Internal improvement Meeting.

In the last number OF our paper we stated, by
mistake, that meeting of the citizens favorable
to the construction of a Turnpike road from the
holden in Van Buren,, son Monday the lst OF
February instead of the first Monday In Febrn-
arg, which is the day contemplated for the meet
ing. And hope that the citizens of this and
the adjoining counties will generally attend on that
day, as the construction of good roads is certainly
q matter Of vital importance TO the people OF Ar
kansas.
We do not know an improvement more needed
or one chat would be of more general utility, than
Il Turnpike from this place to to Northwest Mis-
souri,; passing through the best farming country
in this State all that is wanting is industry to de-
west Arkansas will be one of the most desirable
countries in the world. The richest allnvia val
leys offering every inducement to the enterprise o.
the farmer, and never failing to amply ccmpen
safe his industry, interspersed with mountains o.
the most valuable minerals, such as iron, lead
COAL and perhaps gold and silver Arkansas pos
sesses more natural resources than any Of oo hs
through the State, would tend greatly to develops
these resources furnishing facilities to get the
surplus produce to market. Thereby encourag
ing industry and stimulating enterprise. We arc
glad to see that the citizens OF this State are be
coming interested on The subjec: of Internal I'm
provement; and that efforts are being made il
different sections of the State, and hope that lhe
combined efforts may result in much good.

The best possible feeling prevails. Wings, de-
mocrats, liberty men, are all grasping each other
by the hand. The only difference of opinion is
between wings and liberty men, which are entitled
to best credit for concentrating the union in favor
of Van Buren,.
Both candidates were nominated by acclama-
ton. The enthusiasm Is immense. Three cheers
given for the candidates. three for Hale and the
liberty party-three for the radical whigs-three

was not my intention in that communication to ex.
press an opinion either in concurrence with or in op-
position to any of the views embraced in the editorial
article to which it refers.
The letter ITSELF ike most other letters of mine on
unofficial matters which have found their way into the

simply written as matter of courtesy in answer to
one which had received from the gentleman in aues-
ton. For this object, it entirely sufficient; though
under the belief that II would never 20 beyond this

Summary of the Latest News.

summary OF the Latest News.
Our telegraphic intelligence, this morning, viii
be found varied and highly interesting.
In the Senate, Mr.. Webster yesterday delivered
his ngexpected speech upon the Oregon bill, de-
veloping sviewsrespectin the proposed extension
of slave territory &c. In this effort, Mr.. W. appears
to have compressed his views in the shortest com.
pass. His speech is not lengthy, though cogent.
eloquent, and impressive. He opposes the
introduction of the proviso against slavery
INTO the Oregon bill, on the ground that
it may be implied, that if slavery be prohi-
blted North of latitude SO deg. 80 mln., it may
be inferred that Its existence is countenanced
South of that line. He is very emphatic in his de-
clarations of opposition to the further extension of
slavery. He is against all compromise. He
says he will vote against the bill if the
provlso be attached, and IN Its favor If il
be stricken out. Mr.. w. then touched upon
California and New Mexico-rejoiced that he had
nothing to do with the commenceme of the war
said he regarded the war a calamity, the
treaty calamity, and every acquisition of terri
tory, calamltous. Mr. Webster has thus define dhis
position on the Wllmot provlso, and, it will be
seen, adopted the platform of the Buffalo Conyen-
ton. He has not, however, pronounced his
opinion of General Taylor, which the political
world has so long and so anxiously awaited.
The debate on the bill, throughout, was highly
animated Messrs. Butler, Calhoun, Foote, Doug
lass, and others participated warmly in IT, AT 9
O'Clock, p M, on motion of Mr.. Douglass, the
Missouri compromise was adopted-ayes 80,
nays 81.
The election returns from North Carolina afford.
as yet, no positive indication of the result Each
party claims the election of their candidate.
Returns from other States, received up to the
hour of going to press, are also furnished We re-
fer our readers to the dispatches for the details.

We have thus afforded our politicians something
like reliable data on TO which to form calculations
respecting this State, and the probability of Mr..
Van Buren, obtaining the electoral vote. The
odds appear 10 be largely against HIM. Indeed,
this State may be set down for General
Taylor. With the division IN the democratic

have start in the coming struggle with the thirty.
