We hinted, week or two since, that we had an unsettled account, of long standing, with :" our worthy and abie'' Delegate. isit. Sevier but that his health was then too fec ble, 10 permit us with any degree of pro- priety or courtesy, or win that respect which is always due to greatness, to call upon him for settlement. But the cc;.se of his dis order has been happily discovered and re- moved, and the last number of his organ reports the Don himself again. The ac- count Is one of many ite1as, and We shall select and read them to him, andto his con- stiiuents, from time to time, as shall best suit our convenience. And now for con- meneenlent.
 You are charged, sir, (and upon no less authority than yodr own mouth.piece, the Gazette,) with declaring, that, had you sup posed, for moment, that the Governor would have given the printing of the Stat ute Laws, for which $3,000 were aprro- priated at the last session Of Congress, b aay ottsr than to your dme-serviag friend, MR. Woodruf, the application of the funds and the direction and superintendence of the work, ro,ld hape been intfusted 10 other hands.
 This charge has not been denied but, to the surprise and modification of your friends, boldly and unblushingly adm'tted. Indeed, "your meA' Woodruff testifies, that he heard you express yourself some what in the style that Is here charged !- What must the people think of this bold declaration-vh construction can your constituents put upon it No othes than this That you go to Washington, not to represent Them, as IS your sieoT3a duty, but to legislate for, aud advance the interest oi, your friends and political subjects and vas sals about Little Rock. When you obtain ed this appropriation, you had no eye-to the public good-the filling of Woodruff s cor morant and greedy pocket formed the only incentive. We do not make t as grave charge, but merely ask for iniormation- were you not, in the event of Woodruf's obtaining this job, to have received share of the profits arising from it! Your un- blushing declaration, that the appropriation would have been intrusted to other hands if you had supposed that the Governor would have made the disposition of it he !. has, led Us to suppose that some such ar rangement had been agreed upon.
 You have here admitted what has often beer charged upon you, aud as oftens un- til now, denied-tha your Legislation has had for its object, exclusively, the promo tion and advancement of yourself and friends, regardless of the interest and we'll beng oi the people. Cite US to man, if you can, opposed yousinpoliiics, who has been benefited single copper by the ma ny large appropriations you have obtained, to be expended forfroads and other purpo- ses. You cannot-7nor can your cousist- ent CID organ-eite ar isolated instance. Eyary IaItar ba, baar sth.ox,,, ;,,ta d. 70 .aof ters ot your friends. in direct violation of the rights and claims of those who were politically opposed to you. And We cha!- lenge you to show us an dffice in broad Arkansas, whose incumbent Is not your personal and political friend. You have played thls gaaae so long, that you have be- come intoxicated with success. and now boast of your tficks without blush. But your days are numbereJi-zthe place that now knows you at Washington, will shortly know you no more, as representative of tms people. The day is not distant, when the people whose rights and interests you have wantonly dsregasded, will compel you to surrender that confidence which you have so basely abused.
