The Arkansas advocate., 1832-04-11

Arkansas, aud cssinl' j view tic Subjects I have presented to Ysotr consideration.
 Ask yourselves what Interests your re- nresentatives could have had, but in common with their constituents, to seek for tue enlargement of their rights Your representatives have been brand ed as factious and corrupt, nay, as llav- ling cast a stan upon tho character of -four country. But tic principles we l contonded for, will live and be cherish ed as long, ] trust, as lime shall en- dure-whcnn moaldering record shall finger to teii tiiat such men as GGoy. Pope ever lived, or pertiaaciously go- veraed an unwilling people. l would cheerfillly, in my own person, encoun- fer all the hate Of all tie clan headed by his Excelieney, ii, by 20 doing, could secure the elective franchise to inc pco- pie of Arkansas. The question at last rests between your own representatives and the federal aristocracy of the Ter ritory. You, fellow citizens, are the judges. and to you Icl.cerfally sabniit the arbitrament.
 fEsr The following arc tue dates of the 1onrnais referred to above, hich tile pub lie are invited 10 read and contrast withI the insinuating publication Of Gov. Pope and they will find that he has wilfiily misstated occurrences both as to the or der in which they did occur, and the facts relative to them, hecausc the Journals were filed in the Erccutise office, and no where else--to wit:
 On 2oth Gel. 1881, ffe Ten Section Bill was vetoed and put 10 rest. 'Fhe me- rnorlal to Congress praying tho privilege of electing Governor, was presented on the 26th Get. and passed into the hands of the committee of enroiments on the first Nov. The joint committee was raised to detain that memorial and hand il to inc Delegate, without the intervention of the GoYernor. on tie 2nd. Nov On the 3rd Nov. that committee reported that tho chairman of the committee On cnroiments, alr Brown, n coatempt and violation off tue joint or5es Of tho Houses, had landed the memorial te John Pope, Governor in Sulreptsttous manner. On the ath, q re- solution was introduced te expel Mr. Brown, for said contempt; also a rcsoItl- lion authorizing the Speaker to address "John Pope" through the door Keeper. demanding the memorial without his sig nature. On the 5th Nov, Inc memorial was returned by the Governor. 10 tho House of Representatives in an upusaal and nncourtcous manner--and on the same day, the committee ef the whole was dis charged from the further consideration of the iiDpeachnent of Mr. Brown. on my motion. Although the Governor tel}s tho public that he felt constrained to deliRc any fnfther communications with the Honsc of Representatives from the tine of the address of tic Speaker 10 stJolin Pope, yet the Journals will prove that from the 26ih Nov. down 10 the 3th and 7th Nov, s'especYat messages were inter- changed on many other subjects, and throughout the session This memorial which he so improperly iaterfered with, formed the only exception.
 617~ In accordance with Mr. WaodruaIs frequent pledges, ssthat in all cases whero the character of individuals have been zssailed through file medium of iris paper, his columns shall he open for their de Anee,' now call on him to repuhiisl the above expose of truths.
