas was will derness. At the time it's constitution was framed, it was, and even yet is, comparative ly wilderness country It was, like the entire valley of the Mississippi, settled, and is yet being settled, by ''neao comers''-by peo- pie from the sister States. Knowing the inn portance of having the State populated, open ed, improved, and advanced to a high rank among her sisters, the lramers of the consti- tuition held out inducements to the emigrant, by extending to him all the rights of citizen ship, upon very short residence. This they did the more readily, because they knew that the State wonld be filled up principally by persons from the neighboring States, who had been reared up under similar institutions were attached to the same farm of govern ment, and were in all respects similar tc

 DEAR DoCToR--The weather is remark ably mild and pleasant-the health of the country good-and the crops as fine as were ever seen. Corn is not worth more than 15 cents a bushel. Green county will have great quantities of Pork and Beef, for sale, this year. Pork is now worth S1 50 hun dred, and Beef the same The prices of Merchandise are low; and we have plenty of Money in circulation, to answer all ordinary purposes-and 1t is of the right sort Every day, see more or less Gold in circulation Is not this better for the people, than Bank paper2 The one is good when you receive it-good while you keep it-good when you wish to lay it out--good all the time.

APPOINTMENT BY THE pRESInENr

APPOINTMENT BY THE PRESIDENT.
 LEVI WooDBURY, of New Hampshire, as one of the associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the place of Joseph Story, deceased.
 Upon the appointment of MT. Woodbury, the Union makes the following remarks-in the justness of which all must coincide, who properly appreciate great talents, sound de- mocracy, and pure patriotism. In our opin- ion, Mir. Woodbury is among the very few men in our country who would fill with dis tinguished honor and usefulness, any one of the highest stations under the government. Our only regret al this appointment is that we fear it will be difficult, if not impossible, to supply his place in the Senate In the probable realization of our hopes, a more ex- alted--the most exalted station in our great Republic, will, ere many years clapse, attest his worth, and reward his immaculate fdel- ty to the true principles of the constitution. He is among the few men-and they are re- ally iew-of whom we have no fear that a seat on the Supreme Court Bench can con- vert into Federalist. And we know of no higher praise to bestow on any mans Democracy. The Union says:
 "One of the most imporlant-perhaps the most mportant-appointmen which the ''Unionn has ever announced, is the one which we publish in this evenings paper It is the appointment of Levi Woodbury, esq, of New Hampshire, to the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. En- dowed as that supreme tribunal is with great powers, it is important to fill 1t with men of the proper talents, principles, and qualitica tions. MT. Woodbury is eminently entitled to the honor, not merely on account of his public services, but more especially by his eminent accomplishments as a sound const- tutional jurist, in the maturity of his mind and the vigor of his faculties We congrat- uate the country, therefore, upon his ap- pointment. Our great regret arises from the loss of his effective and brilliant talents oil one of the great "felds of his fame,n the Senate of the United States. There he will be greatly missed-for there he has distin- guished himself by the justness of his views and the efficiency of his talents.o

Below we give all the returns received up to the hour of going to press. The returns have not come i'll so rapid as last year-there not being the usual degree of interest in the interior towns The split tickets in this city were very numerous. Governor Ander- son is undoubtedly elected. Our ticket Of senators, we think, is also carred-or at least three of them. The run for county attorney is close, so far as received; but we think Swasey [democraD is elected; of this, how ever, we shall know certainly in the course of the day Charles Cobb, as clerk of the courts, and Daniel Merrill, as county com missioner, both democrats, are elected bv large majorities, General Smith, as county treasurer, runs nearer the wind, in conse- quence of a third ticket run against him but we think he is elected.
 It will be seen that there is no choice of in this city.
