 We were absent when the Gazette fired a broadsde into us, three weeks ago. Not being prepared for the discharge, 1t might have done great njurybut for tanatey for us the Gazettes carronades were all char ged with blank cartridges. We have other things 10 attend to than quarrelng with the Gazette it's ductors. Ne have but little to say in reply, and that little shall be said briefly.
 ..Thnss that have seen" or, as the Gazette heads 1t, "Caricatutes of the West or the Fudges in Arkansas" we wrote upon good authority. Whenever we do write ''the Fudges in Arkansas" the Editor of the Gazette will be apt to figure conspicuously therein have seen,' the Gazette has appended here and there remark. 4 word two of answer will suffice.
 To the first, the Gazette appends the remark, ia White man. Which of the two does he mean was a White mani The loched-up or the locks,-ua' The latter is Van Buren man, good and true-and other Van Buren men were concerned in the filthy and dIs- reputable trck-and even attempted to perform it a se- eond time.
 To the second, the Gazette says, ''iudge." Per haps is the fact that the present State Treasurer undertook and promised as he Is charged withal. We had authority for it but the word of stanch Demo crat," and there being counter testimony, we ven nred to believe it. certain distinguished member from Marion did say that he was told that the Treasurer had made the promise charged upon him. that he went to him for the purpose of making the tract firm, and that as he would not come up to the mark. he refused 10 vote for him. He told others that the promise made as charged One other Van Buren member, ia Senator tool if we mistake not, gave the same testimony.
 That which the Gazette says is doubtful, we believe can be proven to be strictly true.
 As to the previous question, and inc motion to ad- iourn-- of which the Gazette says that u member can be interrupted while speakingthe editor of that paper well knows that member cannot be interrupted while he has the floor. So soon as he concludes the motion to adjourn may be made, the previous question S motion to adjourn, nnd assuming the floor the next morHngl We tell the gentleman that he knows the contrary of what he asserts. He may see on every page of the Journals of Congress, flat contradiction of his assertions He knows that the party slaves who move the previous question, always wait till the mem- Der who is speaking concludes, and then move it, if they lucky enough catch the eye of the Speaker
 How did Wise retain the floor all night, when Arlan- sas was admittedl Because he spoke all night-snd by legislative rule and the courtesy of gentlemen he could not be interrupted whiie he had the floor. Enough on this point
 That we saw men eleconeering for Judges, &c., the Gazette says is hinbug. 1.-The means by it, that the charge Is not true, We are at issue.
 As tothe two last charges, we reerate and reafIirm them. One member pledged himsefto vote for Far rely, for the Presidency of the State Bank He did this to five six different persons-and he did too without solicitation, gratuitously, and accompanied with loud protes.ations of affection for Col Farrely, and saunis of hts own independence. Yet when the vote was taken, he asked be excused from recording his yote Another promised in the streets and even al the door fine Legislative Hal to vote against Col Ashley and twenty minutes after recorded his vote in his favor.
 The last charge the Gazette brands as false. The gentleman who edits that print should be more chary in his terms. He knows that 1t is true He could mol know that 1t was fase-eyen if it were. His assertion then bears the mark of faischood on its face. Made however in the necessary discharge fthe duties of his
