The Arkansas advocate., 1830-06-02
To Me Editor of Me .Adpocate.

When the article which appeared in your paper signed e' Fourcheo was penned. had not the most remote idea of doing you an unkindness: The only object l had in view was toput in a corrective; to arrest as far as was practicable, an apparent affinity that was growing up, between the Jackson and Adams men of this place. l thought 1t only necessary to sound an alarm, when the banner of Jaeksonism would have been displayed, with the principles of'9S engra- ven upon 1t in letters of Gold, and that the reformists to man would have hocked to the standard, ready to defend, CT die with the CoastitutiontY ] saw your principles questioned by the Louisville Advertiser. y the editor of which paper, IS the mouth- piece of the Pope family in Kentucky. and l thought 1t an excellent opportunity, to bring you out on your politics: l effected my wishes; the consequences of your indis
 eretion, in being independent, are well known to the public, and presume sorelv felt by you.
 Although you may feel bound, Hole g, ooleRS, to subscribe to the tr1isin of feudal times, that ss might gifes 1,ight.'' vet [ hope that as an editor ofa public press, and as the guardian of the peoples rights, you will not stand idly by, and see the great principles, which, while they have elevated Gen. Jackson to the Preside encY, have, dis traeted this government, have arrayed son against father, brother against brother. friend against friend, mersed into petty Territorial party, and suffer the gentiIes to eat the toayes and fishes that are the rightful property of the children of Israel! There exists in this place at this time a political enigma, an anomaly which would perplex the Vicar of Bray himself. Pros criptiun has heen lost sieht of, and the giant reform has received his quicfus. 4 Jackson Postmaster has been reformed by Adams men, to make room for another .faeksonian. and a Jackson Editor has been prescribed by a Jackson Executive, to mske room for an Adams Editor. One rood turn deserves another, but if the Jackson lies expect somerset from the editor of the sTazette, as a subsequent justification Tor their neglect of principles, they may despair; he may squint and squint at jacksonism, as he has done of late, but iie will go no farther-he has too vivid q recollection of by-gone times to dare It. The files of the Gazette, stand as a history Of the times. and such mass of matter can be collected from them and brought up in judgment against him, that the executive patronage cannot even sustain him. He Is now dancing to Jack son music, but its for wager; he may love the exercise, but take my assurance he heartily hates the tune--but perhaps a new era is approaching in Arkansas, for verily believe that political millennium has commenced, and hope that 1t will be ex- tended to ss earth's remotest bounds, . the Jacksonites and Adamites have become here, one great fansiiy, impeiled by the same affections, restrained hy the same preludices, and united by a common in terest-how unfortunate that this praise worthy forbearanee, had not commenced years ago. What individual heart burn ings would have been spared-5ut 1t is Bow too late. The Adams men expect no mercy, they have received none, they a. vait with perfect apathy their deserts-for the Jackson men have exacted, and con tinue to exact, in every other part of the union, except Godly Arkansas, their pound of flesh.
