The Arkansas advocate., 1830-08-11

.avocate it shall receive due attention next week
 The reply of GEO. W. FERrBEE, to Mr. Woodruff, on the subject of certain let Ger. has been received, but too late for in .srtion to-day. Tn our next it shall be at tended to.
 On the first page of this days paper, ~;u be found Gov. PopE's address to the nublic, copied from the Gazette, into our coIumns, at his particular request.
 It is not to be presumed that we would ,ublish this address without comment-an Address which no candid and impartial man will deny, is objectionable in many partic- ulars. But 1t is not our present intention to notice or point out the numerous objec- 2 sttiionabie parts therein contained, other than those in which we are intimately con- cerned.
 Gov. Pope, in the first place, denies his having, last winter at Washington City, directly or indirectly, endeavored to effect the removal of Sam c. Roane, U. s. Dis trict Attorney. This may be true, but we beg leave to think otherwise, and for this Yeason :-Col. sevier, in conversing with young gentleman of high responsibility, Ia citizen of this Town,) on miscellaneous subjects, told him that Gov. Pope commu- nicated to him, fSevier,) his wish to have Mr. Roane removed, and Col. Ashley ap- pointed his successor-in reply to this pro- position of the Governors, Col. Sevier re- marked, that he saw no good reason why Mir. Roane should be removed, and Col. Ashley or any other gentleman appointed to succeed him. This, we are persuaded, Gel. Sevier will not deny. This too, brings the matter directly at issue between Gov. Pope and Col. Seyier, and if they can set tie it between themselves, to their own satisfaction, (although the public have right to know something about itl we as- sure them we shall not interfere. We should not now have said word upon the subject, had 1t not been that the charge above alluded to, was preferred against the Governor, through the columns of our . paper, and we felt bound to show to the public, that charges contained in commu- uications, published in the Advocate, are not, as the q Jaw-Bone" faction have en- deavored to make them believe, entirely destitute of truth. This subject we have ID desire to prosecute, and sincerely hope to be under the necessity of saying nothing more of the Governors attempt to remove an officer who is said to have discharged his duty with fidelity,
 We will now advert to that part of Gov. Pope's communication, where he says, Git E. IS strange that the Ciay-men there, tmean- ing kentucky,) should, through MT. Der trand, assaii me for the effusions of mag unanimous feelings in coRviviai moment.', This assertion is not only ungenerous but untrue. We deny that the Governor has been assailed through us, by Clay-men in Kentucky, S for the effusions of magnani- nous feelings in cenvivial moment. If sssailed he has been, 1t has been by US alone, and not by Ciay-men in Kentucky, ar any where else. We would inform the Governor, that we are not yet, and hope we never shall be, so entirely lost to every high minded and honorable feeling, as 10 make ourself the channel, EditorialIy, through which others may assail him or
 
 any other man. If the vile and defaming Editor of the Gazette, is one of those sort of fellows, has the Governor any right to presume, because we conduct a public journal, that 1t follows as matter of course, we are of a like stamp? No Sir, when we think public man deserves the lash, we assail him fearIessly, without con- s'iitiag others, and arc alone responsible for our acts-acts which we dare particular member of the ( Jaw-Bone" dynasty, to call us to an account for.
 We would like for the Governor to ;n= form us, when and where, and in what way , De has been assailed by the Editor of this paper, through the influence of Clay-men in Kentucky. Has he reference to the num- hers of the 's Signs of the Times?" If SO. we candidIy admit, as we stated at the time, that the extracts contained in the first number, under the aforesaid head were taken from priuute letter, received from much valued and esteemed friend, | l
