on the subject, as he spoke from actual
observation of the construction of such
improvements, and their effects upon
the business and prosperity Of the coun

The Representatives and Senator from
this county, and the Senator from the

gave their assent TO the proposed i'm.

the stock will be taken in 4 very shorl

LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature meets on Monday
next. Some difficulty is anticipated
in the organization of the House, in
consequence Of the position of parties.
Each party will desire to secure the
Speaker, and other important Offices,
and il is possible that an organization
may not be effected Immediately in the
House. The Senate will have less diff
fculty, its presiding officer being the
Lieut.. Governor, who is an out and
out Benton man. Those Of the mem.
beers with whom we have conversed,
generally anticipate warm times during
the session. The election of Senator
Bank officers, &c, will doubtless create
q good deal Of contention and warm
feeling--and can alone be done by IN
ion between two Of three parties. We
hope to see the Wings stand firm, by
their own men and measures, neither
soliciting nor refusing aid. If either
of the other parties vote for our men
lei il be a freeI and voluntary act, and
and not the result of bargain and in
trigue." A victory gained by such
means would be no credit 10 any party
engaged ia il.
