pursuant to adJournment-pfeseht tAoh' I B. JOHNSON.
 5 The Steamboat Industry, Capt. John 2 son, arrived here on Friday morning last, from Cantonment Gibson, and after few hours detention, departed for Louisville. In replying to our Correspondent, < Fourche,' we deem 1t necessary, in the first place, to correct an error under which I he appears to labor, with respect to de- claration made by us in our prospectus when we declared our determination to have no connection with either of the par ties, ( whose infuriate zeal, has, for years, been a reproach to our country''-we ai- luded to the parties existing in the Terri tory, whose fury, iii 1897, could only be quenched by the blood of two of her citi- zens. We never meant to attempt state 5 of neutrality, with respect to the parties existing in the nation at large. Believing that the existence of our republic depends upon the existence of two great parties, who shall mutually watch, and be a check upon, each other, VI should consider our selves as deficient in republican zeal, if we did not take a stand with one of the parties. We have taken our stand in opposition to Eastern influence, and to the. Federal. or aristocratieal leaders of those states, who refused to avenge our wrongs during the last war, and who gave countenance and support to our enemies.
 That the President has the right to re- move fromfoffice improper rineumbents, and supply their places with more worthy men, is point conceded by all. That he has # removed many is fact-that many desery- l ed to be removed, is no less a fact-and if he has removed from office a greater num- berthan did any his predecessors, he lad greater reason for doing so. What can- I didate for the Executive chair, ever before vas so ealumniated, traducea and yilifed, as was Gen. JACKSON? Justly would he have deserved the contumely of his friends, # had he suffered men to remain in office, who had degraded themselves by such out rageous conduct as many ofthem had been ] guilty of; and equally ungrateful would he 4 have proved himself to his friends, had he i not rewarded them for their jealous sup 5 port. It IS not a new principle of action introduced by Gen. JaeksoR-he found it
 made to his hand-and if he has enlarged upon it, he had justifable right for so doing.
 Our Correspondent, :. Fourche,'' asks, "why Gov. Pope has, by his influence at Washington, secured the Public Printing for the Gazettea'' Wewill at present rem der no other answer than the old adage, Money makes the mare go.''
 The Honorable Secretary, perhaps, feels himself bound to follow in the footsteps of the " ooerseer Qfae Plantation
 If these reasons are not satisfactory to Fourche, 5 at future season we will ren- der others, and endeayor to show that po- i!icat rotteaness exists, but not with us.
 10 the Editor of the .4rkaasas .4dvoeate <
 SfR:-i have read your prospectus, in which you propose printing public paper at Little Rock, and in that prospectus you pledge yourself to devote your paper to the interests of this country, and disavow- Ing at the same time ss Gay connection qBitt parties, a0hose iafitriatie seal hos for gears 6eea c repfoaeh to our couatry," Sc. and you also profess an unequivocal predelic- tlon for the s' venerable patriot, y General Jackson. All this is admirable enough, and l feel willing to sustain you in your course, but there Is one point which is still 1nexplicable to me. Reform has been the watch word ofthe Iacksonians it commence ed with the highest officer, and has extend ed to the lowest, in the government; each Head of Department struggling with the others, to express in language more distinct and more clearly to be understood their conceptions of right, punishing most sig nally those who have had the hardihood to oppose, and rewarding to the mutual rami- hcatlon, where patronage could reach those partlsans who sustained General Jackson. Now, NIT. Editor, wish to enquire of you. why It IS that Goy. Pope, who has the su- peryislon or ooerseeing of this ptnHtation, called Arkansas, has procured through his 1hliuence, tAe fuoIic Printing, for the Ar kansas Gazette? The Editor of that pa per has moved on uninterruptedly in the channel of independent opposition, and continues to do so. And whyis 1t, that the Secretary of the Territory, who like Gov. Pope, is sucking the pap of Jackson and reform, patronises officially and individual ly, paper that is as opposite to him in po- titlcs as darkness is to light Has the At- Q nf Ar.tra +oJ A. h. Of their Jacksonism! or are you defective vour r,afifioo1
