 But my intention inthis communication
 was not solely to pronounce an euiooium upon Col. Seyier, but 10 make some san- ments upon the text, as quoted from "Re. l publiean.''
 1t cannot at this late hour he said w;th the most remote possibility of its pain;nc any kind Of currency, tlat the friends If l Col. Desha are "bargaining for the best l offices of The land;o such an assertion iSso l far from even plausibility, that am much surprised at its being hinted at. The l friends of Col, Desha perhaps may have 9Sharganed," but that bargain or league # any, Was entered into for the very purpose ] of pntting down the ills complained of. 1 Who is Ii h Arkansas, so blind, as not to
 see where this same ssbartering and bar. gaining" for corrupt purposes exists, from
 what source it efnanates2 Are not those l unfriendiy to the ambitious views of the l powers that he in Arkansas, prescribed and ] hunted down! Are not men who honestly l differ with them in opinion threatened with 1 political death! Has not the shout. of 1 2Otitirdi cross been raised? and are we not. threatened with such crueifxion---withp DO.
 litieai extermination! Has not the voice
 pt the Delegate been raised against men in office, rho were eonseientiouslY opposed
 to him? and has not there been aR instance
 of that voice being listened to by the Chief Maeistrs te of the Union, and an individual 1 hurled from ofice4 I do not know what 1 insinnations were nsed to the Chief Magis.

 l As to his talents, all will acknowledge, l when they give the subject an impartial l.investigatioD, that they are of an order far |from being inferior to Sevier's. While he
 takes hold of a subject and firmly grasps
 it sriih lis giant mind, makes himself mas IteT of all lis bearings, and gives firm and l free expose Of it, Col. SeYer observes it
 suPerfcially, ard without ever perfectly 1nderstanding if, gives it; one sided to bis I audience, with long. loud and successive l peals of laughter. But as 10 the talents Of the twoimen, the public can discern " ich
 IS the mosts splendid, and it seems to me an unfit subjectfor writer to handle; suffice 1 1t 10 say, Col. Desha needs no sycophantic i adulatian, and be hi. talents what they
 may ,ethe public can find them without pilot.
 l. Tiaeletorogenious materials which form l'the present parties in Ark insas, have been 1 frequently spoken of, and if there IS reason
 Of surprise on one side, there is ahundant-s 1 r more to condemn on the other. Seyier's
 politirai-cennexion are Of the most singu- l lar cast, and his rider our " good Govern I or,' more singular than any. Sevier has ever endeavored to sustain him in spite ot
 his known apostacy, for what reason It IS
 impossible 10 determine. " Republican
 says tire opposition to Governor Pope waa
 solely "because he was Governor they were | not" The reason of Pope's unpopularity in Arkansas may he traced to his own poe litical course; if has been long known that ! he supported no side, or no question, where
 there was the remotest probability Of conflict with his own interest---bnt the gentleman has almost universally mtssed4 1 1t in some shape or other, and now Ire has l left his flock in the care Of another shep-
 herd, sought Kentucky, and report says l has snccessively offered himself to eo'h l parties in that state, but II appears they
 are willing to dispense with his cataaoH
 services, and perhaps he may return 10 his
 1" distant plaHfafioao to seek for coHsoia

 not be either Jackson senator or Clay re-
