 To show your Excelleney that your present party attitude Is in strict accord. ance with the whole tenor of your life, and that your whole political career, which is now pretty long one, has been almost q complete failure, and that party strife and political turmoil are the primary elements ofyour mind, the con genial feelings of yeur soul, will rcfci to a few prominent periods of your pc. litical existence. l must of necessity be brief. Hereafter.I intend to dwell upon that part of your character, ina way which you may suppose to be ma. lieious pleasure. While Senator in Congress from the State of Kentucky, your vote on the renewal of the old charter of the Bank of the United States, and your vote against the lals war with England, justly considered the second war of our Independence, were considered federal hereses.-
 When you returned to the people of that great and patriotic State, they manifested their indignation and con tempt for you, by shooting and burning you in efigy throughout the whole State. Your political sun had sci, 10
 all appearance never more to rise.-
 In the long, severe and bitter contes, between the old court and new court, lin Kentucky, you were a clamorouA violent and reckless partizan, in favor
 of the new court. When the old court party finally triumphed, and saved the constitution of the State, and once
 more restored peace, order and haFaa ny to society, your political prospects again became dark and gloomy. All prospect of State preferment being lost
 all hope of q seat in Congress being Eclosed-likea broken poIiticalgamester, you were ready to espouse any cause, or any principle, and attach yourself b
 any party that would accept of you.-
 Nevertheless, you kept sharp look
 out, watched the signs of the times closely, and at a convenient seasoa
 threw yourself into the ranks of Gen, eral Jackson. He proved successful, and rewarded your services by making you Governor of the Territory ot Ar
 kansas. Thus are we indebted to q combination of circumstances, wholly opposite in their character. and extra. ordinary in their nature, for the bles sings of our good Governor. How lr' scrutible are the ways of Providence and the destinies of men! WhetET you "sold yourself to ambition and Ia
 bored for hire,n in helping to build up and in organizing Jackson party, n Kentucky, there is,one thing certale you do not consider your present statlo' sufficient reward for your serylces.-
 It is evident from your restless d'spo,sr ton, and almost entire absence from 'l'c Territory, youyiew Arkansas asa place beneath your dignity-that Arkansas ?
