itcB stoou siiobe iif<c a lc throwing brands into every ,@ p','.' ;ombustible around you-none s'a s',1 gou--you iabored to get all toaetberkka lie ears. You was then considerad cypher, by your present friends-ania strument in their hands, not head ';,, ;s their councils. Your official power s aaa ',, patronage have since made yop .ma1 a,u necessary to them-tbey have tried .,,e,s ,oa and found you a fit assoeiate--,ou ara aotp taken into full fellowship; and .sas '.,~tini compeers having discovered ,ba. the nearest way to yoor citadel ,s l;"s through the organ of self esleen, baes l5es appealed te your vaaity, by makibo sas nomindtiy the head of their clon 2 15;,a }Su you iil fact are but the toil, and sloon ,',o Y sabserye them in alltheir selfish p,,1ro ses. Say, then, for argument sake aks4 G you are realiy the hcdd of this faet,on
 and Gorefaor of this Territor, botl'
 ot which you are, m name ]; would if fet
 better become You, sir, 10 wash ,onr
 handsof the filth which soils those of e
 many of your malapert subaIterns. and
 assume an argumentatye tone--a som.
 blance of reasonable Knight of | :, Alancha himself, il is said, sometimes
 gave indications of reaSon)-and vhen
 you write, place your proper name at
 the bottom and olily write what a fo.
 uernor or gentleman would not be
 ashamed to acknowledge what f
 called on, you eoald repeat with some plausible color of truth. But if mud
 must be thrown, let your llek,spitiles
 and panders throw 1t. If you still think
 as you did when you first reached this
 'sfemote province" that all the citizen,
 of Arkansas are block heads, and tbat
 you are another Solomon; that nothinr
 but vitaperation and vulgar abuse viii
 suit their appeiites; let your foot.pads
 do the work. Spare yourself the dc.
 grading task; am sure none of the gen. .
 ttemen attached to your party, can go
 with you in so reprehensible course. The people of Arkansas understand
 you, sir, and will place you in niche suitable to your merit, let the election
 tor Delegate, (which you indicate such
 thirst to control, terminate as it may. al honest Sevier-men; all honest Crit.
 tenden-men;will deprecate your impro. per Interference in matter which be. longs exclusively to them. They can
 and will select a Delegate fer them. selves, regardless of the dietation of
 your Excellency or any otherindividuaI,
 Why is il that Yeur Excelency. at
 the commencement of every paper var,
 exhibits such an inofdihate itching to
 tlgure on the arena, and foment the eoas of diseord, already too hot? Is f be.
 cause your retiring virtues might other.
 wise remain in the shade? Or is if ihs
 biaeker passion of ENVY towards one
 man, and MALICE towards the citizens ot our Territory, in general? lt would
 seem from the obvious tenor of vonr conduct, that you have but ofe ohieft
 m Vlew-the aggrandizpment of seer selt & satellites, ,at the sacrifice of { rt tender, and every other man who has independence enough to think and speak for himself. In 1920, when sundry spe, .clileations of maIadmilistraion were made against yoursclfand the s.amiahle" Secretary, how did you defend then?
 Did you appeal to the reason and iateE AgeHee of the people? No. Ton iHe# you were indefensiblc. You parried the blows by loading Crttelden. vbo had no agency whatever in the affair; with the vilest burden of caIumny and abuse ever bestowed on one so unde~ serving 1t; taking special care at the same time to tell the people in every breath, that yoa were the wisest man. the 0@st and most p9puldr Gopernor that ever lived, and that they were highly favored and blest in having you to rule over them. And was this selfadnla- ton, and ahusc of Crittenden esefyeuF own signature? Or, did you fire at an nnoiiebding citizen from behind mask. ed battery? The files of the Gazeties the Vile sewer of your spleen, and oths CT Pfoois which you cannot controveTi, establish the latter fact; and the ditil. cuitIes into which you seiuced your brave, talented, yet unfortunate ne. Phew, then an orphan under your guar showed a heart bent on nls- chief, and degree of malevolenee scarcely inferior to that of the arehhend himself.
 When your kinsman in Kentucky, prompted doabtlessby your EScelleneN published denunciation against the last Legislature of Arkansas, and al empted to brand a large and resPee'a- ole portion of the citizens Of the Ter 'itory, as aband of "Desperadoes, heaa' d by Robert Crittenden;" and MT,
