Arkansas intelligencer., 1844-07-20

OF The editor Of the "Fron,ier Whig" has pre- /.
scribed as standard of morals for himself and
his party, the life and character of 4. w. Ar
rington whom he is ready to rove is u gentleman
whose morals are good as those of anv mar in
the rarty, or, at all events, which is easier to &C.
complish, as his own. He can Justify Mr.. AS
elopement--he can justify AS rotous and bacha-
nalan conduct at Little Rock, where he spent the
mornings in the Legislative halls, the evenings
delivering lectures on Temperance and the nights
IN The haunts Of vice and lnfamy-whose con.
duct so outraged the feelings of. that community
that tho honest and independent Eli Colby dc.
nounced him as 90 immoral to hold any place of
honour or trust at the hands of the whigs big
Mush' can Justify all this, it is in keeping with
his code of morals. This grovelling creature
would like to reduce all the whg party to n level
with darlington and himself, by intma,np tb,

knowledge) and that his political destruction would
be the rum Of his party.
The readers of the "Whig' arc referred bv i,s
editor, to the communication Of "Veri,as" for =,
particular vindicaton of his compeer. If we
mistake not the veracity Of "Feritas" cannot he
relied upon for it has been charged upon him ,ha,
he too has found poaching more congenial 10 his
feelings than preaching; he is the parsonage so
famed in the Fayetteville mnslrelsy as the
Attorney at Law,
The jack that waded the Arkansaw
he could drive the quill and WELD the hammer
could practice law and teach the grammar
Gould pouch and preach, sing ia so la
Then pray and bray eh -ah eh.ah.'
"Verltas' has certainly "come to bury Cesar,
not to p.aise him.
1t must be cause of qualification and prde
to the wings of Crawford, many of whom, we are
able 10 say are proud high minded and chivaIrous.
to learn that their organ is a never.failipo
source of talsehood and copardice, whose hire.
ling conductor acknowledges no code of honor
except the 'almighty dollar" The intellect of
its editor scars no higher than the retailing SIAN
ders--pubIishing perverted accounts and distorted
tacts--lIbelllng the private characters Of his ad
versarles. His courtesy towards political ad.
versary is governed by narrow minded par,izan
feeling; that of arrogating all the virtue and ia.
lent to his own party. and denying any to his op-
Ponents. From our knowledge of the good whig
citizens OF Crawford we free to say that these
are not the kind of labors they expec, from press
in their service. We believe they want an editor
who will "combat the errors of the democratic
Party-expose the fai!acies of their opponents
to vlndicate their principles, and to develope them
to the minds of all parties" We do not believe
that they relish the mis-statemen,s respecting pr-
vate character from their editor, who, when they
are exposed and thrown into his face, will not cor
rect them, and when, for which, he receives the
poltroon's brand upon his forehead, and wears the
same with the cool Unconcern of a hardened and
calIous coward.
lh's "Organ' was established, avowedIy to en-
tighten the honest and true yeomanry of The
country; and this is the system upon which 1t
teaches. Can truth and manly sentiments be ex.
pected to emnate from such Il source!
