 s. II y only regret IS, that the remarks made by me, relative to Gey. Pope, hare been the cause of miseonception with him, and have been thought of sufficient impor- tance to merit an especial notice, in his late address t to the Public.'
 It is not necessary for me at this time. to say that my statements were founded upon good authority; as the Governor does not deny them in his publication. He seems however 10 impute wrong motives to the writer. He says |. 1t Is strange that the Clay men there (lneaning KentuckY4 should through Mir, Bertrand assail me for the eHuslons of magnanimous feelings in congiyiai moment Now beg leave to assure Gov Pope, that / never intended to assall inn, or to make you the channel through which it should be done.
 ss v hen penned the extract referred to, believed that all was peace and ani- etness in the Territory; and sincerely wished it might remain so. knew aetA- Ing then of the party feuds engendering; ! know nothing now of the causes of tie excitement, which seems to have sprung mp Tn the country, more than gather from the newspapers.
 z l believed also at fhat time, in the sen- tlment since expressed by Governor Pope, = hat there IS political crisis approach ing, when parties must be formed upon great principles and questions of poliey'' and that 1t became the duty of every real friend of his country, and ioperof her in- stitutlons, to s' obey the dictates of his Judgment as to the best interests of the :" Republic, with little reference to men, nd l did not think it ssstrange' that Gov. Pope should ehonse ratHer 10 ing 10 those "lhterests 7 tia n t. any ia.ie 1aai, howey- CT highly he might esteem b H.
 q When ] said in icy for CT letter, that 1t was probable '' the reforming hand of the President would be again extended 10 Arkansas" l hope 1 was not understood fin reference to Gov .Pope4 as meaning, ti.at t Was ''consHmmation devoutly to be " isi- ed;' for although personally unacquainted with the Governor, I entertain for the private virtues ' am told he possesses, the highest admiration. 'Tis true. l am DO great admirer of his political course thus far through life; yet should with him, be "9. ms " oON stiO POOIilS Oi IAAh dtictS "deprived Of one good GoeerRor, before they are assured of another.''
 :" Notwithstanding, cannot but think that His Exeeilency, IS rather too sensi- tive. when 1t is suggested that he coin eidessia opinion (now-a-dsys if he could not once do sol with Alr Clay, in regard to matters of great national importance; as from his own showing, Mr. Clay is totef- abte good company, even for the Gorer9or # aY tbe .4rfaasas.
 ' am inclined 10 believe, that they both entertain thesame views, ia relation to the Tariff and Internal ImpfoTementss the great questions tat now agiiate the people of tbe U. States, and upon which, they will render a decision in tHe next e lection of President. And why let nc ask, sboaId they not agreel
 :" These arc certainly questions of vast magnitude, deeply involving :. the best in- terests of the ilepublic,' And l trust in God, for the peace and tranquility Of our country, that they may be decided fairly and finally, with but little reference to men.''
