iniure him by misrepresentation and islanders; and again has he successfully repelled the vile imputa tons and made them receil upon his accusers again have these yipers been biting file; and again have they been forced to swallow their own venom. Thus has it ever been, and will ever be, Pure gold but comes out the brighter from the fire So with Gov. YELL: every trial, through which he goes eleyates him in the estimation of honest men; eXery foul as- persion, which his enemies seek to cast upon him, falls harmless at his feet and leaves him stronger with the people. He stands before the people upon his own merits, and the merits of his cause. Con- seious of his own rcctitude and purity, he is not even made angry at the malice of his enemies but smiles with contempt, upon the impotence of their efforts to injure him.
 But how is t with Dary TyaLter? man who asks au honorable office at the hands of the people How must he feel, and how gaust he stand in the timation of honorable men With all the boasting of himself and his friends, he has utterly 1tiIed to meet Governor YELL in argument upon the poiti- cal questions which he undertook to discuss. Smart ing under the sigual defeat he has experienced on all occasions in this contest he has noW just before the election, abandoned all pretensions to fair and manly controversy upon political principles and mea
 ures and resorted 10 the filest weapon of the vile, Siaader upon the personal character of his competi tor Ifany evidence had been wanting to prove his weakness and unwoTtlliaess, and his consciousness of being weak and unworthy, it is now furnished. Why has he deferad such an attack upon Gov. YELL, until this late day? Why has he pQfi@sedto be his warm personal friend, holding in his possession, all the while what he now calls proof that Gov YELL had made fnisstatement oftacts? Only one answer can be given to these questions H. has hated Gov. YELL, in secret. while protesting to be his friend, the better to conceal his purpose, and mature his plan to injure him. He has been afraid to make the attack, before, because there was plenty of time to repel if, and make t reeoi upon him, before the election. But, as the election Is so near at hand, now, he thought his charge could go forth and work its desired mischief, before exposure and relutaton could overtale i In this assa7sin-like course, he is but co-laborer with his friends here at Little Rock But as justice would haSe it. the exposure and relutation were al hand. They were here; and Gov YELL had only to ride 50 miles to get them.- They prove Darid FaLfcf 10 be ttlsi6ef and slea- derer, beyond the possibility of escape. Need we ask any honorable man. Whig or Democrat, ii he can vote for such man!
 And Col. John DIeaasat A he is not eandi- diae we shall not say, what we might very properly say of him. Ne have only to ask him, how he feels, while Dary WaLfer has his letter. which says that Gov YELL. had mol made transfer of his Bankstoc to Col Fletcher, at tie same time that Gov. YELL has letter from him, which cerihes that he nod made tGe tTa6sfeTa
 In confirmation Of alive have said in this matter, H. YELL The facts set forth cannot be controverted Let the people read for themselves, draw their own conclusions, and act accordingly:
 To the Freemen of Arkansas.
 GENrLgaEN - have received all l#unu- sual share of abuse at the hands of my op- l ponents. So long as these islanders and de- fractions were confined to newspaper gcrib- bers, l did not feel myself called upon to reply to them But since my uFracitg has l been assailed by one of my competitors, .1E. i Walker, 1t Is due to myself, and to the De- mocratic party, that should promptly repel theimpulation.
 During the whole canvass, have endea- yorcd to treat my competitor with courtesy and respect; assailing alone his political l opinions. regret to say that, on a late oc- casion, at Lewisburg, MT Walker did not meet me in the same spirit It will be re- membered by all, that in almost every public I speech l have made, ] stated that ! had ta- keR SlocL n Lte Real Egtaic Bank (5l shareSJ ]. for tbe bcaem of C friend ja Tennessee l (,john c .Nc LeMore3; Haul soon afier Ae stock had becn a1cardcd, learning that Mr. Me- Lemore did not want so small an amount of stocb) ] traasfcrYcd it 10 Col. E. H. FLET- CHER, of Mississippi County, Arkansas ;; and Htat bad not 6orroUcd one cent, a7oa ibat stock aud further Mat I had the cer- tifcate of Col. DRENNEN 10 Htdt e6ecG
 made similar statement at Lewisbmg, on the the Eth inst, where Mir. Walker and myself addressed the people,
 After had concluded, Mir. Walker again rose (lor he had opened the debatel and then, to my utter astonishment, for the first time, did he coAlforert Ahe t19tb of my state ment, in relation to the transfer of my Slock to Col Fletcher. As evidence of my having ] mjSrcpreSenied the facts, he introduced let l ter from Col. Jao. Dreaaca, the President of the Bank, which stated that he supposed f was "'BiStabea,n or there was some 1.miSfake GboUt my haci6g traHsfered my stock 10 Co., 1 Fictcher ;" or words to that effect. Not having the letter before me, dc not pretend to quote the precise words. l then pledged the production of Drennen's certificate to me, in relation to the transfer. or I would not expect or desire the support of the peo- l pie.
 I was astonisifed at the attack, because had not on any previous occasion heard the truth of my statement doubted was as tonished at the tiatc and mode of the attack only one month before the election, and stho letter of the President of the Bank who had, on a former occasion, furnished me with inc evidence on which relied to sus- tain my assertion. More than all, l was as tonshed 10 fndmy ceracity assailed by men with whon had been on the most friendly terms. And l still have the charity to be- iieye, that Col Drennen had forgotten his f iaf for. .s,,,fl fsar.fs.
