 IL will be recoIlected by your readers, that in November, 1883, there arose diff ference of opinion between the then Gov ernor and the Secretary, ending in a dispute of some aspenty, and much bad feeling on both sides. The subject of the dispute was the legality of the proceedings of the Governor, with regard to the State House. The Gazette warmly espoused the side of the Governor-and the following extracts will shew the tone assumed by 1t towards the Secretary. Speaking of Judge Fulton, 1t remarked:
 eHe is too intoIerant. He seems to think that no one can entertain correct opinion unless it corresponds with his opin ion on the same subject.
 stHe is good honest sort of man,' in his own way, but those who know his cali bre, consider it "a sin to Crockett for ham to attempt to eonstfue statutes. A word to the seise might be sufficient fer some peo- pie, but to him 1t would be advice thrown away. ."-Feb. 25.
 --and moreover admitted communica- ton to it's columns wherein Judge Fulton was characterized as "grinning excres- eence on a tree.-s'a Harlequin with an aperture from ear to ear"
 These attacks had their effect upon the Secretary. He felt the utmost indignation, and denounced tie editor of the Gazette in unmeasured tefms.--Who would not have done 1t? BHt not content with this, the Ga- zette extraeted from the Helena Herald a papez edited by the same John Steele, who is now to the Gazette as an abomina- ti5a-a long concern which he was pleased 10 term a legal argument, in favor of Gov ernor Pope. This the Gazette eulogized greatly, and expressed much satisfaction at finding is opinion so well supported. Af- ter time the Gazette found out that Gov errior Pope would not be re-appointed. and it accordingly commenced quarrel with him, of which the ostensible ground was hat the Governor had given to Steele the printing of the Digest. Perhaps that teas l reason. At all events, the Gazette soon discovered many faults in the Governor which its keen vision had failed to see be- ore-and laid great claims to patriotism. Or reiteraiing charges, against which it had ,een defending the Governor for years. Governor Pope IS removed, and Secretary Fulton becomes Governor, and the Gazette alls down instanter, and worships the new dol. Goreinof Fulton Is found out to be Iuite different man from Secretory-sim- lie Secretary Fulton. It IS found out that le eaB construe statute, notr. 'sHe will give general satisfaction'-a the Gazette akes great pleasure in praising him. Af- CT giving sundry kicks at the dead lion, 1t urns round and brays lustly for his success 'or. It is the office, and not the man, to whom il IS loyal. Like the idolater of I'm pet he cares not whether an old man or ,hild Is the Lama--in either case it Is to iim God. His loyalty shall have its re- ward. He shall be the Government print sr, and monopolize all the fat jobs in the Territory. That is to say, if he can suc- ,eed in ingratiating himself with the new Governor. How that may be, remains to De seen. 1 await the event with Impatience and with anxiety, for would fain think well and kindly of the new Governor. l warn him not to prostitute his influence to the support Of any party ] tell him that there is only one way by which he can re- tire from office, followed by the affections and the blessings of the people--and not by their curses and hootings. Let hum avoid like the poison of death, every thing which may seem like fayoritism or parti- zanship. Let him cautiously shun any en- tanging allances-and especially with men who have hitherto denounced and abandon ed him. For me, and trust answer for every man who is opposed to the faction by which he is claimed-we wish no alli- ance with him. Let him stand aloof, and perform his duty as Governor, without meddling with party strife, or becoming a tool to the champions of legitimacy. They have kind of pre-emption right to each
 Governor of Arkansas. The late Govern
