sbers atsthelr dwellings, but it's father find. ing his bantling would be indignantly thrown under the tdbse, wisely declined it's introduction into the house. ! would now ask if ' Iustice" w;ll pronounce such poll. ticalsman9uvreing to get to Washington, as worthy the high approximation which he : deems due to al! the acts of the Gov6rnor.
 ne Governor did go to Washington, uns solicited and at his ot1n erpense, and what great good did he effect ss Justice'' will confer favor, by pointing out aay one oJ- Ejeet, secured through the influence of Gov. Pope's presence, or through his aid to Col. Sevier.
 Previous e the GcYsrnorss= =siiepaTttiT5 from the territory, dinner was given to him---at that dinner. in reply to the toast held in such reverence by ' Justice, Gov. Pope made one of his grand oratorical dis- plays, and delivered himself of famous dinner speech--a speech which has been :. published in the leading papers of the Union, and probably made an impression generally favorable" to his high reputation as a table orator--a speech which filled with disgust every one who heard it, ex- cept two or three sycophants, and even they were ashamed of it--a speech, which ii suffered to nave died as soon as 1t was delivered, would not have produced so ex- tensiye and lasting an impression--but it was the speech of Coy. John Pope, and must De handed down to pesterity, and af- ter two or three days revision, it eraced the columns of tho Gazette, and thence fonnd it's way throughout tiae# Union. would pay more attention to this celebrated speech, but having already extended this communication to greater length than first intended, will conclude by rem ark Ing, that short time previous to the Goy- ernor'sd sdeparture for Washington. he knew that another paper was about to be estab- iisfad ai little hock, and strongly disap. proved of the measure. Why did he dis- approve of the establishment of another press! Why did his particular friends de- precate the measure! The reason is clear and evident. He had attached himself to the party who had the whole control of the Gazette--he had secured that press in his favor, and he feared another press might expose his political juggling, and bring to view his Glayism while in the enjoyment of the ioaves and fishes bestowed on him by Gen. Jackson. Thus is Gov. Pope's pub- lie spirit to be estimated by his own self interest--so far as his own ambitious views can be advanced does his love for the pub- lie wea! astend-bi;t any measure tilat iS like tosthwart his political views, meets his disapprohation, however loudly the public geed may call for 1t.
 In conclusion, deny that Gov. Fopo possessed that popularity aseribed to him at the time he was about to leave the Ter rltory for W ashington, on the countrywide was as unpopular, and more so, than any Governor this Territory ever had, and . large majority of the members of the Ie- gisiature, left Little Rock strongly preju- diced against him.
