Nlr. BERTRA Sn.---Pe ermit me through the medium of your paper, to make a few oh- servatlons upon an occurrence which has recently taken place in our county: without offering any predatory remarks, 1 will state the circumstances alluded to. l hope you will pardon so brief an introduction, or my thus lntruding myself so unceremoniously upon your notice, as 1t IS a case in which our common interests are deeply involved.
 On the 2ath ut. the office ofClerk Of the Superior Court, became vacated by tho death of David E. M'Kinney, Ese. It Is generally known that this office Is usually
 filled by the vote of the freemen of this Territory; and 1t may perhaps be known, that by late act of Congress, 1t devolves upon tho Executive, to fiji such vacancies as may occur, either by death, resignation, or-otherwise. The citizens. aware of this fact, or aware that such an act had passed both Houses of Congress, although it had net then officially reached Arlsansas-soon after the decease of Mir. M'kinney, got up a petition, which was signed by a large and respectable portion of them, humbIy re- questing His Honor, the Secretary, to sup ply the vacancy, by the appointment of Col. Charles Caldwell, an old settler of ' thought not only capable, but worthy to fill the office; and one too, who, if 1 am not misinformed, had discharged the duties of the office, for some time, during the illness of the former occupant, with honor to him. self, and giving full satisfaction to those who presided over the Court. But it ap- pears that this application was to late; for, as ] have since been told. the appointment was half given to MT. Field, before Mr. M M'kinney was inferred.
 It might have been supposed, that His Honor, the Secretary, after receiving this decided expression of the swill of the people, would have considered for mo- ment, and at least have weighed the opin- ions Of those who had expressed wish, that Col. Caldwell should fill the office. But no. his aciN was fixed, and he was de- terminedto appoint MT. Fields. Now, sir, have no personal dislike to Mir. Field, nor have l any particular predilection for Col. Caldwell, but sir, } am one of those, sifo, 10 say nothing of air. Fields being almost perfect stranger among LIS. think that the peoples will sn,nld be the la4v of the land, and cannot think it pareiy republican spirit in any man or set ef men,

 In the first number of the Advocate, we
 gave pledge to the public, that should
 collision arise between ourselves and the
 Gazette, 1t should originate with the Edi-
 tor of that paper. In the succeeding num-
 Der of the Gazette, the Editor pledged
 himself not to give occasion for breach of
 friendship. How these mutual pledges
 have been kept, is known to the public.---
 We have not violated our pledge, but the
 Gazette has added one more breach of faith
 to those formerly made to the public. The wanton and unprovokea attack made onls in tbe Gazette of the sth inst. shows how utterly regardless of honor, and how undeserying ofconfdence, is the edi- tor of that paper. When he made that pledge, we felt conscious, from our knowl- edge of the man, thatit would soon be vii olated. His jealous mind is incapable of pa- tiently witnessing any thing like opposi- tlon to his avarice, which would eagerly grasp at all, and still be unsatiated. The unprovolxed, and consequently, un- lustiiable attack which he has made upon us, will manifest to the public, the vindic- tive malice of his lille aa.a.a, drawn forth through Erecutiue influence, perhaps de-
 rafsded, as a reward for Eaeeutire patro- snage.

We cannot forego acknowledging the kind and geatlemaafp treatment lately ex-
 tended to us, by our. friend of the Gazette. Perhaps he will remember, (although he is
 rather forgetf1l,) ) that Col. SEVER, who re- turned few days since from Washington,
 for the purpose of informing his consfitu- ents of the condition of their public affairs, brought with him copies of some two or ] three Acts, of deep intereststo the people of this Territory, together with a number of late Washington papers.-4HHThen he ar uved atthe residence of Judge Johnson, his father-in-law, he handed the Acts, pa- pers, Nc. to friend, who had also been absent, and was on bis return, requesting him to hand them to Woodruff, upon con- condition, that he, Woodruff would fur nish the Editor of this paper with copies of the several Acts, and also that he would make division ofsaid papers, in time for us to make such selections as we deemed necessary, for this day's paper. How far SuA - tcftt Oi LiG NdHEttC SoHtp1IEu Wiln the request of Col. SEVER, we win now en- deavor to show.
 The Acts and papers were accordingly received by our.f3aead, and on tue followa ing day, Monday last, he sent us teoo pa pers, viz: a Richmond and Philadelphia pa- per, from which he had been kind enough to cut every syllable of Congressional or other matter worth extracting g-.y yester- day about p o'clock, he had the goodness to send us two Washington papers, reduced by his scissors to mere skeletons, which were of just as much use to Us, as an old number of his Gazette.-'Fhe acts alluded to, we have never yet got a sight of.
 The only inconvenience to us, likely to result from this Faakse Trick, is, that we shall be compelled todefer until next week, the publication of the several Acts above mentioned.
 To Col. SEVER, we tender our thanks, we take the will for the deed.

After weeks mature ieiiberation, Lit- tp Billy, of recuntatioa memory, has pre- sented to his readers, two short uuitHeiii-5 gi5le paragraphs, intended, no doubt, as a sort of reply to the remarks contained ia cur last.
 The latie .fsllos0 appears quite wrathy, and makes desperate exertior to be very facetious, with his merrily throwing of foots caps, Sc. though we are inclined to think, that when he happens to De merry enough to make a .tool's cap, it will fit him. self best. How vainly he struggles to turn a few truths We told him in our last, into ridicule. We imagine we can see him now, writhing and foaming under our lash, and biting his neither lip for very spite. But 1t won't do Billy; 'tis impossible for lcop- ard to change his spots, and it is. equally impossible for you to be any thing but a rank federalist ofthe Hartford Convention stamp, irr spite ofgeur eEv ffaagle,di a3efHoo- raey. To be serious though, Billy, we
 
 have it in contemplation to publish little book, showing to the vesld in what rela- tion some of the paeseat democrats, stood in regard to truly republican principles, a few years since, and probably your name may be conspicuous on it's title page, and your ideas found throughout the volume.
 With these brief remarks we will dis miss the little Pup Of the Gazette, not having time nor inclination, at present, to play with him any longer.
 The " scurrillous and abusive efusions,' y of the sage little Editor of the Gazette, in noticing the public denial of N. CuN- NINeHAN, (who is now absent.) of the charge preferred against him, by the com- bination of eoiseocres, will, we presume, on his return, Should he deem this eoatempti- ble pappg worthy of his notice, be respon- ded to,

troler of the Treasury. As the President if he

The National Inteliigencer of Tuesday, gives the
following synopsis of the transactions of Congress on
Monday. 1t elsewhere states, that whether Jpdoc

Congress- would probably depend on himsef--as. If
he required time to bring evidence from Missouri It
would of course, be allowed him.

In the Senate, yesterday. due order was taken for
constituting that body Court of impeachment with
view to receiving the charges against Judge Peck.
which the House of Representatives has given mo-
tce of its intention to exhibit. Some time was supnt
upon Mr. Benton's Land Graduation Bill, which was
afterwards laid on the table, his motion The b1ll
prescribing the mode of commencing, prosecuting.
and deciding controversies between Suites was the,
again taken up, and Mr.. Robbins having concluded
his argument III favor of it, the Senate adjourned.
In the House of Representatives, after petitions
and reports had beeR presented, the Tennessee Land
Bill was discussed, and finally rejected by majority
Of 81 votes. The House then went into COMMITTEES
of the Whole, aud after unsuccessful! motion by
Mr. Bell to take up the Indian Bill (Which was neg
atived by majority of votes) the committee re-
sumed the consideration Of the bill to alter the tar
la laws MIR. Blair, of S. G.. spoke IN support of
Mr. McDufiies amendment; and Mir. Davis of S. G..
having obtained the floor, the Committee rose
