 4n the Gazette of the 5th inst find one or more columns of editorial slang appro- priated To my especial use; and although l tnat paper has upon its face the name Of " iiiiaas F. " oodrGH as It's editor, he is 1 only so nominaly. Chester Ashlev. VII liam 5. Fulton, and X. H. Sevier. pen ai- most every editorial paragraph that ap- pears Tn that paper The latter gentle man, t3ol. A. Il. Sevier, wrote the para graph in question. The piece which f seems gave so much offence 10 Buck and hls gang, Was.signed C A Citizen of Bates Yllle.o It contained nothing that was not true Further than that, the author oft can prove in court of justice, that Will ham F. Woodruff is murd erer and a per jured man, and that Col. 4 H. Sevier was drunk upon the evening referred to. Is tlls plain language, Mir. Woodruff? You now have the charge made against you by person whom you know; and if be not ifae, Jai fave yoHf redress iii court of justice on objected to Mir Bertrand becanse he#was poor. Ny situation in life IS perhaps no better. if as good as Mir, Rer trand S. But let not this deter you from a suIt Notify me that such is your determi- nation, and l will give you bond from two of the best men in the Territory in the l sum of SIS ,0G0. In which bond they will bind themselves to.pay the whole, or any part thereof which jury may award you say that Col. Seyier had an agency in the removal of JHdge Bates. Fulton repre- scented to Gen. Jackson that lie was the BOSOM FRIEND of Judge Bates, and with tears h his eyes was compelled to admit the truth of the charge made against him, Such was the game sevier played off on Judge Bates. Now any man who has re sided in the Territory for the last eighteen months, knows well t..at the statement of Judge Fulton was downright false hood If Col. Seyier Is anxious for a war with me, he can have il. fortunately spent the last wf.,fer and spring at Washington. aud can unfold a tale" that will nak e some of his constituents stare. have no time al present for such discussion. At future day I will have.
 Again l am charged with wish to re- wye unpleasant eooliections in the breasts of haJor Pope's friends. And on what ground IS this charge made? I have used the words nameless inspirations So did Maj Pope. We're they original with 1 him. l say they were not. Ask any school boy, and he will tell you that it is a common expression. The charge has be- made without any provocation whatever. Know the motives that prompted < the gang Fhoy wish to get rid of me-they wish my death; and are now anxious to lnvoiye me in quarrel with some of Ma foPe's friends. That object accomplish ed, Woodfntf's s paper will cry out peace, while he las in the other casel will pri- vately urge t on. Let him who chooses espouse Bucks quarrel, and am always 1 prepared to render personal satisfaction to any gentleman who feels himself ag. gricyed.
 In conclusion, l will say, that feelings Of dellcacy have heretofore prevented me from making q expose '' in the affair between Maj. Pope and myself. This at tack las removed them. At aleisure lime ] will prove plainly 10 tie people of Ar kansas, a charge which now make, viz ]: thaf Cor. Pope soas ihe direct cause of tte duel 6eteeea .laf. Pope and myspif
