The state of Michigan.—The question is frequently asked by strangers in this country, "when will you be admitted as a state?" For the information of persons at a distance, we state that the calculation here is as follows:
On the 4th of July, 1826, half a century of our national independence will be completed. On that day by the admission of Michigan and Arkansas, the number of states will be doubled, and instead of the original thirteen, there will be twenty-six states in the confederacy.
This calculation, we believe, is warranted by our present prospects.
