 To the Hon. THOMAS P. EskRIDoE:
 hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man can play part. | f5HAkEsPEARE.
 In a former communication it W as strong fly minated, that the remarks relative to 1 your official conduct would be continued, so long as your determination to depart from the law, and live out of the limits of l your Circuit.
 Now, Sir, as there is some odd notions entertained as to the act of Congress, and l the power of the Legislature in authoriz- ing you to live within your circuit, I will endeayor to show the law, with such eluci- datory remarks as common sense would dictate, and show every man within your circuit, the gross and paipabIe manner you have violated the jaw and their undenia- bic and vested rights as citizens.
 Rest assured, Judge Eskridge, fWiIliam Paiey and your church to the contrary notwithstanding !" that the more one lslekens, the worse at ease he Is j; and that the property of rain is to wet, and fire to burn that good pasture makes fat sheep; and that great cause of night, istiie lack of the sun; that he that hath learned no wit hy nature or art, may complain of good breeding, or come of a very dull kindred" :" The above aphorism has been admitted from time imfnemorial, and will not by you be denied; but they are not more lucid and convincing than the law, which compels you to live in your circuit; both of which. l IS far more evident than your nomination 1 by President Jackson. do not wish to produce political spasm, or disconeert the natural equanimity or composure of l your nerves by an intimation of your no- imitation next winter, as intend that sub- IJect for separate aad distinct number. In the last act of Congress granting us fourth .tndge, " ind tAAe second section read thuss-"' That when said judge shall have been commissioned, the Legislature of the Territory of trlsansas shall be ati- l thorized to organise the counties of said Territory into four judicial districts, and assign to each of the judges of the Superior 1 Court of the Territory of Arkansas. one iof said circuits C. districts, and to require said judge to hold circuit or district courts in each county of their respective districts, at such places and time as the Legislature I aforesaid may appoint and designate.o Here, Judge 8skridge, Is the stronecst possible implied power that could De grant led legislative body, and so tboRglt the Legislature Of Is27-28. for in drawing up the bill forming a judicial system for the ] Territory of Arkansas, VIC will find in sec tien fonr-s' That 1t shall he, and is here 1 by made tAe duty of the judges of the sSu- 1 peHof Court, to reside III the circuit here- after respectively assigned them, Ssc.- Here the Legislature has expressed in di- rect terms your duty, which is recognised l by Congress in the Sth section of the reeit- ed act. s That the act of the Legislature of the Territory of Arkansas, passed at the tast session Of the Legislature of said Ter ritery in relation tethe courts of said Ter ritory, so far as the provisions of said act are not inconsistent with, and repuenant to, this act, De, and the same is hereby af- 6rmed until said Legislature may alter or modify the same. D Here IS common sense eClaircissement of the law and your official duty. What thinks your Honor? do you stand acquitted or condemned be- fore tho good citizens of your circuite or Ido you rely on their forhearance and good mature, and think even if they know their wrongs, they have not public spirit enough to defend them? or do you rely on your dignity, importance and judicial statioi and trust all your equivocal promises and abuse of a judicial trust to their ignorance and want of capacity to find them out?-- On this point you ill find yourself deceiv. i cd-aot the people whom you have at. tempted to dupe and delude.
 i For your own information, on closing the last sentence, will quote few lines from Shakespeare's s comedy, of the Tuning eftbe shreao:--
 iss What, is the jay more precious than the
 lark,
 { Because his feathers are more beautiful! } Or is the adder better than the eel,
 Because his painted skin contents the
 cye!o
 Oris judge better than common citizen, Because with tdttte brjef authority he is
 dressed?
 Your Honor may be better conversant with human nature, than the humble wri- ter of scriblerns Radical; but was early taught the right of repeIling aggressiens when wantonly made by an usurpation ol power, and when you. !! Honor talk es a few rounds with the mighty, alias the people, lyeu will find yourself prostrate ere you know 1t, by that well known engine ts The rebuking force of public opinion"
