The Arkansas advocate., 1830-06-30

I feet contempt for your effort, and express ed his derlsion in the boidest language. The only expression of his chagriae, was retaking from yoil the ssaAsstisssaee ;:ats,e- nage, which he had given you but few days ago, siiesgifleyy to yen, as given as doee0r for your coasisteacq, and ac- knowledgIng at the same time, that it was one of the most palpable strokesat the lib- critics of tie press, ever made in this gov ernment.
 Actuated by the same feeling of con- tempt which lie had expressed towards you, as the editor of public journal, he array 1 ed 1t against the voice of about eighty free men, and gave to a stranger, 9 nephew of l iGov. Pope's, an office, which enlanates from the people, exists in the people, and for which abuse of power, the people hold ]! him responsible. " hat sti5tcrfiire dues the Secretary now avail himself of, in or der to atone to an insulted people for his misconduct? Unwilling, and unable to withstand the torrent of public sentiment, which IS now levelled at him, he endeayors to skuik behind a recommendation which i pdtpor{s tosifaye been given bya Judge of our Superior Court, 10 Mir. Field, aclxnowl- edging ms capacity for the office, and re- 1 icommendlng him to Executive considera- tion. Ideny that His Honor, the Judge, did recommend A!r. Field! dsiaot deny It advisedly, but deny it on matter of fact. Mir. Kinney died on Friday night about IS-Judge Fulton stated on satur- 1 day morning about s, that he intended to Igive the office to MT. Field. Nir. Field went down before I2, on the same day, told the Judge that the Secretary intended to give him the office, and drequested the Judge to give hlm certificate Of his capacity the Judge examined him, found him quali- tied, and gave him certificate. What a farce! Predetermined as to the distri5u- ton of the office, he calls Judge Johnson's s certliicate of qualification, recommends ton to 4lf. Field for the office, and Is using that as breast work to he interpesed be- tween him and the public.
 We will even suppose, that Judge John- son did recommend Mr. Field: that re- commendation one year ago, should have had powerful weight; for there is not one individual in Judge Johnson's district, who l for an instant, can doubt his honor as a man, or hls capacity or integrity as a Judge, ard therefore, Judge Fulton would have been somewhat justified in his cen l duct. But how do facts stand exposed HoW- I HS 1ouNFSS5 aI the U. @faGeS. ln i their wisdom, have thought properto take from the Judges the power Of appointing Clerks, and have placed that power in the hands of the people, { eraby placing Judge
 sehnsets rccoIlslie elldtatien on Q level with that of any other individual; yet Judge Fulton, whilst he acknowledges one part oi the late law, which vests in him the power lof filling vacancies Tn office, appears to have forgotten that the office emanatas from the people, and places the name of a l private individual in opposition 10 the wish es ofseventY or eighty of hepeople of this tewnshiRa ] respect Judge Fulton indi- yidually, and be may feel assured of my lslacerity, for the confession is 8 aratsitous epe, and am sorry that he has suffered Ihimself to be thrust into the van of the eenflict, to meet the brunt of indignation. He should have waited for Gov. Pope; the same results would have occurred, and the Governor has So many political sins alrea- dy on his shoulders, that he would have considered this additional offence as ne- thing aut the deed is done, the offence is irrecialmahle, and though not ss prophet
 nor the son Of a prophet" predict, that the voice of the people will be heard.
