Arkansas. ia those a,.. enjoyed the largest liberty, and carried on, inc s,., principles of PrlHstscs democracy.
 Alter ATkansss was admitted lo the JIn,on r., f'Sevier, and the late Cot. William S Fulton ws. elected United States Senators. They. vtb na Senators from Michigan, Messrs John No,ynl ,n1 Lacisls Lyon, were elected Senators before eth, slate had been admitted to the Union, and were a5 yised, by Col. Bcuton, to enter the Senate eha,L
 and fake their seat, in defiance of the majority .h refused them. Col. Sevier was inclined ia ,Jas, the advice: but, Messrs, Lyon and Norvei. caD,s, from different latitude, preferred Inc more paSGe policy of waiting.
 In the Senate, Col. Seyier has always h.en ,. specied for his talents decision of eharrtsy ,sb iirmness. Bu;, until the accession of Mir PoIk h. did uot bod very prominent positon-place ats influence having been meaopoised by older meu bers. After the eleeton of Mr. Polk he was plaees ! on the committee of foreign affairs; and when gr Allen. tf Ohio, in mtf quit the chairmsnslip al that committee. he was placed al the head of f. 4. the chief ot foreign relations, he has acquitted hn self with entire success, to inc credit oi hlm,e and to the advantage of hts country. As cemgi,. sioaer to Mexico, he will either negotiate peAes or renew the war, without any unnecessary delay In his personal intercourse with the world, he i, remarkable for his courtesy, kindness and good na ture; and, few men eyer became acquainted with him, without conceising for him the sarinest t. spect. Cot Sevier possesses very prepossessing cous. tcnauce; and. would be singled out. among croud. as man endowed with the niger and nober qual. ties of our asture. As public speaker, he s aa. en, olten vehement utiers precisely what hts hosr, dictates, aud makes Pretensi0ns 10 refined ftee- Tic or oratory. He always speaks impromptu and. il is not probable that he ever, in the whole cour~ of his life, prepared himself by study for .et speech. In word, be is distinguished in debate for good sense. purity and upnghtness Of mo'ne, and recklessness of consequences, So leng as be defends and advocates what lac believes to be jusi and bouorabie.
 Col Sevier is now less than fifty years ef age he may be fve-~od-for'y-is about five feet tea inches high; and for number of years past, has been inclining to corpulency. He possesses Fe- markedly expressive, piercing, yet black eye whrh has about il restIessness sufficiently indicative ot an active and ever busily engaged mind. In alh movements and motions, he is apparently impatient and restless incapable of restraint and uny ielns to dictaiion. He thinks decides, and acts. at the same moment: and his motto. through life, has been "Whatever is to be done, should be done quickly We do not doubt that he will faithfully represn. his country in Mexico. He will lay his project be fore the commissioners or government ot that 'e pubiic and, fl they be accepted Ptehpy, all Hia he we'll 8 bat, no unnecessary diplomacy or aas will be wasted.
