who can compromise the1r honor for money with as much ease as they will certainly sacrifice you when they find it to be their interest.
 As you have now fairly assumed the attitude of a partizan Governor, and stopped from the dignity of your high station to ninglei in party strife, if your Excellency's bed should be bed oftor- ture, tis one of your own seeking; and in that party contest your Excelleney. perhaps, will find there will be blows to take as we'll as blows to give. And if your ExeelIency should be exposed to the scorn and contempt of all just men, you will not be entitled to the mercies and sympathies of this people.
 In your address to Mir. Crittenden, you take special pains tc give detailed history of personal and political parties, from the commencement of the Terri tory rp to present time-to see what you could find, or whether you could not find something by which to fix blot on the escutcheon of some individual or party, who is now the object of your deep and deadly hatred. Thus, sir, have you raked among the rubbish of by-gone fines, for thepurpose ofsweep- ing together mass of such things as, they are now old, the public good and the public health would have required you rather to have left in their state of dispersion. But lei me ask your Ex- cellency if there is not enough of vio- lence, heart-burnings, and bitter dis contents, created by your own admin istration, not to be over anxious to res cue from forgetfulness the extrayagan- ces of times past?
 In order to make good your charge against largo majority of the members of the last Legislature, whose conduct you have arraigned in all due form at the bar of the people, as being "dis- gnacetal" and "coiflpt,s and endorsed yourself their public prosecutor, in the first place, you endeayor to make Mr. Crittenden unpopsHlEsas. 2 nd odious to the people; in the second place, you hold him responsible for all the supposed oh- noxious acts ofthe Legislature, thereby hoping, that will make the last Legisla- ture also odious and unpopular with the people. To this end, you bend all the powers and energies of your mind, and exef.i ise all that subtlety and disingen- uousness for which you are so remarka- ble. For this purpose, you hold him responsible. not only for the acts of the Legislature, but also for all the per sonal violence and bitterparty strife that has been waged in the Territory; and what is still worse, you have made him the author, the alder and abcttor of all the duels that have been fought in the country for the last ten years. Can there be any thing behind more revolting than this? There is-you hold him re- sponsible for the editorial conduct of Bertrand, and every obnoxious piece that appears in the "Adyocate. Is not this little too hard? Can he not claim from your Excellency some ex- emption, when it considered thatwith the same propriety he can hold your E&cellency responsible for the edltoEial conduct of Woodruff, and all the ob- noxious pieces that appear in the .sGGa- zette," that tpolluted and shameless press?
 Let ff1e here again remind your Ex- cellency, that you lack worldly wisdom. The course that you and Woodruff, and other prominent members of your party are pursuing towards this gentleman, will, according to the natural result of things, inevitably persecute him into a popularity, If he acts with propriety and discretion,) that none of you will be able te destroy; and besides, your Ex- eellency is greatly mistaken when you take 1t for granted that Air. Crittenden is unpopular and odious to the people. Notwithstanding he has beenproscrbed by the federal authorities and turned out of otfice-notwilhstanding he has been greatly embarrassed iT i his pecu- niaFy circumstances, ard has tocontend with the influence of bitter enemies, who are now enjoying all the federal patronage of the country,-neyerthe- less, he may be considered popular man; at least as much or more so. than your Excellency is, or ever will be. Let me ask your Exeellency, in good sober earnest, if this is the way to pour oil upon the angry passions, 'Ire- store social harmony and redeem tl,e character of the town and country from therapeutics whichhave been brought on it," Let me assure your Exceliency
