 siacs the edsss ef tlie DsMoesas has had the folly so assert and the s grsatsf folly to undertake to prove, that Col SevscF had dene nothing of rapor- tanoe for ArkansAs for the last ten years, we have givea the old gentleman, as often as our leisure would permit, catalogue of local measures. selsc ted at random. to establish the faIsehecd which he had @ anblashInsly made. These broksn-Aosss. calculated t6 revive his recollection and reading, were designed fer his benefit and we hope has prof. ted by them
 We have been amused zt the doubling and dodg- ing shifting and evasion. be has resorted to, to escape the consequences of his teeFity. the ridicue he has brought down upon himself. In vain have we asksd him, sgsia and again. fer the specifications of single Arkansas interest which Col. Sevier has neglected. He Aas not bera able to specsfy one. We have given him. on our part. journal and laws to prove all we have claimed for Col Sevicr, and by so doing have nailed his charge to the piilcry as false and unfounded. He gets angry at the long
 lists of our references which he publishes and says VIC had better include in estimate, all the ap- propration bills Ia this he has but anticipated We had intended. before VIC were done with him.
 to include the appropriations he referred to- as well all the bills that were passed during Col. sesisrs services in the Senate and to refer to the speeches and votes of that gentleman upon these bills, asevi- dence of the discharge of his duty, ts Arkansas in particular, and to tho Union at large We intended to show that, in many of these bills, such as the custom houses at New York, Boston, and Charles ton where the revenues collected, were as Hte- resting to Arkansas us to any other section of thc Union. Foreseeing our object, he has foresialled us and we are relieved of this labor.
 Tn the list of tho measures which he published last week. as coming from us he objects to the pro- ductios of the acts in which they contained and demands the production of the journals to show that Col Scvicr was the prime mover of them The most of these measures were commenced when Col Se- vier was delegate, and annual appropriations for their completion were made up to the recent date which we have given him. The value of these ap propriations he disparages, and asks of the hun dred thousand dollars appropriated for the Missis- sippi. Missouri and Arkansas, ''howmuc was dis burscd for the latter river!'' Wc answer fourth, or $25, 900. .sOf the removal of the raft of Red. if Col Sevier had properly exerted himself, it wou!d have been removed long since" Col. Sevier did properly exert himself. Bills for continuing the improvement have been regularly passed through both houses of Congress since lsi3 bu, were vetoed by Presidents Tyler and Polk.
 The appropriations for the forts upon our from tier he considers of no bcneftto Arkansas, although specially designed for that purpose, because they are west of our western boundry line--aa unjust ,quibbie too contemptibe for comment.
 Until some specification of Col. Sevier's neglect of the interest of Arkansas can be made, we shalI as the public are doubtless wearied with this dscus- sion, take our leave of the subject, and refer is to the members of our legislature, who, few weeks hereafter, will pass sentence upon the acts of Col S. not only for the last To- but for the last 2 years
