 TO THE PEOPLE OF THE NORTH AND
 WEST. FELLOW -cITIzENs
 Some of the anti-Jackson Demagogues of the north and west, endeavorng to advance the of Col Fowler the ant-repubcan candidate for Governor of the State of Arkansas by proclaming to the people, that he, in the Convention, the great and efficient advocate of the right of the people of the north and west III opposition to the isiifpaoHs oi the people of the south and that, had it not been for hs mastery eleauence and exortions, the north notwithstanding its numbers would, at this time, have been subject to, and under the control of, the south IT
 simple statement of the facts in relation to this matter, will place Mr. Fowler in rather an a,rk,card postcn in regard to the people of the north, and vince every man, who is open to convictions, that he APOSTATIZED, and acted in bad faith towards them, notwithstanding his great preensions in their favor. The facts these: When the report of the Legislative Committee under consideration in the Convention, motion made by some member from the north, to strike all that part that had relation to the apportionment of Senators and Representatives among the different counties, which motion prevailed, and the north triumphant over their southern brethren. Alter some altercation among members, in respect to what should be the proper apprortonment of Senators and Representatives Col Fotpier moved to refer the report to select committee consist of five members; which motion prevailed--and Messrs. Fowler Drew Clark of Johnson, Clark of Chicot, and McKean, were appointed said comnttee--beng three northern and two southern members.
 Mr. Fowler made the report of the committee, which fixed the apporonment as il stands in the Con- stItuton, but did not by any change the basis of Representation, reported by the first committee i; and on the question, shaR is report Dc adopted? all the members from the north voted for it, ercept FOWLER, aud three others who not being before the public, shall be nameless-by which vote, the unequal apportion- ment was fixed on the people of the north.
 Alter reading and examining carefully the foregoing facts, will any candid man, for a single moment, tend that Col. FOWLER acted HONESTLY, or in GOOD FAITH, towards the people of the north? Would It not be rather in accordance with human nature, to suppose that when he making many pretcnsons in favor of the north that he had hs eye on the Gubernaorial chair, and the north being in the majority. If he could gut hem by his false psetences, he would at the winding up of the business throw him. seit into the arms o the south, and thereby his election?
 Il IS hoped that the free Republicans of the north Will not permit themselves to be duped by the sophstry oi Col. Fowler, or any other Ant-Jackson Demagogue.
