Eartae Advncate.

Ii is matter of astonlshment to me, hr. Editor, that men who are acquainted with his political character, should recommend Col. c. Caldwell to the people as saita- ble person to represent them in the ensuing Convention. The writers for the Times would make Us believe that he is one of our soundest political sages-that he is almost a secand Westinghouse sort oE Gen. iacis
 son of a fellow. The writer of this article happens to know something of mr. Cald- well, and his political characier--it political character he has. We'll, ih the first place, he has been the tool and instrument of every prominent man in the Territory-and never had integrity and honesty enough to serve one master, longer than he could obtain higher aeages from another. In the second place, lie has belonged to every party in Arkansas. When Sevier, Ashley S Go. kicked him out Of their ranks some years ago, he went over to the enemy-the Crit tenden pariy-and nosg he has gone back l to his old masters. He was the only man in the late Legislature who was degraded enough 10 suffer Ashley and Woodruff to dictate his course. The Bank bill which he introduced, and for which he claimed much credit, was written by Ashley. l ad- vocaie the same doctrines in relation to the basis of representation, that are advocated ] by Mir. Caldweil--but would vote for man of opposite doctrines in preference, because have no faith in his professions. He has one set of principles when a candidate, and another when elected he is for God to-day and the Devil tomorrow. No man who is guilty of such contempible means to obtain popularity, as has "gaunt Tony,p IS entitled to the respect, much less the pofes of the people, Il IS known to the public here, that our worthy Colonel was once mem Der of the Baptist church--and why did he join tl because he he heartily repeated of his sins, and wished the forgiveness of bis God? No, reader-he adopted ttai plaa 10 obtain the pofes ot the members Qf tie ch7geh!' Such k the fact, and 1t cannot be denied.- Three days after he was baptsed, he could s,gear with as much grace as he ever did. Such Is the man that is recommended as a fit person 10 make a Constitution for free lpeopieu If Mr. Caldwell had been a can didste fer a less important office, should lnot have troubled the public with line abeat hifn.--Ea the forthcoming Conven- ton, we want nen of firmness and integri- ffy, as wei as taients--not weather-cocks or worn down political prostitutes. This Is only short dand af1air--if the Colonel or his loving friends wish his character in ex- l tenso, 1t can be had by application to

For the Advocate. GOV HILTON.

His Exceliency appears destined to rem der himself unpopular in this county. When the expected mantle fell from the shoulders of Gov. Pope on Judge Fulton, the news was received here with pleasure; not that Gov. Pope's abilities were under rated, but there was a suspicion among tho people that the Governor was interested in the location of the 10 section claims, which which were making serious inroads upon our river lands; whether true or not, am unable 10 say; but 1t matters not, Ii true for official pecnlation IS no uncommon thing in this our happy Republic, at thls tune.
 When the aeao Governor made the e.rpose of his constitutional objections (heaven save the mark!) 10 our speedy admission into the Ccniederacy, as free and independent State, it was received here with regret-it was unexpected to the people--but the Go' vernon had considerable number of aafit- rat friends in this county. l say natural, because a majority of the voters here are identified as Seyier men, and 1t was well known that Judge Fulton had invariably supported GGoi. ssevier, since :ais appoint
