The Arkansas advocate., 1835-04-10


 equal in value and excellence to the Turkey oil stones, and citizen of that place is now erecting machine for working them.
 We recommend to the afflicted visit to this romantic spot. Compared with the Hot Springs of Arkansas, Saratoga and Ballston are hardly worth the naming.
 
 CoL. SEWER s C1RooIAE.--ColoneiS Seviel is duly announced in the Gazette of Tues day last, and his circular made it's appear auce in that paper. We have not room for so long document, or We would be so cour- teous as to publish it. We have no particu- lar intention of cagilling at 1t, but there is one small matter in it concerning which we have a word to whisper in it's authors ear.
 Col. sevier states, that application was made at the last Session of Congress, for a grant of Ten Sections more of land, but that the bill for that purpose was lost for want of time. He then states that the grant may perhaps ssbe needed hefeafer." If it be not needed uo,o. why was 1t applied for!- ;; Was it honest to apply for that which we did not need The truth is, that grant of land or money Is needed noso, or the State House must cease to progress. He states that the building twill probably be ready for the re- ception of the Legislature at their next ses- sion''--that the building is constructed S.c.- Now, 1t Is very possible that the State House may be ready, but If it is, it will be by a direct tar on our citizens. Neither can 1t in truth be said that the building is constructed flor the construction of building is some- thing more than putting up the bare brick walls and the roof. On this subject the req der can refer to the Nc. Of g., contained iii tais days paper.
 We would take occasion to say, that we do not cast any blame upon Coy. Pope, for the manner in which he has performed the duty assigned him with regard to building the State House. Ne believe that he has faith fully accounted for all the funds he has re- ceived-a fact which we never doubted.
 Col. segior recommends to the Legisla- ture to compensate Gov. Pope for his extra services, and passes a high enconlium upon his conduct. He is consistent in this--but t must have been bitter pill for the Editor of the Gazette to swallow, after his last charge against the Ex-Governor. While the Gazette accuses him of unrighteously finger  ing the public money, the Delegate recom- mends that he be compensated for his faith fulness in managing them. He even speaks kindly of the Digest, whereat the Gazette was so wroth. Perhaps with | little altlsry the Governor may be induced to make psace and again fight under the black banner,
 We are sorry to acc t hinted, if notassert- ed, that the band of dsspefadees who infest this country, ia supported and countenanced by the citizens of any portion of it. We pro- test against so foul a reproach being fixed upon our citizens, and we take this occasion briefly to express our opinion upon this mat ter. We do not believe that they could find refuge in any section of the country ao,oag tAcpeople. It Is folly to imagine that peo- pie, every one Of whom is able to become, and most of whom arc holders of land and other property, would foster and uphold such gang of williams. TAe settled citizens of this country ara as earnestly opposed to them as those of any country. It is the fault, not Of tho inhabitants Of one or the other country, but of the country itself, that these villains go unpunished. It is the abun- dance of lurking places in the swamps and cane brakes-@aot the dishonesty of the peo- pie which holds them harmless. Could we think that in any one county in the Territo- " these men were openly protected and their villainies connived at, we would take refuge in some country where justice had not be- come mock and byword.
 By letter from the Hon. John H. Cooke, we arc informed that he will certainly be here in time to hold the county court--that is, by the third week of the present circuit court, now in session.
 By a letter from Jesse Turner, Esq. we are informed that William Butler, who was tried at the last term of the Crawford circuit court, for the murder of Coulter, but not convicted, \ (the jury disagreeing) escaped from the jail of said county on the night of the 27th ut.
