TO THE PEOPLE OF ARKANSAS.

Fettow Citizens :-In the "Gazette" of the 3lst ult., your e Faithful Delegate ]" has made his appearance in print, in an Rarticle of some length, addressed to the Editor of that paper. Those who expect- ed instruction, from the written efforts of that great man, will be exceedingly grati- fled by his condescension in thus giving the world a sample of the extraordinary ideas which range in his capacious mind, and ri otously struggle for utterance and escape, from their prolific confinement. It must be acknowledged, that those who expect ed dlsquisitlon on the old fashioned sub ject of morality, or any thing now, on the very interesting subject of civil govern ment, will feel themselves a little di.ap- pointed in perusing the article alluded to; but they will, ne doubt, find themselves largely retributed by the eloquent and im- pressiEe manner in which he descaBts np- on, and denonnces his euondam friend '' old Captain Faro.' The world in gen eral, but more particularly ihe people of this Territory, have long been cheated out of this gentieman's efforts as an author, by mhination Of his owh friends, who, fl is said, have uniformly cIubbed togeth- CT 10 keep him ont of print, until tue yiv- idness of his eXuberant imagination, had ucCu Noii LII d HUE tJ cApCi IEHCes Suu we are now to presume, that lls restrain- ing committee has decided, that the pow CTS of his intellect are sufficiently matured to let him come forth with all his magni- Gcence of thought brilliancy of wit, and caustic severity of satire, to blight and wither, with single effort, the whole scribbling fraternity ofthe Canuass-haos faction" The subject, too, upon which they let him loose on the public ear, was admirably adapted for the display of his versatile genius. Those who have tear at hand for the miseries of humanity, will iet It fall at the bare recital of the tragic manner in which he parted from his told .friend," the Captain; and those who are fond of refinement in testing way, will
 be delighted with his charming little epi- sode on "Btack Damsels." That part of 1 you, fellow citizens, who are in the habit of reading the :. Arkansas Gazette" will do well to be careful of the number which contains the production in question; and those whn have not read it carefully, will do well to read 1t again and when ihey are satisfied, that they have fully entered into the spirit of the author, and rnade | themselves master Of his subject and style
 it is to be hoped that they will! impart il
