ItT* The following extracts from a
Pamphlet entitled “ Reflexions on the
subject of a division of the Mississippi
Territory,” supposed to have been writ
ten by Judge Toul.uin, cmt&ius interest
ing topographic- information.
Toe average oread.h of the Mississippi
Territory is uoout 315 miles, ami its ave-
r vge length, from north to south, is about
280 miles. There are at ptesent yome
settlements in every part of the Territo
ry, to which the Indian title has been ex
tioguisiied. Toe most compact settle
on;Iks are thtise on the west side of Pear!
river, especially adjacent to the Missis-
•ippi river, those in the county of Madt-
*j-i ou thehorth side of the Tennessee
river, and those in the counties of Wash
ington and Clarke, on the Tombighy—
Tue li'ie of division proposed in the bills
n >w before thelL-use ot Representatives
will leave th« settlements west of Pearl
river in the proposed state, and will place
the settlements ot Midison County in the
' no th, anil of the I’omuigby in the south,
in the newly constructed Territory. The
settlements of the Pascagota and its wa
ters, which are separated from the Mis
sissippi country by a wide trust of wilder
ness laud, will become, by this arrange
ment, a part of the new state : although
all their nahics of intercourse are exclu
sively with the eastern country.
Tilts plan of dividing a Territory,
which has for so many year* continued
Under the s .me government, is s'rongly
lemons.rated against in Hu memorial of
a contention of deiegues from three-
f,,art ns of tile counties in the Mississippi
T' rt ttory.
Tne piatt of a division, if it be suppor
ted at all, must be supported, it is um-
eciveti, by regarding it as necessary to
the general iiuertst of the nation, or to
the convenience and welfare of'he par
ticular part of the count: y which will be
lli .re itnm. dutely <iff cud by it.
1. The first question, therefore, is, ri
the general lot crests of the nation require
that the Mississippi Territory should he
divid'd previously to its admission into
the Union ? Ie is admitted, that it do."
comprehend a tract of country, more ex
tensive than any state now existing:but
its capacity to sustain a considerable po
puution may, notwithstanding this civ -
cam stance. be far inferior to that ot many
siiues, of even a moderate size. Should
this be the cas;, there can surely he no
danger tuat die proposed state will, at
same fu.ure day, acquire an immoderate
weight in h councils of tin Uni n
Tnegeiiv-rd character of t he count rt
lying between the Mississippi river and
Geo gi i, has not, perhaps, been hereto
fore accurately understoxl. It has ftv
q lendy neen described with reference to
1 md b it-deririg immediately on its rt
ve. s incrJy : and it is with a view to the
settlement* which can be made i r. land ol
that descripti -n, that th sc great emigr.y-
ti .us tre made, which are directed to-
wu-ds ill it country. It appears, howe
ver, to be a fact pretty well ascertained,
that by far the largest part of tlu Misai. -
sippi Territory exhibit nothing to th.
view,hut poor pine woods, intersected In
w tier courses, on the margins of many of
which there is land which invites settk-
rnetit, and will reward cultivation. .
The land district east of Pearl river,
*port a thick population may be formed!
.com this circu nstance : that although it
has been partially settled for so long a
period of time ; although land was grant
ed by the Spaniards with great liberality ;
and although a ltind office has been open
for several years; yet it appear** from
the late census, that its populate.o dots
not exceed 40 000, of whom nearly one-
half are colored people.
Indeed nothing can be more decisive as
to the want of capacity in the Territory,
generally, to support a large population,
than the remarkably slow progtess it has
made. Other new countries have filled
tip rapidly and have become states. The
character of the Mississippi Territory for
aiuable lands, h .s been high at a dis
tance. The public attention has beet
called to it; and yet it has fallen remark-
ibly shoit of other Territorial districts in
the increase of its population. The ter
ritory north west of the river Ohio and
the Mississippi Territory stood, some
what more than twenty years ago, upon
tlmost an equal footing as to popu ation ;
ye' the farmer has produced - wo itourist)
mg states and two territories, whilst thf
latter still continues in the condition of a
province. This has not been owing to
the want of a i/uanticy of Und to admit
a numerous population, but to the defect
.f its quality. From the Tombigby to
lie Mississippi it is an extensive country,
and had it been a fertile count! y, it would
lung ago have been entitled to give a new
star to the American flag. If i.s pro
gress in population be compare^, with
. nist of the state of Ohio, the difference
will be found to be so remarkable, that
ve cannot help enqa-rlng into the cause
f it: and a cause sutii i- ntly obvious and
powerful is f.iuud in the sterility of its
soil The popuiati n of the state of Ohio
■ii the year 180U, was 42,179, but in the
year 1810 it was 23U.760, which gives an
annual increa-e ot neailv 19,000.
On the other hand, the population o-
the Mississippi Territory in the year
UiiO was 40,352, and in 1816 it was
7s 6<i4 This period was rem -vkable for
he exiinguishim lit of Indian claims, and
for an extraordinary emigration, occa-
ioned by the attention winch was drawn
o the country by the splendid victories of
General Jackson, and the military expe-
i. ions to it, in which such vast bodies of
lilitia were engaged. Yet the annual
ucrease in this -x • -ordinary period, lias
aot been more than -ix thousand, whilst
hat of the state of Oiiio was nearly nine-
■‘en thousand ; and yet the quantity of
and in tlie Mississippi territory, to which
be Indian title has been extinguished,
cannot be less than that in the state of
)hio, which is said to amount to ab-ut
>9 U00 square miles. Bu' a difference of
vil points out an obvious distinction be
vi cn the two countries, and is sufficient
to induce a belief* that the states of Ohio,
if Indiana, and of Kentucky, may bee- me
great and leading states, whilst a s ate
o.nposcd if the whole of the Mississippi
lb rrirot-y wdi obtain only a very subordi-
iate standing.

“ What a wonderful river, communica
ting with the sea by the head and the
oouih !” He went to the Mameiles ; was
enchanted ; and went back at the break
if day, to enjoy, from that celestial spot,
the beautiful spectacle of I he rising sun
“ Thence he went to Portage ties Sioux
tnd breakfasted with Madame S** # **,
a french woman. Seeing the house filled
with children, he asked how m my she
had? The lady answered, “ Nineteen,
now ! “ And how many did si: have ?"
“ Two and Twenty !”—“ And where hud
the lived all this while ?”—“ In Portage
ties Si-iux !” Upon whi it the General
remarked, that her husband was a good
companion, and tliat our country would
