AREZONIA BRIEFLY DESCRIBED.

A want of water, a scarcity of soil, an excess
of gravel, q saperfluity of serpents, and a paucity
of population, are the distinguishing characters
tics of that portion of the Gadsden Purchase pro-
posed to be erected into a territory now, and into
a State soon aster, under the name of Arezonia.-
+. c ok is the ameteur delegate about the House
of Representatives of these serpents in excess and
people in deficiency. Behind him are the engi-
I,eers of a new scheme for a new State, and two
not new United States Senators-friends of the
South. The Compromise dodge will probobly be
tried on this wretched offer of this wretched re-
gion, to enter the republican household. A por-
ton of California will be chopped of, and added
to it, to make its claims ~ be regarded as q State
less absurd than it row is.
The 'whopper' that Arezonia has ten thousand
people in it, is e9ualled only by the ~pretence that
il has mines of gold and hills of gems. 1t has on
ly thirst, gravel, snakes, centipides, cactus plants
and misery. Appurtenant to these are at the out
side one thousand Indians. Mexicans aud half
breeds. A State full of them would tester in any
political atmosphere. Such as they now are Jack
Ketch would be their fttest Governor, and the
Gallows their most saving in~stitution.-Albany
