Mr. WHliama had bee a prominent representative in Congress, and had been latterly actios as one of the commissioners to adjudicate our conflicting land claims. It was not a position to add to one's popularity, and Mr. Williams was not a nan or conclli atory address. He was rather re- pulsiTe and peremptory, to please the courtly and refined people among whom he resided. The Re. publicans iu the territory had strongly recommended Col. Cato West, Secretary of the Territory, d its most efficient leader. But Mr. Williams belonged to a very influential family ot Jeffersonlan republicans in North Carolina a State that required some nursing at that juueture, and it we deem ed expedient to confer ou him the appointment, lie arrived at tne town of Washington, January 26th 18C5. and was welcomed by a pub lic dinner presided over by tne rtMrable Judge Rodney aud Thomas U.

The tt land reform is one of the greatest of these questions, and the following few lines will chow that he deals with it plainly: An other subject of great importance la the law qfeutailaud settlement. You hold that it is a restraint upon the agriculture ol the country, heartily agree with you. I approve of the abolition of the relation on social aud on moral grounds. disaprove of the relation which it creates bctweeu the father and eldest sou. I dissaprove of the manner iu which it makes provl sion for the children yet unborn' Was there ever a stranger expedi ent In the history of the world In the case of a gentleman dying inestate, the estate goes to the eldest sou. This is not as It should be. The provision for the children is not made by tho free ill of the father, but of the grandfather. If there is one law written more distinctly than another upon the constitution of human society by the finger of the Almighty, It is that the parent responsible tor providing for the child. But thelaw of England wiser than the Almighty; it tin proves upon Divine Providence. It won't trust the father to make provisions for his son; it calls iu the aid of the gramliather, ana commits to him tho functions of the pareut, and thus iutroducej a false and unnatural relation into the constitution of that prima ry element of society, the sacred constitution of the family. Not only to liberate agriculture, but upon other grounds, and upon wuat I thtuk tlllluighor grounds. I will help lo do awny with litis law of settlement and entail."

My grandfather was a frierid, aud of many a well fought Hold a ' comrade In arms, of the Hotman Platoff. Platoff gave my grand- father a clever little steppo horse which he brought to England and had In hi stable for many years The horse was a great favorite and hi business was to carry an uncle of mlio, then a boy, now happily, alivoaud well. Last summer I had a long conversation with my uncle, of which I made note. I cannot at this moment refer to tho njte, as It is In the country. He told me that regularly every spring the Httle steppe horse bled himself by opening a vein with his teeth I think my uncle said on the arm or leg.
