The Arkansas advocate., 1836-08-19

Alier lhe general result of the late election was knowu adversares began to feel that the scmen- tal letters published in the Gazette not altogether the creation of fancy! That particularly, which gave the assurance, that four Van Buren Democrats would be returned from Crittenden and Mississippi counties, they swallowed with sort of painful reluc- tance, bordering despair.- Gazette.
 The foregoing paragraph is in character. It is like quack-doctor getting mud cart and yelling for joy, because he has steamed poor devil to death or choked him with his diabolical potions
 The Gazette not long since conradicted our assertion that Major Gates struck from the army roii without trial. The foundation for the contradiction Is, that he was heard before Court of indury.'' Suppose he Had "Court Of Inquiry any right to try him? What authority has "Court of Inquiry to y any one What IS Court of Inquiry! Here is the rule defining it's powers. Read it.
 aArt. 78. The proceedings of a court of inquiry shall be authenticated by the signature of the recorder and the president, and delivered 10 the commanding officer, and may be admitted evidence by court martial in cases capital extending 10 tue dts mtssfon ef an oficels when oral testimony cannot be obtained"
 There two things in the last Gazette, which re- qure passing notice. One the following paragraph from dsquisiton upon the ssNew State House:''
 "This building will hereafter be under the supervs- ion o the representatives of the people themselves and subject to their conrol-consequeny we may expect more promphtude, more attention, and more economy in its compIetion.'
 The other is the following from an article upon the public printing
 "He is of those who were taken in, by the spe- cious proposition, to let out the Public Printing to the lowest bdder-while others, opposition men, found the only mode they could hit on, to indulge their spleen, and throw the former editor of this paper who had promptly executed the work for many years previous"
 We have hinrp @I,o the foregoing djcto This editor should be taught gall the heel of his party and his predeces sor When was ever more cutting satire perpetrated upon any party than contained the first quotation! sWe may expect promptitude more attention and more economy ill its completion" Look back to the days of the Ten Section feud. After Gov Pope who then of the party had vetoed the Ten Section bi at the nstgation of his party the Delegate mana ged 10 have the disposition of that fund taken from the representatives of the people and given Gov Pope The latter gentleman was continually charged with want of attention, prompttude and economy, in the nagement of that fund, and the erection of the State House, and during the years 1892 and 33 the Gazette zeaonsly and indignantly defended him against these charges The State House fund has been managed by men of their own party exclasivelythe building has been under their sole and drection and whatever o blame there may bewhatever want of promptitude attention and economy, it is chargeable upon the Ga zette and It's party. They have expended thrty-twe thousand dollars, and have huge, enseemly clumsy, awkward pile of brick-a disgrace the country to show for It. No man ever saw such specimen of arch
 
 like Chinese pagoda. Such as it s to the Sever par ty belongs the undivided credit of it. At whom then is the foregoing hypocrtea paragraph aimed! Is it aim cd at Col Sever for putting the State House funds into the hands of Governor Pope Is 1t aimed at Gov. Pope at his agent Col. Ashley! Or is 1t aimed by the moath-pece of the party at the party themselves!
 The latter paragraph IS still mpudent than the former 1.-The spacious proposition to let the public printing to the lowest bdder And who first introdu- ced. the plan of letting it out! Why 1t has been the hobby of the party for the last five years We have al ways struggled against 1t. sSpecous propostion' in deed Ay, is specious Look the session of 1853 when the Legislature voted to give 1t to the lowest bid der and afterwards gave 1t to the highest. sThe only mode they could hit indulge their speen!" Real y this passes comprehension. At the session spo ken of Mir. Woodruff friends found almost unan mously voting for giving the printing the lowest bid der It was dear to the party, and sanctioned by it's leaders and the Gazette It resored to by them to break down MT Derrand-but ssthe party has now the majority-and new 1t is become ssspecious proposition So 1t is with the State House business The party will now have majority in the Legislature and therefore, put the fund in their hands! The same principle unbushingy avowed, whatever expense of consistency and honesty, through every thing The State in the hands of party. The people have tied themselves hand and foot, and yielded themselves and they must suffer the consequences. Party rules the daythe spells belong the victors, is the motto. It IS openly declared that all offices to be distributed to partizans. Give the public printing whenever you choose, says the Gazette, because have majority, and to get it this tme So mote it be! The evil will, after time, work its 
 The Gazette has been in the habit of making great uproar about the mails We have held peace until orbearance has ceased to be virtue Some of our sub scrbers get their papers in three weeksand con- nnal complaints of irreguarty made to from pa ces where if there be any reguarity is the fault of the There are knaysh partizanS
