The Arkansas advocate., 1832-03-14

Tour appointment was given you by le
 President of the United States, for wEcm l you proiessed to have personal good feel ] ings, and surely you could not apprehcnd
 any danger from the Delegate, althougls he is all powerful 10 remove whomsoeyer he plcases. Surely sir, personal friend of tue Presidents could be under no ap- prehension from that score. And sir, be- Ing only temporary citizen, perhaps du- ring the pleasure of the President, you had no right whatever, 10 meddle with OUT elections We are tben led 10 believe that your Excellency was actuated by no other motive than an insaiiabie thirst to become an actire pa,tizant And in favor l of whom. and in what cassee You have debased yourself, sir, 10 become lie foot of men, who, in your absence, treat you with ridicnle and contempt. Men who fHesef loved you sufficiently 10 hate yost---- who never thought enough of you to des- plse you-who arc willing to make tool oi you as far as you are able to serve them, anu whenever an opportunity occurs, to t'eaf you with contempt and ridicue.
 There was one period of the al ninisf ra- ton Of your Excellency, when your prin- ter was your fayorite and adyiscr--when the only way ofgaining access to you, was through him; when he in fact governor he 1 by his insinuating acts lad wrought upon your too susceptible nafure--you gave him your confdence--and experience has since 1 shown 10 me. that that confidenc was but lily repaid. Your Excellency will remember you paid visit to Kentucky last summer--it was for some time very doubtful whether you wor Id ever return. During this period of doubt and conjec- ture, did there ever appear in the columns ofthe Gazette, single paragraph in any way accounting for your absence! Ordid your otcial ever contain single line ex- planatory of your conduct! Not onei Tho people were anxio.sly inq,liring sswhat has become of the Governors" Did anyof your pretended friends answer those ipqui- ries, ,or take np the cudge1s in your defeBce2 No, on the contrary, your absence was made the butt and ridic.sle of all conver- sations in every company. Your partic- nlar friend, Woodruff, went so far as to offer to barter Or swap yot of for any man that could be picked from the Desha ranksl He actually feared you would not return, and was anxious to shake off his aAdchment, to be ready to bestow 1t on your successor, whoever or whatever he might be-
 It was to serve sncll men as Ashley and " NoodfafI and=tnclr sninions, that you iayci bartered tl,e good will ofthe people of this country. It was to serve such men as these you forfeited yoHi reputation as "good Governor and have heen driven 10 the necessity trumpeting your own fame and of defending yourself in these ptiflil numbers of " Justice" which shall stand as lasting monuments of your weak ness and disgrace-
 1 After all the admonitions you have re- l cn Il, ranks s.marring our best interests and ] thwarting our best plans.' lnsnlted and degraded, you still hug to your bosom, tho very yipers wlicl, sting you. The popu- lar feeling which was setting towards yous has been as the sudden rush of the mighty 1 torrent----it has subsided into a calm---- the waters are still, and none of it's migh~ ty effects are now visible. The comnso- tion caused by your popular ssveto,' fear has subsided and left you politically 10 expire, unmonrned by either party, alike the contempt and pity of both. If your Excellency should again be nomina- ted by the President, let me begof you pot to accept; you ought to have common instinct enough to teach you that no par ty has any confidence in you. Un the score of Jacksonism, one Of the most prom inent Jackson menin this country, higllln office and situated near your person, has ifreqnentiy, since your dinner c0nuersat1oaL in Kentucky, denounced you as not heing ofthe true Jackson faith, and has express
 ed himselfas having very little confidence in any of your political virtues. While you are an enemy to Crittenden, you may
 be useful to a few, who arc not choice as
 to the means, so he he defeated or ruineds further they have no use for you; and mark
 Lo; unpopular, the whole of the odium will l be cast upon you----you will be made the scape-g goat for all their political sins, and must sink still lower than you have under the accumulated weight of popular indig- nation. On the contrary, ifyour meas urcs shall meet the approbation of the peo- pic, they will manage io cheat yon out oi your just share of applause, bind upon their own brows all the laureis that may be gaiHed---fnd pretext fur dissoiyiDR the existing compacf----give you to under- stand ycs. are ef ne fnrthar nse and leave you to your own melancholy reflections, and tle necessity of resuming your num- hers of ssJustice.o Iknow sir, that for particular reasons, they are now anxious to extinguish tine unholy alliance, but fhe time has not yet arrived, They vainlv hope that by your assistance, Crittenden may be prostrated, and some Of them selves raised upon his ruin. The case seems to stand thus----thcy cajole you and pet you by turns; they call you ssgood Governor" "nobIe Governor, :" and icon sstent Governor" while you in return
 for all this kindness, are to bully every |refrnctovy Legislature, advance mea-
 sures that suit them, and "veto'' bills that are not actually consonant with their
