self, would have blstshed on benag detected in it's participation. When he arose to ad- dress the collection they persisted in their dIsIlonorabie efforts to attract the people away to PREV EfSsf ri FIR Lis EN- ING TO HIM, ill which they succeeded but partially, Much the larger portion re- maind and were attentive to him throughout. These are the means used by Mir. SEWERS PUBLIC OFFICERS and fie-ieaders, to prejudice the ffeemen of War Eagle against a perfect stranger, seeking to see ttem the first lime, for an object toe,Vhieh every free man Ill this country has aii undoubtsd tight to aspire, without censure.
 At Fayetteville, on another occasion, when ar. sSeyier had finished his speecil, an effort was made to draw off the audi enee from Mir. Crittenden, and prevent their hearing hime In order to effect this, an old BLACK-LEG, by the name of Og- tordy the lowest of his species, was em- ployed as the agent. This secondhand disciple of Hoyle, unfurled his handker- chief, fastened to stick as a flag, and loudly called on all who were thirsty, to follow him and drink. The mogna,ain,ous LEEpER, and Ssthat aforesaid" SNEED, al- ways prompt to the Bacchanalian sound, and a few other arovthg souls of the same brandr followed the polluted banner of the old gamester; but great majority of the people, proud of their individual reputation, and the character of that great county, spurned with indignation the foul effort, and listened attentlvely to what Mir. Crit tenden had to say: and 1t is confidently be- lieved, that many on that occasion, as well as every other of q similar nature Ill Wash ington, were convinced that he had been baselg slandel'ed and grossly aaisrepreseated by these MINIONS of hydra-headed aristocraey, reared up by our present Dele- gate, and came 10 the determination to sup port him. Wherever he is heard, ali are convinced of the foul calun1nies heaped upon him, as well as of his superior talents, and the rectitude of his cause, and his sup porters are every day rapidly increasing.
 People of Arkansas! can you have con fidence in cause-either in its stability or plsrity-that would stoop, under any cir cumstmcesr to such degrading meansi It must be roitem in its principles of action and desperate Ill its resources.
 It has been the uniform policy of Mr. Sevier, to rcmore all public officers who VOTED AGAINST HIM i'll his cleo tions, and make all his appointments from among his kinsaaea and DEVOTED PARTI- FANS, without any regard to merit. And although Jacksonism IS his hobby, 1t has been no criterion with him in filling offices, unless razeed to the Series staadafd. A violent Ciag-0aan, without any merit higher than Seuse,ssn,, has been made a Brigadier General-ranting .adoass-nsea have also been appointed to office under the same rule. With his patronage as Delegate, he has filled all the offices m the Territory with his clamorous paftizans. The chain extends over the whole country, and by it's influence and force Mir. Sever Is to be sent to Congress until his s'head IS gray.''- MATTHEW LEEPER, i'll preference to five hundred more merltorious citizens of Wash ington county, and five thousand of the Territory, IS created by Mir. sSeyier. RE- cEIvER OF PUBLIC MONIES, over dozen applicants of high character and standing. SEABoRN c. SNEEp, an oEce-hunter, who has read the history of the Four Kings with more zeal than the four volumes of Blackstone, and who, while attending as a toacyer at Lawrence Circuit Court, abused and cudgelled a decrepit old Negro man, near hundred years of age and scarcely able to walk, for presumng to enter the room where he was si.m6liag his books, in conjunction with Leeper, is chosen a fle- teader to give tone to public semtsmea a. mong the freemen of Washington county. The results of those degrading manGu- vres of this lcorthg i,tato, is spoken of boastingly by-Mr. Sevier's partizans, as an evidence that Mir. Crittenden IS so unpopu- lar m Washington county, that the people will not listen to him. Tins THEY KNOW TO BE FALSE. Those of MT. Sevier's friends who have one spark of honor, will blush to think of such foul exertIons in be- half of their candidate
 Citizens of Washington county! Sons of Kentucky and Tennessee, whose patriotic arms have upheld the banner of your coun- try ii SC many trying sccnos!i can you sui fer yourselves to succumb to the DICTA- HON of men who degrade themselves by engaging Tn such transactions? If Mr. Sewer IS most worthy, elect him: But merit alone should obtain your suffrage.- Before you condemn MT. Crittenden, know who he is, and judge him without preju- dice. "Tis the voice of LIBERTY and EQUALITY, for which your fathers bled. WASHINGTON.
