 DEAR SIR-'Fhc correspondents of the Advocate" have certainly given good account of the Ten Section Bill. l am much gratifed to hear, of late, frcquent acknowledgements of conviction, from per sons who had formed thcir opinions of this matter, from the false dictum of Gov. Pope's veto. In truth, 1 was aware, (as every person Of common sense must have bceDl, Chat when the question was strip cd of the sophisticated robe with which Gov. Pope had clothed it-that when it stood dsvested of the flimsy envelop ofBilly Woodruf's falsehoods, and cleansed from the bespatcring of the Governors numer- ous slang whangers, here and in Ken lucky, 1t would stand approbated by the nnion of honesty and common sonse throughout the Territory.
 The Governor and his people had taken HHte rise on the false controversy with which they had surrounded the Ten Sec lion Bill. But this mans reign of ofduplici- y IS certainly over in Arkansas. ltseem- cd to me strange, that man who had rem dered himself so ridiculous, as the Govern CT had since his arrival in the Territory by his outlandish efforts to gain popuIari- ty, could possibly gain credence enough with any man of common sense to lead him as,stray so far as to change his opinion on the subject of this bill.

Sevier's late law, giving to the Go. vernon the power heretofore vested in the General Assembly, to dispose of this fund IS considered here as most unwarranta ole encroachment upon the rights of the people. It Is favoriag the growth of aris tocraey too much for the democratic prin ciples of the people of this county. They say, and very wisely too, that this fund was given for tbeir benefit, to be disposed of by the representatives. of ftteir choice, wh, are responsible to hien, and it is for them 10 decide whether their repres entatiye acted Tn good faith or not, always retain Ing to themselves the power to condemn or orapprove. It is now, from Col. Seyier' af'sfoefatic law far othe rwise--it IS takcr out ot the hands of tie people, and it's dis posal gwen to an atien Gouera0r, irrespon aole to them; and who, when he helc ohice by the nntrammeled suffrage of tht people ot Kentucky, was found 10 be m trustworthy, and became proverbial fol As treachery and infdelity to his constit uen.s, and could never again restore tht ..e0nhdence of the people so far as to ge .ueif suitrages for any office. ct this i. a .le man in whom our Delegate roposes i'm portant trusts, in preference to FORTY q s,shF of the representatives of tue people 2 anom he, in effect, denounces as corrupt E rus IS saying little indeed for the people 'of .heir love of virtue and discernment sy call their representatives, the mer .Ho'n they have selected as the guardian, Nue'r liberties and rights, corrnpt..
