iago, when detected in his calumnies, stand mute in his glory? Or will he, aided by the editor of the bank organ, sort of town crer, or news-boy believing in the street. use up Sevier, by fabricalng and publishing new calumnies, as fast us the old ones are detected and exposed? What will he do ? These are questions which the literati, poli- tical leaders, and lovers of fun, seem to have been putting to each other, from the close of the last winter to the present time. They are questions which need not be put in it- tre. The Doctor, after the most cruel sus- pense of four or five months, is out in the last Gazette, entrenched behind the editorial of that paper, in the midst of the dog-days of July, in three columns of prosing lulIabas, remarkably well calculated to put old men to gaping, and children to sleep.
 Out of the great personal regard l have for the Doctor, (of course l could have no other indueement,) l have read his appeal to the public; and from that reading, have discovered that in that publication, the good man of Washta has two objects i'll view The first is, to defend himself against the modest and mild, yet pointed and galling re- buke, he received, upon the subject of his | i ture.
 Now, sir, having no particular fancy for travelling in a circle, must beg leave to be permitted, so far as that matter is concerned, 10 leave him where his associates in the | Assembly have left him. The Doctoi pre- ferred his charges against me--he was n- dulged with a committee of inquiry-hc was member of that communicable had two or three weeks allowed him to make out his case-he tried me in secret, in the saloon of the Bank, and in my absence from the inves- tgation-and the result of all his efforts, is to be found in the report of his committee, at page 97, in the appendix to the journals of the last legislature. You will also find appended to that report, the evidence upon which 1t was predicatcd. That report was adopted in the House of Representatives, by a vote of 57 to G. And who, sir, were those six? They were Byers, (once the editor of that deectable print called the Batesviilc News Bateman, his colleaglie,) Gaines of Chicot, (my representative and champion,) Martin of Franklin, Steuart of Desha, and the Doctor himselE These were the six pa triotic, unadulterated, good and true whigs, who either believed the Doctor had told the truth, or else stood by him, fGibson included which l think most probable, out of real pity and party sympathy-for none of these worthy gentlemen could possibly bear me any ill-will; their long and unvaried friendship for me, p.,or to that time, would preclude such an inference. Against the opinions of those six, (the Doctor included there were ff1-Spren members, consisting of ahigs and democrdlS, that thought the Doctor, to say he least about it, was mistaken upon sub ject upon which he ought to have been fla miliar, as all the facts about it were on file, in Bank in which he had been for years director. And now, after all this, the Doctor is for arguing this matter over again. He will do so, of course, if he chooses and have no doubt the editor of the Gazette will SO advise him. For the editor wants something for his paper. Sabinus has run out; and the Lawyer of the Bank is not now here, to write for him in an editorial form, any more history upon the subject of the Real Estate Bank. The Doctors. last piece came to shc editors relief very seasonably. He had gotten his paper upon short commons, or, as dis tiller would say, he had reduced the substance of his tubs to sssingiiag" repeat, the Doctor will write upon this subject as much as he pIeases; but in that argument, can be no party. invite the public, however, to read the Doctors resolutions-the report of the committee upon them-the evidence upon which that report was founded-and the action of the House upon the whole of the subject; and after having done so, have no doubt shall be satisfied with their verdict any publication of the Doctor, or of his ally of Ia tn bp h. standing.
 The second object of the Doctor, (which by-the-by, is somewhat egotistical,) is to show the world his knowledge of the char acter and standing of Caldwell, the infoymey -hs private traliickiag with his slave-and lastly, the wisdom and fidelity of his dog. The wisdom and fidelity of which, according to his experience, in having his purse and basket packed by him, is such as would put to shame, the wisdom and fidelity of Grip, the braggard of Barnaby Rudge, of whom the novelist gives an account. understand from the Doctor, that there is ill this country a man by the name of Caldwell, who has recently become an mfo,mer, and that he became so to Subse,oe Me public good. The Doctor is also an iaformer-and, as he tells us, he is so to snbScrce Me public good. The Doctor tells us Caldwell has acquired dis tinction by his disclosures-and so has the Doctor, although he is too modest now to claim it. Thus far runs theanalogy between these distinguished gentlemen. Idonot now believe, and hope never shall, that it reaches any further. The Doctors history of Cald- well-his dealings with his negro and tho wisdom of his dog, are new points in our con troversy as is also his allusion to my betting at faro.
 My opinion is, that we had better get cleal } of our old issues before we have new ones and so thinking, l will only say, in ad- ? dition, upon this new and extraneous matter 3 for the satisfaction of the Doctor, Gas wei as for the satisfaction of his neighbors a 5 .4rkadelpAia, who honored me with public notice few months ago, and in which wal
