The Arkansas advocate., 1836-08-12

The Gazette says that opposton -fedeialism--nul lfcaton--aaaieS-ttirus and all, are consigned to early grave in Arkansas s Ay, and considering the
 Editor o the Gazette the grave digger may say of him in the words of Hamlet; shat scull had tongue the ground if 1t Gains bone, that did the first murder! This might be the pate of politician which this ass ROW o'er-reaehes."
 The Gazette says that poltical parties and principles distinct the characters propositions in Eu- cid" We not that Euclid ever wrote q work characters This in article rePfoba- tory of "fenee menl"-ssne- party menand those who
 look out for the strongest side. Such men, 1t says, are the and betrayers of all parties The article must be intended to save off certain importunate turn-coats who jumped the fence and got the side of Van Buren,
 and clamorous for their pay. Rghtl Let them be treated as one of their former adherens said he
 They have done dogs work--et them have dogs pay.
 The Gazette gives the following toast drank in Ten nessee. It is intended compliment, we supposet By Col K. l.. Anderson. Co.'s .McKisick and
 YeH--May the latter go to Congress with ease, and the former have good luck with his mule colts.
 Does the Gazette mean to insinuate that the raising of mule colts and going to Congress are avocatons equally honorable and requiring equal degree of in tellect! Ifso tis the solution of certain riddle.
 1.-The Advocate has arranged the Judiciary for Us, all as straigM as shiagie If it had only appointed C. P Bertrand secretary of state! the legislature would have been relieved of nearly half its du;lesGosete
 ssSoh there, word before you go." "Ilas arranged the Judiciary for US" What text for a freeman to comment upon Why not say at once, tour Judiciary good Van Buren Judges!o Such is in fact the tone of the last Gazette 'sIhe Democratic party, 1t says
 Git is imagined, has enough of the right faith, pos sessed of character and capacity for the public employ ment without putting forward opposition men, to abuse their offices in putting down the cause of the people
 What means this mention of the Judiciary and the office o Secretary of State in juxa-positioG Why speak of them both in the breath rewards to be bestowed on sycophantle parastes You say that we have ged the Judiciary. How! We have simply said that party feeling should be allowed to have influence in their select Is this treason to Van Burensml sit 1t anti-republican! We did indeed say that certain gentlemen had been spoken of and that had objection to either of them. We could half dozen more to whom would not object. Ofthe three gentlemen mentioned by us least Van Buren other a personal friend of Col. Sever How then have arranged the Judiciary? fis true that have raised our voice against appointing Judiciary of plant parasites on party prncipesor permitting par ty considerations to have in the selections for the Benchnot, however that we supposed such eXhor tations would be listened to-not that ina gned for that feeble hand could the onward and downward course of eorruption--not that thought that the few men who have led the guard in this election and imagine themselves to be the dspens- of honors and rewards could Dy any possibility listen to the dictates of patrotsm bestoW passing thought Ill the hurry of their fleet upon the veal and ad vantage of the people. Oh no! We were fully aware that party Judiciary would be forced upon us. We did not for moment suppose that any regard for country would induce the leaders to exempt the ermine from the common scramble for office and emoument. The nine iudgeshps will be both needful and acceptable to the greedy adherents whose hungry locust swarms will come here like the frogs of Egypt clamorousy croakng for office. The robes of judicial dignity will be flung out among them for them to growl and snar over, while they contend for the price they have earned Ay earned
 flor men judgeshps by political parzan- mi fip tIVi ilpI,fii upon this subject? Because determined that at least should be raised in behalf of correct principles and the dearest interests of Arkansas AL though left standing alone with the tide of cor rupon sweeping every thing of constitutional freedom, public virtue and private patriotism broken fragments away from around would still lift voice against
 the monstrous system of making the robes of justice ward for partzan services Our words ght be unheard and unheeded in the dark confusion of the chaos around us, but we should still have done our duty.
 We still say to these men, though with not the most remote hope that they will listen voice, ssDspense your rewards to your parasteset all offices of and profit be filled by your partisans. We neither ask expect share. Trustees acting for the people, go with eye single to the good of the party. Let office and appointment, reward and emoument be confined to the ranks o your adherentsbut at least give us free and independent Judiciary. Soil not the ermine with the pollution of partizan furyput plant tools and wheeling sycophants upon the Bench. Let those who have the rights property and personal liberty the pow of life and death their hands, be impartial unpre-
 udced recmen. In the selection of the Judiciary have what little regard you to talents, integrity, and law knowedge--and then let every other office, if you so choose, be given as reward and stipend!'
 We published in our last Circular from the Treasury Department, directing that after the 10th inst nothing but gold and silver shall be received in payment for pub
 lie land except from actual settlers, who may purchase with Bank paper any quantity not 320 acres until the 18th of December next when this privilege ceases
 The proessed object of the Circular prevent specu-
 ation in public andsand granting this to be the
 intention, it s at best apty described by the old adage
