 Mir. Editor, did not see or hear this grave leg consultation, or this ptii- yate advice of the Governors grand counsellor. That something, in sub stance like them, must have occurred, have very little doubt. Such concert, in action, as the history oi tbe procur- ii'g tt!iis usiri;.l! declaration, fo.s.l.e se- lief Of the Governer's foad,erait, exhib- its, never could have happened, without a previous understanding and arrange ment among the principal actors.
 The neW commissions were, in due time, signed, sealed, aid delixcrcd.-- The proper country Justices were i'll at- tendance. Perhaps neither Pope nor Ashley sent for them, nor were the, told so come. kat would hasc bee.a tarcfaccd and might have given alarm. Men of wealth ;ind power have tools to send or carry their errande. Gun hing men have tricks. The proper Justices fromtle country came to Court. Il may be, they scarce kiiew wiiy Or wherefore. Rorcr was lunclual.- Stevenson was elected Mayor, and ap- polluted Chief Justice. And thus far all vert on well.
 will finish this humber with few remarks respecting tie Coamy Court of Pulaski. as il displayed itself at tie last term. or tic naotipes and sueufions of the Justices, (except one) shall utter neither censure nor accusation. Of their actiags and eoinss, shall fear lcssly speak. I believe that most of the 7ar0ng in their acts was occasioned by their acting oally as they were acted upon, by men aaseorthy Of their conf denee; in whom they nevertheless had confidence. They were appointed or selected, and they were curiously as- sorted and associated for the very pur- pose of being so acted upon. Probably they knew 1t Ilot.
 There was too much of the rarson in the Court. have as much respect for ministers as any man. have person. al regard for each of the ministers who sal iii the late County Court. 'fhcy aie highly respectable men in their sphere. But with due dcfercnee ] must s;.y thcy moved mol in their proper sphere in that Court. In the morning, Mr. $. was a minister and man, without office. In the evening, Che bore his hlusling iion- ors thick upon him." He was made Mayor of Little Rock, Justice Of t!lc Peace. and Chief Justice Of the Court, in q sirgie day. Was he running am hitian's race? No. He was acted up on merely. Do these ministers know why they welc urged to 50 prominent a plaee in tIie Couf.tg9 believe ;.et They ought 10 know. will explain. They arc attached 10 tWoycry rcspecta- blc denominations of Christians. Their brethren are numerous. Ashley and the Governor are well aware, that if they are assaiIcd, their congregations and brethren will rally and defend them. lfthese ministers would decide in Court as these men wished them 10 decide, ..tlsca whoever should aesailthat decision, would draw upon himself the indigna- tion of the religious part of thccommu- nity. These ministers were pressed in to q high rank in the Court. to be thein- struments, through the regard and vene- ration oftheir brethrenfor them, in form ing two denominations of Christians into a shield and screen 10 protect and hide Ashley and the Governor, and their illegal and oppressive schemes.
