 My DEAR SRA short time since, the editor of the Gazette was pleased to make alluslon tethe principle that should govern the appointing power, in making seec- tions for office 1t is asked, by the yeri- table Mr. Woodruff, if we expect Col. Se- Yier to get his enemies appointed 10 office. In reply, we beg leave to assure him that we never suspected him of the possession of so much magnanimity, as we have long sncc been satisfied that his every act pro- eeeds from and is intimately connected with self advancement But the position obviously intended to be assumed by tbe managers of the Gazette, that none should he appointed to office but those who are politically friendly 10 the appointing pow CT, is parndor, refuted without argu- nent, and principle subversiye of the true ends of government. We are aware, however, that it is the fayorte policy of certain great men Of the present day; but few inde have had the unblushing eifron- tery openly to avow 1t as cardinal feature of policy Tn the administration of govern meat.

 SIR-When addressed von through the press, on the subject of the Iein- phls road, foresaw the vantage ground upon which you stood, and low perfect ly useless any efforts on the part of the people would be, to endeagor 10 effect a change. or cause you to retraet tbe errors you fad fallen into. Ely object al the time was principally 10 inquire in- to the pa'fieulars, about which many other persons as we'll as myself, felt SO lieitoas; and had you given any plaus- ible pretext for the course you adopted, i should hot have again troubled yon on the subject. h the long article penned, presume, by yourself, or at your n- stance, published in your organ, the Gazette, under the head of the 5lh n- stant, you endeavor to explain orapolo- gise for your course, but in doing so, you have exhibited yourself in respect 10 the road, in more odioas light than even persons who had the least faith in your wisdom or integrity, believed you capable ci acting. Assuming this arti- cle in the Gazette to have been penned by you, or published under your direc- ton, and that the principles therein ad- yanced are those upon which you acted, and 1t appears, intend 10 act, (eycn should 1t be in defiance of the public will,) ii your superintendencc of the Memphis road, as they are so much at variance with the letter and spirit of the appropriation act, so contrary to the established custom in other coun. tries, and so different from what the strict rules of economy would dictate, that few brief remarks upon them, al- though thrown away upon you, or deemed impertinent, cannot be con- sidered wholly uninteresting to the pub lie. And first, sir, let me premise that in the article alluded 10, in making out your ease, t has been fonnd necessary 10 misconstrue tine act of Congress ma- king the appropriation. 10 wit: Con gress grants 2o,000 collars 10 make the road good from this place Litle Rock) 10 the St. Francis river.' There are several roads leading from Little Rock to the St. Francis, and by this disingen- uons construction you arc at liberty to expend the 10000 dollars upon any of themy ou may think proper, which eve " man of common sense who has. or has not, seen the act of Congress, knows would De contrary 10 its intention. and if such unlimited power has been given by the Delegate, he is highly censura- hle, and should be held responsible for placing il, elen in tho hands of ,ou. sir. who have been so much blessed with the public confidence.
 IL is true, the act of Congress is not very explicit, perhaps little unguarti- ed, like some otLer acts that Mir. Sevier has had passed, but 1t bears no such construction, nor conveys any such pow CT. Ii is. verbatim ct lleratim, as fol lows.

But we think it proper to no tify the public, that we too much respect their feelings to engage thus early in a contest, which, however long procrasti- hated, will, when commenced, prove un- pleasant to every peaceful breast.

aGoy. POPE AND THE ROAD" :"

aNxoN | VI BL A-N J | IL iAO+A U.
 We had prepared an editorial rejoinder n the luminous article in the Gazette of the ;5ti inst, bearing the above title but .nr correspondent < Cache" has antiei- mated us, and as he has responded 10 the niece in extcnso, we will refer our read CTS 10 him, rather than trouble them with ear own views. We will merely suggest, that Gov. Pope has not let out the road to contractors but that he is himself the contractor for the whole route, and Rorer, Gray, Rutherford, and the rest, arc cm- ployed by him as underseers 10 him, the oYerseer.
 That Gov. Pope is himself the road con tractor, appears probable from this fact. Immediately on his arrival here from Ken lucky, he wrote to Louisville for plougiis and scrapers, to be used en the road.- Now he would hardly have done this, If he had intended to have let out the road to contractors. They would have been left ao pursue what course they doen,edt proper, to effect their contracts; but as the Go- vernon had resolved to keep the contract in his own hand, i. was to his CIV n interest 10 procure plougis and scrapers, as there- by he could expedite the work, save ex- pense, and have greater bonus for his trouble.
 This may be fair. The Governor knows the value of money, and if he should pay himself liberal commission for the dis burscment of s2o,oe0, who shall say him nay.

From Knox's Songs Of Israel
MORTALITY.

u why should the spirit Of mortal he proud
Like fast fitting meteor, fast flying cloud,
A flash Of the lightning, break Of the wave
lie passes from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves Of the oak and the willows shall fade,
he scattered around, and together be laid;
And the young and the old and the low and the
high,
Shall moulder 10 dust, md together shall lie.
The child that mother attended and loved,
The mother that infants affection that proved,
The husband that mother and infant that blest,
Each-all are away 10 their dwelling Of rest.
The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, IN
whose eye,
shone beauty and plensure-hcr triumphs are by;
And the memory OF those that loved her and prais-
cd,
Are alike from the minds Of the living erased.
The hand ofthc King that the sceptrc hath borne ),
The brow Of the priest that the lnitre hath worn,
The eye Of the sage and the heart Of the brave,
Are hidda, and lost in the depths of the grave.
The peasant whose lot wns TO sow and to reap,
The herdsnan who climbed with his goats to the
steep,
The besgar that wandered in search of his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
The saint that enjoyed the communion of heaven,
The sinner that dared TO remain unforgiven,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust
So the multitude goes-lke the flower and the
weed,
That whher away to let others succeed;
So the multitude comes--even those we behold,
To repeat every tale that hath often been told
For we are the same things that our fathers have
been,
We see the same sights that our fathers have seen,
We drink the same stream, and we feel the same
sun,
And We run the same course that our fathers have
The thoughts we are thinking our fathers would
think,
from the death we arc shrinking from, they too
would shrink,

But it speeds from the earth like bird on the

They Ioved-but their story we cannot unfold,
They scorned-but the heart Of the naughty is cold
They grieved-but no wall from their slun,bers
may come.
They joyed-but the voice of their gladness is
dumb.
They died-ay, they died. and we things that are
now,
Who walk on the turf that lies over their brow,
Who make in their dwellings transient abode,
Meet the changes they met on their pilgrimage
road.
! Yes, hope and dependence, and pleasure & pain,
Are mingled together in sunshine and rain
And the smile and the tear, and the song and the
dirge,
Still follow each other like surge upon surge.
IT'S the twink Of an eye, it's the draught Of q
breath,
From the blossom OF health to the paleness o
death,
From the glded saloon to the bier and the shroud
o why should the spirit Of mortal be proud!
