The Arkansas advocate., 1832-11-21

r fs fGovernor Pope has certainly the rreatesj claims to originality of thought, and de. cenoy of expression. The Governor iii always tell thing in new way, and in a decent manner of expression, aithouch his 1suHect may have been written down. by political slang whangers like himself. for. i y years ago- his trait in tie Governor character, justly places him at the head or the poltlcai corporation of Jack asses. who now govern this Territory.
 <, rom this, rather exalted opinion of the Goyernor, which l have here taken the iIoerty to make public. no one would sus- Pect me for harboring the idea. for a mo- ment, that the Goyernor wrote the essay hlmself, which bears tie signature of tbe - aithtul Delegate" No, ind eed. fellow citIzens, although ! am faitIess in the uoVernor, as a public man, yet, in sus- .aining himself as a gentleman, and lend : l Ing hls aid to the courtesies and refine inents oi society, the Governor will all ways to himself justice Nor do believe, that there IS single parsonage belonging To the whole group of .sGazette'' authors. vulgar enough to produce the ehullition of nlth Tn question. except the C Fnathfi,l Defegate" himself Even Woodruff, am persuaded, did not approve the piece ; ana further persuade myself. that Wood ruff debarred the female pa,f of hfs otoa jamaty from reading the "Gazeite," the "eek In which that nauseating production iound utterance Tn its columns.
 Again, fellow citizens, whatever you. Tn yohr character of supremacy, may think oi the written efforts of yonr ''Faithfui Desegdfe, l am clearly of opinlon my seif' that his friends should keep him out ot Print.
