It was our intention 10 have made a suitable respond to the lucubrations of the Editor of the Gazette, which made so con- spicuous display in the last number of that paper; but press of matter from other sources has prevented US, for the present week. If, however, more valuable and more profitable matter does not crowd upon us, we will, in our next, pay to bis efusions all the attention they merit.

 DEAR SIR-in the Gazette of the lst inst. l discover one or two letters from this (lndependence) county, puBiag the PoPuLARtTy of our fCHF@woRTHy and TAL- EKrED&e0 Delegate, A. H. SEWER. I have been in the north two weeks, and have conversed freely with many persons n this and Law renee county, on the sub feet of Col. Seviei's 5oasteI strength, and have been informed by majority of those with whom l have conyersed, that Col. DEsuA, the competitor of SeYer at the last election, no; only retains hisstrcngtli, but is gaining friends daily. Col. Desha should he again consent to be a candidate, (which he doubtless wii) may rest assured that he will receive the warm and jealous supper. ef the North TT ll1e peo- pie in this section of the Territory are de- tcrniined at future election to give their undivided support to man who will lee.is- late for the NORTHERN, in common with other sections of 1 rlsansas. What has Seyier done fer the North, since he has been in Congress, to entitle him to her support? Nothing save the creating of a single post-olfice in the Oil Trough bot tom '! But what better evidence Of Col. Sevier's siahiag popularity in thc North, IS wanting, than the fact that his friends here find il necessary, thas early, to press it, by their :. Public Semiment'' letters.
 Judge Eslsrdge, who IS the writer of the letter of the 22d ult. in the Gazette, has the hardihood to assert that the re- moval of Judge Bates, so far from being unpopnlar,. Is measure that meets the appreciation of all. The Judge knew this to De f4ise when be penned 1t. IT ever man lived in Independence county, who was esteemed and beloved by the qChoie people that man is JAMES WooDsoN BATES, and Eskrdse well knows the fact. Eve Y ,t.ao aga heard say any thing on inc subject, speaks in reproduction of the course pursued by Sevier against Bates l should write you more fully, but l am about to leave for Washington county. and write you in much haste. Ny last letter, you will observe, is incorrectly datcd-it should have been the 27th, instead Of the l7th July. Respectfully, Se.
