The Arkansas advocate., 1832-04-11

inc following facts, upon which It was 1. based You were appointed to preside over us in March, lS99--in May or tune, you paid paid US visit of some tzuenty days, and then left for Kentucky; our Legislature was by law to meet on the first Monday of October, following they met, and you were absent, but an express announced your approach. You did arrive, believe, on the eve ring of the same day, and the Legisla- ture waited fArce or fo1r days to receive a message from your Exeelleney, upoa the statc of cfdirs i's dle iexf1'o'5',
 country you had never seen but once,
 and that months before. This delay
 caused the session 10 be prolonged be-
 yond the thirty days for which Congress provides, and to 5etirsd1 dt!;ssy E;ss5 IS justly
 chargeablc, the extra sum which tic
 people of the Territory had to pay tor
 tie residue of the session. lou de-
 parted for Washington almost immedi-
 ately after the adjournment, butnot be-
 foresvou had essayed 10 .cajole the Le-.
 gislature into an invitation to you, to
 attend 10 the interests of the Territory
 atthat place. You did not again return
 until spring. Since then you have been
 nearly half yourtime absent, and only
 reached this place the day before the
 lastsession of the Legislature, and again
 the Legislature had 10 undergo the sol
 emn farce {after waiting two days) ol
 receiving message from a | oyernof
 whose absence precluded the ldea that
 he could understand the interests of the people committed to his charge. One word in relation to the course pursued by Gel. Seyier, in relation 10 this me morial, and have done with the sub 1 feet. When that memorial was pre- sented to him, he told the committee that he received it with pleasure, that he admired its principles, would sustain lit with aiaerity, and ventufed before hand 10 predict its saceess--he las ill terms, since he reached Washington, disclaimed it in part, and yielded but pitifnl and evaslse support to 1he resi-
 due--for those facts, appeal to our awr journals and these of Coneress.- l De his tt,a responsibility, for thus mis- representing tie interests and wishes ol 1 his constituents, ray, sacrificing them,
 at tlle shrine of party.
