PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.

Sou, ,auemptS u worry unJust dsperston on Tne Le'
gislaturc, and very unprovoked attack upon
MIR. Tebbetls. the Prosecuting Attorney for this
Circuit, who is as far above the reach of the viii.
ming editorsand their mortified and defeated friend,
as is the lowering Oak, from the scrubby Black
Jacks that surrounds it. They call deliberate act
of the Legislature in the performance ofther duty
under the Constitution Of the Slate, .Loco foco
outrage" and gives for its reason for deprving
this circuit of the valuable services of the la;e
Prosecuting Attorney, that he voted for Byrd,
Walker and Turner. The sapient editors forgot TO
add that he voted for John d. Logan, which is
reason sufficient, God knows. While this print is
whining for the right of their friend Mr.. Walker
to vote for whom he pleases, protests against the
members of the Legislature exercising the same
privilege, but this is much consistency and
reason as the "Organ, and its Federal supporters
are distinguished for. We presume they have
como to the conclusion that the democrats have
no Lawyers Of equal merits with their pets-some
of the talented defeated Federal candidates in
this c,un:y will be 10 ath TO admit that any
thing. else than Mr.. W's hypocritcal professions
Of democracy ever elevated him to a station, which
none but the sober and upright man should be al:
,owod TO fill. If fWalker has thrown off the mask,
he has no one to blame for his defeat but himself,
even according to the showing of his particular
friends, the editors.
The Editors of the Organ" and its readers
should know that there were o, her causes for the
defeat of their friend besides his political independ-
ence. He arrived at Little Rock, and presented
himself before those who were 20 decide upon his
fitness to fill an Office, in condition which gave
the strongest evidence Of want of sufficient NOR.

a vice which renders the life of man worse than
an ignomnious death. His sins Of political and
personal ingratitude were well known 10 the
Members, and with all this knowledge before them
they in their wisdom and power selected the per.
son whom they thought most suitable to the Of
flee. The Legislature endorsed Mr.. Tebbetts
and by way of offset these sapient and respectable
editors endorsed Mr.. Walker, and by this affair
they expect TO make capital. to which they are
welcome as well ast the principal.
There were three candidates for the office in
question, two were democrats-one of the defeat

who is not willing 10 submit to the will of the peo-
pie or their Representatives. He will arrogate
superiority over his peers; and clamours if he is

compare favoraby with the late Prosecutor, in
point of moral worth, political and personal in.

of these respects he is Walkers equal while in
others he is his superior, then wherefore so much

late Prosecutor
As to the reported case, which was evidently

wards arrived to the first distinction. We know
of some gentlemen who have prosecuted in Ar
kansas for several years, and they can now prove
by every tavern keeper in the circuit that their
services have never been in sulfisccnt demand to
enable them to discharge their bills.
This eternal complaining of the Federalis,s is
bad enough, when they have proper mon, bu,
when crocodile tears are discharged on all kinds
Of small game it is truly disgusting.
In this endorsement of the Editors of the From.

attorney, we discover poverty of reputation,
which we would not havo looked for even in Mr..
