THE STATE OF FRANKLAND.

We learned, n short time ago, that the sub
ject of dividing the State of Tennessee would
be agitated this summer. 1t will be remem-
bered by some Of our readers, that twelve or
fifteen years ago, the subject was mooted in
several papers. If our recollection is not at
fault, the proposition was that the new State
should embrace all the territory known as
East Tennessee, with portion OF North
western Carolina and Western Virginia, to be
called "The State OF FrankIand." Whether
the plan is feasible, and whether the people
10 the territory mentioned would consent to
separation, is doubtful, though several
strong arguments might be adduced in its
favor. The area embraced in the limits men
toned would constitute a State of ample
boundaries, and embracing greater facilities
for manufacturing and richer mineral re-
sources than any in the Union. With soil
capable Of supporting population FIVE times
its present number, and with a thoroughfare
trsyersing its entire breadth, rendering it &C.
cessible from all directions, FARMLAND
would soon take rank among the most pros
porous sovereignties of the Confederation
But it is, perhaps, idle to talk about it al
present. and we have only alluded to The
subject 10 give our readers an intimation thai
its practicability was being privately discuss
ed among certain parties and will probably
be brought to the attention of the public in
the course of the next twelve months.
