The Arkansas advocate., 1835-03-20

We give, below, some extracts from 6 re- 5 ply of the Editor of the Gazette to Governor Pope-and the rejoinder of the Governor thereto. Every man in the community is ae- quainted with the circumstances which led to the qaarrcl--and therefore these publica- tfons and charges need no comment from us. We only ask the people whether the charges made by tie Advocate, in 1855, were true or net! We think, before this quarrel ceases. tie belligarents will be able to satisfy the public on the question. We quote from the Gazetse
 "As to the time when Gov. Pope's term expires, or which he dweiis so much, We consider 1t mere matter of moon-shine. 1t IS not probable lbe President intended to remote him, and We therefore presume he will be permitted to serve out the remain der of the term for which he was scoinmis- sioned-and that we, the SMALL FRY," that is, those of ,ss slse isis,t believe fl the s.sajoll,tihfg q the Iopen must .sbeag'' with him until that day of jubilee sha!! ar rive, which, according to his own story, will not extend beyond the 24th inst. Col. sevier probably wrote merely from the i'm pression that Gov Pope's first commission was issued immediately after the 4th of March, and that no lnteregnum occurred between it's expiration and the commence ment of the second.
 The stigma which lie tries to attach to us, Is almost too contemptibe to notice.

 Tn reply the Governor uses the following language. Our readers can judge of tlle just ness of his remarks and the truth of his assor- tions, aa well ae ourselves.

He said some very severe things of Judge Fulton about year ago, and now hopes to lie him. self into favor for the sake of the small printing patronage in the gift of the new Governor. doubt whether he could pro- cure 100 respectable men in the country to say in writing, with their reasons, that they ftfr<ir rpd cho !

 About year since he consented to pub llsh in his paper, without comment or vin- dicaiioil, ylolent assault upon his friends those who elected him to oifiee--for fear of losing the patronage of the Secretary. in the summer after, he asserted a wiIful falsehood in saying that he offered to do it with proper omments.-Ihe proof IS at hand
 In cold blood, and with malice afore- thought, he assailed my character and in- tegrity as a public officer, because dld not give him printing job. He Is now asserting falsehoods to please the new Go vernon, from sordid motives. An editor who will permit his friends to be aspersed in his own columns, will assert faIsehoods and as- perse deliberately the feelings and integrity of hIs neishbor for the sake of dollars, ought 10 have dasiard and villain marked on his forehead.-lf had given him the printing of the laws, he will admit, know, that he would have believed in the infal!lbiity of the Pope.
